The "Jinse" dungeon.
Thanks to the change in attitude of the two most awkward people—Ren Baitou and Mu Liangchao—Xiao Le's interactions with everyone became visibly more harmonious.
During meals, Mu Liangchao had gotten into the habit of vying with Fu Guang to warm up Xiao Le's food.
Every time Xiao Le took action, Mu Liangchao would immediately check her physical condition, making Xiao Le feel as if she was about to die.
At this moment, Mu Liangchao stared at her for a while, then reached out and straightened her collar, nodding in satisfaction.
Xiao Le helplessly tucked her face into her hat and turned to bury herself in Fu Guang's arms.
She liked the feeling that the light brought her.
Desire, covet, and depend.
Fu Guang casually patted her back, glaring back at Mu Liangchao, who was staring at her so intently that he looked slightly lewd.
The group was already at the northern edge of the Thirteen Forests.
They have already crossed the Thirteen Forests.
It was getting late, and traveling at night was not safe, so we decided to rest here for the night before heading to the Xianghe Valley.
Xiao Le sat next to Fu Guang, watching the meat porridge cooking in the pot.
"Coo coo~"
Fu Guang turned his head, and Xiao Le awkwardly covered her stomach and lowered her head.
Fu Guang ladled a bowl for her: "Let it cool for a while."
Xiao Le held the porridge in his hands, staring intently at it.
Once everyone had received their food and was ready to eat, Xiao Le quietly began to eat as well.
Iris and Huanbo took turns keeping watch, while the others rested.
Unlike many games that allow you to fast forward, this game does not allow you to skip anything, such as eating, drinking, or sleeping, and it also recreates real-life physiological needs.
Fu Guang lay down next to Xiao Le, and Xiao Le closed her eyes.
She had thought the nightmares caused by the Dream Butterfly would recur while she was asleep, but she slept soundly through the night without any dreams and woke up naturally.
When she woke up again, she was hanging on Fu Guang's shoulder, nestled in Fu Guang's arms.
"woke up?"
Xiao Le rubbed her eyes and looked up.
Fu Guang was looking down at her.
Perhaps afraid that her long hair would bother the person in her arms, Fu Guang, whose hair had been loose all the way, tied her long hair up low and let it hang to one side.
Fu Guang put the person down.
Xiao Le looked closely and realized that they had already left the Thirteen Forest and were moving forward along the river.
The deciduous coniferous forest was covered with a layer of silver frost, and the winding light blue river, carrying a touch of frost and snow, flowed across the land of ice, snow and barren soil, like fresh blue blood flowing from the cracks in the earth.
This is the Xiang River, which stretches east to west between Yulou Pass and the old ruins of the northern border, serving as a natural dividing line.
Their destination, the Enlightenment Ice Nest, is located in a special ice cave in the Xianghe Valley.
The further the group went, the more ice appeared on both sides of the valley, like countless ice and snow-carved flowers embedded in the mountain walls. The river itself was frozen over, and the temperature dropped significantly.
It is said that the Enlightenment Ice Nest is an extraterrestrial object, carrying extreme cold properties, and cannot be moved, but it allows people with supernatural abilities to enter and cultivate.
The core of the Enlightenment Ice Nest contains "Enlightenment Inscriptions," which can help those with eighth-order cultivation to comprehend and break through the bottleneck of the ninth order.
Aside from that, it has no other special function. Those with too low a cultivation level who rashly enter are more likely to be injured by the cold energy within.
The closer you get to the ice nest, the lower the air temperature becomes.
Fu Guang wrapped Xiao Le in a down jacket from head to toe.
"I'm not cold," Xiao Le said weakly.
Fu Guang touched her cold cheeks: "You said you weren't cold, but your face is all red from the cold."
Xiao Le remained silent.
There's a kind of coldness that only adults feel when they see you as cold.
Xiao Le let him wrap her up like a silkworm and pulled him by the hand to walk forward.
Fu Guang suddenly stopped, and the others followed suit, looking around warily.
Xiao Le also looked to the left front.
There are people there, no, maybe they aren't people!
"Huff... hiss..."
It sounds like the breathing of someone with lung problems, as if it's right next to your ear, yet it comes from every direction.
"Gather together".
After Fu Guang finished speaking, the seven people quickly gathered around him.
Then, one after another, black fish heads emerged from the mountain.
The group then discovered that there were numerous caves right next to the ice-covered area on the mountainside, from which fish heads emerged one after another, covering the entire mountainside.
The full appearance of those monsters came into view.
It has a fish head and a human body, with fish fins for its hands, human legs for its legs, and a soft, fish-tail-like cartilage hanging down behind it.
Their eyes are located somewhere between the sides and the front, which is very strange.
Its entire body was covered in dark blue slime, which dripped onto the ground like snot, making it disgusting to look at.
They slowly approached the seven people.
Mu Liangchao had already clipped the ability suppressor around his neck, but he still looked like he was about to vomit.
"Towards the valley, fish-men."
This is a unique creature found only in the valley; no one knows whether it is a mutation of humans and fish or an alien species.
Influenced by the energy of the Enlightenment Ice Nest, these fish-men gradually gained intelligence and became more like humans.
Furthermore, due to the large number of superhumans who come to this place, and the fact that superhumans themselves have abundant energy, these fish-men have gradually begun to feed on humans.
If they didn't rely on the energy of the Enlightenment Ice Nest to maintain their intelligence, these fish-men might have already spread into human territory to hunt.
Fishmen themselves are not highly skilled, but they are naturally agile and incredibly strong. The mucus secreted on their skin is also somewhat toxic, and once it gets on their bodies, it is difficult to wash off, making them particularly troublesome to deal with.
Not to mention this quantity.
The fishmen at the front looked at each other and then suddenly charged forward.
Xiao Le made his move; a bolt of lightning appeared in front of them, forming a wall imbued with electricity.
