Chapter 168 Terrifying Extreme Cold (2)
XinFeng nodded and said, “En, alright, hehe, three ancient seal rings will be enough. Save it for me.” As he spoke, he handed Mad Eagle an ancient seal ring, then handed it to Tiger Addict and said, “It’s best to seize this opportunity as soon as possible. If it’s not enough, tell me … Haha, I still have more.”
Jin Daya knew about the Ancient Seal Ring, This thing was much stronger than the seal rings condensed by Lord. After thousands of years of storage, the ancient seal rings contained extremely pure sealing power. He had long despaired of advancing and relied on the seal rings to prolong his life. The effect of the ancient seal rings was several times stronger than the seal rings, and the effect of prolonging his life was even stronger. However, very few people were willing to take them out to extend their lives.
Lei Xingfeng looked at Jin Daya with a hesitant expression. How could he not know what he was thinking? He said, “Uncle Jin, here’s one for you … Try the effect.”
Jin Daya was overjoyed. This thing was definitely a treasure at the crucial moment. He could still find the seal ring, but he had never even seen the ancient seal ring before. He had only heard of it and thanked him repeatedly.
XinFeng said indifferently, “Uncle Jin, we will be a family in the future. There’s no need to be so polite.”
This was the first time Jin Daya felt something different. He was a little touched.
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “Ah Feng, I’m too embarrassed to ask for it. Switch with me. En, how about five for one? I’ll use five sealing rings to exchange for an ancient sealing ring.”
XinFeng took out two pills and said, “Let’s not talk about exchanging them. I’ll give you two pills.”
Miao Ling poked her head out of the pile of fur and said, “Junior Brother … I want it too!”
Lei Xingfeng was shocked and said, “Eighth Senior Sister, why are you here?” He didn’t see Miao Ling at all. This guy was afraid of the cold, so he hid in the middle of a large pile of fur when he entered the room. It would be slightly warmer. Hearing the ancient seal ring and Sister Hong pinching her repeatedly, he naturally understood what was going on and stretched out his head to ask for it.
Lei Xingfeng wasn’t stingy either. He said, “Alright, I’ll give you two too. Have you got any more … I didn’t collect much back then.” He didn’t dare to give it away. It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to part with it, but because he had a bunch of subordinates who needed it. When the time came, his subordinates would have to advance, but they didn’t have enough sealing rings. That would be troublesome.
Miao Ling said happily, “Two! Good! Good!” She thought that it would be good if she could get one. Sister Hong also had a smile on her face. She was Miao Ling’s Great Guard and managed a group of subordinates. With such a good item, it could be of great use at a critical moment.
At this time, it was not suitable to refine the Lightning Seal, nor was it suitable for Lei Xingfeng to cultivate. Therefore, he set up a large copper pot and began to cook again.
Every charcoal brazier had a big bronze pot for boiling. With water and meat on it, the entire room was instantly enveloped in steam. Lei Xingfeng said, “Cover the pot. If you boil it again, you won’t be able to see anyone.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “No, we need to insert a tube into the vent, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to survive tomorrow.”
The so-called vent was to leave a few curved holes in the ice wall, allowing the air outside to flow in to avoid oxygen deficiency. If there was too much water vapor in the room, the vent would easily freeze and plug up. Therefore, it was necessary to insert a metal pipe. At that time, it would be fine as long as the metal pipe was replaced.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Open a few more vents.”
So many people hid in the same room and lit so many charcoal braziers. They needed a lot of oxygen. If it wasn’t good, they would be in danger. They shouldn’t be frozen to death, but suffocated to death. This kind of thing should be guarded against as soon as possible.
The next day, the extreme cold finally arrived.
XinFeng finally saw what the extreme cold weather was like in Frozen Horizon Fort. Even houses made of ice were cracking in the extreme cold weather, as if they were about to shatter. XinFeng was frightened to hear this. He didn’t know which crack the white mist came from, and even his fur could freeze like steel.
Under the attack of the white mist, a basin of charcoal flames was instantly extinguished with a chi sound.
Jin Daya was so frightened that he raised his hand and threw a ball of flames into the oilwood. Instantly, the flames rose up and dispersed the white mist.
Lei Xingfeng pointed at the corner and said, “Over there!” The white mist floated out from the corner of the wall.
The hammer head picked up a beast skin pad and threw it over. When it came into contact with the white mist in the air, the soft beast skin pad made a hard collision sound. Hearing this, everyone’s scalps went numb. It was already as cold as stone. If a person came into contact with it, they would lose consciousness in an instant.
All the charcoal fire basins were erected with oilwood, and the flames began to rise, finally dispelling the white mist that floated in.
XinFeng said with lingering fear, “This thing … Why is it so terrifying?”
Jin Daya said, “Otherwise, this place would have long been packed with people. Other than True Monarchs, even us Nine Ring Daoists would have to dodge this extremely cold weather.”
XinFeng asked curiously, “Has Daoist Nine Rings ever frozen to death?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Yes, why not? Furthermore, many of them have frozen to death.”
