Chapter 261: When there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys call themselves kings
Whoosh!
Xia Ping, Jiang Yaru, Nangong Wu, Chu Rong, and Feng Hetang walked into the black house at once. Once they entered, they immediately felt a refreshing smell, which was completely different from the hot air outside.
"It"s so cool!" Jiang Yaru couldn"t help but exclaim. She felt that this house blocked out the sunlight outside, causing the temperature here to not be as high as outside. It had become a holy place to avoid the heat.
Moreover, the area here was very vast, about two to three hundred square meters. It was very s.p.a.cious and empty, and there was nothing there. There were even a few broken floorboards on the ground.
"The materials here are strange."
Nangong Wu looked at the houses here, her beautiful eyes flickering. "The material used to build this house might be a special material." It can absorb the heat of the sun and quickly disperse, so this house will not be affected by the high temperature. "As long as we stay here, it will be like living in an ordinary city on the Yan Huang Planet."
She looked at it curiously, but she could not figure out what it was.
"That"s normal."
Chu Rong nodded. "If this s.p.a.ce used to be inhabited, then they must have thought of various ways to deal with the high temperature here." "The houses they built must be suitable for human survival."
"In other words, if we live in this house, we don"t have to worry about dying from the sun." Feng Hetang was very excited. They had finally found a place where they could live safely.
"It"s just that this place hasn"t been inhabited for a long time, and there"s dust everywhere." It needs to be cleaned before people can live here. Jiang Yaru looked around and frowned. For a girl, dirty places were hard to endure.
But this was the wilderness and an exam, so she didn"t really care.
"Then stay here for the time being."
Xia Ping immediately made up his mind. For the time being, they couldn"t find any other place to live. It would be a good place to live if they could find a house here to resist the high temperature outside.
Furthermore, there was still water here. He had also obtained food like the gemstone fruit. It would not be a problem for him to stay here for a few days.
Soon, the sky darkened and the sun seemed to have disappeared.
The entire world began to howl as violent winds blew and snow began to fall. The temperature suddenly dropped. The originally high temperature world had now turned into an extremely cold world.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and it was bone-chilling. Even a drop of water would freeze instantly if it landed outside. If someone walked outside, even their blood might freeze into ice.
Fortunately, not only could this black house absorb heat, but it also seemed to be able to store heat. At night, these black materials would slowly release heat.
Thus, the temperature within the house was maintained at three or four degrees Celsius. Ordinary martial artists could withstand this temperature.
This was the mystery of the black house. It was probably the technology used by humans in ruins. They had already found ways to resist such high temperatures.
If not for that, there was no way they could survive in this place.
"Fortunately, we found this city. Otherwise, we wouldn"t be able to survive for long at such low temperatures. "I wonder how the other candidates are doing." Jiang Yaru could not help but sigh.
"There are many similar houses in this ruin city." "I guess those people have gone to live in other houses."
"I don"t know about the candidates who aren"t in the ruin city," Chu Rong said quietly. However, there is always a chance to find a place to hide from the snowstorm.
"Go to sleep." I"ve been tired for the entire day. "I feel like I need a good night"s sleep to replenish the energy I spent today." Nangong Wu yawned as she lay on the ground and began to sleep.
Feng Hetang, on the other hand, had already fallen asleep. He was snoring on the ground.
At this time, Xia Ping did not stay in the black house. Instead, he walked out and stayed outside in the ice and snow. He sat cross-legged and meditated, feeling the low temperature of -10 degrees outside.
If someone was watching from the side, they would immediately feel shocked. This was because layers of red light had appeared around Xia Ping"s body, forming an energy barrier that radiated with scorching heat.
Any snowflakes falling from the sky would melt instantly. With Xia Ping as the center, it formed a circle with a diameter of three to four meters. It was surrounded by rising steam.
"As expected, circulating the Pure Yang Indestructible Formula in such a cruel environment is extremely beneficial for cultivation." Xia Ping sat on the ground and began to circulate the spiritual art within his body.
His entire body was like a small sun, emitting endless energy. The blood in his body was vibrating, and his blood was boiling like lava.
Even a low temperature of -10 °C could be driven away by such heat. No cold could exist. From afar, Xia Ping looked like the sun.
Under the stimulation of this low temperature, he could feel the medicinal essence in his body continuously refining. Traces of tyrannical pure Yang true qi emerged and continuously filled his third aperture, advancing towards the peak of the third stage of the martial artist realm.
"These Sandstorm Ruins are simply a paradise for me to cultivate." In the day, I can use the energy of the sun to strengthen my cultivation. At night, I can also use the low temperature to temper my body and refine the medicinal essence in my body. "Cultivating here for a day is equivalent to cultivating in the outside world for a few months." Xia Ping"s eyes revealed a glimmer of light, and he was extremely happy.
Be it extreme cold or extreme heat, his Pure Yang Undying Technique could deal with them easily. The crueler it was, the faster his potential would be stimulated, making him stronger.
…
And at this time, the examinees of the other nine continents also found a huge house in the palace and were temporarily staying there to avoid the violent snowstorm outside.
However, they were still furious.
"That"s awful."
One of the exam candidates gritted his teeth. "That Xia Ping is too domineering and arrogant." He actually extorted two hundred million federal coins from each of us. Why is his appet.i.te so big? "Is there no one who can punish him?"
He was extremely unwilling to accept this. When he thought about how he had to pay Xia Ping 200 million federal coins just for a bit of water, even though he came from a great family, he still felt incomparably pained, as if his flesh had been cut off.
"There"s nothing we can do about it." That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is too strong. "We"re not his match even if we put ourselves together."
"Powerful, my a.s.s." "If my Xuzhou District"s Mu Ban Cheng was here, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d wouldn"t have had the chance to be arrogant."
"When there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys call themselves kings."
"Just wait. "The experts on the nine continents are as numerous as the clouds." "We will definitely be able to find someone to take care of this fellow."
"But tomorrow, we should go to the nearby oasis and look for some herbs to treat our injuries." "If we delay for too long, we won"t be able to save ourselves."
"d.a.m.n, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is really ruthless." He doesn"t have any sense of harmony at all.
"In short, we"ll remember this matter. "Sooner or later, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d will suffer."
The group of examinees grimaced in pain. They were extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do. They were depressed to the extreme, so they could only curse viciously like this, hoping that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d would suffer greatly.
