Chapter 666: Cold Cave in the Cave
Jingtian and Xie Siyu quickly caught up with Xuehua.
However, the black wolf had completely disappeared, and it was unknown how deep the cave ahead was.
At this time, the cave has turned into an ice cave, with icicles as sharp as arrows above it.
There are also many icicles standing on the ground, and you may get hurt if you are not careful.
Fortunately, this was not an obstacle for Jingtian and others. After the black wolf passed by, there was no trace of the underground on these icicles and ice shoots.
The two men and the scorpion didn't communicate at all, they just chased forward.
After a while, the ice in the cave became thicker and thicker, and the space naturally became smaller and smaller. The giant scorpion began to have difficulty moving, and began to knock off some icicles.
Fortunately, after a hundred meters, the space suddenly expanded and turned into a huge ice room.
This ice room is a hundred meters high and covers an area of about five hundred square meters . As soon as I came in, I saw Black Wolf standing in the middle.
In the corner of the ice room, there was actually a golden eagle standing there, its surface covered with frost, and it was obvious that it had been dead for a long time.
In front of the golden eagle's corpse, there were several animal carcasses piled up, including lions, tigers, bears, leopards, and wolves.
These corpses are obviously several times larger than normal animals. Even if they are not spiritual beasts, they are at least preparatory-level spiritual beasts. Because they are dead, it is impossible to distinguish them from their breath for the time being.
Of course, it could also be a monster!
“Is this… a tomb or a storage room?”
After seeing this scene, Jingtian's expression changed slightly.
If there was no golden eagle's corpse, Jingtian thought this might be where the golden eagle stored food.
But there is obviously a dead golden eagle, so that's not certain.
"Neither. The doubts that have been bothering me for the past few years have finally been solved!" Black Wolf suddenly said lightly.
"It's so mysterious, just tell the story if you have one!"
Xuehua curled her lips and walked forward to observe the corpses.
If these are complete corpses, then their spirit cores should still be there.
"There's nothing much to say. This golden eagle is the father of the two little eagles you took away. He was once my friend, but he suddenly disappeared a year ago!" Black Wolf said lightly.
Xuehua didn't ask any more questions. At this time, she found that among these corpses, only the golden eagle's spirit core was still there, which made Xuehua's eyes flicker.
“…That’s not right!”
Jingtian suddenly expressed his doubts, and then said, "This golden eagle died a year ago, but the little eagle was only about ten days old. A golden eagle is the kind of creature that takes ten months to give birth!"
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for Jingtian to have such suspicion . Birds lay eggs, and even the special ones will definitely be born after a few months.
"There is no doubt that there are only two golden eagles on the entire earth. Although golden eagles lay eggs, their eggs can survive for up to fifty years as long as they ." Black Wolf dispelled Jingtian's doubts with just one sentence.
"Wow, this is incredible." Jingtian shrugged.
"Let's take these corpses away. They will rot sooner or later if left here. We can make use of them and provide some nutrition to Jiuxiao's people when we go back." Xuehua said at this time.
Jingtian raised his eyebrows. The other corpses didn’t matter. The main thing was the golden eagle, which had a very high-level spiritual core in its brain!
"Don't think about taking the two golden eagle spirit cores. They are essential for the little eagle's growth." Xuehua seemed to understand Jingtian's thoughts and dismissed them directly.
"No, you must leave one for me. Victoria regia has a wind-attributed physique and skills, which are very important to her." Jingtian did not give in this time.
"...Leave the spirit core to me. I will be responsible for helping Wang Lian and Xiao Yuezhu improve their realms, at least to the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. How about it?" Xuehua said after a slight hesitation.
"make a deal!"
Jingtian nodded and agreed without hesitation. This deal was definitely a good deal.
Even though Wang Lian is already a level 9 psychic, when converted into cultivation, he is at most at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, and is still far from the eighth or ninth level.
Especially building the foundation is a hurdle, Jingtian is now very clear about the difficulties involved. If this girl Xuehua is willing to put her heart into it, it would be perfect if she can build the foundation directly.
Tong Yue is similar. Even though he has made great progress in hanging out with Xue Hua during this period, there is still a huge gap between them. A level 9 ability user and a level 9 Qi Refining user are completely different things.
"I think it would be better for you to do research after you go back. The exploration here is obviously not over yet." Xie Siyu suddenly interrupted the conversation between Jingtian and Xuehua.
Heilang didn't care about Jingtian and Xuehua's intention to take away the corpses here, but when he heard Xie Siyu's words, his eyes moved obviously.
"Not over yet?"
Jingtian and Xuehua were also stunned at the same time.
"That's right. Don't you feel that the environment here is abnormal? Even if a normal cave would be cooler, it wouldn't be this cold, right?" Xie Siyu said.
"Yes, we actually overlooked this. It seems that the golden eagle corpse may not be the biggest treasure here!" Xuehua's eyes lit up.
Black Wolf opened his mouth to say something, but finally held back.
"Keep researching!"
Jingtian said without hesitation, and then waved his hand to collect all the corpses in the ice room into the space.
The flesh and blood of spiritual beasts or preparatory-level spiritual beasts are good supplements for spiritual beasts.
The corpse of the Yamata-no-Orochi that Jingtian, Adu and others had obtained before had long been eaten by the spirit beasts. After all, if a piece of it was taken by each of the griffin army, it would be a huge number.
“That’s the problem!”
After Jingtian collected all the corpses, Xuehua shouted excitedly.
Jingtian also discovered it.
It turned out that there was an ice cave with a diameter of more than one meter on the ice wall behind the golden eagle.
As soon as the golden eagle's body disappeared, an extremely cold current came out of the cave, causing the temperature of the entire space to drop by several degrees again.
"I see."
The black wolf saw the entrance of the cave, felt the change in temperature, and muttered something after his eyes changed.
"Heilang, can you please explain clearly? You are making people too curious. Why don't you just tell me what you know?"
This time Jingtian couldn't help it. The black wolf was a little weird after arriving here.
"It's nothing actually. This golden eagle obviously chose to die here in order to block the cold current." Black Wolf responded very perfunctorily. Maybe it was the truth, but there were many issues that it obviously didn't want to talk about.
Jingtian was speechless for a while, but he didn't want to force Heilang anymore.
Looking at Xuehua, this girl was able to make Heilang cooperate with her so obediently at the beginning, so why can't she do it again this time?
"It's useless. My method is only effective once. This princess has also paid a price. Otherwise, call Ao Shui down and beat him until he confesses."
Xuehua shrugged and finally a naughty expression appeared on her face.
