This place is called Snow Valley, which is naturally different from the general place, with perennial snow and a cold climate, Jiang Ling is not familiar with such an environment, and wants to explore some precautions.

Who knew that the guard with a cold face was so vigilant and domineering, and he actually stopped Jiang Ling with an unkind face.

Jiang Ling's face was expressionless, he raised his hand and pointed at the guide at the front, and replied: "Our people are not very familiar with Snow Valley, I want to ask him some information about Snow Valley, so as to avoid any mistakes." ”

Lei Hu was speechless for a while, his gaze stayed on Jiang Ling's face.

Seeing this, Qu Kun turned his head and said, "Lei Hu, let him pass." ”

Hearing Qu Kun's order, Lei Hu glanced at Jiang Ling and turned sideways.

Jiang Ling didn't care, walked behind the guide, and asked, "Is there anything to pay attention to in the snow valley?" ”

The guide looked kind, turned back to Jiang Ling and said, "There is something called the Snow Snake in the Snow Valley, which will lurk in the snow to hibernate, but if you get close, you will wake up, it is highly poisonous, you need to be careful." In addition, there is also a kind of snow wolf, but the snow wolf is generally deep in the snow valley, and we can't touch it for the time being. There are also some non-threatening animals such as ferrets and snow-capped mountain antelopes, but you don't have to worry about it. ”

Jiang Ling nodded, and asked again, "What about other animals?" What else should I look out for? ”

"There may be ice picks hidden in the snow in some places, so you need to be careful." The guide thought for a while, and finally said: "The most dangerous thing is naturally an avalanche, but this year's snow is not very much, as long as there is too much movement, it will not cause an avalanche." ”

"Okay, thank you." After Jiang Ling listened, he turned around and was about to leave.

Who knew that the guide added another sentence and said with a smile: "There are some medicinal materials in the Snow Valley, such as Winter Thorn Grass, Ice Lingzhi can be seen with good luck, and the legendary Ice Crystal Snow Lotus that can live and die human flesh and bones, which is priceless, you can also pay attention to it." However, this snow lotus has not appeared for three years and is very rare. ”

"Hopefully we'll see one." Jiang Ling responded casually and thanked him again.

After inquiring about the information with the guide, Jiang Ling turned around and returned to his team, and then shared the information with everyone. Although there is not much information available in practice, it is better than nothing.

After walking for a while, Sun Xiaolou pointed to the side of the cliff in surprise and said, "There are really ferrets." ”

Jiang Ling looked up and saw a snow-white mink about the size of an adult's palm crawling on the valley on one side. Its snow-white fluff became a protective color, and it would be difficult to see on the snow-covered mountain walls if it weren't for running.

Sun Xiaolou's eyes lit up, thinking that girls are not very resistant to this kind of fluffy little thing.

Jiang Ling glanced at the running mink, where it was difficult to grasp, and it shouldn't be caught now.

Just after Jiang Ling withdrew his gaze, Bob here also glanced at the ferret, but then suddenly frowned, staring at a place on the mountain wall, as if he had found something.

The ferret ran to a slight bulge in the rock face, stopped abruptly, then moved two steps sideways, and quickly made a detour to throw it away.

Bob looked at the bulge and exclaimed, "Be careful, there's an ambush!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ling and the others were shocked, and hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Boer, and Lei Hu and the others here also immediately pulled out the steel knife on their waists and quickly surrounded Qu Kun in the middle.

Suddenly, several snowflakes burst up on the mountain wall, and four white-clothed figures appeared, flying directly towards Qu Kun from the mountain wall.

"There really are assassins!" Jiang Ling was also taken aback, and raised his shield to move closer to Qu Kun.

The four figures shot down from the mountain wall, holding short knives, like cheetahs to kill, pointing directly at Qu Kun who was surrounded by everyone.

Lei Hu shouted in a low voice: "Protect your lord!" ”

The four figures crashed into the formation of the five people, and immediately there was a sound of blades colliding and the skin and flesh of clothes being cut by sharp weapons, even in the blink of an eye, blood was splashed, and the scarlet blood falling on the white snow was particularly dazzling.

Jiang Ling hurriedly said to Bobler: "Don't be careless, continue to stare around." ”

Li Jiuxi muttered and quickly passed a few people, rushing towards the battle, about to deal with the assassins.

"I'm very confident in my own combat power, and I want to kill the enemy?" Jiang Ling thought so in his heart when he saw this, but in fact, there was no need for a few people to intervene in the battle situation, the two groups of people collided and fought together, and it didn't necessarily help much to rush in with the strength of Jiang Ling's few people, but since Li Jiuxi should be an agile character, it wouldn't be helpful for him to join the battle.

Jiang Ling and the others also approached the battle situation, but did not rush in to intervene, Bober listened to Jiang Ling's words, and was vigilant around to guard against lurking enemies.

Jiang Ling paid attention to the situation in the battle, he could see that the four assassins were indeed extraordinary, and they almost risked their lives to kill Qu Kun, it can be said that they were no longer assassins, but dead soldiers. The four dead men fearlessly rushed to slaughter, and in a matter of moments the scene became bloody.

But Qu Kun's guards did live up to Jiang Ling's expectations, and one person and one waist knife intercepted the four dead soldiers and protected Qu Kun behind him.

Among them, Lei Hu was the strongest, and after a few swords, he directly cut off the head of a dead soldier.

