Icewind Valley, located a hundred miles north of Crescent Lake City, is distributed along the Tianshan Mountain Range and connects the barbarians of the Far North to the north. However www.biquge.info but because the side facing the barbarians is an iceberg cliff covered with snow all year round, **** cannot be crossed at all, so the Turks did not set up any army here to garrison here.

The Ice Wind Valley formed between the mountains and mountains, the valley is full of trees, strange rocks, inaccessible to people, and there are many birds and beasts. There are even rumors that there are strange people in Icewind Dale, and most people will not go to this remote northland. It is only on important festivals that the Turks of Crescent Lake come here in droves to hunt, but usually do not stray too far from the road and do not go deep into the dense forests of the valley to avoid encountering the legendary strangers.

As a result, the road to Icewind Dale is rarely used and is hidden under rocks or snow for many years, making it difficult for outsiders to notice.

When the wind and snow stopped, it was already early the next morning, and Li Tianqi and the eldest grandson Bozhong simply covered their faces with breakfast and set off again.

As far as the eye can see, only a few black rocks barely protrude into the snow, and hardy spruce and birch trees stand on both sides of the road ahead.

Occasionally, there will be a whirring wind that comes into the ears out of nowhere between some trees, because the wind and snow have stopped, although the vision is clear, but it is not easy to hide their whereabouts, they have learned that Gong Ling and his party are in front, so the two of them are also very careful, not only paying attention to the front but also paying attention to the side.

But nothing unexpected happened, and it was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly, and they came to Icewind Dale.

Icewind Dale was in a mist at the moment, and some of the hares suddenly saw someone coming, and hurriedly disappeared into the mist.

Except for the neat footprints left behind by their mounts, Li Tianqi and Changsun Bozhong were unable to find any traces left by other people or horses.

Last night's wind and snow had obscured all traces.

"Who would have thought that someone would live in this icy wilderness if it weren't for someone to guide them? If you want to find one of the grass houses, it is difficult to find it in the vast forest. The eldest grandson said, pointing with his hand, "But there is a tall spruce tree on it, I can go up and see where the grass is." ”

Li Tianqi saw the spruce on the top of the valley, if you can really go up, you can indeed overlook the situation below, but it is not easy to go up, there are many strange stones, and the snow is very thick, even the horses are difficult to get on, since the eldest grandson Bozhong said so, he must want to use light power to move up, so he hugged his fists and said: "This place is dangerous, then there is Brother Lao Bozhong." Be careful. ”

"Don't worry!" As soon as the words fell, the eldest grandson Bozhong jumped up from the horse's back, quickly swept up the treetops on the side, jumped from one plant to another, and after a while he was halfway up the mountain.

Li Tianqi put his hands on the pergola, and saw the eldest grandson Bozhong lightly leap onto the towering spruce tree. What made him feel strange was that the eldest grandson Bozhong jumped down from the spruce tree in a short time and rushed towards him.

The eldest grandson Bozhong said as he ran: "There is a puff of black smoke on the other side of the valley! ”

Li Tianqi tugged on the reins and said, "Could it be that Gong Ling and the others took the lead?" ”

The eldest grandson, Bozhong, got on his horse and rode his horse to the valley, "It's far away, let's go over and have a look." ”

Li Tianqi followed him and asked, "Have you noticed anyone over there?" ”

The eldest grandson Bozhong said: "I only saw the reckless jungle above, but the black smoke immediately attracted my attention, it must be the location of the grass house, but there is no one in sight." That's why I came back in a hurry. ”

"Hmm." Li Tianqi nodded, "Then let's hurry over, if they have already taken people away, then we will be in vain." Drive! He flicked his whip in his hand, and his mount pressed forward.

Just as the two of them set off into the valley, the sky became dark again, and the goose feathers and snow began to fall again.

At this time, the snow in Icewind Dale was a foot deep, and although the two of them were already running wildly, their speed was not fast, and the two were not familiar with the terrain in the valley, so they often found no way out and had to go back to find another way.

The two of them stumbled until it was close to noon, and they came to the place where the fire was burning and the black smoke was emitting.

At this moment, the fire has been extinguished, and it can only be vaguely discerned from the ruins, this is a small grass house.

"We're late." The eldest grandson jumped off his horse.

"It's snowing again, and it seems to have covered up all the footprints." Li Tianqi also followed him down from his horse.

The two horses snorted and snorted and slowly walked to the edge of the forest.

The two searched through the ruins for a while, but found nothing suspicious.

Li Tianqi said: "There is nothing here, if Zi Jimo lives in seclusion here, he must have been taken away." ”

The eldest grandson Bozhong said: "It's him again! It's disgusting! Suddenly he thought of something, took out the origami in his bosom again, and said, "I almost forgot about it." This grass house burned for about three hours, presumably those people also discovered the sub-machine ink early in the morning, and then burned here, maybe there is still a smell. ”

Li Tianqi looked at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky and said, "Try it, I hope this snow won't wipe all the traces away." ”

The eldest grandson Bozhong once again transformed the paper folding hound according to the gourd painting scoop, who knew that after the hound landed, it barked indiscriminately, and its whole body was on fire and burned, and after a while, it merged with the ruins.

