Chapter 631: Palace of Ice and Fire
The water-dividing escape technique is a very advanced escape technique among water-attributed escape techniques.
However, compared to the water escape technique that has been passed down by the Five Elements Sect for ten thousand years, it is inferior.
The red-scaled water-dividing turtle escaped into the water using the water-dividing escape technique. He thought that the evil man who had hurt him before would not dare to chase him. Even if the enemy really dared to chase him, the red-scaled water-dividing turtle's strength would double under the deep water, and it would have the confidence to give the enemy a head start.
Unexpectedly, in just a moment, the red-scaled water-dividing turtle noticed something unusual from the fluctuations of the water flow!
That person really caught up!
Damn! Is he going to kill him?
Thinking of this, the red-scaled water-dividing turtle suddenly raised his head and split the water away.
In just a moment, Xiao Mian found the red-scaled water-dividing turtle's nest with the faint smell of blood in the water flow, but when he arrived here, Xiao Mian was stunned.
But I saw corals and seaweeds, hundreds of huge shells covering each other and overlapping each other, forming a well-arranged shell palace!
More importantly: there was a faint halo spreading outside the shell palace.
This is not the nest of the red-scaled water-dividing turtle!
It is clearly an underwater cave that has existed for who knows how many years!
This Zulong Residence is really thrilling and full of surprises...
However, it seems that it will be a bit troublesome to capture the red-scaled water-dividing turtle in a short time. I wonder if the person who retreated just now will be willing to retreat?
Well!
Before deliberately letting that person go, Xiao Mian had his own plan. Although this underwater palace was a little unexpected to Xiao Mian, it did not hinder Xiao Mian's plan.
Thinking about this, Xiao Mian released the Five Spirit Sword and tried to attack the shell palace.
The Five Spirit Sword turned into five streams of light, and simultaneously pierced the colorful defensive halo. After the halo shook for a while, it blocked the Five Spirit Sword on the outside.
No matter how much Xiao Mian poured in his true essence and controlled the Five Spirit Sword, he could not advance an inch.
Obviously, the defensive halo outside the Shell Palace was of a high grade.
At least, it was a sixth-grade defensive array!
If it was cracked step by step, even if Wan Tianyun, who claimed to be the first array master of the Demon Shadow Sect, came in person, it would probably take several days.
Now, Xiao Mian would naturally not be so honest.
A flash of black light, and a black cloth in hand.
"Xiao Bu! As long as we can get in, this thing may be of great use. Please be merciful and don't be too greedy!"
"..."
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Mian covered the defensive halo with a black cloth.
Black light suddenly appeared, and the colorful halo seemed to be a stream flowing into the sea, gushing towards the black cloth. For a moment, a funnel seemed to appear on the huge defensive halo.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian picked up the black cloth and took the opportunity to drill into the defensive halo.
The black cloth was still not satisfied, but Xiao Mian took it into his body first.
Are you kidding!
The defensive halo is still very useful to Xiao Mian, how can he let the black cloth swallow it?
Thinking about this, Xiao Mian looked at the situation inside the shell palace.
There was no moisture inside the entire shell palace, and it was obviously blessed with a very sophisticated water-proof magic circle. Walking in, Xiao Mian saw that the shell palace was abnormally messy. He didn't know whether it was because of the long age or because it had experienced a major change and war.
Suddenly, Xiao Mian looked closely and found a touch of red.
With a casual move, a palm-sized fiery red crystal was absorbed.
"Huh? Is this a fifth-level red crystal? How strange! Even if there is little moisture in this shell palace, there shouldn't be any fire-attributed spiritual materials..."
Muttering to himself, Xiao Mian put the red crystal into his storage bag.
Although the fifth-level red crystal is not a good thing, it is worth some spiritual stones.
As he walked along, Xiao Mian secretly paid attention and saw a lot of red crystals. One of them was as thick as an adult's waist, which can be called a treasure!
When Xiao Mian put the overly large red crystal into the white jade flying pendant, his expression moved, but it was an urgent message from the black cloth.
The message from the black cloth has always been obscure, but the urgency contained in it is imminent.
Xiao Mian no longer cared about the red crystal, and rushed in the direction indicated by the black cloth - although the black cloth was a little unreliable, it would never be aimless!
With the help of the black cloth, Xiao Mian easily rushed through layer after layer of water-attributed forbidden gates and finally arrived in front of a hall.
A plaque hung crookedly on the main hall - Ice and Fire Palace!
I guess this is the name of this shell palace...
Thinking so, Xiao Mian strode quickly, kicked the gate of the Ice and Fire Palace away, and rushed into it with a golden bell.
What came into view was the oversized red-scaled water-dividing turtle?
But at this time, the red-scaled water-dividing turtle was suspended in the air, and the only remaining front paw was holding a crystal that was shining with ice light, as if it was practicing qigong to heal its wounds.
Xiao Mian's sudden appearance obviously startled the red-scaled water-dividing turtle.
At that moment, the Red Scaled Water-Splitting Turtle looked at Xiao Mian with fear, panic, confusion and anger...
Fear of Xiao Mian's sudden attack;
Fear of his tragic end;
Confused by Xiao Mian's unexpected arrival;
Angry at his series of disasters;
You must know that before it entered the Ice and Fire Palace, it had already opened all the external restrictions of the Ice and Fire Palace. If it did not have the Ice and Fire Palace's jade pass, it would have been impossible to enter this place.
