Creatures of the Cold Spring

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan retrieved a jade box gleaming with red light from his Storage Ring.

This palm-sized jade box is made of top-grade Flame Jade, which is excellent for storing fire-attribute pills.

Xiao Yan took out three reddish-green pills and gave them to Qing Lin and the other two. "Eat them quickly!"

The three of them were shivering from the cold, but upon seeing the pill radiating intense heat, they swallowed it without hesitation.

This pill was a special pill that Xiao Yan refined using the special Fire Bead from the body of the Flame Lizardman, combined with fire-elemental energy-rich ingredients such as the Earthfire Lotus Seeds.

The violent energy it contains is not suitable for cultivation, nor is it suitable for Medusa and her two companions with cold bloodlines to consume.

However, in this extremely cold and damp environment, it can provide protection.

After taking the pill, within two or three breaths, a faint red light seeped from the delicate skin of Medusa and the other two, as if forming a thin veil.

With the protection of the gauze garment, the three of them felt their spirits lifted and their body temperature began to rise.

"You all stay here and get used to the environment. I'll go into the Yellow Springs to scout ahead." Xiao Yan handed the entire jade box to Medusa, showing no intention of taking the three of them in immediately.

"Be careful. If you really can't hold on, retreat. This place is truly eerie," Medusa said gravely.

The chilling power of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs is truly terrifying; it's hard to imagine that such an extremely cold place exists in this world.

Xiao Yan nodded. He was now a genuine Half-Saint, protected by various Heavenly Flames.

Although the chilling power of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs is formidable, it is extremely difficult to harm him.

A dense, Heavenly Flames rapidly erupted from his body. The terrifyingly high temperature collided with the hidden, chilling power. The two extreme temperatures reacted violently upon contact, forming a vast expanse of white mist.

After using the Heavenly Flames to protect his body, Xiao Yan let out a light breath, and with a movement, he directly crashed into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs. He then used the Dragon Soaring Technique, and his figure rushed towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs like a swimming dragon.

As Xiao Yan, who resembled a man engulfed in flames, entered the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, a thick column of white smoke rose from the lake's surface, and bubbling water appeared continuously, as if it were boiling, clearly caused by the high temperature of the Heavenly Flames.

Seeing this, Medusa waved her hand, dispersing the white smoke column completely. Only after confirming that no new smoke column appeared did she breathe a sigh of relief, "Let's hide first and wait for Xiao Yan to come out."

"Um."

Hearing her words, Qing Lin and the other person nodded, and with a flash, they disappeared into the surrounding darkness, completely concealing their presence.

Seeing the two of them like this, Medusa also retreated into the darkness to the side, and in an instant, this land of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs became silent once again.

Although occasionally a whooshing sound could be heard in the sky, the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs was a sacred place for the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and no one ventured into it to investigate.

Xiao Yan entered the murky yellow lake water, his body wreathed in what seemed like an inextinguishable flame, and his figure swept past with incredible speed.

Each time Xiao Yan swam across the lake, the intense heat of the flames on his body reacted violently with the water, producing a series of hissing sounds.

"As expected of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, the chilling power it contains is more terrifying than I imagined." Xiao Yan's figure swiftly flew towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs, deeply moved.

The chilling power contained within the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs seemed capable of freezing Dou Qi.

If one only has ordinary Heavenly Flames to protect oneself, it will be absolutely impossible to resist this cold invasion. In the end, one's hands and feet will become numb, the circulation of internal Dou Qi will slow down, and one will die in this Yellow Spring.

Xiao Yan possesses numerous Heavenly Flames within his body, so such a terrible situation would not occur. In fact, this peculiar place could even bring him considerable benefits in his cultivation.

However, Xiao Yan is currently focused on his investigation and has no opportunity to calm down and cultivate.

Xiao Yan moved, his speed increasing dramatically once more. A deep water mark appeared where he had passed, and only after he had passed did the lake water surge back up, submerging the mark.

The Heavenly Flames remained firmly attached to Xiao Yan's body and did not change as he continued to venture deeper into the Nine Xiao Yan Nine Netherworld Cold Spring.

However, as Xiao Yan ventured deeper into the realm, the external yin and cold energy increased exponentially, forcing him to raise the temperature of Xiao Yan Heavenly Flames to resist this yin and cold.

Therefore, although the Heavenly Flames appeared unchanged, its temperature had already been rising steadily.

After a long while, Xiao Yan finally heard a faint strange sound in the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, and immediately accelerated again.

Just then, a stream of water suddenly surged eerily behind them.

Xiao Yan frowned, and as the water flow suddenly accelerated, he threw a punch at the person behind him.

Although no Dou Technique were used, the terrifying power passed through the water in a strange way and slammed into the black shadow that was controlling the water, blasting it apart.

Just after Xiao Yan defeated the shadowy creature with a single punch, the water suddenly became turbulent, and a thick black mist rapidly spread out within his field of vision.

Xiao Yan stared at the black mist, his expression changing slightly.

This so-called "black mist" is not the eerie black mist of the Soul Hall Protector, but is formed by countless strange snakes that are pitch black and covered with bizarre scales.

The strange snakes hissed in unison, emitting eerie and piercing cackling sounds.

These strange snakes had excellent eyesight; although they were still quite a distance from Xiao Yan, they had already opened their ferocious mouths.

As the water surged, countless jets of black water shot out from the mouths of the strange snakes.

As the black water arrows formed, the lake water bizarrely split open, causing the water arrows to accelerate rapidly, emitting a whooshing sound as they cut through the air, and causing the surrounding lake water to emit extremely deep explosions.

Xiao Yan not only knew about these special creatures through simulations, but also witnessed the Flame Lizardman, which were unknown to outsiders, in the Magma World beneath Jia Nan Academy.

The Flame Lizardman were not only numerous, but their strongest members were also among the top in the Dou Qi Continent.

Xiao Yan clapped his hands lightly, and a pale white skull formed from Bone Spirit Cold Flame immediately met the countless black water arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the two incredibly fast attacks collided.

The pale white skull opened its mouth wide and sucked in the jet-black water arrow, the black color then seeping into the skull.
