"Around the time you were mentioning, I went out to look for dry moss, and I went too far and I didn't come back before dark, but as soon as I reached the ravine not far from the village, I saw a group of bosses in the ravine passing underneath. Oops! That's a big team! I've never seen so many people in my life! ”

Hearing the old pole say this, An Xiaoyu and Fei Rong both glanced at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After discovering that the Far North garrison had left and the base had fallen, they finally found news about the teams that had left.

However, the march of a team of two million people is not such a simple matter, you must know that the supplies that everyone can carry are generally no more than ten days, even if the empire's high energy bar technology is high, it cannot allow one person to bring enough food to eat for more than ten days.

Now that ten days have passed, two million people are in the far north, where they have gone, and what they rely on to live, this is what worries An Xiaoyu and them. As for the comfort of these people, they will not be wiped out so quickly.

"Uncle Pole, do you remember where those people passed through that valley and where they went?" An Xiaoyu asked.

The old pole couldn't help but look at Fei Rong, and Fei Rong hurriedly said: "This, the commander of the Eastern Wilderness Army, is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Lance in rank, just say whatever you want." ”

"Oh! Oh! The old pole still didn't believe that a little girl like An Xiaoyu could become the commander of the army, but Fei Rong asked him to say casually, so he said: "You also know that valley, it is more than twenty miles west from our village. ”

Fei Rong nodded: "Looks like we're going to have to take a look." ”

An Xiaoyu also nodded, the place that the old pole said was exactly the place they had avoided in order to avoid encountering a strong wind and avalanche, and the valley over there was very deep, and it was as long as a river. However, the peaks on both sides are very steep, and even in normal times, no one wants to march over them.

So why did the Northern Gun advance with two million people from that place? And if you think about it, they must have brought a large number of armored troops and supplies, not to mention that it was two million people, even if it was silent, the footsteps generated when passing through must be endless.

Looking for death? An Xiaoyu was puzzled.

But under such conditions, it is still unrealistic to look for clues, they can only repair here today, so that all the soldiers can rest well. And then tomorrow they will go and see, and follow the exit of that valley.

After eating, Fei Rong wrapped his sleeping bag around the hearth and went to sleep.

The old pole saw An Xiaoyu sitting cross-legged on the ground, and he had to prepare a futon for An Xiaoyu, but An Xiaoyu politely refused, so the old pole looked at An Xiaoyu's eyes more and more strange. On the contrary, it was the ten-year-old grandson of the old pole, who had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Meditating in the corner of the room at night, An Xiaoyu entered the avenue space, feeling the penetration of the three-element force, if it weren't for the rush of these days, and then entering the extreme north, any power began to feel weak, I'm afraid she would have touched the Dao Pass by now.

In this place in the extreme north, perhaps due to the control of the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps because of geomagnetism, the entire space, whether it is the laws of the Heavenly Dao or the laws of the Great Dao, has become very difficult, and even the light curtain in the Great Dao space has become much dimmer.

Walking on the avenue, An Xiaoyu's footsteps became very slow, but she was not in a hurry. After experiencing the last Daoguan, An Xiaoyu began to know that when her Daoguan was emotionally stable, she would basically not encounter the problem of the relationship again.

So what kind of things will appear in the next pass? An Xiaoyu herself can't say for sure, it is very difficult to see a person's heart, especially to see his own heart, it will become extremely difficult. Daoguan is the embodiment of a person's state of mind, and An Xiaoyu instinctively began to wander a little.

The next morning, An Xiaoyu opened her eyes and saw the little boy of the old pole's family squatting in front of her, staring at her with a pair of big eyes.

As soon as the old pole entered the door, he saw this scene, and suddenly became angry, reached out and picked up the little grandson with the neck collar of the padded jacket, and said hatefully: "I told you eight hundred times, but you still don't have a long memory, what are you doing with it?" Is old always something you can offend? ”

An Xiaoyu saw that there were no tears in the child's eyes, but there was some naughty cunning, it seemed that this bear child was used to being beaten, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Pole, forget it!" Children are curious, it's nothing, and it's not that I can't look at it. ”

Only then did the old pole stuff the little grandson behind his back and said, "Boss, you have to bear more, the children who grew up in broken places have no knowledge." ”

An Xiaoyu waved his hand: "I also came out of the Eastern Wilderness, let's half a catty, we are all the same people, don't be so polite." ”

You're welcome? The old pole laughed and trembled in horror.

He hadn't reacted before going to bed last night, and when he lay down and closed his eyes, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. I don't eat dinner, I don't sleep under a quilt, I wear a thin layer on my body, I just sit there and sit there for the night, isn't this a cultivator?

It's no wonder that the old pole didn't react, it's really because there are too few cultivators in the extreme north. Especially in this part of their periphery, the appearance of cultivators is even rarer, for fear of being discovered by the Far North garrison.

