Many practitioners escaped back to the lush and verdant mountain forest. Their mood was completely different from when they came. If it wasn't because they were separated by a snowy valley from the Snow Jade Dragon and had a certain amount of buffer time to escape, it wouldn't be as simple as just twenty people dying in the sea of snow.
Xiao Chen searched this snowy region for a long time, but he didn't find anything special. After that, he set off towards the depths of the snowy mountain to look for Keke and the three skeletons.
Four hours later, Xiao Chen found their traces.
When he climbed to the top of a snowy mountain, Xiao Chen was dumbstruck. Other than the three skeletons training in the ice cave, he also found a snow lotus as big as a house. And Keke was curled up on top of it, sleeping soundly.
The whole snow lotus was glowing brilliantly, it was circulating slowly like a ripple of water. It was indescribably mystical, it made the spiritual energy here dense, multicolored light lingered around. The whole snow lotus looked like it was carved out of divine jade, it was dazzling under the sunlight.
And Keke was sleeping soundly at the heart of the snow lotus. This made people sigh in admiration, this little critter was really mystical. It could find this kind of spiritual item every time, this was definitely not a coincidence, it must have something to do with its spiritual nature.
This little critter was really at ease, it was not afraid of the wild beasts taking it away, it was really sleeping soundly. It really wondered how it was able to survive on the Dragon Island where monsters roamed freely. Xiao Chen walked over lightly, and used his hand to touch it. As a result, an astonishing thing happened, a ball of gentle radiance actually filled the surface of Keke's body, protecting it inside. "Squeak … …"
The snow-white little critter was actually talking in its sleep, after being touched by Xiao Chen, it turned over and went back to sleep soundly. It didn't wake up at all.
This … … really made Xiao Chen speechless.
Xiao Chen didn't wake it up again. He sat on the snowy peak and began to adjust his breathing. Although he was cold and merciless to his enemies, Xiao Chen had a different attitude towards the people beside him. He pampered this little beast a lot. This time it was all thanks to Keke's rainbow-colored shell, otherwise he might have died under that flying knife.
Lunhui Wang and the rest discovered Xiao Chen's return. The spiritual radiance in his eyes flickered, then as if it was extinguished, he began to meditate quietly.
Just like this, Xiao Chen meditated on the snowy peak until the latter half of the night. only then did he feel refreshed. He had completely recovered to his peak state. He had absorbed the essence of a few dragon eggs, which caused his life essence to be far more vigorous than that of an ordinary person. Otherwise, this fierce battle would have caused great damage to his vitality.
The strong Life Essence was like having two lives. If he encountered an opponent with a similar cultivation level, he could fight to the death with his opponent. In any case, his vitality was abundant, so he could exhaust his opponent to death!
The stars twinkled, and the night sky was like water. Only after midnight did Keke wake up with sleepy eyes. When it saw Xiao Chen, it blinked its big eyes in a daze. Then, it seemed to have thought of something. It extended its little paw and pointed at its round and bulging belly in pain. After that, it pointed at Xiao Chen with dissatisfaction, as if it was silently complaining. Xiao Chen was immediately amused. This little thing definitely wanted to eat the Snow Lotus. Now that it was guarding this Spiritual Herb, it could not eat it. This made it very depressed.
"I don't think I need to call you Little Ferocious Beast anymore. I can just call you Treasure Seeking Beast. You were able to find the Snow Lotus King. You are truly the nemesis of Spiritual Treasures."
Keke seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied. It angrily waved its little paw at Xiao Chen. After that, it flipped its body. It opened the few sparkling and translucent lotus petals and dug out a fist-sized jade-like object. The divine splendor was dazzling, like a star. This was the real Snow Lotus Core. It made Xiao Chen emotionally moved.
Keke was drooling. It wanted to eat it, but it didn't dare to eat it.
"Haha … …"
Xiao Chen was amused and laughed. In the end, he said, "Let me keep it for you first. You can slowly enjoy it when your belly is less bloated. "
Keke looked at him suspiciously. In the end, it hung its head dejectedly and broke the Snow Lotus Core into two. It wanted Xiao Chen to keep one half for it and gave the other half to Xiao Chen. At the same time, it waved its little paw to warn Xiao Chen not to have any ideas about its half.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh, "You Little Ferocious Beast still have some conscience. You didn't forget about me. Don't worry, I will keep it for you. I don't even want half. "
After going to Keke's hometown, Xiao Chen felt that he was very close to this little thing. He could almost keep it by his side.
"Keke, I will tell you how to make your plump belly less bloated now."
Keke's big eyes immediately lit up.
"If you want to do it, you need your treasured tree. Didn't you see the treasured tree fused into my body last time? From today onwards, you need to try fusing the divine sproutling into your belly and let it absorb the excess Sweet Dew of Life. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for you to completely absorb the Sweet Dew of Life. "
Keke's pair of glittering big eyes were perfectly round. After that, it held its plump little belly and shook its head with all its might. That meant that it wouldn't do it even if it was beaten to death. "Squeak! Squeak … …"
It seemed to be saying that it would never plant a tree on its belly.
