The snow had stopped, and at the wharf by the Qiu River, Jiang Xun and the three of them, who had already set up their carriages and unloaded the supplies on the ground, were waiting for the skilled boatmen to drive the smallest boat large enough to load the supplies.

Jiang Xun on the side stared at the already frozen river and said, "I can't believe that there can be boats running at such a time." ”

Chu Enoch exhaled a big gulp of white gas and said: "The climate of Liao is cold, and it will only warm up in a short period of time, so some of the ships here can break through the ice, and some can glide directly on the ice, in short, only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without them." ”

"Awesome. ”

"Our ship arrived. Li Shunping pointed to the boat slowly approaching in the distance, and said to Jiang Xun and the others behind him: "We have to prepare." ”

"Why don't you just ask the boatman to help?" Jiang Xun asked.

Li Shunping scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Speaking of which, the funds provided to us by our academy are indeed a bit tight, so we have to use them on the cutting edge." ”

Jiang Xun: "......"

"You don't have to ask, the more you ask, the more embarrassed it becomes, after all, no one can expect any surprises, of course, you have to be cautious first. Chu Enoch said to the expressionless Jiang Xun.

"I didn't mean that. Jiang Xun said.

Li Shunping patted Jiang Xun's shoulder and said with a smile: "I know, I know, I won't care." ”

"Uh......"

By the time the three of them had worked hard to get the supplies onto the ship, it was already dusk, the sun had disappeared into the boundless world, and the snow was falling again.

Due to the dimness, Chu Enoch lit an oil lamp and hung it on the boat, so that they could read comfortably while sitting on the boat and reading a book, but because there were too many supplies, the ship was a little small, and they could only squeeze into a small place.

But even so, they still read with relish, causing the boatman at the helm to look back a few times, and when the sky finally became dark, the boat also sped up, Li Shunping asked Jiang Xun and Chu Enoch to still read, and went to give the boatman a hand. Jiang Xun and Chu Enoch also wanted to help, but they were driven back by Li Shunping, the reason was "The boat is so big, aren't you here to get in the way?"

There was no way, Jiang Xun and Chu Enoch had no choice but to continue reading.

As he was reading, Chu Enoch suddenly said, "How is it, not bad?"

"What's good?"

"This warmth. ”

"If you're talking about something that is still chilling under a blanket. ”

"Pretend, you continue to pretend. Regarding Jiang Xun's words, Chu Enoch replied to what Jiang Xun said to him before.

Jiang Xun smiled slightly, didn't speak, just looked at the book.

Chu Enoch did not continue.

For a long time, for a long time, "Actually, I don't hate it." Jiang Xun said in a voice as low as a mosquito.

Chu Enoch didn't speak, just turned his back to Jiang Xun, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

In this way, the two of them listened to the snow whistling outside the boat, and read under the quiet lamplight. But without warning, Chu Enoch's body suddenly trembled, and then quietly pulled out a piece of paper hidden in his arms with his back to Jiang Xun, and quietly put it away after taking a look.

Jiang Xun rubbed his eyes, as if he was tired of reading a book in this situation.

"Wear more, don't get cold. Chu Enoch draped a coat on Jiang Xun's body and won the latter a slap in the eye.

"To be honest, it's actually you who are cold, so you want to wear more clothes with me, right?" Jiang Xun looked at Chu Enoch, who was also wearing an overcoat, and said.

Chu Enoch patted his coat, picked up another coat from the side, and said, "I just wore it to go out and get clothes for my seniors." ”

Jiang Xun said disappreciably: "Believe you?"

"Huh. Chu Enoch kicked Jiang Xun with a smile and said, "Don't you have any sympathy?"

"Nope. Jiang Xun said categorically.

Chu Enoch was speechless, so he took his coat out of the cabin and went to Li Shunping.

Jiang Xun looked at the coat draped on his body a few times, and finally put it on his body, and then continued to read.

Chu Enoch, who got out of the cabin, saw Li Shunping standing at the bow of the boat not far away, so he walked over.

Li Shunping noticed Chu Enoch, but he didn't stop the oars in his hand, but laughed easily: "Senior Brother Chu, what are you doing when you come out?"

Chu Yinuo put his coat on Li Shunping and said with a smile: "Let's see if you are adapted to the work of a boatman." ”

Li Shunping put aside the oars in his hand, put on the coat on his body firmly, and then pounced on Chu Enoch like a tiger and hugged the latter.

"Ahhh ”

Chu Enoch smiled bitterly and was hugged by Li Shunping, and just as he was about to say something, the boat began to shake.

Jiang Xun rushed out of the cabin almost immediately, and then saw Li Shunping holding Chu Enoch, and was a little speechless:

"Hey, hey, what are you two doing?"

"Senior Brother Jiang misunderstood. Li Shunping let go of the hand holding Chu Enoch, then patted the coat on his body, and said, "You see, I just express my approval and emotion to Senior Brother Chu's actions of caring for seniors." ”

The hull of the ship shook more and more violently, and Chu Enoch smiled bitterly: "Is now the time to talk about this?"

The boatman ran all the way and said to the three of them in horror: "Oh no, it's 'it' coming, it's 'it' coming!"

