Chapter 72 Snow Cloud Beast
Seeing that the female cultivator was straight to the point, Lu Sang didn't hide her words.
She took out a black gold fruit and handed it to her and said, "Yes, we originally had two companions, but they got separated and we don't know when they can come over."
"The Millennium Cold Iron Ore is not easy to obtain. Seeing that fellow Taoist is very capable and a good match, I boldly invited him."
Lu Sangjiu gave the Xuanjin Fruit first to express her attitude. She would not threaten the Xuanjin Fruit. Whether she agreed or not depended on her own thoughts.
This approach made the female cultivator feel a little fond of her, and she nodded and agreed, "Okay."
After the team was successfully formed, Lu Sangjiu and Chi Yan also learned that the female cultivator's name was Feng Lin, and she was a cultivator from Lingyin Pavilion.
In this way, they didn't waste any more time and continued towards the top of the mountain.
Along the way, they encountered some people snatching treasures one after another. However, although the items were good, none of them were too interested in them.
And the colder it gets as they get to the top of the mountain, they need to devote a large part of their spiritual power to maintain body temperature, so they never do it easily.
As they were about to reach the top of the mountain, they were suddenly attacked by a group of Snow Cloud Beasts!
The Snow Cloud Beast looks like a furry snowball. It has no hands or feet. It only has a pair of black bean-like eyes inlaid on a white fur ball. It looks very cute and harmless.
But in fact, snow cloud beasts are very aggressive, and the snowy mountains are their home field.
At this time, a group of little guys suddenly appeared and attacked them without saying a word.
For a moment, they saw snowballs condensed from their spells hitting them, bringing with them an overwhelming cold air, as if they were going to freeze them completely.
Lu Sangjiu and the other three hurriedly gathered the protective shield, but there were too many snowballs and the protective shield could not last long before it burst.
If they continue, not only will they consume their spiritual energy, they will also have basically no chance to fight back, so the gain outweighs the loss.
So the three of them tacitly agreed not to gather any more protective shields. They just dodged and cast the same spell to counterattack the Snow Cloud Beast.
Lu Sangjiu's movements were flexible, and the Snow Cloud Beast that attacked her was also disrupted by the counterattack, but she soon felt less pressure.
But soon she heard Feng Lin's voice, "Something's wrong...the cold energy of these snow cloud beasts is too strong!"
The place where she was touched was her waist, and for a moment she felt that there was a huge amount of cold ice there, and she was almost unconscious!
She immediately mobilized her spiritual energy to dispel the coldness, but found that she could not completely drive the coldness out of her body within an hour or two.
The Snow Cloud Beast is not a rare monster, it can be found everywhere on the snowy mountains.
Feng Lin had encountered it before when he went out for training, but he had never encountered such a severe cold.
When Lu Sangjiu heard Feng Lin's words, he immediately distracted himself to feel carefully, and soon realized that something was wrong.
If only one or two are stronger, why are the dozen or so Snow Cloud Beasts here so strong?
Squinting her eyes, she couldn't help but think of a possibility.
So she then secretly left a grain of soul-devouring sand on each Snow Cloud Beast.
As soon as she put it down, she found that Feng Lin over there had found an opportunity to take out her suona. Lu Sangjiu was so frightened that she quickly shouted to stop, "Fellow Daoist Feng, don't use ranged attacks yet!"
Feng Lin made a move. Although the team had not been together for a long time, she trusted Lu Sangjiu at this time, so she took the suona back without asking any more questions.
Seeing this, Lu Sangjiu and Chi Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Ahem... Even if the sound attack is not aimed at the two of them, being affected by the suona sound is really uncomfortable, so don't use it if you can!
After calling Feng Lin to stop, Lu Sangjiu used the earth attribute of the six-sided exquisite dice to directly explode the ground under the feet of the Xueyun beasts.
The Snow Cloud Beasts were originally very concentrated, but this time they were blown to pieces, and the sounds of "chirp, chirp, chirp" were heard endlessly.
"Chi Yan, take advantage of now!"
Chi Yan and Lu Sangjiu have fought side by side many times, and have developed some tacit understanding.
It didn't take Lu Sangjiu's explanation to know that he wanted him to take advantage of the opportunity to engage in close combat to make it difficult for them to use the snowball technique.
At the same time, Lu Sangjiu was not polite to Feng Lin, "Fellow Taoist Feng, use your golden cymbal!"
Feng Lin responded, took out a pair of golden cymbals, and struck the Snow Cloud Beast that was blown to her side.
Of course, Lu Sangjiu himself was not idle either. He took out a flying sword and rushed into the herd of beasts, also fighting in close combat.
These snow cloud beasts are actually not very capable, and the snowball technique is what they are best at.
Usually getting together to carry out group attacks will bring a lot of pressure to people.
But once this kind of spell is approached, it is basically too late to cast, and they will only get beaten.
They took the initiative to provoke, and now the three people are fighting back. They will not be soft on them just because of their cute appearance.
In just a moment, a group of snow cloud beasts suffered heavy casualties, and only a few of them fled quickly.
After all, this is their home ground. If they can't defeat them, it's easy to escape. All they have to do is hide in the snow, and they will soon be nowhere to be found.
When Feng Lin and Chi Yan saw that they had escaped, they had no intention of continuing to chase them. They immediately meditated and adjusted their breath to restore their condition.
After adjusting the breath, I thought I would continue to the top of the mountain, but I didn't expect Lu Sangjiu to suddenly say, "Follow me."
Seeing Lu Sangjiu turn around, he was going in the direction where the Snow Cloud Beast escaped just now.
Chi Yan couldn't help but be surprised, "You just remembered to chase now, you can't catch up now, right?"
Feng Lin reacted quickly, "...Fellow Daoist Lu feels that there is something strange about the coldness on their bodies and wants to check it out?"
Lu Sangjiu nodded and said, "I have placed something on them in advance so that I can track them directly. Let's go and have a look."
What she was referring to was, of course, the soul-devouring sand that had been placed in advance.
She can follow her breath and has excellent concealment.
Chi Yan had no objection when he heard this, but Feng Lin hesitated, "Did Fellow Daoist Lu have any guesses?"
Now they have been maintaining their body temperature with spiritual power. After reaching the top, they have to dig for thousands of years of cold iron ore. If it is not something good, it is really not worth the gain to expend their energy elsewhere.
Lu Sangjiu didn't want to say it in advance, fearing that it would be in vain.
But Feng Lin asked, and she just said, "I suspect there are old ice crystals... But it's just a guess, I'm not sure."
"So if fellow Taoist Feng doesn't want to waste time on this, you can leave first."
Her tone was sincere and she didn't mean to be angry. She really gave Feng Lin a chance to choose.
Feng Lin seemed to be thinking and did not answer immediately.
Chi Yan was very excited, "Ice crystal? If it is a hundred years old, it would be a good thing!"
Of course, if it's less than a hundred years old, it's just an ordinary bargain. If you can sell it for a medium-grade spiritual stone, it's considered a high price.
But obviously he didn't think about that at all, and didn't even pay attention to what Lu Sangjiu said was just a guess.
He was just gearing up, as if he was about to get the century-old ice crystal.
Feng Lin weighed in his mind for a moment, and then he didn't know whether he was infected by Chi Yan's optimism or felt that leaving alone was not loyal enough, so he finally nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go and see it together!"
