Chapter Twenty-Nine: Advance to the Northern Frontier

The Northern Ice Domain, located at the northernmost tip of the continent, is so cold that even water-based magicians are reluctant to stay longer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As soon as they stepped into the northern ice region, a gossamer-like cold air penetrated into their bodies along the soles of everyone's feet, and even Ling Xiao, who had always prided himself on being in good health, couldn't help but shiver.

"Brother Ling Xiao, your body is not good, you see that the two girls and the old man around you don't feel the slightest cold. You, the old man, were the first to lose. A rough laugh echoed in an inconspicuous corner of the ice field, where a group of men were slowly moving along the snowy field with ten carts of grain.

This was Ling Xiao's team, and now they had been advancing on the ice field for three days and three nights.

Tie Mo, who was laughing with white eyes, was sullenly angry. Mu Wan'er won't say anything, the attributes of the innate extreme ice will only be like a fish in water on the ice field. There is also Yan Yue, who is the ultimate fire of a great magician's cultivation, and he can deal with such a level of cold. But what Ling Xiao didn't expect was that in addition to Mu Wan'er and Yan Yue, the old man and Tie Mo who had been following him were not afraid of the cold, one of them was fighting the cold with their deep strength, and the other was wearing thick cotton clothes to resist the cold, only he Ling Xiao had nothing, and he was so pitiful that he could only rub his hands to keep warm.

"Brother Mo, when will we get to the place, it's been three days and three nights, and there is nothing else to eat except for some dry food." After taking a bite of the dry food in her mouth, Mu Wan'er shouted at Tie Mo with an unhappy face.

Listening to Mu Wan'er's words, Tie Mo's face also showed embarrassment, "Miss, we are now in Northern Xinjiang, there are no people for hundreds of miles, where can I get food." Once, our brother was unlucky enough to encounter a snowstorm, and he lost all his dry food, and finally he was dying of starvation in the tribe. So, it's nice to have dry food to eat. As he spoke, Tie Mo also took out a piece of dry food from his arms, looked at it affectionately, and then took a bite.

"Brother Mo, since there is no grass in this ice field, how can there be a tribe? Aren't they afraid of the cold? Rubbing his cold hands, Ling Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and asked towards Tie Mo.

"Little Brother Ling Xiao doesn't know anything, it is said that I don't know how many years ago, this ice field was not the current snow and ice, although the temperature is slightly lower than other places on the mainland, but there are still forests and people. It was only one day that a sudden change occurred in this snowy area, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and it became an environment that was not suitable for living creatures. Since then, animals have fled and vegetation has died, leaving only a few people who are reluctant to leave their homes. Gradually, Northern Xinjiang became what it is now. ”

"And how do those who are left behind live? Also, what happened so many years ago? ”

Alas, he sighed softly, Tie Mo's eyes were full of helplessness, and said: "Although this northern frontier has become an ice field, there are still many mutated animals, and the mineral resources here are abundant. Those who remained were usually living by hunting, and then exchanged some minerals for food with people outside. It's just that in a normal year, they can barely survive on this, but if it is a year when the snow and ice are raging, the carts and horses outside can't get in, then they can only go hungry. As for the accident many years ago, no one knows what it was, only that at that time, there was an earthquake in the depths of northern Xinjiang, and then a wave of fluctuations came out from the depths, and since then the temperature in northern Xinjiang has been low and low until it has reached this point today. ”

Tie Mo looked at the endless glacier in front of him with a complicated expression, and muttered: "When I was young, I wandered on the continent and met a very good brother, but only later did I know that he was actually the heir of the Yanshui tribe in Northern Xinjiang. That day he received a letter from the tribe, saying that the old patriarch was seriously ill and asked him to hurry back. I didn't understand that he had given up his good future in the country of Ai without saying a word, until I went to their tribe and saw the hardships of their lives, and I realized how heavy the burden was on my good brother. It was at that time that I decided to escort a large amount of grain to their tribe every year, which can be regarded as doing my little bit for my brother. ”

Listening to Tie Mo's words, Ling Xiao had a kind of respect for him, and at the same time, he also had a trace of admiration for the patriarch of the Yanshui tribe who had never met, in this world, people who could bravely give up their future and shoulder their responsibilities were all real heroes.

"Hahaha, Brother Ling Xiao, I felt it for a while, after saying so much, don't be surprised." Sensing that he seemed to have affected everyone's mood, Tie Mo hurriedly said to Ling Xiao.

"Where will it be, Brother Mo is a person who values love and righteousness, and Ling Xiao is really fortunate to know you." A heartfelt admiration came out of Ling Xiao's mouth. At this time, only Mu Wan'er was left on the side, as if she was still fighting for her stomach that was eating dry food.

Seeing Mu Wan'er's aggrieved little mouth, Tie Mo beside Ling Xiao smiled knowingly, he looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, let's set up camp here today, and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue on our way." Then, he glanced at Ling Xiao lightly, and the two of them quietly disappeared taking advantage of the crowd and the night.

