Chapter 26 Demonic Snow Lotus
Chapter 26 Demonic Snow Lotus
He looked at Shirley Yang with a strange expression: "You said, this was sent to you by your father?"
Shirley Yang nodded.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Xu Feng hesitated for a moment and finally decided not to tell her.
At least not tell her now.
After we find the Jingjue Ancient City, we will tell her that this mask might have been brought out from the Yunnan Worm Valley.
Her father might be in the Yunnan Worm Valley.
"I may know the origin of this mask, but I need some time to verify it."
Xu Feng spoke vaguely.
Shirley Yang stared into his eyes: "You only looked at it for a short while, and you know its origin?"
Xu Feng nodded.
Hao Aiguo laughed: "We who study archaeology can be considered semi-antiquity experts. When we study the origin of an antique, we need to comprehensively consider many aspects, such as its appearance, craftsmanship, material, classics, origin, age, etc."
"I've never heard of someone like you who can tell someone's origins at a glance."
Xu Feng frowned and was about to say something.
Professor Hao's lifelong enemy, Fatty Wang, spoke first: "Professor, you really just prescribe medicine according to the old prescription. Your methods of identifying antiques are outdated, do you know that?"
"Our young Master Xu, if you mention it in Panjiayuan, who dares not to say he is submissive?"
"Don't even mention antiques, even if they are divine objects..."
Before he could finish his words, he was bumped by Lao Hu and interrupted.
Old Hu scolded, "Fatty, be polite to Professor Hao. He is a professor after all. He has read more books than you have eaten rice."
The fat man came to his senses and realized that he almost said something stupid again.
Although the divine objects are not a secret, only a few people know about their existence.
Everyone spontaneously protects the secret of the sacred object.
After all, if the secret of the divine object became known to everyone, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.
The fat man laughed twice: "Okay, I understand."
It's just poor acting from both of them.
It had long been seen through by the cunning Professor Chen and Shirley Yang.
They looked at them both meaningfully.
Finally, he looked at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng returned the mask to Shirley Yang: "When we return from Jingjue Ancient City, I will tell you the secret of the mask."
"it is good!"
Shirley Yang put away the mask: "I will remember what you said."
Xu Feng looked towards the cave: "Since your father's last satellite location was here, let's go in and take a look."
After a little preparation, everyone set off immediately.
Been gone for a long time.
There is a fork in the road ahead.
Left and right.
Two ways.
Both roads show signs of artificial repair.
After discussing, Xu Feng, Lao Hu, and Shirley Yang decided to go to the left.
while walking.
The fat man suddenly put away his clothes and asked: "Do you feel that it is getting colder?"
Ye Yixin smiled and said, "Fat Brother, we are on the Kunlun Glacier, of course it will be cold."
"no!"
The fat man shook his head: "I mean, it's getting colder and colder."
Old Hu frowned and said to Xu Feng, "Young Master Xu, Fatty is weak and afraid of cold. He has a very keen sense of hot and cold temperatures. Since he said it's getting colder, the temperature around him must be getting lower and lower."
"Then why can't we feel it?"
Chu Jian said beside him.
Old Hu glanced at him and said, "That's because we've been walking all the time. I just calculated that we've walked about three or four kilometers. After walking for so long, let alone being cold, I guess you and Satipeng are both feeling hot, right?"
Chu Jian and Satipeng looked at each other and laughed.
Xu Feng said hesitantly: "In fact, I had a feeling just now, I felt like we were going downhill.
"What? Downhill?!"
The fat man looked surprised: "Aren't we always walking on a flat road?"
Old Hu shook his head: "No, we are indeed walking downhill, but the slope is very small, and the surrounding environment is deliberately created, so we have the illusion that we are walking on a flat road."
"If I calculated correctly, we should have walked down more than a hundred meters."
The fat man was surprised: "Then aren't we in the belly of the mountain now?!"
Shirley Yang looked around and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the environment here?"
Lao Hu glanced at her and said, "Go touch the mountain wall."
Shirley Yang walked to the cliff and touched it.
As a result, she was surprised to find that she couldn't touch the mountain wall.
Because there was a layer of ice on the mountain wall.
A very thick layer of ice.
She was close to the ice surface and could see that there was at least ten centimeters between her hands and the mountain wall.
If you don't touch it with your hands.
The ice is not visible at all.
Shirley Yang: "The mountain wall is frozen!!"
"what?!"
Professor Chen and others also walked to the mountain wall and touched it.
Sure enough, they all touched a layer of ice.
The fat man also tried it, and the coldness of the ice made him shiver unconsciously.
Xu Feng walked to the mountain wall.
He took out the small sword and thrust it into the ice with force.
The iron-hard ice was like tofu in front of Xiao Shenfeng and sank right into the handle.
He grabbed the handle and started cutting.
Finally, a large piece of ice was dug out from the ice layer.
Throwing the ice cube to the ground, he touched the mountain wall inside.
This time I actually touched it.
To his surprise, the mountain wall was warm.
"What the hell?!"
There are ice layers and warm mountain walls.
Xu Feng looked surprised.
He also asked Lao Hu to come over and touch it.
After touching it, Lao Hu was also shocked.
“Is there lava behind the mountain wall?”
"How is that possible? This place is not thousands of meters underground, but only a hundred meters. Where does the lava come from?"
"That is how the matter?"
"I don't know. This layer of ice is at least thirty centimeters thick. Logically, the walls covered by it should be freezing cold."
Shirley Yang found that the two were whispering about something.
Come over.
"what are you guys saying?"
