The old man walked into the desert with Zhan Wuxi, walked Lixu, and came to a sand dune as big as a hill. The old man stretched out his right palm and inserted it into the sand dune, and saw that the sand dune cracked a crack in the palm of the old man's hand, and the old man's palm was harder, and the crack opened bigger and bigger, until he could accommodate the two of them walking side by side. They entered through the crack, through a yellow sand road, which was not very long, and when they were near the end, a screen made of animal skins appeared in front of them, revealing bright lights, and from behind there came bursts of ancient music of silk and bamboo, and there were people eating, drinking, and having fun.

Bypassing the screen, it suddenly became clear, it turned out that there was a circular hall inside, several zhang high, dozens of zhang wide, the top of the arc dome was a circular skylight, the middle of the hall was a square pool, the pool was full of people, among which the upper head was in the middle was a chair made of black jade, there were three people on each side of the chair, dressed in Central Plains costumes, belts and swords, each holding a beautiful woman in his arms, was eating wine with the six people.

When everyone saw the old man coming, they all stood up and saluted, with a respectful attitude, obviously the old man had a very high status in the Ghost Fang tribe, and the six Central Plains people were indifferent to the arrival of the old man, as if they hadn't seen it.

The old man came to the black jade chair and stood still, and said in a loud voice: "This is my newly hired warrior, who is here to help our Ghost Fang tribe hunt down the snow demon. ”

There was a cheer.

The old man said: "Seven warriors have arrived, they are all masters who can defeat the ghost shadow, and they will also be able to hunt down the snow demon, our grassland is about to reappear, and our cattle and sheep are coming." ”

There was another burst of cheers, and they began to dance wildly, and some of them were so excited that they couldn't help themselves and jumped straight into the pool.

The old man came to Zhan Wuxian and said, "I am the patriarch of the Ghost Fang tribe, the black ghost ghost, this throne." The black vulture ghost pointed to the black jade chair behind him: "Our patriarch of the previous generation was killed by the snow demon in order to protect the ghost clan, before I killed the snow demon, I will not sit on this black jade throne, I will be like my clan, for your clan, sacrifice everything I have." ”

Exhibition without mercy silently.

The black vulture ghost saw Zhan Wuxian without speaking, and asked, "This is our ghost clan, I don't know what Your Excellency calls it?" ”

"Zhan Wu shirtless, a ranger in the rivers and lakes."

The black vultures said: "It's still a good name for you Central Plains people, haha, let me introduce you to the other six warriors, they are all from the fertile soil of the Central Plains." The black vulture ghost pointed to the three people on the left: "These three are three warriors from the Central Plains Jin Kingdom, they are ....."

"No need." One of them said: "The fewer people who know the names of our brothers, the better." I saw that the three of them were all about forty years old, all dressed in black, with bearded faces, and they looked exactly the same, like triplets. They only glanced at Zhan Wuxian, and then they were having fun again, and their expressions were extremely arrogant.

The black vulture ghost pointed to the first person on the right again: "This is a warrior from the Yan Kingdom, Gu Zhuming." "This person is gorgeously dressed, oily and powdery, and his whole body exudes a sense of luxury, and this person doesn't even look at Zhan Wuxian.

"This is a warrior from the Qi Kingdom, Tian Xuwu." This person is only in his twenties, dressed in green clothes, and dressed as a scholar. When he saw that Zhan Wuxian was also from the Central Plains, he bowed and smiled.

"This is the Qin Five Wolf Warrior from the Qin Kingdom." This person is in his thirties, dressed in white, with a yellow face and thin muscles, a sickly appearance, and coughs twice from time to time. When I saw Zhan Wuxian, I didn't know if I wanted to say hello or cover up, and I coughed even more.

Tian Xuwu, a native of Qi country, greeted Zhan Wuxian and sat down beside him, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old ghost girl came over, knelt next to Zhan Wuxian, poured wine for Zhan Wuxian, and then got up and leaned into Zhan Wuxian's arms. Zhan Wuxian raised his hand to refuse, the girl's face suddenly turned red, tears appeared in her eyes, and she knelt beside Zhan Wuxian again.

At this time, I heard the black ghost ghost say: "The Big Dipper has descended on the ghost tribe, and the day of killing the snow demon is coming, seven warriors, the seven women around you are selected by our ghost tribe to comfort you, after killing the snow demon, my ghost tribe still has a lot of thanks." ”

Gu Zhu said: "Black Vulture, don't say those useless, I am the warrior you invited, what is the coming of the Big Dipper, do you mean the seven of us?" I don't know what other people are capable of, but you just used such a chick to send me away, thinking beautifully. Before I see anything, I'll think about killing the snow goblins. ”

The three Jin Guodao: "What, do you still want to fight with our brothers?" ”

"That's not necessary, I've been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, but I haven't heard that there are your brothers in the Jin Kingdom."

