Crackling.

This is...... The sound of a flame burning.

He's ...... Dreaming.

Floating in the icy water, in the vague memory in his mind, Helian Yan saw a fire.

"That's right."

The firelight left reddish traces, it was the first night they spent in the forest, and the boy and girl were relatively silent. And just when the flames were about to burn out, he was sitting by the fire and looked up at the girl opposite, "I have already said that my name is Helian Yan, so what is your name?" ”

Since it is a stand-in for the princess, it is naturally impossible to have the surname Ying.

"I'm ......," the girl sitting across from him smiled, "My name is Sumire." ”

"You southerners like to name these flowers," he remembers dismissing, "but you're not as delicate as flowers." ”

……

……

My name is Sumire.

The girl's laughing voice rang in her ears, and the young man opened his eyes in a vague dream, only to feel a chill in his lower body, and Helian Yan looked at it and found that he had been washed to the shore by the water again.

Helian Yan sat up, looked at the ice ballast attached to his body, and gradually recalled the scene before he fell into the water.

He was chased by the giant saber-toothed tiger all the way to the end of the woods, where he saw a large frozen lake. It seemed that he had fallen into the glacial lake and had been washed into the stream that he had seen earlier.

Helian Yan raised his head and saw that the saber-toothed tiger was standing on the opposite shore of the ice lake, but he didn't know what he was afraid of, he circled by the ice lake, but he didn't dare to jump into it, and finally flicked his tail and left unwillingly.

He looked down at the glacial lake not far away and the stream below him, was there anything in this lake?

But as he looked around, Helian Yan's pupils shrank.

Above the lake, a trail of blood floated, and two snakes lifted a slender figure from the depths of the frozen lake.

Looking at the snake shadow, he had goosebumps all over his body, but the next moment Helian Yan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he got up and left the stream expressionlessly, broke through the ice, and swam towards the figure.

Approaching the two familiar snakes and the pale girl on the snake's body, he floated stiffly in the icy water.

"Dead?" He said coldly, "Since you're dead, don't catch it, it's not bad to be buried by a water lawmaker." ”

However, the two snakes glanced at him, and the next moment their long bodies disappeared into the depths of the frozen lake.

"Hey!" Seeing the girl's figure sink to the bottom of the lake again, Helian Yan frowned and stretched out his hand and grabbed one of her hands.

The next moment he stiffened, quietly looking at his hand, and felt that it was better to cut it off.

However, the next moment, his subordinates heard a pulse beating.

It was faint, but it was alive, one after another, gradually coinciding with his pulse.

Helian Yan looked fixedly at the pale girl floating in the water. She was weak and had thin wrists like a newborn calf, but even then she was alive.

Weakness and tenacity, two diametrically opposed traits merge in her.

Her hand was cold, it was the same hand that had just pushed him off the tree.

Helian Yan looked coldly at the girl who was soaked in the water. The next moment he pulled her behind him and slowly swam towards the stream before her.

With a bang, Helian Yan crawled out of the lake with the woman on his back, looking at the dark forest, his eyes were slightly condensed.

He hadn't killed this woman before, but it was actually because as a cultivator, he had a weakness that he couldn't talk to others.

He doesn't have much sense of direction.

But at this time, the woman on his back had fallen into a coma, and he couldn't use it as a compass, feeling the temperature of the person on his body getting lower and lower, and the young man's eyes were slightly condensed.

The next moment he took a deep breath and carried the man on his back along the stream step by step towards the depths of the forest.

……

……

Helian Yan walked forward step by step, only to feel that the person on his body was getting heavier and heavier.

Although he hated the woman, he knew very well that it was not that she was getting heavier and heavier, but that his injuries were getting worse.

He could actually hear his own gasp, which made the depths of the young man's green eyes rise with extremely complicated emotions.

He had been through life and death countless times in his life, but after ascending to the Divine Dance Realm, it was the first time he had fallen into such an embarrassing situation. Ironically, all of this is due to the man on his back.

He didn't know what was going on in his head, maybe he didn't think about anything, and in the silence of the night, he carried the girl on his back and walked forward with one foot at a time.

The fog in front of me was getting thicker and thicker, and the stream seemed to grow endlessly.

There was no one around, and it was extremely quiet, and with the sound of his footsteps, Helian Yan could clearly hear the sound of beads of sweat falling on the dead leaves under his feet.

And as he walked deeper, even the sounds of birds and insects disappeared, and he seemed to carry this girl into a different world step by step.

Walking forward step by step, Helian Yan's eyes became solemn, because as he walked forward, the temperature of the surrounding air also dropped sharply.

He suddenly understood the reason for the appearance of the large ice lake just now, and also understood why the saber-toothed tiger that appeared in the Yunling Snow Mountain also appeared here. The temperature in this area was obviously much lower than the edge of the Cloud Forest, and even without a sense of direction, Helian Yan could realize that he was stepping into the deepest part of this hidden place.

In the deepest part, what's there?

No matter what he was hiding, feeling the body temperature on his body getting lower and lower, Helian Yan's expression became more and more severe. If this continues, the two of them will freeze to death here.

His feet were as heavy as lead, but Helian Yan still maintained the posture of carrying his back and walked forward step by step.

It was probably a path he would never forget in his life, and he didn't know where he was going, maybe he was waiting for the man on his back to stop breathing.

However, the breath kept ringing softly in his ears, the only sound in the darkness.

He heard someone whispering in his sleep, "Master, I'm back......"

Helian Yan stopped, carried the person on his back, and continued to walk forward.

The temperature of the person on his body was getting colder and colder, and the young man's pupils were getting darker and darker, and just when he thought that the breath in his ears was going to disappear in the next second, a beam of light suddenly shot in front of his eyes.

Helian Yan raised his head and looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened in astonishment.

He didn't expect that at the end of the stream, a bridge actually appeared.

The bridge deck has been completely covered with moss, almost blending in with the forest, but deep in the moss, you can still see the background color of the stone slabs, and even a few wisps of sword marks can be seen in some places.

It looks shabby, but it's undoubtedly man's hand.

How could such a man-made thing exist in the depths of such a primeval forest?

Helian Yan couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and stepped onto the stone bridge step by step, walking towards the other end of the bridge shrouded in clouds and mist.

At the end of the stone steps, the fog gradually dissipated, and a path appeared, with towering trees on both sides, and the winding path led to a secluded path.

At the end of the trail is a giant tree hugging four people.

Walking to the tree with the girl on his back, Helian Yan raised his head, looked at the scene in front of him and was speechless, he couldn't believe his eyes.

He raised his head and looked at the end of the road, and there was a small courtyard with blue tiles and white walls.
