"Yellow sand-like tide--sweeping sky-"

"What the hell are you singing about?" The woman in the black cloak covered her ears a little unbearably, and then shouted at the man sitting next to her, "It's noisy! ”

"As soon as you look at it, you must not have seen that old man in Greenstone Village. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the wind and snow outside, Duan Qing grinned happily: "No, you have been to Greenstone Village, maybe you have seen that old man, but you have never heard of ......"

"What old man?"

"I haven't seen that old man either, but I've heard him sing this sentence just now." Tapping his fingers on his knees, Duan Qing withdrew his gaze from the wind and snow, and turned to look at the woman next to him: "It's a pity that I don't have that person's broken gong voice, I can't sing his taste, and it's not yellow sand blowing here, but heavy snow, otherwise it will feel even more......"

The woman looked at Duan Qing's face with inexplicable eyes for a while, then turned her head and no longer paid attention to him, but looked in the direction they came from before: "Nantie Mountain!" ”

"It's here, it's coming! Really, I've never seen anyone more anxious than me......"

A large man appeared on the outer rock wall of their position, his hands clutching a new mark on it, moving slowly but steadily in this direction, and below him, a human hanging in mid-air by a rope was also moving slowly with his movements, but the figure itself was no longer moving or sounding.

"Finally...... It's here! In the end, the black-armored man jumped in front of the two of them with a strong force: "You can hear the howl of Brother Qingshan from afar...... Is this it? ”

He looked around to the left and right.

This is a crack in the cliff face, which is said to be a gap, but its actual size is much larger than the real rock crevice, and what is even more striking is that the appearance of this gap is obviously artificial. The naturally formed gaps, it is impossible for there to be such regular lines on the outside, not to mention that the mountain body of the Falling Star Mountain they saw along the way was almost a huge rock, and there was no so-called gap at all.

"To be precise, this is a hole, a hidden hole that has been carved out by hand." Duan Qing, who was sitting on the side of the cave, explained.

"This ground...... It's obviously repaired. Nan Tieshan stomped his feet and looked at the ground under his feet: "This is it, it should be right!" We've finally found it, hahahaha! ”

"You'd better pull the guy down there first." There was a slight helplessness in Xue Ling's words: "It's been a long time since I've heard that Yate's movement...... It can't be frozen to death, right? ”

"Ahh The black-armored man scratched his head with a look of realization, and then hurriedly started the work of pulling people.

"Although there are some angles, it's ......" Duan Qing looked up at the space above him: "You can still see it from this place." ”

He pointed to the wall above his head: "Here, and here...... This must be a mark of polishing. ”

"Someone has renovated this entrance more comprehensively, it may be a modern person, or it may be an ancient person." Xue Lingphantasm Ice also came to a conclusion: "Of course, there may also be an exit here. ”

"Whether it's an entrance or an exit, you'll know when you go in and take a look." Duan Qing slapped his body and slowly stood up: "But before that, ......"

In front of him, the short rope was finally pulled to the end - the young man whose face was white from the cold was finally pulled up by the life-saving straw tied around his waist.

"It's not broken, it's tied very firmly, it's a bit of luck, young man......" Saying something inappropriate, Duan Qing reached out and patted Yate's face, and then screamed: "Oops, Yat has been frozen into ice!" ”

"I didn't look anxious at all, and I didn't even look out of your face." The woman in the black cloak walked to the edge of the cliff and dragged the rope to the inside of the cave with the rope: "Since this guy is so miserable, let's ....... Let's save people first. ”

"If you count the time, it should be late today." Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Nan Tieshan, who was still the captain, also made a due judgment: "Since you have found a place, it doesn't hurt to rest first." ”

Several people dragged and dragged the young man, who was almost frozen into ice, into the darkness deep at the entrance of the cave. Nan Tieshan rummaged for a while, and found out the torches that he had collected at the foot of the mountain for the adventure in his package: "I can't find anything to make a fire here, so let's use this first." ”

Then, the light of the torches revealed the place to them.

The flat walls, stretched upwards at an angle, then met and coincided not far above their heads, forming a slightly sharp ceiling, and as the two walls next to the cave deepened, the ground around them became more gentle, and behind them, a stone door blocked their way, but perhaps due to disrepair, half of the stone door had collapsed, leaving behind some large and small fragments.

But what is more interesting are the two stone pillars standing next to the stone gate. The two pillars seemed to be the same shape as the ones they had seen before, but the length had become shorter, the one on the right was still standing there, and the one on the left had fallen to one side with the collapse of the door, and it looked as if it had been smashed.

