Chapter 97: Frost and Snow

Fortunately, Bai Ya's methods were much gentler. He adjusted the two knives to the right anglesβ€”of course, almost nothing was visible, it was all by feeling. Two cracks erupted on the ice, forming a perfect arc and encircling Qi Huan entirely. It's just that when he was pulled out, there were still large and small ice cubes hanging on his body, heavy and cold. Sometimes there is a gentle cool breeze. The wind wasn't strong, but when it swept across their wet clothes, it didn't feel better than freezing in ice.

Bai Ya didn't seem to be affected, but Qi Huan felt very uncomfortable. His joints began to ache again, and in the darkness he couldn't see, his skin was covered with strange lines of veins and tendons. It's not just a matter of freezing, it's the after-effects of the original entanglement with the Umiyasha. He still doesn't have an excessive fear of the water itself, but the pain it brings is real. Now that it was ice, he didn't know what he was thinking.

He complained that the place was too dark and he couldn't see anything. As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely shallow light emanated from Frost Moon Jun's body. They were really startled without saying hello at all, even such a faint light made people's eyes hurt. They got used to it for a while, only to find that the brightest place was the Demon Sealing Blade in his hand.

"That's a lot to ask for."

Qi Huan stopped talking, but his hand searched and touched his body, and then suddenly fell back on the ice and began to grope around. With a faint light, his whole body suddenly became a little impatient, and he didn't seem to feel cold anymore.

"What are you doing?" Bai Ya asked.

"What about wood carvings?" Qi Huan said as he removed the ice, "It can't be gone, we fell it for ......."

As soon as he said this, Bai Ya also began to look left and right.

"If you throw it farther away, you won't lose it!"

"It's nice if I can catch it, it's a lot. Why don't you take it away? Rely on me? ”

"Not yet!" Qi Huan took a sip.

Shuang Yuejun held her hands, tilted her head, and watched the two of them fight. He felt that he was very bright at the moment.

"You guys really have a good relationship."

"Fart!"

"It's useless to be fierce." Frost Moon Jun said calmly, "I think it's strange. Aren't you in a hurry to find someone? Why can't you get along with a small toy? ”

"That thing...... Alas, we didn't expect it to be so serious anyway. ”

"Instead of arguing about who is right and who is wrong, and finding a useless object, think about how to get up."

Frost Moon Jun's words were correct, and both of them fell into a brief silence. After a while, Bai Ya asked him:

"Then how do you say you can go up?"

"I don't know."

"What......" Qi Huan felt himself choked again, "Then how did you get down?" ”

"Jump off."

"Haven't thought about how to go up yet?"

"Nope."

He took it for granted, as if recklessness was the right way to go. The bad mood of the two has been successfully transferred to him. But if you are serious about a madman or a fool, it will seem very cheap.

"Actually......" Qi Huan pondered, "if there is enough water here, we can use a method to divert water, but we can send us up." But they are too cold, and the slightest movement will freeze and freeze. ”

They lowered their heads and looked at the already frozen water. This kind of ice is not clear, but a foggy white, and perhaps there are gaps in between, which makes people's footsteps seem harsh. If you look closely, some of the dark shadows are probably just stones and earth falling with them.

"Is the compass still on you?" Bai Ya had an idea and stretched out his hand to Frost Moon Jun.

"Went back."

"You ......"

"They'll probably come down."

"How does this come down?"

Bai Ya and Qi Huan felt headaches to varying degrees. He probably gave up looking for the culprit who had led him to such a fateβ€”he had given up the wood carving, drew his scimitar, and rubbed it in the darkness with an unpleasant sound.

Qi Huan could guess that he was probably listening to the sound to identify the position. There is a book shortage

The echoes are layered on top of each other, and you can probably hear the span of the canyon. Maybe it won't take long to walk through from below. So Frost Moon Jun and Qi Huan followed. Qi Huan felt that his body was not very comfortable, and the problems in his body were only exposed when he moved. With every step, his legs were tingling. The three of them walked on the ice for a long time. The area of this ice is very wide, presumably, because the two big men are too heavy and too moving. It may also be that the light is too dim, and the light of the Demon Sealing Blade is not enough to illuminate the darkness, and it is even more difficult to move forward with the emotions of the unknown.

Suddenly, a faint spot of light appeared in front of him.

The light was not strong, but dim. Maybe they're bright on their own, but the darkness around them is too intense. The light blue light dots go up and down, gradually approaching, like fireflies. They slowed down slightly, waiting for the light to get closer. Qi Huan stretched out his hand, and a small ball of light fell on his hand. He was sure that it was indeed a firefly, but it was not ordinary, and it had very strong spiritual power.

Most of the fireflies landed on Frost Moon Jun's body, like butterflies that sucked nectar from flowers, or bees. They are silent, so they seem closer to the former, but they can be similar in size to the latter. Each bug didn't stay on Frost Moon for too long, they would occasionally change places to rest, and occasionally fly back up, over and over again.

