Rumble!
Qin Fen immediately burned a mouthful of blood essence and forced his True Yuan to release the Heavenly Fire Spirit Sunflower.
The layer of ice quickly melted, and in the end, several balls of fire rushed out. When they enveloped the tens of thousands of Ice Spirit Worms, the two seemed to merge into one, forming an even fiercer fire in the air.
Violent explosions rang out, like the sparks from the collision of ice and boiling water.
A large number of Ice Spirit Worms fell to the ground, but they were not completely dead. They struggled and crawled on the ground, like a slowly spreading fire.
Qin Fen did not have the time to care about the Ice Spirit Worms. He immediately used the Heavenly Fire to melt the ice on Hong Chen Wu's body. Hong Chen Wu panicked, obviously frightened by the Ice Spirit Worms.
"Senior Qin, what is this thing?"
Qin Fen pulled Hong Chen Wu and said, "The 58th ranked Ice Spirit Worm on the Divine Continent."
"Ice Spirit Worm? A type of Heaven and Earth Spirit Worm? "Hong Chen Wu was shocked.
"The Ice Spirit Worms themselves are not this strong, but there is a flame on their antennae. I suspect that is the Ice Heart Flame," Qin Fen explained.
Hong Chen Wu's eyes lit up when she heard the Ice Heart Flame. "Is there really an Ice Heart Flame here? My father's illness can finally be cured … "
As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Chen Wu's expression changed as if she thought of something. "No, Senior Qin! There shouldn't be an Ice Heart Flame here. I heard from the elders in the clan that the Ice Heart Flame is a type of Yin Flame. The flame is cold, and this river valley is hot and humid … Moreover, why would those worms have an Ice Heart Flame on them? "
Hong Chen Wu's doubts were also Qin Fen's doubts. Qin Fen did not believe that there was an Ice Heart Flame in this underground river, but he was sure that the flame on the Ice Spirit Worms was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame because he was very familiar with the aura of a Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame.
The previous wave of attack from the Spirit Sunflower temporarily blocked the Ice Spirit Worms, but Qin Fen soon felt a strong chill coming from behind him. When he used his divine sense to check, he was shocked. There was a large blue flame floating in the void behind him, and the Ice Spirit Worms were crazily swarming towards him. Their numbers were increasing.
"This is bad, Senior Qin. There are countless Ice Spirit Bugs hiding in this river. What should we do?" Hong Chen Wu had also noticed the situation.
Just as she finished speaking, a giant direwolf jumped out of nowhere and blocked the path in front of them, howling with its bloody mouth wide open.
This time, the two of them fell into a situation where there were wolves ahead and tigers behind. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Hong Chen Wu frowned, and her heart was in turmoil. At this moment, she even regretted entering the ninth layer of the Domain of Snow to search for the Ice Heart Flame. She had dragged Qin Fen down with her.
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she felt her body suddenly become light. She was in Qin Feng's arms. The flying sword under Qin Fen's feet sped forward, completely ignoring the Direwolf in front of him. When he was about to get close, he slashed out with his sword. A purple light flashed, like the afterglow of a wild grassland.
Rumble!
When the saber Qi struck the Icy Plains Wolf's body, a series of explosions rang out.
This was a fully matured seventh-rank spirit beast. The aura coming from its body was comparable to that of a Body Condensation Stage cultivator. Qin Fen's slash only temporarily stopped its movement and didn't cause too much damage.
When the seventh-rank Icy Plains Wolf was struck, Qin Fen flew past like a shooting star with Hong Chen Wu in his arms. Although he wasn't afraid of the seventh-rank spirit beast, he was a bit wary of the Ice Spirit Bugs chasing after them.
Crack, crack!
A series of cracking sounds came from behind them, as if something was cracking.
Qin Fen and Hong Chen Wu curiously used their divine sense to investigate, and they were instantly shocked by what they saw.
The sky full of Ice Spirit Bugs swarmed toward the seventh-rank Icy Plains Wolf's body. The tall and mighty wolf was instantly frozen in the air, and it even maintained its pouncing posture.
The cracking sound came from the body of the Icy Plains Wolf. After its body was frozen into an ice sculpture, it began to crack in just a few seconds. Finally, it turned into pieces of ice that scattered all over the ground.
"Ah … Senior Qin, let's run!"
Hong Chen Wu was completely shocked by this scene. That was a seventh-rank spirit beast comparable to a Body Condensation Stage cultivator, but it was instantly swallowed by those Ice Spirit Bugs. She couldn't help but think of the scene where she met the two Cauldron Filling State cultivators. Because they were too far away at the time, and because she was focused on escaping, she didn't pay too much attention to how those two died.
But after seeing what happened to the Icy Plains Wolf up close, Hong Chen Wu immediately understood.
"Those Ice Spirit Bugs are too fast. There's no point in just thinking about escaping. We need to find a way to fight back."
Qin Fen was also full of shock. The Ice Spirit Bugs in this river were too terrifying. They could kill a Cauldron Filling State cultivator in an instant.
Hong Chen Wu couldn't think of a way to deal with the Ice Spirit Bugs no matter how hard she thought. Qin Fen had a trump card, the Hunting Pincer, but after seeing the Ice Spirit Bugs' powerful freezing abilities, he didn't dare to release the Hunting Pincer. What if it instantly froze to death?
However, there was a huge gap between his thoughts and reality. After the Ice Spirit Bugs swallowed the Icy Plains Wolf, they once again closed in on Qin Fen and Hong Chen Wu. Even though Qin Fen had some misgivings, he had to release the Hunting Pincer to save the situation.
