The Desperate Mountains, as its name suggests, are a steep region on the edge of civilization, with an average elevation of more than 10,000 meters, with an endless sea on one side and a vast white glacier on the other.

It's almost off the beaten track in this world, and even the bravest adventurous party won't easily set foot on the edge of a desperate mountain range.

Because the name "desperate" is not some kind of exaggerated description, or artistic decoration, but a simple description.

No animals!

No plants!

Some are just extremely cold climates and very harsh living conditions.

To be exact, there is no sign of life in the area, and at most there are occasional birds flying across the mountains from one side of the world to the other.

In a way, the Desperate Mountains are like a wall that keeps out the cold winds from the north.

But today, two black shadows broke the original tranquility and walked slowly on a white snow, leaving a row of very conspicuous footprints.

You don't have to ask to know that they are none other than the woman and boy who had just crossed the portal and arrived in this area.

After two or three days of continuous progress along the steep snow-covered rocks as far as the eye could see, they still did not find the entrance to the cave that the Prophet had hidden, not even the slightest trace of magic.

Obviously, either they haven't found the right place yet, or the entrance to the cave isn't the only one that's fixed, it's constantly changing.

Either way, it means it's not easy to figure it out.

Feeling the wind blowing like a knife, the boy sighed slightly, and said to the woman with the collar in a threatening tone, "You know what? It's been almost three days! If you haven't found a clue in five hours, you'd better be prepared." ”

"No! No! It's not my problem! As I said before, the entrance to that cave is impossible for anyone to find unless invited. The woman shuddered with fright and hurriedly excused herself.

"I'm sorry, I don't accept any kind of prevarication and excuses, anyway, you have five hours left, work hard. With that, the boy gave the other a meaningful look, and then stepped on the thick snow.

In contrast, the woman seemed to be strongly stimulated, trembling slightly all over her body, and her eyes showed intense fear.

Because she knew that if there was no progress after five hours, then what awaited her would be a punishment worse than death.

In fact, the two of them had only spent more than fifty hours together, and they had not spoken more than twenty words, but the woman who had mastered the magic of life deeply realized that the person who was walking with her was not a boy at all, but a monster who exuded darkness and evil from the inside out.

No emotion!

There is no mercy or mercy!

Do whatever is good for you, and destroy what is not good for you, even if the life of an entire planet is extinct because of it.

But in order to survive, in order to be able to continue to live, the woman had to use her brain, frantically recalling all the fragments related to the prophet, trying to find some clues that could be used.

After about ten minutes, she suddenly stopped and shouted in a slightly harsh voice, "I...... Near the entrance to the cave, there was a rock of a very strange shape, which was not covered with snow, not even a single snowflake on it. ”

"No rocks covered in snow?" the boy's eyes flashed.

If you look elsewhere and find a rock with a strange shape and no snow cover, you will naturally look for a needle in a haystack.

But almost every corner of this high-altitude mountain range covered with snow is covered with a thick layer of snow, so a rock that is not covered with snow stands out as much as light in the dark.

Without any hesitation, he immediately cast a spell to create dozens of magic eyeballs and began a carpet search around the entire mountain range, while he sat back and waited patiently for the results.

Time flies, and two hours pass in the blink of an eye.

When the woman began to get a little restless, the boy, who had always closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, grinned and muttered, "Aha!

The words just fell!

He left the trembling woman on her knees, opened a portal and passed through.

Next Second......

A strange rock, like an old man kneeling on the ground and looking up at the starry sky, instantly appeared in the field of vision.

Upon closer inspection, the boy discovered that the stone was not polished by man, but by nature.

Just as he stretched out his hand to touch the cover-up, an indescribable force suddenly appeared, followed by a sudden disappearance.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the area around him was no longer a white snow, but a bottomless cave.

In the deepest part of the cavern, a faint orange-red glow could be seen, as if someone was lighting a fire inside.

"Interesting! some natural waypoint?" the boy muttered to himself as he walked down the dark passageway.

Seven or eight minutes later, he saw an old man sitting around a bright fire.

"Ah, you're finally here, take a seat, I've been waiting for you for a long time. The old man slowly raised his head, revealing a face that was indescribably old.

Wrinkles!

Age spots!

And extremely loose muscles!

It is hard to imagine that a life whose physical condition has deteriorated to such a level can still maintain a strong mental strength.

In particular, those eyes are bright and clear, as if they have seen through the past, present and future.

"Do you recognize me?" the boy narrowed his eyes, cautiously tentatively.

The old man nodded slightly: "Yes, I recognize you, from the moment you were born twelve years ago, I already knew your name, even the lost half of your body. ”

"What do you mean?"

That's what it means literally. When you came into this world, you were split in two by some incredible force, half of which became who you are now, and the other half became your twin brother. ”

"What do you mean...... We were actually one person?"

"Yes, it's not right. If you don't mind, can I invite you to watch a piece of inspiration that suddenly came twelve years ago?"

"Why not?"