"I know about these fireflies." Bai Ya bowed slightly, and looked at Frost Moon Jun's back, "My father taught me to use them as fluorescent lanterns, which can be lit for a long time." ”

"How can there be so many? What do they want to do? ”

As soon as Qi Huan asked, these insects left Frost Moon Jun one after another. They seem to be a little brighter than before. However, Frost Moon Monarch was still that inconsequential, and perhaps this loss of spiritual power would be harmless to him. The bugs went away again, but this time they were not as scattered as they had come, but clustered together.

It's like showing the way.

Frost Moon Jun followed, not saying anything. Bai Ya and Qi Huan looked at each other and decided to catch up as well. The route of the swarm has shifted a bit from before. As they walked, they suddenly felt that their feet were not so strong. The crunching sound became more pronounced, and they felt a little "sticky" underfoot. Obviously, it is the tactile sensation caused by stepping on water and then quickly condensing. That is, they have been able to push the road surface down.

The trio were approaching the edge of the ice. This time, they didn't move that much, and the speed of the ice spreading was obviously not keeping up with their pace. If you continue like this, you will probably sink deeper and deeper, and eventually end up completely submerged in the ice.

Bai Ya and Qi Huan both felt that something was wrong. They can't go any further, or something will happen. The water was almost submerging the soles of his feet. But Frost Moon Jun was still moving forward, without the slightest intention of staying. There was a distance between them.

Something unexpected happened to the two of them.

Frost Moon Jun has indeed gone far, and it stands to reason that he has completely come to the waters. But he didn't sink, and hovered lightly over it with every step. Ripples spread from where his clogs touched, an icy blue glow in the center. Immediately after that, he took the second step, the first step out of the water. With just a slight touch, the frost completely blurs on the surface of the water, like ink falling onto paper, drop by drop.

This scene was like a dream, and neither of them dared to rush forward.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

Frost Moon Jun turned his head, still with that silent, composed, almost tired expression on his face. The two of them stepped out and followed closely, and ice splashed as they pulled their feet. Then, they stepped on solid ice again.

The ice area that Frost Moon Jun stepped out of was transparent, transparent and bright, emitting a soft light, much milder than his own temperament. It won't be long before the ice is covered with a faint fog. The fog is perceptible like frost, only more delicate, which makes them less slippery. I don't know if Frost Moon Jun did it on purpose.

When they came somewhere, the fireflies stopped, and flew in place in a somewhat restless place, circling in circles, like a swarm of flies without a sound on leftovers.

The three of them all lowered their heads in unison, trying to see what was going on.

Qi Huan first crushed his feet on the ice a few times, but the mist had completely frosted. Doing so only turned the hazy ground into a dirty white. So Bai Ya knelt down on one knee, tilted a knife, kept it close to the ice, and slowly cut it over. The ice surface melts a thin layer under the action of the high temperature, revealing the crystal clear part.

It was a face.

Qi Huan noticed that Bai Ya's knife trembled slightly, and he also squatted down, trying to see what it was. To be more precise, it wasn't a human face – it used to be. Now, it's just white bones, with two black holes at the top. It's a little tilted, but it's enough to tell what it is.

Bai Ya suddenly fell on the ice, trying to get closer. It was a strange move, but they didn't care that much. The face has deep cracks, but it is not completely shattered.

"Are those...... Missing people? ”

"I don't know." Bai Ya didn't look back, still staring at the skull, "It looks ...... Comparatively smaller. ”

After saying that, he immediately straightened up, grabbed the back of the scimitar with both hands, scraped it from top to bottom, and kept retreating. Eventually, the area became clear. In the glow of the fireflies, they could clearly see that a skeleton in a strange position was frozen on the ice. It still had torn fabrics hanging from it, and it was too rotten to look good. The white bones were covered by the remnants of the fabric, and although they were connected, they gave people a messy feeling.

"The water level here wasn't that high in the past."

Frost Moon Jun quickly came to a conclusion, and the other two hadn't even begun to think about it.

"How so?"

"It's rotten like this." He introduced without emotion, "Judging from the posture and clothing, it was first turned into white bones and then carried up by the water. Probably a fall. The lower end of the canyon is narrower than the upper section, and it has long been a bone slag when it falls straight from such a height. Probably, it rolled all the way down, knocked his head on the way, and died. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hopefully he doesn't have too much pain. Qi Huan sighed, "I also hope to be reincarnated into a good family." ”

"No, it won't. The aura here is very chaotic, not to mention the large-scale enchantment that isolates the present world, it is estimated that it has been arranged a long time ago, and who knows where his soul will go. ”

Frost Moon Jun's attitude was so meaningless, but when he heard these words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.
