Strange mountains and rivers

After returning to the Ice and Fire Island, Chen Huaisheng felt much more relaxed.

The harvest in the secret realm exceeded expectations, which made people overjoyed, especially since he actually broke through to the middle stage of Soul Condensation. This alone was worth a thousand times the value, not to mention the progress of Tong Tong, Ling Fan and others.

As for the Diyang Fire Rock, Chen Huaisheng valued it very much before, but now he thinks that it is good to have it, but if he doesn’t have it, he can find another opportunity next time, and he won’t force it.

Yan Yunxing accompanied Chen Huaisheng to the Ice and Fire Lake on Ice and Fire Island to obtain the Diyang Fire Rock, which was also a gesture of the Holy Fire Sect.

The Holy Fire Sect was somewhat embarrassed about declining and delaying the signing of the alliance. After all, Chen Huaisheng had helped the Holy Fire Sect a lot, and Yan Chixing had intended to sign the contract before, but now it has been shelved. Although a loophole has been left, the conditions will not be fulfilled until three years later.

Chen Huaisheng is not a fool, and of course he can understand some of the changes in the matter, so letting Yan Yunxing accompany Chen Huaisheng to the Ice and Fire Lake to retrieve the treasure is also a kind of comfort.

Yan Yunxing was very happy to have this trip with Chen Huaisheng. It didn't matter whether he could get it or not. This trip would also bring the two sides closer together.

The boat trip was smooth and the weather was good when Chen Huaisheng and Yan Yun were sailing to Dengdao Island. It was not until they were about to step into the thirty miles around the Ice and Fire Lake that the weather began to deteriorate. Dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning struck, and heavy rain poured down, shrouding the entire island in a vast white fog.

Yan Yunxing was accustomed to this kind of weather on the island. The sea was like this: the sun was shining brightly one hour and it was pouring rain the next. God's mood would never change according to your will.

We found a cave to shelter from the rain, which was specially prepared for when encountering bad weather while on the island.

The bonfire was lit, and the best meat cut from several ringed star rays and night sand demon sharks was hung on wooden sticks and roasted over the fire. After a moment, a strong spiritual aroma was emitted.

Chen Huaisheng killed both the Ringed Star Ray and the Night Sand Demon Shark when they were close to the coast. After a few strikes of thunder, even though they were three feet under the water, they were still knocked unconscious by Chen Huaisheng's thunder and floated to the surface, which made Yan Yunxing amazed.

"Huaisheng, your thunder method is too explosive. I feel that even Senior Brother Qu may not be able to withstand your attack. It went straight into the sea three feet below the water. I only had time to see the Night Sand Demon Shark. How come it floated up with its belly turned upside down in the blink of an eye?" Yan Yunxing shook his head. "If it is out of water, the Night Sand Demon Shark is nothing, but in the sea, it is really hard to kill it. But you can do it easily. The power of your magic is far better than your spiritual realm strength, right?"

Yan Yunxing was a connoisseur and could tell at a glance that Chen Huaisheng's magical combat power was far beyond the spiritual realm level. This kind of person was the most dangerous. Once fighting began, they could kill people of a higher level and catch you off guard.

"Almost the same, slightly stronger, but not as mysterious as you say. As long as we take precautions, it is not easy to turn this advantage into a chance of winning." Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "Everything still has to be based on the strength of the spiritual realm. Without this, everything is empty."

Chen Huaisheng didn't want to talk about this, and Yan Yunxing didn't force him. "Take a short rest. When the rain stops, we can continue on our way. But I want to remind you of one thing. I'm not sure if the tidal peak will have any impact on the Ice and Fire Lake. But I have a feeling that this heavy rain is strange. In normal years, there shouldn't be such heavy rain. Look at the thunder and lightning, it's like the one on Leiyang Island. I'm really worried that it will wake up the sleeping monster insects in the lake..."

Chen Huaisheng never dared to be careless about things he didn't understand or was unfamiliar with. This kind of demon insect that could live in such an extreme environment as the Ice and Fire Lake must be no simple matter how careful he was.

"Uh, Master Xiaoyan, is there anything special about the Fire Scale Demon Maggot and the Cold Aphid Moth?" Chen Huaisheng asked, "What do they look like?"

"I haven't seen one either, but my brother told me that the Fire Scale Monster Maggots look similar to ordinary flesh maggots, but they are golden in color and have a layer of transparent, shiny scales on the outside. However, they are much larger, about half a foot long, and can move around in the air on their own. The Cold Aphid Moth is grayish white, the same shape as an ordinary moth, with ice-essence scales on its body, and is about the size of a cattail leaf fan."

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's serious expression, Yan Yunxing quickly eased the atmosphere: "Hey, Huaisheng, don't be nervous. The last time my brother saw these two monster insects was thirty years ago. At that time, the Ice and Fire Lake erupted, and the Yuanjiang and ice powder rushed hundreds of feet into the sky, bringing these two monster insects out. These monster insects will not appear when the earth dragon shakes or the Yuanjiang erupts. You don't have to worry too much."

"Master Xiaoyan, I have never seen or come into contact with monster insects, but judging by the word 'monster', these things are probably no less dangerous than monster beasts, or even more dangerous. First, there are too many of them, and second, they are rare. We have never dealt with them before. If we run into one, wouldn't we be caught off guard and suffer a great loss?"

Chen Huaisheng groaned, "So we still have to be careful. It's best if we don't encounter it. If we do, we have to be fully prepared."

Chen Huaisheng's words also made Yan Yunxing nervous. He was also wearing an ice silkworm and fire shark robe, which he had not planned to wear originally, but he quickly put it on.

Chen Huaisheng asked about the characteristics of these two evil insects, but according to Yan Yunxing, the number of them Yan Chixing encountered at that time was not large, and Yan Chixing had already reached the state of Runpo at that time, so he killed several fire-scaled evil maggots and several cold aphid moths, but two of the foundation-building cultivators who were traveling with him were injured and later died. The main reason was that the fire poison and cold poison could not be treated with ordinary medicines.

In other words, these two demon insects, one fire and the other ice, may both attack with the two kinds of demonic power, fire and cold, rather than simply biting, pouncing or attacking with demonic power like traditional monsters. They are more likely to kill with their special attributes.

Regarding this, the Ice Silkworm and the Fire Shark Clothes can play a significant role. As for the weaknesses of these two evil insects, it is not clear yet. If you encounter them, you can only deal with them as they move.
