Chapter Eighty-Eight: Adventure on the Mountaintop
As soon as Xue Linglu saw Bai Qing at the beginning, he took off all his defenses, and even chirped aggrievedly, as if he had finally found someone to rely on.
Bai Qing also suddenly had a sense of déjà vu in his heart, which made Bai Qing very puzzled. You must know that the snow-white and crystal deer in front of you has never seen it, and it is not even clear what species it is.
"You know me?"
Hearing Bai Qing's inquiry, Xue'er nodded instinctively, but shook her head in confusion for a moment. It seems that Xue Linglu, like Bai Qing, instinctively feels that the other party is very familiar, but he has no memory of the other party.
The snow spirit deer moved and jumped silently between the branches, and soon came to Bai Qing's body. The two were so close that the sense of closeness suddenly became even stronger.
Xue'er approached, sniffed on the left side of Bai Qing's body, sniffed on the right, and finally arched Bai Qing's arm with her forehead and rubbed it into his armpit. Bai Qing was also very happy by the intimate behavior, and instead hugged Xue'er's neck and stroked her forehead.
"Cher?"
One person and one deer have been in cordial contact for a long time, and the spirit of the phantom box has already come to them, and abruptly shouted the name of the snow spirit deer.
The snow-white deer in Bai Qing's arms was stunned, raised his head and looked at Bai Qing, turned his head to look at the handsome man suspiciously, and then turned back to stare at Bai Qing.
"What did he just call out, Cher?"
Snow Spirit Deer nodded heavily in affirmation, and then Bai Qingyi turned his head to look at the Spirit of the Phantom Box again.
Seeing that this person looked at him, and his eyes were full of inquiry, the spirit of the phantom box shook his head helplessly and said:
"Don't ask me, I don't know why I can call its name. What a strange day it is!"
Indeed, isn't it just today? Since Bai Qing and his party entered the Demon Forest, what thing is normal?
Go to the bear realm and find that the peerless bear king is Kunlun!
The Crane Clan obstructed, but revealed the ancient secrets of the two clans, awakened the phantom box! and even witnessed the awakening of the first generation of the bloodlines of the Crane and Vulture clans in the clan!
Come to the top of the snow mountain, the snow spirit deer who met for the first time seems to be familiar!
Now, the spirit of this phantom box actually called out the name of the snow spirit deer for no apparent reason!
A series of things seem to be vaguely inextricably linked, but they are intermittent and incredible.
"Woo~"
A faint groan sounded, and the person carrying the snow spirit deer moved. Xue'er suddenly became a little nervous, and turned her head to stare at the one she was carrying with concern.
Perhaps after an hour's sleep, the young man regained some strength. Or maybe the movement of the crowd woke him up, and he woke up. I wanted to stretch my waist, but as soon as I moved my arm, the soreness suddenly drowned in, so I unconsciously moaned and attracted the attention of others.
Xue'er lay down gently, and Bai Qing noticed this person. Hurry up and help the man who is lying on his stomach to sit on the boulder. The silver armor had long been removed, and now the young man in only fur clothes took a short rest before slowly pulling off the hood used to keep warm, and bowing his head to sort out the messy hair that had been bumped all the way to cover his eyebrows.
Bai Qing probed a little and knew that this person was a mortal, and the extreme cold on the top of the snowy mountain had no effect on cultivators, which did not mean that mortals could endure it. So he turned around and spread his hands, and with a random wave of his hand, he grabbed some dry firewood out of thin air and piled it up on the side of the boulder. With a snap of the fingers, the bonfire roared.
Sure enough, the mortal man quickly ran to the campfire, spread his hands and body as far as he could, and let the flames dispel the cold around him as much as he could!
The firelight was imprinted on his face, and the silhouette of the face that was not so beautiful in the world, but resolute and masculine, loomed between red and white.
For a moment, Xue'er was stunned. Noticing Xue'er's strange appearance, Bai Qing looked around and finally saw this mortal young man clearly.
"Li Yuanjue?!Are you Li Yuanjue?!Why are you here?"
Bai Qing has rarely traveled far since he was a child, and most of the mortals he knows are from Shuying City. People from the outside world don't know much, and Li Yuanjue is one of the few of them.
Before, I said goodbye to Gulf City, and I never wanted to meet again here. However, this meeting was indeed too unexpected for Bai Qing. On the top of this rarely inhabited snow-capped mountain, he was carried by this familiar snow spirit deer! No wonder Bai Qing, whose heart is already resolute and far better than his peers, is so out of shape.
Bai Qing's exclamation also aroused the curiosity of others. The Snow Spirit Deer and the Spirit of the Phantom Box stared at Bai Qing in surprise, their faces full of suspicion. Of course, the most jaw-dropping thing is the prince of Northern Xia in front of the bonfire!
"You!?white green?white green!"
I recalled that I had climbed hard until I was exhausted and fell into a coma, and when I woke up, I was hungry and cold. But at this time, he met an acquaintance who he didn't expect, and Li Yuanjue was also surprised.
When the two came together, they both felt like they were in a different world. Bai Qing is naturally not the original, and the prince of Northern Xia is not usual. Looking up and down at this unkempt Li Yuanjue, whose face was still a little pale, where was there still the appearance of the heroic prince he had seen before, Bai Qing almost laughed.
