C75 Be a Thief
Each of the three Rank Five Devil Beast Icicle Dragons was twenty feet tall, and their bodies were snow white. Their bodies were covered with sharp ice spikes, and they looked like long spears that shot up into the sky. They were flickering with a cold light. It wouldn't be fun if they were accidentally stabbed by him. He estimated that there would be a few more holes in his body.
Cold white frostbite lingered around their mouths. It was as if an icicle would shoot out at any moment. Su Chen looked at the giant rock that he had previously used as a barrier, and now it had actually cracked into countless pieces. It had turned into a crystal clear ice block. The rising cold air rose in spirals. It turned into a fog and drifted in the Ancient Forest.
"Roar!" The two meter tall Ice Spur Dragon was like a small mountain, its body was glowing with white light. It charged towards Su Chen. The ground was trembling, and the rocks were shattering. Wherever the Ice Spike Dragon passed by... Su Chen felt as if he was in an ice cellar.
Without saying anything else, the best plan was to escape.
Su Chen struck out the Heaven Rushing Buddha Destorying Palm, but it was blocked by an ice pillar spat out by an Ice Spikes Dragon. He knew that fighting one Ice Spikes Dragon was a problem, let alone three, so he used his movement technique to escape to the stone forest behind him.
The stone forest was very vast. Looking from afar, they couldn't see the end of it. Su Chen was like a frog, jumping from one boulder to another. The Icicle Dragon's body was too large, and the boulder blocked their path.
Boom! Dozens of boulders were smashed into pieces by their powerful bodies. They stopped in their tracks and began to breathe out ice energy. Su Chen and the others had already pulled more than thirty meters away from them, but the ice arrows whistling towards them were extremely fast. Furthermore, the shooting range was very far, so Su Chen had no choice but to be careful in dealing with them.
He used Butterfly Steps and a pair of wings made of True Qi appeared on his back. The wings flapped gently, and Su Chen's body was light and dreamy, moving freely between the ice pillar and the ice arrow. After a while, he was far away from the attack range of the Ice Spike Dragon, and hid behind a huge rock in a flash.
"How scary!" Su Chen looked at the corner of his robe that had been frozen into powder by the ice Qi and said with lingering fear.
The stone forest was incomparably dense, as if an ancient forest had been petrified. In most places, the sun was covered by huge rocks, leaving behind shadows, making this place appear extremely cold and strange.
"Ka ka..." In a certain direction of the stone forest, an incomparably strange sound rang out, as if there was some monster biting at the rocks. The three Icicle Dragons' roars drew closer and closer, and they actually chased over.
"Yi, what is that?" Su Chen was just about to escape when he saw three crystal-clear plants. They all had three snow-white pieces and a fruit the size of a finger. A faint fragrance drifted out.
If these plants could not emit a fragrance, Su Chen would definitely think that they were carved out of ice. He gently touched the snow white leaves and felt a cold air continuously surging into his body. Since even his True Qi couldn't stop it.
He was shocked. His fingers quickly left the leaf, and he quickly circulated his True Qi to expel the icy cold energy from his body.
"It's really mystical. This must be a rare Divine Grass. Could the three monsters outside be protecting them?" Su Chen heard the Icicle Dragon's roar and could not help but think about it.
"Chirp! Chirp!" The Rouxue's eyes lit up, as if it had seen a delicious meal. It stared at the Divine Grass.
"This little fellow is really gluttonous. If that's really the case, it would be a pity if I don't pluck it." Su Chen chuckled and condensed his true qi on his palm. He plucked all three stalks of Spirit Ice Immortal Grass without any hesitation. He knew that the spiritual qi contained within these kinds of natural spiritual herbs would be of great help to both cultivators and Devil Beast, so he left them for the Rouxue.
"Rumble!" Just as the Rouxue was storing the immortal herb into its small space and fleeing with Su Chen. The three Icicle Dragons had also arrived, smashing a piece of jet-black rock into pieces. They were in such a rush and nervous state, which further highlighted the extraordinariness of these immortal grasses.
There was a wide road to the north of the stone forest, which was enough for these huge devil dragons to walk. It was very likely that this dragon was created by them to protect the immortal grasses. No wonder they attacked Su Chen the moment they saw him.
The surrounding air instantly dropped by dozens of degrees, as if it was an icy hell. Ice began to form on the ground. When they saw that the three Immortal Grasses were no longer there, the eyes of the three Icicle Dragons turned red, and they roared crazily.
The violent ice energy turned the rocks within ten meters into ice sculptures, and then they were smashed into pieces by the rampaging Icicle Dragons.
Su Chen ran very fast as if he was a thief. It was only after ten minutes, when he could no longer hear the Ice Dragon's roar, that he stopped.
"If I'm a little late, I'll lose my life. It doesn't feel good to be a thief." Su Chen looked at the Rouxue and said with a bitter smile. He did not feel sorry for the Ice Spikes Dragon. Those wild dragons were not good. If they became stronger, they might become even more brutal.
They had unknowingly escaped into the depths of the stone forest. The Glacial Pricker Dragon did not chase after them. It was as if it was afraid of something. Suddenly, Su Chen's right arm began to tremble. He was incomparably shocked. The purple bone that had fused with his flesh and blood seemed to have received a call from something. It began to stir.
"Is it over there?" Su Chen felt something calling out to the purple hand bone. In the depths of the stone forest, it was pitch black. A wave of cold energy was released, making one's scalp feel numb.
The Rouxue jumped onto a rock in front of him. Its little claws were also pointing towards the depths of the stone forest. It continuously cried out.
Su Chen was even more certain that there was definitely something extraordinary there! It was impossible for him not to be afraid in his heart. This mysterious region was full of danger, and danger lurked everywhere. If he couldn't predict what was in front of him, no one would be able to predict what was in front of him. There would always be an inexplicable sense of curiosity and fear.
However, he took a step forward without hesitation, as if there was something in front of him that attracted his soul.
The Rouxue lightly jumped and landed on his shoulder. Its dark green eyes looked around, it was on guard. With the Rouxue by his side, the fear in Su Chen's heart decreased by a lot. He circulated the profound art in his body and spread out his spiritual sense to the best state. He could clearly feel the movement within a fifty meter radius.
His hearing, vision, and sense of smell became extremely sensitive, even in the dark shadow of the stone forest. Su Chen could still see clearly. The slight movement of the wind and grass could not escape his ears. He could hear the terrifying and inexplicable roars of beasts in the distance. His sharp sense of smell allowed him to smell a faintly discernible fragrance, as if it was some kind of fragrant flower that grew in the darkness. It made him feel extremely comfortable.
After passing through a black stone forest, a huge stone cave appeared in front of Su Chen. Green mist drifted out from the cave. The entire cave was like the entrance to hell, filled with a gloomy and strange aura.1
This wasn't the first time Su Chen had seen such a scene. Most places where the Undead Clan was located would have this kind of green mist, which was condensed from death Qi.
A white skeleton lay horizontally at the entrance of the cave. More than half of its sternum had been crushed by some terrifying creature. Su Chen took a closer look and found that it was actually the skeleton of the Rank Four Devil Beast Fire Ape.
The Purple Divine Bone on his right arm was trembling even more violently, as if it was going to break out of his body at any moment. Su Chen's right arm was actually emitting a purple light. The power of the arm bone had been ignited by something in the cave.
"Let's go in and take a look! We need to be careful with the Rouxue." Su Chen instructed the Rouxue and strode into the stone cave.
