C689 Snow Monster
At that moment, Ye Hongtian was floating in the air. Below him, the snow monsters were gathering. They were all holding fish, shrimp, and other food in their hands. It looked like they were preparing to eat together.
Originally, there were only four snow monsters below him, but now there were nine of them. The other five came out from a cave in a glacier nearby.
If nothing unexpected happened, the cave in the glacier should be the Frost Cave that Ye Hong Tian was looking for!
However, because of the nine snow monsters below, Ye Hong Tian could not directly enter the cave. He could only quietly wait for the snow monsters below to finish eating.
"So slow. Are they showing off their food one by one?" Ye Hongtian sat cross-legged in the air and supported his chin with his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow monster began to eat. However, the way it ate was a bit strange, causing Ye Hongtian to slowly frown.
He saw that this snow monster was holding a meter long fish in its hand. It opened its bloody mouth and started to bite crazily.
Blood dripped onto the snow, adding a touch of red color to the white snow. It was very eye-catching.
After the snow monster bit for a while, something fell from the snow monster's mouth to the ground. Ye Hong Tian took a closer look and found that it was fish meat.
Then he found that the snow monster's mouth was full of fish meat, but it did not swallow it. As more and more fish meat entered its mouth, the snow monster's cheeks bulged.
"Biting the fish meat but not swallowing it, is it storing food? But this is also storing too much, right?" Ye Hongtian frowned and murmured.
Seeing the snow monster eat all of the fish, the two cheeks of the snow monster were already cracked open. It looked very disgusting.
However, that was not the end. The snow monster next to him also stuffed all the fish that fell out into the mouth of the snow monster. Then, it lifted the snow monster up and entered the cave.
When these snow monsters entered the cave, Ye Hong Tian had a chance to get close. He slowly floated to the side of the cave and hid his aura into the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, Ye Hong Tian felt the purple flame on his body flash. A chill came from outside, causing a layer of frost to form on Ye Hong Tian's chest.
Feeling the muscles on his chest freeze and lose consciousness, Ye Hongtian took a deep breath and hurriedly strengthened the purple fire around his body to resist the cold.
Hiding in the corner and waiting for the frost on his chest to melt, Ye Hong Tian looked around and found that this place was not the same as the cave in his mind.
Usually, the cave was very dark because there was no sunlight, but this cave was not dark. The icicles hanging at the top of the cave were shining like lanterns.
After he took a step forward, the purple flame on his body emitted a purple light that illuminated the entire cave through the reflection of the ice, turning the entire cave purple in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Ye Hong Tian was first shocked, then he was shocked. He took out a sword robe from his Cosmos Sack and covered the purple flame on his body.
"I don't know if it's exposed or not, but I hope those snow monsters are blind." Ye Hong Tian murmured.
He used his Zhen Yuan to fix the robe around the purple flame and then controlled the purple flame to not burn the robe. Then, he began to feel inside.
Along the way, he also knocked down a few pieces of ice. He wanted to bring some ice out to study the principles behind ice light. However, once the ice was knocked down, it no longer emitted light, making Ye Hong Tian feel extremely helpless.
Not long after he explored the cave, Ye Hong Tian arrived at a fork in the road. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"I feel like I might have a phobia of choice. Meeting this kind of fork in the road is the most annoying."
Ye Hongtian rolled his eyes. He took out a branch from his Cosmos Sack and made it spin on the ground. Finally, he pointed to the road on the left.
"Okay! This is it!"
After choosing which path to take with the tree branch, Ye Hongtian started to search inside. After walking for a long distance, Ye Hong Tian did not see anything. However, he did see some bloodstains on the ground. If he was not mistaken, it should be the blood on the face of the snow monster that had cracked its cheeks.
"I wonder what these snow monsters are up to." Ye Hong Tian mumbled as he searched inside.
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from not far away, followed by dozens of roars.
Hearing these roars, Ye Hongtian was stunned for a moment, then he said to himself in panic, "I didn't enter the gathering place of the snow monsters, did I? I heard at least fifty snow monsters just now."1
"I don't want to be surrounded by those snow monsters. Just by looking at how much fish meat that snow monster can stuff in its mouth, I can tell that these snow monsters have extraordinary physical bodies."
As he spoke, Ye Hong Tian had already retreated back to the path he came from. Just as he retreated to the fork junction, a few more snow monsters walked in from outside. Ye Hong Tian did not pay attention and bumped into these snow monsters.
"Roar!"
When the snow monsters found Ye Hongtian, they roared at him. The strong smell almost made Ye Hongtian faint.
"I think you can try washing your teeth with ice water." Ye Hongtian covered his nose and said.
A stream of water rushed out from the thick ice layer and changed into the shape of a flood dragon. It bit the two snow monsters in its mouth and threw them on the wall.
The two snow monsters were knocked out by the impact. The flood dragon was naturally controlled by Ye Hongtian using the Concept of Water.
Through the water flow, Ye Hong Tian found that the two snow monsters were only at the sixth stage of true essence, and were extremely weak. He couldn't help but be surprised.
After understanding the strength of the two snow monsters, Ye Hong Tian used the Thunder Shocking Step. With a flash, he arrived behind the other snow monsters and struck out with his palm at the back of their heads at an extremely fast speed.
After knocking out these snow monsters, Ye Hong Tian also clearly understood the strength of these snow monsters. Not a single one of them surpassed the seventh level of Zhen Yuan. The one with the highest cultivation was also a seventh level Zhen Yuan snow monster. But with this cultivation, it was impossible for Ye Hong Tian to even withstand a single strike.
"This is strange. All the sawtooth demons I encountered in the City Lord's Mansion were so powerful. Logically speaking, the snow monsters here shouldn't be weak. But this..." Ye Hongtian scratched his head and looked at the snow monsters that had fallen to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the road he had just walked, then looked at the snow monsters beside his feet. Ye Hong Tian began to hesitate.
He was not sure that every snow monster was very weak, but he wanted to know what the snow monsters were doing inside. He was very conflicted.
"Forget it. I'll take out the beast cores of these snow monsters first. A true essence sixth stage beast core can be exchanged for 10 points."
And just as Ye Hong Tian was dissecting these snow monsters' bodies, these snow monsters strangely turned into snow water. There were no beast cores.
