Chapter 156 Arduous Trek (2)
Xin Zhaolun said, “It would be great if I could buy it. I don’t have to work so hard to dig it myself. To useful people, it’s priceless treasures. Those who are useless won’t care at all.”

XinFeng tried his best to learn, but compared to these old fellows who had studied for decades or even hundreds of years, he was too young. He didn’t know much about it, nor had he come into contact with it. It was normal for him not to know the importance of this thing.

“What the hell is this thing … Really … Well, no matter what, if I can collect it, I need to collect some too.”

XinFeng muttered to himself. He was very lucky to be able to accompany a high-grade Adept to gather materials at such a young age. If he didn’t have a sect, he probably wouldn’t be able to arrive here even if he had reached the Nine Rings Adept Body.

Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “Sure, as long as you go, you can collect a portion of it yourself. Mm, you have to give me a portion of it.”

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “I understand. Senior Brother, don’t worry.” He was clear on this point. Even senior apprentice-brother didn’t have any obligation to pay in vain without any return.

The hammer and Wild Axe were both close to the pot. If Mad Eagle hadn’t grabbed their necks with one hand, their heads would have reached into the pot. It was fine. The most unbearable thing was that the two of them kept drooling. This was the reason why Mad Eagle wanted to grab the two of them and drag them backwards.

Jin Daya chuckled. He hadn’t spoken much all this time. At this moment, he said, “Catch them … They’re all food. They won’t be full for the rest of their lives.”

XinFeng took out a lid of the pot and closed it. The fragrance immediately lessened.

The hammer desperately swallowed his saliva and watched as the lid of the pot closed. He couldn’t help but say, “It’s better to open the fever and warm it up.”

Everyone immediately looked at him and said resentfully, “Alright, I know … Don’t look at me, aren’t you hungry …”

Lei Xingfeng said warmly, “Don’t worry, just wait a moment longer, hehe.”

In the wild, especially in the cold weather, eating was the most important thing. If they didn’t want to die, they would try to eat as much as possible. This was an indigenous instinct, and nothing else could replace it. This was also the reason why Hammer and Wild Axe were so excited when they saw the food being cooked. They wished they could immediately reach out to grab the food, even if it wasn’t completely cooked.

“You can eat now!”

Hearing the hammer head cheering, he held a copper basin in his hand and looked at Lei Xingfeng with rapt eyes. Such a big and strong man looked like a pug wagging its tail, both of his eyes shining.

Lei Xingfeng felt a chill run down his spine and said, “Take your bowl and don’t move.” He held a large copper spoon in his hand and filled it with a few spoonfuls of boiling hot chowder. “Go eat it,” he said, filling the big bronze basin with the hammer.

Each person had a pot of vegetables, and the bottom of the pot was seen. XinFeng continued to put in all kinds of ingredients and continued to cook a pot. The seven of them had at least two large pots of stew, otherwise, they would not be able to eat enough.

Everyone was eating hard dough pancakes and snoring. In this kind of weather, eating hot chowder was definitely a kind of super enjoyment. Soon, their stiff bodies became warm, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Lei Xingfeng also ate like crazy. He knew very well that he had to replenish enough food. Moreover, cultivators generally ate a large amount of food. According to his estimates, a meal was at least ten times as large as a meal in his previous life, and sometimes even more.

By the time they finished eating, the sky had already darkened, and the light that was reflected into the ice hall had also dimmed. They could still clearly see each other against the fire in the fire pond.

Lei Xingfeng put away the big pot and added some oil wood. When the flames rose, he put up another pot of water and sat down to start cultivating.

Everyone also sat down to cultivate. However, Hammer Head and Wild Axe arrived at the entrance to guard. The two of them were in charge of guarding.

XinFeng only cultivated a little and was surprised to discover that something was wrong. That was even better than cultivating in Frozen End Castle. It was almost close to cultivating in the vicinity of the thunderstorm area. This made him uncertain and surprised. He tried a few times, but the results were the same. He stopped cultivating and began to ponder.

Feng Ying also stopped cultivating. He opened his eyes and saw Lei Xingfeng in a daze. He couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Lei Xingfeng hesitated for a moment and asked, “Cultivating here … do you feel different?”

Crazy Eagle sighed and said, “Yes, there are differences …”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Is it better to cultivate?”

Crazy Eagle shook his head and said, “On the contrary, the effect of cultivation is far worse than in Frost Horizon Castle.”

Lei Xingfeng was instantly shocked. He said, “Eh, strange, but I feel that the effect of cultivation is good.”

Tiger Addict also opened his eyes. He similarly shook his head and said, “Not good, not good.”

Jin Daya sneered, “It’s very normal. If we go out, the effect will be better. We are in the middle of the big block of ice. How can the effect be good?” It was rare for him to say such a few words.

Xin Zhaolun said, “Cultivating here is only for the sake of recovering slightly. What else can I hope for in the ice cave?”

