Chapter 8: Terror of Extreme Cold (Part 2)

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Mm, okay, hehe, three ancient seal rings are enough, it's actually saved me some trouble." He handed one ancient seal ring to Crazy Eagle and two to Shi Hu, saying: "Make the most of this opportunity, advancing is the best outcome. If it's not enough, tell me... hehe, I have more."

  Jin Deya knew about the ancient seal ring, which was much stronger than the current True Lord's condensed seal ring. The ancient seal ring had been stored for thousands of years, and its contained sealing power was extremely pure. He had long given up on advancing in rank and relied on the seal ring to prolong his life. The effect of the ancient seal ring was several times stronger than that of the seal ring, and its life-prolonging effect was even more powerful. However, very few people were willing to take it out to help others prolong their lives.

  Lei Xingfeng looked at Jin Daya's hesitant expression, knowing that he didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "Uncle Jin, give you one... try the effect."

  Jin Deya was overjoyed, this thing is absolutely a treasure at critical moments. He had heard of the ancient ring, but he had never seen it before, and now he repeatedly thanked him.

  Lei Xingfeng said with a smile: "Uncle Jin, we are going to be family from now on, no need to be so polite."

  Jin Deya felt different for the first time, and he was a little touched in his heart.

  Xin Zhaolun smiled and said: "A Feng, I don't want to take advantage of you either. How about we make a trade? I'll give you five seal rings for one ancient seal ring."

  Lei Xingfeng took out two and said: "Don't mention exchanging, I'll give you two."

  Miao Ling poked her head out of a big pile of fur and said: "Younger brother... I want some too!"

  Lei Xingfeng was startled and said, "Eighth Sister, how come you're also here?" He didn't see Miao Ling at all. This guy was afraid of the cold, so after entering the house, he hid in a big pile of fur, which would be slightly warmer. Hearing Gu Yin's ringtone, plus Hong Jie constantly reaching in to pinch her, she naturally understood what was going on and stuck her head out to beg for food.

  Lei Xingfeng was not stingy either, saying: "Alright, I'll also give you two, isn't that enough?...I didn't collect many to begin with." He didn't dare to hand them out generously, not because he was reluctant to part with them, but because he had a group of subordinates who needed them. When the time came for his guards to advance in rank, if there weren't enough Seal Rings, it would be troublesome.

  Miao Ling Xi said: "Two, great, great!" She thought it would be good to get one, Hong Jie also had a smile on her face, she was Miao Ling's top guard, managing a group of subordinates, having such good things, at critical moments, can play a big role.

  At this time, it was not suitable for refining Lei Yin, nor was it suitable for Leixing Peak to cultivate, so he set up a large copper pot and started cooking again.

  Each charcoal brazier had a large copper pot placed on it for boiling, filled with water and meat. Instantly the entire room was enveloped in steam. Lei Xingfeng said: "Cover all the pots, or else we won't be able to see each other after a while."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "No way, the air vent still needs to be plugged with a tube, otherwise it will be hard to get through tomorrow."

  The so-called ventilation port is to leave a few curved holes on the ice wall, allowing outside air to flow in to prevent hypoxia. If there is too much water vapor inside the room, this ventilation hole is easy to freeze and block, so metal pipes need to be inserted, and when the time comes, just replace the metal pipe.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Open a few more vents."

  So many people hiding in a room, and lighting so many charcoal braziers, need a lot of oxygen, one carelessness will lead to danger, don't freeze to death, but suffocate to death, such things, should be prevented as soon as possible.

  The next day, the extremely cold weather finally arrived.

  Lei Xingfeng finally experienced what the extremely cold weather of Hanyabao was like. Even houses made of ice, in such extreme cold, were frozen to the point where they creaked and groaned as if they were about to shatter. The sound sent chills down Lei Xingfeng's spine. He didn't know from which gap the white mist had entered, but even his fur was frozen stiff like steel.

  A charcoal fire was suddenly extinguished with a hissing sound as it was enveloped in white mist.

  Jin Deya was so frightened that he raised his hand and a ball of flame appeared, then he inserted several oily wooden sticks into it, and instantly the flames rose high, dispersing the white mist that had drifted over.

  Lei Xingfeng pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "Over there!" The white fog was drifting out from the corner of the wall.

  The hammer picked up a piece of animal skin pad and threw it over, touching the white mist in mid-air. When the soft animal skin pad fell to the ground, it actually made a hard collision sound, making everyone's scalp numb. It was already frozen like a stone. If a person touched it, they would lose consciousness instantly.

  All charcoal basins were set up with tung oil, and the flames began to rise, finally dispersing the white fog that had drifted in.

  "Lei Xingfeng's heart still had lingering fear as he said: 'This thing... how can it be so terrifying?'"

  Jin Deya said: "Otherwise, this place would have been crowded long ago. In such extremely cold weather, except for the True Lord who can withstand it, even we nine-ring true men must avoid it."

  Lei Xingfeng curiously asked: "Has anyone frozen to death a Jiu Huan True Person?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Yes, how could there be none? Moreover, many have frozen to death."

