In the snowy mountains, there was little snow at the beginning of the mountain, but on the other hand, there were more people. Close to the foot of the hill there are plenty of tents.

The tents were made of tanned hides, and they were not too large. Cooking utensils were set up in front of the tents, and the townspeople, wrapped in cotton clothes and animal skins, huddled in a ball and pulled charcoal fires in front of the cooking utensils. The thick smell of medicine overshadowed the coldness of the ice and snow, and between breaths, it seemed as if even the air had become bitter.

Stone Lin led them all the way, and the men only looked up at them, and then numbly withdrew their gaze, staring silently at the flames in the firepit.

Ling Gu saw that there were always some blood-stained strips of cloth and clothes next to the tent, and some were even corpses, with uncovered hands and feet exposed, and the skin was actually black. And the hands and feet of the corpse were shriveled and almost nothing more than skin and bones.

Several people have been silent all the time, and several people in Shilin have even more red eyes and silently shed tears.

Soon, they came to the nearest city. The situation here is even more dire than what you can see at the foot of the mountain.

The streets were littered with shriveled and blackened corpses, and the living were huddled together in twos and threes. Almost all of them were infected - they had black spots on their bodies, and where they were, they all dented as if they had been dug out of flesh. They leaned on each other, but there was no verbal or physical communication, as if they were just waiting for death.

Despair has taken over the entire Luoshui Snow Country.

Ling Gu hugged the egg in his arms a little tighter, and pulled the thin jacket that wrapped the egg to cover the egg, as if he didn't want the egg to perceive the outside.

"In the entire Luoshui Snow Country, hasn't there been a cure?" Ling Gu asked the stone forest in front of him.

Shi Lin shook his head, his voice choked: "There is no way, only a few people were sick at the beginning. The priest gave them medicine and seemed to be well, but only a few days after they returned home, the plague broke out. But for some reason, after almost all the citizens of the four cities were infected, the rest of the people couldn't be infected no matter how much they touched it. ”

Shi Lin chuckled at the end, but he didn't rejoice in the laughter, but the people who listened to it felt very uncomfortable.

Ling Gu couldn't help frowning when he heard this--stop the infection? Judging from Ling Gu's thinking in the present world, is this because the rest of the people have immunity, or has the conditions for transmission been cut off? But in the current situation, neither of these two scenarios seems to be quite compatible, so there is only one possibility left, and this plague is probably more than just a plague.

"There's an enchantment ahead." Shi Lin led them into an alley.

At the end of the alley, the walls and houses on both sides were cut in the middle, and the white barrier stood silently there, like a huge sheep's fat stone.

Stopping in front of the barrier, I realized how huge it was.

Ling Gu wanted to reach out to touch it, Bai Yu reached out and grabbed Ling Gu's hand, then stretched out his other hand, covered it with a thin layer of frost on his palm, and pasted the enchantment.

Bai Yu withdrew his hand after touching it, but his face became ugly.

"Can't be broken?" Ling Gu asked.

Bai Yu nodded: "This enchantment is very strong, and it is ......"

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ling Gu's eyes: "It's your enchantment." ”

"What!" Ling Gu was surprised, pointed to the enchantment and said, "You mean, it was I who created this enchantment...... Created zào before? ”

Bai Yu nodded.

Ling Gu frowned, and then patted Bai Yu's arm: "Wait for me." ”

After Ling Gu finished speaking, he was already concentrating, this was the first time he had summoned the nameless book on his own. It's jerky, but it's not strenuous. The child-like nameless book immediately appeared in Ling Gu's mind.

"Which atlas is this enchantment from?" Ling Gu asked.

"Master, please put your hands on it." The nameless book says.

Ling Gu put his hand on the enchantment according to his words, and this time Bai Yu did not stop him. Although the barrier looks tangible, it feels like touching an invisible air flow rather than touching something real.

Soon, the nameless book had an answer: "It's in the atlas for the master, it's a defensive circle." It's just that it's changed, and the way of looking at it is probably done by the master's former students. ”

"My student?" Ling Gu was shocked and couldn't help screaming.

Mu Ying on the side listened to it and naturally took over the conversation: "Sure enough, it must be Qi Ming's damn guy!" ”

As soon as Mu Ying's words came out, the most shocking thing was Shi Lin, who was almost completely stunned.

Ling Gu let the nameless book return to the realm, and also looked at Mu Ying in surprise and surprise: "You mean, the Qi Ming that Shi Luoxue said is my former student?" ”

"Why?" Mu Ying restrained her feelings slightly, and pouted: "We were all students of the domain master at the beginning, you especially like to pick up things and come back, and you always like to teach this and that, there are many disciples and grandchildren." ”

Ling Gu was speechless for a while, and looked at Bai Yu with a slightly complicated mood: "Are you ......?"

Bai Yu nodded.

Ling Gu: "......"

