Chapter 228 Found the Qilin God Statue!
"roar--"
The Ice Scale Lizard, whose eye had been pierced by Li Yan's arrow, let out a mournful scream and rolled wildly on the ground.
That scream was like a fuse that ignited the remaining ice scale lizards, causing them to go berserk instantly.
They pushed off the ground with all four limbs, their icy blue scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and charged towards the cave entrance with their mouths full of sharp teeth.
"Zhang Hu, block the front!"
Wang Meng let out a low shout, and his short spear shot out like a venomous snake, precisely piercing the throat of the foremost ice-scaled lizard.
However, the scales of the Icescale Lizard are extremely hard, and when the short spear pierced it, it only made a crisp "clang" sound and was bounced back.
"The defense is too tough!"
Wang Meng's expression changed. He dodged the Ice Scale Lizard's counterattack by sidestepping it, and swept his short spear horizontally, forcing back the ice lizard that pounced on him.
Zhang Hu gripped his machete tightly, and seeing an ice-scaled lizard lunging at Zhou Ling'er, he roared and charged forward to meet it.
"Get out of here!"
The machete whistled as it cleaved down the back of the Icescale Lizard.
Click!
The blade pierced the Ice Scale Lizard's body, and the Ice Scale Lizard, in pain, turned around and bit Zhang Hu's arm.
"Be careful!"
Zhou Ling'er reacted extremely quickly, flicking her hands in quick succession, and three silver needles were precisely aimed at the eyes of the Ice Scale Lizard.
Sensing danger, the ice-scaled lizard instinctively turned its head. A silver needle grazed its eye and embedded itself in the rock behind it with a soft "plop".
Zhang Hu took the opportunity to draw his sword and retreat. His arm had been frostbitten by the aura of the Ice Scale Lizard, and his arm was covered with a layer of white frost.
Zhang Hu's eyes revealed apprehension: "This damned thing not only has strong defense, but its attacks also carry a deadly chill!"
Li Yan was the most relaxed one. He stood at the back of the group, his bowstring twanging, and arrows shot out like meteors, each aimed at the eyes of the Ice Scale Lizard.
However, the Icescale Lizard is extremely cunning. Once it senses danger, it will lower its head and use its thick scales to block arrows.
After several rounds, only two Ice Scale Lizards were shot in the eyes and rendered unable to fight, while the rest of the Ice Scale Lizards continued their frenzied attacks.
"This can't go on!"
Wang Meng was panting heavily, his short spear already covered in ice shards.
"Their scales are too thick; we can't break through their defenses and are just wasting our time!"
Su Fan stood inside the cave entrance, his golden cudgel gleaming faintly, while the divine figure of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven loomed behind him.
He originally wanted to give the team members some time to get to know each other and improve their skills.
However, the Ice Scale Lizard's defense was simply too strong, and it would take Wang Meng and his group an unknown amount of time to kill it.
The longer the fight goes on, the greater the danger will be in the night.
"Make way, I'll take care of them."
Su Fan's calm voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng and the other three made way for each other.
The moment they cleared the way, Su Fan moved.
He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his body shot out of the cave like an arrow. The golden cudgel spun rapidly in his hand, bringing up a gust of wind that forced back the two ice-scaled lizards that were pouncing on him.
"Since we can't break through their defenses, let's just..."
"smash!!!"
Su Fan roared, and his divine power surged into the Golden Cudgel. The Golden Cudgel, which was originally three feet long, instantly grew to three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in length, with golden patterns covering its body and radiating immense power.
boom! ! !
The golden cudgel swept out with a whooshing sound, smashing directly into the back of an ice-scaled lizard.
With a dull thud, the Icescale Lizard's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the snow. Its icy blue scales shattered and flew everywhere, and black blood gushed from its wounds, instantly turning the snow crimson.
One fatal blow!
Wang Meng and the other three men's pupils shrank, their faces filled with shock.
They knew Su Fan was powerful, but witnessing this overwhelming attack firsthand still deeply shocked them.
The Icescale Lizard, a fourth-tier early-stage Icescale Lizard, couldn't even withstand a single blow from Su Fan!
"Who else? Who else?!"
Holding the Golden Cudgel, Su Fan stood tall on the snow. The oppressive aura emanating from him caused the remaining Ice Scale Lizards to instinctively stop their attack, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.
However, after only a brief pause, the remaining eight ice-scaled lizards roared simultaneously and surrounded Su Fan from all directions.
"Well done!"
Instead of retreating, Su Fan advanced, his golden cudgel dancing in his hands like a golden whirlwind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With three loud bangs, the three ice-scaled lizards were struck by the golden cudgel and instantly smashed into a bloody pulp.
