Yi Hao, Bing Yin and Xu Le Jun continued to move forward in the cave. No matter how many dangers they encountered, they were always eliminated.

Although Yi Hao's fire attribute spiritual energy was very strong and formed a fire attribute ring around the three of them, the surrounding rats didn't seem to have any intention of reducing their power. Previously, they were a little afraid, but now, they began to probe.

This rat's spiritual energy was only mediocre. If thousands and thousands of them came, it would be different. If they weren't afraid of death and only wanted to eat it, they would feel that this fire was enough to burn everything.

Yi Hao felt that if these rats insisted on going against him, then this fire would let him test just how strong this peak of the ninth step was, and where its limit would be.

As expected, when these rats couldn't endure it any longer and charged towards Yi Hao's ring of fire, the flames that were filled with spirit energy were like a giant dragon, devouring any prey that came.

The crackling sounds and the burnt stench stimulated the eyes and noses of the surrounding mice. It similarly stunned Icemist and Xu Leyan.

All the rats turned into ashes the moment they came into contact with the fire without any hesitation. They had seen how powerful the fire was, but it would still take some time to completely burn something into ashes.

At the same time that she admired Yi Hao, she also felt that only by possessing spirit energy would one be able to dominate everything. She thought back to the situation and realized that she needed to raise her spirit energy to the peak of her cultivation so that she could follow behind Yi Hao and do things for him.

On the contrary, other than feeling unresigned in her heart, she was also ashamed. Why was she just an ordinary person, on this continent, the strong were revered, while the ordinary people were just ants that were stepped on. If it were not for her status in that place, how could she have the qualifications to stand here?

Xu Le Jun felt that it was necessary to break the stalemate. If she liked Yi Hao and wanted to pursue him, then everything she had right now wasn't enough.

Yi Hao was not a superficial man. He was a strong man. A strong man had to be compatible with strong women to be able to stand together with him, just like, like an ice simile.

Although she really didn't want to admit it, she had to say that the ice simile was truly strong and fierce. It was a person who possessed both strategy and wisdom, and also her most powerful love rival.

Xu Le Jun steeled her heart. When she returned, she would definitely end the engagement with her fiance. That ridiculous marriage was like a prison for her. Not only did it imprison her body and mind, it also made her feel especially frustrated and heavy.

These mice also knew that they were going to die. They knew that even if thousands and thousands of mice were thrown into the fire, they would still turn into ashes. Playing all of their main forces for this little bit of food wasn't worth it.

As a result, these mice slowly started to disappear. Their numbers decreased bit by bit until they couldn't even find a mouse. Yi Hao revealed a smile.

He didn't know how far he had traveled, but the spiritual power that Yi Hao had released started to come back to him. He felt the presence of other spiritual power again, and rubbed his temples.

He guessed that it was another very fierce spirit beast. If he were to ambush it in front of him, it would be another fierce battle.

When Yi Hao and Icemountain Xu Le Jun quietly approached that place, traces of heat were emitted. Yi Hao was shocked.

The place where that python resided was a cold pond. Inside, the water was extremely warm and cold. Walking in front, they encountered a deep mystery. Who knew that it would emit hot air? Could it be a hot spring?

Yi Hao and Bing Yu quietly peeked their heads out from their hiding place and looked inside. It was indeed a hot spring. The surroundings of the hot spring had grown a little.

In the center of the hot spring, there were some lotuses with lotus seeds on them. The lotus seeds were exquisite and cute. There were a total of three lotus seeds.

Yi Hao could feel various spiritual energy fluctuations from each lotus. This lotus seed must be a treasure. Since it's a treasure, then there must be spirit beasts guarding it.

Should we go around it directly or should we discuss the strategy and get the lotus seed before leaving? The Ice Ape asked Yi Hao. Just as he was making his decision, he had already reached this step. Of course, he would take whatever he met.

If he walked away for nothing, wouldn't he have missed out on some of the good stuff?

After discussing it for a while, Yi Hao decided to take the lotus seed down. This water must be the same as the cold pond before, there must be some spirit beasts inside, but Yi Hao and Bing Feng were not afraid.

The Ice Ape was the first to come out. Without saying anything further, it stabbed the wooden spike into the bottom of the water. A red blister appeared in the middle of the water. The Ice Ape slightly curled its lips.

Then the water began to flow faster, and the heat inside became hotter and hotter, and the bubbles boiled even hotter.

The fire attribute spirit energy in Yi Hao's hand had already been gathered in his palm. Bing Yu wanted to lure the thing out of the pool and then let Yi Hao kill him.

It really did come out. It was just a blood-red mouth with suction pads on its tentacles, especially sinister and terrifying. The suction pads on its tentacles even had a few jagged teeth.

They were like blood-sucking insects. If they were stuck to the water, they would be fiercely dragged into the water and eaten by the spirit beasts inside.

The Ice Ape carefully dodged. The spirit energy that was formed into the blade cut the tentacle into two. Then, the tentacle painfully withdrew back into the water, and a blood-red bubble appeared in the water.

More tentacles emerged from the water, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they attacked the ice image. The wood elemental spiritual energy of the ice image was exerted to the extreme.

Using the power of the Extreme Wood Spirit Gathering Art, Bing Feng felt the spirit energy in his body gushing out crazily.

She felt that this feeling was very refreshing. When she runs out of spiritual energy, she would cultivate and gather more, then absorb even more spiritual energy.

Bing Yu didn't hesitate at all. She knew that Yi Hao was standing behind her. If she was in any danger, Yi Hao would come and save her immediately, so she wasn't afraid.

In the battle between the ice image and the tentacles, Yi Hao pressed the spirit energy ball on his hand against the ground. The fire spirit energy quickly spread from the ground into the center of the pool in the shape of a spider web.

Afterwards, the water in the pool became hotter and hotter. The temperature was not what it should be. The spirit beasts inside seemed to sense something was wrong, but it was already too late.