Although Lei Xingfeng was puzzled, this was a good opportunity. Of course, he would not let it go. He continued to cultivate with his eyes closed, but the others chose to sleep instead.

…

The sky was pale, and he was speechless all night.

After cultivating until midnight, Lei Xingfeng took out a thick beast hide cushion, took out a special beast hide sleeping bag, and slept for a few hours.

Everyone simply drank hot water, ate their own dry rations, and left this rare ice cave.

The hammer opened a big hole and the hammer said, “We’re going out!” This was an ice wall, and it was smashed open by a hammer. The howling sound of a strong wind immediately sounded.

Everyone followed the hammer and walked out. In the ice cave, everyone had already tied their ropes. The heavy snow outside was still violent, and the temperature was even lower than yesterday.

Lei Xingfeng stepped out of the ice cave and felt the bone-piercing wind piercing through his leather robe. Even though he was wearing a barbaric leather armor, he could still feel the bitter cold. He said, “It’s so cold!”

The temperature was extremely low today. Lei Xingfeng couldn’t measure how low the temperature was. However, he now found that he didn’t dare to open his eyes wide. He could only squint his eyes. Even so, when the cold wind came, his eyes were a little stinging. He had no choice but to cover his face with Lun Yinli.

Everyone lowered their heads and tried their best to move forward. This time, XinFeng was still holding a steel shield to block the snowflakes coming towards him.

It was a very hard journey, He took a few more breaks, It wasn’t until dark that he found a place to rest. This time, the resting place was far from the Ice Hall. After barely a night, Lei Xingfeng felt like he was going to freeze into a popsicle. He had to use a shield from time to time to resist the cold until dawn the next day. According to Xin Zhaolun, there was only half a day left before he could reach his destination.

/

It was only in the afternoon that Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, we’ll be there soon … Damn it, every time we come out, we’ll suffer like this. Hold on a bit longer.”

There were large chunks of ice on the road, Lei Xingfeng stumbled all the way here, He was different from the others. Hammerhead and Wild Axe were local natives. They had long been accustomed to this kind of terrain. Everyone else was a true body with more than six rings. Every single one of them could fly. Even if they couldn’t fly high up in the sky, they wouldn’t land when they stepped on the air. Instead, they stepped on the invisible ground and directly stepped over.

XinFeng didn’t have the ability to do so. He stepped on the ground and immediately stepped on it. Therefore, a deep foot and a shallow foot inadvertently dragged down the speed of the entire team. Crazy Hawk wanted to carry him, but he didn’t agree this time. Walking here was too difficult. Even an Eight Ring True Body Daoist wouldn’t be easy, so XinFeng would rather endure hardship on his own.

Soon, the group of seven arrived at the foot of a cliff. Xin Zhaolun raised his hand to signal for everyone to slow down. He began to probe along the cliff.

XinFeng said, “Looks like we’re about to arrive.”

Crazy Eagle nodded and said, “It should be about time.”

Not long after, Xin Zhaolun said, “I found it …”

There was a crack in the cliff. Layers of ice hung over the entire cliff. Even the cracks on the cliff were filled with ice. If one didn’t pay attention, they wouldn’t be able to discover this crack at all.

“Break!” Xin Zhaolun said.

The hammer head and Wild Axe stepped forward together, turning the giant hammer and axe to smash the ice that was hanging in the cracks.

Very quickly, the two of them smashed out a passageway.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Well, I’ve finally found a place to hide. I’m really scared of the wind here.” He wished he could get down to the ground. The cold wind here was unbearable. It stabbed his entire body in pain. He could not remember how many arcs he had used to warm himself up a little.

‘”I’m afraid of the wind here too!” Jin Daya suddenly said from behind.

Xin Zhaolun said, “Hurry up and come in … The wind here, hehe, has a nickname. It’s called the Head Piercing Wind, the Bone Piercing Wind, and also the Killing Wind!”

The middle of the cliff crack was empty, However, there was nowhere to go. Because the cracks below were getting narrower and narrower, they would get stuck. They had to be able to fly or support the cliff with both hands before they could advance. Of course, there was no need for them to be so troublesome. Mad Eagle pulled XinFeng and hung in the air. The hammer and axe were also brought along by Xin Zhaolun and Jin Daya, so they could advance without landing.

In a short while, everyone entered the belly of the mountain. At this time, they were already able to walk.

A ball of flame floated in front of the crowd, illuminating the surroundings brightly. Lei Xingfeng had probably walked for at least several tens of minutes all the way down. From time to time, dripping sounds could be heard from the surroundings. It was the sound of dripping water, and the temperature was gradually rising.

Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “It’s finally here.”

Turning around a corner, a wave of hot air rushed towards him. A faint red light emitted, and a deep rumbling sound came from beside his ears.

XinFeng said, “I, I have a feeling of unease … Uh, it’s so hot!”