"Our brothers haven't heard of you in Yan Guo."

Saying that, two groups of people quarreled, and even wanted to do it. The black ghost persuaded him: "Everyone, everyone, I have seen all your martial arts, you are all the ones who defeated the ghost shadow, you are all first-class masters, no matter how superior or inferior. As I said just now, after the success of the snow demon hunting, my ghost tribe will be grateful to you, and I have always done it as a ghost. Since Brother Lone Zhuming can't believe in my black ghosts, then I'll let you have a glimpse of it. ”

After the black ghost finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and there was a roaring sound under the pool, and after a while, the water in the pool began to tumble, and a white marble box slowly rose from it, and after stopping, the four walls of the stone box were opened, and they were laid flat on the water surface, just aligned with the edge of the pool. There is a gold cage made of gold in the stone box, the cage pillar is the thickness of a little finger, and the top and bottom of the cage are paved with gold bricks two inches thick, and this gold cage is made of hundreds of catties of gold. This golden cage is rare, but what is even more rare is the contents of the cage. Everyone looked at the golden cage, and there was a stunning woman crouched on the ground in the golden cage, only to see that this woman was naked, wearing a gold collar around her neck, and was tied to the golden cage by a gold chain. Her long blonde hair was scattered all over her body, covering her plump buttocks, and her breasts were covered with a little gold leaf. This woman has a slender figure, her skin is as white as jade, she is cold, her nose is high, her eyes are embarrassed, like a sapphire, everyone is crazy for a while, it is really unparalleled in the world, and there is no one in the Central Plains.

The black ghost said: "This is the reward prepared by my ghost clan for all the warriors, if anyone kills the snow demon, the gold and the woman in the golden cage will be whoever." ”

Gu Zhuming clapped his hands and said, "Heiwu, this is about the same, you can keep it for me." ”

One of the three Jin people said: "Gold is average, but this woman is not ordinary." I don't think this woman is like a woman from the Central Plains, nor is she like a Hu person, Hei Wu, where did you get it? ”

The black ghost smiled mysteriously, "You will know after you kill the snow demon." ”

Qi Guotian Xu Wu was not interested in the golden beauty in front of him, he said to Zhan Wuxian: "Before I came to the ghost side, I heard that there was a civil war in Chu, and there was a person named Zhan Wuxian who was very good, but Your Excellency? ”

"Exactly."

"Why did Brother Zhan come to the ghost party?"

"I just passed by, passed through the Shadow Valley, and met the patriarch of the Ghost Fang Clan, the Black Ghost Ghost, and heard him tell that the Ghost Fang tribe was harmed by the Snow Demon, so I agreed to come and help him."

"Ah...... Then you......? Tian Xuwu still asked why. Zhan Wuxian asked first: "Where did Brother Tian come from?" ”

Tian Xuwu looked at the woman in his arms with a smile and said, "For her." ”

"Women?"

"No, it's supposed to be a beauty." Tian Xu Wudao: "I have traveled all over the world in my life, I met her in the ghost side, if it wasn't for her, maybe I wouldn't be alive now." So this time, I helped the Ghost Fang tribe hunt down the snow demon for her sake. ”

"Brother Tian's pride in being a confidant is really admirable."

"You're laughing at me?" Tian Xuwu suddenly smiled wittily, and then pointed at Zhan Wuxian and said, "Who won the civil war in Chu?" Is it Xiong Qiji, or is that son defeating the enemy? ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "It's the bear giving up the disease." ”

"It's a pity, Xiong Qiji asked me to help him at the beginning, but I hesitated again and again and didn't agree, it seems that I was wrong."

"Why?" Zhan Wuxian asked curiously.

"I calculated at the time that there were 100,000 corpse beasts under the command of Childe's strike, which was extremely fierce, and the strength of Xiong Qiji was by no means the opponent of Childe's strike, and I would fail if I went or not, but I didn't expect him to win. I guess Xiong Qiji must have invited the top master, and it was that master who swayed the battle. Brother Zhan, you were in the Central Plains at the time, do you know who that master is? ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Tian Xuwu also shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." If I know who that person is, I must visit him and ask him how he broke the infinite cycle of lifeforms that Childe defeated the enemy, and that is the true hero. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "I think you will definitely know. ”

"I hope so." Tian Xuwu sighed and said: "Brother Zhan, you and I hit it off at first sight, I have one thing to ask Brother Zhan for help, I wonder if Brother Zhan can agree?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Brother Tian, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Tian Xu Wudao: "If I die when I hunt the snow demon, please Brother Zhan bring back my corpse and saber and give it to her." Tian Xuwu looked down at the woman in his arms: "Let her exchange my corpse and saber for the freedom she wants." ”

"Freedom?" Zhan Wuxian was a little puzzled.

