Chapter 242

243. Chapter 243: Routines Never Go Out of Style, Hero Saves the Beauty

The two of them searched for another half an hour within the range marked on the map, but still had no gains.

The reason why it took so long to search was mainly because the Jingyang Mountain Range was too dangerous, and only Soul Masters could enter.

And Soul Masters were scarce, so it was impossible to spend too much time drawing maps.

This led to the fact that even though Orange had the best map, the deviation in many locations was extremely large.

A small deviation on the map could actually be a deviation of ten thousand meters.

The best way was to have someone lead the way.

Unfortunately, that Soul Tool Master who discovered the Cold Spring only took a hurried glance and just marked the approximate location on the map.

Of course, such treasure hunting would naturally not involve others; otherwise, if it were really as Xuan Ziwen guessed, and there were rare ores under the Cold Spring, then it was hard to say if they would have to share them with the other party……

And if they secretly found and confirmed it, then this credit would belong to their Third Laboratory.

……

Just when Orange wanted to be lazy again, Bai Zhou raised his eyebrows and pointed to a mountain peak in the distance, saying: "Let's go, let's go over there and take a look, climb over this mountain."

"Why, have to climb the mountain again, it's so tiring…… let's take a break……" Orange immediately pouted, clearly a bit unwilling.

"Let's go, I can feel that there seems to be a different kind of cold air over there; maybe we can find it."

Bai Zhou pulled Orange and walked forward.

Although he didn't use his powerful spiritual power to cheat, his perception hadn't been turned off; even separated by a mountain, Bai Zhou still felt that faint chill.

Maybe it really was the Cold Spring Orange was looking for.

"Alright, I'll trust you once…… if we still can't find it, you have to compensate me……" Orange looked exhausted and pouted slightly, but still chose to trust Bai Zhou.

The two of them moved forward again, and not long after, they climbed over a small mountain in front.

An inexplicable chill rushed towards them.

"Sss, it seems a bit cold……" Orange shivered inexplicably.

"Look over there!" Bai Zhou pointed to a small valley in the distance and said.

Orange looked up and was stunned for a moment.

Only to see in the distance, there was a miniature small valley, and the vegetation in that valley had a completely different white color from the surroundings.

Looking carefully, she discovered that all that white was frost and ice crystals.

And in the center of the small valley, there were wisps of white mist permeating; from their position, they could clearly see a pool of water with a diameter of about three meters in the center of the valley, and a spring was bubbling up in the center.

"This is…… Cold Spring!! Little White, we really found it!!"

Seeing this valley, Orange was so excited she almost cried.

"Whoosh—"

The next moment, before Bai Zhou could react, Orange had already deployed her flying soul tool and rushed quickly towards the Cold Spring in front, clearly impatient to complete the mission.

"Sister Orange, be careful!" Bai Zhou hurriedly reminded her.

Although the Cold Spring here was far inferior to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it could still be called a treasure land.

Generally speaking, such a place must be occupied by powerful soul beasts.

And Bai Zhou's spiritual power swept over, and sure enough, under the Cold Spring, he discovered a huge ice snake exuding a ten-thousand-year aura.

Sure enough.

When Orange rushed to the sky above the valley and intended to land, an accident occurred.

"Splash—"

Only to see the Cold Spring below suddenly explode, cold mist permeated, instantly submerging Orange and blocking her vision.

And in the cold mist, dozens of ice crystals carrying terrifying killing intent shot towards Orange.

"Ah—"

Orange exclaimed, hurriedly activating the shield of the defensive soul tool on her body. "Clang clang clang—" Countless ice crystals smashed onto Orange's shield, instantly causing fine cracks to appear on the shield.

Then it shattered with a bang.

Just the most ordinary attack almost shattered Orange's Level 5 defensive soul tool.

With such a terrifying attack, it was clear that this ice snake's bloodline was not low; although it was only a ten-thousand-year soul beast, its combat power was comparable to an ordinary soul beast of about twenty or thirty thousand years.

Although Orange was usually dazed, at this moment, she appeared extremely calm.

After being attacked, she instantly knew she was no match, hurriedly released another Level 5 defensive soul tool, and then controlled the flying soul tool to retreat.

However, it was already too late.

"Pfft—"

The next moment, a huge ice python with a body length of over twenty meters and a diameter of over thirty centimeters shot out, opened its huge mouth, and bit straight towards Orange.

"Oh no!" Seeing this, Orange was shocked and tried her best to dodge, but was completely unable to get rid of the other party's lock.

If it were normal circumstances, with Orange's ability, even if she wasn't a match, she would definitely have a way to deal with it or even escape.

But a Soul Master is at their most vulnerable moment when in a flying state; Orange consumed most of her soul power on the flying soul tool, and coupled with the fact that the flying soul tool wasn't very flexible, she simply couldn't dodge the ice python's attack.

"Sister Orange, be careful."

Just at the critical moment, a Blue Silver tentacle instantly broke through Orange's soul tool defense and wrapped directly around her slender waist.

"Ah—" Orange hadn't reacted at all, exclaimed, and was carried flying backwards.

She just happened to escape the ice python's attack range.

"Crack—" The giant python bit into empty air, then turned to look in the direction where Orange was, and was stunned for a moment.

Then it became a bit terrified……

Only to see in the sky not far away, a human Soul Master wearing blue-gold battle armor was floating; although no soul rings appeared around the other party, they exuded an incomparably terrifying might.

Not only that, behind the other party were roots of incomparably thick Blue Silver Grass, and each root of Blue Silver Grass was even larger than its body, which was very outrageous……

The moment it saw the other party, the huge ice python had thoughts of retreating in its heart.

"Sister Orange, are you okay?"

Bai Zhou was wearing cool Blue Silver crystal armor, floating in mid-air, and gently held Orange in his arms.

Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.

Although a hero saving a beauty is very cliché, no one can deny that this is one of the fastest and most effective ways to increase favorability.

"Ah, Little White…… how can you fly…… what are those behind you……" Orange naturally recognized Bai Zhou's voice, and while feeling relieved in her heart, she also appeared very surprised.

Especially seeing those thick vines behind Bai Zhou that looked like living things, each vine was thicker than that ice python, which was a bit outrageous……

Although Bai Zhou said he was a Soul Emperor……

But it wasn't like she hadn't seen Soul Emperors before, how could there be such an outrageous one……

Moreover, the other party hadn't even released their soul rings.

This was even more outrageous; how could a Soul Master have such might in a fight without releasing soul rings? What kind of monster was this?

"Hmph hmph, Sister Orange, this little bug actually dared to bully you, watch how I teach it a lesson!" Bai Zhou's arm hugged Orange's slender waist tightly, appearing filled with righteous indignation and extremely protective.

The next moment.

Bai Zhou waved his big hand.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The Blue Silver Grass behind him was like the sky collapsing, a dark mass, covering the small ice python.

The terrifying might swept across thousands of meters, birds and beasts scattered, fleeing one after another.