"Wow......" Duan Qing let out a whistle: "Great discovery." ”

"Hey, hey......" I don't know what a bright future I thought of, Nantieshan also let out a strange laugh: "After doing this way, I finally have hope......

"Don't even stand still." The woman in the black cloak was the first to wake up from the scene in front of her: "If Art dies, our guide will be gone." ”

"Oh, yes, yes......"

Several people hurriedly cleaned up for a long time, and finally made a decent fire - in order to make enough incendiary materials, some necessary sacrifices were essential, such as torches, useless clothing, furs seized on the way, and even some wooden weapons, Duan Qing also reluctantly contributed his own oil lamp, and turned the kerosene inside into fuel for the campfire. However, looking at the wind and snow outside, as well as the bonfire that was built with great difficulty, the three of them were still able to experience a little safety and relief in the thrill along the way.

"Along the way, I can be regarded as tortured." Looking at the young man lying by the fire with his eyes still closed, Nan Tieshan said with some emotion: "I have never experienced such an exciting adventure in my life......

"What is this, I ...... it at the beginning" Duan Qing's words paused, and then took a bite of the dry food that was already left on his body: "Forget it...... Speaking of this ghost weather, doesn't it mean to stop? If it weren't for my good teeth, I wouldn't have been able to gnaw on this frozen thing......"

"You can bake it." Xue Lingphantom Ice retracted his gaze and said indifferently.

"Hehe, hehe...... It's not like I haven't tried. Duan Qing smiled a little embarrassedly: "Alas...... When will this game allow people to cook their own food? ”

"I don't know. But if there is one...... Nan Tieshan poured a large mouthful of water to help himself flush the food that was difficult to swallow due to the cold into his stomach, and then put the kettle on the ground: "I won't eat these tattered dry food, first roast all the bear meat in the bag!" It's been a long time since I've eaten barbecue, and this time I almost suffered, so I have to eat a big meal to celebrate......"

"What happened to you on the cliff just now?"

"Ah, don't you know, I was almost killed by this kid just now! If I hadn't bought this pair of gloves from Lola Jr. in the Ice and Snow Embrace, I would have gone back to Tania's inn and had a drink with my brothers...... But this pair of gloves is really easy to use, produced by a mysterious merchant, it must be a high-quality product! ”

He gave a thumbs up, and then unexpectedly received two disdainful glances: "You don't have that life, don't blame me, ahhahahaha!" ”

“...... Then why didn't you come back from that 'little Lola' to buy some delicious food? ”

"Uh......"

"Or a recipe for cooking?"

"Uh......"

"That's a really good thing...... If there is such a thing as a recipe, even if you can't learn it yourself, you can sell it for a lot of money outside, and I don't know how many players are eager to solve the problem of eating......

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." The big man in black armor covered his face with one hand: "Isn't it okay to count me wrong?" But to be reasonable, if it were you, this kind of opportunity must also be staring at those superb weapons and equipment, right? Otherwise, I'm sorry for my luck......"

"Shh

The woman suddenly made a silent gesture, and then pointed at the young man on the ground—he groaned in pain twice, and then opened his eyes with difficulty.

*****************

"Thank you, thank you for ......"

Art swallowed the food with some difficulty, but the tears on his face did not stop for a moment: "Thank you for saving me......"

"You saved yourself." Duan Qing said in a lazy voice, "We just gave you a chance, as well as the necessary protection, and the rest of the things...... You deserve it. ”

"Yes, boy, your strength is ...... after all Limited, so you can do what you can do on it! The black-armored man patted him on the shoulder, ignoring the painful expression on Art's face: "The adventurer's life is all earned by himself!" Hahahaha......"

"You're going to shoot people to death." Xue Lingphantom Ice whispered on the side, so the big man withdrew his hand a little sneeringly.

"Anyway, thank you for saving my life." Art wiped his mouth, then folded his chest with one hand, knelt on the ground and performed a salute: "Arqvist Fratastagg, I will remember your kindness for the rest of your life. ”

The three people present, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know how to deal with such a situation is a better result. In the end, the three of them decided to come forward by Nan Tieshan with their eyes and helped the young man up: "Don't be like this, we are just adventurers, we haven't done anything great, and we were driven out by your people before......"

