Chapter 13 Playing with Liu Mei
"Senior Sister, is Bai Fuling really here?" He Yu's lips were frozen.
As soon as they climbed out of the cold pond, they came across a cave covered with solid ice, and their faces turned even paler.
It’s not that she doubted Liu Mei’s judgment, but it was such a cold place that even if Bai Fuling was here, she would freeze to death.
He Yu has earth spiritual roots, Zhang Ying has wood spiritual roots, and their spiritual powers have no advantage in the cold pond.
Moreover, one of them focused on the cultivation of formations, while the other practiced alchemy and talismans, and they focused more on the cultivation of the soul and mental strength. Therefore, their own spiritual power reserves were limited, and they could not withstand the cold air in the cold pond. Now the spiritual power in their bodies has become rigid and cannot be used.
He Yu originally thought that the situation would be better after arriving at the cave. Even if there was no land in the cave, at least there were rocks. Although the earth spiritual energy on the rocks was weak, it could still help him recover his spiritual power.
But now, in this ice cave, let alone recovering their spiritual power, it would be good if they didn’t freeze to death.
Zhang Ying not only practices alchemy and talismans, but also has the family's unique tracking skills. On that day, after Bai Fuling escaped, they searched for her based on her scent, but ended up only finding things that Bai Fuling had thrown away.
Zhang Ying used tracking skills, and after two days of chasing, the mark he left on Bai Fuling suddenly stopped responding.
"The mark is no longer reactive. Bai Fuling must have used some method to wash off the mark on her body." Zhang Ying said based on his own speculation.
Because the mark he left on Bai Fuling was unique to their family, even if Bai Fuling died or was eaten by a monster, he could still feel the location of the mark, so he was very sure that the mark on Bai Fuling had been removed.
Liu Mei asked, "Brother Zhang, is there anything that can remove the mark you left behind?"
"High-grade sky fire, cold pond, thunder tribulation above the Spiritual Transformation Stage, or the soul fire of cultivators above the Fusion Stage."
After Zhang Ying mentioned several possibilities, they silently crossed out the last two. Then they could only look in the direction of the strange fire and the cold pond.
Liu Mei has ice spiritual roots and is extremely sensitive to temperature. If there is a strange fire or a cold pond within a radius of 300 miles, she will not fail to react, but she did not feel any abnormal temperature nearby.
But can Bai Fuling really run three hundred miles away with her useless body in such a short time?
The search froze.
If the gravity talisman had not been activated and Liu Mei had not sensed her own breath, even Zhang Ying would not have been able to find Bai Fuling easily.
With the scent provided by Liu Mei and Zhang Ying's tracking skills, they were able to chase all the way here.
Zhang Ying said that the aura disappeared nearby. They wandered outside the valley for two days before they found the entrance to the valley.
They did not find white Poria cocos in the valley, but Zhang Ying said with certainty that there was the scent of white Poria cocos in the valley.
Liu Mei felt the breath of the cold pond at the first moment, and then led them to find the cold pond.
After seeing the cold pond, Zhang Ying became even more certain. He pointed at the cold pond and said, "Senior Sister Liu, this cold pond is of good quality. It will definitely be able to wash away the mark I left on her. I can guarantee that she must have been here, and she used the water from this cold pond to wash away the mark."
Liu Mei nodded, agreeing with Zhang Ying's words, and took out the geodesic instrument.
The geodesic instrument is specially used to test the changes and differences in the geographical environment. However, because of the cold pond in the valley, there is a distinct winter and summer, and the changes in the geographical environment must be very large. He Yu feels that the geodesic instrument is not very useful.
Who would have thought that after Liu Mei used the geodesic instrument, she said, "There is a cave three hundred feet below the cold pond. According to the geodesic instrument, the temperature in the cave is much higher than that of the cold pond. There should be underground fire, and Bai Fuling may be hiding there."
So Liu Mei brought them down.
He, a cultivator, almost lost half his life after crossing the three-hundred-foot cold pond. How could Bai Fuling withstand it? Therefore, He Yu believed that Bai Fuling had died long ago.
But Liu Mei was certain that Bai Fuling was still alive, so He Yu and the others naturally had nothing to say.
After all, Liu Mei's cultivation is higher than theirs, and Liu Mei is also the direct disciple of the master of the second peak. There are even rumors that Liu Mei is the closed disciple of an elder in their sect.
No matter which one it is, Liu Mei's status in the sect is much higher than that of ordinary inner disciples like them. They dare not offend Liu Mei, and at the same time they also tacitly acknowledge Liu Mei's dominant position in the group.
Now Liu Mei asked them to follow and chase, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Mei's initial guess was correct. There was indeed a cave under the cold pond, but would a cave with underground fire be frozen like this? This wall of ice all over the sky and the ground was simply despairing.
Liu Mei quickly glanced around and saw thick ice walls everywhere. She didn't find anything unusual, nor was there any scent of Bai Fuling.
But Liu Mei did not give up. She closed her eyes and used her spiritual sense to detect the entire cave. The cave was larger than she had imagined, and her current spiritual sense was unable to detect the situation of the entire cave.
Liu Mei sent out a beam of spiritual power to probe and found that there was no other scent in the entire cave except the scent of the three of them.
Could it be that she really guessed wrong? Bai Fuling had never been to this cave?
Liu Mei was a little hesitant for a moment, but she had suffered too much at the hands of Bai Fuling, so she would never dare to be careless even if there was only the slightest possibility.
Liu Mei had just finished exploring the situation in the cave when she heard He Yu's question.
Liu Mei was born with ice spiritual roots, and the cold pond was of great help to her. Just now, she had used the cold pond to heal many hidden injuries in her body, but the conditions of her two junior brothers were not very good.
