Chapter 307 Testing
In the following days, Zhang Yang stayed in the fox group, not in a hurry to find a guardian, and always paid attention to Feiyu's changes.
For Feiyu, this is a critical moment. He has just transformed into a human form and might lose his soul if he is not careful.
A few months later, after confirming that Feiyu's health was stable, Zhang Yang taught him the cultivation method and went to find the guardian himself.
Zhang Yang had long noticed the abnormality of the underground hot spring. It was unexpected, but also reasonable, that there was a hot spring in the snowy surroundings.
In this world of heritage, everything cannot be interpreted according to common sense. Moreover, the hot springs here can move, which is incredible.
According to the elders of the fox tribe, there are always some strange movements near the hot springs. It was very strange at first, but people got used to it later.
The longer Zhang Yang stayed, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the hot spring.
That day, Zhang Yang taught Fei Yu the internal skills to refine elixirs and set out alone. He wanted to see the supporting power behind the mysterious hot spring.
Zhang Yang released his whole body's true energy to look for a heat source. In the ice and snow, it was not difficult to find a trace of heat source.
Soon, Zhang Yang arrived at the frozen land, where hot air was constantly coming out.
Zhang Yang hit it casually, and the thin ice surface cracked. Heat gushed out more violently, splashing onto the ice surface next to it. The ice surface melted quickly as if it was corroded.
With another strong shake, the ice broke and the water flow underneath appeared.
Zhang Yang looked at the rising steam in front of him and smiled slightly. Yes, this is where the hot spring is.
However, this result did not satisfy Zhang Yang. He drew out the Xuanyuan Sword, leaped into the air, and stood steadily in mid-air using the Qi under his feet as a fulcrum.
Zhang Yang began to swing his sword, and countless phantoms flashed from his body, dancing with swords one after another, dazzling people and making it impossible to see the sword skills clearly. In a bustling city, if it was just an ordinary hot spring, then Zhang Liang's actions would be purely a practice. But if this move could really lead to the secrets hidden under the hot spring, or perhaps get clues about the guardian, then his efforts would be rewarded.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Liang's ritualistic sword-swinging movement came to an abrupt halt, and a strong storm vortex immediately blew up under his feet.
This vortex was completely different from the previous ones. If the previous storm was like a funnel, this one was an inverted funnel. Zhang Liang stood on the top of the storm, continuously injecting strength. Soon, this frozen blizzard was like a drill, piercing the core of the earth.
As the storm deepened, hot air rose and clouds and mists swirled around, like a fairyland on earth. This exploration lasted for a long time, and they had already gone hundreds of meters deep, but still did not see any abnormalities. However, the water temperature became hotter and hotter, and it became increasingly difficult for Zhang Liang to transport energy.
Is this really just an ordinary hot spring? Just as Zhang Liang was considering whether to give up, a low roar came from deep underground.
Zhang Liang's eyes gleamed. This was the challenge he was looking forward to. He increased his energy output and even injected his true energy. However, the ground began to tremble. Zhang Liang felt a hint of resistance and smiled even more wildly. Could the other party finally hold back?
The roar from underground grew louder and louder, and the heat waves intensified. Zhang Liang sensed something was wrong, and quickly landed on the ground, retreating dozens of meters away from the heat flow.
Soon, accompanied by a roar, a huge creature broke out of the ground.
Zhang Liang stared at the monster in front of him. Its wet body was still dripping with water. It shook its body and shook its hair to get rid of all the water droplets on its body. After cleaning its body, the monster raised its eyes and looked at Zhang Liang. Only then did Zhang Liang see its true face.
The monster was huge, several feet tall, and resembled an ape in appearance, with white hair covering its head and limbs as red as fire. Based on experience, it should be an ancient beast.
"Are you the guardian of the sixth level?" Zhang Liang asked, staring at the monster. The way this guy appeared was too strange. He actually drilled out from hundreds of meters under the ice. It was hard not to associate him with a guardian.
"Are you a challenger?" The monster slowly raised his head and responded with a cold look.
"Yes, my name is Zhang Liang." Zhang Liang replied.
"Heh, Zhang Liang? You're quite capable to be able to find my hiding place." Zhu Yan still spoke lazily, with no intention of fighting.
This Zhu Yan is completely different from the four ferocious beasts in the previous level, exuding an elusive aura that is neither threatening nor calm.
Zhang Liang felt a little unhappy. Why were the guardians of the road to inheritance so arrogant?
"Tell me, what are the conditions for passing to the next level?" Zhang Liang's tone was cold and his aura was no less than that of a guardian who was ten times bigger than him.
"I am Zhu Yan. It's easy to pass the level. Just defeat me." This time, Zhu Yan looked at Zhang Liang directly with a calm tone.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" Zhang Liang said, without saying anything more, and directly summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and held it in his hand.
Zhu Yan was slightly surprised to see that the sword in Zhang Liang's hand was suspected to be the Xuanyuan Sword, but then he chuckled. Even if it was the Xuanyuan Sword, it was not worth mentioning in Zhu Yan's eyes.
Zhu Yan shook his body and sat back in his original position. Zhang Liang was unable to figure out Zhu Yan's background, so he could only start testing him.
Seeing that Zhu Yan did not move, Zhang Liang thought that it would be better to take the initiative. It would also help him to understand his opponent's habits.
Zhang Liang rushed towards Zhu Yan with his sword in hand, trying to test him. When he got close to Zhu Yan, he deliberately slowed down to observe Zhu Yan's reaction.
