Locust

Chapter 100 The Ice Corpse Old Man
The green locust just broke into the cold spring spiritual eye for a while.

"Whoa!"

Half of the Xuepo Frost Centipede started up from the cold spring, trying to escape into the palace...

It is covered with white awns all over, with icy wings on its back, and can walk freely in the white mist without being restricted by the formation.

Fifteen green locusts formed an Abi killing formation, surrounded them in an instant, and fought with Xueposhuang centipedes in the sky above the main hall, fighting fiercely...

To be precise, the Xue Po Frost Centipede was quite miserable, with new wounds constantly appearing on its body, wailing incessantly, and its aura slowly fading...

"call out!"

The Xue Po Frost Centipede raised its head angrily, and the Xue Po Orb suddenly spit out, turning into a horizontal white rainbow...

Apparently, it is now at the end of its rope, trying to make a last-ditch effort.

Cao Cuo had been prepared for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, the Huolin Saber and the Qingshen Baoding together turned into two divine lights, blocking the Snow Soul Orb together...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The two magical artifacts collided fiercely with Xue Pozhu, and they fought and strangled together...

"Chichichi..."

The Xue Po Shuang centipede saw her last fight, but she couldn't break the situation. She knew that she was powerless, so she destroyed the remaining mana, and her movements became even crazier...

It has been seriously injured, its sanity is gradually losing, and it is unable to distract and control Xue Pozhu.

The Huolin Saber struck the orb into the Qingshen Baoding tripod.

The Qingshen tripod kept shaking, firmly suppressing the Xue Pozhu, preventing it from breaking free.

……

"Ang!" The Xuepo Frost Centipede wailed, with endless unwillingness, being ground to death in the killing array, the flesh and blood began to be wiped away by the killing array, and became the tonic blood food of the green locust...

This time the green locusts made great efforts, of course the flesh and blood of the Xue Poshuang centipede should reward them, Cao has better spoils in his hands.

"Whoosh!"

Cao took the two magic weapons that flew back by mistake. The Huolin knife was full of gaps, which were caused by the collision with Xue Pozhu. This treasured knife that had been with him for many years was already half destroyed...

A white rainbow flew out of the Qingshen Baoding, and fell into his hand smoothly. It was Xue Pozhu, about the size of a fist.

When the orb is picked up, it is icy cold, the body of the bead is milky white, and the divine light flows, and you can feel the gushing essence in it, Cao Cuo is very happy.

"What a treasure, the vicious insect essence contained in this Xue Po Orb is enough for me to use it until the alchemy state."

This is the essence condensed by the Snow Soul Frost Centipede in the Alchemy Realm. With half the essence of this vicious insect, it can be called a treasure to assist cultivation...

There is also this Ice Flame Palace, which is also a treasured place for retreat and practice.

Cao Cuo noticed that there is a passage on each of the three sides of the main hall, connecting the left, right, and rear, three ice halls.

The ice doors on the left and right sides of the ice hall have all been damaged, only the ice door in the back hall is intact.

"It's a good luck. There is no trace of outsiders coming to the Ice Flame Palace. There should be a lot of good things left in the remaining three ice palaces..."

……

Cao Cuo walked into the ice hall on the left first.

This is a alchemy room, which is already in a mess, the medicine shelves on the ice wall have been damaged and collapsed, and the fragments of various medicine bottles and jars are scattered on the ground.

The pills in it are all gone, obviously there are already some early adopters...

You don't need to guess to know that the Xuepo Frost Centipede has already visited here, and there are traces of the Frost Centipede crawling on the ground.

In the middle of the ice hall, a white alchemy furnace was dumped on the ground. This is a high-grade magic weapon.

The elixir in the furnace has long been swallowed, and even the furnace wall has been licked, leaving the saliva of the frost centipede...

Cao Cuo said angrily: "Send the heavenly things violently, smell the fragrance of these medicines, they are all high-quality panacea, they were all eaten by Xue Poshuang Centipede..."

"Whoosh!"