"Ahh That, that...... Please do not resent my people. Art's face turned red, and his hands swayed urgently: "They have ...... There are bitter ones. ”

"Oh?" Duan Qing on the side asked quietly, "Your clansmen ...... What happened? Why is there such hatred for us outsiders? ”

"That, that ......" Art hesitated a little, and only said in a very low voice after a while, "because of the last migration......"

"What?"

"Last migration...... A lot of people died. The young man of the Norsr tribe seemed to be caught up in some kind of unwanted memory: "It was not long ago, and some adventurers came to me, and I heard from the people of the tribe that they were also members of the adventurers who had been here......"

Duan Qing and Nan Tieshan invariably set their eyes on Xue Ling's phantom ice, and the latter lowered his head a little unnaturally, not knowing what he remembered.

The patriarch at that time gave them a warm reception and said that they were ...... Shirley's admirers, talked to them all night. As a result, after the adventurers left, the patriarch gathered many people to talk again, and finally ......"

"We decided to migrate, to a far away place."

"But you're still here." The woman in the black cloak spoke suddenly, interrupting Art's memories.

"Because...... The wind and snow suddenly became heavier. Art whispered: "Under the harsh environment, many people died as soon as we set off on our migration, cold, hunger, the mountain road to the north was also blocked, many wild beasts were also attacking us, and later encountered the roaring ...... of the snow-capped mountains."

"It's an avalanche." Looking at the inexplicable expressions of the other two people, the woman answered the questions in their minds in advance.

"The patriarch died, and in order to protect us from retreating, many powerful warriors also died, and my father ......" The young man bent his knees and wrapped his arms around him: "In order to survive, we had to retreat and elect a new patriarch, and then ...... Continue to live a difficult life here. ”

"After all, it's a natural disaster." Nan Tieshan patted his thigh: "What does it have to do with us outsiders......

"Many of the people in the tribe knew what had decided on that migration. I heard that there were many clansmen who opposed this matter at that time, including the new patriarch, so ......" Art looked up at the big man in front of him: "So they think that it was the arrival of those outsiders before that caused the wrath of the heavens, as well as this disaster." ”

Superstition is misleading...... Duan Qing on the side thought a little helplessly.

"Later, the clan made a rule not to easily contact outsiders, and not to easily believe their words." Atra pulled some of his damp clothes: "I hope to pray for forgiveness from Heaven and peace for the fate of the Nors. ”

"I remember...... When we came to the Ice Embrace before, the people there weren't so hostile. Duan Qing pinched his chin, and then looked at the woman next to him: "If what Art said is true......

"It's true." Knowing that the other party was suspicious of something, the woman gathered her cloak and hid her face a little more tightly: "They're going to let us stay there, it's all for the sake of ...... on my face. ”

"What?" Nan Tieshan was so shocked that he stood up: "Your face is so big?" I knew ...... earlier."

"Impossible." The woman interrupted the other party's words: "Even if it is Shirley's inheritor, it is impossible to persuade the other party to participate in such a thing. ”

Under Yate's suspicious gaze, Nan Tieshan stared at the woman in the corner tightly: "Are you...... Inheritor? Hidden Profession? ”

"What do you think!" As if she understood the other party's hidden meaning, the woman shook her head angrily: "If I have such a great ability, why should I come here to suffer with you......"

"Hmph." Nan Tieshan clenched his casserole-sized fist: "Labor and management have long known that you have an opinion on me......

"Stop, stop!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the quarrel that was about to break out between the two: "This woman has been worrying a lot lately, so she has a bad temper, big brother, forgive me, forgive me, hahahaha...... Feed! I'm begging you, okay, even if you don't want to participate in the competition, don't harm anyone......"

The last half of the sentence was whispered by him to Xue Lingphantom Bing, who looked at the few people present, and finally took his cold gaze back.

"Forget it, this matter is my problem. It was I who was overconfident and hid the task. The big man who stood in place was silent for a while, and finally slowly sat down on the spot: "Anyway, the mission has failed, go back and worry about these...... Nor is it the work of the eldest husband. Art, I didn't know what happened to your people before, and I didn't mean to pull you into the water, but now it's over...... Feed! Boy, have you listened to me well? ”

"You are ......" The young man of the Norsr tribe had completely ignored what these people next to him said, his eyes had been on the body of the woman in the black cloak, and his expression became a little excited: "Shirley's...... Inheritor? ”

"Not exactly." The woman glanced up at the other party, and finally nodded reluctantly: "But ...... Now that things have come to this point, ......"

She pointed to her right—in that direction, where the collapsed and remnant pillars and doors stood silently.

"It's a kind of fate."
