Chapter 395

The coldness of the Ice Abyss water area is far more aggressive than that of the land.

Xia Hong realized this point when he developed the Wuyuan water area.

The coldness of the land can at least be resisted by humans with fire and clothing. If they break through to the Cold-Resisting Realm, relying on the reshaped skin-membrane to resist the cold air and cold light of the outside world, there is basically no problem of being afraid of the cold during the day.

But the water area won't work!

First of all, after entering the water area, fire and clothing are invalid;

Secondly, the Ice Abyss water area is covered by transparent solid ice all year round. Under normal circumstances, it should be able to isolate the cold air from the outside world, but don't forget that most of the cold air in the Ice Abyss originates from the sun in the sky. That sun projects cold light. In other words, the light source is the biggest source of cold.

The transparent ice surface cannot isolate the cold light projected by the sun, but because of its transparent characteristics, it forms an effect similar to a spotlight mirror, causing the water flow below to absorb those cold lights doubly.

And the thicker the ice surface, the stronger the spotlight effect, and the more cold light the water flow below absorbs. In this way, the temperature of the water area under the ice surface has dropped to an unimaginable degree.

Xia Hong drove away that Red Carp monster last year and took down the Wuyuan water area. He went down to explore the water for the first time. So at this moment, going down to the Bai Hu Pool and feeling the bone-chilling cold of the water area, no look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Even I feel bone-chilling, let alone the Cold-Resisting Realm. At most, they can only stay for a few minutes. If the time is long, they will definitely be frozen to death."

From this point, it seems that the strength of aquatic cold beasts is generally stronger than that of land cold beasts. It is estimated that it is forced out by the environment. If you don't have any skills, you can't survive at all.

With that black flood dragon entrenched here, it is naturally impossible for there to be any other powerful existence under the water. The Bai Hu Pool is very deep. Xia Hong dived down for about five hundred meters before reaching the bottom, and then began to search carefully.

Soon, he found a huge underwater cave entrance.

That cave entrance was stuck to the left side of the bottom of the pool, with a diameter of about fifty meters. The water flow only submerged half of it. There was clearly a huge cave inside.

Looking at the sharp claw marks around the cave entrance, Xia Hong's eyes lit up instantly.

That black flood dragon really made a nest for itself under the water!

Xia Hong took a deep breath, swam toward the cave entrance quickly, and soon surfaced at the cave entrance. With his bone momentum fully opened, he first used high temperature to steam dry the water on his body, then stepped on the water surface and walked directly into the cave entrance.

After entering the cave entrance, a cave space more than three hundred meters high and five or six hundred meters wide came into view.

Xia Hong looked around the cave, and when his eyes swept to the deep left side of the cave, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression became incredibly excited.

In the deep left side of the cave, there were twenty-four precious spiritual plants emitting fluorescence; those spiritual plants had extremely thick roots and stems, with heights of tens or even hundreds of meters, and special ores of various colors were scattered all over the ground, with large diameters of five or six meters and small ones only the size of a fist;

Not finished yet, behind those spiritual plants, there was a black flood dragon lying on the ground in a coiled shape.

It wasn't the one that fought with him just now, who else could it be?

That black dragon is back!

Xia Hong's mind tightened instantly, and he immediately lifted the Cold Blood Sword in his hand.

But seeing that the flood dragon didn't move, he immediately looked at it suspiciously.

At this look, his expression relaxed immediately.

But it only relaxed for a few seconds, and his expression became even more excited instantly.

That was actually a complete dragon molting, from the bulge on the forehead to the four sharp claws, and then to the black scales covering the whole body, exactly the same as the black dragon that just fought with him.

"Dragons are naturally fond of hiding treasures. The rumors are true. That black dragon actually left so many treasures in its old nest. Made a fortune, this time it's really made a fortune!"

Xia Hong rarely loses his composure like this. It is mainly because he led Does Does Da Xia all the way from the dirt slope to today, and he really hasn't picked up such a big bargain.

If you have to argue, the silver mine on the north slope of the mountain wall counts as one time, but with his strength at that time, he was actually only one step away from silver. That silver mine can at most be considered icing on the cake. How can it compare with these things in front of him?

Not to mention the ores of various colors all over the ground, just say the twenty-four spiritual plants. Inside, there was a black Heavenly Sun Branch exactly the same as the one on the water surface of the Bai Hu Pool, and nine Heavenly Sun Fruits on it hadn't been picked yet.

Although Xia Hong didn't know the other twenty-three, being able to be hidden in the cave by the black flood dragon together with the Heavenly Sun Branch, one can imagine that it must be very precious.

