"It's time to go back, it's been a long delay, and it will be a problem if someone else finds out that I'm not there. ”

Li Xin'an took Mo Xue to his neck and walked towards the cave.

When he arrived at the mouth of the cave, Li Xinan patted the snowflakes on his body and walked into the cave quietly.

As soon as I entered the cave, I smelled a strange fragrance, and I instantly felt a little drowsy.

"What does it smell like?"

Li Xin'an hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, looked back and forth, and saw Leopard Jiu in a hidden corner of a cave, he had already covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep peacefully, as if nothing had happened before, and there was a half-burned incense stick next to him, which was emitting white smoke.

Li Xin'an walked to Leopard Jiu's side, pulled out the incense, and a strong fragrance rushed towards his nose, Li Xin'an's head suddenly became blank, and he was almost unconscious.

In a daze, Li Xin'an put the incense into the inventory.

The voice of the system rang out: "Ding! Outside items are found! It can be identified by spending 1 creation point, whether it is immediately identified!"

"Yes!" Li Xinan immediately chose to be sure.

"Ding! Identification successful!"

A small line appears next to the half-cut incense in the inventory: Ecstasy (consumable item), made from a variety of psychedelic poisonous herbs, when lit, the fragrance emitted has the effect of calming the spirit, promoting sleep, and when reached a certain concentration, it can cause a person to fall into a deep sleep.

Li Xin'an took a cursory look and stumbled towards his sleeping position, and only after covering the blanket did Li Xin'an begin to think about what was going on.

"I'm so dizzy, it turns out that this incense has the function of inducing people to fall asleep, no wonder the people in the cave sleep so dead. This incense stick has already burned half of it, it is not like it was just lit, and based on the speed at which it burns, it is estimated that it has been burning for more than an hour, and it should have been lit by Leopard Jiu before leaving the cave, in order to let the others fall into a deep sleep, so that no one can find out and go out and kill me. ”

Li Xin'an thought about it and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, Li Xin'an was woken up by a clattering sound, and sat up in a daze, only to see that most people were packing their things, and there was a bright light outside the cave.

Tie Lei Shan walked in front of Li Xin'an, squatted down and said to Li Xin'an: "Haha, brother, it seems that you can't drink, you are drunk like that, and you only get up now, but I don't know why everyone woke up very late today, and they all slept like dead pigs yesterday, fortunately, no wild beasts attacked us." ”

Li Xin'an scratched his head embarrassedly and asked, "Captain, are we going back to Frost City?"

Tie Leishan smiled and said, "Yes, this time I went back just in time for the Lantern Festival." ”

"Lantern Festival?"

Li Xin'an recalled that this world is very similar to the earth, there are 365 days a year, one week a week, if it weren't for the transcendent beings and strange animals, Li Xin'an would have doubted whether this was the real earth.

The Lantern Festival is the largest festival in Frost City, and it is also an annual event that lasts for two weeks each time, and the source of the Lantern Festival is related to the caravans in Zhongzhou.

Frost City is located in the cold north, between the north and the warm Zhongzhou, there is a raging river thousands of meters wide, the Blackwater River, the Blackwater River is turbulent, full of reefs, and there are countless brutal aquatic creatures in the river, few people can pass through, so the Frost City is isolated from the outside world.

During the coldest weeks of the year, the Blackwater River freezes in low temperatures, creating a thick layer of ice on the surface of the river. Only then can the caravan from Zhongzhou cross the Blackwater River, which was frozen thick by low temperatures, and reach Frost City, bringing countless treasures, daily necessities, and novelties.

Whether it is the high-ranking royal nobles of Frost City, or the common people, and even the low-level residents who are struggling outside Frost City, they can exchange the items accumulated in the past year with the merchants of Zhongzhou for what they like in this festival. Not to mention the variety of fascinating performances and delicious Zhongzhou snacks. In the past few days of the caravan's arrival, Frost City has always been filled with laughter, and it is a day that everyone in Frost City looks forward to.

When the caravan arrives, it will be stationed in the open space outside the Frost City, and use the magic technology to create a brilliant light here, dotted with beautiful lanterns everywhere, even at night it is as bright as day, so the people of the Frost City will call the caravan in the past few days as the Lantern Festival, which has the meaning of "Lighting Lights".

This festival has a history of thousands of years, and it seems that this festival has been around since the founding of Frost City, and there will be caravans at the coldest time of the year, and it has never stopped, and the Lantern Festival lasts for a week at a time.

Li Xin'an couldn't help but feel happy, which was one of the few good memories in Liu Xin's mind.

"Then let's hurry up, and I'll help clean up, captain. ”

"Haha, hurry up, I'll go and count the prey again, and we'll go." ”

At this moment, Leopard Jiu came back from outside the cave with a broken corpse on his back.

Leopard Jiu gritted his teeth and roared, "Who did it!"

No one responded, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Leopard Jiu.

Li Xin'an saw through the crowd that Leopard Jiu's eyes were red and he was carrying a jet-black corpse on his back.

There were many penetrating wounds on the corpse's body, the waist was almost completely severed, and the bare skin of the corpse became jet black, and the human form was barely visible.

Li Xin'an recognized that it was Lu Renjia, the injuries on his body were caused by the Ghost Face Demon Spider, and the corpse turned black because of the poison of the Ghost Face Demon Spider.

Tie Lei Shan stood up and looked at the corpse, and said to Leopard Jiu: "This wound was cut by the claws of the animal, and it was poisoned, and the time of death was about midnight, there was no human injury, and he was killed after leaving the cave without permission." ”

Leopard Jiu glared at Tie Lei Shan angrily and said, "How could he run out by himself and run to the Songtao Forest, someone must have sent him out." ”

Tie Lei Shan said: "Pay attention to your tone! There is no absolute evidence, I don't want you to wronged anyone, and it is his fault to enter the Songtao Forest without obeying the order, now put him down, go and help pack his belongings, and prepare to go." ”

Leopard Jiu slowly lowered his head, carried Lu Renjia's body on his back and left the cave, walked to a flat land not far from the cave, put Lu Renjia's body aside, and smashed it to the ground with a fist.

"Boom!"

A shallow pit suddenly appeared on the cold, tight ground.

"Boom!"

The pit has widened a bit.

"Knock"

......

Leopard Nine slammed into the ground with one punch at the same time, and his hands began to bleed.

But he didn't make the slightest sound, like a wounded beast, quietly venting his anger and licking his wounds.

I don't know how many punches were thrown, and a one-meter-deep pit was smashed into the ground, and Leopard Jiu put the body in it and buried it.

The rest of the people gathered around the entrance of the cave, quietly watching Leopard Jiu.

Li Xin'an in the crowd thought silently: "I didn't expect Leopard Jiu to be a man with affection and righteousness, admire, but it's a pity that they want to provoke me, they are my enemies." ”

"Lu Renjia was killed by the Devil-Faced Demon Spider, after the eldest brother erased the memory about me in Leopard Jiu's mind, his memory of me is still stuck in the night when he was drinking, knowing that I have a conflict with Lu Renjia, he may suspect me, but he has no evidence, and I am not afraid of him. ”

Li Xin'an stopped watching, turned his head back to the cave, and prepared to fold the blanket.

At this time, Leopard Jiu raised his head and saw a few leaves on Li Xin'an's hair, Leopard Jiu lowered his head again, looking at the simple grave on the ground, and his eyes gradually revealed a cruel light.
