On the morning of the second day, the sky was dark.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~" Thunder boomed, and sporadic raindrops fell faintly.
"Qingshan, look at the weather. There will be a heavy rain. Don't go into the mountain and train hard this morning. "Mother Yuan Lan put on her cotton jacket and walked out of the house.
"Mother, it's okay. This little rain is nothing. Okay, I'll go up the mountain first. "Teng Qingshan grabbed the Damascus Steel Spear and walked out.
"Come back early for breakfast." Mother Yuan Lan shouted.
"Got it." After leaving the courtyard, Teng Qingshan quickly left Teng Jia Village and went up the Great Yan Mountain.
… …
"Whew!" "Whew!"
Teng Qingshan's entire body turned into a phantom as he passed through the forest. When he left Teng Jia Village, there were only scattered raindrops falling from the sky. However, after Teng Qingshan entered the Great Yan Mountain, the rain suddenly became violent with the sound of thunder. The sky and the earth were covered in water.
In an instant, Teng Qingshan was drenched like a drowned rat.
"How unlucky." Teng Qingshan frowned.
Being drenched by the rain was a small matter. Moreover, he didn't have anything in his pockets when he came out this morning. Teng Qingshan wasn't afraid of the rain, but … … with this rain, the plan to sneak into the Frost Jade Pool would be a bit troublesome.
"No matter what, I've decided to sneak into the Frost Jade Pool today."
Teng Qingshan quickly passed through the forest and arrived at the Twin Peak Mountain. The mountain wall was like a level road to him. The two halves of the long spear were placed on his back. Teng Qingshan used both his hands and feet to quickly reach the top of the mountain. He then jumped down from the top of the mountain, his hands hitting the rocks along the way to slow down.
"This ice formation is really fast." Teng Qingshan landed on the middle of the mountain, on the empty ground two Zhang away from the Frost Jade Pool. He smiled bitterly as he looked at the Frost Jade Pool.
The surface of the Frost Jade Pool had already condensed into a thick layer of ice.
"This layer of ice is at least thirty centimeters thick. How long has it been? " Teng Qingshan felt very helpless. The water of the Frost Jade Pool was very special. Its density was much higher than ordinary water, and it would not freeze even at extremely low temperatures. And every time it rained, when the rainwater came into contact with the water of the Frost Jade Pool,
The rainwater would quickly freeze!
It had only been raining for a while, but the ice was already one foot and two inches thick.
However, Teng Qingshan also knew that even if the rain did not stop, the ice would only be two feet thick at most.
"My clothes are all wet, so there's no need to take them off when we go down to the pool today." Teng Qingshan threw the Damascus Steel Spear on his back to one side and picked up a large rock from the side. He jumped up and landed firmly on the solid ice. Stepping on the hard ice, Teng Qingshan could still feel a burst of cold air.
Suddenly —
Teng Qingshan stomped his foot!
"Boom!"
It was as if heaven and earth were collapsing. The ice, which was one foot and two inches thick, suddenly cracked and crumbled, scattering in all directions. Many of the broken pieces of ice hit the mountain walls beside them and exploded into smithereens.
"I don't believe that I can't reach the bottom this time." Teng Qingshan carried the large rock that was over a hundred Jin and rushed into the Frost Jade Pool.
The low temperature was enough to freeze an ordinary person to death, but Teng Qingshan was able to easily withstand it wearing only a single layer of clothing.
"Walla ~ ~"
He continued to sink, causing the water in the pool to flow.
"Normally, the sky should be bright by now, but there is a storm today. The sky is dark and gloomy, and visibility in the water is very low. However … … my eyesight is much better than a month ago, and I can see further underwater. "As long as there was a trace of light, Teng Qingshan could use that light to clearly see his surroundings.
Falling!
Continuously falling!
Twenty zhang!
Forty zhang!
Sixty zhang!
… …
"I've come in contact with this extremely low temperature many times, but it still feels too cold. It's uncomfortable." Teng Qingshan carefully observed the objects on the walls of the Frost Jade Pool. There were some objects on the walls in the depths of the Frost Jade Pool. Teng Qingshan could rely on these objects to determine the approximate distance of his descent.
"I should have gone past the foot of the mountain and reached the bottom of the mountain!" Teng Qingshan estimated the depth.
Last time, when he reached this depth, Teng Qingshan could not bear it and used his inner strength to protect his body. But this time, Teng Qingshan only relied on his muscles to resist.
He continued to fall!
"It's really deep. I'm already underground. I've already sunk for three hundred meters. "Teng Qingshan felt extremely cold. At the same time —
"Crack ~ ~"
The hundred Jin rock that he was carrying in his hands actually began to crack.
It was so cold that the rock cracked! How low was this temperature?
"It's so cold." Teng Qingshan had never felt such extreme cold in his previous life. It was as if his strong muscles and skin had no resistance. The extreme cold directly stimulated his bones and even his internal organs. Cold. His entire body was cold. "I have to use my inner strength!"
