Chapter 314 A Terrifying Experience in the Frozen Pool
Shen Rugo's heart was still pounding, and before she could recover from the shock, a dull thud sounded.
She plummeted like a kite with a broken string into a bottomless pool of water.
The immense impact carried her body, sending her plummeting towards the bottom of the pool at an extremely high speed.
"Great! There's a pool of water down there. It seems I really am incredibly lucky and blessed!"
The sudden turn of events filled Shen Rugo with joy, and she instinctively opened her mouth and shouted.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the icy water from the pool poured into her mouth and throat, causing her to cough repeatedly.
Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling coldness engulfed her like a tidal wave.
The biting cold felt like countless tiny ice needles piercing her every inch of skin and every cell, leaving her almost frozen solid.
Shen Rugo's teeth began to chatter uncontrollably. "What kind of hellish pool is this? It's so cold!"
Even though we were in the pool and immersed in the water, the temperature here was ridiculously low.
"The temperature is so low, yet the water hasn't frozen. What kind of place is this pool?"
Fear gripped Shen Rugo's heart as her body continued to sink due to the immense inertia.
After sinking for an unknown period of time, Shen Rugo's rapidly falling body finally came to a stop at a certain moment.
The buoyancy of the water finally counteracted the terrible impact.
At the same time, her feet touched the ground, reaching the bottom of the pool.
"I've fallen into a freezing pond! Good heavens! I have to get out of here as soon as possible, or I'll freeze to death!"
Shen Rugo shouted in her heart, enduring the stiffness and cold in her body, and paddled hard with both hands, trying to swim towards the surface of the water.
Just then, two eerie lights suddenly appeared not far away, like two strange little lanterns in the darkness, staring straight at her.
Shen Rugo froze. "What the hell is this?"
Upon closer inspection, my blood seemed to freeze.
The flashing light was actually a pair of eyes, staring intently at her.
Behind those eyes, a huge white snake slowly wriggled its body.
The white snake was ten zhang long, its body as thick as a water bucket, its white scales gleaming coldly in the darkness, and its forked tongue constantly flickering, making a hissing sound.
Shen Rugo felt a chill run from her feet to the top of her head. "Escape! I must escape as soon as possible!"
Just as she turned to run away in a panic, a familiar voice rang in her mind: "Your Highness, where have you gone? Why is it so cold?"
Shen Rugo was overjoyed. It turned out that the lucky charm she had kept in her storage bag had also sensed the cold aura.
"This is terrible! This princess has fallen into a freezing pool. It's freezing cold, and there's a giant snake in there, a snake that's over ten zhang long! It's terrifying!"
Shen Rugo frantically waved her hands while anxiously shouting in her mind.
"Falling into a cold pool, and there's a giant snake?"
"Your Highness, please let me out so I can see!"
Zhao Cai asked curiously.
"But I'm so cold, my whole body is freezing. If I don't escape, I'll freeze to death here!"
"Your Highness, you possess all five elements of spiritual roots, including the water element. It's hilarious that someone with a water element is also afraid of the cold!"
"Ah, water elemental roots aren't afraid of the cold, you mean..."
Shen Rugo's heart stirred.
"That's easy. Just run your water elemental root on its own, and you won't feel the cold anymore."
"So that's possible?"
Shen Rugo was overjoyed. She released Zhaocai while holding back her other four spiritual roots and focusing her energy on circulating her water spiritual root.
Sure enough, as the water elemental power circulated, the chilling cold instantly disappeared, and she even felt an unparalleled affinity for the water in the cold pool, as if she had become one with it.
"Your Highness, please don't leave! There's a great treasure at the bottom of this pool, an absolute treasure!"
As soon as Zhaocai appeared, it started shouting loudly.
"There's a great treasure here! Didn't you see that giant snake? It seems to have its eyes on me!"
Although Shen Rugo no longer felt cold and felt relaxed and free, she could clearly see that the large white snake with its two blood-red eyes was swimming towards her with its long forked tongue flicking out, getting closer and closer.
"There really is a snake, and it's an extremely rare ice snake!"
Zhao Cai quickly spotted the large snake and immediately recognized it.
"Of course I know it's an ice serpent, but it's too big. We're no match for it!"
Shen Rugo said repeatedly.
"It is because there is a heaven-defying treasure at the bottom of this pool that this ice serpent is guarding it. Your Highness, please do not leave. I suspect that there may be the legendary ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow at the bottom of this pool."
You absolutely must get it; it will bring you immense benefits and allow your cultivation level to directly break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
Zhao Cai immediately shouted.
Having spent all his time by Shen Rugo's side, Zhao Cai naturally knew about her situation.
Shen Rugo is currently at the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, but she is still far from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Moreover, Shen Rugo entered the secret realm this time specifically for the legendary Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, which requires first breaking through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
"The Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow can help me reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"
Shen Rugo, who was originally only thinking about escaping as soon as possible, stopped in her tracks when she heard Zhao Cai's words.
"The ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow is the most magical treasure in the world."
"I never expected such a heaven-defying treasure to appear in this small, secret realm! Your Highness, you must not let it slip by!"
"But, Zhao Cai, look at that giant snake! It's already charging at us. It's definitely ten zhang long. We're no match for it!"
Shen Rugo had never seen such a terrifying snake before. Its enormous body and thick tail made her worry that a single sweep of its tail would turn her into a pulp.
"Fortune favors the bold! It is because the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is a heaven-defying treasure that it is guarded by spirit beasts."
This white snake is the spirit beast guarding the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. If you defeat it, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is ours!
"How could I, a mere Qi Refining Level 15, possibly be its match?"
Shen Rugo shook her head repeatedly.
Girls are naturally afraid of snakes and insects, let alone this snake which is so terrifying.
"Your Highness, don't you have all sorts of rune array plates? Are you really afraid of such a small white worm? No matter how powerful it is, can it compare to a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"You mean, this spirit beast isn't actually that strong?"
Shen Rugo's heart stirred.
She now possesses various means, runes, and array plates, especially the powerful Nine Dragons Fire Array.
If she hadn't had much confidence in her runes and formations before, she witnessed their power firsthand yesterday and was now full of confidence.
A top-grade level four rune possesses the combat and defensive power of a peak Golden Core cultivator, while the Nine Dragons Departing Fire Formation is far superior to a top-grade level four rune. A Nascent Soul cultivator might actually be able to trap it.
"This little white worm is definitely not stronger than a Nascent Soul cultivator; at most, it's only equivalent to an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."
Your Highness, this is an excellent opportunity for a trial. Let's use this little white worm as a test.
I'd also like to see how my innate fire works; maybe I can roast this little white worm and eat it!
Zhao Cai, however, was filled with fighting spirit and uttered wild words.
"Shall we roast this little white worm and eat it?"
"Zhao Cai, you're a fire-type spirit beast, can you subdue this ice serpent?"
Shen Rugo was overjoyed when she thought of the terrifyingly powerful flames of the Wealth-Bringing Blessing.
"Of course!
"Your Highness, let's take them down today!"
Zhao Cai's fighting spirit soared even higher.
