Seeing that Xiao Mo's injuries had recovered, Zuo Xiutong felt very strange, but did not ask.

She vaguely felt that Xiao Mo had something to hide from her, but she did not think of the Taoist secret technique like the "Wanhuasheng Return Art". After all, that level of secret technique is too rare and rare. There are only three exercises above the Taoist level in the Taoist Palace, all of which are mastered in the hands of those strong people above the human realm. It is impossible for her to guess that Xiao Mo has this level of secret technique.

And everyone has their own secrets. Since Xiao Mo doesn't want to say it, she doesn't ask, just like herself...

In the eyes of others, perhaps she should be a mystery or a taboo, right?

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiutong smiled bitterly, and then she couldn't help but feel shocked again.

She found that before Xiao Mo appeared, her life was in a state of nowhere, but after Xiao Mo appeared, her rare peaceful state of mind might have many turbulences, especially that day, when Xiao Mo suddenly appeared in Qingfeng Courtyard, after a chuckle intervened in the conflict between her and Chen Jingnv and Jing Qianxing.

It was faintly shortened the distance between her and Xiao Mo.

"What should I do next?"

Zuo Xiutong asked, looking around at the Xuan Ice Soul-Devouring Ants around the flames. Although all the dozen mutated Soul-Devouring Flying Ants were killed by them, there were still at least three or four thousand two-star low-level Xuan Ice Soul-Devouring Ants outside the flames, and they had to guard against it.

After all, the flames they released are time-consuming. Once these flames disappear, the soul-devouring ants seize the gap and rush forward, sooner or later they will be divided up by them and gnaw into a dead bone.

"what to do……"

A sharp look flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes, and he looked around the group of Xuanbing Soul-Devouring Ants who had feared but had not retreated. Thinking of the scene where the Soul-Devouring Ant suddenly disappeared and then bit on his neck, he couldn't help but shudder.

This was the case just now. If the flames disappear later, the three or four thousand mysterious ice soul-devouring ants surged up, although they could still deal with them, as long as they were a little careless and could not block them all, they would be unimaginable if dozens of them broke through the defense line and bitten them up in one go.

After a lingering fear, Xiao Mo said without hesitation: "Of course, it is all killed. If we want to continue exploring this underground ice cave, we must first solve these troubles that may arise at any time. Otherwise, if there are any other crises later, we will have to work hard to solve them. These mysterious ice soul-devouring ants are variables."

After hearing this, Zuo Xiutong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right. Since that's the case, I would rather spend some effort to solve them first."

There were many dangers in this ice cave. The two of them did not dare to be careless and immediately took action again. Xiao Mo activated the golden lotus technique, and Zuo Xiutong threw out a small red bottle again, and a large amount of black liquid was sprinkled out. As long as a little spark was stained, a raging fire was instantly ignited, burning the entire ice cave red.

After a while, all the Xuanbing Soul-Devouring Ants that were still in place were finally attacked by Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong, and burned into a pile of ashes. A pungent burnt smell came from the entire cave, and Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong, and they were almost exhausted.

Xiao Mo waved his hand and two small light green bottles appeared in his palm. He threw one of them to Zuo Xiutong: "This is Qingmu Qi Recovery Pill, a second-grade medium-sized pill. Take a few pills and immediately recover your heart energy to prevent other crises from occurring."

"good."

Zuo Xiutong did not refuse, took it, opened it immediately, poured out three pieces of Qingmu Qi Recovery Pill, put it in her mouth, sat cross-legged, and restored the energy consumed by the battle.

Xiao Mo also opened the bottle in his hand, poured out two pills, swallowed them in his mouth, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

After a moment, a blue mist rose on Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong. They opened their eyes at the same time. The energy consumed in their bodies had recovered by more than 80%. The rest would automatically recover in a while, so there was no need to be so anxious immediately.

The two looked around and saw that the ground was covered with a large number of corpses of the black ice soul-devouring ants, most of which had been burned to black ashes, but half were still seriously injured and not dead. They were still crawling slowly on the ground. The two stepped forward and killed them one by one.

Except for the fact that a small number of people who were afraid and retreated when the fire broke out before, there was no doubt that the group of Xuanbing Soul-Devouring Ants that had moved in at some time and occupied this ice cave was mostly extinct by Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong.

However, although the Xuanbing Soul-Devouring Ants were destroyed, Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong were even more unwilling to be careless. If there was such a terrifying group of ferocious beasts outside the ice cave, then what danger was waiting for them in the depths of the cave?

"Let's go!"

Zuo Xiutong frowned, reached out to cover her mouth and nose, and said in disgust.

Xiao Mo realized that the two of them had burned the ant colony just now, but the breath in the cave was blocked, and the smell was really bad. They were fighting just now and didn't care much, but at this moment they felt a nausea coming.

"Walk!"

The two of them rushed forward side by side, quickly passing through three holes in a row, and the smell around them became fainter, while the color of the surrounding hole walls became darker.

As they walked, suddenly, their faces changed at the same time and they stopped.

In front of the two, the terrain of the cave slid sharply, and a huge ferocious beast corpse was lying there, with flesh and blood already gnawing, leaving only a white and dry bone.

"It's the two-star high-level ferocious beast Cold Ice Kuiu..."

Next, the two kept walking forward, and more and more white dead bones appeared next to the passage. In addition to the two-star high-level ice Kui Niu, there were two-star high-level snow scorpion, two-star extreme ice flame bear, two-star extreme mutant Xuan*jiao...

