Volume 1 Sword Shadow Chapter 54 The Meaning of Ice

Bing Yan walked alone in the vast snowy mountains, and there was no longer a mark on the road map in front of him. Xue Qing said that the Netherworld Flower is in the hinterland of the Snow Mountain. Ice Flame carefully checked the map, confirmed the location of the hinterland, and kept walking in that direction.

In this icy and snowy place, there is no way to discern the direction at all, you can only rely on your own feelings. He was glad that he came out secretly alone and didn't say goodbye to Xue Qing, otherwise the girl would definitely follow.

Xue Qing knows more about Nether Flowers, and it is actually helpful to take her with her. It's just that the environment here is harsh, and he can't let her risk it for herself anymore.

"Ice Flame...... Ice Flame ......" A familiar voice was faintly heard in the distance.

Bingyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, when did this girl become so important, and at such a time, she would actually think of her voice.

"Ice Flame...... Ice Flame ......"

"Huh?" Ice Flame is sure, it's not an illusion. He turned his head and saw a red figure floating over.

"Brother Ice Flame...... I...... Finally...... Found you......" Xue Qing gasped. In this kind of place, using light skills for a long time is very physically exhausting to her, and she also carries two big burdens and a book on her back.

"What are you going to do!" Ice Flame grimaced.

"I ...... With you...... Go find ...... Nether Flower ......" Xue Qing slowly followed her breath.

"Go back, don't you want to die!" Ice Flame said angrily.

Xue Qing changed into a pitiful look, and looked at him with watery eyes: "I'm like this...... Go back alone...... Are you reassured? ”

Uh, Ice Flame is choked. It was almost dark on this day, and it was even more dangerous to let her go back alone at this time, so he had to say coldly: "Be careful yourself." ”

Then, he took the burden from her hand and walked forward, but his pace slowed down. Xue Qing smiled and followed.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Ice Flame began to look for a place to live in a cave, but he couldn't find it after walking for a long time.

At this time, Xue Qing stepped forward, pulled his sleeve, and said cautiously: "Brother Bingyan, let's find a boulder that can block the wind, I brought a felt canopy." ”

Bingyan looked at her and didn't speak, no wonder she was carrying so many things, she really needed them. It's much easier to find than a cave. Soon, Ice Flame found a relatively flat stone in the col, which was a cut above the ground, and the hillside on the back was just blocking the howling cold wind.

Still, the wind in the mountains was strong. Xue Qing took out the felt canopy and tools from the book, and the two of them struggled to prop up the felt canopy and fix it. The felt canopy is triangular, short and small inside, and it is pitch black, only enough for two people to huddle together, but it blocks the strong wind outside, and it is very warm.

While there was still a glimmer of light, the two of them got out of the felt canopy and nibbled on dry food. Then the two returned to the felt tent, and each slept wrapped in a cloak, and did not speak for the night.

The next day, Xue Qing's spirit was a little sluggish, and Bing Yan didn't care, just quietly slowed down. Speaking from the heart, Xue Qing followed him out regardless of his safety, and he was very moved. But he just deliberately colded her, telling her not to be so willful in the future and not to blindly pay for him.

The two walked one after the other, about two feet apart.

At noon, Bingyan stopped to eat dry food, and Xue Qing also stopped.

When Bingyan got up again, Xue Qing followed suit, but felt dizzy. She gritted her teeth and held on, but still followed.

Ice Flame walked in front, sneaking a glance at her from time to time, paying attention to her situation. At first, he didn't feel anything, but slowly, he realized that the situation was wrong, and the distance between the two was getting bigger and bigger.

He slowed down his steps a little more, and watched the distance between the two people slowly close, reassured. Once the distance was back to two feet, he maintained that speed.

However, it didn't take long for the distance between the two to widen again. Now Bingyan paid attention to it, and he also knew her temperament, she liked to stick to him, and she would not deliberately distance herself.

He turned and waited for her, but instead of seeing her rush as usual, he walked more and more slowly.

Bingyan walked over quickly, saw her pale face, and hurriedly supported her: "Xueqing, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay...... I am...... A little tired......"

