Chapter 735: Beyond the Limit

Extreme heat, then heavy rain, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Under the attack of the cold rain, the extremely hard surface of the hot rock exploded layer by layer. Pieces of stone skin continued to slide from the surface of the rock like the cover of a book. As the rain continued to wash away, there were hidden things hidden deep in the rock.

Some of the crystals were exposed and then washed into the gaps in the rocks by rainwater.

It turns out that this is how the large number of Dharma crystals existing in this area come from. There are many such crystals hidden in these extremely hard rocks.

Under the violent cold and heat, this kind of rock containing Dharma crystals cannot bear it, let alone the human body.

When the temperature dropped rapidly, the body temperatures of Ling Qi and Xin Ming naturally increased. This was a natural conditioned reflex formed over a long time. After the temperature dropped below the freezing point, their body temperatures gradually returned to normal.

But this natural adjustment of the physical body caused their bodies to feel more indescribable weakness.

After confirming that there was no problem with the rainwater diversion, the two monks, who were even pitiful than gophers, huddled up and began to close their eyes and adjust their breaths.

In this environment, the two of them were even able to use the spirit-boosting pill to practice slowly, replenishing their physical strength through this deep state of selflessness.

They won't have long to rest.

After the heavy rain stops, they will start their next run at full speed.

The number of soul-boosting pills they have on them can only sustain five such full-speed runs in the future.

If nothing changes by then, they will die here.

…

The heavy rain continued to hit the rocks, and the sound of the hot rocks exploding disappeared with the rise of a large amount of poisonous gas. The heat on the ground dropped sharply. When the temperature of the raindrops falling from the sky had reached freezing point, it was because of the content inside.

It contains unique adamantine dust and toxins and does not freeze for a while.

When the temperature dropped further and even the falling raindrops gradually turned into various ice crystals, the noisy crackling sound before turned into the sound of various wind chimes.

In these pleasant sounds, Xin Ming and Ling Qi have already entered a state of cultivation in which they forget both things and themselves. The hard-moving true energy in their bodies is trying to maintain their body temperature as much as possible, and at the same time, it is also nourishing their flesh and blood as much as possible.

Shake out the toxins in their bodies as much as possible.

However, what they could not have imagined was that in the dust and mist produced by the crushing of various ice crystals, some strange red lights quietly appeared.

These red lights are dotted in pairs, walking through the dust and mist like fireflies. However, if you can look closer, you will find that they are huge mosquitoes that are two feet long.

These mosquitoes are not living creatures. Their bodies are shining with the luster of fine gold. When they walk through the dust mist, the moment the extremely fine metal dust in the dust mist collides and rubs against their bodies, the surface of their bodies will

There are subtle fluctuations in vitality.

The contact between these fine metal dust and their bodies seems to produce strange power, and then it is sucked into their bodies and becomes their driving force.

The red light emitted from their pupils has no vitality or spirituality at all, and is more like two beams of red rays that are constantly surging.

In just a few dozen breaths, hundreds of these giant metal mosquitoes flew from a distance, and then gathered in Xin Ming and Ling Qi's hiding place. They were quietly suspended in the hole where Xin Ming and Ling Qi covered the entrance.

Above a rock, the red light from their eyes fell on this rock.

They floated quietly, making no sound except for the pleasant sound of the surrounding ice crystals breaking.

They seemed to be staring at the two uninvited guests across the rock and the deep sand and gravel layer. After about dozens of breaths, these giant metal mosquitoes quietly flew away again, and they quickly disappeared into the dust and mist.

Shuttle back and forth, collect some unique crystal stones washed out of the rocks, and then quickly retreat in a certain direction.

That kind of crystal was a unique multi-colored crystal that not only Xin Ming and Ling Qi had never seen before, but also Milo Dojo, which had been in charge of and explored the Cuiyun Cave for thousands of years, had never seen it before.

The ice crystals formed by the poisonous rain continued to fall for a long time, and then disappeared.

The temperature slowly increased, but still remained below freezing for a long time. Eventually, these ice crystals slowly turned into liquid and accumulated in many potholes.

In this desperate situation, it's like an ever-lasting cycle.

When the sound of flowing water sounded, Xin Ming and Ling Qi woke up.

They broke away from the state of cultivation, and then began to calmly perceive their physical condition at this time.

