Huang Qitai peeked at Zhang Chi from time to time, he swore that he had never seen this person, but after looking closely, he felt that this person seemed to be somewhat familiar, and when and where did he deal with him? Huang Qitai couldn't help but peek at it again, and his demeanor was like a young girl peeping at her sweetheart.

This time it was discovered, in fact, Zhang Chi had already found out, and he said to Huang Qitai: "As a guide, it seems that you should focus on the right route." ”

Huang Qitai coughed dryly: "Huo Jiu is leading the way, and this is an avenue, there is no place to turn a corner." "He is the guide hired by Zhang Chi, not the guide of the entire caravan, as long as Huo Jiu does not make a mistake in the general direction, Huang Qitai will not say much.

Zhang Chi said: "Still can't remember when you saw me?"

Huang Qitai replied honestly: "I can't think of anything." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "I will remember it soon." ”

When camping that day, the snow-white lightning bolt walked towards the camp with graceful steps, and the caravan found this wind wolf, the wind wolf was worshipped as a totem by the mountain barbarians, and the snow-white fur wind wolf was close to the existence of gods in their hearts.

Most of the caravan was made up of the mountain barbarians, and they all stood up and saluted as they looked at the lightning.

Lightning swaggered towards Zhang Chi, lowered his head in front of him, Zhang Chi patted the head of the Wind Wolf, Lightning rubbed Zhang Chi's thigh affectionately with his head, Huang Qitai looked at the scar on Lightning's face, and suddenly remembered something, he looked at Zhang Chi uneasily, if the Wind Wolf made a contract with humans, it would remain unchanged for life, in other words, it would be impossible for it to recognize the second master.

Huang Qitai had already guessed Zhang Chi's true identity, but what puzzled him was that Zhang Chi in the past was a beautiful young man in the wind in Yushu, but now Zhang Chi is a short and fat man, but he can be sure that it is a person.

Huang Qitai said: "Is it Zhang Chi?" After speaking, he realized that he had lost his words, and now that he was his employer, how could he call him by his name, and quickly apologized to Zhang Chi: "Owner, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Let's just say we met." ”

Huang Qitai nodded and said with a wry smile: "It should have been ten years ago." "I was worried in my heart, although I knew Zhang Chi, but they ended up unhappy back then, so there is no free lunch in the world, no wonder people will hire themselves as a cripple, do they want to take revenge on me?

Zhang Chi said: "Brother Huang, don't worry too much, the reason why I only reveal my identity now is because there is a lot of inconvenience in Storm City, and it is absolutely sincere to ask you to be a guide." ”

Huang Qitai smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to do it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to help much." ”

Zhang Chi said: "I was also entrusted to escort this batch of goods to Crystal City, and I didn't think about returning to Storm City after I arrived in Crystal City, I wanted to go to the Cold Mountain Plateau." ”

Huang Qitai said: "There is a civil war on the Lengshan Plateau, and you have to cross the long isolation belt, what are you going to do there?"

Zhang Chi said: "Have you heard the news of General Feifeng?" After coming to the Netherworld, he was most concerned about Qin Luzhu, and he also inquired about it side-by-side when he came here, but he didn't hear any news about Qin Luzhu, as if this person had suddenly evaporated from the world, Zhang Chi's last impression was still on the Cold Mountain Plateau, Qin Luzhu broke up with him in the Northern Ice City, according to Zhang Chi's thoughts, a person like her with a strong sense of mission should resist the Netherworld army in the Great Wall of Ice and Snow nine times out of ten.

Huang Qitai said: "I've heard of it, it seems that she is fighting against the Netherworld on the Great Wall of Ice and Snow." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Brother Huang, are you willing to lead the way for me?"

Huang Qitai said: "Thanks to the owner's attention, I don't hide it, if the owner hadn't hired me, I'm afraid I would have died on the street now, if the owner can trust me, I will give the rest of my life." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Thank you, Brother Huang." ”

The lightning gnawed a yellow sheep roasted by Zhang Chi's own hands, and Zhang Daxian looked at this guy with tears and laughter: "Shiqi, how do I feel that I am serving?"

