Zhang Chi came to He Donglai with joy and said loudly: "Uncle He!"

He Donglai looked at Zhang Chi with a smile, stretched out a pair of big hands to hold his shoulders, and said calmly: "It's okay!

Snow Maiden manipulates the snow to extinguish the flames burning on the cedars, and if they don't, the fire will continue to spread through the Night Forest, and eventually affect their own safety.

Qin Luzhu was worried about the resurgence of the Dubei Summit, and suggested that everyone leave the battlefield as soon as possible, and this battle allowed them to get some loot, including the Dark Knight's mounts, but Qin Luzhu suggested that they better not use these horses, because the Black Moon Clan would easily lock their positions by following these mounts.

The five of them continued their journey through the wind and snow, and after about six hours found a suitable camping spot.

Zhang Chi handed over the task of camping to the three beauties, and he and He Donglai walked to the shelter from the wind, and finally had the opportunity to talk alone.

He Donglai got straight to the point and said: "I came here to take you back." ”

Zhang Chi said: "How do you go back?" was a little moved in his heart, no matter what purpose He Donglai came to the Netherworld, this favor was recognized by himself, and after many days in the Netherworld, he finally had the hope of going back.

He Donglai looked at the three people who were camped in the distance, and said softly, "Where is Ji Chang?"

Zhang Chi sighed and told him about Ji Chang falling into the hands of the Dark Knight just now and almost being killed by Dubei Peak.

He Donglai also felt glad when he heard that Ji Chang had been rescued from the cave: "So Ji Chang still has friends in the Netherworld?"

Zhang Daxian didn't think Ji Chang had any friends: "What are you looking for him for?"

He Donglai said: "Although I know how to leave, I must get the help of a spirit array master, and Ji Chang is undoubtedly the most suitable person." ”

Zhang Chi nodded, no wonder He Donglai would take the risk to rescue Ji Chang, it turned out that Ji Chang was the key person they could go back, although they lost the news of Ji Chang for the time being, but at least Ji Chang was still alive, but Ji Chang didn't come out to help when he fought just now, and he didn't show up to see him afterwards, so he probably didn't plan to meet them.

He Donglai told him how he came to the Netherworld Ruins to look for Zhang Chi, and said that it was a commission from the Mystery Bureau, and in exchange for his freedom, he asked him to bring Zhang Chi and Chu Canghai back.

Zhang Chi vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple, in fact, since Lin Chaolong's death, there has been a lot of evidence that He Donglai was innocent back then, and He Donglai did not have to make a deal with the Mystery Bureau at all, but this reason made Zhang Daxian feel at ease, he and He Donglai met in Pingshui, why should people be willing to take risks for him?

He Donglai reminded Zhang Chi that his identity and the reason for coming should not be revealed to anyone, even Qin Luzhu was no exception, there was only one way to go back, find another portal in the Netherworld Ruins, repair it and wake it up, this is also the reason why He Donglai insisted on looking for Ji Chang, he was not a spirit array master, and he didn't know how to set up the array.

When resting, He Donglai did not enter the snow cave, but chose a tall black maple nearby, jumped to the black maple branch, and chose a suitable branch to tie the hammock, and he could clearly see the range of 500 meters from a high place, if there was any change, he could react at the first time.

The Snow Girl dug two hidden snow caves, thinking that Qin Luzhu and Ye Ying were one, and she and her master were one, but she didn't expect that Qin Luzhu offered to say a few words to Zhang Chi alone, so she could only watch the two of them get into the snow cave she had dug herself.

The flower season of the Netherworld Ruins has passed, and they have all entered the ice and snow season, the long night is long, and they themselves are in the dark night forest, even if there is snow, the light is very weak, and it is even darker after entering the snow cave.

The two of them lay down in the snow cave, Qin Luzhu's delicate body took the initiative to snuggle over, Zhang Daxian understood and hugged Qin Luzhu in his arms, and a big hand naturally fell on her lap, saying that they were born with the same body, and died with the same cave, and now they are still alive, so they will do the afterlife first.

Qin Luzhu said: "I have something to ask you." ”

Zhang Chi responded: "You say." ”

"He Donglai is here to pick you up?"