After a short period of surprise, Li Yuanjue also carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and what he thought in his heart was no longer for outsiders.
First of all, although he is the prince of Northern Xia, Bai Qing is really not comparable to himself as the chosen one.
Secondly, if earlier, he still retained a trace of arrogance compared to it, then every time he saw Bai Qing again, the transcendent aura that naturally overflowed from his body also continued to consume his pride.
Now, when he woke up, he stood unkempt in front of Bai Qing, although after all, he was a generation of princes, and he would not be ashamed of himself, but such an obvious difference between immortals and mortals still made Li Yuanjue be hit hard.
Bai Qing didn't know what was going on in his heart, and he had a good impression of seeing him a few times before, so he bowed down slightly, arched his hand and said with a smile:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed. ”
Li Yuanjue is also an open-minded person, his mind is restrained, and he stands up straight and bows back:
"You and I are the same age, and there are no outsiders here, so why call those names. How old am I to be you, and it's okay to call yourself a brother with a cheeky face?"
Bai Qing saw that he was bright, and he didn't twist. The two hooked their shoulders for a moment and laughed heartily.
"As soon as Gulfstream City is farewell, Brother Bai Qingxian is even more elegant than in the past, and he is envious of his brother. I just don't know what the virtuous brother is doing on this trip?"
To be honest, Bai Qing really has no clue about the purpose of this trip. He was only chasing the Spirit of the Phantom Box, but judging from the way he spoke to the Spirit of the Phantom Box, the Spirit of the Phantom Box came out of instinct.
Now that Li Yuanjue asked like this, he turned his head and glanced at the handsome man waiting on the side, and then replied helplessly:
"Brother Yuan Jue, don't think too much, I came with him completely out of his instinctive calling. Not to mention that I don't know why, and he doesn't even know much about it. It's just that it feels like someone is in danger!"
"The one who must be saved!!"
Li Yuanjue suddenly turned his head to look at the snow spirit deer and asked eagerly:
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden?!"
Xue Linglu stared at him with big eyes and shook his head helplessly. Li Yuanjue is also a dragon and phoenix among people, and he has a delicate mind, and he quickly strung together some clues.
After a moment's thought, he spoke to the crowd and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I guess we are doing the same thing, I have come to find the Holy Maiden of Helian, and the person who this benevolent brother must save should be the Holy Maiden!"
Bai Qing also had this guess and nodded in agreement. And the spirit of the phantom box did not join the topic from beginning to end, but blindly let go of his divine sense and searched around, but seeing his expression, he should have found nothing so far.
When Xue Linglu heard that Li Yuanjue mentioned the Holy Maiden, she was immediately a little anxious, jumping around and stomping her hooves.
Since the goal is the same, neither is hostile. The group soon divided up their work and began to search for this mountaintop!
However, the divine sense did not have the information of the Holy Maiden's breath, so they had to conduct a carpet search, and everyone scattered from the center of the mountain.
After all, Li Yuanjue is just a mortal, and it is difficult to move in this snow. Seeing this, Bai Qing stomped on his feet, shaking the snow on the top of the mountain to the height of one person. Then with a fan of his right palm, the snow off the ground scattered in all directions. There was no more heavy snow cover, and the search continued.
Soon, the snow spirit deer found something. Standing still and sniffing the ground, there is no clue that this frozen ground is still frozen for years. But the snow spirit deer had a hint of irritability stirring in his heart, and tried to get out of this range, and the feeling disappeared. Come back and feel it again.
The snow spirit deer didn't know why, and chirped in a low voice. Bai Qing and the others heard Xue'er's voice and quickly approached. When the snow deer saw them coming, he stepped on the ground with his front hooves and screamed in his mouth.
Everyone understood, and looked carefully at the ground.
Unlike elsewhere, this is not rock-covered. The hard permafrost is slightly raised, and there are places in the center that are darker in color than the surroundings.
When everyone noticed that some areas were of different colors, they tacitly stepped back to see where the dark dirt extended. Soon, however, they didn't retreat too far and came to an end.
Looking at the area drawn by everyone from under your feet, it occupies a small area, but you can't see any pattern. Bai Qing was still agile and witty, and he jumped into the air first before he buried his head and wanted to look down.
"You'd better come up and have a look!"
The voice was not loud, but it penetrated Bai Qing's suppressed sense of surprise! When everyone heard it, they understood. The spirit of the phantom box instantly came to Bai Qing's side, and Xue'er also set up Li Yuanjue to fly up and levitate in the air.
In the area of three zhang square, a large number of dark red ground forms a huge pattern! Anyone who looks at it here can easily see the whole picture!
"It's blood, look at the shape, it's a lion?!"
"Such a huge lion? Ordinary demon beasts may not have such a physique! This can't be the remains of the king of some kind of lion-shaped demon beast, right?"
"Why was the remains of the Demon Beast King abandoned here, and the people of other clans knew his whereabouts?"
"Woo..."
When the three of them guessed their voices, they suddenly heard the mournful sound of the snow spirit deer.
"Cher, do you know who this is?"
Bai Qing asked, and Xue Linglu shook his head.
Everyone was even more puzzled, but the spirit of the phantom box suddenly moved.
There was a roar below, and the dust settled. That terrifyingly huge remains have seen the light of day!
Perhaps, a long-sealed past will also come out and slowly unfold to Bai Qing!