Lightning said: "No matter how good a person's cooking skills are, if there is no appreciator, it is lonely, although it serves me, but I give affirmation and appreciation, and the satisfaction of being affirmed by many yellow sheep cannot be exchanged." ”

Zhang Chi said: "With this rhetoric, what kind of wolf girl can resist." ”

Lightning said: "Sister is like that, there is no leaf in the ten thousand flowers, it is pure." ”

Zhang Daxian gossiped in his heart: "What's the matter?

Lightning listless: "When I'm human, I'm ...... I seem to have infertility ......"

Zhang Chi thought of this thing being green, and he really couldn't bear to hit it again.

After eating, Lightning, who was in a good mood after eating, immediately came to a big landslide because of the mention of this incident, and sighed: "The troubles of wolves, you humans don't understand. The gray-blue eyes glanced at Huang Feixue who was not far away and said, "When she looked at it, it was all wet." ”

Zhang Chi scolded: "Get out!"

Lightning said: "I said her eyes, where the master thought of going, it may be described as watery in the hypocritical language of human beings." The mouth smiled crookedly again.

Zhang Chi kicked it in the ass: "Stay away from me." ”

Lightning said: "If I go too far, who will protect me." ”

Zhang Chi said: "The harem brothers with me keep a certain distance from the caravan, and after the crystal city is handed over, let's continue to set off for the Cold Mountain Plateau." ”

Zhang Chi thought that this sandstorm would pass soon, but on the third day, he realized that this sandstorm would not stop for a while, and the cold wind blew through the Gobi Desert in the Northern Wilderness, blowing up the gravel and floating dust on the ground, covering the sky and the sun, like a huge sandstorm army rampaging in the sky above the Northern Wilderness.

"It's good to wait until we get to the snowfield. The guide Huo Jiu said this, but when he arrived at the snow field, the sand and dust turned into snow, but the wind showed no signs of decreasing, and it had just entered the snow field when it snowed heavily.

Huang Zhulang came to Zhang Chi's side and shouted with all his strength: "Zhang Gongzi, there is a beacon tower not far ahead...... We...... Shall we rest there for a while? Wait until the snowstorm is over and then ......."

Zhang Chi nodded, the empty snow field was not blocked, the wind was raging unscrupulously on this snow field, looking for the gaps in people's clothes, extracting the heat of the human body as much as possible, Zhang Daxian was not afraid of the cold, but other people were already miserable in such weather, and the horses couldn't stand it.

The beacon towers mentioned by Huang Zhulang are very common in the wasteland, and they were used to transmit emergency military information in the past, but after the Black Moon Clan annexed the land of the Shanman Clan, a large number of beacon towers in the territory have lost their meaning of existence, and these abandoned beacon towers often become a safe haven for passing merchants.

The scale of their caravan was not small, and it was impossible for all of them to enter the beacon tower, so Zhang Chi let the members of the caravan enter, and the cattle and the convoy camped on the sheltered side of the beacon tower, and arranged for people to take turns on duty.

Huang Feixue hugged the black mink fur and sent it to Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi took it and put it on her, Huang Feixue blushed and said, "Childe, I'm not cold." ”

Zhang Chi said: "I'm not afraid of the cold, the sword is given to the strong, and the mink is matched with the beauty." ”

Huang Feixue heard him praise himself for his beauty, and his heart was extremely warm, and he whispered: "Where can Feixue Puliu's posture be worthy of the word beauty." ”

Cao Chengguang's laughter sounded on the side: "Deserved, deserved, the most beautiful one in our caravan." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Lao Cao, no one should be dumb if you don't speak." ”

Cao Chengguang said: "If you think I'm in the way, I'll dig a pit and sleep by myself." Although he did not enter the beacon tower to take shelter from the wind, he had his own way, and easily dug a hole in the sheltered place, and drilled into it to shelter from the wind and keep warm.