Zhang Chi remembered He Donglai's previous advice, and said according to their previous agreement: "He said that he entered by mistake, and said that he must find Ji Chang before he can go back." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "Ji Chang, the old fox, it seems that he really knows the way to leave, so we should have interrogated him in the first place." ”

Zhang Chi said: "It's not so easy for him to tell the truth, I don't know who rescued him?"

"It should be the Chongmu clan, the Chongmu clan is good at digging holes, and I think the rescue of Chu Jianghe should also be related to the Chongmu clan. ”

Zhang Chi thought about it, the little red cherry is the Chongmu clan, Qin Luzhu's analysis possibility is very large, Chu Jianghe and Ji Chang both participated in the rescue of the Chongmu clan, for the sake of the little red cherry, Chu Jianghe also caused so much trouble, it is estimated that the Chongmu clan people know how to report it.

Zhang Chi said: "Didn't you say that the Chongmu Clan had almost been wiped out by the Black Moon Clan?"

Qin Luzhu said: "They just abandoned their homes and displaced, but there are still many clansmen alive, and the ethnic group is not extinct." ”

"Sister Luzhu, since the alliance of the five major clans fought against the Netherworld at the beginning, why would the other three families turn a blind eye to the atrocities of the Black Moon Clan?" In Zhang Chi's view, the alliance of the five major clans is just a formality, the Black Moon Clan invaded the territory of the Chongmu Clan, tortured and killed the clansmen of the Chongmu Clan, and the other three families watched coldly, and the Shanman Clan even quietly cooperated in secret, and now because the young lord of the Shanman Clan, Huang Fuxiong, died in Guangming City, the alliance of the five major clans has existed in name only, and the internal war is about to break out.

Qin Luzhu sighed and said, "You have been coming to the Netherworld Ruins for a while, have you noticed that the birth rate here is extremely low?"

Zhang Chi nodded, he also thought about this problem, it is estimated that it is because the people living in the Netherworld Ruins are relatively long-lived, so the people here have adapted to the specific environment, a person can easily live for two or three thousand years, and maintain a young and middle-aged state for a long time, the demand for offspring is naturally not so urgent, so it will lead to a decline in reproductive ability, which is also the self-regulation of biological groups.

"The Chongmu clan is a special case, although they are the weakest among the five major clans, but the fecundity of their clan is the strongest, so the Chongmu clan has always been thriving, before the Black Moon Clan began to exterminate the Chongmu clan, the population of the Chongmu clan has accounted for half of the Netherworld Ruins. ”

Zhang Daxian finally understands now, the reason why the Black Moon Clan launched an extermination operation against the Chongmu Clan is not only because of the attempt for hegemony, but also to compete for living space, the other three major clans ignore the Black Moon Clan's behavior of exterminating the Chongmu Clan, in fact, it is just acquiescence, and no one can give birth, why can you Chongmu Clan be born vigorously, in the long run, wouldn't the entire Netherworld Ruins all become the people of the Chongmu Clan? Thinking about it, it seems that except for the Chongmu Clan, it is rare to see other clans have children.

Qin Luzhu said: " Before I came to the Netherworld, the slaughter of the Black Moon Clan against the Chongmu Clan had already happened, when the Chongmu Clan was stationed on the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, the rear air defense was weak, and the five major clans formed an alliance not long ago, and the Chongmu Clan thought that everyone was unanimous with the outside world, and it was impossible to have internal disputes, but I didn't expect that the Black Moon Clan invaded the territory of the Chongmu Clan at this time, and after the Chongmu Clan got the news, they first asked for help from other clans, but no one helped, and the Chongmu Clan said that they would abandon the Great Wall of Ice and Snow to go back to the rescue, but the army was ambushed by the Black Moon Clan on the way back, and since then, the Chongmu Clan has collapsed。 ”

Zhang Chi said: "This Black Moon Clan is shameless enough. ”

Qin Luzhu said: "It's not just the Black Moon Clan, in fact, the four major clans have reached a tacit understanding on this point, the Chongmu Clan is the first to be eliminated, and now the Alliance of the Shanman Clan and the Black Moon Clan, I'm afraid the target is the Qin Clan." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Is the Qin clan's reproductive ability also very low?"

Qin Luzhu nodded, feeling this restless hand poking into his arms, his pretty face was hot, he reached out and grabbed his hand, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Daxian whispered in her ear: "I want to verify General Feifeng's fertility." ”

Qin Luzhu smiled: "If you move again, I will make you lose your fertility forever!"

