A surprising scene took place, and a smooth mountain road appeared at the end of the valley, leading to the opposite mountain.

Dou Zhanlong's face was delighted, he didn't say a word, his steps were relaxed, and he quickly walked up the mountain road and walked straight into the mountain.

"Strange! How can this mountain be a barren mountain? Finally, Dou Zhanlong successfully walked out of the valley and couldn't help frowning when he saw a low mountain that was bare.

The two mountains are separated by no more than two kilometres, but the scene is very different. This is clearly a barren mountain, overgrown with weeds, how could there be a rare creature like a snow lotus?

Dou Zhanlong sighed deeply, and walked in, his body staggered, the road under his feet was very bad, and he stumbled step by step.

In the mountains, Dou Zhanlong stopped, took a look, took a deep breath, and rummaged through it.

However, on the bare mountain, it was barren, and there was no trace of flowering in sight.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed behind Dou Zhanlong and quickly disappeared into the mountains.

Dou Zhanlong's eyes were shocked, his spirit was highly concentrated, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly felt the breath of the black shadow.

"Who the hell are you?" Dou Zhanlong's footsteps moved sideways, his body turned, he rose into the air, flipped three hundred and sixty degrees, and reached out to grab a weed.

The black shadow's body trembled, shook slightly, and subconsciously raised his arm, broke free from the shackles of Dou Zhanlong, and strode to escape.

"Stop!" Dou Zhanlong didn't dare to relax at all, he always gathered the qi of ancient martial arts, leaned forward, stretched out his arms straight, clenched them into fists, and slammed into the black shadow.

Then, Dou Zhanlong touched the ground with both feet, his body was horizontal, his legs were together, and a pair of big feet kicked towards the black shadow.

With a "poof", the black shadow was attacked, his body was weightless, he stumbled under his feet, and fell heavily to the ground.

Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong reacted quickly, leaned forward, bent his arms, raised his elbows, and pressed straight against his black and hard waist.

The black shadow was pressed under Dou Zhanlong, his face was ugly, he twisted his body, struggled hard, and couldn't move.

Dou Zhanlong parted his legs, clamped the black shadow tightly, pressed the black shadow with his left hand, pulled off the mask with his right hand, opened his eyes wide, looked fixedly, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" Why pretend to be a ghost? ”

The man in black has distinct facial features and is quite handsome, looking about forty or fifty years old, with sharp edges and corners, especially a black mole on the nose.

"You let go of me!" The man in black turned his head, looked sideways slightly, stared at Dou Zhanlong viciously, and said, "Who are you?" Why do you want to break into the barren mountain? ”

"This mountain is called Dahuang Mountain?" Dou Zhanlong frowned, and asked a little strangely, "It seems that this barren mountain was once rich and lush?" ”

"How do you know?" The man in black asked in a puzzled tone, not daring to relax at all, and asked with a tight voice.

"Reaching the barren mountain, isn't it from a rich mountain to a barren mountain!" Dou Zhanlong snorted coldly and said disapprovingly.

"You're a smart man!" The man in black pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "But, who asked you to come?" What are you here for? ”

Dou Zhanlong could clearly feel that the vigilance of the man in black was very heavy, especially the pair of eyes, revealing a murderous aura.

"You seem to mind if someone comes here?" Dou Zhanlong's face was solemn, and his eyes were deep: "I'm curious about how you live here?" ”

"You let me go first!" The man in black raised his eyebrows and said, "This is my territory, I won't run away." ”

Dou Zhanlong slowly let go, got up from the ground, stared at the man in black, looked around, and said, "Since it is your territory, can you tell me the whereabouts of the snow lotus?" ”

"You're here to find Snow Lotus?" The man in black stared at him, looked nervous, glared at Dou Zhanlong, and said vigilantly: "What do you want Snow Lotus to do?" ”

Dou Zhanlong looked at it, the man in black was very concerned about the snow lotus, and was even more curious about what kind of strange treasure the snow lotus was, and said: "A friend of mine is highly poisonous, his life is in danger, and he urgently needs the snow lotus to save his life!" ”

The man in black slapped his hands, flicked off the dust on his body, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Dou Zhanlong deeply, and asked slyly, "Did Dongfang Station let you come?" ”

"Do you know the Eastern Station?" Dou Zhanlong's eyes were surprised, he approached the man in black, and said in a low voice: "That's right." My friend is in his hands now. ”

"Let's go." The man in black's face changed abruptly, his voice was stern, and he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't know any Dongfang Station, and I don't know what Snow Lotus is!" ”

The face of the man in black was gloomy, and there was a wave of anger and unwillingness between his eyebrows, and he turned his head slightly, revealing a strange light in his eyes.

"You're lying!" Dou Zhanlong widened his eyes and said with a solemn face: "No matter what, I have to find Snow Lotus and save my friend!" ”

"Okay, whatever!" The man in black stretched out his arms, shrugged his shoulders, and said with an indifferent expression: "In this case, I will not be accompanied!" ”

"No, you can't go!" Dou Zhanlong quickened his pace, followed behind the man in black inseparably, and said with a rogue face: "This barren mountain is your territory, only you are most familiar with the situation here, and only you can help me find the snow lotus!" ”

The man in black had an ugly face, angry eyes, and his body moved quickly, trying to get rid of Dou Zhanlong.