Now that I think An Xiaoyu is a cultivator, how can the old pole be disrespectful? His ancestors have been cultivators for nine generations, and after he first came here, he was a cultivator who lived like a dog and could not eat or drink in this place in the extreme north, and they were all immortals in the legend!

Now that a living immortal has appeared in his home, the old pole has only come back to his senses, no wonder people can become the commander of the Eastern Wilderness Army at a young age, and he is at the same level as the commander and boss, it turns out that he is a terrible person!

So in the morning, the old pole had to ask An Xiaoyu to accept the package of dried fruits he sent, saying that it was a vitamin supplement.

An Xiaoyu couldn't excuse herself, she left this existence in a daze, and rushed towards the valley to the west with Fei Rong's company, still a little unclear: "Why did this old pole suddenly become enthusiastic?" ”

Fei Rong had been watching the excitement from the side, and he didn't say anything when he saw it, and when he saw An Xiaoyu wondering, he laughed out loud, and when he told the situation, An Xiaoyu suddenly laughed. But after laughing, An Xiaoyu still thought about it and said, "Since there is a legend, then it means that there are really cultivators who can be like me, how did they do it?" ”

"Could it be the same three-element force as you?" Fei Rong guessed.

An Xiaoyu smiled contemptuously, and Fei Rong immediately understood: "Okay, okay, you old cow, I shouldn't say such things." ”

"The three-element force is not something that ordinary people can control, in fact, you may not be able to understand it, but I can tell you that if you want to control the three-element force, unless you want to die." An Xiaoyu said, "This three-element force between heaven and earth is poison for other cultivators. ”

"Okay." Fei Rong said that he did not understand the affairs of the cultivation world.

"If there really is a cultivator who can restore his strength, and if he can achieve the existence of me, which can rely on energy without eating, drinking, or sleeping, at least he must have more than 90 percent control over the law. Although this is also difficult, it is still ...... compared to the ternary force."

"Here it is." They walked westward, against the northwest wind, and walked for about an hour and twenty miles, when they saw the valleys that emerged from the cracks of the towering mountains in front of them. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is a valley than a canyon.

The valley is long, and the peaks on both sides are very high, but when the peaks reach the top, they spread outward, forming a slope of almost 30 degrees. This slope stretched far away, and after An Xiaoyu climbed up, she found that they had climbed so high.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the valley, I have an intuitive feeling of the height here.

The whole valley is horseshoe-shaped, steep from top to bottom, and then suddenly flattening, and is a very good place to march and camp if you remove the snow from the peaks on both sides. Because there is really not much wind in it, the wind is blocked out.

However, strong winds and snow are different, no matter which way the wind is blowing, the snow on either side of the mountain peaks on either side can be avalanche, flooding the people in the valley, and it is absolutely very difficult to escape from this place.

From the very bottom of the valley to both sides, except for a gentle arc, all that remained were more than eighty degrees to steep cliffs, and the cliffs were relatively flat, with little shelter, and few large stones to withstand the avalanche.

And once an avalanche happens, it's a ripple effect.

After a long period of accumulation, the snow on the top of the mountain is basically in a delicate equilibrium, the compaction force and gravity are deadlocked with each other, and the snow on the main mountain is one after another, as long as the balance is broken in one place, the avalanche will quickly spread to the main mountain range and the entire valley.

An Xiaoyu was a little incredulous: "Will the North Gun really go from here?" Holy! ”

Fei Rong also said with a wry smile: "This is a typical glacial valley, a ravines filed out from the rock skeleton of the continent like a file when the glacier moved many years ago, and the peaks on both sides are also protrusions squeezed out when the glacier moved, which can be regarded as a typical geographical research example of the extreme north." ”

"If the Northern Gun really wants to venture through here, I'm afraid the reason why the Far North garrison left the station is not simple." An Xiaoyu guessed: "The Northern Gun didn't even notify the imperial capital before leaving, and even passed through here when leaving, what happened in the extreme north?" ”

"But from what the old pole said, there seems to be nothing else unusual about the large number of troops that have passed through here recently. What could have made the commander-in-chief of the Northern Lance lose his mind and march from here with two million men? Can't ordinary people find out? Fei Rong was also puzzled.

An Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "It's useless to think more, you guys wait here, I'll go down and take a look, if there is an avalanche, I can run away." ”

"Okay!" Fei Rong was not pretentious, but set up the sentry, and then watched An Xiaoyu slide down the hillside.

The power of the sea of stars appeared on the soles of his feet, and the eternal attribute made An Xiaoyu's feet extremely hard. Sliding towards the bottom of the hillside, occasionally stepping over a raised rock or two, An Xiaoyu gradually felt what it was like to be on Toad Mountain.

She has never forgotten the little game of walking on the steep mountain wall that Bei Huang taught her, but she rarely had the opportunity to practice it when she was in the imperial capital. Encountering such an environment, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and walked towards the foot of the mountain step by step.