Countless white bones piled up into a channel of bones. The more you go to the bottom, the more bloody the smell becomes. It seems that as the passage goes down, the ferocious beasts below are gnawed off later, so there is still a residual smell of blood.

"What kind of existence is doing? It's so terrifying. I'm afraid there are at least hundreds of these ferocious beasts? Why are they all gathered in this ice cave but were killed by all those who don't know what they don't know?"

Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong looked at each other and saw the fear in the other person's eyes, but no one wanted to retreat. Instead, they accelerated their pace and continued to walk downwards.

Sure enough, the more you go down, the more complete the bones of the ferocious beasts next to the passage are. Some of them even have residual pieces of meat on them. The red and white looks make people feel sick, and the grades appearing are getting higher and higher.

Except for the three stars, the other two-star high-level and two-star extreme ice-type beasts were almost lying all over the ground. Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong seemed to have looked at the corpses of the ice-type beasts that were so high-level to the three-star low-level.

“There…”

Finally, the two passed through this long bone passage and came to a very large underground cave. The ice in this cave actually showed a faint purple color, and in the center of the cave, there was a bright lake.

In the center of the lake, a strange beast that looked like a crocodile was lying there, but next to it, there was a raised soil, not big, just one foot square. On the soil, three black and blue grasses were triangular, growing there, and the cold air was surging around it, and it seemed to be the center of all the cold air in the entire ice cave.

"That's it?"

Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong couldn't help but stop and dared not approach immediately. Looking at the strange beast and the three black and blue grasses, an incredible look appeared in their eyes.

"Three-star low-level mutant beasts, cold crocodile, and yellow-level low-level, black ice water plants?"

Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong couldn't help but sucked in a cold air, and finally understood the reason why the underground ice cave appeared. It turned out that there were three yellow-level ice-attribute spiritual herbs growing here. Because it needed a very cold environment, it sucked a lot of cold air by itself and transformed it into a severe ice cave.

The surrounding climate is also affected by it and becomes extremely cold.

The yellow-level spiritual herbs correspond to the existence of the Qiwu Realm. Theoretically, as long as no one disturbs them, when they approach maturity, they will affect the environment of the heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of feet, and even the climate and soil. However, it is very rare that they can change the surrounding environment for dozens of miles. Generally, they need to reach the Qing-level spiritual herbs to achieve it.

But these three black ice black aquatic plants definitely cannot reach the green level, so it is obviously not ordinary. These three black aquatic plants are all rare mutant spirit herbs. It is precisely because of their mutation that they produce such a strong cold air and have a far-reaching impact.

Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong's eyes flashed, showing a look of joy, and there was a hint of irresistible fanaticism in their eyes.

For alchemists, what is happier than discovering a high-grade rare mutant spiritual herb? In addition to refining high-grade special elixirs, there is only this. Some obsessed alchemists can even sacrifice their lives to collect some rare mutant spiritual herbs.

These three black ice black water plants are the top-level rare grass-changing spirit grass that some alchemists are willing to risk their lives to pick at all costs.

But for Xiao Mo, their value is not only their rare mutation, but also its attributes.

Ice system!

What attributes does Xiao Mo practice? Ice system...

However, his "Ice Po Heart Sutra" has not made any progress for a long time after reaching great success. So far, he has only barely reached the middle stage of great success, and is still 108,000 miles away from the late stage of great success.

To be honest, if there is no large amount of high-grade cold energy absorption, and with Xiao Mo's two orifices qualifications, then the cultivation speed is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary. In less than two or three years, you will never want to cultivate the Ice Po Heart Sutra to perfection, let alone the realm of transformation.

This is true for the best-quality virtual secrets. When he starts practicing "Xuanming True Kung", it is even more conceivable how slow the speed will be.

But if he could get these three black ice water plants...

There is no doubt that as long as Xiao Mo can absorb the pure cold air of one of the black ice water plants, his Ice Soul Heart Sutra can break through to perfection, and all three plants are absorbed, and there is even a very small probability that it will push it to the supreme realm of heaven and man!

However, although the treasure was ahead, Xiao Mo did not rush forward immediately. He was not blinded by the interests in front of him. Next to the three black ice water plants, there was still a terrifying enemy, Han* crocodile.

A three-star low-level mutant beast is equivalent to a terrifying existence in the middle stage of the Qiwu Realm among human cultivators!

If Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong rushed forward rashly, not only could he not get the black ice water plants, but he would probably have become another meal of this cold crocodile like the dead bones that appeared along the way.

Moreover, in Xiao Mo's heart, when the surprise caused by the discovery of the three black ice water plants and the cold crocodile receded, another question arose.

If the cold air in this ice cave was caused by the evolution of three black black aquatic plants, it is understandable that after all, reaching the level of yellow-level spiritual herbs can affect the surrounding climate environment in a small way.

However, if we say that so many mutant beasts that have appeared along the way have gathered and even mutated because of this, Xiao Mo would not believe it at all.

Although the black ice black water plants are precious, they do not have the ability to mutate the ferocious beasts. The most important thing is... they are obviously growing here for a long time. With such a cold crocodile guarding them, the other ferocious beasts have no chance to get involved.

What exactly is it that caused them to mutate, or even caused these three black ice black aquatic plants to mutate?

What other secrets does Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong have never known in this cold ice cave?
