As the cave grew deeper, Qin Feng sensed the surrounding area becoming increasingly cold. This sensation was transmitted to Qin Feng's mind through the senses of the Red Alert soldier. This super Red Alert soldier possessed strength equivalent to the late Nascent Soul stage.
However, he was not a cultivator, so his sensory abilities were very low. He could not pinpoint the monster's exact location within the cave, but he could feel the energy within it. The deeper they went, the stronger the energy became. Because super Red Alert soldiers cultivated body-refining techniques, their bodies were exceptionally tough, relying on their innate instincts to perceive everything around them.
Therefore, their sensory abilities were much weaker than Qin Feng's. Even cultivators at the same Nascent Soul stage had far superior sensory abilities compared to super Red Alert soldiers. However, Red Alert soldiers excelled in their powerful physiques; ordinary attacks had no effect on them, and they could endure for a long time even when in danger. This was something Nascent Soul cultivators could not match. Yet, even with such a formidable physique, he felt the cold. This was enough to indicate that the temperature in the depths of the cave had dropped to a level unbearable for ordinary people.
Qin Feng was confident that with his current strength, if he were to switch places with this super Red Alert soldier, he would feel the same, perhaps even colder, to the point where he couldn't move his feet.
This cave was incredibly bizarre. From the outside, there was no indication of it. All Qin Feng could see was a flat peak. Although it had its ups and downs and was uneven, there was no snow or sign of winter in this mountain range. The temperature appeared to be like spring. He never expected that the temperature in the depths of the cave would reach such extreme lows, and that it couldn't be felt at all from the outside.
With this special ability to control temperature alone, Qin Feng found himself unable to compare. The monster in this Level Five spiritual energy gathering place was indeed very powerful and possessed peculiar abilities.
"Could the special means the other party possesses be the power of ice?"
Thinking of this, Qin Feng felt it was very likely that the other party was a master of temperature control.
Therefore, Qin Feng continued to command the super Red Alert soldier to move forward. He intended to see the monster's true appearance and then test its actual combat strength.
Relying on the super Red Alert soldier's powerful physical abilities, Qin Feng was confident that he could meet the opponent and find a way to probe its true capabilities.
Thus, the Red Alert soldier continued to move forward, and the temperature dropped accordingly. Even the super Red Alert soldier was finding it difficult to move his feet. He felt as if he were in a world formed by ten thousand years of ice. With every step, the temperature would decrease. If this continued, the super Red Alert soldier might lose his life after another 100 meters.
The temperature here had exceeded Qin Feng's imagination. Qin Feng hastily commanded the super Red Alert soldier to burn his own power to keep warm. This would consume a tremendous amount of stamina and strength from the super Red Alert soldier, but Qin Feng had no other options. This was a time to fight desperately. If he did nothing, he would freeze to death here before long. Not only would he fail to see the monster in this secret realm, but he would also lose a super Red Alert soldier for nothing.
This would be a huge loss for him. Losing a super Red Alert soldier without gaining anything was unacceptable to Qin Feng.
Even if the Red Alert soldier died the moment he saw the monster, he had to do it. He would use the Red Alert soldier's strength to buy time. Only then could he see the monster in the depths of the secret realm.
Thus, the super Red Alert soldier continued to move forward, and with every step, his strength diminished because a great deal of his power was used to resist the surrounding cold. Yet, even so, a layer of frost still covered the super Red Alert soldier, making him look like an ice statue as he slowly moved his feet towards the depths of the cave.
Time in the depths of the cave seemed to be frozen by frost. Every step the super Red Alert soldier took felt as long as a century. Qin Feng's consciousness was connected to the super Red Alert soldier, and he felt it too.
Although everything seemed normal on the outside, Qin Feng's consciousness, focused on the super Red Alert soldier, felt time slow down. This was a very magical feeling, and also a prolonged torment. Qin Feng understood that this effect was caused by the monster in the secret realm. Its power was immense and bizarre, causing him to experience this illusion of time distortion.
Therefore, Qin Feng continued to command the super Red Alert soldier to move forward. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would soon see the monster because he could already feel a powerful force drawing closer.
Under such harsh conditions, the super Red Alert soldier could still sense a powerful force not far away. This was enough to show that the opponent was very close. He just needed to grit his teeth and persevere a little longer to see the monster's form.
Thus, after a moment, as the super Red Alert soldier took another step forward, the surroundings suddenly became not cold, but even a little warm. A fiery red world appeared before his eyes, and then a giant red mecha stood in front of the super Red Alert soldier.
This giant mecha contained terrifying power, vastly different from the monster in the Level Four spiritual energy gathering place.
It did not have three heads and six arms, only a pair of ordinary arms, and no weapons. It had only one head, looking like an ordinary alien, just much larger in size.
Qin Feng understood that all of this was not as simple as it appeared. This fellow had no weapons in its hands, but it contained even more terrifying power within its body. This was enough to show that its attack methods were not weapons, and it did not rely on weapons for attack.
Seeing the monster's appearance, Qin Feng understood that the monster in this Level Five spiritual energy gathering place also belonged to the domain of aliens. This monster was likely a totem-level figure among the aliens.
There must also be an ordinary alien monster hidden within this mecha. If he could directly kill the alien monster inside and obtain this mecha, his overall combat power would change significantly.
His comprehensive strength could even double with this mecha.
Qin Feng was very clear about the power of this mecha and how terrifying the energy fluctuations flowing on its surface were.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng decided to control this super Red Alert soldier to conduct a test and see what methods the opponent used to attack.
Just as Qin Feng controlled the Red Alert soldier to attack, he found that the Red Alert soldier could no longer move his feet.
The Red Alert soldier's strength was also on the verge of collapse.
Qin Feng was very puzzled, but in the next moment, the super Red Alert soldier crumbled and shattered like mud.
The consciousness attached to the soldier returned to Qin Feng's mind.
