Chapter 55: The Northernmost City

After staying up on the train for four days and four nights, Zhao Chun finally arrived in the northernmost city.

The northernmost city is a world of ice and snow through and through, with temperatures reaching a record minus 50 degrees Celsius, and at a glance, it is still white except for white.

Because the temperature is too low, the snow is too thick, and the sky is still snowing, the average snow clearer does not do much at all. Fortunately, the winter in the city is also relatively cold, so the local residents invented a sleigh-like means of transportation, relying on the snow dog, a species unique to the snow, to pull it, but also temporarily got rid of the problem of no means of transportation.

The northernmost city is actually not big, only more than 20 square kilometers, hundreds of thousands of people, but every summer, it is the season of ginseng picking in the deep mountains and old forests dozens of kilometers away, so there are not many ginseng tourists who stay here, and many hotels are full of people.

Zhao Chun naturally didn't have to worry about finding a hotel, because according to what the old man said, he quickly found a hotel called Huilai on Shanshen Road, and his eldest brother sent a message to him and asked him to bring someone to the hotel to meet, and then act together.

"Are you the Zhao Chun that the ninth brother said?" When the old man's eldest brother, Wang Xiaomin, saw Zhao Chun, he couldn't help but be stunned. Because Zhao Chun he has seen it, although it was not him who signed the contract at the beginning, but he has also seen Zhao Chun on other occasions, Zhao Chun was a young and handsome guy at that time, why didn't he see him for two months, and he became a middle-aged obscene uncle with a strange and ugly appearance?

Zhao Chun almost burst into tears, and his teeth itched with hatred for the unreliable system, he didn't say anything, took out the round brand and stuffed it into Wang Xiaomin's hand. He wasn't in any mood at the moment.

Wang Xiaomin took the sign and looked at it, and immediately understood, and said: "The ninth brother told me on the phone, you must be like the ninth brother, you must have changed your appearance, right? Thank you for saving the ninth brother's life, otherwise ......?"

Zhao Chun didn't want to talk to him about this, so he said lightly: "Didn't you say that you found a clue?"

But Wang Xiaomin didn't care about his attitude, and still warmly introduced the rest of the people in the room for him, namely the third elder Lai Fei, the fifth elder Wang Chong, and the scattered cultivators Huang Rui and Zhou Qiancai, who were invited to assist, these people were all around fifty years old, obviously the cultivation time was not short, but because of the general environment, they also failed to break through the Tongqi realm.

Zhao Chun had no choice but to shake hands with them one by one and say hello, after all, he was a well-educated person and couldn't do that kind of rudeness.

Wang Xiaomin nodded with satisfaction and said, "A few days ago, we got a piece of news from the ginseng pickers, saying that a huge vortex appeared about a hundred kilometers away from the northernmost city, and its end was connected to the sky. And the vortex seemed to be the source of the cold, because the extremely cold air currents spread from the center of the vortex in all directions, and the whole world seemed to be frozen. After listening to the rumors of the ginseng pickers, we also went to the scene to take a look, and it was indeed as they said, and we also saw what was suspected to be a mirage in the whirlpool, and there were many dilapidated buildings in it, which were completely different from our modern architectural style......"

Zhao Chun looked at the photos taken by Wang Xiaomin's mobile phone, and indeed as he said, in a primeval forest, there is a pitch-black vortex with a diameter of several kilometers wide, a bit like a typhoon that occurs at sea in summer, but it is black, and the strangest thing is that in the center of the vortex, you can faintly see some dilapidated ancient buildings.

"It's not that we are cowardly, we also wanted to go in and find out, but I have a feeling that with the strength of a few of us, if we rush in, I am afraid that we will be torn to pieces before we reach the center of the vortex. But if we have enough people to provide a steady stream of spiritual power, I will have a way to use this spiritual power to open a portal and let a person go in to find out. It's a pity that the ninth brother had an accident on the road......" Wang Xiaomin's expression was full of loneliness, decades have passed, and in these years, they have been looking for a way out of here, after all, as a cultivator from another world, no one wants to die of old age like mortals in this place where they can't cultivate.

Zhao Chun naturally understood his mood and said, "We may be able to try it tomorrow, if it doesn't work, let's think of another way." In fact, Zhao Chun also had a lot of doubts in his heart, judging from the reaction of Bhatti's group before, if this black vortex was made by them, they would definitely send someone to guard it, and they would come up with all kinds of ways to prevent outsiders from approaching, but from Wang Xiaomin's words, he didn't hear this news, but anyone can get close, this situation is really abnormal, could it be that Bhatti and their whole out is not this whirlpool, but it appeared accidentally? Or is this black vortex a trap that deliberately lures many cultivators to go and then catch them all?

However, these are just his guesses, he has no evidence, and he can't confirm it for the time being, everything will only be known when he goes to the scene tomorrow to see it in person, just in case, he needs to prepare for the worst......

"Okay, you can eat something and rest first, and we'll go back tomorrow to find out. Wang Xiaomin said.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Wang Xiaomin called everyone up, and then took two sleds to the destination.

As if in response to Zhao Chun's speculation, when they arrived at their destination after running for more than three hours, they found that there were many military police around the whirlpool, and they were still three or four kilometers away from the whirlpool before they stopped and were not allowed to get any closer.

This made Wang Xiaomin very depressed, and said: "There were no military police two days ago, why did they have them today, did they only find out in the last two days?"

The old five kings rushed and said jokingly: "Maybe they know that we are coming, so they specially sent military police to stop us." ”

"If they were trying to stop us, they wouldn't have sent the military and police, but would have sent the dead to ambush here. Personally, I think that although this place may be related to the abnormal blizzard weather, it is by no means a base for Bhatti and others to create a blizzard, and this place is probably used to confuse us. Zhao Chun analyzed.

"Confusing us? It's too obvious, isn't it? Anyone with a little bit of a brain can see it at a glance. If they really made it confusing, at least it looked like a little bit, this level is too low, right?" Wang Xiaomin was a little unconvinced.

Zhao Chun sighed: "True and false, false and true, this may be their terrible thing." ”

"Then what should we do?" Wang Chong scratched his head and said, "Are we going to enter the vortex here or continue to find their base?"

"Since it's their base, it's naturally not so easy to find. We don't have much time left. "Zhao Chun felt a very headache for the first time, this is really a very difficult opponent.

"You mean, even though we know that this vortex was set up by them to lure us, we still want to go in? So what's the difference between us and stupid?" Wang Chong almost jumped, feeling that the whole world was not good.

Wang Xiaomin glared at him, and said angrily: "Why don't you have a better way?"

"Wait until the passage is opened, you send me in, and then you continue to look for the base. Zhao Chun made a decision, risks and opportunities coexist in this world, even if this is the temptation trap set by Bhatti and them, there will always be some clues, which is already worth his risk.

"This ...... Let me in, I'm sure you'll be able to lead them to a base. Wang Xiaomin said.

"I've decided, let's get moving!"