But several other dead soldiers rushed to kill regardless of their lives, and Qu Kun's servants were also injured immediately, and one of their left arms was directly cut off, dripping with blood.

Jiang Ling and Sun Xiaolou quickly took two steps closer and came behind Qu Kun to prevent someone from breaking through the defenses.

Jiang Ling held the shield in one hand and stared at the three dead soldiers who might rush over on the other. The next moment, Jiang Ling's mind moved, raised his hand, and was ready to try his spiritual skills, although his spiritual skills were only just beginning and he was not proficient at all, but since he was a spiritual master, he always had to find an opportunity to try to release his spiritual skills in the battle.

As for what kind of spiritual magic to release, Jiang Ling remembered that Li Qingzhou waved his hand to summon a vine wall spell, he didn't have the ability to summon such a vine wall at the moment, but he wanted to try to summon a vine, even if it was to wrap around the dead man.

At this moment, Bobble, who was vigilant around, exclaimed: "Beware of flying arrows!" ”

"Huh!?" Everyone was stunned, Qu Kun raised his head, his pupils contracted, and he saw a flying arrow quickly slashing through the wind and snow, shooting straight towards him.

Sure enough, there is a dead soldier hidden on the mountain wall! It was an archer, very hidden, and he took the opportunity to shoot an arrow!

At this time, Lei Hu and several servants were still fighting with those dead soldiers, and Jiang Ling and Sun Xiaolou were in the position behind Qu Kun on the left and right, and it was difficult to block the flying arrows at all.

It turned out that these four dead soldiers who were desperate to charge were just a trick, and they just wanted to fight for this arrow!

This arrow was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it swept through the flying wind and snow, leaving a blank trail, and came straight to Qu Kun's eyes, and it was about to shoot into Qu Kun's head in the next moment.

Lei Hu's eyes were cracking, but he didn't have time to stop it, and watched the flying arrow come to Qu Kun's forehead.

At this critical moment, a green shadow swept out and directly blocked Qu Kun.

Burst!

With a slight piercing sound, the arrow that sliced through the snow shot into a verdant vine.

The body of the arrow was stuck in the middle of the wrist-thick vine, and the tip of the arrow was only a centimeter away from Qu Kun's forehead, but fortunately it did not continue to fall.

The next moment, the vine suddenly turned brown, then weathered away, and the arrow fell to the ground weakly.

Even in the ice and snow, a trace of cold sweat appeared on Qu Kun's forehead, and the blood in his whole body froze, and he came back to his senses after a while.

Over there, Lei Hu was furious and suddenly threw the steel knife in his hand, and the blade broke through the wind and galloped, directly nailing the shooter hiding on the mountain wall to the stone wall.

Here, Li Jiuxi also found an opportunity, bowed down like a cheetah, and then suddenly bullied up, stabbed the short knife through the back of the heart, and took the life of the last dead soldier.

So far, a total of five dead soldiers, all dead.

Bober was still looking around vigilantly, and after Lei Hu called the other guards to sort out the wounds and examine the corpse, he quickly came to Qu Kun's side and asked anxiously, "Are you okay, my lord?" ”

Qu Kun, who came back to his senses, showed a smile with difficulty and said, "I'm fine, thanks to that vine." ”

As he spoke, Qu Kun and Lei Hu turned their heads to the two behind them.

Jiang Ling was bending over and gasping for breath, while Sun Xiaolou was on the side to support Jiang Ling, who was suddenly exhausted, she saw Qu Kun and Lei Hu looking back, so she said with a hint of pride: "It was our captain who made the shot." ”

Qu Kun had a warm smile on his face, and then when he saw Jiang Ling's rapid breathing, he turned into worry again, and he also reached out to help Jiang Ling up, and said, "Thank you Brother Jiang for helping, what's wrong with you?" It's okay, right? ”

"It's okay, I made a move in a hurry, I just consumed too much spiritual art." Jiang Ling waved his hand to signal that there was no need to worry.

Just now he heard Bob's warning, and he also noticed the flying arrow, the speed of the flying arrow was too fast, he didn't have time to think too much, but subconsciously condensed all his spiritual power, and summoned a vine from the stone wall on Qu Kun's side to stop the flying arrow.

Because of the hasty response and the almost overloaded output of spiritual power, Jiang Ling suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and a sense of oppression came from all over his body, making him almost fall down.

But I think about it, if it weren't for the crazy output of spiritual power, making the vine condensed enough, it really wouldn't be able to block the flying arrow.

Qu Kun patted Jiang Ling's back and said approvingly: "I didn't expect Brother Jiang to be a spirit master, it's really powerful, the arrow came abruptly, and it was coated with venom, if it wasn't for your help, my life would have been confessed here." ”

"I said that since I promised to escort the adults into the valley, I will naturally do my best." Jiang Ling said a polite word, then looked up at Qu Kun and asked, "My lord, I don't know who these assassins are?" ”

At first, Jiang Ling thought that another group of players had started to attack, but then he observed that those dead soldiers were not players, so Jiang Ling wanted to confirm the identities of these people, so that he could think about what kind of force the local NPC helpers of the hostile players were.

Qu Kun raised his head and looked at Lei Hu when he heard this, but Lei Hu glanced back at Qu Kun and said solemnly: "What we can know so far is that these people are all from our border army. ”

"Our soldiers?" Qu Kun probably understood, frowned and muttered, "They just want me to die like that?" ”