Crazy Eagle said, “Those fellows are too confident and don’t listen to advice. If they die, they will die. Every year, there are a few idiots who think that they can definitely block it with their own cultivation. Haha, even before they die, they don’t believe that anything will happen.”
XinFeng said, “Could it be that he froze to death in his room?”
Jin Daya said, “That’s right. We weren’t fully prepared. The walls of the room cracked. You can see how powerful this white mist is, right? Haha, there’s no way to hide. Then we’ll have to die.”
XinFeng couldn’t help but be shocked. Daoist Nine Rings was frozen to death. It was simply inconceivable.
Xin Zhaolun said, “There are some cracks that can be plugged with animal skin. Some cracks need to be filled with water. This needs to be prepared beforehand.”
Suddenly, Shi Hu’s entire body let out a crackling sound. Xin Zhaolun said, “Not bad, the tiger has advanced!”
Immediately after Miao Ling advanced, Xiao Diya advanced. Feng Ying smiled bitterly and said, “Forget it, I’ll cultivate.” He was always worried about Lei Xingfeng, so he didn’t cultivate in time.
Jin Daya said, “You cultivate, I will protect you.”
Sister Hong was still reminding Miao Ling, “Don’t slack off. Continue cultivating and consolidate. Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t be in danger.”
Miao Ling replied like a kitten. Actually, she was extremely cold. However, the speed of her cultivation was something she had never seen before in her life. It was too fast. Her cultivation was like boiling water. She had only cultivated for less than half a day and had already advanced.
Lei Xingfeng didn’t dare to cultivate. He understood that as long as he cultivated, he could advance to the next level almost immediately. However, he hadn’t refined Lei Yin yet. How would he be willing to advance? Therefore, his attention was focused on the charcoal fire basin. There were also sounds of cracking bars everywhere. The ice could freeze and crack. The temperature was frighteningly low.
Kim Dae-ah and Xin Zhao-lun both held animal skin pads in their hands. Prepare to plug the leak at any time, Hammer and Wild Axe were also a little nervous. They knew better than the others how terrifying the extreme cold weather was. According to their native customs, the extreme cold weather would never stay on the ground. Basically, they had to go down to the ground to hide. However, the two of them had already missed it. They had no time to arrive at the settlement of their clansmen, so they could only follow Xin Zhaolun.
Apart from the few people who were still cultivating, Lei Xingfeng, Xin Zhaolun, Jin Daya, Hammer Head, Wild Axe, and finally Sister Hong, there were a total of six people who were on alert. They couldn’t sleep, so they had to keep the charcoal fire basin burning. They absolutely couldn’t let the charcoal fire basin go out. In addition, they had to detect the crack in the ice wall in time and immediately fix the leak.
In addition, XinFeng had to constantly cook food to fill everyone’s stomachs. This was also very important.
They sat idle and chatted.
The hammer held a large bowl in its hand. It was filled with a bowl of hot thick broth. As it drank it, it spat out a mouthful of foam as it said, “I’ve seen the worst extreme cold weather in my life. That time we were annihilated several clans, all of them frozen to death. Not a single one of us escaped. What a tragedy.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Impossible. You all live underground. How could so many people freeze to death in one go?”
The hammer said, “Really, I won’t lie to you!”
Lei Xingfeng said, “It’s underground, how is that possible …”
The hammer took a large mouthful of soup and inserted a large piece of meat into it. After chewing for a long time, he said, “What is impossible? When the air is frozen into liquid and rushes directly into the ground, anything is possible.”
Lei Xingfeng was stunned and said, “Ah? Air liquefaction … damn it.” “Is this liquid nitrogen? Below absolute zero?” He thought to himself.
Apparently, Xin Zhaolun had heard of it before, “I know, At that time, throughout Frost Horizon Castle, Those who survive, “I heard that a True Monarch almost froze to death. This fellow escaped quickly and forcefully opened the secret door before escaping. However, he was also seriously injured. Hammer head, this kind of situation was extremely rare. If he encountered it, it was bad luck and had nothing to do with strength. No matter how well prepared he was, he could only resign himself to fate in such a terrifying climate.”
XinFeng shook his head and said, “This is too scary. I hope this weather doesn’t happen often.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Often appearances? A single appearance would cause great damage to the Yuan Qi here. At least a few decades ago, not many people came. They were all frightened.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “When did it happen?”
Hammerhead smiled and said, “It’s fine. It happened when I was a child. It’s been 70 to 80 years. In recent years, the extreme cold weather here has become much better and the danger is small. This is also the reason why I dare to come out. Otherwise … before the extreme cold weather arrives, we would have hid a few months ago.”
XinFeng asked, “Senior Brother, how many things do you need to prepare to advance this time?”
Xin Zhaolun sighed and said, “There are so many of them that you can’t believe it. Hmm, Feng, you’d better start collecting all kinds of materials from now on. Don’t be like me. It’s too tiring to start preparing before it comes to an end. It’s too tiring, too hard to work, and it’s thankless.”
XinFeng said, “What do I need to prepare?”
“You can ask your master for the Star Python Record,” Xin Zhaolun said. “However, everyone has different preparations, different personal attributes, and different materials.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, there are some common materials” Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a loud cracking sound, causing everyone to lose their color in shock.
