Glacier

Shang Xun thought and said, "It's winter now, and the river should be freezing soon! It's a good time to find a glacier, and practice the "Flash Step Technique" on the smooth river surface!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly. This was a good idea, just what he wanted.

Under this waterfall, he majored in the "Leg Flashing Technique" and reached the eighth level. The other two flashing techniques were less advanced and improved slowly. He needed to strengthen his practice of these two flashing techniques.

The ice surface is suitable for strengthening the practice of "Flash Step Technique".

A strong cold wind cyclone from the north of Shenwu Continent blew through the Zixuan Dynasty of Dongzhou and swept through the eight hundred vassal states of the human race.

Although Canglan Country is a coastal country in Dongzhou, it was still affected, and the heavy snow in the realm quickly became heavier.

In just one day, the trees and rocks in the entire Luyang Mountains were covered with thick snow.

Luyang is deep in the mountains and winter is extremely cold.

The vegetation has withered, and all animals have begun to hibernate.

Dozens of streams, large and small, gradually converged together in the lower reaches of the valley to form a turbulent river. It is tens of feet wide, quite deep, and stretches for dozens of miles.

On the second day, Ye Fan found that the river had begun to freeze, forming a five or six-inch thick layer of hard ice. This kind of solid ice is enough to withstand the pressure of hundreds of kilograms of weight.

Ye Fan was delighted and practiced the Flash Step Technique on this ice surface.

The dodge technique is a dodge technique, not a light skill. It is a melee maneuver technique. The most critical thing is to step out extremely quickly and use the strong push-back force from the ground to quickly escape.

It is normal to perform it on flat ground, but if it is on smooth ice, the ice surface under your feet is slippery and it is difficult to use force. The pushback force is less than one percent of that on flat ground. This makes practicing "Flash Step Technique" a hundred times more difficult.

Ye Fan slowly came to the glacier and stood firmly in the center.

He meditated for half a year on the smooth moss rocks under that waterfall. Even if the water flow hit hard, he could still control his balance smoothly on the extremely smooth place.

The only problem is that when he practiced the "Flash Leg Technique", he stood on the mossy rock and kicked with one leg without moving. Now, practicing the "Flash Step Technique" requires moving at high speed on the ice.

Ye Fan's eyes showed a calm look, he took a deep breath, stepped lightly, and took a step forward.

"Hi!"

The moment he landed, the ice under his feet was extremely slippery. He instantly became unstable and fell to the ice.

Ye Fan quickly turned over and landed firmly on the ice.

"Come again!"

Ye Fan continued to practice "Flash Step Technique".

Throughout the day, there was almost no pause.

Even though it was snowing heavily and the cold wind was howling like a knife, a faint figure was still flashing across the glacier.

At night, it was freezing cold.

Ye Fan found a rock shelter from the wind and rain near the glacier. Dahui squatted on the ground, like a thick wall blocking all the wind and rain.

Ye Fan was wearing an animal skin coat and leaned next to Da Hui. His long hair was thick and smooth and warmer than a blanket, so he fell asleep warmly.

For Ye Fan, in the deep mountains of Luyang, the sun and moon are meaningless and there is no need to remember them.

The changes of the seasons can be seen clearly from the changes in the mountains and forests.

Ye Fan didn't care about the passing of time at all, and concentrated on practicing. While practicing high-intensity martial arts, his physical body was also strengthened and tempered, and his cultivation level was slowly but steadily improving.

I don't know how long it took, but winter gradually faded away.

The ice on the river began to melt little by little.

The ice layer becomes thinner and thinner, and it will break if you step on it even slightly. The water at the bottom of the river increased and became more rapid.

Whistle!

A ghostly figure of a warrior quickly shuttled across the winding glacier, passing by in a flash, leaving faint shadows behind.

And his true body instantly appeared dozens of feet away in front of him.

"Ouch!"

The mammoth cub, Da Hui, ran excitedly along the river bank, desperately chasing the faint shadow.

It ran very fast, running several feet at a time on all four legs, but it couldn't catch up with the faint shadow.

Suddenly, Ye Fan's swift figure stopped, standing straight like an iron spear pole.

