Chapter 71: First Encounter with the Snow Maiden
"Eh, have you heard? Dead last night! It's the palace! The whole family, young and old, died, not even the baby who was a few months old......"
"That's too bad! Who did it? ”
Passers-by on the street began to whisper, and they couldn't help but sigh for the unfortunate death of hundreds of lives in the palace.
"That's their own fault." At the same time, a man in a blue cloak held up a teacup and said that he disagreed with what they were saying.
"What do you mean? Everyone is feeling sorry for the people in the palace, could it be that you killed the people last night? One of them was unconvinced, and stood up directly to find the man in the blue cloak to theorize.
"If I killed you, you can try!"
They felt the resentment of the man in the blue cloak from hell and was inexplicably afraid.
"Right...... I'm sorry. Their bodies trembled constantly, as if their limbs could not move, presumably by this man.
The man in the blue cloak left the restaurant after putting down the gold coins on the table, and when he walked out of the door, he took out his pocket watch, and the photo on it was actually Lin's photo.
"Arin, I'm back."
hospital
Seven o'clock in the morning
"Lin Jiuqing, are you ready?" Duanmu Xuan looked at Lin Jiuqing carrying a huge backpack, and the things in it were all prepared to protect against the cold when going up the mountain.
"Well, I'm ready!" Lin Jiuqing said with high morale that she was ready for an adventure.
"Lin Jiuqing, wait a minute!" Lin hurried to the gate of the hospital.
"Big brother, you said yesterday that you had something for me, what was it?" Lin Jiuqing has been thinking about it since last night, but he doesn't know what it is after thinking about it for a long time.
"This thing is for you, you can open it when necessary." Lin took out a bag from his waist bag.
"What is this?" Lin Jiuqing took it and put it in his pocket, "It doesn't matter what is in it, you can't open it until it is in a pinch." Lin instructed.
"Okay, I got it! I will definitely come over as soon as possible~" Lin Jiuqing's smile was very sweet.
"Anyway, don't you really need a few of us to go together?" Duanmu Xuan was a little uneasy, so he said that Ling Huheng had been informed not to draw Lin Jiuqing in the next few days.
Lin expressed great opposition to this, "No, the Snow Girl of the Wind hates a lot of people, and it is better to be alone, otherwise the Snow Girl will mistakenly think that you intend to harm her, so she will attack you." ”
At the same time, the arena
Ling Huheng was still organizing the competition, and the matter of the blazing phoenix had to make her heart ache; I said that I only went to see it at night, but now that I think about it, I can't avoid being sad and sad.
Ling Huheng: "I didn't expect that something like that happened yesterday, because all the members of the Feihe team should be banned, but all the people in the palace died yesterday, as well as Wang Kaifeng, I hope no one will make the same mistake again!" It will be severely punished! In order to ensure the safety of the qualifiers, we have decided to take two to three rounds a day, so please watch the big screen. ”
"Referee, wait a minute, don't you think it's strange about the big screen?" Sima Wen stood up directly, and walked directly to the stage regardless of Ling Huheng's considerations.
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Hu Heng also felt strange, he was the first to ask questions in this year's competition, but the big screen ...... Yesterday, when Blazing Phoenix fought Dongfang Yue, there was indeed a big problem.
"I saw someone do something to the big screen yesterday, and as a referee, you didn't notice that, so it's a dereliction of duty." Unexpectedly, Sima Wen actually acted in front of so many people to order Hu Heng, which made everyone fall into an uproar.
At this moment, Ling Huheng thought to himself: "Although that person caused other people to be injured to varying degrees yesterday, the strange thing is that it was not fatal, since this person named Sima Wen questioned himself face to face, he had to answer positively." ”
"I really didn't pay attention to what you said, and thanks to your eye disease, since the big screen was manipulated, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, then I won't play today, and I will continue tomorrow! Please leave first. ”
"The Sima Wen I know is not nosy." Zhong Liche had heard of Sima Wen for a long time, although he was very strong, he would not care about the life or death of others.
Sima Wen sneered after listening to Zhong Liche's words: "I'm just for the fairness of everyone present, and for me, it doesn't matter if the opponent is strong or weak, if you have to care, you should owe me a favor." ”
At this time, Sima Wen couldn't help frowning, yes, when did he become such a mother-in-law, he is obviously just someone else's life and death has nothing to do with it, is it because of that little girl? No, it won't, maybe it's a kind of will to admire the opponent!
