Half a month later.

The top of a snow-capped mountain.

This mountain is the end of the Burial Star Mountains, and you can reach the newly discovered mine by climbing over it.

"Set up camp. Xia Qingchen saw that it was dark, so he ordered the team to stop and rest.

It is quite dangerous to march in the snowy mountains at night, and it is not to be reckless.

The soldiers camped on the leeward mountainside, and Xia Qingchen came to the top of the mountain and stood on a stone covered with snow.

From here, you can overlook a huge mountain rising from the ground in the distance.

At night, it looks like a giant monster descending from the sky, sitting and lying on the earth.

"No wonder King Liang attaches so much importance to it. Xia Qingchen muttered to himself.

The mountain where the mine was discovered was more than ten times larger than the one occupied by the Zhongyun Realm.

On this mountain, there will be fierce competition between the two sides.

Fortunately, before Zhongyun Realm was clever and mistaken, he withdrew from the mine, and as a result, he was fully occupied by Liangjing.

Now, on that hill are the armies of the two military regions of Liangjing, nearly 200,000 people.

With geographical advantages, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhongyun Realm wants to take it back, unless there is a traitor like Yu Guitian to help secretly.

Xia Qingchen took a breath of cold breath and sat cross-legged, ready to remove the impurities in his body.

After half a month of continuous efforts, the impurities in the body were cleared, and only a small amount remained in the heart.

In another two or three days, it will be completely cleared and the body will fully recover.

Squeak –

Suddenly, a crisp sound fell into my ears.

It was the sound of ice breaking.

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, there is a perennial strong wind, and it is very common for ice to break, but Xia Qingchen's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said, "Come out!"

Ice breaks are a common occurrence, and he doesn't suspect it.

But what is suspicious is that the broken ice cube did not make a sound of landing.

There is only one explanation, and someone catches it!

Really!

A hundred zhang away, at the corner of the boulder, came two farmers in old clothes and a young man.

They were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, their cheeks were red from the cold, and they looked at Xia Qingchen with anxiety on their faces at the moment.

"Big ...... My lord, we didn't hide here on purpose. The old farmer said in fear.

The little farmer beside him kept rubbing his palms together, sighing, and his thin body shivered from the cold.

"What are you doing?" Xia Qingchen asked.

The old farmer said, "We are here to pick snow mountain flowers." ”

As he spoke, he also took off the back basket behind him, and from a distance, he saw that it did contain a lot of snow lotus.

Xia Qingchen glanced at it and said, "Let's go." ”

The two farmers were relieved and immediately went down the mountain.

At this time, Fang Cuihong, who heard the voice, led a team to quickly rush over.

"My lord, is there anyone here?" Fang Cuihong said.

Xia Qingchen pointed to the two farmers who were descending the mountain: "Them." ”

Fang Cuihong looked at it and found that it was just a farmer picking lotus flowers, so she let down her guard.

The snow-capped mountains of the Northland have a very unique snow lotus, and many lotus pickers make a living from it, so there is nothing unusual.

"Shoot the arrows and kill them!" however, Xia Qingchen added.

Belch?

Fang Cuihong was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrong, killing two unarmed ordinary farmers?

But as a soldier, Fang Cuihong carried out the orders of her superiors very loyally, set up a strong crossbow very decisively, and ordered: "Kill!"

More than 100 soldiers who came with him immediately set up strong crossbows and sent out military arrows.

Woooo

A large field of arrows and crossbows came down like a black cloud, shooting at the two farmers.

However, the two seemingly unarmed farmers lifted their coats and showed extremely fast body movements, instantly avoiding the attack of arrows and crossbows.

What's even more terrifying is that the little farmer's cultivation has reached the Great Star Rank.

And the old farmer turned out to be a powerhouse in the Xiaoyue realm!

"Damn!" the old farmer escaped from the range of the crossbow arrow, turning his head and scolding at Xia Qingchen.

Seeing this, Fang Cuihong understood that Xia Qingchen was not killing innocents indiscriminately, but saw that the identities of the two were wrong.

"Explode the Arrow Crossbow!" Fang Cuihong said immediately.