He was half-crouching on the ice, his eyes falling on the ice in front of him, observing calmly and carefully. A few feet ahead, the ice was very thin, and the water flowing under the ice was clearly visible. It was estimated that only a tenth of an inch of thin ice remained.

Such a thin layer of ice will "click" into pieces as long as your palm exerts a little force on it.

"The ice is melting too fast. At this speed, it is estimated that all the ice in this stream will melt completely today. It seems that I will leave here soon. Today I am doing my last practice on the ice! Let's see how far my "Flash Step Technique" can reach this winter!"

Ye Fan thought calmly.

This winter's intensive training has brought his "Flash Step Technique" to an extremely advanced level. Especially the subtle power of one step has reached the pinnacle.

A divine light flashed in his eyes, his feet exploded in an instant, and he suddenly rushed toward the thin ice.

 Snapped! Snapped! ...There was a small sound of ice breaking. The thin ice shattered, but the people had disappeared from where they were.

In an instant, a string of up to seven phantoms remained on the thin ice dozens of feet long.

Ye Fan completed the flash step in an instant. The moment he stood on the ice and stood still, the ice layer was crushed.

His whole body fell into the glacier.

"The ice has melted, and it's finally spring! My "Flash Step Technique" has also been cultivated to the eighth level of 'reaching the peak'! My current cultivation level has also reached the peak of the sixth level of the warrior stage. It is better than the one I started self-study a year ago. At that time, it should be many times stronger!"

Ye Fan fell into the glacier, closed his eyes, and let himself float on the water, enjoying this moment of leisure. The river water where the ice and snow had melted was still extremely cold, but his blood was boiling and his spirit was high.

At the bottom of this river, there is a dark cave covered by water plants.

An ugly big-headed fish monster more than ten feet long lurked at the bottom of the river. It slowly opened its big mouth, with two rows of foot-long slender fangs in its mouth. A pair of dull green fish eyes looked coldly at the movement outside the cave.

As a seventh-grade fish monster, it has been running rampant in this river for decades.

It doesn't know what kind of fish beast it belongs to. It has a large head, a small body, an unusually fierce body, and an ugly appearance. It may be some kind of nameless hybrid fish beast.

But there is no doubt about its strength. There has never been an opponent of sufficient weight in this river. Even if a sixth- or seventh-grade ferocious land beast is accidentally encountered deep in the mountains and is drinking water by the river, if it is suddenly bitten and dragged into the water, it will be a matter of death or life.

Suddenly, it saw a large motionless thing floating on the river, floating downstream.

"Human race!"

The big fish monster smelled the strange scent of the human race and couldn't help being surprised. He flicked his tail and swam quickly towards the thing on the river. In the past, there were occasional woodcutters who went into the mountains to collect firewood and were eaten by it by the river. The taste was still fresh in his memory.

Wow!

The big fish monster jumped out of the water, suddenly opened its huge mouth, and excitedly pounced on the human floating on the water. The bite force of its big mouth exceeds thousands of kilograms. If it bites, it will be broken into two pieces instantly and it will be dead.

"Fish monster?"

Ye Fan floated horizontally and breathed slowly, opened his eyes coldly, and stared motionlessly at a fish monster that came out of nowhere and rushed towards him.

After practicing on the glacier for a whole winter, he encountered a fish monster for the first time, which really made him feel a little strange.

When the bloody mouth was only ten feet away from him, Ye Fan finally moved.

"Flash Fist Technique!"

Ye Fan took a deep breath, kicked off, and jumped out of the water.

He clenched his right fist tightly and unleashed a series of flash attacks.

The seven flashing fists were as fast as thunder, hitting the bridge of the big fish monster's nose above its big mouth, shattering the hard big fish monster's skull like a stone.

"Boom!"

The nose of the big fish monster was struck by a terrifying lightning strike, completely collapsing into a huge hole several feet tall. Its body was also smashed into the water.

The dark, fishy fish blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the entire river red.

The big fish monster suffered severe head injuries and severe pain. It was horrified to find that it had provoked a terrifying opponent that it could not provoke at all.

The attack speed of this terrifying opponent was so fast that its fish eyes could not see clearly. It was at least two or three times faster, which simply made it feel desperate.