  "Frenzied Eagle said, 'That's a guy with too much confidence and doesn't listen to advice. He's dead and that's it. Every year there are a few idiots like him who think they can withstand it with their own cultivation. Haha, even when they're about to die, they still don't believe anything will happen.'"

  "Are you going to freeze to death in this room?"

  "Indeed, the preparations were not thorough enough. The walls of the room cracked open, and you've also seen how formidable this white mist is, haha, there's no escape, so it seems like we can only die now."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but gasp in shock. The Ninth Ring True Person was actually frozen to death, it was simply unthinkable.

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Some cracks can be plugged with animal skin, some cracks need to be filled with water, all of which must be prepared in advance."

  Suddenly, Shi Hu's whole body made a crackling sound, and Xin Zhaolun said: "Not bad, the tiger has been promoted!"

  Right after Miao Ling advanced, Xiao Di Ya also advanced. Fēng Yīng (Crazy Eagle) let out a bitter laugh and said: "Forget it, I'll cultivate." He had always been worried about Lei Xing Feng, so he hadn't cultivated in time.

  "Jin Deya said: 'You cultivate, I'll protect.'"

  Hong Jie reminded Miao Ling: "Don't slack off, continue to cultivate and consolidate, don't worry, with me here, you won't be in danger."

  Miao Ling responded with a soft meow, like a little cat. She was actually very cold, but her cultivation speed was truly something she had never seen before in this life - it was too fast! Her cultivation was like boiling water, and after less than half a day of practice, she had already advanced to the next level.

  Lei Xingfeng didn't dare to cultivate, he understood that as long as he cultivated, he could almost immediately advance in rank. However, since he hadn't refined the Lei Yin yet, how could he bear to advance? Therefore, his attention was focused on the charcoal basin and the crackling sounds coming from all directions, which were so cold they could freeze and shatter ice.

  Jin Deya and Xin Zhaolun both held animal skin pads in their hands, ready to block any leaks at any time. The hammer head and the mad axe also seemed a bit tense. They understood the horror of the extremely cold weather better than anyone else. According to their indigenous customs, extremely cold weather would never stay on the ground, basically all had to go down to the ground to hide, but the two of them had already missed it, couldn't make it to the tribe's residence point, and could only follow Xin Zhaolun over.

  Apart from a few people who were still practicing, Lei Xingfeng, Xin Zhaolun, Jin Daya, Chui Tou and Kuang Fu, and finally Hong Jie, a total of six people were clear-headed and on guard. They couldn't sleep and had to keep the charcoal basin burning at all times. Absolutely could not let the charcoal basin go out. Also, they had to discover in time if the ice wall cracked and immediately patch it up.

  Lei Xingfeng also had to keep cooking food non-stop, so that everyone could eat their fill, which was also very important.

  A few people sat around chatting with nothing better to do.

  Hammerhead held a large bowl in his hand, filled with a steaming hot and thick meat soup. As he drank, the sound of slurping was loud and clear, while speaking with flying spittle: "In my lifetime, I've seen the most severe cold weather once, that time... our families were wiped out, all frozen to death, not one escaped, it was really miserable."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Impossible, you all live underground, how can so many people freeze to death at once?"

  Hammerhead said: "Really, no kidding!"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Underground? How is that possible..."

  Hammerhead took a big sip of the thick soup, then stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth, chewing loudly. After a while, he said: "What's impossible? When the air is frozen solid and can be dug directly into the ground, anything is possible."

  Lei Xingfeng was stunned, he said: "Ah? Air liquefaction... I'm going to faint." He thought to himself: "Is this liquid nitrogen? Below absolute zero?"

  "Obviously, Xinzhaolun had heard of it before. He said: "I know this one. At that time, the entire Hanyabao, less than 20% of the people survived, and all the others froze to death. I heard that even a true monarch almost froze to death. This guy escaped quickly, forcibly opening the secret door, and managed to run away, but was also seriously injured. Hammerhead, this kind of situation is extremely rare. If you encounter it, it's bad luck, and has nothing to do with your strength. Even if you're fully prepared, when you encounter such a terrifying weather, you can only listen to fate."

  Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, "This is too scary, I hope this kind of weather doesn't happen often."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Appearing frequently? Appearing once would severely damage the local yuanqi, and for at least a few decades, there wouldn't be many people coming here, they'd all be scared off."

  "What time is it?"

  Hammerhead laughed: "It's nothing, it was when I was a kid, it's been 70 or 80 years ago. In recent years, the extremely cold weather here has improved a lot and the danger is smaller, this is also why I dare to come out. Otherwise... we would have hidden several months ago before the extreme cold weather arrives."

  "Brother, this time you're advancing... how many things do you need to prepare?"

  "Many, so many that you wouldn't dare believe. Ah, A Feng, you'd better start collecting all sorts of materials from now on. Don't be like me, only starting to prepare when it's almost too late. It's exhausting, and not worth the effort."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "What things need to be prepared?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "You can ask the master for the Xingmang record, but everyone's preparations are different, personal attributes are different, and the materials needed are also different."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, some common materials..." Before he finished speaking, a loud cracking sound was heard, followed by the sound of shattering glass. Everyone present was shocked and lost their color.