It may have been a little jerky at first, but gradually, An Xiaoyu's control of physical strength gradually became familiar, and the strength model that she had simulated in her mind countless times began to be put into practice, allowing her to walk on the steep and smooth mountain wall.

It didn't take long for An Xiaoyu to reach the bottom of the valley, and she only felt hearty.

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, An Xiaoyu walked in the valley and looked carefully. To be honest, the valley is really big, and you can imagine how the glacier moved back then, cutting a hole in the first huge rock section little by little.

Suddenly, An Xiaoyu squatted down, touched the snow on the ground with his hand, and then raised his hand to blow away the snow on the ground, and under the half-foot-thick snow, there was a hard snow shell. An Xiaoyu knows that in such a place, the snow is often layered.

About half a foot of snow, it seems that it must have been left behind a few days ago, and the old pole once said that the reason why he would hurry up to look for dry moss ten days ago was because he foresaw that there might be a heavy snow before the fall of the autumnal equinox.

Sure enough, just five days ago, when An Xiaoyu and the others had just come to the extreme north, a heavy snow fell on the extreme north. They didn't feel it on the other side of the mountain, but the heavy snow did cover a wide area near the village.

The snow shell under this snow cover should be left before this heavy snowfall, and under the action of sunlight, gravity and wind, the snow hardens, producing such a snow shell, which has a certain hardness. An Xiaoyu controlled the strength, used the palm wind to blow away a large area of snow, and examined it carefully.

"Smack!"

A crisp gunshot came from the top of the mountain, although it didn't travel far before it was muffled by the strong wind, but An Xiaoyu in the valley still heard the gunshot clearly. Looking at the place where Fei Rong and they were staying, An Xiaoyu flashed and appeared on the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, in the far north, her near-teleportation speed began to be limited, and even the seven-in-one began to lose its harmony.

When she came to the top of the mountain, An Xiaoyu saw the thing that had fallen into the snow.

"I told you the no shots, no shots! What was your first time on a mission? Yes? Can you afford to take responsibility for something happening? Even if you can afford to take responsibility, do you bear the consequences of the incident? Criticism! ”

Fei Rong gave a harsh lecture to a soldier whose muzzle was still hot, and the soldier lowered his eyebrows.

An Xiaoyu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Fei Rong turned the light in his hand to the corpse on the ground, which was pitch black, and thick black hair covered its body. The thing looks like an ape, and the lower body looks like a tanuki, with a long tail, and the color of the fur on its face has changed slightly, forming a pattern similar to a mocking expression.

"What disgusting thing?" When she saw that face, An Xiaoyu was a little frightened for no reason.

There are really not many things in this world that can make An Xiaoyu frightened, and most of them are things above the level of the law. But this animal, that face is really blessed, as if Heavenly Dao deliberately designed a disgusting person, and his heart was furious after seeing it.

Fei Rong said: "The people in the extreme north of this thing are called Fuli, and there is no orthodox name until now, this kind of face is indeed ...... It is also one of the creatures that haunts the polar night, can walk on two legs, and often disguises itself as an adult to approach villages or crowds, and then sneak up on and eat people. ”

An Xiaoyu listened to Fei Rong's words, and made up for it in his mind, this pitch-black guy stood up with the hind legs of two raccoon cats, and the front legs hung down on both sides of his body, and he quietly approached the crowd with this weird but very human-like hairy face, which was a little creepy.

Think about it, in the darkness of the polar night, you can't see clearly, walking, talking and hurrying, and you don't notice it silently, there is already a figure around you that is not a person, and this figure will crack sharp teeth at any time, and a bite will be on your throat.

An Xiaoyu couldn't help but shudder.

Fei Rong said: "But fortunately, most of the felines live alone, so when you meet a Fuli, it's actually very simple, don't be mixed in by him, slaughter things with a knife, its combat effectiveness is not very high, and two people can be subdued." But this kid ......"

The reprimanded soldier was staggered by the wind, but he still insisted on standing up and accepting the criticism.

"Who told you to shoot?"

An Xiaoyu suddenly laughed, but heard the soldier say: "But what I saw was not Fuli, I saw another thing, it was very fast, I shot first and then prepared to warn for the sake of safety, but then I found that this thing became Fuli." ”

"Could it be that you still see a mirage? Lao Tzu's mother is from the Eastern Wilderness! You tell me about a mirage? Fei Rong laughed angrily.

An Xiaoyu said, "Did you really see something else?" ”

The soldier said aggrievedly: "Really, you see that this one is only five meters away from the place of death, although I am not a sharpshooter, but I am also a garrison in the far north." If it's the speed of the escalator, I can make sure to kill it within fifteen meters of sight. ”

When Fei Rong heard this, he also began to be suspicious, walked to Fuli's side, checked the footprints behind Fuli, shook his head and said: "There are indeed only footprints of Fuli, and there is no trace of fast running, and they are quietly approaching us according to the convention." ”

An Xiaoyu's face suddenly became serious: "You first listen to what I found below, and it seems that there is still some connection with this incident just now." ”