"What 'it'?" Jiang Xun had just asked, when he saw the boatman kneeling on the ground, his head on the ground, as if praying for something, while Chu Enoch and Li Shunping suddenly changed their faces.

Jiang Xun's eyes had just turned golden and he was about to summon the soul shadow, but Chu Enoch grabbed Jiang Xun, and then said in a low but clear voice: "Put the soul shadow away, this is not something we can deal with." ”

Although Jiang Xun was a little confused, he still put away the idea of evoking the soul shadow.

Li Shunping approached Chu Enoch and whispered in the latter's ear, "Can you be sure it's that thing?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Chu Enoch gave his own answer.

After Li Shunping heard Chu Enoch's affirmative answer, he shook his left hand, and a marble popped out directly from his left hand, hitting the boatman who was kneeling on the ground, and then the boatman was weak and collapsed to the ground. Jiang Xun was very shocked, but then he found that the boatman had only been hit by a certain acupuncture point, and he was not bleeding, so he probably just fell into a coma.

"Hold your breath. Li Shunping said in a low voice.

Jiang Xun didn't dare to hesitate and held his breath. And Chu Enoch and Li Shunping gestured with their hands to something, and then the latter nodded.

Jiang Xun felt that his shoulder was patted, and then Chu Enoch passed Jiang Xun and walked straight to the cabin. Under the gaze of Jiang Xun and Li Shunping, Chu Yinuo quietly took out a big box from the cabin and put it on the other side of the boat under the shaky hull of the ship, and then quietly returned to Jiang Xun and Li Shunping's side.

Jiang Xun looked at Chu Enoch puzzled, and doubts were about to pop out of his eyes, but Chu Enoch just smiled at the former and didn't say anything.

Soon, the ship stopped. But at this time, the air seemed to be frozen by something, and even the moon turned light green, and I watched with bad intentions at what was happening in front of me. All of this makes everything incredibly quiet and eerie. At this time, the boat seemed to be fixed from the bottom to the surface of the river that had been broken through the ice by huge pincers, and there was no normal shaking at all.

Suddenly, two lanterns appeared on the side of the boat...... No, it wasn't a lantern, it was two dark green eyes, and with it came the big hands on the boat, and the huge head that wasn't a fish.

Jiang Xun watched intently as 'it' stretched out his big hand to the big box on the other side of the boat, and then the strange big hand with the bubbling viscous liquid held the big box, the hull of the boat shook for a while, and then the big hand slowly left with the box, and at the same time, the lantern-like dark green eyes also disappeared.

Everything returned to the original state, and the familiar slight shaking feeling returned, but Jiang Xun couldn't hold his breath anymore, he gasped and swayed, and Chu Enoch on the side hurriedly supported him.

"What's that?" Jiang Xun was still panting because of the huge coercion that had appeared before.

"A creature left over from the Old Gods, there's a room in the library dedicated to these things, so it looks like you haven't read the book over there. Chu Enoch helped Jiang Xun to sit on the ground lightly and said with a smile.

"I saw it, just not interested. Jiang Xun quickly relented and said, "Because I think those creatures should just be legends." ”

"Other places are legends, but in our academy ......" Li Shunping patted Jiang Xun's shoulder, who was still sitting on the ground, and said with a smile: "It's a compulsory course, but you've only been in our academy for three months, and you don't know a lot of things." Speaking of this, Li Shunping couldn't help but move his gaze to Chu Enoch's side, and the latter smiled at Li Shunping.

"I see. Jiang Xun staggered to his feet, and Chu Enoch helped him tighten the opening of his coat when he stood up.

Jiang Xun didn't care, just looked at the boatman who was still lying on the ground, and asked, "When will this one wake up?"

"It's just a fainting, and we will wake up soon, but before that......" Li Shunping coughed and said, "We have to dock the boat, after all, we also have to rest." ”

"Then, what about the supplies?" Jiang Xun asked.

"I'll have to figure out a way tomorrow, and the priority now is to rest and avoid that thing. Chu Enoch replied to Jiang Xun.

Li Shunping nodded: "That's right." Then we'll be right away- wait a minute, Jiang Xun, under your feet!"

Jiang Xun immediately looked at his feet, only to find that his weapon, the black stick "Don't Quend", had been pestled straight on the ground at some point, and it was also emitting a faint purple light.

Jiang Xun is also strange, why did he appear here when he was clearly sandwiched between various materials?

"Senior, this is just my weapon. Jiang Xun said to Li Shunping, who looked uneasy.

"Huh?" Li Shunping looked at Jiang Xun suspiciously, and said, "I have never seen such a weapon. ”

"This weapon was obtained by Jiang Xun when the academy assessed Jiang Xun, and Jiang Xun was disgusted by the remnants of various weapons, and finally begged for death and survival. Are you right, Jiang Xun?" said Chu Enoch with a smile.

"Wouldn't it, Senior Brother Jiang?" Li Shunping couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xun didn't care about Chu Enoch's teasing, but held his weapon, while concentrating on the reason why it appeared here.

"You're here for a reason, aren't you?" Jiang Xun asked in his heart.

Bereyi's body trembled, as if answering something.

Suddenly, Jiang Xun figured out something, he quickly observed the surroundings, and soon saw that under the broken ice not far from the river, two faint green lanterns were looming, and a feeling of suffocation instantly filled Jiang Xun's body.
