Chapter 223 This Is Not a Speed Race, but a Prop Race!
On the other side, the first adventurers who entered the Snow Emperor Palace also had different numbers of pursuers behind them.
For example, Jin Pingmei's team had 30 Snow Emperor Guards chasing them.
Although these Snow Emperor Guards combined were not enough for Jin Pingmei to fight alone, if they delayed here, they might attract more Snow Emperor Guards and miss the chance to get the Golden Lotus.
So Jin Pingmei thought about it and gave each of Zhang Wei and the others a talisman, saying, "Escape temporarily and go to the back garden of the Seven Kings Palace afterwards. This is my guiding talisman, which will lead you to find me."
"Yes!"
Li Ming and Mei Ling had no objection and took it very straightforwardly, but Xiao Peng looked a little embarrassed.
After all, he was just a casual cultivator of the Golden Core Realm, and it was not easy for him to enter the inner city.
Originally, he wanted to hug his thighs in the Snow Emperor Palace so that he could enter the Hehuan Sect in the future. Why did the leader ignore him not long after he came in?
Seeing Xiao Peng's abnormality, Jin Pingmei threw two fourth-level talismans to him and said, "This is a fourth-level top-grade defensive talisman. After activating it, it can take you to temporarily shake off the pursuers, but you must be as fast as possible. You will be truly safe when you reach the harem!"
After getting two fourth-level talismans, Xiao Peng's face finally looked better. After nodding to Jin Pingmei, he turned a corner and ran into a small alley, forcing the Snow Emperor Guards following behind him to split up again.
So far, only half of the Snow Emperor Guards were left.
And Zhang Wei was about to leave at this time, but at this time he heard Jin Pingmei say without question: "Gui Li, follow me!"
Zhang Wei paused, glanced at Jin Pingmei, and then said, "Okay!"
Zhang Wei followed Jin Pingmei closely and ran towards the Snow Emperor Palace to the harem.
After running three streets, the female cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul saw that the Snow Emperor Guards were still following closely. Her face turned fierce, and she directly took out a honeycomb-like talisman and activated it.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh———
Thousands of golden needles gushed out from the honeycomb, and in an instant, the dozen or so Snow Emperor Guards chasing her were pierced into hedgehogs.
However, this was not the end. After the golden needles shot into the bodies of the Snow Emperor Guards, their bodies made of ten thousand years of ice quickly dissolved and turned directly into a pool of water stains.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei's pupils shrank.
To be able to explode with such power in the Snow Emperor Palace, this honeycomb needle magic weapon must be a fifth-level top-grade magic weapon even if it is not a sixth-level magic weapon.
Is this the confidence that Jin Pingmei, a middle stage of the Nascent Soul, dares to participate in the fight for the Posuo Golden Lotus?
With such a treasure, there was no need to let Li Ming and others escape separately before. Only two more shots were needed to defeat these pursuers.
So, in Jin Pingmei's eyes, Li Ming and the others are not as valuable as I can activate my magic weapon twice more?
It seems that Jin Pingmei is also a ruthless person.
If it weren't for my special body, I would be one of the most likely to get the golden lotus, Jin Pingmei would probably give me a few level spirit talismans and send me away just like she gave up Xiao Peng.
For such a person, can the protection promised afterwards be taken seriously?
Zhang Wei secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
On the other hand, he stuffed a golden magic pill into his mouth to restore his magic power, and then seeing that Zhang Wei was too slow, he simply pulled his collar and jumped out directly, turning around in the Snow Emperor Palace like the wind.
The area of the Snow Emperor Palace is very large, as if it is a space inside, so Zhang Wei and Jin Pingmei, one Jindan and one Yuanying, ran for a long time but did not see the entrance to the harem of the Snow Emperor Palace.
Instead, they saw a lot of rare and exotic herbs and buildings protected by powerful prohibitions along the way.
During this period, Zhang Wei also saw some treasures with weak restrictions. As long as he gave himself some time, he could break them.
But Jin Pingmei was not interested in all of these.
She had only one goal, that was the opportunity to break through the transformation of the gods, the golden lotus!
Finally, after running wildly for a day, Zhang Wei finally saw the palace gate that symbolized the harem.
It was a huge round archway with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, which was very exquisite.
In the middle was a hazy white fluorescent light that kept rotating, blocking the divine mind from detecting and blocking the line of sight.
