Chapter 165 - The Ice Lake [I]

Fei Hong looked at him curiously. The man wasn't looking familiar, and Fei Hong couldn't recollect sitting with him in the big gourd. He just didn't understand what the man was looking for from him: "Alright then, I'll be on my way."

"Oh, wait, fellow Taoist. Since Mr. Hu is a few years older than yourself, so I'll call you, junior brother. Good." Hu Shan said, "Junior brother should know that it is very dangerous to act alone within this iceberg restriction. How about exploring with a partner?"

"Hmm..." Fei Hong pondered for a while, feeling that he still had some secrets that he couldn't let this senior brother know about. Besides, who could guarantee that this person was not hiding evil intentions from him?

Thinking of this, Fei Hong refused: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I still want to act alone."

"Oh, that's fine." Hu Shan showed a disappointed look: "Then Hu will leave first, and Junior Brother will take care of himself."

After all, Hu Shan clasped his fists and left, and soon disappeared into the ice and snow.

Fei Hong stood on the spot and observed the surrounding terrain, and couldn't help feeling relieved that he was fortunate. Before coming here, Uncle Wu of the medicine garden had told him that every time people entered, some with bad luck would come directly to the places where all kinds of monsters gathered or the terrain was bad, and they would be killed first.

The place where he was at the moment looked like an open space, there was no suspicious places around, and not far away from his destination. He could already see the tallest iceberg, the iceberg heavenly lotus, which was at the top of the mountain.

Fei Hong thought about it and reached into his spstial ring, and a sheepskin map appeared in his hand. This was a map drawn by a disciple who had come before, and it showed areas that were dangerous or places that had spiritual grasses and minerals.

After walking to a boulder, he hid and looked carefully at the map in his hand. Soon, he found where he was. Sure enough, he was now in a relatively safe location, and not far  was a large lake called "Wutan", surrounded by spiritual grass and minerals, but according to the records on the map, there should be a pile of them. However, icefish were guarding the lake.

Although these ice fish were low-level monsters, they were some kind of amphibious fish, and they liked to form groups, often attacking the enemy in groups, and ordinary people really had no way of facing them.

Before coming here, Fei Hong had already made up his mind that no matter where he was teleported to inside the iceberg, once there was a good place nearby, if time allowed, he must find something. After all, these things were hard to buy with money, and most of them were very useful to cultivators.

Thinking of this, Fei Hong roughly estimated the time he could use, and felt that he had a lot to spare, so he took a good look at the route, and put away the map. He stayed behind the boulder to continue to observe, and felt that there was no danger. So he walked out slowly, and headed in the direction of the lake.

Along the way, Fei Hong used the cloud step from time to time, the speed was not slow, and there was no danger on the road. In less than half a day, he saw a huge lake. What surprised him was that not only was there no ice on the lake, but layers of steam were floating on the lake, which looked very strange in this icy world.

Fei Hong didn't walk over quickly, but walked slowly along the path, letting the stone in front of him, covered him.

When he was still a few meters away from the lake, Fei Hong suddenly frowned, stopped, and didn't make any movement.

Not long after, a young disciple dressed in yellow robe striped with red, was walking slowly towards the lake. Looking at the direction he walked, Fei Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. On the back of an ice stone beside the lake, there were several white and transparent mushrooms growing there, which were the rare spirit plant known as Ice Heart mushrooms.

The yellow robed disciple suddenly stopped at this moment, and shouted with a smile: "Come out, I've seen you. We are all people in the same way, why hide for no reason."

Fei Hong was startled. Have I been discovered? But on second thought, he knew it shouldn't be. He was hiding behind the disciple now, how could he see him?

While thinking about it, he stuck his head out to look, but when he saw the man looking around, he immediately knew that he didn't see anyone at all, but was testing. After all, in a place like this lake, there should be a high possibility that someone will be teleported straight through the ban into this place.

Oh, this man was really cautious. Fei Hong thought to himself.

Soon, the man saw that no one came out nearby, so he walked quickly behind the ice stone, and quickly pulled up the ice heart mushroom with both hands.

Fei Hong was a little helpless, at this time it was impossible for him to go out and share with him. But this Ice Heart Mushroom was really enticing, and it was a pity to give it up like this.

While he was thinking about it, there was a scream all of a sudden.

Fei Hong was startled, and quickly put his head out to look, only to see that this disciple of Qianhuashan had died tragically beside the boulder, and there were two disciples of Wanye Village standing beside him.

"Hey, brother, this is a good idea. Let's wait here and wait for the rabbits. Using this ice heart mushroom as bait, even if we can't find the iceberg holy lotus, we can get a lot of good things from these lots souls.." One of them laughed.
