Chapter 407 Smurf
Xiao Zi and the rat man worked for a long time deep in the cave, sorting the treasures collected by the white bear into different categories.
Although there were many monster skeletons scattered around that were left over by the white bear, there were indeed many good things found -
There were several well-preserved snow ginsengs, several pieces of high-quality cold iron ore, and even a few bottles of well-sealed spiritual liquids.
But unfortunately, most herbs are not properly preserved, their medicinal properties are lost, and they even become moldy and withered.
"Squeak! Look at this!" The rat man excitedly held up a small box inlaid with gems.
Xiao Zi came over and gently opened the lid of the box with her claws. Inside lay three crystal-clear pills, emitting a faint fragrance.
Although I don’t know its specific effects, I can tell from its appearance that it is not an ordinary product.
The several sets of Terran armor stacked on the other side were not so lucky.
Xiao Zi just used his tail to sweep away the dust on it, and the whole set of armor shattered into pieces. It was obvious that it had been eroded by time and was unrecognizable.
"Roar..." Xiao Zi shook his tail in disappointment.
The rat man was sharp-eyed and found a complete storage ring among the armor fragments.
It picked it up like a treasure, ready to show off to the two adults later.
After they gathered all the available resources together, Xiao Zi couldn't wait to run to where Hu Qing and the others were.
The rat man followed behind happily, holding some of the most valuable treasures.
But when they arrived at the location of the Ice Dew Flower, the scene before them made the two little guys stunned -
Hu Qing and Gu Yang still maintained their cultivation postures, but their skin had turned into a strange ice blue, and thick white mist lingered around them.
What's even more terrifying is that their eyebrows and hair ends are covered with a thin layer of frost, making them look like two ice sculptures.
"Roar?!" Xiao Zi circled around the two of them anxiously, but didn't dare to touch them rashly.
The rat man picked up the crystal ice dew flower stem on the ground and held it in front of Xiao Zi like a treasure.
The flower stem glowed with a faint blue light in the dim cave, and a few drops of milky white juice oozed from the broken end, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
"Lord Long," the rat man said, his eyes rolling, "you two must have eaten this flower to become like this. This stem must also have miraculous effects, otherwise we..."
Xiao Zi stared at the flower stem and her throat rolled unconsciously.
It stretched out its claws and scratched a few crooked words on the ground: "Wait until they wake up."
The smile on Rat Man's face froze. He had originally planned to split the flower stem profits with Xiao Zi 20:80—
I take 20% and Xiao Zi takes 80%.
After all, even masters like Hu Qing and Gu Yang took it directly, so this spiritual object must be extraordinary.
"well,"
The rat man sighed pretentiously and whispered in Xiao Zi's ear, "Master Long, wait until the two adults wake up before taking the medicine. It will take time for the medicine to be absorbed.
I remember... they came to the snowy mountains in a hurry to find something, right? Time waits for no one!
Xiao Zi's tail twitched restlessly twice, and her eyes moved back and forth between her unconscious master and the tempting flower stem.
Seeing this, the rat man quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Look, if you take it now, you might be able to break through the realm.
Not only will it help the two adults wake up sooner, but it will also protect them!"
Xiao Zi's claws rubbed the ground eagerly, and finally he couldn't help but snatch the ice dew flower stem from the rat man's hand.
But it did not swallow it immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, it used its sharp claws to break off a piece about 20% of its size and threw it to the ratman.
The rat man stared at the crystal clear flower stem with eyes wide open in disbelief.
He never expected that this usually greedy purple dragon would actually take the initiative to share with him!
"This... this... is real..." The rat man was so excited that he was incoherent. As if afraid that Xiao Zi would go back on her word, he stuffed the flower stem into his mouth.
The flower stem melts in your mouth, turning into a stream of cool liquid that slides down your throat.
In an instant, all the hair on the rat man's body stood up, and an extremely powerful cold current exploded in his body!
“Squeak—Fuck!!”
He curled up in pain, feeling as if his internal organs were about to freeze into ice.
He caught a glimpse of Hu Qing and the other man sitting cross-legged and regulating their breathing. The rat man endured the pain, imitated them and assumed the training posture, starting to guide the violent medicinal power in his body.