Zhang Chi said: "Lao Cao, help Feixue dig one too." ”

Cao Chengguang said with a hippie smile: "My cave is very spacious, and the Flying Snow Girl will come in and rest together if she doesn't dislike it." ”

Huang Feixue blushed and stomped her feet, "I'm not going." Beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Chi with watery eyes and said, "I'm with my son." ”

Zhang Chi nodded, came to the wall of the beacon tower and sat down, Huang Feixue spread a blanket beside him and asked him to sit on the blanket, Zhang Chi sat down and beckoned Huang Feixue to sit beside him, Huang Feixue sat down next to him, and whispered: "Is the son cold?"

Zhang Chi shook his head and stretched out his hand: "Touch, it's very hot." ”

Huang Feixue plucked up the courage to touch his palm, feeling that his hand was really warm, and wanted to retract his hand, Zhang Chi held her slender hand and said, "Dressed so thickly, why are your hands still cold?"

Huang Feixue said: "It may be that I am weak. ”

Zhang Chi said: "Lean on me and sleep, I'll help Nuan Nuan." ”

Huang Feixue raised her eyes and looked at him happily.

Zhang Daxian slightly, Huang Feixue's face turned even redder, hiding her pretty face in the dark, but her delicate body quietly moved closer to Zhang Chi's body.

The bodyguard on duty lit a fire nearby, Zhang Chi looked at the fire and couldn't help but think of the scene where they burned the Ice Wind Village, this time their caravan had to pass through the Lingxiao Mountain Range, before coming here, Huang Feihong specially reminded him that there should be a lot of moles inside the Moon Worship Merchant Group, it is difficult to say that this business trip will not leak any rumors, and the possibility of interception in the Lingxiao Mountain Range cannot be ruled out.

Zhang Chi didn't take that group of bandits in his eyes, just a group of rabble, if they dared to come, it would be equivalent to taking the initiative to die, but after the last battle with the wolves, presumably those bandits were already frightened.

looked down at Huang Feixue, who had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Huang Zhulang is a very responsible person, he patrolled inside and out, smiled at Zhang Chi when he passed by him, and Zhang Chi said in a low voice: "Go and rest, I'll guard outside." ”

Huang Zhulang nodded, and when he was about to leave, he heard the sound of flapping wings, looked up, and saw a golden eagle in the air vibrating its wings and landing on a corner of the arrow stack of the beacon tower, Zhang Chi felt that this golden eagle seemed familiar.

Huang Feixue opened her eyes at this time, saw the golden eagle, and beckoned to it, and the golden eagle flew down from above and landed on Huang Feixue's left arm.

Zhang Chi looked at the golden eagle up close and found that it had a golden coat and sharp blue eyes, but it was smaller.

Huang Feixue grabbed a handful of dried meat and fed it, and the golden eagle ate a few dried meat, and then flapped its wings and flew into the night sky.

Zhang Chi said: "This is the one we saw before?"

Huang Feixue nodded and said: "Huang Bohu's golden eagle, we have seen it in the Lingxiao Mountain Range, after Huang Bohu's death, I always thought it was lost, but I didn't expect it to go far." ”

Zhang Chi said: "It seems to have deeper feelings. ”

Huang Feixue smiled: "I used to feed it a lot, and I think it wants to follow me." ”

Zhang Chi said: "A good bird chooses trees to perch, and it also knows how to distinguish between good and bad. ”

Huang Feixue bit her lip and said, "Am I just a piece of wood in Childe's heart?"

Zhang Chi smiled slightly, Huang Feixue moved closer to him again, and whispered: "It's strange to say, Gongzi's body is so warm, is it my delusion?"

Zhang Daxian said in his heart that this is not an illusion, when my samadhi true fire is practiced in vain? said softly: "Sleep, rest well and go on the road." ”

Huang Feixue nodded.