"You must be weird." Tian Xu glanced at the other six women who were accompanying the wine, and said, "Actually, they are all slaves. ”

At this time, I heard the black vulture ghost say: "Warriors, the wizards of our ghost clan have already calculated, seven days later will be an auspicious day, it is a golden time to hunt and kill the snow demon, in these seven days, please recuperate, my ghost clan will do their best to meet all the requirements of the warriors." Tonight, these seven maidens will wait for the seven warriors to spend the night. The tent boiled again.

Tian Xuwu said to Zhan Wuxian: "Actually, everyone here comes to the ghost side for a purpose, for example, I am for her, and the three brothers of the Jin Kingdom I think it is not just for money and beauty. ”

Zhan Wuxian looked at the three Jin people.

"They look arrogant, but they're all pretending." Tian Xuwu continued: "See, the one sitting in the middle is called Wei Ziao, who is their boss, the one on the left is called Zhao Zhigu, the second child, and the one on the right is the third child, called Han Sanhai." ”

Zhan Wuxian nodded, and then secretly looked at Qin Wuwolf, who was under him, and said in a low voice: "Why did this come here?" ”

Tian Xu Wudao: "Some things are more valuable than money and beautiful women. Brother Zhan, why are you here? ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Of course, it's for things that are more important than money and beautiful women." As soon as these words came out, the two laughed.

That night, everyone was full of wine and food, and went back to rest. Originally, there were dozens of small sand dune tents scattered behind the big tent of the dunes, seven of which were the most new and gorgeous, larger than the other small tents of the dunes, and there were halls and bedrooms in them, the ground was draped with sheepskin carpets, the walls were made of cowhide, and the stools, tables, and tables were furnished, and a charcoal lamp stove was hung in the middle of the tent, which not only illuminated the whole tent but also doubled the warmth in the tent.

Zhan Wuxian walked into the second sand dune tent on the right hand, and when he was about to meditate and practice, the tent curtain was lightly lifted, and he walked into a ghost woman. The woman didn't say a word, and undressed one by one in front of Zhan Wuxian. Zhan Wuxian was taken aback and asked anxiously, "What are you going to do here?" The woman said, "I am the slave maid of the warriors, and I have come to serve the warriors tonight." Zhan Wuxian was a little at a loss: "No, I don't need you, I can do it myself." The woman was a little aggrieved, and said with a crying voice: "The patriarch has sent me to serve you, so that I will obey you in everything, and I cannot disobey the patriarch's orders." Zhan Wuxian said: "You didn't disobey the patriarch's order, I don't need you to sleep, I will explain the situation to your patriarch." The woman bowed her head, tears fell on the sheepskin carpet, and went out crying helplessly.

The next day, as soon as Zhan Wuxian walked out of the sand tent, he saw two Ghost Fang people carrying a corpse walking in front of him, and Zhan Wuxian saw at a glance that this corpse was the ghost woman who was going to sleep with him last night. Zhan Wuxian was very surprised, and said in his heart: This woman was fine last night, why did she turn into a corpse early this morning, could it be that there was something wrong with the Ghost Fang Clan, or that the snow demon attacked here last night. However, it doesn't look like the situation, if the snow demon attacked here last night, the people of the Ghost Fang must be very flustered, but this place is still as orderly as last night, and it doesn't look like something has happened. Even if the snow demon sneaked up here, the people of the Ghost Fang clan didn't know, and they should be able to detect it, but there was no abnormality at all last night.

Zhan Wuxian stepped forward to ask the two ghost Fang people who carried the corpse, and the two only saluted Zhan Wuxian politely, but did not say a word. Zhan Wuxian was helpless and wanted to ask others, but at this time, the black vulture ghost appeared in front of Zhan Wuxian.

"The Warrior must have wanted to ask her why she died?"

"Exactly."

"Because she didn't serve the warrior last night, as a woman of the Ghost Fang Clan, she didn't complete the task given to her by the Ghost Fang Clan, so she has no need to live."

"You killed her?" Zhan Wuxian's eyes stared at the black vulture, and his face was full of murderous aura.