Xia Hong's expression flickered. He suddenly thought of something, quickly flipped through the ores on the ground, checked all the stones emitting golden light one by one, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes instantly.

"What a pity!"

The system can detect resource-type ores. Clearly, there is no gold in these stones emitting golden light.

Xia Hong shook his head slightly, scolded himself for being too greedy, continued to walk forward, and checked the dragon molting.

The hardness of the black scales on this dragon molting is not as good as the 58 pieces he collected just now, but the defensive ability is at least about two Jun, which is very suitable for Cold-Resisting Realm members to make battle armor.

The key is that this giant dragon molting is large enough, with a length of at least six hundred meters. It can at least peel off more than four thousand scales. These scales have a diameter of about forty centimeters. Using iron as an auxiliary material, it can at least make more than a thousand sets of battle armor.

And not only the scales, but there is also a layer of soft molting as thin as a cicada's wing under the scales. Whether it is used for protective gear or clothing, it is an excellent material.

Maybe it can even be used as medicinal material!

Xia Hong suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at this giant dragon molting in front of him, and suddenly thought of something, his expression thoughtful.

"So not all beast kings have very small bodies. For example, that Red Carp monster in the Wuyuan water area has a body length of more than two hundred meters; the black flood dragon just now also has a body length of more than a thousand meters. This dragon molting should be left by it in the previous stage, so its body length in the previous stage was more than six hundred meters!"

When fighting with that Red Carp monster last time, Xia Hong was puzzled in his heart.

The beast kings he had fought before were basically divided into two forms: one is the true form, with a very small body; the other is the battle form, where the body can expand hundreds of times instantly.

But that Red Carp monster, from appearing, fighting, to finally escaping, maintained a body length of more than two hundred meters, which was obviously different from other beast kings.

Of course, today's black flood dragon is also like this.

"The Red Blood Demon Dragon in Qinghe Pu also has a body length of more than a thousand zhang, but it must be a realm above the beast king level, basically having no reference value. So the conclusions I can draw are probably two.

One is that aquatic cold beasts and land cold beasts are completely two species, so when they reach the beast king level, their body sizes are also completely different;

The other is the bloodline problem. The higher the bloodline of the cold beast, the larger the body size at the beast king level!"

Red Carp, black flood dragon, if you count the Red Blood Demon Dragon in Qinghe Pu, from the bloodline point of view, these three are obviously higher than any beast king he had fought before, so Xia Hong had the second conclusion.

"It's a pity that I haven't been able to successfully behead a beast king in the water area until now. If I can kill one and see if their bones have changed, I can basically get the answer!"

Xia Hong's brows sank slightly. In terms of hard strength, whether it was the Red Carp monster last year or the black flood dragon today, they were not his opponents.

The problem is that these beast kings in the water have extremely high intelligence. Once they find they can't beat them, they escape immediately. And they have many ways to escape. Plus, the water area is their home field. It is indeed incredibly difficult to kill them.

"Can only take it slowly. Still, take these things away first. Heavenly Sun Fruits and other mature spiritual plants, including small ores, and soft molting, can be taken away first. Others..."

Looking at the scales on the dragon molting and the giant ores with a diameter of more than half a meter on the ground, Xia Hong was in a dilemma.

"It's been almost ten years since I came to the Ice Abyss, and I haven't even got a storage ring. Am I the most failed transmigrator?"

Xia Hong suddenly mocked himself, then shook his head and smiled low, secretly thinking that in this world, whether there is a storage ring or not is another matter, he thinks too much.

"This place is closest to Heyin, can only let Xiao Kangcheng send some people over to transport the things back to Ba Shang first!"

Heyin was originally a village-level camp at the southernmost end of the Bai Song Camp, bordering Mo'ao Mountain. Jiang Xia Town divided it to Does Does Da Xia in July, so it has now become a station for Does Does Da Xia.

Xiao Kangcheng did well in Zhaoyang over the past year. Borrowing the Heyin matter in July, Xia Chuan promoted him to the Ba Shang Hunting Division Mountain Official, and also concurrently served as the Heyin Garrison Commander.

Xia Hong has stayed in Xia City for this period of time, so he is very clear about personnel transfers.

After making up his mind, he didn't waste time anymore and began to pack up.

………………

Does Does Da Xia Year 8, September 10th, first half of the night.

The southeast end of Mo'ao Mountain, about twenty kilometers deep in the snow forest.

"Roar…………"

The originally silent snow forest was suddenly awakened by a roar.

The icicles on the surrounding big trees fell one after another, making crisp sounds.

A Rock-Armored Bear, standing upright, about seven or eight meters long, covered in yellow mane, was standing next to a big tree and roaring endlessly.
