Chapter 268 Danger and Opportunity
Huff... Huff...
Yun Xiao, after plunging into one of the cave openings, was met with a chilly wind that contained an indescribable coldness, seemingly turning his mind into a haze.
Fortunately, with his powerful Power of Soul, Yun Xiao quickly regained his senses. He remained on guard as he ventured deeper into the Meridian Treasure, oblivious to the dangers that might unfold.
Swoosh!
At this moment, Yun Xiao’s hairs stood on end as he lunged forward without bending in the slightest, executing the Zombie Body Technique previously showcased in the Outer Sect competition.
It was a timely move, for in the very instant he lunged, an icy shadow swooshed right above him from behind, its aura terrifyingly potent.
Yun Xiao sensed it clearly; had he not lunged when he did, he would have likely sustained severe injuries from that force. Indeed, Meridian Treasure was fraught with peril at every turn.
Remaining cautious, Yun Xiao picked himself off the ground only to glimpse a shadow but couldn’t discern whether it was a special kind of energy, a formidable Vein Demon, or an unknown Strange Spirit.
The wind howled through the cave as usual, and about ten yards later, the familiar sound of rushing air reached Yun Xiao for a second time.
This time, well-prepared, Yun Xiao was not as disheveled as before. He stared straight ahead and saw a large bird encased in Ice Crystals swooping down, sending a chill through his heart.