A moment later, the snow-capped mountains
The temperature is now minus three degrees
At such a temperature, normal people can survive, Lin Jiuqing prepared thick clothes, oxygen cylinders and goggles early when he was about to climb the mountain, but he never expected that this day would be so cold, which was in stark contrast to May.
"Whew~"
There was a chill in front of her, a cold wind, blowing her face like a knife, and the snow had covered half of her body, so that she couldn't walk now, she could only walk forward step by step.
But so what? This did not hinder her from saving her friends, in several battles, Blazing Phoenix always thought of herself first, and since Blazing Phoenix could fight for herself, then she could too.
It would be good if everything really went so well, but the sky didn't care about people's wishes, and at the peak of the peak, a huge snowball suddenly rolled and smashed towards Lin Jiuqing.
"This sucks!" Climbing the mountain is already difficult, not to mention the snow that has spread to her body, which makes it even more difficult for her to move around, no, she has to find a way.
Lin Jiuqing tried her best to move her pace, watching the snowball get closer and closer to her, she couldn't help but be a little flustered, she kept telling herself that the more she couldn't panic when she encountered danger, and if she panicked, she would lose everything.
"No, you have to hurry up......" Lin Jiuqing was full of wind and frost, I don't know if this wind and snow was intentional or unintentional, and it blew on Lin Jiuqing even more wantonly, which undoubtedly made it even more difficult for Lin Jiuqing, who was already difficult to move.
"Hmm!" The soles of Lin Jiuqing's feet slipped, and she couldn't help but fall a few steps back, finally, she saw hope, she saw that there was a huge rock a few meters away from her, hiding behind it, maybe there was a glimmer of hope.
It would have been nice to see it earlier, but the wind and snow covered a large area, so she had to take a few steps to sweep the snow off her goggles.
She seized this opportunity, directly took out the lasso and hit the rock and swung quickly, she did not dare to look back, because she was afraid of heights, but for the sake of the blazing phoenix, she had to climb the cliff again.
Seeing the snowball passing over her head, Lin Jiuqing tightly grasped the rope in her hand, this rope was her last hope, and she resolutely couldn't let go at this time.
The snow seemed to have suddenly become smaller, and Lin Jiuqing's face was unconsciously filled with a smile as he continued to move forward.
It's minus 20 degrees Celsius
Lin Jiuqing climbed a third of the way, and the more the snow hit the summit, although the snow here did not cover half of his body, but it also reached the position of his knees.
experienced storms of varying severity, as well as avalanches; It made Lin Jiuqing's body even more tired, she even had some tiredness, but she had survived all of this, and no matter how hard and tired she was, she had to persevere.
"Whew, it's so cold......" Lin Jiuqing couldn't help but sigh, she felt that the more she went to the back, the more difficult it was to breathe, although she had prepared enough oxygen.
"Whew~" The harsh wind kept blowing in his ears, and the chill had made Lin Jiuqing gradually lose consciousness, as if his legs were not his own.
"It's cold...... Jiuqing, you have to hold on, Sister Blazing Phoenix is still waiting for you......" Lin Jiuqing kept comforting herself, at her current speed, a distance of only one meter in a few minutes, mainly because the wind and snow were already big, plus the snow and slippery and snowstorm, she had to let her advance and retreat, retreat and get closer.
The temperature is minus 30 degrees, and it has now reached halfway up the mountain;
Although it is said that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is in the position of the cliff, it is not the peak, with such bad weather, how can it be seen up close.
Lin Jiuqing thought like this, and unwillingly continued to climb to the top and throw his flying tiger claws, the current mountain is getting steeper and steeper, and the road is getting more and more difficult to walk.
In a period of more than ten hours, Lin Jiuqing saw a white and beautiful Tianshan Snow Lotus within a range of more than ten meters.
"That's ...... Saussurea? That's great! Lin Jiuqing seemed to see hope, and walked forward quickly and with difficulty, just a few meters away from it, a magical voice with a cold and solemn voice: "Who broke into my forbidden land!" ”
"That's ...... Wind Snow Girl! ”
