"Kid, this hot spring is no ordinary thing. It's not of the mortal world. Just a slight touch could subject your body to the impact of thousands of spiritual qi. The extreme - attribute spiritual qi of heaven and earth collide with each other. If you can't withdraw in a short time, your body will eventually be unable to bear it and explode."
As these words fell, Dugu Bo drew a transparent boundary ten meters away from the Eyes of Ice and Fire, as if drawing an insurmountable gulf between this mysterious area and the outside world.
"Stay inside this circle and watch. Remember, don't cross it even a single step. Otherwise, hmph..."
Just then, an inadvertent gust of wind blew the nearby grass, and a huge black figure slowly slithered out like a ghost. The black scales on its body emitted an eerie green light in the faint moonlight, exuding an indescribable eeriness.
Although its snake head was small, it was full of cunning and vigilance.
The five green ring patterns on its body were like the most exquisite artworks in nature, symbols of the Nine - Section Black Jade Snake. Each ring pattern represented ten - thousand - year cultivation. Its appearance was undoubtedly a wonder of this land.
This kind of soul beast was extremely rare on the entire continent, and each ring pattern was a testament to its cultivation over countless years.
With a cultivation of fifty - thousand years, this Nine - Section Black Jade Snake had power comparable to that of a level - 70 soul master.
Under Dugu Bo's heavy gaze, Chen Feng took an ordinary bamboo whistle. The small object trembled in his hand as if it carried some unknown weight.
Dugu Bo's voice still seemed to echo in his ears:
"Once you can't bear it, blow this whistle. Don't try to run away. Otherwise, you'll become food for that big snake."
After the warning, Dugu Bo's figure disappeared into the night, leaving Chen Feng facing the ancient creature.
The moonlight was like water, shining on the huge body of the black snake. The 幽绿色 scales reflected a strange light in the night like precious stones.
The big snake's eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing the tranquility of the night coldly, casting a guarded and murderous gaze at Chen Feng.
Its body slithered through the grass, and the rustling sound seemed to carry a latent threat. The sound echoed in the quiet night sky, adding a tense atmosphere to the peaceful environment.
Chen Feng knew that once he made any move to cross the boundary, it would pounce without hesitation.
As Dugu Bo's figure completely merged into the hazy morning mist, Chen Feng felt a brief relaxation of his long - tense spirit.
The big snake on the periphery, like a ghost in the night, was intimidating, but in fact, it didn't dare to get close.
Chen Feng stood among these fairy herbs filled with strange halos, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
Each fairy herb was a gift from nature, containing unimaginable vitality and spirituality.
"Haha, all these fairy herbs are mine," Chen Feng thought excitedly. This feeling of discovering a treasure was as if the whole world had opened a mysterious door for him at this moment.
Just as Chen Feng was indulging in the joy brought by these fairy herbs, his gaze suddenly froze in a cold stone crevice.
"This... this is a Snow Silkworm? The top - grade among Cordyceps sinensis, a Snow Silkworm!"
Its body was pure white and flawless, like the first snowflake in deep winter, pure and mysterious.
In this cold environment, it wriggled slowly, exuding a heart - stirring vitality.
Chen Feng's heart was in turmoil. He knew that the Snow Silkworm was a unique treasure among Cordyceps sinensis, with incomparable medicinal value and spiritual energy.
The Snow Silkworm in front of him was not only unusually large in size, but the aura it emitted made Chen Feng feel a strong attraction, a kind of irresistible vitality.
Beside the pure - white Snow Silkworm, a vermilion - colored plant faintly caught Chen Feng's sight, making his eyes light up instantly.
"It's actually a Cinnabar Lily, and it's growing so magnificently!"
Chen Feng's heart was like a stormy sea. The size of this Cinnabar Lily was beyond his imagination. Its petals, as deep - red as blood, were both dazzling and eerie. Each petal was like being cut from the most gorgeous blood - colored silk, exuding an extraordinary and enchanting beauty in its elegance.
He took a deep breath, feeling the almost solid spiritual energy in the air. Chen Feng didn't stop. His gaze kept shifting across this mysterious land, searching for more rare treasures.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning every inch of the land. No tiny detail could escape his search.
Those legendary exotic flowers and herbs, such as the Fragrant Rarity Silk and the Nine - Grade Dragon Mushroom, were now just playthings in his hands. The preciousness of these fairy - grade herbs seemed so ordinary here, as if they were grown just for him.
In the mysterious place called the Eyes of Ice and Fire, Chen Feng walked forward slowly. Each step was on the pale frost and snow, and the cold was bone - piercing, as if it could freeze the blood.
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply. Every breath was like swallowing ice shards, causing excruciating pain.
His target was a white herbal plant growing alone beside the extremely cold Yin Spring. Its flowers were as white as snow, standing gracefully, but exuding a coldness that made it difficult to approach, causing Chen Feng's body to tremble involuntarily.
The moment he decided to pick it, Chen Feng's body suddenly lunged forward. His movement was as swift and accurate as a cheetah's.
The dagger flashed in the cold light, precisely cutting off the stem of the white herbal plant.
The moment the herbal plant landed, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen. An extremely cold aura burst out instantly, and Chen Feng had to quickly retreat, a pained expression on his face.
This large white flower was called the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, a rare and highly poisonous thing.
Chen Feng knew well that even a top - notch existence like Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, wouldn't easily touch this grass.
After picking it, Chen Feng quickly crossed the invisible boundary and came to the other side of the Eyes of Ice and Fire, at the extremely hot Yang Spring.
The temperature here was in sharp contrast to before. Surging heat waves rushed towards him, as if they could scorch the soul.
His gaze quickly locked onto a fiery - red plant. It was the Fiery Apricot Frazzled Plant, blooming proudly in the center of the fire, like a phoenix bathing in flames, beautiful and inviolable.
Chen Feng's movements once again demonstrated his astonishing control. The jade ruyi in his hand gracefully and precisely passed through the hot air, easily picking the fiery - red plant.
The Fiery Apricot Frazzled Plant fell into his palm. Its color was as intense as blood, and it felt extremely hot, like a small sun, containing endless heat and power.
