When the coldest hour of the year comes, the Heishui River will form a layer of ice more than ten meters thick, connecting the northern border and Zhongzhou, and at the same time sealing the terrifying creatures in the river under the ice.

Early morning.

A huge caravan was walking mightily on the ice, accompanied by beautiful music that never stopped.

The music comes from a strange artifact in the caravan with magical magic.

It is a pleasant sound for the friendly, but a magic sound for the hostile.

This caravan is called the Great Zhou Caravan, and it starts from the Great Zhou Kingdom, passes through the Colorful Forest, crosses the Heishui River, and continues to advance towards the Frost City.

On the ornate carriage in the center of the caravan, there was a bright yellow flag fluttering in the wind, on which the word "Great Zhou" was written.

The caravan consisted of thousands of men, men and women, all dressed in thick clothes, shivering from the cold weather of the north.

Armed with weapons, the guards constantly patrolled the caravan's perimeter.

In addition to humans, there are also humanoids such as low, strange-looking goblins and fur-covered orcs in the caravan.

There were also many animals in the caravan, some of which were tamed by humans and were very docile, such as mountain-like elephants, sturdy long-haired horses, and sharp-eyed canines.

They help humans to take on tasks such as hauling goods, carrying people, and patrolling the surrounding environment.

Others are so ferocious that they are kept in cages.

The caravans carried a variety of goods, including elixirs, weapons, food, tools, and exotic beasts......

In addition to the goods, there are also skilled doctors, graceful singers, and even jugglers.

Everyone had a happy smile on their faces and sang cheerful songs to the music.

As the caravan crosses the Blackwater River and steps into the snowy north.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl carefully avoided cars and pedestrians from the center of the caravan, and quietly approached the outside of the caravan, followed by an elegant white cat that could talk.

Her face was like congealed cream, her facial features were delicate, and she had a small bell tied to her arm.

Wearing a close-fitting pale white cotton jacket and a red belt around her waist, she outlines her waist and is a beauty billet that is about to grow.

She was hunched over, looking left and right, hiding behind the caravan guards.

A young man with a horse saw her, and she hurriedly put her finger in front of her mouth and made a gesture not to speak.

The young man smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

The girl clenched her fists in thanks, then grabbed the gap between the guards and ran out of the caravan.

"Wenwen is waiting for me~"

The white cat whispered, following closely behind her.

"Shhhhhhh ”

The girl turned her head to remind the white cat.

Just as she was about to run out of the caravan, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a scar on his face stopped her.

"Third Miss, where are you going?"

The girl's face was like a bitter gourd for an instant, and then she pretended to be happy, turned around, covered her stomach and said with a dry smile:

"Ahaha, Uncle Zhou, why didn't I see you just now, I drank a little too much water, you know. ”

The middle-aged man known as Uncle Zhou was skeptical, and said with a smile:

"Third Miss, you have used this reason seven times along the way, do you want to change it?" ”

The girl smiled embarrassedly: "Ahaha, this time it's true, I'm about to can't help it, I'll go not far away, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Okay, do you need me to find someone to accompany you?"

The girl hurriedly pointed to Bai ** Mi and said, "No, no, I have a snowball with me." ”

The middle-aged man was relieved and said to the cat: "Snowball, you have to be optimistic about Miss, if she runs around again this time, you won't have any dried fish to eat." ”

A shocked expression appeared on the cat's face, and immediately retreated, opening its mouth and saying, "Meow~I ......"

But before he finished speaking, he was picked up by the girl, covered her mouth, and didn't let go no matter how the cat struggled.

"You go first, I'll catch up soon!"

The girl ran towards the gentle hills in the distance.

When she was away from the caravan, the girl let go of her hand and put the cat on the ground.

The cat cried and said, "Meow ~ You lie to people, woo, my little dried fish is gone." ”

The girl laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I finally escaped, and when we find the snow monster, we will give you as many dried fish as we want!"

The cat asked with teary eyes, "Why are you looking for a snow monster?"

The girl nodded immediately: "I heard that the second brother said that the snow monster looks like a monkey, the fur is like the whitest snow, and some can even turn into human shapes, I really want to see it with my own eyes." ”

The cat asked, "But how do you know you'll find it, it's your first time in the North." ”

The girl snorted and replied: "Hmph, who am I, I deliberately read the diary of my second brother before I came, and his diary said that the snow monster was hidden in a cave or tree hole. ”

The cat wailed, "You still read his diary? It's over, there must be no dried fish to eat this time." ”

The girl said in disgust: "Don't howl, you helped me escape, what are you afraid of?"

Let's go, my brother will come and get me back when he finds out I'm missing. ”

"Okay. ”

One man and one cat left the caravan and walked towards the snowfield.

......

A few hours later.

"I'm so tired, Wenwen!"

The cat lay on the ground and wailed.

The girl took it into her arms and said disgustedly: "It's a shame that you're still a lord-level creature, so you can't walk after walking so far." ”

The cat said aggrievedly: "It's all because of my bloodline, I'm a lord-level, and I'd rather be an ordinary kitten who can nap in the sun than fight and kill." ”

The girl touched its head and comforted, "Okay, okay, I'll let you sleep well by the fire in the carriage when I get back."

Hey, there's a tree in front of you, and there might be a snow monster in it!"

In the distance, a dead tree more than a meter thick appeared, and a hole in the tree could be faintly seen at the bottom.

The girl hugged the cat and ran quickly towards the dead tree.

"It stinks!"

Arriving at the tree, the kitten in his arms covered his nose with his paws.

The girl ignored it, crouched down to look into the cave, and let out an exclamation.

"Ahh

Inside the hollow lay a young man dressed in black, covered with a silver blanket, his clothes stained with blood, and a hideous wound on his bare chest.

He seemed to have dreamed of something bad, his eyebrows were tight, and his delicate face was full of pain.

The girl stretched out her palm and gently touched his forehead, it was very hot.

"He's got a fever, and we'll have to take him back to the caravan. ”

The girl said to the cat.

At this moment, the silver blanket on the boy's body suddenly squirmed and threw himself at the girl.

"Wenwen be careful!"

The cat was completely different from the lazy appearance just now, stretching out its claws and quickly scratching the silver blanket in front of it.

The silver carpet was cut into hundreds of pieces in an instant, but these pieces immediately swallowed and gathered on each other, growing larger and larger, turning into a liquid metal ball.

The girl had great strength, and pulled Li Xin'an out of the tree hole, hugged her in her arms and stepped back.

The cat once again stretched out its claws to cut the liquid metal ball that had just condensed into pieces, and immediately turned to chase the girl.

After the cat left, the fragments fused again, only this time the fusion speed was much slower, and when they all fused together, the metal liquid slowly swam in the direction of the girl's run.