After rushing through this light gate, Zhang Wei only felt that the scene in front of him changed again.
The luxurious buildings that were originally clearly divided disappeared, and in their place, there was a beautiful landscape that made people feel refreshed.
However, at this point, Jin Pingmei still did not stop.
After observing the direction by some unknown method, she immediately took Zhang Wei to the depths of this space.
This took another three days.
Zhang Wei couldn't help asking, "Senior Jin, how far is the cold pond? We have been rushing here for several days."
Jin Pingmei paused, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gui Li, according to the information I got.
The Posuo Golden Lotus is the owner of the Snow Emperor Palace, and it is a treasure bestowed by the Snow Emperor on a favorite concubine.
It's just that the concubine fell out of favor in the end, so naturally she moved out of the core area of this world, so it's normal that the journey is a little far."
Hearing Jin Pingmei's comforting words, Zhang Wei couldn't help curling his lips in his heart, but didn't say anything.
After running for a long time, Zhang Wei felt that he was about to run to the end of this space, and he suddenly felt a chill coming from afar.
"We're here!"
Jin Pingmei said with bright eyes.
Then the two climbed over a hill again and saw a lake with a diameter of more than a thousand feet.
The lake was dark blue, and it was the same as the inner city moat, a cold lake made of liquefied extremely cold wind!
In the center of the cold lake, there was a "U"-shaped attic.
Looking down from the top of the hill, you can see a layer of hazy golden light emanating from the center, which must be the light of the Posuo Golden Lotus.
But Zhang Wei looked around and found that there was no direct passage to the attic.
There was not even a boat or a bridge on the shore, which meant that if they wanted to pick the Posuo Golden Lotus, they had to wade through this cold lake that was hundreds of feet long!
If it was in the outer city and the inner city, it would not be difficult for the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators to cross this cold lake of hundreds of feet with the help of magic weapons and magic power.
But this was in the Snow Emperor Palace, which had the greatest suppression of magic power!
If there is no trick, even if a Yuanying cultivator enters it, it will be frozen into an ice sculpture in a short time.
In this case, even if you pick the golden lotus, it will only be a wedding dress for others.
"No wonder we came."
Zhang Wei muttered, then paused, and looked at the next few hills with lightning eyes.
There were shadows there, and it was obvious that there were competitors!
"Go down."
Jin Pingmei also found these people, and her heart tightened, but she could only pin her hopes on Zhang Wei.
The two soon came to the edge of the cold lake, and the closer they were, the colder Zhang Wei felt.
Even though he had this innate five-element yang thunder body, he felt a chill at this moment.
But it was still within the tolerable range.
Jin Pingmei, who was next to him, was a Yuanying mid-stage cultivator, and she was shaking with cold at this moment, and her breath was filled with white mist.
Zhang Wei saw this and did not take it lightly, and controlled his body to have a layer of goose bumps, and his skin trembled slightly.
"Senior Jin, may I ask if there is any magic weapon to avoid the cold?"
Zhang Wei said with some "embarrassment": "The temperature here is too low. I'm afraid I will be frozen halfway and ruin your plan."
Jin Pingmei looked Zhang Wei up and down, then took out a fiery red bead.
Introduced: "This is the Fire Chi Bead, which contains the spirit of a Fire Chi in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. If you can't bear it, draw some of the power out to warm yourself, but don't summon the Fire Chi spirit completely, otherwise, with the degree of suppression of the Snow Emperor Palace on mana, it will completely drain you in an instant of activation."
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up immediately.
According to Jin Pingmei, this Fire Chi Bead is at least a magic weapon of the fifth grade!
It can also summon a Fire Chi in the early stage of the Nascent Soul to assist in combat, and its value is not inferior to the fifth grade mid-grade!
What a treasure!
Zhang Wei didn't act pretentiously, he took the magic weapon directly, and then smiled: "Gui Li thanks Senior Jin!"
"Hurry up, they have already entered the water!"
Jin Pingmei urged anxiously.
Zhang Wei turned his head and saw that the monsters and the monks of the Snow Country had already entered the water, accompanied by a burst of chirping and shouting, swimming towards the attic in the middle of the lake.
In the distance, more and more competitors arrived.
We have to hurry up.
