Qiu Ying didn't have much patience with the ferret, a cold and violent aura erupted around her, the black sword in her arms buzzed, and an invisible sword power suddenly dispersed.

"Squeak-"

The ferret screamed twice, and the little eyes the size of beans flashed with fear, and the fear of Qiu Ying came up, and he didn't dare to think about anything else, jumped down from the tree, and ran away on the snow.

In the evening, when the snow stopped, Qiu Ying followed the ferret to a glacier valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

This ice valley is an extinct volcanic crater, and the rocky mountains around the valley are formed by the condensation of magma from volcanic eruptions. There are also hot springs flowing out of the valley, and the mouth of the valley is made of huge logs as piles, and the middle is filled with soil to build a walled wall, which is enough to be two meters wide, and a three-story guard tower is also built, and in the guard tower, you can see the big river in the distance.

When Qiu Ying came over, she was discovered by the guards in the guard tower, and when she walked under the wall, she was shot by an arrow from him to the snow in front of her feet.

Immediately, a rough voice broke off: "Stop, don't go any further!"

Glancing at the constantly trembling arrow tail, Qiu Ying's eyelids didn't jump, she was very happy, fortunately, the people here also speak Chinese, so it's good to be able to communicate.

"I'm lost, my child is sick and I want to change a little herb. Qiu Ying has a cold temperament and few words, but at this time she is even more concise and clear, and she will explain the meaning in three or two sentences.

"The child is sick? Xiaoshi, go down and take a look. ”

The rough voice on the wall of the wall is a kind-hearted one, and he immediately called someone down to check. However, the man named Xiaoshi did not come out of the gate of the village, but hung down with a basket, and it seemed that he was still guarding against Qiu Ying's deception, and he was very vigilant.

Qiu Ying waited until Xiao Shi came over, lifted the cloak, and let him look at the good baby in the fish skin back basket, and the cold wind blew in, which woke up the sleepy good baby, and shouted in a daze: "Mom." ”

"Sleep, good baby. Qiu Ying said softly, her voice was still cold, but her tone was more unconsciously gentle.

Xiao Shi glanced at Qiu Ying quickly, and the reflection of the snow made Qiu Ying's face even fairer, with a luster like white jade, which made him stunned for a while.

"Humph!"

Qiu Ying snorted unhappily, Xiao Shi's heart was startled when she heard it, she felt an inexplicable crisis, she trembled with fright, she woke up in an instant, looked at her in horror, and hurriedly sat on the basket and returned to the wall.

I don't know what Xiao Shi said when she went up, no one answered Qiu Ying on the wall for a long time, so she thought she was going to be turned away, so she heard a "crunch" sound, a small door on the heavy wall door opened, Xiao Shi stood at the door and said, "Come in with me, Wu wants to see you." ”

Qiu Ying has such a cold temperament, she almost complained, didn't she travel to the world of fantasy on the Internet, and there was even a species of "witch"?

Fortunately, she is still sensible, or now she has a request for help, Qiu Ying suppressed the words of complaint in her heart, thanked Xiaoshi, and followed into the village.

Entering the wall, you can see the whole picture of the valley, except for the direction of the valley mouth, the other three sides of the mountain have been dug out of many grottoes, for dwelling, and the stone ladder and stone corridor have been dug for the passage of people living in the grottoes on the upper floors.

According to the average number of people living in a grotto, all the grottoes are full, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. However, the upper layers of the grottoes are very quiet, and there are obviously no people. Qiu Ying roughly observed it, and estimated that there would be no less than six hundred people in the entire valley, but no more than one thousand.

The valley is a flat slope, there is a hot spring water in the northwest corner of the valley to form a small lake, the shore of the lake grows some fruit trees that Qiu Ying does not know, flowers and fruits are the same tree, the yellow and clear fruit is like a pear, the flower is also pear blossom white, but not a pear tree, the fruit is slightly smaller than the coconut fruit.

In addition to the hot spring lake and the fruit trees, the rest of the land in the valley is planted with some vegetables, such as cabbage, peppers, purple cabbage, lettuce, and leeks that Qiu Ying recognizes.

Probably because there are hot springs in the valley, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the cold wind outside the valley cannot blow in, and the temperature in the valley is very high, and the snow turns into water vapor before it falls. The growth of those dishes was very good and colorful, and Qiu Ying's eyes were bright, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.

How long has it been since she left the Baishan base that she hasn't eaten normally?

Qiu Ying forced herself to withdraw her gaze and asked Xiao Shi about the situation here.

Xiao Shi is only sixteen years old, and he doesn't know much, only that their tribe is the largest tribe within thousands of miles in the vicinity, called the Yan tribe, and the leader of the tribe is Xiao Shi's father, and he is also the most powerful totem warrior in the tribe. However, the highest status in the tribe is not the chief, but the witch.

Wu does not care about the day-to-day affairs of the tribe, but only presides over the rituals of worshipping the ancestral gods and treating the wounded and sick in the tribe during the New Year festival and when the hunting party returns.

In Qiu Ying's view, Wu is the role of a god stick and a doctor, and belongs to the spiritual leader of the tribe.

Qiu Ying was wary of this kind of magic stick, and if she could, she didn't want to deal with witches, but would rather deal with tribal leaders. However, Wu took the initiative to find her, and she couldn't refuse.

What's more, Qiu Ying had an intuition that if she wanted to know the way home, it was useless to find the leader, Wu might know more about this world.

Moreover, the medicine for the good treasure to cure the disease is also in the hands of the witch, so dealing with the witch is unavoidable.

The cave where the witch lives is facing the walled gate, and it is the highest one of all the grottoes, even the grotto where the leader lives is on the lower floor, and the grotto on the same floor is also the territory of the witch, and the animal skin rolls are placed in different categories, all of which have been handed down by the witches of the past dynasties, and only the witch can go in to watch. Of course, when others go in and look at it, they can't understand it.

When Xiaoshi became an adult, he moved out of the grotto of the chief's father and lived at the bottom level.

Probably before, he was frightened by Qiu Ying, or maybe it was Wu You's confession, Xiao Shi knew everything, and he answered whatever Qiu Ying asked.

When she walked outside Wu's grotto, Qiu Ying had already learned a rough idea of the Yan tribe from Xiao Shi's mouth, and when she entered the grotto, she felt that it was really eerie as Xiao Shi said, which made people hairy, and she couldn't help but tighten the cloak on her body.

This is a huge grotto, empty, and there are many murals carved on the cave walls, all of which are scenes related to the hunting of gods, revealing a solemn and reckless primitive taste.

Under the huge mural in the center, stands the witch of the tribe. He held a bone staff in his hand, wore a robe made of animal skins, wore a necklace of various animal teeth around his neck, and wore a crown of feathers and precious stones on his head.

Seeing Wu, the black sword in Qiu Ying's hand seemed to sense a crisis and buzzed, and Qiu Ying also felt an awe-inspiring supernatural power descending in the underworld, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
