147: Hot Spring Valley, Mermaid Song
After killing the Frost Ancient Tree, Song Ming did not relax at all.
Because the surroundings were almost entirely dense with ice and snow trees, it was impossible to distinguish which one was a Frost Ancient Tree.
Fortunately, Song Ming's Eye of Insight, which had evolved from the Appraisal Technique, came into play.
It accurately pointed out which one was a Frost Ancient Tree.
These Frost Ancient Trees were no different from other trees; they would only attack when prey passed by them.
As Song Ming delved deeper, the number of ice and snow trees around him also increased.
Naturally, the number of Frost Ancient Trees also grew.
Almost every third tree was a Frost Ancient Tree disguised as a normal tree.
Song Ming guessed that he had entered the territory of the Frost Ancient Trees.
Looking around, there were thousands of trees growing on this mountain range.
Although Song Ming's Eye of Insight could accurately identify which ones were Frost Ancient Trees, the sheer number made it difficult to distinguish them.
He simply stopped trying to distinguish them; after all, one Heaven and Earth Seal would suffice.
Whether they were normal trees or Frost Ancient Trees, all would turn to dust!
The Hong-level Heaven and Earth Seal reappeared.
A golden Seal, stretching as far as the eye could see, pierced through the clouds and crashed down with a roar.
The scene was as if the golden sky itself was collapsing.
Perhaps sensing the imminent danger, the Frost Ancient Trees, which had been still and ready to ambush, suddenly pulled out their thick roots deeply buried underground.
They began to move slowly, controlling their roots.
Some of the Frost Ancient Trees even got their roots and branches entangled in their panic, tripping each other and falling to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Even those Frost Ancient Trees not tripped by their companions didn't run far.
The golden Seal pressed down heavily.
It crushed all the ice and snow trees, along with the ice and snow hills they were rooted in, into nothingness.
Song Ming's vision suddenly cleared.
However, compared to the vast mountain range here, the "plain" created by the Heaven and Earth Seal was still somewhat insufficient.
At the same time.
A large amount of experience was gained.
This time, he had killed nearly a thousand level 100 Frost Ancient Trees.
He gained almost 800 million experience points.
This directly pushed his current experience bar to 80 percent!
Song Ming's face showed joy.
He could only say that it was indeed a large dungeon; he could gain so much experience so easily.
It seemed he had really come to the right place this time.
Song Ming rode the Thunder Giant Dragon, flying over the "plain" he had created with a single skill.
Along the way, he saw many more giant ice and snow trees, at least dozens of meters tall.
To prevent any Frost Ancient Trees from being mixed among these trees.
Song Ming spared no effort and unleashed another Heaven and Earth Seal below.
With a large amount of experience gained, his idea was immediately confirmed.
Indeed, many Frost Ancient Trees were mixed among these ice and snow trees, almost fooling him.
He flew for over two hours straight.
Song Ming had only just managed to fly over more than half of the mountain range.
This showed how vast this dungeon space was.
After all, previous clear records rarely went below 24 hours.
Just finding the BOSS took a lot of time, not to mention encountering troublesome small monsters like the Frost Ancient Tree along the way.
He was about to continue riding the Dragon forward until he flew out of this mountain range.
But as he passed through a valley enclosed on all four sides, the scenery below suddenly changed.
The swirling cold wind and snow abruptly disappeared, and even the white snow on the ground was gone, replaced by hot springs emitting plumes of white steam.
Around them grew unknown flowers and plants, standing tall and vibrant, full of spring vitality.
The inside and outside of the valley were completely two different worlds.
The wind and snow stopped completely here, and spring and winter were clearly separated.
This was actually a rare hot spring valley.
Song Ming said nothing, turned around, and charged into the valley.
An anomaly must indicate something unusual.
In such a harsh environment of ice and snow, to find such a warm and comfortable place.
It must be accompanied by great danger.
And he, Song Ming, would certainly not miss such a good place to farm experience.
However, before he could even land in the valley.
Two-meter-long, pitch-black spears shot out from under the water, targeting the man and the Dragon above the valley.
The pitch-black spears were dense, like a giant net, completely enveloping them.
There was no room to dodge.
Song Ming's eyes narrowed, and he pressed his right hand on the Dragon's back.
Immediately, a golden light burst from his palm, completely enveloping the Dragon's body.
At the same time, under his command.
The Dragon gathered its wings, protecting Song Ming.
At this moment, the dense pitch-black spears had already reached the Dragon, clanging as they collided with the golden light.
Bang bang bang bang!
The pitch-black spears disintegrated upon contact with the golden light.
They failed to cause any damage to the Dragon, let alone Song Ming, who was protected by the Dragon's wings.
He looked down.
He saw merman monsters emerging from the natural hot spring pools.
Their upper bodies were similar to humans, but their faces were covered with blue fish scales and their ears resembled fins.
Their lower bodies were entirely fish tails.
Song Ming observed these merman monsters for a moment, and the Eye of Insight immediately relayed their specific information.
【Hot Spring Merman】

"Level 100 merman monsters, quite a bit weaker than the Frost Ancient Trees just now!"
Song Ming showed no fear; he raised his hand, and immediately, dense, giant ice swords appeared in the surrounding space.
Without a word, he directly hurled them at the group of merman monsters.
It was extremely simple and brutal.
If it were another team entering this hot spring valley, they would certainly not be so reckless.
After all, there were thousands of merman monsters here.
They could only lure the monsters out little by little and then encircle and kill them.
However, Song Ming was completely fearless.
He considered such an approach a complete waste of time.
At the same time, Song Ming's actions clearly angered the merman monsters.
They opened their mouths at Song Ming in the sky, revealing jagged teeth.
Then, pitch-black spears shot out from the merman monsters' mouths, meeting the ice swords.
However, these spears were shattered the moment they made contact with the ice swords.
The giant ice swords shot unhindered towards the merman monsters in the hot springs.
And the deadly cold air emitted by the ice swords also froze the hot springs one by one.
Mystic Ice Spirit Sword Technique was a group attack skill after all, so the damage from a single ice sword was naturally not enough to kill these merman monsters.
But freezing them for a moment was enough.
Immediately after, a purplish-red lightning bolt suddenly covered the entire valley.
Below, it instantly turned into an ocean of lightning!
