Chapter 44 : Mutation
" What's wrong with this bull spirit? It suddenly stopped moving?"
Shen Mie suddenly realized that the ox spirit was not moving, but his gaze was fixed on the lake.
Everyone cast their ultimate skills and attacked the bull spirit crazily.
Suddenly, the ox spirit raised its head and roared loudly. It seemed to have gone crazy again. It turned around and left everyone behind. It quickly rushed towards the ice lake. Under everyone's surprised gazes, it jumped into the ice lake. Other than this mysterious ox spirit, other demon beasts also jumped into the ice lake one after another. They completely ignored them.
The inexplicable change stunned everyone, but someone quickly reacted and shouted," Run! Run now!"
Although they didn't know what the situation was, this was a good thing for them!
As expected, when they started to flee frantically, those demonic beasts ignored them and continued to jump into the ice lake. Some of the demonic beasts scattered and stopped attacking them.
"Let's go, Qian 'er!"
Not only Zhao Qian, Wu Yuxin was also about to be taken away.
Wu Yuxin said anxiously," But, but what about Wu Xuan? He was the one who saved us just now!"
" That's true, but so many demonic beasts have all fallen into the ice lake. Do you think he still has a chance to survive?" Zhao Tianlong sighed. There were quite a number of people who had been struck into the ice lake, and Wu Xuan was only one of them. However, those who had been struck into the lake had basically not climbed up. They were probably already dead.
Even if Wu Xuan did not die, he was still heavily injured. Now that there were so many demonic beasts going down, it was impossible for him to survive. The demonic beasts did not attack them now, but it did not mean that they were not wary of these demonic beasts. If they suddenly attacked, they would die!
" But, but..." Wu Yuxin could not help but cry. If not for her, how could Wu Xuan have been thrown into the water?
Zhao Qian bit her cherry lips as well. Her face was pale. This battle had consumed a lot of her energy. The sword was almost out of strength. She wanted to save him too. Unfortunately, Zhao Tianlong and the others didn't give her a chance.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Tianlong didn't have time to stay here any longer. He pulled the two of them and flew towards the exit. The rest seemed to have been freed and ran frantically along with him. Their faces were twisted with joy. From despair to hope, they were all crazy.
Shen Mie took one last look at the ice lake. Even if there were huge treasures in the ice lake, he didn't dare to go down. There were so many demon beasts below, and he couldn't use his power in the water at all. Would he still survive if he went down?
In addition to this change, he had already failed his duty. The people he had brought with him were basically dead. This time, he might be removed from his position as a priest! However, it was at least better than dying here. When he returned, he had to bring back information to investigate what was going on here!
There were quite a number of Imperial Family's elders, and some of them were powerful. This time, when he returned, he would invite powerful elders to come! A few Void Spirit Stage cultivators would not be able to deal with this Niu Jing. However, he had to face these sects and families that complained about the Imperial Family, especially those like the Myriad Medicine Pavilion. He really had to look them in the eye.
Everyone quickly left. In the blink of an eye, all of them had left this place. The demonic beasts did not stop them. It was completely different from the previous siege!
In the water, in the ice palace.
Wu Xuan had just entered when he felt that the spiritual energy here was relatively abundant. He temporarily meditated here for a while to heal the injuries in his body. After meditating, he suddenly heard a dull knocking sound in his ears. He opened his eyes and gasped in shock. In front of him were dense demonic beasts, all floating outside.
The leader was still the ox spirit, but its red fur had returned to snow-white. The demonic beasts outside all began to attack the barrier outside. They even stared at Wu Xuan with eyes that seemed to eat people, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.
Wu Xuan was shocked earlier, but now he realized that they could not enter. They were all blocked by layers of barriers. They could not enter at all. The extremely fierce ox spirit earlier was very angry and knocked on the barrier. It wanted to rush in and catch Wu Xuan. Unfortunately, no matter how violent it was, the barrier could not even produce a single layer of ripples.
" What problem is this? They can't even enter? How can I enter?" Wu Xuan slowly reached out and easily extended the shield without any pressure.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the demonic beast immediately bit him crazily. Wu Xuan quickly withdrew his hand. The demonic beast's mouth directly collided with the shield, and its teeth were broken.
This magical phenomenon surprised Wu Xuan. It seemed that this layer of barrier was blocking them from entering! If they could enter, they would probably die today. There was a dense mass outside. All of them were demonic beasts. It seemed that all of them had fallen into the ice lake.
After feeling safe, Wu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He continued to meditate cross-legged and began to heal. He did not know how long he meditated. After feeling better, he opened his eyes. He realized that many demonic beasts outside had already left, but most of them were still blocking him. They were staring at him.
This made Wu Xuan smile bitterly. He muttered to himself," It seems that I can't get out. I can only see if there's a way out inside." If I kept waiting here, I would definitely starve to death! I haven't reached the cultivation level that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and live here forever.
With the Body-Strengthening Dew in his storage bag, he could only last for a few months at most. After all, he could still absorb spiritual energy from it to replenish it. However, judging from the appearance of these demonic beasts, it was impossible for them to leave. This was their territory.
Wu Xuan stood up and turned around to walk into the ice palace, leaving behind those demon beasts that kept roaring at him. The result was that the water from the ice lake poured into their mouths.
Wu Xuan could feel the cold air inside the Ice Palace as soon as he stepped through the door. He could feel the cold air at the door. After entering, he felt the cold air inside was even more terrifying! However, he felt that everything was fine. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable.
There was nothing in the ice palace. It was extremely empty. There was obviously no candle, but it was very bright inside, as if it would glow on its own.
" Why is there an ice palace here? Could it be that someone lives inside?"
Wu Xuan walked inside in confusion and realized that there was nothing in this huge ice palace. It was just a straight line. Treasures and whatnot were all nonsense. He did not ask for treasures. He only wanted to escape from this stupid place. He was already satisfied.
In a short while, he arrived in front of a large ice door. He pushed open the ice door without any hesitation. This was the only way, so he could only choose to push open it!
Just as he pushed open the ice door, an angry shout came from inside." After a hundred years, you're finally willing to come!"