Xu Feng and Lao Hu looked at each other.
Then Xu Feng grabbed Shirley Yang's wrist. Shirley Yang instinctively wanted to pull back, but was held and couldn't get free.
Xu Feng grabbed her hand and reached into the mountain wall.
"Huh?!" Shirley Yang also immediately noticed something strange about the mountain wall.
"How is this going?"
Xu Feng shrugged at her.
"How about I dig up the mountain wall and take a look?"
A sudden thought occurred to him.
"How about I dig up the mountain wall and take a look?"
Xu Feng said.
Shirley Yang and Lao Hu were both stunned.
They didn't expect Xu Feng to have such an idea.
But the two of them hesitated for a while.
Everyone thinks it's worth a try.
They were also very curious about what was behind the mountain wall.
Just as Xu Feng was about to thrust the sword into the mountain wall, the fat man's voice suddenly came: "Come and see."
Xu Feng stopped what he was doing.
Then the three of them turned to look at the fat man, only to see him standing next to a mountain wall not far ahead.
Professor Chen and others were also there.
There was a look of surprise on everyone's face.
Xu Feng and the other two walked over.
When they looked at the ice wall, the three of them were also shocked by the scene before them.
I only saw it inside the ice.
There was actually a lotus-like plant growing there.
The petals are packed together, one next to the other. Each petal is translucent, almost the same color as the ice. If you don't look carefully, you will definitely overlook it.
The stamens in the middle of the petals are milky white.
The whole flower is very large, like a blooming lotus.
"What kind of flower is this? It can grow inside the ice?!"
"How can it grow inside the ice? It must have grown so big and suddenly got frozen."
"It looks like it's still alive?!"
"Could this be the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Tianshan Snow Lotus wouldn't look like this."
"Nature is so amazing that there are such amazing plants."
"I think it might be a trace left by aliens."
Everyone expressed their opinions on this strange lotus.
Xu Feng did not say anything, but stared at the lotus with a deep gaze.
[Item Name: Demonic Snow Lotus]
[Item Level: Second-grade Spiritual Material]
[Item Ability: Life Essence]
[Item Description: This plant was cultivated by the Demonic Kingdom. It likes warmth and is aggressive. It uses corpses as nutrients. It bears fruit once every hundred years. Each time it bears fruit, it releases a large amount of cold air. The fruit must be picked with a special method. The fruit contains a large amount of life essence and can prolong life.]
Godly object!!
It is a magical item that can prolong life!!
But Xu Feng did not feel surprised.
On the contrary, it is very solemn.
Aggressive!
Use corpses as nutrients!
Special techniques are required to pick the fruits!
And judging from its habits, the ice on the mountain walls is obviously caused by it.
It should be the fruit-bearing period now, releasing a lot of cold air, so such a thick layer of ice has formed on the mountain wall.
What an amazing plant.
This demon country is so powerful that it can actually cultivate natural treasures artificially!
"Little Master Xu, come and see!"
Old Hu suddenly said.
Xu Feng came to his senses and saw Lao Hu lying on the ice, pointing the light inside the ice.
He moved closer.
Unexpectedly, Shirley Yang also squeezed over.
Xu Feng looked at her speechlessly.
Shirley Yang rolled her eyes at him proudly: "I want to see it too."
Xu Feng shook his head slightly, then lay down in the position that Lao Hu had made way for.
Shirley Yang also lay over.
Because of the angle, their heads were almost touching.
Xu Feng looked at it for a while.
Then he understood what Lao Hu wanted him to see.
It is the root system of the snow lotus of this demon country.
Its root system is very developed, and it has grown hundreds of rhizomes as thick as fingers. What is surprising is that all of these rhizomes have taken root in the mountain wall.
Think of its warm nature.
Then it makes sense that it grows on the mountain wall.
But then think about it, it uses corpses as nutrients.
Xu Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Is it...
He shifted his gaze and looked at the mountain wall encased in ice.
Unexpectedly, Shirley Yang also turned her head to ask him something.
The two heads were originally close to each other.
Xu Feng followed the roots of the Demon Country Snow Lotus to check the mountain wall, and happened to turn his head in her direction.
The two were suddenly stunned.
At this moment, the distance between the two was extremely close, so close that they were only a few centimeters apart and were about to kiss each other.
Such a close distance.
Both parties can smell the breath coming out of each other's mouth and nose.
The two looked at each other.
It's like it's stuck and I can't move it away.
A strange feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"Little Master Xu, did you see anything?"
Suddenly, Fatty Wang's voice rang out.
It was like being caught cheating.
The two woke up immediately.
Shirley Yang lowered her head and pretended to continue checking the ice.
Xu Feng turned around as if he had received an electric shock, his mind was blank and his expression was panicked: "Uh, look, look, what are you looking at? What are you asking me?"
The fat man saw that Xu Feng seemed to be a little bit abnormal, and looked at him suspiciously: "Little Master Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Feng put one hand on his waist, as if he didn't know where to put his other hand. He wanted to say something, but his mind was in a mess.
"Uh, no, I'm fine, nothing."
Shirley Yang, who was pretending to check the rhizomes of snow lotus behind Xu Feng, saw Xu Feng's helpless look and for some reason, she suddenly chuckled.
I heard a chuckle from behind.
Xu Feng's old face turned red, and he had the urge to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
The fat man came over and looked at Xu Feng strangely: "Little Master Xu, did you see something?"
at this time.
Xu Feng finally recovered his ability to think and organize language.
He pointed to the roots of the snow lotus in the ice and said, "I think there's something strange about its roots."
