Beast Taming·Chapter 256: The Beast in the Spring (Part 2)

Is this the cold spring?

Shi Yan walked forward doubtfully, stretched out his hand and carefully placed it on the white jade-like ice surface. //www.??// It was not cold where he touched it, but actually felt a little warm.

The moment he touched the cold spring, the ice beads in his body spun wildly, as if he saw his clan members and relatives.

A faint blue energy suddenly emanated from the ice ball, released along the meridians, and sank into the white jade ice surface.

Boom!

At the moment when the blue energy sank into the white jade ice surface, the whole cave suddenly made a bang. The sound spread throughout the cave. The ice edges continued to tremble, making a buzzing sound.

Shi Yan had an illusion, as if the sound just now was just like the beating of his heart, which beat for a moment, and everything became full of vitality.

Sure enough, another loud sound was heard.

Boom!

Now, Shi Yan clearly felt that the voice came from beneath the white jade ice surface, that is, from the cold spring.

"This..." Shi Yan quickly increased the output of blue energy. The blue energy overflowed from Shi Yan's five fingers, spreading to the entire white jade ice surface like a spider web, and then slowly penetrated into it. The ice surface suddenly trembled, and then there was another thump, and a faint blue light flashed along with the thump.

Then, the white jade ice surface melted at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a pool of spring water again.

This is what we are looking for this time, Hanquan!

Shi Yan was thankful. If it weren't for the extreme coldness in his body, the cold spring would not have opened at all, but would have appeared in front of him in the form of ice, which could not be destroyed or carried.

Shi Yan raised his hand, and the water in the cold spring danced happily, condensing into a ball of water. In Shi Yan's palm, it kept changing like a naughty child.

"Ah, this is Chequan!" Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind Shi Yan. Shi Yan's hair stood up immediately. He didn't even feel someone appearing behind him! He turned around quickly, and his palm was ready to summon the flying sword. However, when he saw the person coming, he was stunned. Why was she here?

"Ji!" A blue figure flashed by and threw itself into Shi Yan's arms. Yes, it was Xiao Ji!

And the one who appeared with Xiaoji was Long'er.

Long Er quickly ran forward and reached his hand into the cold spring. "Wait..." Shi Yan hurriedly stopped him. This was an extremely cold spring. If he rashly reached his hand in, his entire arm would be crippled. But he overlooked a problem. The temperature in this cave was very low. How come Long Er didn't see any signs of freezing here?

Long Er's movements were even faster, his palm had already reached into the cold spring, and then he laughed happily, saying happily: "This is really the clear spring!"

"Chequan?" Shi Yan looked at Long'er doubtfully, and put all doubts behind him, except this one of course.

Long Er's face flushed with excitement, and he said, "Che is the name of an ice dragon in ancient times. After the ice dragon became a Taoist, it left its body somewhere and turned into Che Spring."

"You said that this cold spring is the Che Spring formed from the body of Ice Dragon Che?"

"No, not all of them." Long Er closed his eyes, carefully felt the cold spring, and whispered softly: "This is a clear spring that has left home. It is a clear spring that is wandering outside and has been blocked here by someone."

Long Er opened his eyes and pointed at the cold spring and said, "Go down and take a look. This clear spring has existed for nearly ten thousand years. It has almost grown part of a dragon's body."

"Go down!" Shi Yan looked at the spring water with a wry smile. Well, to be honest, the dragon body in Long'er's mouth attracted Shi Yan. Shi Yan tentatively put his arm into the spring, but he didn't feel cold, but very warm, just like when he touched the white jade ice surface just now.

In that case, what are you waiting for?

With a cry, he jumped into the spring and swam downstream.

Long Er pursed his lips and said to Xiao Ji: "Xiao Ji, you go down too. This is the wealth that our senior left us. It is very good for both your health and his."

Xiao Ji seemed to understand, but also entered the cold spring.

“Ah, although this cold spring is of high grade, its geographical location is not good. How can it be transformed into a dragon body? Perhaps it can only be drawn into a ferocious dragon beast. However, this is a clear spring after all. The dragon beast may have its own vitality. I wonder if Brother Shi Yan can deal with it!”

As soon as Shi Yan entered the cold spring, he felt all the pores in his body dilate and he felt extremely comfortable. He emerged from the water and shouted "So cool", then took a deep breath and dived again.

This time, it plunged directly into the bottom of the spring.

The view from the bottom of the spring was wide, and Shi Yan realized that the space here was unimaginably large.

Xiao Ji swam leisurely beside Shi Yandao and moved forward with him.

Suddenly, a string of bubbles appeared in front of him. Shi Yan stood still, covered Xiao Ji behind him, and looked ahead vigilantly.

Gas coming out from the bottom of the water means that something is breathing, perhaps underground air currents, or perhaps some kind of living creature.

"I hope it's underground air currents." Can creatures that can live in cold springs have simple things? The answer is of course no.

But who knew that Shi Yan's prayer was shattered in an instant, and two pairs of eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan's body suddenly stiffened, as if he was being stared at by an extremely terrifying thing.

