Chapter 157 Nine Nether Mysterious Ice
If you get it by then, it will probably be snatched away before you can even warm up to it. This thing is different from the Thunder Spirit Pearl. The Thunder Spirit Pearl can only be used by the demon race. If humans want to unleash its power, they must pay a heavy price.

However, the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice is different. As long as you can refine it, no matter you are a human or a monster, your strength will be qualitatively improved. Zhou Chen now takes Leng Ningshuang and the others to stroll around the city every day, searching for clues about the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice.

So-called searching was just a way to deal with the task assigned by their superiors. Leng Yiyao and the others all thought so, so they naturally would not put any effort into searching.

As for the problem of their team's lack of people, Zhou Chen mentioned it to his superiors several times, but they had been playing it safe and not providing him with any new team members, so Zhou Chen no longer had any hope.

Another half month passed. Zhou Chen had been on errands all the time and had no time to hunt monsters. He could only replenish his reinforcement points by eating meat. Now he still didn't have enough reinforcement points and couldn't upgrade his God-killing Technique.

He did not keep the enhancement points, but used them to upgrade the martial art Extreme Ice Bloom, directly raising it to the perfect level.

During this period, Zhou Chen discovered that not only Wu'an County, but also major forces from other places had recently come to Wu'an County.

Because according to the news, the grandfather and grandson are still hiding in Wu'an County. At the same time, on the other side of Wu'an County, in a slum, an old man is lying on the bed dying.

A teenager in front of him was feeding him medicine, "Grandpa, drink it quickly, your injury will be healed." The old man looked at his grandson kindly, "I'm afraid my injury will never heal, you'd better go and don't let my old bones drag you down."

The child did not respond to him but turned and left the room. After leaving, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Late in the evening, the child was feeding medicine to his grandfather, when suddenly there was a noise outside. The old man's originally dim eyes suddenly became cold and stern, "It's bad that they found me after hiding for so long."

Then he took off his storage bag and handed it to the child, "Grandpa is afraid he can't run anymore, so I'll buy time for you. Tieshan, you go first."

"No, grandpa, if you want to go, let's go together. I can't leave you alone," the old man glared at him and said, "Be obedient and go quickly. Grandpa is seriously injured and won't live long. Be obedient and go first. As long as you can survive, grandpa will be able to see clearly even if he dies."

After that, he didn't listen to his nonsense, grabbed his collar and threw him out of the window. As soon as the old man turned around, the door was kicked open by someone.

"Haha, old man, it took me so long to find you. Let's see where you can run today."

After Feng Tieshan landed, he wanted to climb in through the window, but when he heard the sound from inside the house, he hesitated. Finally, he looked through the gap in the window at his grandfather who was facing away from him. Feng Tieshan wiped away his tears and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely survive." Then he turned around and left.

"Haha, I'm tired, I won't run anymore."

"Hand over the things."

After hearing his words, the old man's eyes turned cold, and he took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it. In an instant, the old man's momentum soared, and he didn't look injured at all.

The pill he swallowed was called the Death Pill. After swallowing it, his injuries would be healed instantly and his strength would be greatly increased. However, the price was that he would definitely die in half an hour. However, it was enough to buy time for his grandson.

"The thing is with me, come and take it if you can," and then he grabbed the long sword hanging on the wall and it automatically flew out of his body and into his hand.

"Hmph, beat him for struggling, come on and catch him."

Half an hour later, the old man was half-kneeling in the ruins, dying. The houses around him had all collapsed, and the ground was covered with sword and knife marks. A middle-aged man stood in front of him and looked at him teasingly. The men he brought with him had all been killed or injured, and now only three or four people were left.

He kicked the old man over with one foot, and several people behind him came forward to search for a while, and finally turned around and shook their heads at the middle-aged man.

He quickly walked up to the old man and grabbed him, "Tell me where the thing is?"
"Ahem, you'll never get it."

After hearing his words, the middle-aged man laughed out of anger, "Haha, if it's not on you, then it must be on your grandson. To tell you the truth, I have sent people to chase your poor grandson a long time ago, and I guess he has been caught now." After saying that, the middle-aged man laughed out loud.

The old man was trembling all over, trying to break free from his restraints to rescue his grandson, but he was already exhausted and had no strength to fight anymore.

Then his body quickly stiffened, and the blood in his body instantly solidified and froze. As the middle-aged man squeezed hard, his body shattered into pieces.

On Zhou Chen's side, after a busy day and separating from Leng Ningshuang, Zhou Chen was just about to go home when he suddenly heard a noise coming from a dark corner. Zhou Chen turned around and saw that there seemed to be someone in the darkness.

"Who is it?" After saying this, he immediately chased after him. When he got closer, he found that it was a child with injuries on his body.

Zhou Chen frowned. At this time, footsteps were heard on the roof again, and in a blink of an eye, Zhou Chen was surrounded. "It's none of your business. Get out of here."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen sneered and said, "Who are you? How did this child offend you that you have to use such harsh measures against him?"

"So much nonsense," and then several people drew their swords and rushed towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen's mouth corners slightly curled up, and he knocked everyone down with a few moves. At the same time, each of them broke a rib.

Zhou Chen ignored them but bent down, picked up the child on the ground and prepared to leave. At this time, several people lying on the ground stood up while enduring the pain and threw several hidden weapons at Zhou Chen at the same time.

Although Zhou Chen did not look back, he sensed the danger and was "looking for death". Then he heard a sound of falling to the ground. As Zhou Chen left, several frozen bodies were lying on the ground. Not long after, the bodies shattered into countless ice chips that drifted away with the wind, leaving no trace.

After Leng Yiyao finished cooking, she sat on the steps in the yard waiting for Zhou Chen to come back. When she saw the gate being pushed open, Leng Yiyao stood up and ran over with a smile. She originally wanted to give him a hug, but when she saw Zhou Chen holding a child in his arms, she quickly stopped.

"Brother Chen, who is this?"
"I picked him up on the road. Someone was trying to kill him, so I rescued him."

As he spoke, he brought him back to the room. Zhou Chen then began to check his injuries. There was nothing wrong with the front, but there was a hidden weapon on the back that had penetrated deep into the flesh, and the blood had stopped flowing long ago.

Looking at the black skin, he cursed, "How cruel! You actually use poison on a child." Then he used his inner strength to force the hidden weapon out from him, and at the same time, his magical power of rejuvenation was activated.

Instantly a huge amount of vitality was injected into his body, quickly healing his injuries. At the same time, the toxins in his body were quickly forced out at this moment. Ten minutes later, the little boy woke up. Although his injuries had healed, his face was still pale due to excessive bleeding.

After waking up, the boy first touched his arms, and after making sure that the thing was still there, he climbed up and hid in the corner of the bed, "What do you want?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I saved you when you were being chased just now." Although Zhou Chen said this, the boy didn't believe it at all.

Leng Yiyao also said gently, "You must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat." Then she turned around and went out to get him food. The food had already been prepared, but this guy was just an ordinary child. If he ate the sixth-grade monster meat directly, he would probably be stuffed to death. Leng Yiyao had to make him some ordinary food again.