How did this kid get in without anyone noticing?
If I knew that this kid could break into the Ice and Fire Palace so easily, why would I choose to take the risk of absorbing spiritual energy at this time in order to attract a great catastrophe and seek a breakthrough?
Now, forget about it!
While the Red Scaled Water-Dividing Turtle was complaining about himself, Xiao Mian had already activated the Star Magnetic Sword. However, this time, the Chaos Sword Light was not aimed at the Red Scaled Water-Dividing Turtle, which was like a living target, but instead went towards the crystal that was tightly held by the Red Scaled Water-Dividing Turtle.
When Xiao Mian saw the crystal, he knew why Hei Bu was so excited!
Foodie!
He is indeed a big foodie!
The Chaos Sword Light was like a silk thread, wrapping around the front paw of the Red Scaled Water-Dividing Turtle.
At this time, the Red Scaled Water-Dividing Turtle was fully absorbing the huge and pure spiritual energy in the crystal. It was basically fish on the chopping board and had no way to resist.
Fortunately, Xiao Mianzhi only cut off a few claws of the Red Scaled Water-Dividing Turtle when the Star Magnetic Sword passed by, and then the sword picked up the water-colored crystal and returned it to Xiao Mian's hand.
Holding the crystal tightly, Xiao Mian shuddered involuntarily.
Feeling the huge ice-attribute spiritual energy contained in it, Xiao Mian finally confirmed his guess!
Top-grade spiritual stone!
This ice-blue crystal turned out to be a top-grade spiritual stone with ice attribute!
The so-called top-grade spiritual stone can no longer be called a spiritual stone. Even if it is regarded as a top-notch magic weapon, it is also an insult to it.
Ordinary spiritual stones have no attributes to speak of. Only top-grade spiritual stones have a trace of spirituality inside. Under the operation of this trace of spirituality, the spiritual energy inside the spiritual stone will be selectively screened and filtered, leaving the pure spiritual energy that best fits that trace of spirituality.
Therefore, due to different spiritualities, top-grade spiritual stones have different attributes.
The one in Xiao Mian's hand is exactly the top-grade spiritual stone with ice attribute!
After just one pass, Xiao Mian stuffed it into the forbidden spirit box.
He looked at the red-scaled water-dividing turtle that was snatched from his mouth with a playful look, and then he grinned, and then quietly retreated and left the Ice and Fire Palace.
Suddenly, an extremely angry roar came from the Ice and Fire Palace...
The next moment, the huge body of the red-scaled water-dividing turtle pierced through the palace gate of the Ice and Fire Palace, and the already shaky plaque above the palace gate shook three times...
The red-scaled water-dividing turtle suddenly raised its head and spewed out a strong flame.
The flames were surging, the water was shimmering, and the huge red-scaled water-dividing turtle followed Xiao Mian's trail and rushed away.
Although the red-scaled water-dividing turtle didn't know why Xiao Mian didn't take the opportunity to kill it just now, the red-scaled water-dividing turtle, which had its beloved life taken away, was almost in pure anger. In its mind, there was only one thought now.
That was - to kill Xiao Mian! Take back that ice-attribute top-grade spiritual stone!
The red-scaled water-dividing turtle left in anger. After a long time, the plaque of the Ice and Fire Palace fell at the gate of the palace because of the raging fire, making a crisp sound.
Not a moment later, a figure appeared near the plaque.
The green shirt covered his body, but it was Xiao Mian who had returned.
The reason why Xiao Mian appeared here was that after he left the Ice and Fire Palace, he did not escape far away at all, but used the vacuum to hide his figure.
The red-scaled water-dividing turtle was angry and inevitably lost.
"Huh? I didn't expect this plaque to be a rare treasure! It is a rare spiritual material of ice and fire coexisting. Although I don't know its name, it is expected to be very valuable..." It was Xiao Mian, who reached out and touched the plaque of the Ice and Fire Palace, muttering to himself: "Ice and Fire Palace? Huh? Why is there a small word behind it? Seven? What does it mean..."
Frowning, Xiao Mian was puzzled.
Suspicious, Xiao Mian unceremoniously put the Ice and Fire Palace plaque into the white jade flying pendant. Just when Xiao Mian wanted to search the Ice and Fire Palace again, Hei Bu hurriedly sent a series of urgent messages, which made Xiao Mian laugh and cry.
Isn't it just a piece of top-grade spiritual stone?
Is it that serious?
Having said that, Xiao Mian had to comfort Hei Bu.
Under Hei Bu's repeated urging, Xiao Mian went to the place where the Red Scale Dividing Turtle swam far away, but looking at his unhurried pace, he seemed not to be in a hurry at all.
Let's talk about the Red Scale Dividing Turtle again. He chased to the outermost part of the Ice and Fire Palace, but he didn't see Xiao Mian's figure, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.
After chasing all the way, the anger of the Red Scale Dividing Turtle gradually subsided, and he gradually felt some conspiracy. Looking at the intact defensive barrier, the Red Scale Dividing Turtle's huge pupils turned dimly, and it was obviously calculating something quickly.
After a moment, the red-scaled water-dividing turtle's eyes dimmed, and it actually planned to give up chasing Xiao Mian, give up the ice-attributed top-grade spirit stone, and go back home.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another stream of light rushed straight towards the Ice and Fire Palace...
