"Leave this old man alone, he's too cumbersome, we should be able to go faster!" Diao Wu'an said angrily, and the moon was about to rise to the zenith at this time.

"Where can we go quickly without him?" Xiao Fengnian said, the scene just now made him feel uncomfortable with a strong sense of justice, "Anyway, he is a local, even if he is a madman, he always knows more than us, right?"

Diao Wu'an snorted in his nose and disdained to answer.

Suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps in the depths of the woods, as if there were dozens of people in leather boots, not very neat, not messy.

A few of them stopped beside an old pine tree full of nodules and listened.

"Don't go over! Don't go over! Run away! Run away!" The old man suddenly shouted in a daze, Xiao Fengnian hurriedly covered his mouth and said softly: "Don't scream, there are people around!"

"What do we do now?" asked Ling'er.

"Why be afraid of people, aren't we just trying to find people?" said Shira.

Xia Xian stared into the distance, with a thoughtful look on his face, gusts of cold wind resounded through the forest, and the hem of his coat shook like life in the wind, "Something is wrong, these footsteps seem to come from soldiers, their shoes are similar to the iron hoof leather boots of our county soldiers, and they seem to be heavier." It's getting late now, and I don't know who they are, so be careful!"

The sound of the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the footsteps of soldiers were not terrible sounds on their own, but in the depths of the dark forest of this night, the eerie atmosphere was mixed together, and the horror was extremely strong.

"The sound of these footsteps is really strange, just walking in the dense forest ahead, not approaching or far. Bingruo muttered as he looked into the distance.

As they walked on, the sound of footsteps in the thick trees grew louder and louder, and a thin layer of snow gradually appeared on the otherwise dry ground, which was so wet and muddy that it was easy to slip and stumble, and the stones and hidden roots could stumble.

Bai Ming and Diao Wu'an used their weapons to cut off the bifurcated branches that obstructed their vision in front to open the way, and the others supported each other and walked cautiously.

They walked through the bushes to an open field, where the moonlight shone on the embers of the campfire, the snow-covered rocks, the half-frozen streams, and all the footsteps disappeared in an instant, and their hearts seemed to stop beating.

There was even a camp here.

"The Fire King is here!...... Help! The Fire King is here...... Kill him, kill him," the old man began to talk wildly again. They had heard of the term Fire King before, which was the name of Yan Hong'er by Hua Liuli on Shenmu Island, but they didn't know if the Fire King in the old man's mouth was Yan Hong'er, and even if it was, the Fire King who made him fear to the point had died in the undersea passage.

"Old man, don't shout, there is no Fire King here, don't bring any more beasts here......" Bingruo said in an anxious whisper, "Wait, someone is watching us!"

Everyone stopped all their movements when they heard this, they knew that Bingruo had been hunting in the forest since he was a child, and he was extremely sensitive to all kinds of wind and grass.

After a while, nothing unusual happened, Diao Wu'an glanced at the empty flat ground and smiled: "What's the fuss, it's the stars watching us." ”

Bing Ruo didn't believe that it was her own delusion, she clearly felt a strange gaze shooting at the few of them from nowhere, and this feeling has not dissipated until now.

The cold wind grew stronger, like a knife cut, and Bingruo turned around without a word, walked to a tall and straight pine tree next to it and began to climb up, and soon disappeared into the boundless pine needles. Her hands were full of tree sap, and the fear in her heart could not be suppressed, but the movements of her hands and feet were controlled fairly well by the reason of her brain.

Xia Xian's shout came from below, "Liang Bing, if you are careful, don't be afraid, I will catch you......"

Xia Xian was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Bingruo to be able to climb such a high tree with no grip in the second half, he wanted to go up together, but it was estimated that he didn't have the ability to climb the tree, and the branches in the high places didn't know if they could support him as a big man, so he stayed under the tree, thinking that if Bing accidentally fell, he could catch it quickly.

Bingruo listened intently in the treetops and observed carefully, but there were also many leafy trees below that blocked her vision, and it was really difficult to see clearly, so she couldn't help but raise her voice and asked, "Who are you?"

The answer of the jungle is obvious: rustling leaves, babbling and pulsating streams, the occasional owl leaping by......

The previous masters with footsteps and strange eyes quietly appeared.

Bingruo watched the tall figures in silver and white armor pass through the woods, because it was a bird's-eye angle, and it was night, she couldn't see the expressions of those soldiers clearly, but the posture and rhythm of their walking were very weird, reminiscent of the zombies in the book, but they were not so stiff, it was indeed a strange and strange army.

The branches throbbed slightly in the wind, stretching out their wooden fingers to entangle each other, Bingruo wanted to open his mouth to warn Xia Xian and the others under the tree, but the words froze in his throat.

There was no need to warn, for the white-armored soldiers were already close at hand, surrounded on all sides by the people under the trees......

They also saw strange soldiers approaching from all sides, Bai Ming slowly turned in a circle with a sword, Diao Wu'an held a long knife high and guarded the door, Ling'er already held several flying knives in his hands, and Xia Xian and Xiao Fengnian, who had no weapons, had to clench their fists and stare at the crowd around them with their eyes like torches.

The old man screamed and rushed at the soldiers, this time no one stopped him, they could no longer take care of the madman. After the old man rushed to the ranks of soldiers, the soldiers let him push and crowd as if they didn't see him, and finally the old man rushed out of the ranks and disappeared into the woods.

Bingruo suddenly had a very bad premonition, a chill hit her heart, she trembled and clung to the branches, her cheeks pressed against the bark, and the sticky sweet sap flowed onto her little face.

A shadow came out of the White Armor Corps and stood straight in front of Xia Xian.

He seemed to be the leader of this group of soldiers, Xia Xian stared at him, but seeing that he was tall, but he was haggard and resolute like dry bones, and his skin was pale and white, which contrasted with the armor he wore as white as fresh snow, which was even more strange.

The other five people found that Xia Xian had become the focus of attention of the strange people on this snowy mist and ice field again, but this time there were too many opponents, and they were definitely outnumbered, so they didn't dare to provoke these soldiers rashly.

As the white-armored leader approached step by step, Xia Xian gasped, "Don't come here!" Xia Xian warned the other party, although his voice sounded fearless, his eyes had already glanced at Bai Ming beside him. Bai Ming understood, and threw the long sword in his hand to Xia Xian.

The hem of Xia Xian's clothes trembled slightly, he held the sword in both hands and was ready to go, the wind had stopped, and it was cold to the bone......