The caravan has long been accustomed to the harsh weather conditions of the Northern Wilderness, on the way Huang Qitai specially explained the reason for the many merchant groups of the Shanman Clan, Storm City is located in the center of the Northern Wilderness, the land of the Northern Wilderness is barren, and all kinds of commodities are scarce, but the Shanman Clan is a nation that is extremely attached to the homeland, and some people have proposed to move the capital, but they have been vetoed every time, so all kinds of daily necessities in Storm City need trade, which has contributed to the formation and development of the merchant group, it can be said that the merchant group of the Shanman clan is all over every corner of the Netherworld.

Zhang Chi said: "Have you ever set foot in the Far North?"

Huang Qitai said: "I also set foot in it hundreds of years ago, but since the Netherworld ruled that land, the Far North has become a forbidden land, bounded by the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, and the five major clans are basically active south of the Great Wall. ”

Zhang Chi said: "The five major clans have already existed in name only, right?"

Huang Qitai sighed and said, "The Black Moon Clan is ambitious and instigated the Mountain Barbarian Clan to join forces to destroy the Chongmu Clan and seize the land of the Chongmu Clan, enslave the clansmen of the Chongmu Clan, and cause the alliance of the five major clans to split. ”

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "The responsibility is all the Black Moon Clan's, don't you have to bear the responsibility at all? If the Huangfu family has no ambition to dominate, how can it be used by the Black Moon Clan, and in the end they will lift a stone and hit their own feet, and they can't figure out the truth of their lips and teeth." ”

Huang Qitai was silent, in fact, most of the Shanman Clan had recognized this fact by now, but it was too late, and the Black Moon Clan had taken advantage of Huangfu Xiu's ambition to unify the Northern Wilderness.

Zhang Chi said, "What is the current situation of the Qin clan?"

Huang Qitai said: "The reason why our Shanman Clan has fallen to the point where it is today is not because the Qin Clan and the Black Moon Clan should be together?"

Zhang Chi sighed secretly, the five clans in the Netherworld Ruins were fighting so fiercely, could it be that these people couldn't see clearly that their real common enemy was the Netherworld in the north of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow? Others couldn't see through it, could it be that Qin Junshi couldn't see through it? It was estimated that they had been in the Netherworld for a long time, and even their minds had become narrow-minded.

Zhang Chi asked about Ji Chang, Huang Qitai had not heard of Ji Chang, and the last time he saw Ji Chang was ten years ago.

Huang Zhulang chased after him from behind, reminding Zhang Chi that they had entered the range of the Lingxiao Mountain Range, which was also the place where the bandits in Ice Wind Village often robbed.

Zhang Chi sent the order down to cheer everyone up.

Huang Feixue summoned the golden eagle, the golden eagle hovered in the air, Huang Feixue has the ability to control the beast, although he can't inject spiritual thoughts into the golden eagle, use the golden eagle's eyes to observe the enemy from the air, but he can also understand the surrounding movements through the communication with the golden eagle.

Zhang Chi can see that Huang Feixue is doing her best for herself, although Huang Feihong has given her to herself, but Huang Feixue still thinks that she has not been recognized by herself, she hopes to make herself feel that she is useful, and her slavery has left an imprint on her soul since she was born, not only inferiority, but also lack of security. Zhang Chi didn't rush to instill in her the concept of equality, otherwise it would scare her and make her panic.

After Huang Feixue communicated with the golden eagle, he said to Zhang Chi: "Childe, there is no problem around for the time being. ”

Zhang Chi nodded, and the lightning followed around, and there was no warning signal.

Huang Qitai said: "After passing through the mountain pass ahead, you can reach the Dark Night Forest. ”

The last time Zhang Chi fled to the Cold Mountain Plateau, he also passed through the Night Forest, and it was there that he encountered the Dubeifeng couple and his Black Warrior Order.

Huang Feixue suddenly said: "It seems that something is wrong." ”

Zhang Chi looked up, but saw the golden eagle hovering in the air, and then swooped down rapidly, looking far away, there were hundreds of black dots in the sky due north that were rapidly approaching the caravan.

Huang Feixue said: "Griffin flock!"

Hearing the news, the caravan suddenly became nervous, Zhang Chi had never met with the griffin, Huang Qitai had experienced all kinds of unexpected situations, he suggested that everyone should disperse quickly, the more the caravan gathered, the bigger the target, the greater the probability of being attacked.