The eldest grandson Bozhong was dumbfounded, "This ...... What's going on? ”

Li Tianqi looked strange, thought for a while, and then said: "There should be some powerful forbidden spell secretly cast here, so your origami hound will be burned once the spell is cast." The fact that someone came so cautiously was very much in line with Gong Ling's style. ”

The eldest grandson Bozhong said: "Then what can I do about this? ”

Li Tianqi said: "Brother Bozhong, don't you know spells? There's some straw paper on that horse's back, and you ...... again."

The eldest grandson Bozhong shook his head and said: "I only know a little bit about it, and this origami hound was secretly given to me by the emperor, only this one, and even the use of spells was secretly given by the emperor." You asked me to fold one again with straw paper, which is really mysterious. ”

"Huh?" Li Tianqi asked, "It turned out to be a gift from the emperor." "I thought to myself, it was really surprising that the Son of Heaven today also understood the mysteries of magic.

The eldest grandson Bozhong squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of origami hounds that had turned into ashes, shook his head and said, "It's actually burned like this." Ay...... I really didn't expect it. There was extreme regret in his tone.

"There's someone over there!" Li Tianqi suddenly caught a glimpse of the edge of the forest where the two horses were, and just as one of them hurriedly came out of the snowdrift on the side and disappeared into the woods.

Before the words fell, Li Tianqi had already hurriedly chased over there, although he was the first to find out, but the speed of the eldest grandson Bozhong was faster than him, and he chased into the woods in an instant.

However, on a cloudy day with heavy snowfall, the forest was especially dark, and although the eldest grandson Bozhong chased into the woods at a very fast speed, he still failed to catch up with the man and lost the trace of the other party.

"Come out, friend. I've found you. The eldest grandson Bozhong said loudly, and his voice came out of the way. However, the other party did not eat him at all.

At this time, Li Tianqi came to the side of the eldest grandson, and he said in a low voice: "This person is not tall, thinly dressed, although he looks like an ordinary person, but his movements don't look like it. ”

"I lost it, he must still be hiding nearby, and it is impossible to run away." The eldest grandson looked at it vigilantly.

"He's going to leave a footprint. I'll go to the left, you go to the right. Let's search forward. If you find something, you will notify the other party loudly. Li Tianqi said.

"Okay." The eldest grandson nodded and walked to the right.

The mountain wind was whistling, the heavy snow didn't seem to stop, Li Tianqi exhaled white steam, his eyes scanning anything in a large area, but the other party seemed to be very calm, and he didn't rush out of the hiding place because of the unfolding of his search.

More than a foot deep of snow was trampled and creaked by Li Tianqi, and as he walked, he suddenly saw a huge footprint under a pine tree, but it was said to be a footprint, but it was not like it, because the footprint was actually three feet and a foot wide. Even if the giant's footprints were left behind, they could not have taken such shapes, and besides, the man he found was not tall, but he was far away at the time, and he did not pay attention to his feet.

At this time, Changsun Bozhong also followed the huge footprints from there to Li Tianqi's side, "I found strange footprints, which actually extended from that side to this side." ”

Li Tianqi said: "Well, although it is strange, we have to find this person quickly before the heavy snow covers these footprints." ”

As they spoke, they both felt some strange noise from the pine trees at the same time, and when it was too late, a figure fell from the tree, shook off its steps, and continued to run into the depths of the forest.

"Where to go!" The eldest grandson Bozhong jumped in a flash and stopped in front of the man.

The man didn't speak, but swung his fist at the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson Bozhong had already been on guard, dodged sideways, and stretched out his right hand to rush the opponent's shoulder well!

There was a "bang", the other party's body shook slightly, and it didn't stop, but the fingers of the eldest grandson Bozhong felt that the place they touched was as hard as a golden stone, and the power of the backlash made his fingers suddenly sore.

Because he didn't know the reality of the other party, he was shocked and Changsun Bozhong dodged slightly, "This person's martial arts are strange, and his whole body is extremely hard, pay attention!" ”

"Your Excellency?" Li Tianqi shouted and flew over.

When the man heard the sound behind him, he didn't answer, and reflexively hit a double dragon play bead, and his fist was extremely fierce, hitting Li Tianqi's chest.

Li Tianqi couldn't help but say when he saw the other party, he felt angry in his heart when he was so ruthless, he quickly avoided it, and happened to see a thick dead branch on his side slanted into the snow, so he picked it up, picked up the dead branch and smashed it into the other party's neck, trying to stun it.

"Crackle!" The dead branch shattered and exploded, and the man was all right, except that the strange hood he was wearing was torn and fell to the ground, revealing a grim face inside, and there was no expression on his face as if he didn't know the pain.

After being attacked, he suddenly kicked at Li Tianqi, and when he saw the giant hammer-like foot, Li Tianqi stepped back a few feet to dodge.

At this time, he and the eldest grandson Bozhong realized that the other party's feet seemed to be wearing a pair of strange shoes. It was these strange shoes that left large and strange footprints on the snow.

It's really because of wearing these strange shoes that the weird man in front of him is not deep in the snow.