Zhang Daxian felt that a hard object was being held up in his lower abdomen, but it was Qin Luzhu who pulled out a dagger and held him against it.

Zhang Chi sighed and said, "If you don't have compassion, you can't warm your hands." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "Rest honestly, we don't have much time to rest." ”

After resting for three hours, He Donglai urged everyone to continue their departure, not to stay in one place for too long, after all, this is the territory of the Black Moon Clan, and the Dark Knight may arrive at any time.

After seven days of arduous trekking in the dark night forest, he was close to the edge of the forest, He Donglai usually rarely spoke, except for talking to Zhang Chi, he had almost no communication with the other three women, and even the night cherry blossom, who had always been cold and difficult to get along with, was a little in awe of him, and it turned out that a person's majesty is usually based on strong strength.

Qin Luzhu unfolded the map to study the next route, even if he officially entered the Northern Wasteland after leaving the Dark Night Forest, there were vast wastelands and barren lands everywhere outside, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Black Moon Clan, it was best for them to choose a detour.

Qin Luzhu told Zhang Chi the formulated route, and asked Zhang Chi to ask for He Donglai's opinion.

Zhang Chi came to He Donglai with the map, and He Donglai has been meeting for many days, although He Donglai said that he would take him back, but until now he has not said a specific way, it should be to find Ji Chang first.

He Donglai listened to Zhang Chi's finished speaking route, and said with a smile: "I don't have any opinions, just do what you say." ”

Zhang Daxian muttered a little in his heart, He Donglai had just talked about leaving the Netherworld Ruins when he had just reunited, and he had never mentioned it again after so many days, had he forgotten?

He Donglai saw his expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help laughing: "There are many things in this world that have different paths and end up together. ”

Zhang Chi immediately understood when he heard him do this, it seemed that the portal to go back was also in the north. He sat down beside He Donglai: "Uncle He, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a six-rank powerhouse martial artist. ”

He Donglai laughed and said: "The division of the martial arts realm is only an external matter, and it can't be measured by external standards when you get here." He grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, melted into snow water and swallowed it, and continued: "The Netherworld Ruins are rich in spiritual energy, and the creatures here are stronger than the outside world in terms of force and spiritual energy. ”

Zhang Chi nodded, aura was meaningless to him, after all, he didn't have spiritual pressure, and he couldn't absorb spiritual energy like others, but for others, such an environment was extraordinary.

He Donglai said: "You should have heard of the Nine Great Spirit Ruins, in fact, the aura in the Nine Great Spirit Ruins is also different, the ability of a specific person in a specific environment will grow by leaps and bounds, I am only the strength of the Four Rank Split Cloud Realm outside, but when I reach the Netherworld, my ability will be greatly enhanced." ”

Zhang Chi said: "You are simply an invincible existence in the Netherworld. "This is not a boast, after witnessing the battle between He Donglai and Dubei Peak, Qin Luzhu and Ye Ying both thought that He Donglai's force was definitely the existence of the peak level of the Netherworld.

He Donglai said: "The most powerful in the Netherworld Ruins should be the Netherworld Emperor, there are too many spiritual masters here, and I may not be able to defeat Dubei Peak, a general of the Black Moon Clan." His expression was solemn, these words were by no means modest, Dubei Peak could continue to grow stronger by devouring the power of the Dark Knight, if it wasn't for Zhang Chi who burned the blood tornado that day and burned Li Shuangtong's eyes, then it was difficult to say whether the final outcome would be true.

Zhang Chi said: "We must find that old fox in Ji Chang as soon as possible." ”

"You really want to go back?"

Zhang Chi said: "I don't want people to worry about me." ”

He Donglai nodded and said: "People have to have a sense of responsibility to live, one month in the outside world is three years here, you don't have to be too anxious, even if you stay here for thirty years, only ten months have passed outside, the reason why I came to you this time is because someone knows that you are still alive." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Who?"

He Donglai didn't speak, and there was a rare trace of tenderness in his eyes.

Although it was fleeting, it was still captured by Zhang Chi, and for some reason Zhang Chi thought of his mother Chu Wenxi, could it be that Chu Wenxi let He Donglai enter the Netherworld?

According to Ji Chang, the only way to leave the Netherworld Ruins is to find the "Tongtian Sutra", which records the secrets of the Nine Great Divine Ruins in detail, isn't what Chu Wenxi has been looking for is the Tongtian Sutra? If she has the Tongtian Sutra and knows that she is trapped in the Netherworld, she will definitely not sit idly by, but why did she entrust He Dong to come?