Ever since it swallowed Zhang Sanhe's Nascent Soul, the Hunting Pincer had become a first-rank star beast. Its body hadn't changed much, but its skin had turned from golden to purplish black. There seemed to be a luminous pearl hidden in its stomach, emitting a faint light. That pearl was the beast core formed after it leveled up.
When the Hunting Pincer appeared, it instantly became extremely excited. It opened its mouth wide and rushed into the swarm of Spirit Bugs behind it.
Hong Chen Wu was immediately stunned by the scene behind her.
The Hunting Pincer floated in the swarm of Ice Spirit Bugs fearlessly. Its mouth was like a powerful vacuum cleaner, sucking in tens of thousands of Spirit Bugs into its stomach.
"Senior Qin! What is this? Aren't they afraid of being frozen? "Hong Chen Wu cried out in shock.
Even Qin Fen was shocked by the Hunting Pincer's strength. He realized that his previous worries were unnecessary. He didn't explain the origin of the Hunting Pincer to Hong Chen Wu.
After a while, the remaining Ice Spirit Bugs realized the power of the Hunting Pincer and fled.
The Hunting Pincer didn't feel full yet. It planned to chase after them, but it was stopped by Qin Fen in time. If this little guy ran far away and other Ice Spirit Bugs flew out from the crevices in the mountain, Qin Fen and Hong Chen Wu would be finished.
Ah-Choo!
When the Hunting Pincer flew back to Qin Fen's shoulder, it sneezed, and its body emitted waves of cold air.
That sneeze spat out hundreds of Ice Spirit Bugs that hadn't been digested. Hong Chen Wu panicked, but in the next second, the Hunting Pincer opened its mouth and swallowed all the Spirit Bugs back into its stomach. The scene made people speechless.
Qin Fen's heart finally calmed down a little. He really thought that this little guy was so powerful that it could defy the natural order. It seemed like it was also an existence of flesh and blood. At the same time, Qin Fen once again sighed at the power of the Ice Spirit Bugs. Or rather, the power of the wisp of flame on the Ice Spirit Bugs' antennae. It actually made the Hunting Pincer shiver in the cold.
Two people and one beast slightly adjusted their conditions, and then continued on their way.
Qin Fen kept moving upstream along the river. He wanted to find a source of water because the source of a river would usually grow precious spirit herbs.
Because of the Hunting Pincer's appearance, they didn't encounter any more Ice Spirit Bugs along the way. After walking for a whole day and night, Qin Fen and Hong Chen Wu found that the river had doubled in width, and the water in the river had increased a lot.
"Senior Qin, do you feel that the temperature is constantly rising? I feel like we're no longer in the Nine Heavens Snow Region," Hong Chen Wu said.
Qin Fen nodded. He found that the environment became more suitable as they walked upstream. There were many low-level spirit herbs growing in the crevices in the mountain rocks, and even a small number of level five and six spirit herbs.
The environment here was completely different from the harsh environment in the Nine Heavens Snow Region. No one would associate the two places together. Now that they were in a comfortable environment, Qin Fen could finally calm down and think about some things. He suddenly realized that the environment in the Nine Heavens Snow Region was very similar to the Extreme Frost City in the Divine Great Land.
When Qin Fen went to the Divine Great Land to find Xu Ruo Rou and the other women, he found out that the three women went to Poison Sun City. He searched through dozens of secret realms in Poison Sun City and finally subdued the Purple Dusk Immortal Fire in the legendary Land of Heavenly Fire, which was now known as the Purple Flame … Then, he fell into the Extreme Frost City and took away a thousand-year-old ice crystal, which he named Suffocation.
The environment in the Nine Heavens Snow Region was very similar to the snow source of Extreme Frost City. This reminded Qin Fen of the relationship between Poison Sun City and the Purple Cloud Valley Secret Realm.
Previously, when he found the second Violet Flame in the Violet Cloud Valley Secret Domain, he knew that Poison Sun City had returned to the Divine Continent after the plane fusion five years ago. Could Extreme Ice City have also merged with the Nine Heavens Snow Domain?
If things were as Qin Fen guessed, there were many things that he didn't understand.
Extreme Frost City and Poison Sun City were originally in the Divine Great Land. Why did one go to the North Sand Continent and the other appear in the West Sea Continent after merging with the Divine World?
Seeing that Qin Fen didn't respond after a long time, Hong Chen Wu asked, "Senior Qin, is there something wrong?"
Qin Fen came to his senses. He felt like he was in Mount Lu but didn't know the true face of Mount Lu. So, he explained the problem to Hong Chen Wu. Maybe an outsider could see more clearly.
"Miss Hong, why do you think the two realms were originally in the same place? Why are they separated by two continents after changing planes?"
Hong Chen Wu didn't know the details of the matter, so she was confused. "Senior Qin, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"One secret realm is in the North Sand Continent, and the other is in the West Sea Continent. They were originally on the same land, so why are they separated by such a long distance?" Qin Fen said after pondering for a while.
Hong Chen Wu's big eyes that were not covered by the veil turned around. She suddenly said, "Maybe the distance between the two secret realms is not far."
Qin Fen shook his head. "How can it not be far? The distance between the North Sand Continent and the West Sea Continent is millions of miles."
Hong Chen Wu didn't agree with him. She shook her head and said, "Senior Qin, you might have been restricted by common sense. Who says that the North Sand Continent and the West Sea Continent are millions of miles apart? There might be a secret passage that no one knows about."