Dou Zhanlong concentrated his thoughts, always sensing the breath of the man in black, teleported under his feet, quickly followed, and asked tentatively, "What's your name?" ”

"Drift Ice!" The man in black looked at Dou Zhanlong with a smile and a smile, his eyes were deep, he looked at Dou Zhanlong thoughtfully, and said, "Your skills are good, you are a practitioner, right?" ”

"Sort of." Dou Zhanlong said with a humble face: "The small skill of carving insects is not enough to worry about. But you, at first glance, are masters. ”

"Don't slap me on the back!" The man in black frowned, squinted his eyes, looked at Dou Zhanlong, pouted and said, "I just want to live a peaceful life." ”

Dou Zhanlong followed Mu Liubing to a thatched hut, stopped, looked at it, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Do you know, your thatched hut is a bit interesting." ”

Mu Liubing's eyes were puzzled, he looked at Dou Zhanlong with a blank face, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"The structure of your thatched hut is exactly the same as the structure of the house at Dongfang Station in the opposite mountain." Dou Zhanlong said with deep emotion: "You and him must know each other, right?" ”

"Less nonsense, come in." Mu Liubing's eyes dodged slightly, pretending to be calm and pushed open the door, inviting Dou Zhanlong in, and said, "You are young and have extremely deep internal strength, what kind of skill are you cultivating?" ”

Dou Zhanlong's face was low-key, he smiled slightly, and said, "Ancient Martial Qi, have you heard of it?" ”

Mu Liubing's eyes were surprised, he nodded again and again, and said in admiration: "Looking at the way you shot just now, the ancient martial qi has reached its peak, right?" ”

"Why!" Dou Zhanlong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a strange voice: "Any kind of skill is gradually improved in continuous self-cultivation, and there is no eternal peak at all. ”

Mu Liubing looked at Dou Zhanlong, his eyes seemed cold, but he was full of curiosity and affection for Dou Zhanlong, and secretly blamed Dongfang Zhan for being an old ghost in his heart.

Compared with Dongfang Station, Mu Liubing has a more cheerful temperament and a peaceful temper, which makes it easier for people to get close.

"There are really not many down-to-earth young people like you now!" Mu Liubing expressed his appreciation for Dou Zhanlong and said, "What did Dongfang Station tell you before you came? ”

Dou Zhanlong frowned, looked at Mu Liubing with some doubts, pretended to be indifferent, and said, "He wants me to find the snow lotus within a week and go back successfully, otherwise the friend who wants to grasp it will ignore it." “

"This old thing, it's still so stubborn!" Mu Liubing's eyes widened, his hands clenched into fists, and he said with a resentful face: "What he hasn't gotten in his life, he actually wants you to come and find it?" ”

"Senpai, I don't quite understand what you mean." Dou Zhanlong frowned, his face was puzzled, and he asked puzzledly: "Could it be that the Dongfang seniors deliberately used me to achieve their own goals?" ”

Dou Zhanlong wanted to save Zhu Qian'er, listened to the words of Dongfang Station without thinking, couldn't wait to find the snow lotus, and asked, "Can the snow lotus save people's lives?" ”

"Snow lotus is a creature that blooms once in a hundred years, and it is very rare." Mu Liubing's face was solemn, and he said matter-of-factly: "Dongfang Station has been a doctor for many years, and he has never succeeded in finding Snow Lotus. ”

Dou Zhanlong's heart was beating faster, his face became more and more ugly, and he said, "Is it really impossible to find it?" ”

"Not exactly!" Mu Liubing's eyes were deep, he looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and said: "The growth position of the snow lotus is extremely strange, and it will only take a hundred years to bloom a flower, and you can't find it at all. ”

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." Dou Zhanlong's eyes were affirmative, and he swore and said, "Senior, if you are willing to help me, I will be grateful." ”

"Snow lotus flowers generally bloom in the stone crevices in the middle of the mountain, and the flowering period is very short." Mu Liubing said with a stern expression: "If it blooms at night, it will wilt before noon at the second o'clock." ”

Dou Zhanlong knew that things were difficult, thinking about Zhu Qian'er's appearance, he was unwilling to give up, walked to Mu Liubing's side, "poof", knelt on the ground, and said with a sincere face: "Please also ask the seniors to help." ”

"Huh"! Mu Liubing's eyes were shocked, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "I have been in Dahuang Mountain for so many years, and I have never seen a snow lotus, so you better give up." ”

"I will not give up, and I will never give up." Dou Zhanlong's face was anxious, and he said in an eager voice.

"If I'm correct, this year is the end of the Snow Lotus." After speaking, Mu Liubing sighed, his face was a little tired, turned around and walked to the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, stood up, walked out of the door, and looked at the endless barren mountains, his eyes were misty, and he was a little overwhelmed.

When night fell, Dou Zhanlong bent his legs, squatted outside the door, curled up, looked up at the starry sky quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, I will always wait for your news." ”

Dou Zhanlong decided that Mu Liubing knew the whereabouts of the snow lotus, and he definitely couldn't give up lightly, so he simply squatted at the door.

At night, the mountain peaks blew, and the slightest coolness penetrated into the cracks of Dou Zhanlong's bones, and he couldn't help but shiver, and curled up even tighter.

In his sleep, Dou Zhanlong vaguely heard the sound of "click" in the room, yawned, opened his eyes, and looked inside through the crack in the door.

Mu Liubing bent down and sat on a wooden chair, with a wooden stake in front of him, raised his arm, kept waving the knife in his hand, and landed heavily on the wooden stake.

Mu Liubing's eyes were wide, his expression was solemn, and he looked at the stake intently, and his hand raised and fell, leaving long strips on the stake.

Dou Zhanlong's face was shocked, his eyes widened, and when he looked closely, he found that there were no traces on the stake, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
