What Chen Nan and the others did could be seen as burning bridges, or as eliminating witnesses.

If they don't eradicate them thoroughly, and they escape to the front mountain to inform the experts of Qianyuan Holy Land, it will undoubtedly bring great trouble.

Looking at the bottomless cold pond in front of him, Chen Nan glanced at the Black Feathered Chicken and said, "Could this Ancient Cold Spring actually be this Cold Pond?"

This indeed is a headache.

After all, no one has seen the Ancient Cold Spring. If they make a mistake, and the taxes from this pond can't save the junior martial sister, then all efforts will be in vain.

The Black Feathered Chicken tapped its wings on its head, looking as if pondering, and said, "The Ancient Cold Spring is a rare treasure; it shouldn't be so conspicuously out in the open. Moreover, the amount of spring water shouldn't be this much, right?"

"But we've nearly traversed the entire back mountain, and besides this place, we haven't found another spot resembling a cold spring."

While Chen Nan was speaking, the big guy Shi Fanzhen suddenly exclaimed, reaching up to slap his own face, and shouted, "Wow, what is this, so icy!"

Chen Nan looked up only to see a crystal-clear gecko, resembling an ice sculpture, clinging to Shi Fanzhen's face.

"Slap"

As Shi Fanzhen's palm landed on his own face, the ice sculpture-like gecko darted swiftly away, escaping to the ground.

"Wow, you little thing dare to tease me, let's see if I don't smash you to pieces!"

Shi Fanzhen wailed, clashing his double hammers together, stepped up to the ice gecko, and swung his hammer down, instantly creating a large pit in the ice floor, shattering a large patch of ice flowers and ice grass, yet the ice gecko escaped.

But to escape is one thing; this little creature seemed to have some intelligence.

It turned its head from afar, sticking out its snake-like tongue straight towards Shi Fanzhen, in a provoking manner, infuriating Shi Fanzhen to swing his big hammer, and charged forward to smash again.

But the little ice gecko was too nimble, avoiding once again, and continuously taunting Shi Fanzhen.

This big guy's intelligence is just that, with fire bubbling, he kept chasing and striking at the little gecko. Chen Nan beside was shouting to no avail. After smashing down more than ten hammers, the ice gecko's tail was smashed by the big hammer, causing the little fellow to burst into a loud cry, spewing an ice arrow at Shi Fanzhen, and then jumping into the Cold Pond.

Shi Fanzhen was also caught off guard, because upon smashing the ice gecko's tail, he was momentarily pleased and couldn't dodge, shot by the ice arrow in the arm, spilling blood instantly.

"Alright, you little thing, let's see if I don't flatten your head!"

Shi Fanzhen burned with rage, grabbing the double hammers, leaped into the Cold Pond, chasing after the ice gecko.

"Fool, come back!" the Black Feathered Chicken shouted from the side.

Chen Nan was also shocked in his heart; Shi Fanzhen jumped too quickly, and he didn't have time to stop him. He thought: My silly brother, why are you competing with a gecko, who knows how deep this Cold Pond is. If something happens to you down there, what should be done.

Thinking of this, Chen Nan also plunged into the Cold Pond, to look for the silly brother.

The Black Feathered Chicken saw this, called out several times, but received no response, thinking to itself: Well, you all went down, what's the point of me standing up here.

So, the Black Feathered Chicken also jumped down.

Shi Fanzhen chased the ice gecko in front, Chen Nan followed closely, with the Black Feathered Chicken at the end.

This Cold Pond was bone-chillingly cold, who knows how deep it was, falling thousands of meters downwards, and it was pitch dark in front, completely devoid of light. Fortunately, at their level of cultivation, the darkness did not hinder their sight.

"Xiao Fan, stop chasing, it's dangerous!"

Chen Nan watched Shi Fanzhen in the front, transmitting sound through his Divine Sense.

Shi Fanzhen waved his big hammer, fiercely chasing the gecko ahead, echoing with his thoughts: "Brother, don't worry, what danger could be inside, let's just say it's like taking a bath here, though the bathwater is a bit cold."

Noticing this stubborn brother was quite determined to chase the gecko, Chen Nan did not try to persuade him further, closely following him.

After descending another thousand meters, they finally reached the bottom of the Cold Pond.

At such a depth of several thousand meters, the water pressure was immense, which would have crushed an ordinary person alive. However, for Chen Nan and the others, it posed no significant threat.

At this moment, the big guy Shi Fanzhen stopped.

Because, the ice gecko in front had disappeared, and without a target, he naturally couldn't chase further.

Chen Nan smiled helplessly, preparing to call him to the surface, but just then, a dark mass swam forward, quickly approaching, it was thousands upon thousands of ice geckos, an intangible Killing Aura was surging towards them.

The gecko that lost its tail to Shi Fanzhen was swimming at the forefront, clearly having called reinforcements to seek revenge.

Its tongue darted out, immediately shooting an ice arrow at Shi Fanzhen, followed by the gecko army behind, all spitting ice arrows towards Shi Fanzhen.

Shi Fanzhen was startled, quickly maneuvering his two big hammers to fend off the ice arrows.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and even the strongest hero can't withstand being outnumbered. No matter how formidable he was, he only had two hands, unable to protect his entire body, moreover, these ice arrows could pierce through Protective Gang Qi, one careless move would leave him injured.

In no time, the big guy already had several wounds.

Chen Nan rushed forward, thinking these geckos being ice, they must fear the heat, why not burn them with blazing fire!

Although underwater currently, the purple-blue Divine Fire reached temperatures of a million degrees, even the iciest water encountering it would turn into vapor. Chen Nan wielded the God Beating Whip, sweeping it forward, a Divine Fire howled through the water, surging towards the gecko army.

In an instant, hundreds of geckos were burnt to nothingness.

The remaining geckos, seeing the situation unfavorable, emitted a wailing sound, fleeing instantly.

Chen Nan checked his silly brother's wounds, fortunately, they were merely superficial, nothing serious, just as he was about to take him to the surface, the Black Feathered Chicken waved its big wing, pointing ahead, transmitting sound: "Kid, look, there seems to be a cave ahead."

Chen Nan quickly turned to look, indeed ahead was a cave entrance, with three words inscribed at the top of the entrance.

These three words were an ancient script.

Chen Nan didn't know how old this script was, at least it wasn't the language used in the current Tao Realm, nor the language of the Mortal World. He only knew he had seen this kind of writing in Xuan Tianji's ancient texts before.

Coincidentally, he recognized the first two words—Cold Spring.

For the third word, seeing its shape, Chen Nan speculated it should be a "Cave" character, making it the Cold Spring Cave.

Could it be that this cave holds the Ancient Cold Spring?

When Chen Nan thought about this, he was suddenly filled with excitement, quickly taking large strides towards the Cold Spring Cave.