The violent inner strength madly circulated throughout his body to resist the low temperature.
"I feel much better." Teng Qingshan carefully looked at the pool below. Because it was too deep, even with Teng Qingshan's amazing eyesight, he could barely see three to four meters around him.
"Eh?"
Teng Qingshan carefully looked down. "I'm at the bottom?" The bottom was blurry and there was a faint purple halo. It was this faint purple halo that allowed Teng Qingshan to clearly see a distance of seven to eight Zhang. As he got closer, Teng Qingshan felt that the temperature actually began to rise.
Yes, the originally extremely low temperature actually began to rise.
But when Teng Qingshan's feet landed, he finally confirmed with surprise — this was the bottom of the Frost Jade Pool.
"Eh? The bottom of the Frost Jade Pool is actually heating up? And it is also emitting a purple halo. Strange. " Teng Qingshan was very surprised. He finally knew why the water near the bottom of the pool was heating up. It was because of the strange ore at the bottom of the pool.
He carefully looked around the bottom of the pool.
Because he could see a distance of seven to eight Zhang, Teng Qingshan was able to quickly identify the situation at the bottom of the pool.
"The bottom of the Frost Jade Pool is about ten Zhang wide, and the length … is about twenty Zhang." Teng Qingshan carefully looked to the left because in the entire bottom of the pool, there was only a two to three Zhang wide passageway on the left side of the mountain wall. "So, the water of the Frost Jade Pool flows from this passageway."
Teng Qingshan also noticed that the closer he got to the passageway, the colder the pool water became.
There were no living creatures or plants at the bottom of the pool, only one thing — a strange hot ore. There were many of these ores scattered on the surface of the pool.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan picked up a piece. This kind of ore had an extremely weak purple halo. In the dark conditions at the bottom of the cold pool, this purple halo could be seen, but in the daytime outside, it probably could not be seen clearly.
"To be able to heat up in this extremely cold conditions. And the heat is very high. It should not be an ordinary ore. Take it back and let father examine it. " Teng Qingshan picked up two fist-sized ores and put them into the big pocket on the chest area of his clothes. The pocket could only hold two ores.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan went to the left side and approached the water source passageway of the cold pool.
"Phew, it's really cold. It's pitch black inside, and the visibility is even lower. I don't know what's inside. " Teng Qingshan carefully looked inside the passageway. However, there were no such strange ores in the depths of the passageway. Therefore, it was pitch black. Teng Qingshan could barely see within two Zhang. He did not know what was in the depths of this mysterious underwater passageway.
But in the bottom of Teng Qingshan's heart, he felt a sense of danger …
"There must be a reason for this abnormality! This kind of low temperature and water pressure, my body's endurance is almost at its limit. I've reached the bottom of the lake today. My goal has been achieved. I should go back and let father take a look at this ore. I'll wait for the opportunity to enter this underwater passageway in the future. "Teng Qingshan immediately decided to go back outside.
In the underwater passageway, Teng Qingshan's vision could not reach.
A pair of fist-sized golden pupils stared at Teng Qingshan. It was more than ten Zhang away from Teng Qingshan, but it was obvious that this underwater monster could see Teng Qingshan clearly in such a dark situation.
Silently, this underwater monster began to approach the entrance of the cold pool's underwater passageway. This underwater monster actually did not make a single sound as it moved.
Teng Qingshan, who was standing at the bottom of the lake, threw away the big cracked stone in his hand and floated upwards.
At this moment —
"Chi —"
Discovering that Teng Qingshan was leaving, the underwater monster's speed suddenly increased. Like a bolt of lightning, it rushed out of the underwater passageway in an instant.
"What's that?!"
Such a violent movement, of course, was discovered by Teng Qingshan, who was floating up. He suddenly turned his head, and with this look, he was so shocked that his heart violently twitched and his scalp was about to explode.
Under the faint purple light at the bottom of the lake, Teng Qingshan could clearly see that it was a huge python that was as thick as a water bucket! The huge python's entire body was covered with dense scales that faintly glowed with a purplish-red halo. As for the length of the cold pool python, it was temporarily impossible to determine. However, just the body of the python that came out of the underwater passageway was more than six Zhang long.
In his previous life, it was not that he had never killed huge pythons in the rainforest.
However, he had never seen one with such a huge body and such a thick body.
Moreover … this huge python had rushed out from such a cold area, so it definitely had something extraordinary about it.
"Roar ~ ~" As if a hurricane was about to attack, it let out a deep roar that made one's heart palpitate.
Following this roar, the python at the bottom of the lake suddenly rushed to Teng Qingshan and opened its bloody mouth. The huge python that was as thick as a water bucket opened its bloody mouth that was more than ten Zhang wide, and it swallowed towards Teng Qingshan!