It turns out that he and Bai Yu are still teachers and students.

But it's not a good time to worry about that. Ling Gu shook his head, pulling back his thoughts that were about to run wild, and focused his attention on the enchantment in front of him.

"Xiao Ming said that this was done by my students, which means that even if it is changed in my magic circle, it is still someone else's after all. Besides, at my current level, I don't know how to break it. Ling Gu was a little discouraged.

When Shi Lin heard this, he was more anxious than Ling Gu: "Madam Commander, since Qi Ming is your student, how can you not break the enchantment he made?" Or do you still hold a grudge against my king, and you don't want to help at all—"

"Bang!"

Before Shi Lin finished speaking, Qin Qian had already turned into a red shadow, lifted Shi Lin's shirt and threw him towards the enchantment. The stone forest seemed to hit a wall, and his body slammed to the ground again. Qin Qian had already arrived in front of him, Qin Qian bent down and lifted Shi Lin by the neck, still maintaining his usual gentle smile on his face.

"If you don't know how to speak, I can teach you. But you dare to be rude to Madame again......" Qin Qian leaned closer, his smiling eyes full of coldness: "I will pull out your tongue alive." ”

Shi Lin's face was full of shame and indignation, but it was more remorse - Qi Ming, it turned out that Qi Ming had done something to the city! And he actually thought that Qi Ming and Qi Xuanheng could bring a brighter future to Luoshui Snow Country, and secretly colluded with those two......

Qin Qian saw that Shi Lin had finally learned to understand current affairs, so he let go of Shi Lin.

Ling Gu heard Qin Qian's threat to Shi Lin, but he didn't dissuade Qin Qian - he also thought that it would be good for everyone to let Shi Lin's head calm down.

"So what are we going to do now?" Mu Ying asked without motivation. She was reluctant to rescue Luoshui Snow Country, but at this time, she couldn't wait for Ling Gu to wave her hand with Bai Yu and go home.

"Hmm......" Ling Gu hugged the egg, looked up at the huge barrier in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Bai Yu asked a few other people next to Shi Lin: "Is this the case with the other two cities?" ”

One of them replied, "We don't know, we are mainly responsible for the defense of the main city, and on the day the barrier appeared, we and the prince of Shilin had planned to come to Bermuda City to ask the priests of the temple for help. As soon as the barrier came out, we were so anxious that we rushed straight to Bermuda. ”

Bai Yu said: "Then let's go to the other two cities first." ”

Those people immediately led the way: "There are official roads connecting the cities, so you don't have to walk too long." ”

Bai Yu nodded, stretched out his finger and touched Ling Gu's face. Ling Gu came back to his senses and looked at him with raised eyebrows - what's wrong?

"Let's go to the other two cities to see how they're going." Bai Yu said: "Anyway, I can't think of anything when I stand up." ”

"yes, let's go." Ling Gu nodded, and followed a few people to another city.

In fact, these cities are not too far away, although Luoshui Snow Country is said to be a country, but in fact it is also a huge joint city. What's more, less than a quarter of the original city is still left.

Near noon, the few people finally finished walking through the three cities. The situation in the city is almost the same, compared to the people who boil medicine in the wild, the people in the city have basically given up even saving themselves, and the sky over this city has been shrouded in dead air.

"Let's eat something first." Bai Yu saw that Ling Gu's feelings had been affected, so he proposed to rest.

So they found an empty inn nearby and took dry food to eat. Bai Yu relied on his own field, so meticulous that he even brought a chopstick rest.

Ling Gu didn't have much appetite, so he stopped chopsticks after using some of his favorite snacks on weekdays.

"Eat more." Bai Yu took the thin jacket swaddling with the egg and handed Ling Gu a stack of Mu Ying's cut fruits.

Although Ling Gu didn't need to eat whole grains, it was good for him to eat more spirit planting spirit fruits, so Bai Yu asked him to eat some every day.

Ling Gu didn't refuse, biting dryly, his mind obviously not on eating.

"How long has this barrier lasted?" Ling Gu finished eating the fruit and asked a few people in the stone forest on the side.

Shi Lin had already stabilized his feelings at this time, and although his attitude towards Ling Gu was not respectful, the prickly tone had disappeared.

"It's been half a month since it first appeared. The period was stronger or weaker, but it never completely disappeared. But it turned out like this at dawn yesterday. ”

Ling Gu nodded when he heard this, supported his head with his hands, looked at the enchantment in the distance, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the tabletop.

"If it's a large circle, it can be reused depending on the material of engraving. But since it hasn't disappeared, it means it's always on. This magic circle is not a teleportation magic circle, and the enchantment that comes out has the effect of imprisonment and defense, so the spiritual power required must be very huge. Plus the scope of this barrier is so wide, and it lasts so long. ”

After Ling Gu finished analyzing, he was startled: "Where did the spiritual power come from to supply it?" ”