Cao mistakenly put away the only valuable alchemy furnace. This furnace should be smelted with cold iron, which is extremely cold.

This cold iron alchemy furnace should have miraculous effects in refining ice elixir, and the other effects are far inferior to the Qingshen Baoding, but it can be regarded as the top grade in the alchemy furnace.

"Next, let's take a look at another ice palace."

……

In the ice palace on the right.

The chill here is actually three points better than Hanquan Lingyan.

"This is? It's such a big Snow Soul Centipede, the aura of alchemy still exists..."

Cao mistakenly looked at the items in the ice palace, and he was inevitably surprised.

This Xuepo Frost Centipede, more than thirty feet long, crawled on the ground like a big white flood dragon.

On the snow-white carapace, there are faintly dense silver and white runes.

The mouthparts and sharp legs of the vicious insect are terrifying and chilly, and the aura of a monster in the alchemy realm threatens all directions.

However, this Xue Po Frost Centipede only has insect armor, and the flesh and blood in it is empty, leaving only this extremely strong exoskeleton...

"It seems that this is the female worm that gave birth to the three Snow Pore Centipede. All the flesh and blood on its body fed these vicious insects. The Snow Soul Orb should also be conceived by this female worm..."

Xuepo Frost Centipede can lay dozens of eggs in one litter, and the other little Frost Centipedes were probably eaten by the three fierce insects that Cao Cuo saw.

There was a lack of food in the Ice Palace, and the three Xuepo Frost Centipedes probably couldn't bear the hunger. They broke through the formation barrier and went outside to look for food after eating the flesh and blood of the pills, the pills, and the snow lotus...

"Whoosh!"

Cao mistakenly used the Qingshen Baoding to put away the Jiedan worm armor.

"The Fire Lin Knife is no longer usable, so use this worm armor to refine a new knife. If it is refined properly, it is enough to refine a magic weapon..."

……

Cao Cuo returned to the main hall and looked at the last ice hall.

"The inside should be the retreat place of the main master of the Ice Flame Palace. The footprints of the Xuepo Frost Centipede are all over the Ice Palace. This is the only place that has never approached. Why?"

This is already the second generation of Xue Po Frost Centipede, is it because of respect for the old master?

Without the nurturing of the master's blood essence, how could the fierce insect's loyalty last so long?
Is it.

Did Xue Po Frost Centipede sense the danger in it, so it didn't dare to approach?

"The control hub that controls the large formation here must be inside. If I don't get it, I don't feel at ease staying here to practice in seclusion."

"It is necessary to find out."

"boom!"

Cao made a mistake to use his spiritual sense, but he didn't shake the gate of the ice palace.

"It's unbelievable that the ban imposed by Master Jiedan can last for such a long time."

"Whoosh!"

The two-phase ring on the arm flew out, and the two rings began to resonate continuously, spinning at a high speed, and within a short time, all the mana in the forbidden area was consumed, and the seal of the ice door disintegrated by itself...

Although Master Jiedan's restraint is powerful, after years of erosion, its power is ten to none.

"Boom!" A gap opened in the ice door.

Cao Cuo did not enter directly.

"For the sake of safety, let the green locust explore the way first."

The voice just fell.

A green light passed through the crack in the door of the Ice Palace and flew into it...

After thirty breaths.

That green light flew back to Cao Cuo's hand.

"There is no danger, there is only an old man with an ice corpse and a thousand-year-old cold jade bed."

Through symbiotic induction, he already knows the situation inside:
There is only a thousand-year-old cold jade bed, and a huge piece of ice on the cold jade bed, in which an old man with an ice corpse is frozen.

The door of the ice palace burst open.

Cao Cuo took fifteen green locusts and walked slowly into it...

The furnishings in the hall are simple, only the thousand-year-old cold jade bed with a diameter of one foot is the most conspicuous.

Sitting cross-legged on the jade bed was an old man with an ice corpse, haggard and dressed in a gray robe.

It should be an ancient monk who died in bed, sitting here.