Seeing this, the remaining five ice-scaled lizards were finally terrified and turned to run away.
"Trying to run away?"
Su Fan sneered.
"Chang'e flying to the moon!"
A crescent moon appeared beneath Su Fan's feet, and he instantly caught up with the leading ice-scaled lizard. He swung his golden cudgel down, smashing it into a bloody pulp.
Just as Su Fan was thinking about dealing with the remaining Ice Scale Lizards...
A deafening roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the snowfield, filled with intense anger and oppressive power.
Su Fan's expression changed slightly. He looked up and saw a figure three times larger than an ordinary ice-scaled lizard rushing towards him from the distant snow slope.
This ice-scaled lizard is dark blue all over, with strange runes covering its scales. Its eyes are no longer pure white, but glow with a scarlet light. It also has a sharp bone spur on its head, making it look extremely ferocious.
"The Ice Scale King!" Wang Meng exclaimed in shock, "A sixth-tier beast! The leader of the Ice Scale Lizards!"
A sixth-tier exotic beast, its strength is comparable to a sixth-tier divine master, far surpassing that of an ordinary ice-scaled lizard.
Ice Scale King rushed forward and saw the dead Ice Scale Lizard on the ground. Its scarlet eyes stared intently at Su Fan.
Then it let out an angry roar, spewing out a stream of icy air that rushed straight at Su Fan's face.
The chill emanating from the Ice Scale King was several times stronger than that of the Ice Scale Lizard. Wherever the chill passed, water molecules in the air were frozen, forming icicles.
Su Fan's eyes narrowed, and he swung his staff horizontally, the golden wind from the staff dispersing the cold air.
"So what if it's a sixth-tier beast? We'll take care of it all today!"
Seeing that its cold energy was ineffective, the Ice Scale King suddenly pounced on Su Fan, its speed more than twice that of an ordinary Ice Scale Lizard.
Its sharp claws, accompanied by a slicing sound as they tore through the air, reached for Su Fan's head.
Su Fan dodged the sharp claws to the side, and then smashed the Golden Cudgel towards the Ice Scale King's head.
clang!
The golden cudgel was actually bounced back; the Ice Scale King's head was even stronger than its body!
"That's interesting."
Su Fan's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected the Ice Scale King's defense to be so formidable.
The Ice Scale King missed its first attack, then turned around and struck again with its claw, simultaneously spewing out a cloud of icy mist that enveloped Su Fan's vision.
The icy mist contains intense cold that can freeze the divine power of a divine being.
Su Fan had already sensed the abnormality of the ice mist. He circulated his divine power, and a golden light shield appeared on his body, isolating the ice mist from the outside.
Holding the golden cudgel, he sensed the location of the Ice Scale King amidst the icy mist.
Suddenly, Su Fan's eyes sharpened, and he swung his golden cudgel fiercely to the left.
boom!
The golden cudgel slammed solidly into the Ice Scale King's ribs. This time, Su Fan used all his strength.
A perfect shot!
The Ice Scale King let out a painful roar, its body being smashed backward, several pieces of its deep blue scales shattering, and black blood gushing out.
However, this did not solve the Ice Scale King problem. After taking a few steps back, the Ice Scale King regained its footing, its scarlet eyes filled with madness, and it pounced on Su Fan again.
"We can't afford to waste any more time!"
Su Fan thought to himself that he needed to end the battle as soon as possible to avoid attracting more alien beasts.
Su Fan took a deep breath, and the divine image of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven behind him became more solid, with golden divine power surging into the Golden Cudgel like a tide.
"Supernatural Power: Manifesting the Laws of Heaven and Earth!"
Su Fan's body instantly swelled, transforming into a giant three zhang tall. His golden cudgel also grew larger, reaching a length of over ten zhang and the thickness of a bowl.
Wang Meng and the other three watched in stunned silence. It was the first time they had ever seen Su Fan use this move in person; they had only seen it through live streams before.
When the Ice Scale King saw Su Fan's enlarged body, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes, but it still did not back down and pounced on him madly.
Su Fan looked down at it, a cold glint in his eyes. He raised the golden cudgel high and then slammed it down.
"Die!"
After using the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique, Su Fan's strength increased several times over, and this strike carried a world-destroying momentum.
The Ice Scale King tried to dodge, but found that his body was locked by an invisible force and he could not move at all.
boom!!!
The golden cudgel slammed heavily onto the Ice Scale King's head, instantly shattering its scales and breaking its bone spikes, smashing the Ice Scale King's head to pieces.
Its massive body twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
The sixth-tier alien beast, the Ice Scale King, is dead!
Su Fan withdrew his Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power, returning to his normal size, and the golden cudgel in his hand also returned to its original form.