"Okay, then let's not go, let's find a place to rest. You are waiting for me here. ”

"Don't ......" Xue Qing grabbed him, "You go, where am I going...... I'm going to find you...... Brother Iceflame...... You don't want to leave ...... again."

"Good!" Bingyan took her book on her back and took her hand, "Let's go together." ”

This time they were lucky, and soon they saw a cave in the heights. Bingyan handed the burden to Xue Qing, picked her up, and flew up.

The cave is not big, but there are traces of human habitation. But looking at it like that, this man hadn't been here in years. Inside the cave there was a raised stone, which was supposed to be a bed, and it was covered with felt cloth. Ice Flame reached out and touched it, and the corners of the felt cloth began to scatter. There were still a few half-lit, extinguished candles and a few scattered firewood.

Bingyan picked up a stone pot and said to Xue Qing: "You take a rest first, I'll go get some snow water and cook dry food for you." ”

"Hmm." Seeing that he had unloaded everything, Xue Qing was not worried that he would run away alone.

Feeling a little cold, Xue Qing tightened her cloak, her eyelids began to fight, and Xue Qing slowly closed her eyes.

When Ice Flame returned, he saw her huddled in the corner with her eyes closed, her face pale.

"Xueqing, what's wrong with you?" He hurried over.

"I ...... It's so cold......" Xue Qing's voice trembled a little.

Ice Flame took out the felt canopy and wrapped it around her, and blocked the entrance to the cave with a felt cloth on the stone bed, making the cave even warmer.

"It's better, you can hold on and eat something hot later."

Xue Qing nodded weakly.

Cooked dry food is not delicious, but fortunately it is also hot. After a few bites, Xue Qing felt a little warmer. It wasn't long before she felt colder and shivered.

"Xueqing......" Bingyan took her little hand, cold as ice.

Bingyan's hand was warm, and Xue Qing greedily sucked the temperature of his palm. Seeing this, Ice Flame uncovered the felt cloth and leaned against her. He took her in his arms, wrapped them in cloaks, and covered them with a thick felt cloth. Bingyan felt a little sweaty, but the person in his arms was still cold.

Feeling the temperature on Bingyan's body, Xue Qing drilled into his arms hard. At this time, Bingyan didn't care about the difference between men and women, hugged her tightly, and passed his body temperature to her.

Time passed slowly, but the person in his arms did not get warmer, and the ice flame quietly carried out internal force.

"Ice Flame ......" Xue Qing slowly opened her eyes, "You...... Listen to me...... You...... Go find ...... Nether Flower, don't ...... No...... me...... In the baggage...... Yes...... Compass, you ...... With. This...... It's snowy and easy to ...... Lost in the ......"

"Xue Qing, don't say it again!"

"You...... Let me finish. And one more ...... Jade box, inside ...... Put...... Millennial ice, used to ...... Put...... Nether Flower ...... Also, I brought ...... Adequate ...... Dry food, you ...... Take ......" Xue Qing stretched out her hand and stroked Bing Yan's cheek, "You...... Silly or not...... What the...... All...... Not prepared...... Only...... Run out...... How...... How to find ...... Nether Flower ......"

This is clearly explaining her last words, Bing Yan was annoyed and grabbed her hand back into the cloak: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I won't let you die!" You're going to help me find the Nether Flower together, and I can't find it alone. You're so smart and so thoughtful, I need your help. I want you to help me, do you hear me! ”

"Okay...... Xue Qing smiled, "but ...... I...... Right now...... Good...... It's cold...... You...... Let me...... First...... Sleep ......."

"Come, hold on to me, don't move. If I hold you, it won't be cold. ”

Seeing the person in his arms asleep and breathing evenly, Bing Yan relieved himself and closed his eyes.

The next day, Bingyan woke up and saw Xue Qing leaning motionless into his arms. He trembled and probed her snort, breathing, and then relieved.

After a while, Xue Qing slowly opened her eyes.

"Awake?"

Xue Qing smiled, "I'm going to help you find the Nether Flower!" ”

"Would you like to take another break?"

Xue Qing shook her head.

"Then let's eat something and then we'll go."

"You wait and make a mark in this cave, in case we don't find the Nether Flower or a place to live, we can come back."

"Good!"
