20demayo Chapter 171 Escape
Chapter 171 Escape
Lin Xia and Ling Cang could both be sure that the thing beneath the cold pond in front of them was the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus, one of the Three Sacred Lotuses.
However, if it is an eighth-level spiritual herb, it is impossible for it to grow here safely without being discovered by other cultivators. There is not even a shadow of a monster nearby.
There must be something else beneath this cold pond.
It's no wonder Lin Xia thinks so. Generally, where high-level spiritual herbs grow, there will either be the shadow of high-level monsters or the existence of companion monsters. Especially for a rare treasure like the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus, it is even more impossible for it to be as peaceful as it is now.
Thinking about it this way, the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus in the cold pond clearly doesn't look mature yet. That trace of the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus's aura seems to be released intentionally by something just to attract their attention.
It's strange to say, this valley doesn't look like anything special, even the density of the spiritual energy is the same as other places around it, no different, so how could it suddenly emit the aura of the Holy Heart Ice Lotus?
Especially when Ling Cang, who also has ice attribute, passed by here.
Not only Lin Xia, Ling Cang seemed to have thought of this as well, and his expression became serious.
Lin Xia frowned slightly, staring at the cold pond, and released his spiritual sense to carefully explore the bottom of the cold pond. After a long time, he could only detect silence and darkness, and found nothing else.
When Lin Xia wanted to explore deeper, the water in the pool became thicker the deeper he went. He suddenly felt an icy coldness that struck his soul directly. A cold breath instantly spread from the water to his whole body.
Then, it seemed as if something began to devour Lin Xia's consciousness. Lin Xia was frightened and hurriedly withdrew his consciousness. However, his soul was still attacked by the thing under the pool. He couldn't help but scream, "Ah!" and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Master!" Ling Cang's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly supported Lin Xia.
At this moment, a strong current suddenly surged out of the cold pond, splashing water and spreading cold air. In the bottomless pond, a huge white shadow slowly emerged, emitting a heart-pounding breath.
Lin Xia's face turned pale, and she managed to utter, "Go!"
Just one strike was enough to make Lin Xia lose her mind. Lin Xia knew very well that even if she, Ling Cang, and Uncle Rat all attacked together, they would not be a match for the thing at the bottom of the pool.
It was too late for them to escape on their own at this time, so Lin Xia quickly summoned Uncle Rat from the Qinglin space.
As soon as Mr. Rat came out, he felt a dangerous aura coming from not far away. The hair on his body stood up, and he activated his innate magical power without any hesitation.
Before being teleported away, Ling Cang and Lin Xia, who was about to faint, clearly saw the huge creature emerging from the water.
It turned out to be a Binglan dragon, and judging from its aura, it had already cultivated into a king-level monster. If it could take one more step forward, it would be able to shed its dragon body and transform into a monster dragon.
Because Uncle Rat moved faster, and also because he didn't expect that there would be a space-type beast around the little Jindan cultivator, the dragon didn't have time to activate its own domain to trap them. Its pair of cold eyes stared at Lin Xia quietly, and the chill in their eyes seemed to want to freeze Lin Xia to death directly.
Before she could think about it, Lin Xia fainted.
……
"Mother, mother, wuwuwu... Mother, please wake up soon! Wuwuwu..." This was Xiaochu's pitiful sobbing.
"Master, master, please wake up!..." Uncle Rat was also calling Lin Xia anxiously.
Lin Xia, who was in a coma, was very upset by the noise. She wanted Xiaochu and Uncle Shu to be quiet, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.
Fortunately, Ling Cang saw something from the unconscious Lin Xia's face and called the two little ones out. Only then did Lin Xia finally fall into a peaceful sleep.
Although she fell into a coma, Lin Xia was still somewhat conscious. In a daze, she felt that each of the cubs in the family had stuffed a few pills into her mouth.
By the time Lin Xia woke up, more than half a month had passed.
Xiaochu and Uncle Shu were huddled beside Lin Xia. As soon as Lin Xia made any movement, they were discovered by the two.
Xiaochu threw himself on Lin Xia in surprise, "Mom, Mom, you finally woke up."
Before Lin Xia could say anything, Uncle Rat rushed over and said, "Master, how are you? Are you okay?! Uncle Rat was so worried."
Lin Xia felt warm in her heart and hugged the two little ones in her arms, "Be good, Xiaochu, be good, Tuantuan, I'm fine."
At this time, Ling Cang also walked in from outside. Seeing Lin Xia wake up, the expression on his face became relaxed, "Master, you are finally awake."
Then, Ling Cang took out several food boxes from the storage ring, and soon, the table in the room was filled with colorful, fragrant and delicious spiritual food.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xia's eyes lit up, and her originally weak body seemed to suddenly have more strength.
After having enough food and drink, Lin Xia finally remembered to ask Ling Cang, "Where are we now?"
Ling Cang didn't hesitate and quickly said, "Jinling City."
It turned out that Lin Xia's soul was injured and she fainted. Then Uncle Rat took them to a wasteland.
At that time, although Lin Xia had no external injuries, his soul was severely damaged and he was unconscious. Ling Cang quickly found the elixir for healing the soul from the stock that Lin Xia had refined in the past in the Qinglin space, and asked him to take it, which stabilized Lin Xia's injuries.
After a short rest in the wilderness, Ling Cang brought the unconscious Lin Xia and Uncle Rat to Jinling City, the closest city to the wilderness.
Now, they are in an inn in Jinling City.
"I see." After understanding the current situation, Lin Xia took out the map he had bought earlier from the storage ring and found the location of Jinling City.
Jinling City is not far from Qionghua City, and Uncle Rat's teleportation saved them a lot of distance and time.
Even though Lin Xia was in a coma for more than half a month, it did not delay them from going to Qionghua City to attend the Formation Master Conference.
Then Lin Xia thought of the Binglan dragon that had caused her to be unconscious for more than half a month. With that thing around, they would have no chance of getting the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus at the bottom of the cold pond.
However, although it was only a moment, Lin Xia's spiritual consciousness still detected the status of the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus under the cold pond. According to Lin Xia's observation, it was still a long way from the Sacred Heart Ice Lotus to produce lotus seeds, and it was estimated that it would take at least a hundred years.
Without even a face-to-face encounter, he was beaten severely by the Binglan Flood Dragon and had to flee in panic. It was really tragic, and Lin Xia felt a little unwilling in his heart.
Lin Xia frowned, the resentment in her heart burning like a flame. She raised her head and met Ling Cang's gaze. Ling Cang's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
It was obvious that Ling Cang and Lin Xia had the same idea. They would definitely make a comeback. After a hundred years, they would become even more powerful. If their uncle was added to the mix, they would definitely have a chance of winning!