Xiao Zi looked at him with her eyes rolling around. It seemed that he was not poisonous!
Then, seeing this, he threw the remaining flower stems into his mouth without hesitation.
The flower stem turned into a cold current the moment it touched the tongue, rushing straight down the throat to the dantian!
"Woo..."
Xiao Zi let out a painful whimper, and his huge dragon body began to tremble violently.
It immediately shrank its body to the size of a house cat, curling up into a purple ball.
Under the dense dragon scales, one can faintly see ice-blue light flowing through the flesh and blood, and every flow makes the scales more crystal clear.
The cave fell into an eerie silence, with only the occasional dripping sound of melted snow on the rock wall.
The ice fog in the cave grew thicker, and tiny ice crystals were suspended in the air, shimmering in the dim light.
Gu Yang slowly opened his eyes, and the golden light flowing in his pupils illuminated the surrounding ice crystals like a galaxy.
He took a deep breath, and the cool mist rushed into his lungs, making him feel a long-lost sense of refreshment.
The temperature around him had become unbearably hot, as if he were in midsummer.
"The effect of this medicine..." Gu Yang stretched his muscles and bones, and his joints made a crisp popping sound.
He turned to look at his companion beside him and was stunned -
Hu Qing's entire body turned ice blue, even his eyelashes were frosted with frost, making him look like an ice sculpture.
Xiao Zi's purple scales have completely turned indigo blue, and now it seems more appropriate to call it "Xiao Lan";
The funniest one is the rat man. His originally gray fur now glows with a strange blue light, just like a plush toy that has been ruined by dye.
Gu Yang subconsciously lowered his head to check himself, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his arm had a normal skin color.
"Is this a sign of the drug's absorption? No, what did these two little guys eat?"
Then he realized that the ice dew flower stem he had thrown on the ground had disappeared.
He shook his head. He didn't expect these two guys to be so greedy that they even ate the stems of the ice dew flowers. However, judging from their appearance, the medicinal effect should be no worse than that of the petals.
Thinking of this, he felt a little distressed, his thighs almost swollen from slapping, and said:
"Hiss... Damn it, what a loss!"
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and looked at Hu Qing on the ground, with a sly smile on his face.
He took out a crystal photo stone from the depths of his storage ring. This was the treasure he had begged from his master, and it was said that it could record the scene in front of him.
"Hehe..." Gu Yang activated the photo stone cunningly, circling around the three "Blue Elves" and taking pictures. "Sword Master Hu has finally met his end!"
He deliberately gave Hu Qing a close-up——
The swordsman, who always had an outstanding temperament, now had a blue complexion, as if he had just been fished out of a dye vat.
The stupid look of Xiao Zi curled up in a ball was also recorded in full, especially the half of its tongue that was unconsciously stuck out, with ice chips on it.
"When we get back, we have to play it on repeat in the Central Region Square... so that Master Li, Master Xin, and the others can see it for themselves..."
Gu Yang was thinking happily when he suddenly heard a faint "click" sound.
A crack appeared on the surface of the photo stone!
"Oh shit!" Gu Yang tried to stop recording in a panic, but found that the treasure had begun to overheat.
Master Xin did say that this thing would become less with each use, but I didn't expect it to be so useless.
Just when he was feeling distressed, Hu Qing's eyelids suddenly moved.
Gu Yang stuffed the photo stone back into the storage ring in a lightning-fast manner, sat back down as if nothing had happened, and even closed his eyes.
"Guyang." Hu Qing's cold voice sounded, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Ah? What? I fell asleep!" Gu Yang pretended to "wake up" in a pretentious manner, and his acting was so exaggerated that it was outrageous.
Hu Qing looked around for a long time in confusion but didn't find anything unusual, so he had to give up. It seemed to be an illusion.
He stretched his muscles and his body made a crackling sound. This ice dew flower was indeed effective.
He is no longer afraid of the cold, and even feels that the surroundings are a bit hot and humid.
Xiao Zi and Shu Ren also woke up at this time, looking at Hu Qing Guyang in front of them with a confused look on their faces.
The rat-man suddenly noticed the color of his own fur and jumped up with a startled squeak;
Xiao Zi licked her discolored scales curiously, and when she found that the taste was no different, she sneezed in disappointment.