Zhang Chi didn't understand what happened between his mother and He Donglai, according to his previous understanding, He Donglai's life was almost lost in the hands of his mother, didn't he hate his mother? Whose son is he? Is He Donglai's affection for Chu Wenxi so deep, even if he has been harmed by her all his life, he still has no regrets, as long as Chu Wenxi is in need, he will not hesitate to go to the soup.

Zhang Daxian couldn't understand it, in fact, he even hoped that he was He Donglai's son in his heart, if he felt better in this way, he would be more acceptable, although he had read all the vicissitudes of life, he could be reincarnated as a mortal, and what mortal didn't want to have a heroic father?

He Donglai said: "If you come, you will be safe, and God's arrangement of everything is not accidental. He looked at Zhang Chi meaningfully and said, "You are by no means an ordinary person!"

"I'd rather be a normal person. ”

He Donglai's eyebrows moved, he could understand the meaning of Zhang Chi's words, pursed his lips and said: "Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, but if people really live like grass and trees, then what's the point of coming to this world for a while?"

"Why did Uncle He choose to hide in the sinkhole?"

He Donglai was asked by Zhang Chi, and he was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "Heaven is destined!"

From He Donglai's body, Zhang Chi felt a kind of pathos that the hero wanted to say, the first half of He Donglai's life was obviously unfortunate, and this misfortune was caused to him by his mother, what happened between them? Zhang Chi wanted to know, but it was difficult to speak.

Leaving the Dark Night Forest and entering the vast snowfield, the Northern Wasteland, except for a few cities in the center that are densely populated, is surrounded by a large area of no man's land, and they have stored enough prey in the Dark Night Forest.

On the fourth day of entering the snow field, they came to the vicinity of Crystal City, which was the base camp of the Chongmu clan in the past, and was later destroyed by the Black Moon Clan, ransacking the city, and slaughtering the city for ten days, the most prosperous central city in the Northern Wilderness has become a wasteland.

From their camping site, they could see the ruined Crystal City, the snow covered the entire city, if it wasn't for the Snow Maiden's reminder, Zhang Chi could hardly see that a city once existed there, and he asked a little strangely, "Why did the Black Moon Clan have to destroy the Crystal City?"

Xue Nu said: "Because they encountered the stubborn resistance of the people in the city at that time, and the army of the Black Moon Clan suffered heavy casualties in the siege battle, so they were annoyed and angry, and the vanguard of the siege at that time was Dubei Peak, although he was not the commander, but he was the executor of the slaughter of the city, and he was one of the people hated the most by the Chongmu clan." ”

Standing on a high place and looking around, Zhang Chi saw a faint red glow in the sky due west, which made people have the illusion of before sunrise, and looked at it again, there was really a round of red sun slowly rising from the horizon, it was definitely not the sun, because the light was not strong, and the light was more like the moon.

Seeing the sight in front of her, the Snow Maiden exclaimed, "Red Moon! "The day of the rising red moon is usually accompanied by a snow wave.

Zhang Chi didn't know what the snow tide was, Qin Luzhu and Ye Ying all stopped what they were doing and came to the snow hill where they were standing, the expressions on their faces were very nervous.

The snow tide is like an avalanche on the flat ground, and the whole snow field will have a tidal avalanche phenomenon, and they must find shelter before the snow tide comes, and if they stay on the snow field, they can only be buried alive.

Qin Luzhu has been in the Netherworld Ruins for eight years, she has experienced a snow tide in the past eight years, and she still remembers it vividly, that snow tide caused her army to suffer heavy casualties, and it was also that time when she was almost killed by the Netherworld, fortunately, Huangfu Xiu of the Shanman Clan led the army to rescue her in time, otherwise she might not have had the opportunity to see Zhang Chi alive.

Night Sakura and Snow Girl are both locals, they all know the horror of the snow tide, although He Donglai and Zhang Chi have not experienced it, but listening to Qin Luzhu describe it as an avalanche on the plain, they can already imagine how terrifying this extreme weather will be.

Qin Luzhu proposed: "Go to Crystal City!" Although Crystal City was destroyed, there were still many ruins, and only that ruin could become their temporary hiding place in this vast snowfield.