Zhang Chi ordered, and the caravan members quickly dismounted and dispersed, because they were in the snowfield, there was no place to hide.

Thirty archers took aim at the air, and if the griffons were just passing by, if they dared to attack, they would immediately aim in the air.

More than a hundred griffons had already flown over them, and the golden eagle had landed on Huang Feixue's shoulder, still trembling with fear even though it was far away from the sky.

In the dark sky, more than a hundred white-headed griffons flew at high speed and dragged out white beams of light, their speed slowed down significantly when they flew over the caravan, Zhang Chi secretly screamed badly, the griffons were obviously coming at them, and they were by no means passers-by.

After a brief silence, stones fell straight down from the sky, and the more than a hundred griffons clung to the stones, and they threw them from the sky, at a height they were at, let alone fist-sized stones, and even accidentally laying an egg would knock their heads through.

Zhang Chi yelled, "Column shield!"

Cao Chengguang's strain speed was the fastest among all of them, and he realized that the griffons threw stones from the sky, jumped off their horses as soon as possible, and then burrowed into the snow, and the shield was not as strong as the defense of the ground.

One by one, the caravan members took out their shields and used them to protect their bodies. The shield is large, the bottom edge is close to the snow surface, and it is maintained at a certain angle, this is to avoid the stone hitting the shield head-on, and the stone falling at high speed is not inferior to the cannonball fired, and the force can penetrate the ordinary shield.

Zhang Chi held a big shield and hugged Huang Feixue, and the two hid behind the shield.

For a while, the sound of clanging and clanging was endless, and Zhang Chi saw that in front of him, a samurai's shield was pierced by a stone, and the stone that penetrated the shield smashed directly into the samurai's face, leaving a huge bloody hole on his face.

Three members of the caravan were killed on the spot, and a carriage was hit, and the carriage exploded like an explosion, scattering its contents all over the ground.

After the rockfall attack, Zhang Chi shouted: "Archer!"

Thirty archers raised their bows again.

"Shoot!"

With a loud roar, the feathered arrows shot into the air.

As soon as the griffons had finished throwing stones, they swooped down and launched a second assault on the caravan on the ground.

Zhang Chi grabbed the stone on the ground, the heat energy was transferred to the stone, and he raised his arm and threw it into the air, the stone flew out of the air, burned in mid-air, and became a raging fireball, looking like a meteor through the sky from a distance.

The fireball hit one of the griffon's heads, and the griffon's head burst open in the air, and its feathers were ignited by the samadhi fire, and it lost its balance and slammed into the other companion, spreading along the feathers.

More than twenty Wind Wolves split into two wings and wrapped around the battlefield from both sides.

Under the command of lightning, the wind wolves sprayed wind blades at the same time, and their wind blade attack range was limited, and the most powerful lightning could only spray a distance of a hundred meters, despite this, this wind blade also formed a line of defense at low altitude, delaying the speed of the griffons to attack the caravan.

The three griffons couldn't dodge and slammed into the wind blades, as if they had entered a meat grinder, and were instantly shattered into pieces.

The griffon, which had dodged the wind blades, swooped down, opened its beak and picked Huang Qitai up, and Huang Qitai was so frightened that he shouted for help.

A fireball hit the griffon's abdomen, the griffin burst into flames, and the burning griffin tried to fly up with Huang Qitai, and Zhang Chi, who rushed up in time, cut off the griffin's neck with a knife, saving Huang Qitai.

Behind him, a griffin swooped in the air, straight to the back of the scar, Huang Feixue waved his fingers, and a black steed rushed horizontally, raised its front hooves and kicked the griffin's body fiercely, the griffin's body was extremely strong, but it shook in the air, and still did not change the momentum of the attack.

In a flash of golden light, it was the golden eagle that flew up, although its size was several times smaller than that of the griffin, but it was more agile, and it had reached the griffon's head in an instant, and its hard beak pecked out the griffin's right eye.

