Chapter 704 A Domineering Punch
A punch landed hard on its body, and this time, its tall body didn't fall backward, but flew up.
Its tall body flew away in a parabolic arc, and soon it disappeared from sight.
Mu Jinning, Asheng, and even Zhong Ran themselves were shocked.
She looked at her fist, realized what was happening, and with a whoosh, chased after the ice bear.
Mu Jinning also came to her senses and chased after them.
Ah Sheng let out a howl and quickly strode after him.
The ice bear flew very far and actually flew back to the ice pool, crashing heavily into it.
Layers of ice flowers rose up and scattered in all directions before slowly returning to calm.
Zhong Ran formed a hand seal, and the water in the ice pool slowly surged, finally lifting the ice bear slowly upwards.
The bear remained motionless, whether it was unconscious or already dead.
Zhong Ran waved her hand, sending the ice bear to the shore, before looking at her own hand.
I never dreamed that the power of the stars would be so strong.
So, she now has another trump card up her sleeve.
"Ranran, what just happened?"
While Zhong Ran was cultivating the power of stars, he was cultivating his clone.
Moreover, after so long, they had almost forgotten that Zhong Ran possessed such power.
Zhong Ran's expression was quite interesting: "Do you believe me if I say I just activated a wisp of star power?"
Mu Jinning nodded slightly: "I believe we all felt the pressure when you threw that punch."
How to describe that kind of pressure? It was different from the pressure I usually felt; it was like being crushed by several mountains.
If she hadn't been so fast, they probably would have all knelt down in that instant.
"The power of the stars is so strong. It seems that I will not be afraid even if I encounter powerful evil cultivators in the future."
Zhong Ran said with a bitter face, "It's not that easy. That kind of power is too difficult to cultivate. After all this time, I've only increased the size of the seed by a tiny bit."
She looked inside her and found that the star seed, which was originally the size of a soybean, had shrunk considerably, which broke her heart.
"That punch just now has shrunk a bit, and I don't know when I'll be able to recover it."
She trained for so many nights and only gained a little bit of strength, but one punch made her shrink a whole size. She's too fragile.
Mu Jinning paused for a moment, then smiled.
"It's alright, we have many trump cards, we don't necessarily need to use this one."
He gently comforted her, "You should focus on your cultivation first, just in case you need it someday."
Zhong Ran nodded slightly, noticing that Ah Sheng had also caught up, and at the same time looked at the ice bear on the ground.
"He's still alive, just unconscious." Zhong Ran laughed. "Ah Sheng, how about I put this big guy away for now, so it can keep you company from now on?"
An eighth-tier magical beast is perfectly capable of being contracted.
If you accidentally kill someone, then you don't need to think about these things.
But it's not dead yet, is it? Since it's not dead, it should be put to good use.
Ah Sheng actually wanted to eat its flesh and drink its blood.
But upon hearing his sister's words, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll do whatever my sister says."
Zhong Ran sent the ice bear into the space, while Mu Jinning quickly walked towards the large cave.
During the previous battle, the Ice Bear fought away from this area and then moved to other places instead of coming this way, which is why this area remains intact.
He collected a lot of good things from there and put them all away.
Zhong Ran, however, activated her Eye of Illusion and looked down into the ice pool.
The icy spiritual energy here is the most concentrated she has encountered in a long time.
It was precisely because of the rich ice spiritual energy here that a magical beast was able to mutate and even grow into an eighth-order spiritual herb.
There must be ice-type treasures here.
After a while, she withdrew her illusory gaze, a smile spreading across her face.
"Below is an Ice Soul Frost Pearl, but there is a Spirit Gathering Array and a Transformation Array here. After gathering the spiritual energy, the array will be used to transform it into icy cold energy."
Because of the Ice Soul Frost Pearl, the gathered spiritual energy can be transformed into icy cold energy.
As she spoke, she formed a mudra with her hands, extending one slender hand into the ice pool.
A short while later, a bead was picked up by the handprint.
It was only because she possessed the Eye of Illusion that she was able to retrieve the array's core; otherwise, she would have needed to go beneath the ice pool to break the array.
Along with it came a dense, icy chill.
Zhong Ran said quietly, "This place is a man-made arrangement. I wonder if the ice bears were also sent here to guard it."
She thought that under no circumstances would she do such a thing as leaving things somewhere and coming back to retrieve them later.
Over time, people might forget about it, or it might have been lost along the way, and they might not even remember that such a wonderful thing existed.
"Is the other party trying to cultivate this Ice Crystal Lotus? Otherwise, why would they go to the trouble of setting up such a scene here?"
Can't we find such a place in the north?
"Perhaps it just happened that I landed here on a whim?"
Zhong Ran took it all in stride. Like the black phoenix in the Forest of Death, she had fallen there by accident and had no strength left to leave.
"Ah Jin, take Ah Sheng away first. I'll absorb the spiritual energy here before I leave."
Such abundant spiritual energy, it's shameful to waste it.
She still had some good things, but she used very little of them herself, and several times she even caused some to explode when she took them out.
Next time, I'll share it with the people around me, and sell the rest to save space.
Mu Jinning led Ah Sheng to the other side, while Zhong Ran circulated her cultivation technique, and the dense icy spiritual energy around her surged towards her.
But soon, she noticed someone approaching.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed those mercenaries.
Perhaps the previous battle was too commotion, which attracted them here again?
She felt a little regretful, but she quickly finished her practice and caught up with Mu Jinning to leave.
She was incredibly fast; she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Jinning and Ah Sheng hadn't been walking very fast, and when they saw her catching up, they exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"
"No, it's not that. Someone came to check, so I left first."
Zhong Ran replied, then said to Asheng, "Asheng, run as fast as you can."
Ah Sheng was baffled, but he still obeyed and started running with his long legs, causing the earth to tremble, and his speed was extremely fast.
But at his speed, he's simply no match for evil cultivators.
Zhong Ran took out a speed-up talisman and gave it to him: "Asheng, try sticking this on your leg and see if it can increase your speed."
She seemed to remember having a pair of speed boots that could increase speed.
However, she didn't need it herself and had never used it. It seemed to still be there, but she couldn't remember exactly where it was.
When you have time, find it and give it to Ah Sheng to use. If he really faces evil spirits and heretics, Ah Sheng's inability to run fast is a weakness.