One of them has earth spiritual roots, and the other has wood spiritual roots. Not only can they not withstand the chill of the cold pond, but even their spiritual power is frozen, making it impossible for them to circulate their spiritual power normally.
Seeing this, Liu Mei said, "Although the water in the cold pond is cold, it has a miraculous healing effect. Why don't you two junior brothers use the cold pond water to heal your injuries first."
As he spoke, he sent out two streams of spiritual power to help them activate the frozen spiritual power in their bodies.
Realizing that the rigid spiritual power in their bodies was loosening, He Yu and the others immediately circulated their spiritual power and found that, just as Liu Mei said, the cold pond water did have a healing effect. So they sat cross-legged and used the cold pond water to heal their wounds.
Liu Mei raised her hand and set up a barrier, and then set up two basic killing formations and trapping formations outside the barrier.
With these two formations and barriers, it can be ensured that cultivators and monsters below the Jindan stage cannot harm them. If cultivators and monsters in the Jindan stage appear, she will be able to sense it.
After making sure it was safe, Liu Mei walked towards the depths of the cave.
She had just used her spiritual sense to explore, and found that there were three small caves in the cave, facing different directions. Because her spiritual sense range was too small, she couldn't explore the whole picture, so she decided to go and see it herself.
Based on her own sensitivity to temperature, she first went to the cave on the far left. The cave was very shallow and she reached the end in less than a hundred feet.
Liu Mei has always been cautious. She used her spiritual power to probe into the ice wall and found that the ice on the inner wall was much thicker. The ice on the walls on the left and right sides was about three feet thick, but the ice on the inner wall was more than a hundred feet thick.
The abnormal behavior of the ice wall made Liu Mei suspicious, so she swung her sword towards the ice wall.
Liu Mei split the ice wall inward about ten feet. There was no major change in the geodesic instrument, but Liu Mei felt something was wrong, so she swung out a few more swords.
The ice walls were chopped down one after another, and the caves were dug more than ten feet deeper. Liu Mei used her spiritual power to detect it, but found nothing unusual. She then used a geodesic instrument to detect it, but found something wrong.
The red needle on the geodesic instrument pointed to scale three, which meant that the surface temperature here was not low and it was impossible for it to freeze, but the ice here was unusually thick.
Since there is a problem, let's see where the problem lies.
Liu Mei made up her mind and raised her sword again.
The cave was dug deeper and deeper, and the surface temperature became higher and higher. The situation was the same as what Liu Mei had detected when she was up there. There must be underground fire here.
Half an hour later, Liu Mei finally split open the ice wall.
There is indeed underground fire deep in the cave, but the quality of the underground fire is very ordinary, otherwise it would not have been frozen into such thick ice by humans.
Is it worth the effort to hide such an ordinary underground fire?
The five-hundred-foot-deep cave was blocked with ice for four hundred feet.
Who blocked the ice? What was the purpose? How could Bai Fuling have such strength?
However, at this moment, Liu Mei saw the words Bai Fuling left for her.
"Senior Sister Liu, you must be very tired after digging more than 400 feet of ice. Have you exhausted all your spiritual energy?
"But it doesn't matter. The water here is rich in spiritual energy, so your spiritual power will be replenished quickly."
"Besides, there is a cold pond here. Whether it is for absorbing spiritual power or practicing, it will be of great benefit to your ice spiritual roots. So, Junior Sister, I will not delay you from practicing. Junior Sister, I will go first. We will meet again if we are lucky."
Because Bai Fuling has no spiritual power, the words are written with ink. You don't need to guess who came up with this idea.
After Bai Fuling refined the seven-colored beast pill into her dantian, she asked Qinghe what to do next.
Qing He was still angry at the time, so he said sarcastically, "Whatever. They will be here in about two hours. If you want to wait and fight with them before leaving, then wait. If you want to leave now, then leave now."
According to Bai Fuling, running away is definitely the best strategy, but she just offended Qinghe, so she didn't dare to say anything casually, so she asked in a servile manner, "Brother Qinghe, let's do whatever you think is best. I will listen to you."
This obedient attitude made Qinghe feel much better.
Given Qinghe's temper, he would definitely wait for them to come and fight him. If he couldn't kill them, he would at least trap them to death.
But this girl was very timid. Her legs went weak when she heard Liu Mei. She would definitely not be able to fight with them, but she could play a trick on them.
After Qinghe made the decision, he made a plan instantly.
At that time, the Snow Spirit Rat was in a freezing period because it had absorbed the beast pill, so Qinghe took advantage of this.
Qinghe also asked the golden bamboo fish to drain all the water in the pond, taking away what could be taken away, and using what could not be taken away to freeze the cave.
Qinghe calculated it even more accurately. Liu Mei had ice spiritual roots and was sensitive to temperature. After coming in, she would definitely go towards the cave of the underground fire.
The thick ice was actually useless. Qinghe knew that Liu Mei was cautious and would definitely investigate if she noticed something was wrong, so he just used up Liu Mei's spiritual power and wasted her time.
After hearing Qinghe's plan, Bai Fuling was so shocked that she almost died.
As she was writing, she said, "Qinghe, you are such a jerk! Not only did you make me miss an hour of work, but you also wrote a letter to mock me. This Liu Mei must be so angry that she is vomiting blood."
Qing He commented calmly, "She is determined and will not bleed over such a small matter."
Liu Mei was indeed just as Qinghe said, she didn't get so angry that she vomited blood over such a small matter.
Liu Mei stood there with a cold breath, holding the sword tightly in her hand, as if she wanted to crush the sword.
He was just teasing her! Very good, Bai Fuling, you are indeed very good!
