244. Chapter 244: Under the Cold Spring, Cold Iron Ore Vein

"Whoosh~"

Seeing such a terrifying formation, the ice python was scared out of its wits and wanted to flee back into the Cold Spring.

However, for Bai Zhou, everything within his line of sight was covered by Blue Silver Grass.

"Boom—"

Only to see the valley where the Cold Spring was located explode, soil flew everywhere, and dozens of Blue Silver Grass roots shot out, instantly wrapping around the ice python.

Immediately after, dozens of Blue Silver Grass roots on Bai Zhou's side were like golden cudgels, crashing down with a bang.

"Bang bang bang—"

In an instant, the huge ice python was beaten until its ice armor flew everywhere.

"Pfft—"

In just a few seconds, the ice python was directly smashed to pieces by countless Blue Silver Grass vines.

A pitch-black soul ring appeared and was directly collected by Bai Zhou.

A ten-thousand-year ice-attribute soul ring was still very useful and had a relatively high value; it would be a waste not to take it.

From Bai Zhou's attack to the end, the whole process didn't exceed ten breaths, and he directly took down a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

"So…… so powerful……"

Seeing such a cool scene, Orange's eyes were filled with worship.

Bai Zhou had told her that his second martial soul was the Blue Silver Emperor.

But Bai Zhou hadn't said that his Blue Silver Emperor was so strong!! This was the strength of a Shrek genius!

It was truly too cool! "Are you okay?"

Bai Zhou solved that ice python, and only then did he hold Orange and land slowly, while simultaneously deactivating the Blue Silver crystal armor, appearing calm and composed.

He had fiercely shown off.

"I'm, I'm okay…… thank you……" Orange was still a bit unresponsive at this moment, appearing to have lingering fears.

Of course, it wasn't because she was scared by the ice python, but because she was scared by Bai Zhou……

However, today she had also completely witnessed Bai Zhou's true strength; it was simply too powerful and too handsome.

Especially the moment Bai Zhou appeared and saved her, with such a powerful boy protecting her, who could withstand this……

"Alright, let's go complete the mission first." Bai Zhou gently picked up Orange and flew towards the Cold Spring in the valley.

"Mmm~"

Orange nodded gently, didn't ask anything more, but very obediently curled up in Bai Zhou's arms, secretly stealing glances at Bai Zhou's profile; the more she looked, the more she liked him, and the more her heart fluttered.

Watching and watching, her legs began to rub subconsciously……

……

A moment later, Bai Zhou brought Orange and landed in the valley.

In the valley, there was a small Cold Spring.

"Bubble bubble……"

The Cold Spring wasn't big, constantly bubbling with cold air and bubbles; although cold, it was only unbearable for ordinary people, and for a Soul Master, it was just a little bit colder, far inferior to the Cold Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"I'll use a soul tool to detect it first, to see if there is any Ice Soul Cold Iron." Orange took out a few small detection soul tools and threw them directly into the Cold Spring.

Although she was very curious about Bai Zhou and had many doubts in her heart, she also knew that the mission was important; as long as the mission was completed, then the remaining time could be spent however she and Bai Zhou wanted.

There were no intelligent detection robots in this world yet.

So Orange's soul tools were all connected by wires, releasing them downwards bit by bit.

Bai Zhou didn't have much research on this kind of thing, and didn't know the principle, so he could only wait idly on the side.

From time to time, he would admire Orange's face; well, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get tired of it.

"Youth is truly good~" Bai Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the side.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Zhou hurriedly walked over and asked. "The ice-cold power below seems to have exceeded the limit that the soul tool can withstand, and the depth has exceeded fifty meters; it can't be detected……" Orange held the metal wire in her hand, looking at Bai Zhou with longing eyes, feeling a bit helpless for a moment.

According to Xuan Ziwen's analysis, a Cold Spring with such a small area would be at most twenty or thirty meters deep.

She didn't expect it to exceed fifty meters; to detect this, she would at least need a Level 6 ore detector.

She was only Level 5……

Having finally found the Cold Spring, but now unable to detect it, meant the mission had failed; for a moment, it made her feel a bit unacceptable and aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, since the detector is useless, I'll go down and take a look." Seeing Orange looking like she was about to cry, Bai Zhou hurriedly walked up to comfort her.

"Ah, no, no, it's too deep, and it's so cold, you……"

"Splash—"

Before Orange could finish her sentence, Bai Zhou had already jumped into the Cold Spring, which could be said to be swift and decisive.

It directly left Orange completely stunned.

"Little White! What are you doing, come back quickly!"

Orange hurriedly lay on the edge of the Cold Spring and shouted loudly, feeling incomparably worried in her heart.

Although she knew Bai Zhou was very strong, this Cold Spring was unfathomable, and who knew what terrifying things were below……

Unfortunately, the only answer to her was a bubble bubbling with cold air.

……

"Bubble bubble~"

Bai Zhou's figure sank rapidly, with no waves in his heart.

However, he also had to admit that this Cold Spring still had something to it.

On the surface, it looked like trash, but it was unfathomable, and the spring water even had the effect of shielding spiritual power.

Even his spiritual power could only extend about a thousand meters.

According to his investigation, the depth of this Cold Spring actually exceeded two hundred meters! The Cold Spring here was different from ordinary water; this kind of water didn't freeze at minus dozens of degrees, and its density was seven or eight times that of water.

At a depth of over two hundred meters, even an average Soul Saint would find it difficult to withstand the pressure, let alone an ordinary detection soul tool.

However, this bit of pressure was just so-so for Bai Zhou.

One hundred meters.

One hundred and fifty meters.

Soon, Bai Zhou dived to the bottom of the Cold Spring.

Although his vision was blocked, Bai Zhou could see that there were dense silver-white ores at the bottom, and each piece of ore exuded a very terrifying ice-cold power; although it couldn't compare to the Ultimate Ice, it was still a top-grade among ice attributes.

Not only at the bottom of the Cold Spring, but within a radius of hundreds of meters, it was all this kind of ore, buried underneath.

"Here, there is actually a vein of Ice Soul Cold Iron!!!"

Bai Zhou was also fiercely shocked.

Ice Soul Cold Iron could be used as a material for making Level 8 soul tools! And now, there was actually a vein here! This value could be said to be immeasurable!

Even Bai Zhou was a bit tempted.

If he took all these veins away, he would definitely be able to get rich overnight! With his ability, he could naturally do this, but if he did, this Cold Spring land would probably collapse completely.

Although this Ice Soul Cold Iron was inherently a non-renewable resource, Bai Zhou didn't do that.

On one hand, because his mission this time was just to take a few samples; if he took all the Ice Soul Cold Iron here, he would have to share it with Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, and it would also completely expose his strength……

This would easily arouse the vigilance of others.

On the other hand, his ambition lay in taking over the entire Sun Moon Empire, not just this little bit of a small vein.

Being greedy was fine, but being greedy for such a small thing was really unnecessary.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhou withdrew his thoughts, and finally used Blue Silver Grass to dig out more than ten cubic meters of ore to store, which could be considered bringing some local specialties as a gift for Xian Lin'er.

Immediately after, he chose a small piece of ore to use for completing this mission; anyway, it was just a sample, which was enough.

Finally, he used his spiritual power to investigate again, and after confirming there were no other special treasures, he started his return journey.