Zhang Wei put the Fire Chi Pearl in his arms, gently pulled out some heat to cover his whole body, and then warmed up several times on the shore. After fully activating his body, he jumped into the cold pool under Jin Pingmei's anxious eyes.
For a moment, Zhang Wei felt as if he had jumped into the river water in Siberia in winter.
It was so cold!
No wonder those participants screamed.
He can be like this even with the protection of the Taoist body and magic weapon. I'm afraid ordinary Jindan monks will become ice sculptures when they come, right?
"Fortunately, I learned winter swimming from my grandfather in my previous life, so I have some experience."
Resisting the biting coldness of the extremely cold wind around him, Zhang Wei hurriedly swam towards the attic in the middle of the lake.
After swimming for less than fifty feet, Zhang Wei heard a panicked cry. With a glance, he saw two Jindan demon kings and several Snow Country monks floundering in the cold lake as if they were drowning.
"Is it cramped from the cold?"
Zhang Wei thought to himself, and at the same time, he was glad that he had done enough warm-up before entering the water, otherwise, in this environment, cramps would basically mean death.
However, just as Zhang Wei was about to move forward, he heard another panicked cry from afar, and Jin Pingmei's reminder came from the shore.
"Be careful, there are red-scaled carp!"
Zhang Wei turned his head and saw two participants in the distance shouting in fear, and red carp jumped out of the lake like crazy, hitting the participants like cannonballs.
If the physique is strong, it's fine. If the physique is weak, it will be smashed into a pool of minced meat after just one round of impact.
What's more terrible is that through the perception of the cold lake water, Zhang Wei found that there were movements around him!
Boom--
A red-scaled carp jumped out of the lake and rushed straight to Zhang Wei's head.
Its impact was so strong that even the Purple Mansion cultivators with magic weapons were unwilling to resist it.
However, Zhang Wei seemed to have sensed it long ago. He tilted his head and let the red-scaled carp pass by him.
Then his body rushed out again and swam towards the attic in a butterfly stroke.
The red-scaled carp that failed to hit the target turned around again, and this time it was not just one, but a group of thirty red-scaled carps!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
These red-scaled carps were like fiery red torpedoes, heading straight for Zhang Wei's underwater part!
"Looking for death!"
Zhang Wei cursed in his heart, and then his whole body began to release high-voltage current!
Crackling---
A flash of lightning passed by, and the lake surface within a radius of ten feet shook, and then the red-scaled carps floated up from the lake.
But Zhang Wei knew that these red-scaled carps were only temporarily stunned, and he also felt that more red-scaled carps were swimming towards him.
"We have to speed up, Lei Ze!"
Zhang Wei shouted, and then Lei Ze in his clothes came out of Zhang Wei's clothes, forming a shape similar to a propeller behind him.
Then the propeller turned, pushing Zhang Wei's body towards the attic at a speed comparable to that of a yacht!
This scene stunned many Yuanying cultivators standing on the shore.
Can you still play like this?
"Don't worry about the magic weapon! Hurry to the attic, otherwise, others will get there first!"
At this time, an anxious Yuanying Great Demon King shouted to the helper he had found.
The demon king in the middle stage of Jindan immediately took out the magic weapon given to him by the Yuanying Great Demon King. It was a fiery red tortoise shell. Judging from its treasure light, it was of the fifth level!
The demon king put on the tortoise shell, regardless of whether it fit or not, and then urged it.
A layer of hazy red light covered it, and it actually resisted the coldness of the cold lake, allowing him to swim forward at three times the speed before.
Other Yuanying cultivators saw this and immediately asked their men to take out their magic weapons.
Among them, the treasures taken out by the Great Demon King Fengli and the True Lord Xuehua were the most valuable.
They were both fifth-level middle-grade fire treasures.
One was a boat and the other was a feather. They each carried their people to the attic at a speed that surpassed others.
But the price is the constant erosion of magic weapons and the constant consumption of mana by the coldness of the cold lake.
If this continues, the magic weapons of these people will be greatly reduced.
But they have to fight.
Soon, the five hundred feet of distance passed quietly, and Zhang Wei came to the open space in front of the attic in the lake with ice chips.
As soon as he stepped onto the open space, Zhang Wei's eyes were dazed.
In a trance, he seemed to see a strong... one-eyed giantess?
Zhang Wei wiped his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken.
It was indeed a one-eyed giantess.