Cao Cuo saw the special emblem of the Gu Immortal Sect on his gray robe, obviously, this is a Gu Immortal Sect's alchemy master.

This ice corpse old man should be the owner of the Ice Flame Palace. After his life energy was exhausted, he was frozen here by himself...

Even if it is an alchemy master, once his practice is hindered, he will not be able to change his fate, and he will not be able to escape the ending of old age and death...

Cao Cuo looked serious, saluted the ice corpse old man, and said:
"Since Cao has obtained the legacy of his predecessors, he should thank him one or two..."

Elder Ice Corpse, sit upright...

Sudden.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

From Cao Cuo's hand, three thunderbolts flew out, swift as meteors, and hit Bing Zombie's head, chest, and abdomen respectively...

These three Yinleizi are all medium-grade magic weapons.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three loud bangs in a row, three groups of black spherical lightning, entangled with the ice corpse...

"Ah ah ah..."

The withered body of the ice corpse was broken and twisted, and it let out a shrill scream, which was extremely ear-piercing, not like a human voice...

This ice corpse is actually a living thing.

Cao Cuo said coldly:
"In order to thank senior, Cao will help you kill this void monster..."

When the first green locust entered the ice palace to investigate, it had already discovered that there was something strange about the ice corpse, and it sensed the aura of void monsters in the ice corpse old man's body.

It should be that the old ice corpse was corroded by void monsters before he was alive, so he frozen himself and the monsters together.

The seal of the ice door in the apse was broken, and this void monster has woken up from a deep sleep, and it is also capable of breaking through the weak seal.

However, the monster has been hiding in the ice corpse, obviously harboring ill intentions towards Cao Cuo who awakened it...

Cao Cuo remained calm and acted first, throwing three thunderbolts out of nowhere as the first blow.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Fifteen green glows form the Abi Killing Formation, trapping the ice corpse old man as the second blow.

The ice corpse old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were completely black, his broken face was ferocious and terrifying, and the three thunderbolts had already caused him a lot of damage.

After all, thunder law and magic energy are naturally incompatible.

The old man's body was like a rag, with many broken souls on his skin, and dark flesh wriggling inside, billowing black smoke coming out...

Cao Cuo's pupils shrank, and he said solemnly: "It really is a void monster!"

It is recorded in the Blood River Collection that in the later years of the monks' lifespan, when they face death, they often feel fear.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

Those whose centrality is insufficiently cultivated will often lose their Dao heart.

In this way, the lost Dao Heart will be born with a demon nature in the torment of fear, and it will also attract the prying eyes of void monsters...

Void monsters will constantly affect the desires in the monks' hearts through raving, nourish the demonic nature, and let the demonic roots grow deep and cannot be extricated.

When the demonic nature grows to a certain level, there will be a phenomenon where the demon seizes the Tao...

Heavenly Demon Seizes Dao refers to the practice of void monsters taking the demonic nature in people's hearts as coordinates, coming across the void, devouring monks, and seizing them all. Li Daitao froze...

This Bingyan real person probably gave birth to demon nature in his later years, his own Dao heart could not resist the demon nature, knowing that he was doomed, he did not want the void monster to use his body as a disaster.

So when the reason is good, freeze yourself up...

……

"kill!"

The Yinhong net formed by the Abi Killing Formation has surrounded the void monsters.

Endless sword light, began to strangle.

This void monster has been trapped for many years. Although it has the realm of forming alchemy, it is not in its heyday. Moreover, it was seriously injured by Yin Leizi first, and it could not escape the killing array for a while.

The Abi Killing Formation greedily sucked out the magic energy, and these core-forming magic energy was a great tonic for the green locust.

Cao Cuo is ready, if he loses to this monster, he will run away at any time, and he will never love to fight.

"what!"

The void monster howled angrily, and spit out a black magic light from its mouth, opening a gap in the killing formation, intending to fly away.

"boom!"

Cao Cuo had been prepared for a long time, and the Qingshen Baoding flew out, hit him hard, and forced him back.

"It seems that this void monster is weaker than I expected."