The big fish monster endured the severe pain in its head, twisted its body, waggled its tail, and tried to escape by diving into the bottom of the river.

Ye Fan's figure flashed, floating in the river in front of it, with a pair of starry eyes as cold as a deep pool, looking at it coldly, and softly uttered two words: "Death!"

The big fish monster was frightened, but it had no time to escape or counterattack.

I saw Ye Fan raising his leg, and instantly a series of flash kicks hit its huge and thick abdomen. The force of each blow was at least 600 kilograms, and the power of seven or eight consecutive blows overlapped.

"Boom!"

The fish belly with thick defense of the big fish monster was completely penetrated by the power of fear, opening a bloody hole nearly ten feet in size.

The big fish monster refused to close its eyes and floated on the river with its fat white belly turned over.

It never imagined that in just three short seconds, it would die at the hands of a seemingly inconspicuous human race.

...

The river bank.

Upon seeing this, the mammoth cub Da Hui immediately stepped down a big tree with great joy.

Soon a raging bonfire was set up, and large wooden forks were set up on the left and right. A giant fish weighing several thousand kilograms was stuck on a ten-foot-long wooden stick and placed on the bonfire for barbecue.

Ye Fan sat on a wooden pier, slowly turning the wooden stick, letting the fire roast the whole body of the big strange fish, and cooked it as much as possible.

A plume of smoke rose from the kitchen and carried by the wind to a height of more than ten miles.

The fish meat begins to cook, and the aroma is overflowing.

"Moo~!"

The huge gray mammoth body lay obediently at Ye Fan's feet, staring at the big strange fish, its big mouth drooling greedily.

"You're just greedy! I'll give you a piece first and eat slowly. This big fish is enough for us to eat for several days!"

Ye Fan tore off a large piece of fish meat that weighed four to five kilograms, threw it to the greedy Da Hui, and said with a smile.

Da Hui took one bite, chewed it two or three times, and then swallowed it. Then he stared at Ye Fan eagerly, looking forward to the next piece of grilled fish.

"Ye Fan! Haha, I saw a line of smoke rising from here, and I knew it was you here!"

From the mountains in the distance, a young figure rushed over, carrying a large package, waving and shouting excitedly.

"Sun Zaoli! I haven't seen you for a long time. What a coincidence. I just killed a fish beast. Let's eat together."

Ye Fan smiled, saw the familiar figure, stood up and said.

Sun Zaoli rushed to Ye Fan, looked at the huge fish monster on the bonfire in front of him, and said in surprise: "This big fish monster is so huge, with extremely sharp teeth, and its strength is probably above the seventh level!"

He walked around the big fish monster, looked around, and was suddenly surprised and said: "One blow to the head, one blow to the abdomen, and the second blow killed him cleanly. Ye Fan, your strength is getting stronger and stronger! Back then, The ten of us went to hunt the seventh-grade red fire snake, and it took a lot of effort. Now, I estimate that you can easily kill a seventh-grade ferocious beast by yourself."

"After studying on my own in the mountains for a year and a half, there is bound to be some growth! If you concentrate on practicing martial arts, you will be very strong."

Ye Fan grilled a piece of fish, handed it to Sun Zaoli, and chuckled.

Sun Zaoli took it, took a few bites, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I am self-aware. My martial arts talent is average. Unlike you, who is top-notch in runes, martial arts, and beast control. I just have a little talent in business. I can earn It's just some cool money. Thanks to you and Ao Lie, you gave me the furs and other things to sell the ferocious beasts you hunted in the mountains, so I made a little money. Otherwise, I would just be a poor businessman's apprentice. I don't even have the capital to start a business."

Ye Fan nodded slightly.

After this year, although he was practicing alone in the mountains.

Sun Zaoli would go to the mountains to see him and Ao Lie about every month, and bring the valuable parts of the ferocious beasts they hunted back to Luyang City to sell. Next time he came back, he would bring them some body-tempering herbs, healing herbs, etc. Supplies.

Ye Fan saved the time and went back to Luyang City to purchase supplies, while Sun Zaoli used the furs to make some money. Everyone got what they needed.