The night in the north of Xinjiang is gentle and bright, and the starlight in the sky is shining, casting an afterglow on this lonely and cold ice field.

At this moment, a wisp of cooking smoke rose above the ice field illuminated by the moon's shadow, bringing a kind of human atmosphere to this lonely and cold wasteland.

"Wow, it smells so good, what are you doing?" Seeing a glimmer of fire burning in the night, Mu Wan'er, who was resting in the tent, hurriedly ran out. I saw that in an open space outside the tent, Ling Xiao and Tie Mo were surrounding the outside of the fire, and above the fire, there was a rabbit baking.

Seeing Mu Wan'er staring at the fragrant rabbit meat and drooling, Ling Xiao scolded with a smile: "You little gluttonous cat, it's not all for you, Brother Mo took the risk to beat you a rabbit from the ice field, don't you thank you Brother Mo soon." ”

"Brother Mo, thank you, the rabbit you made is so fragrant, I can't help but drool." After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Mu Wan'er looked like she was tired of dying, and she was coquettish to Tie Mo. In that way, Ling Xiao was stunned, don't look at this girl's usual quirky appearance, but if she is really coquettish and cute, she is also a master who is fascinated by death.

"Wait, you go and call your sister Yan Yue over, she must be very uncomfortable eating dry food every day." Before Mu Wan'er could start eating, Ling Xiao remembered that there was another person who was not here at the moment.

Hearing that Ling Xiao asked her to call Yan Yue, Mu Wan'er's originally happy smile pursed her reluctant little mouth, and she looked at Ling Xiao with big eyes, trying to get Ling Xiao to take back what she had just said.

"Sister, Yan Yue, she is a girl's family with us...

"Stop!" As if she understood what Ling Xiao would say next, Mu Wan'er hurriedly made a stop gesture to interrupt Ling Xiao, and a helpless expression appeared on her face. "Dear brother, I know what you have to say, I'll just call her, don't tell me those big truths again, I don't want to listen to it." After speaking, Mu Wan'er ran towards the tent where Yan Yue was, leaving Ling Xiao to shake his head helplessly. It seems that there is nothing to be done about this mischievous sister of himself.

After a while, Yan Yue followed Mu Wan'er to the fire. At this time, Yan Yue had already changed into the plain white dress that Ling Xiao was wearing when she accidentally saw her that morning, and her pink skin looked extraordinarily white under the moonlight.

"Ahem!" Seeing her brother staring at Yan Yue beside her with the appearance of a pig brother, Mu Wan'er coughed a few times dissatisfiedly, probably to tell Ling Xiao to pay attention to his image, there are still people here.

Ling Xiao, who came back to his senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then beckoned Yan Yue to sit down and taste the rabbits he and Tie Mo had hunted together.

Seeing Ling Xiao's stunned appearance, Yan Yue also burst out laughing. She moved slightly, and gently walked to Ling Xiao's side and sat down.

"Are you okay, it's been more than half a month, are you okay?" A gentle and caring voice sounded in Ling Xiao's ears. Ling Xiao turned his head slightly, and what he saw was Yan Yue's big bright eyes with care and worry.

"Don't worry, since I entered the ice field, I feel that the fire power in my body is very gentle, I think, it should be able to last for a while, don't worry about me."

"Brother Ling Xiao, what's wrong with your body?" Hearing the conversation between Ling Xiao and Yan Yue, Tie Mo asked Ling Xiao suspiciously.

"It's all careless, out of the way." Seeing Tie Mo asking about his body, Ling Xiao told him about himself. Of course, the two things that he saw Yan Yue's body and his dark attribute were naturally concealed by him.

"The Arctic Ice Palace? Although I have been walking in the ice of the northern frontier all year round, I have never heard of such a place. But Brother Ling Xiao, you don't have to worry, this northern ice field is so vast, it's normal to have places I don't know, and when I get to the Yanshui tribe tomorrow, I'm asking you about my friend, he is the original inhabitant of the depths of this ice field, and he must know much more than me. After listening to Ling Xiao's narration, Tie Mo didn't know that there was such a place as the Arctic Ice Palace, so he could only comfort Ling Xiao, and he also hoped that his young brother could get rid of the hidden dangers of his body as soon as possible.

I didn't get any news of the Arctic Ice Palace from Tie Mo, although I was a little disappointed, but it was also expected by Ling Xiao. He looked at the people who were a little dull, and then smiled and beckoned everyone to taste the snow rabbits he had hunted. The sound of joy resounded again in the snowy night.

The night was as cold as water, and everyone who had tasted the delicious roast rabbit was quiet. Yan Yue gently rested her head on Ling Xiao's shoulder. At this moment, although Mu Wan'er no longer chattered as before, a different feeling came out of her heart, and she knew that it was a sour taste.

Just as Ling Xiao and his group were back to rest in the tent, in the snow a kilometer away from them, several pure white blue wolves were sniffing back and forth in the snow, looking at their appearance, as if they were looking for something...
