Chapter 114: The Frozen Village
The farther north you go, the colder it becomes. Qing Chi rubbed his hands that were already frozen red and pushed away the heavy stones. Inside the cave is the temple set up by Master Howl, and the magic stone tablet is sealed in the same stone pillars as the southern continent. Sure enough, cracks had appeared in the stele here, and a small unstable vortex had been created in the temple, fluttering around the stone pillars. Qing Chi put on the talisman given by Hal and jumped into the whirlpool. A familiar suction force struck, Qing Chi's eyes lit up, and the next moment, his body had fallen heavily into the snow. Unfortunately, there happened to be a big stone at the exit, which made Qing Chi fall a lot. The feet are on the soft snow, and when you walk up, you make a "squeak" sound, and when you look up, you see a white snow field in front of you, and the white color of the ground pierces people's eyes. Qing Chi rubbed his back and stood up, and the channel vortex had indeed disappeared. Putting on a witch mask and hiding her name, Qing Chi struggled to move. It was a vast white mountain, with high slopes and knee-deep snow making it difficult to move. Since he was not born in the Northern Extreme Cold Continent, Qingchi lacked cold-resistant attributes, and even if he wore a cold-proof cloak, the whole person was still a little stiff from freezing. In such weather, if you stay in the wild for too long, you are likely to freeze to death. And if something explodes after the death of the Northern Extreme Cold Continent, it will bring endless trouble.
Fortunately, Qing Chi saw that there seemed to be a village under the mountain in the distance. Most of the houses on the northern continent are low, and half of them are sunk deep into the ground to keep warm. Qingchi could see the smoke in the distance. Since it is not the mainland, on Qingchi's map, there is only a piece covered by clouds and mist, and all of them are unknown locations. Although he vaguely remembered the location where the dragon scale mine appeared in the previous life, there was no map, and Ren Qingchi's memory could not find it no matter how good his memory was. Where there are villages, there will be grocers, and it is imperative to buy a map of the northern continent.
Finally, with great difficulty, they moved to the front of the village. In the fenced village, the snow on the ground has been cleared into a thin layer, and weeds on the ground can be faintly seen. Outside the low houses, there are many neat timbers, and some houses have bearskins hanging at the entrance as curtains. Qing Chi walked outside a smoking house and knocked on the door. Strangely, after waiting for a long time, no one answered. Qing Chi frowned, and was about to try to unlock it, but the door opened as soon as he pushed it. The fireplace was still blazing, and goat cheese balls and honey wine were on the table. Qing Chi glanced at the room, but was suddenly stunned, a person in the room was sitting in front of the bed, and the whole person was covered with cold blue light. , it looks like it's frozen alive inside! In the warm house, it was frozen into an ice cube man from the inside out! How is this possible? Qing Chi touched it with his hand in disbelief, and the skin of the human body really became as stiff as a stone, and a chill came from his fingertips. Qing Chi quickly went out and pushed open several houses again, and sure enough, all the people inside were frozen!
This strange situation made Qing Chi's back cold, and he immediately turned around and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Qing Chi heard a faint call, which sounded like a child's voice, "You...... Who is it? ”
Where is the sound coming from? Qing Chi looked around, his eyes locked on the pile of wood. Something seemed wrong with the neatly arranged wood. The bottom was arched, and there was debris next to the pile of lumber, and it seemed that a hole had been dug underneath, just enough to hide a man. Qing Chi walked over slowly and squatted in front: "I'm not a bad person, what's going on here?" Why are all these people frozen? ”
A small hand slowly stretched out from under the pile of lumber. A thinly dressed little boy with a small yellow milk dog in his arms crawled out. Ji An looked at Qing Chi with a somewhat timid look, "Are you here to help me?" ”
Qing Chi nodded, trying to soothe him in a soft voice. A hint of pride crossed Gian's eyes, and then he said in a very pitiful voice, "It was the necromancer who did it!" He used a frost spell to take everyone's souls, and everyone's souls were frozen. You look like a strong adventurer, can you help me destroy those necromancers? They will use the souls of these living men to drive their necromantic minions! ”
"Where are these necromancers?" Qing Chi asked. Gian gestured to the distance, "Not far from here there is a ruined monastery of Bis, where they gathered. There are often terrifying noises coming from there. ”
Ji An slowly approached Qing Chi, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and when she stared into the distance, Ji An stretched out a hand, and the hand that exuded a cold cold air slowly approached Qing Chi's back.
Qing Chi suddenly flashed sideways, and the next moment, he had already set up the elf bow and shot an arrow towards Ji An without hesitation. A look of annoyance and surprise appeared on Ji'an's face, and he slowly turned into a cloud of gray light and disappeared.
Qing Chi breathed a sigh of relief. As early as when I saw Ji'an, I always felt that something was wrong. These people are all frozen, why is there only one child left? And it was so cold outside, and the child was so thinly dressed, and his face was so ruddy, and the village was made of bearskin curtains, so you can know that there will be no shortage of clothes. Since being reborn, Qingchi has developed the habit of not trusting others easily, and has become accustomed to paying attention to some details in his first life. "Destiny" strives for the real world, and the details in it cannot be done without common sense.
On Qing Chi's quest bar, an exploration quest suddenly appeared: Explore the secrets of the Bith Monastery. It seems that the necromancer does exist, and the quest has given the coordinate points. Qing Chi searched the house in the village, unceremoniously took some cheese and honey wine, and also found a map of the northern continent. Add the map to your own map, and soon, the northern continent on the map will be clearly visible.
Qing Chi summoned out the dark clouds, mounted his horse, and began to head towards the northern monastery. Once you pass through the village, you can see some dense coniferous forests. A frozen, snow-soaked river flows through the taiga, and on the other side of the river is the greystone monastery of Biss where it sits.
Qing Chi put on a witch mask. This place is relatively close to the nearest Stormwind City, so in order to avoid players from the northern continent from appearing, Qing Chi tried to pick a remote path to walk. It's not Qingchi's style to don't do tasks when encountered, and besides, this kind of triggered task, I don't know when it will appear next time.
Just as Qing Chi was galloping, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves followed from behind. Qing Chi looked back and saw that the black-clothed player in front of him was riding a horse with a blood-red name on his head, and there were several people chasing him behind. Qing Chi looked at the sky speechlessly, and sighed for the first time that his luck was not good. That big red name that turned black is still an assassin, and the northern continent is notorious, except for the night owl of the Red King, who else can there be? I didn't expect to be able to run into him like this! Fortunately, now that he has hidden his name and his face has been changed by the witch mask, he should not be able to recognize himself. Qing Chi thought about it and decided to turn around and take a long detour to the monastery again.