He took a breath; that blow had drained a lot of his divine power, and the exertion was quite significant.
Wang Meng and the other three rushed forward, their faces filled with awe as they looked at the corpse of the Ice Scale King on the ground.
"Mr. Su, you're amazing! You killed a sixth-tier beast with a single blow!"
Su Fan waved his hand.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the five returned to the cave.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the five packed their belongings and set off into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.
With Wang Meng and three other Divine Guardians familiar with the mountainous terrain, they moved very quickly, avoiding many of the beast lairs along the way.
Su Fan and the other three arrived at their destination without any problems.
Before me lay a lush, verdant valley, flanked by towering peaks covered in snow.
At the entrance to the valley, two enormous ancient pine trees stand majestically, their trunks twisting like dragons, just as Yuan Qingsheng described them as "two dragons guarding the gate."
Deep in the valley, the sound of a waterfall could be faintly heard. The sound was crisp and melodious, like the ringing of bells. It was the Bell Waterfall!
"Hidden Dragon Valley! We've arrived!"
Wang Meng said excitedly, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Looking at the valley before him, Su Fan was also very happy.
Hidden Dragon Valley, the statue of the Qilin deity may be located here!
I hope I won't let him down!
Su Fan wiped his eyes with his hand, activating his supernatural power.
Sharp eyes!
Su Fan's gaze pierced through all the taboos and directly saw the scene inside Hidden Dragon Valley.
Through his Fiery Eyes, Su Fan saw that Hidden Dragon Valley was shrouded in mist, with jagged rocks and a clear stream meandering through it.
At the end of the stream, a huge statue of the Qilin deity stands on a high platform, exuding a mysterious aura.
However, a strange light flickered around the statue of the Qilin deity, as if it were protected by a powerful restriction.
Su Fan's face lit up with joy: "I saw the statue of the Qilin deity! It's deep in the valley!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng and the others were all delighted.
"Mr. Su, what should we do now?"
Wang Meng asked.
"There are ancient restrictions here; we cannot force our way through."
Su Fan looked towards the entrance of the valley and found a faint light curtain at the entrance, covered with ancient runes, radiating a powerful restrictive force.
At the same time, Su Fan took out a barrier-breaking talisman from the system space.
"Hopefully, this barrier-breaking talisman will work."
Su Fan thought to himself.
Su Fan walked to the light screen and affixed the barrier-breaking talisman to it. The talisman instantly emitted a white light.
The runes on the light screen began to flicker violently, and the power of the restriction was noticeably weakened.
"efficient!"
Su Fan's face lit up with joy.
However, before he could even feel happy, the light screen returned to normal.
I tried several more times, but all attempts failed.
Su Fan said helplessly, "This restriction can't be broken, it seems you'll have to stay here."
Su Fan had hoped to open the barrier and bring Wang Meng and the other three in, but it seems that it's still not possible.
Su Fan himself has a way to get in.
Wang Meng and the other three nodded in agreement when they heard Su Fan's words.
Although they wanted to go in and take a look, it now seems hopeless.
Seeing that the others had no objections, Su Fan took a deep breath and wiped his forehead with his hand.
Suddenly, a vertical eye appeared on his forehead.
At the same time, the vertical eye emitted a golden light, which shone on the light screen.
Then, Su Fan transformed into a small bird with incredible speed and flew inside with a "whoosh".
Inside the Hidden Dragon Valley!
After successfully entering Hidden Dragon Valley, Su Fan headed straight for Qilin Valley within it.
After walking for about half an hour, a wide open space appeared ahead, with a stone platform on it and a statue of a deity placed on it.
The deity statue had the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, and a single horn with flesh, and its body was covered with colorful scales. It was a Qilin statue!
Su Fan strode to the stone platform, looked up at the statue of the Qilin deity, and felt a deep sense of awe.
This is the legendary Qilin, an auspicious beast of China!
Su Fan hadn't expected to find the Qilin deity statue so easily.
Actually, Su Fan didn't have much hope before he came.
Su Fan was overjoyed and wanted to take the Qilin deity statue for himself.
However, just as Su Fan was about to approach, suddenly, the Qilin God statue shone brightly, and a phantom figure emerged from the statue.
This figure exuded a gentle yet majestic aura; it was the divine shadow of the Qilin deity. He sized up Su Fan for a moment, then spoke calmly:
"Oh? Someone actually found this place?"
The faint voice of the Qilin deity echoed across the open ground.
Su Fan bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Su Fan has come for the statue of the Qilin deity."
The divine figure of the Qilin nodded slightly.
"You've managed to break through the restrictions and get here, so you're not without skill. However, my statue of a god is not something you can just take at will."
Su Fan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Senior, how can I take this divine statue away?"