The figure kept moving forward, and finally, Shi Yan saw its appearance clearly. It looked like a white horse, but its body was faintly covered with fish scales. It had a pair of gills on its cheeks, which opened and closed, and a series of bubbles emerged from them every time they opened. There was only a pair of right angles on both sides of its head, with spiral patterns on them. Its eyes were red, its neck was quite long, and the two dragon whiskers on its chin were waving non-stop. When it opened its mouth and roared, the sharp teeth in its mouth were clearly visible in front of him. It was definitely something that could cut gold and break stone. At the tail, two ribbon-like substances went around to the forelimbs and floated in the water, looking simply majestic.

Seeing Shi Yan in front, the creature suddenly pounced forward, opened its big mouth and bit him. Shi Yan hurriedly retreated, but the resistance in the water was too great, and he was unable to dodge effectively for a while, allowing the spirit beast to pounce on him.

However, it miraculously stopped when it pounced in front of Shi Yan. At this moment, its fangs were less than a centimeter away from Shi Yan. Shi Yan looked carefully and found that its neck was tightly locked by a thick black steel chain, and it could only move within the length of the steel chain. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free. So, he circled in anger, roaring at Shi Yan from time to time, and then bit the steel chain and pulled it.

Shi Yan seemed to understand what he meant and asked carefully, "Do you want me to help you untie this steel chain?"

The spirit beast nodded excitedly, and was very agitated. It kept rushing towards him, but its body was restrained by the steel chain, so it could only rush five meters away. However, it still raised its head and galloped, roaring excitedly.

"Of course, of course. But if I help you untie the steel chain, what benefit will that get me?" Shi Yan, who had left no trace, was reborn again. He looked at it with a smile and laughed non-stop.

The spirit beast was extremely angry and kept roaring at Shi Yan, as if scolding Shi Yan for taking advantage of the situation.

Shi Yan shrugged nonchalantly, "Instead of saying these things, why not just tell me what benefits you can give me."

Shi Yan looked at it and thought, it would be so majestic if he could tame it and use it as a mount.

Although Shi Yan had a chariot hidden in the inner space - the Thunder Hammer, it was just a steel chariot, very old-fashioned. How could it be as cool as the one in front of him?

Having made up his mind, Shi Yan took a few steps back.

Seeing Shi Yan retreat, the spirit beast roared even more urgently and called out softly a few times.

Although he didn't understand what he said, Shi Yan understood that the spirit beast in front of him had compromised.

"That's right. Um... It's hard for me to communicate with you right now. How about this? I'll sign a contract with you, so we can communicate better. Then we can discuss the details of your compensation to me."

The spirit beast nodded quickly, as if afraid that Shi Yan would go back on his word.

Shi Yan laughed in his heart, "Now that your contract is in my hands, you still want to escape?"

Shi Yan then swam closer to the spirit beast and carefully examined the thick steel chain, thinking about how to untie it. It was obvious that the steel chain was not ordinary. Shi Yan gritted his teeth and pulled hard several times, but the steel chain did not move at all. It was indeed very strong.

Shi Yan thought about it, searched in the hidden space, and found a simple-style machete. Don't underestimate this machete. Although it looks ugly, it is really powerful. Shi Yan held it in his hand and felt a force from the machete to his arm. Shi Yan suddenly roared and chopped at the steel chain.

clang!

A water pattern is clearly visible in the water.

Shi Yan's palms were numb from the shock and the machete fell to the ground.

However, the steel chain was intact, not even a single cut. On the other hand, the machete had a very clear cut on the blade. Shi Yan sighed inwardly, this knife was obviously useless. He looked at the spirit beast and smiled bitterly in his heart, it turned out that there was no such easy thing in the world.

Shi Yan put away the machete and continued to search for the hard magic weapon hidden inside. He tried more than ten times and destroyed more than ten magic weapons, but the steel chain did not move at all and did not seem to break at all. The spirit beast seemed quite depressed, making strange noises in its mouth and looking dejected.

Suddenly, Shi Yan had an idea. Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. Too rigid will break easily. The higher the rigidity of a substance, the less it can bear deformation, so it will break easily when subjected to external force.

How can we make a substance more rigid? The answer is simple: lower its temperature. In extremely cold conditions, the metallic activity in the metal will become extremely low, thus increasing its rigidity.

As soon as he thought of it, Shi Yan grabbed the steel chain under the strange eyes of the spirit beast and released the extreme cold air in his body with all his strength, releasing the extreme cold air in the ice ball along his meridians without reservation. As the extreme cold air came out, Shi Yan's body trembled, and his meridians seemed to be frozen instantly, but immediately, a warmth was released from the ice ball, wrapping the extreme cold air and transporting it out safely. This must be the protection of the extreme cold air.

The temperature of the cold spring beside Shi Yan was already extremely low, but once the extremely cold air came out, it instantly dropped several levels. Compared with the previous cold spring, it was as if one was in the sky and the other was underground.

"Ji~~~" Little Ji was a little afraid of the cold and called out.

"Xiaoji, you go out first. I'm fine. I'll be out soon."

Xiaoji hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and swam towards the surface of the water.

Without Xiao Ji around, Shi Yan could release his energy without reservation. Although the spirit beast also felt that the temperature was too low, it was born in the cold, and this cold thing seemed to be a tonic for it, so it was not afraid at all.

The extremely cold air covered the steel chain, and in an instant, a thin layer of ice condensed on it.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and Shi Yan couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face, it worked.

And a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the spirit beast.