At this moment, the one-eyed giantess looked at him with a face full of resentment, and her eyes seemed to complain about why he hadn't come to see her for so long.
Zhang Wei shuddered.
But he knew that this was the owner of the attic because he was unwilling to accept it, and his own Tao rhyme infected the attic and left a divine illusion.
It's just that the one-eyed giantess...
Zhang Wei thought of Xue Nuo's troll wife again.
What else can he say except to sigh at the diverse aesthetics of the Snow Spirits?
He saluted the one-eyed giantess, then passed through the illusion and went straight to the attic behind her.
There are also many one-eyed giantess living in the attic, waiting for the sight of her beloved.
What to say.
It is extremely damaging to Zhang Wei's spirit.
Have you ever seen a scene where seven or eight giantess in a room look at you with resentment?
But there are many treasures here. After being soaked in the spiritual energy here for many years, even a weed has become a spiritual medicine.
"Huh? This is..."
At this time, Zhang Wei's figure suddenly paused. He was surprised to find that there was a special portrait enshrined in the lobby of this attic.
It was also a one-eyed giant, but he had an eight-sided plum blossom silver hammer flashing with lightning in his hand.
The lightning on the giant hammer almost tore the sky and the earth apart. Even if it was just a portrait, it still gave people an endless sense of deterrence.
On the table below the portrait, there is also a giant hammer that looks similar!
But it is just a replica, and it does not have all the power of the giant hammer in the portrait.
But even so, this silver giant hammer has the aura comparable to a sixth-level magic weapon!
A sixth-level magic weapon, and it is also thunder-attributed!
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, but at this time, Xue Lin's voice came from the Qiankun bracelet.
"Don't take it!"
Zhang Wei paused and asked, "Is there a trap?"
The Qiankun bracelet has the ability to hold living things. Before coming here, Zhang Wei put Xue Lin into his Qiankun bracelet just in case, in addition to letting Xue Nuo enter the hall later to find the Emperor Liujiang.
And at this moment, the other party stopped him, there must be a reason.
Xuelin in the Qiankun bracelet replied: "The one in the picture is the leader of the ancient Cyclops clan, holding the inherited magic weapon Thunder Hammer in his hand, which is said to be an existence beyond the seventh level!
Although the magic weapon on this table is a replica, it is an important instrument used to worship the Cyclops ancestor. Once you take it away, the Tao rhyme left by the Cyclops female giant will burst directly, and then control this magic weapon to instantly kill the creatures that offended her ancestors!
Without the strength of the god, you must not expect this treasure!"
"Hiss..."
Zhang Wei took a breath of cold air, and then looked at the Thunder Hammer in fear.
Fortunately, he brought Xuelin here, otherwise he would be in trouble.
After thanking Xuelin, Zhang Wei followed his instructions, looted some other treasures in the attic, and then went straight to the place where the Posuo Golden Lotus was in the center of the attic.
Not long after he left, the remaining participants came one after another, and they couldn't help but shudder when they saw the sad giantess.
But they didn't attack. After all, even if this person was a concubine, she was at least in the state of transformation, and the image she left behind might have other effects.
However, when they came to the attic and saw the treasures that Zhang Wei left in the attic that were dangerous and could not be taken away, they couldn't hold back their greed.
They rushed forward to scramble for them.
After all, no matter how good the Posuo Golden Lotus was, it would not be their turn, but these treasures in front of them were genuine and could be put in their pockets!
Among them, a snow giant in the late Jindan stage took a fancy to the lightning hammer on the altar. With greed rising in his heart, he applied several life-saving methods to himself and then stretched out his hand.
Boom————
A thunderbolt fell from the sky and directly struck the snow giant, instantly breaking all his life-saving methods and turning him into ashes!
"Ah!!!!"
At the same time, other treasures that had the female giant's back-up or prohibitions also showed their power, tossing those adventurers who offended them to death.
They were not without means, but how could the means prepared by these Jindan or Yuanying be the opponent of this powerful god-transforming power?
Even if it was just a trace of power, it was enough to make the demon kings bleed heavily. The more ruthless ones were like the snow giant, who turned into ashes directly!
Other lucky ones who resisted greed or happened to get the treasures without problems were immediately scared and dared not hope for the remaining treasures. They hurried to pick the Posuo Golden Lotus. (End of this chapter)