This was a silent understanding. When he was sure that his body was suitable for running wildly again, Xin Ming immediately moved, "Ling Qi, you are behind me."

Ling Qi frowned.

Xin Ming said: "I'm afraid you'll fart in front of me."

Ling Qi said nothing.

Of course he knew that Xin Ming didn't actually mean it.

In such a dead place, who knows what will happen to the first person to emerge from the surface?

Perhaps just an unnoticed wisp of venom can end a person's life.

Xin Ming moved quickly, but he was very careful.

Anyone who can live a long life must be very careful.

The stones covering the entrance of the cave slowly tilted and overturned. After making sure that no water droplets were dripping, Xin Ming used his true energy to open up a large amount of dry soil and stone skin, and then Xin Ming jumped out of it.

"Safety!"

After spitting out two words out of habit, Xin Ming determined the direction and started running wildly, while Ling Qi quickly followed behind without saying a word.

It's a cycle again.

Although both of them hoped to see a different world after running wildly this time, except for the slight upward slope of the landform that fell into their sight, which confirmed their previous judgment, there was nothing in the scenery they saw.

changes.

Before the next wave of heat arrives, they start digging again like tired field mice.

That means they only have four more runs left.

And they found that, perhaps due to the rise of the terrain, rainwater did not erode such places as much as before, which meant that when they dug down, they encountered more hard rocks, which required them to expend more energy.

and true essence.

If it's more like this next time, then they may not end up with four chances to run wild, maybe only three at most.

This is undoubtedly frustrating and even despairing.

But Xin Ming and Ling Qi didn't seem to have such emotions at all.

They didn't even talk to each other. After confirming that the temperature here might be higher, they dug an extra foot deeper before starting to rest again.

Just like last time, when the temperature dropped sharply after the heavy rain fell, and when the raindrops finally condensed into ice crystals and began to fall, those giant metal mosquitoes with strange red eyes appeared again.

They flew from a distance again, then gathered at Xin Ming and Ling Qi's hiding place, and then began to look for the colorful crystal stones, collecting every single crystal stone washed out by the heavy rain, and then disappeared again.

In the crystal mist.

The only difference is that they stayed where Xin Ming and Ling Qi were hiding longer than last time.

They seemed to doubt that these two people were still alive and could stay again.

…

The sweet sound of ice crystals crashing disappeared, and the sound of running water slowly sounded.

The stone pieces covering the entrance of the cave tilted and fell, and the first one to appear on the surface this time was Ling Qi.

"Safety!"

Ling Qi softly uttered two words.

The air he exhaled formed a white mist in front of him, covering his face.

In the next moment, he started running wildly.

The elevation of the terrain quickly exceeded his and Xin Ming's expectations, and the seemingly gentle rocky surface turned into an upward slope.

Neither of them could tell whether this change was good or bad.

If you say it is good, at least the terrain has finally begun to change significantly, but the disadvantage to them is obvious - they need to consume more energy to run along such a slope, and the small vibrations of the ground they step on

, may cause the loose rock strata above to slide, causing a lot of stone skin to spill down along with poisonous water.

When they were forced to stop again, while digging a hole while panting violently, Ling Qi rarely took the initiative to speak out. His voice was as dry as two pieces of stone rubbing against each other: "We only have the last two left.

That’s it.”

Of course Xin Ming understood what he meant. Whether it was physical strength or real energy, they were depleted much faster than initially expected.

If the terrain is still rising rapidly, then both times are probably very optimistic estimates.

But when Xin Ming listened to Ling Qi's words, he said disdainfully: "What do you mean by this? What do you mean there are only the last two times left. Maybe if we rush again, we will have good luck.

And even if our true energy is exhausted after two attempts, we might still be able to find a hole and drill it, and maybe we can persist and try it again."

Ling Qi smiled bitterly.

Of course he knew that if their true energy was exhausted and there was no replenishing elixir to replenish it, in this process of alternating between extreme cold and extreme heat, their bodies would probably exceed their endurance limit and they would fall into death.

It's just that Xin Ming is Xin Ming. Even in the most hopeless moments, he will never bring pessimism or despair to others, but will still only bring him the courage to persevere.

Another cycle begins.

When the crystal mist rose, those giant metal mosquitoes quietly appeared.

The only difference is that this time the red light representing the appearance of these giant metal mosquitoes falls from above.