"It's fine if you don't want to, so much of the Sweet Dew of Life will be absorbed by you, the benefits will be huge. However, you have to endure your craving for a period of time from now on. Don't always think about eating delicious food. "
Keke immediately became listless. It angrily climbed onto the Snow Lotus and continued to sleep.
"Keke, don't just sleep, it's time for you to nourish your treasured tree. Plant your treasured tree on top of the Snow Lotus."
Xiao Chen carried Keke into the ice cave and planted the treasured tree on top of the Snow Lotus. Under the dim light of the night, the snowy peak was flowing with splendor. The palm-sized divine sproutling had a black jade leaf, a white jade leaf, and a jasper leaf on its dragon-like "trunk". All of them immediately emitted a dazzling radiance.
Early in the morning, Xiao Chen and the others left this place. Because when they looked into the distance under the morning glow, they discovered that there seemed to be a dilapidated ancient palace on top of a distant snowy peak.
When they arrived at this place, they discovered that it was not an illusion. There really was a historical remnant here. The dilapidated ancient palace was on the verge of collapse. It was originally a majestic palace, but now only one or two ancient palaces were still standing. However, they might collapse at any time in the snowstorm. They didn't discover anything here. It seemed like it was merely an ancient historical remnant. It was far from being as sinister and terrifying as the sacred mountain.
"With the ancient palace as a marker, let's bury the dragon egg here temporarily. It will be more convenient to search for it in the future."
Xiao Chen wanted to stop absorbing the dragon egg's essence for a while. Yesterday, he had an epiphany while facing the morning glow. It allowed him to have a whole new understanding of the path of cultivation. He wanted to start another round of cultivation. In any case, the dragon egg wouldn't run away. At the same time, he also had a trace of expectation in his heart. Maybe he could really give birth to one or two young Dragon Kings.
Xiao Chen absolutely didn't expect that when the ice and snow were shaken away and the frozen ground was dug up, he actually dug out an ice coffin!
This was really a big discovery! Could this be the burial ground of an ancient god? Thinking like this, he quickly shook the frozen ground in the surroundings and made the ice coffin appear on top of the snowy mountain.
Under the illumination of the sunlight, he could clearly see that there was a complete human skin inside the transparent ice coffin. It was wrinkled. With one look, he could tell that it was left behind by an exceptionally old person.
This was really too sinister!
There was only a piece of old skin and no corpse. This made Xiao Chen feel a little cold. However, it was impossible for him to be afraid because of this. He gently pushed open the lid of the ice coffin and revealed the human skin inside. When he lifted it up, he discovered that other than a crack from the head to the abdomen, the other parts of the human skin were almost intact. There wasn't even the slightest bit of damage. Even the sparse snow-white hair and the grizzled eyelashes were still intact.
For some reason, Xiao Chen felt that this place was abnormally gloomy. Even though the morning sun was shining down, it seemed to have lost its warmth. The sunset seemed to be deathly pale. He couldn't help but think of the cicada's shell. This layer of old skin was like the shell shed by an insect. It seemed to have some similar characteristics.
Xiao Chen didn't stop there. He dug up another piece of frozen ground in the vicinity. Out of his expectation, he actually dug up another ice coffin. It was only two meters away from the first ice coffin. Xiao Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. Could this really be a sinister burial ground? If that was the case, then wouldn't this ruined palace be the underworld?!
The second ice coffin broke out from the ground. There was still an incomparably wrinkled old skin inside. This time, Xiao Chen felt a chill run down his spine. That was because he found out that it was too similar to the two old skins. In the end, when he placed them together, he found out that their skin was actually exactly the same.
The same appearance! Furthermore, after a careful comparison, Xiao Chen felt his scalp go numb. That was because he found out that the birthmarks on the two old skins were exactly the same.
"How can this be? Even if they are twins, they shouldn't be this similar … …"
Xiao Chen felt that this place was even more sinister. A burial ground that made people feel a chill run down their spine! It was impossible for him to stop because of this. He continued to dig the frozen ground and in the end, he dug up the third ice coffin. He took a deep breath and didn't look at the third ice coffin. Instead, he cracked the layer of ice and continued to dig the frozen ground.
However, the ground near the ancient palace had already been dug up by him. He didn't find the fourth ice coffin. And the places where the three ice coffins were dug up were not more than two meters away from each other. They were neatly arranged together. Based on this, it seemed like there were only three ice coffins.
Xiao Chen opened the lid of the third ice coffin. He was completely dumbfounded. The old skin inside the coffin was exactly the same as the previous two. Even the three birthmarks were not the slightest bit different.
How could this be? Xiao Chen felt that this place was extremely cold. Why were there three identical human skins, but no corpse? Could it be that the flesh inside was eaten by something?
He calmed himself down and looked around. Suddenly, his expression turned sluggish. That was because he found an important clue! In the third ice coffin, he found a few drops of blood. It seemed to have dried up not too long ago!