She and the soldiers each took out a special red-headed crossbow from their quiver pouches.

This is an explosive arrow crossbow specially developed by the Military Palace, because the refining process is very difficult, the output is very small, and only a small amount is customized from the Spirit Palace every year.

However, the Spirit Palace is Xia Qingchen's, will it be difficult to let the Spirit Palace refine a little more and hand it over to his own Heavenly Regiment to use?

More than 100 people immediately got on the explosive crossbow and shot out in a volley.

Another rain of arrows came, and the old man grabbed the little farmer and fled quickly down the hill.

With their physical skills, they can certainly avoid ordinary arrows and crossbows.

However, as a new type of crossbow specially made by the military palace, the explosive arrow crossbow is not only powerful, but also faster.

Before they could avoid it, a rain of arrows came.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the old man stopped with a cold snort and swept across the sky in front of him with the power of the Moon Realm.

With the strength of his Moon Realm, sweeping away a field of arrows and crossbows is nothing.

However, when the crossbow was forcefully swept away, the red arrow was punished, and it immediately exploded violently.

Bang –

The old man was the first to be blown backwards, and in this way, the violent explosion also detonated all the arrows and crossbows, and there were continuous explosions.

Countless fires and strong air currents were enough to kill a Moon Realm powerhouse.

The old man was startled, and immediately threw himself to the ground, and rolled forward on the spot, avoiding most of the explosion and fire.

However, his face was still accidentally injured by the arrow crossbow, and he had a large burn.

He had the strength to escape from the explosion, but the little farmer was not so lucky, and when a scream abruptly stopped, he was lying in the snow covered in flesh and blood.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes were split, and he looked at Xia Qingchen from afar with hatred: "The old man can't spare you!"

Fang Cuihong's eyes were cold, and he took out the explosive arrow crossbow again.

Seeing the power of this arrow crossbow, the old man immediately turned around and fled, disappearing into the vast snowy night.

"Stop chasing. Xia Qingchen called Fang Cuihong and the others who were about to go down the mountain to chase.

If the Moon Realm powerhouse wants to escape, he can't catch up with Fang Cuihong and the others' cultivation alone, and it is easy to be broken by the old man one by one, which is very risky.

"Search the body. He said.

Fang Cuihong immediately came back, groped around the corpse for a while, and found a token.

"Zhongyun King's second-level secret agent, Wang Kai. Fang Cui's red pupils shrank: "It's from the Zhongyun Realm!, what are they doing here?"

This place belongs to the Cool Realm.

Xia Qingchen looked at the huge mountain not far away, and said lightly: "Of course, it's spying on the military." ”

Standing on the snowy mountain, if there is a nirvana of vision, you can see the garrison on the mine.

"But my lord, how do you confirm that they are farmers?" Fang Cuihong was surprised.

Isn't Xia Qingchen afraid of killing innocent lotus pickers by mistake?

Xia Qingchen said: "First, the first time they see me, they call me an adult, and when an ordinary farmer meets a young man, will they call me that?"

Fang Cuihong nodded slightly, it was indeed suspicious, Fang Cai was Xia Qingchen alone here, how could they not be called an adult.

The only explanation is that they discovered the existence of the Purple Character Heavenly Group in advance, so they are honorific.

"Second, the snow lotus they carried in the basket was all two days ago, let me ask the lotus pickers, don't sell the lotus flowers they got as soon as possible, but put them in the basket and run all over the mountain?"

Snow lotus is a very easy to wither grass and tree, and it is usually sold as soon as it is obtained.

How can you leave it for two or three days and still not sell it?

Fang Cuihong completely understood: "They are a hundred secrets! Presumably they prepared the snow lotus two or three days ago, disguised as a lotus picker, but they didn't expect to meet the eyes of adults." ”

Xia Qingchen was expressionless: "Strengthen vigilance!"

"Yes!"

Xia Qingchen looked for a place again and quietly crossed his knees to remove the impurities in his body.

The next day, it was 10 o'clock in the morning.

Xia Qingchen got up, looked at the mine, and said, "Send someone to inform our army of the incident in the snow mountain last night, so that they can take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" Fang Cuihong said, "Cheng Yun, you go." ”