The griffin was in severe pain and let out a terrible scream, and Zhang Chi stabbed it under the griffin's jaw and directly penetrated its head.

Huang Feixue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Chi escaped, but the back of her head was in severe pain, but she was grabbed by a griffin and braided, vibrating her wings and dragging her into the air.

Zhang Chi roared angrily: "Evil animal, where to go!" He strode towards Huang Feixue, jumped in the air, flew to the horse's back, his right foot was a little on the horse's back, and his body took off again, but the height was still not up to the griffin, when he was about to fall, a white light appeared in front of him, but it was lightning that leaped up, and lent Zhang Chi its back at the critical moment, Zhang Chi stepped on the back of the lightning The momentum of descent suddenly stopped, and then jumped upward, the body jumped up, the height was finally level with the griffin, and the steel knife in his hand slashed the griffin's head, and the griffin's head was split in half.

The dead griffin and Huang Feixue landed on the snow together, and Zhang Chi then fell, kicking away the griffin's body and pulling Huang Feixue up.

The caravan suffered the most damage from the first round of falling rocks, and once it moved to ground combat, the griffon's advantage became less obvious, and with the help of the Wolves of the Wind, the tide was quickly reversed.

Zhang Daxian was majestic, slashed and killed twenty-two griffons one after another, and Cao Chengguang was second only to him in combat efficiency, and a pair of small hands reached out from time to time in the snow, dragging the griffin into the frozen ground, smothering the griffin alive, and there were as many as nineteen griffins killed by his own hands.

Ten minutes later, the battle was decided, and the remaining dozen or so griffons saw that the defeat was over, and they had no intention of fighting and fled into the air one by one.

The archers of the caravan took advantage of the victory and pursued and shot two more heads.

Zhang Chi looked up at the sky, only to see the dozen or so griffins flying higher and higher, and finally disappearing from his field of vision.

Huang Zhulang was in charge of counting the dead and wounded, they had a total of five people, and more than 20 people were injured to varying degrees, killing eighty-nine griffins, and Cao Chengguang was busy digging out the spirit stones from the griffin's body one by one.

Huang Qitai sat on the snow, his combat power was almost negligible, if it wasn't for Zhang Chi's rescue during the battle just now, he would have become a griffin's belly. Witnessing Zhang Chi's amazing combat effectiveness, Huang Qitai secretly admired, even if he was in the best condition, he couldn't compare to half of Zhang Chi's, not to mention that there were wolves to help, and the dwarf was also powerful, haunted in the snow, and the sneak attack technique was unprecedented.

Huang Qitai secretly thought, fortunately he and they were not enemies, but after thinking about it, who else would look at him like this, he couldn't help but feel gloomy when he thought of it.

Huang Feixue twisted her foot when she fell to the ground, Zhang Chi helped her look at it, and she was relieved that there was no fracture.

Walking up to Huang Qitai to see his situation, Huang Qitai said: "Thank you for saving me." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Brother Huang doesn't have to be polite to me, have you experienced such battles in the past?"

Huang Qitai shook his head and said, "Although I have seen griffins, there are only three or five at most, and this is the first time that there is such a scale today." ”

Zhang Chi said: "So let me catch up." ”

Huang Qitai said: "It is no accident that such a large group can be assembled, and there are usually beast masters behind the scenes. ”

"Beast Master?"

Huang Qitai nodded and said: "Actually, the Flying Snow Maiden is a beast master, but her ability is limited, and she can't drive a fierce spirit beast of this grade, but over time, with the improvement of her ability, she should be able to do it." ”

On the side, Huang Feixue was full of self-reproach and said: "Childe, it's all my fault, I can't help at all, and I have to be distracted to protect me." ”

Zhang Chi said: "It is a natural thing for a man to protect a woman, what is there to blame for this?"

Huang Qitai looked around, as if he had something to say to Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi understood what he meant, and said softly: "Brother Huang, let's go over there for a walk." He walked towards the snow hill not far away, and Huang Qitai limped to follow.