The black vulture ghost still said calmly: "No one killed her, no one persecuted her, it was her own decision." ”

Zhan Wuxian didn't speak again, he looked into the distance, and saw that the two ghost tribesmen who carried the corpse put the woman's body under the dead tree, uncovered the black cloth covering her, and let her lie on the sand with her whole body, and then the two of them each leaned over and picked up a handful of sand, and then let the sand flow onto the woman's body. At this time, Zhan Wuxian suddenly remembered that he had seen the white bones on the sand when he had just arrived here, and he seemed to understand something.

Zhan Wuxian walked over and saw that the sand had covered most of the woman's body. Zhan Wuxian also picked up a handful of sand and let the sand flow onto the woman's body.

"If one day I feel that I have no effect on the Ghost Fang Clan, I will make the same choice as her, this girl is the glory of the Ghost Fang Clan." The black vulture came over and looked at the woman's corpse.

"What's her name?" Zhan Wuxian asked.

"Since the person is dead, it doesn't matter what her name is."

Zhan Wuxian returned to the sand tent and saw Tian Xuwu holding a ghost woman drinking in his arms, and when he saw Zhan Wuxian coming in, he handed him a bowl of wine and said, "Brother Zhan, come and drink a bowl." Zhan Wuxian took it and drank it all. Tian Xu Wudao: "Do you know why I don't want to go back to the Central Plains?" ”

"Why?"

"Because the women here, they are like this wine, they are strong, but when you drink it in your stomach, they are extremely gentle." Tian Xuwu looked at the woman in his arms, and said, "I can't lose you anymore, even if I die, I will die here." ”

At this time, the Ghost Fang people sent two large plates of roast mutton and a few plates of green vegetables, plus a jar of spirits. Tian Xu Wu signaled to eat quickly, Zhan Wuxian was a little puzzled, but he saw the Ghost Fang clan who came to deliver the meat standing not far away, staring at them with longing eyes, Zhan Wuxian immediately understood, he picked up a piece of mutton, opened his mouth and ate it, drinking while eating. After a while, he finished eating two plates of mutton and a few plates of green vegetables, and finally pinched up the minced meat stuck to the edge of the plate with his hands and ate it.

Tian Xu Wudao: "That's right, the people of the Ghost Fang Clan are hospitable, if you don't accept what they give you, they will think that they are not good enough, and they will blame themselves." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "I also feel it, if we don't finish the meat and drink the wine dry today, I'm afraid we will die again." ”

Tian Xuwu smiled and said, "Maybe, let's go and see, is Qin Wuwolf back?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said, "Do you know where Qin Wuwolf went last night?" ”

Tian Xu Wudao: "This is not the first time that Qin Wuwolf has secretly gone out, if he can come back alive, don't you know where he went." Let's go, we'll find out. ”

The two of them came out of the sand tent and saw a lot of ghost tribesmen sitting together, with a clay pot in the middle, and in the basin was a gray-white sticky thing, and the ghost people were eating it with their hands. Zhan Wuxian looked at it, his heart tightened, thinking of the meat he had just eaten and the wine he drank, these ghost Fang people would rather starve themselves and eat some thin food, but also let us distant visitors eat and drink enough, this ghost fang is really a simple place. Zhan Wuxian secretly decided that he must help them hunt down the snow demons.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and the people of the Ghost Fang clan were terrified.

"Could it be that the Snow Demon is coming?" Zhan Wuxian thought secretly, and then raised his true qi to the dantian, ready to shoot at any time. After a while, the Ghost Fang Clan people all gathered over, Zhan Wuxian and Tian Xu Wu also followed, and when they got closer, it turned out that several Ghost Fang Clansmen had returned with a bloody person. I saw that the man was covered with blood and flesh, and there was an ice arrow stuck in his left eye, and the blood was still dripping, leaving a blood line on the ground where he passed. Judging from that person's outfit, he could be identified as Qin Wuwolf. As soon as the Ghost Fang Clan carried Qin Wuwolf into the sand tent, the Black Vulture Ghost Yu followed up with a Ghost Fang wizard, and after a while, a terrible cry came from inside the sand tent, accompanied by a sad wail.

"Could it be that the five wolves of Qin are dead?" Zhan Wuxian asked.

"Let's go, Qin Wuwolf is not dead yet." Tian must have no way.

"Why is he like this?" Zhan Wuxian asked, "You must know something." ”

"When Qin Wuwolf wakes up, we will naturally know, so let's go back to the sand tent and wait first." Tian must have no way.
