Chapter 0216 - The Only Possibility
After breaking away from contact with Jia Gang, Zhou Qingfeng even left Ye Dashao's group behind. He realized that he could only work as a coolie with those treasure hunters, and that he might as well figure out something on his own. He spread out the map of the onitsuka given by Batu, barely making out where he was now.
"The Ice Phoenix has opened up more than a dozen areas on the first layer of the Ghost Mound, and she has channeled the biting cold air of the Frozen Plain around, and now all the monks in the Ghost Mound who came to hunt for treasures are standing opposite her." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the map and pondered carefully. "I'm really not sure what kind of temper the ice phoenix is."
To get to the second floor of the ghost mound, you have to pass through a ghost gate guarded by a ghost king, and to get to the ghost gate, you have to go from the Thousand Corpses Cave to the end. But now the Thousand Corpses Cave has become a frozen cave, and all the ghosts in the cave have turned into ice ghosts. Zhou Qingfeng was also not sure what situation he would encounter if he went all the way like this.
The roads in the cave were full of clattering ice ghosts, although it was not difficult for Zhou Qingfeng to cut down these ghosts, but after he cut down dozens of them, there were still a kind of annoyance - there were thousands of reverents who could transfer their wish power for transformation at any time, and the supply of spiritual power was not a big problem. But after a long time like this, Zhou Qingfeng will also be tired.
Several ice edges shattered on the ground, and the remains of an ice ghost were scattered on the ground. Zhou Qingfeng rode the wolf and looked down a few times, and a wolf cub scavenged a jewel-like Xiaoice crystal from the shattered ice cube. This is a product of the Frozen Plains, which can be used to attach ice armor at one time when held in the hand. He'd already picked up three or four of them.
Putting away the cold ice crystals that were planed out, Zhou Qingfeng also had a headache when he looked at the deep cave road. It's hard to walk with a map in this hellish place, there are too many forks in the road, and many places are not marked at all. He was looking down at the map when suddenly 'dog meat' barked a few times.
Zhou Qingfeng was still a little puzzled by this shout, but the four wolf cubs ran over and rummaged through his pockets. Soon a small branch was found. This is a tree branch that he got from the Jiang family brothers a few days ago, and after he picked it up, he asked the 'dog meat' in surprise: "Do you smell this?" ”
'Dog meat' barked a few times.
"Where does this smell come from?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. 'Dogmeat' immediately turned around and ran back, and soon entered a fork in the road he had never entered, burrowing into a dark path that sloped downward.
After a period of galloping running, Zhou Qingfeng suddenly entered an underground cave hall. Before he could discern the environment, seven or eight huge ice wolves flashed out between several huge stalactites. These wolves are slightly smaller than 'Dog Meat', but they are far more ferocious and fast than those clumsy ice ghosts.
One of the seven ice wolves was left to attract Zhou Qingfeng's attention, and the other six were outflanked by about a minute. This combat coordination is very familiar, fast and deadly. The four wolf cubs were too small to deal with the encirclement of the Icewolf. Zhou Qingfeng saw that the situation was not good and immediately retreated, he drove the 'dog meat' close to the three ice wolves on the right, raised his hand and used his spiritual power to draw a long whip.
The three ice wolves kicked their legs at the same time and pounced, and the first one happened to be entangled by Zhou Qingfeng's spiritual power whip. But the two horses in the back pulled their forelimbs to the 'dog meat' and Zhou Qingfeng. If it weren't for the fact that 'Dog Meat' and Zhou Qingfeng were wrapped in steel armor, this sharp claw that pounced on them would have been able to hit them hard.
Zhou Qingfeng accelerated his running and shook off the right ice wolf that pounced on him, and at the same time, he swung his spiritual power long whip and pulled the entangled ice wolf to the left. The three wolves on the left also pounced viciously, and their fangs and sharp teeth had already reached Zhou Qingfeng's eyes.
Fluttering a series of impacts, Zhou Qingfeng avoided the first encirclement of the wolves in front of him. But these ice wolves were not discouraged, and soon outflanked Zhou Qingfeng left and right again.
"Dumb, do you treat your friends like this?" Zhou Qingfeng shouted loudly, his voice vibrating back and forth in the underground cave, "If you don't take these wolves back, I'm welcome." ”
Zhou Qingfeng shouted several times in a row, and those wolves pounced on him a few times. He relied on his steel armor to defend himself strongly, and he resisted several attacks from the Icewolf. But the result of his battle was to cut one wolf lame, and the other ice wolves became careful.
After a few rounds of fighting, an uncertain ethereal greeting sounded from the cave, "Are you ......, Zhou boy?" ”
"It's me." Zhou Qingfeng removed the mask on his head, revealing his true face. As a result, several ice wolves immediately pounced on him and wanted to bite his neck, very vindictive.
There was a whistle behind the icefield wolves, and the seven wolves were stunned before they retreated unwillingly. After a while, out of the darkness of the cave came a little man covered in ice flowers, wasn't it the woodland servant named 'Dumb'.
Zhou Qingfeng knew that this little monster was particularly sensitive, he rode a giant wolf and stood ten meters away and asked, "What does the ice phoenix want to do in the ghost mound?" ”
"She wants to take one of the treasures in the ghost mound."
"What baby?"
Dumb hesitated for a moment, but said, "Zhou boy, you better go, I'll let a wolf lead you away from the ghost mound." Don't meddle in the matter of the ice phoenix. ”
Zhou Qingfeng replied angrily: "I actually don't care about that phoenix." I came to Onizuka to save a person named 'Guo Budo' from leaving. Is this guy still alive? ”
"Guo Budo?" Dumb suddenly became angry and said, "What do you have to do with Guo Budo?" ”
"Guo Budo is a backer for me to pull the tiger skin in Fushun. If he dies in the ghost mound, I'll be in big trouble. Zhou Qingfeng probably explained his current situation, and also explained the importance of Guo Budo to him.
But Dumb interrupted angrily: "It's that guy named Guo Budo who is chasing us, and he wants to capture the ice phoenix back as his spiritual pet." This bastard, I wish he was dead. Hurry up, it's not negotiable. I don't embarrass you, but Binghuang knows that you are here for Guo Budo, and she will kill you. ”
"Isn't there any room for negotiation?" Zhou Qingfeng knew that this matter was not as easy as he imagined, he got down from the giant wolf's saddle and walked a few steps closer and said, "I finally saved that phoenix, can you offset this festival?" ”
Dumb shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Binghuang won't intercede with you, according to your human race, she is very cold-blooded." In order to gain her power, the three generations of the masters of Ehe and Kulen imprisoned her for decades, cutting off the possibility of her hatching, and almost leaving her soulless. She hated the Terran monks to death. Now Guo Budo wants to imprison her again, she doesn't trust anyone. ”
Zhou Qingfeng also covered his forehead and shook his head, "This is really fucking fucked." Guo Budo this bastard, where is he now? ”
"On the second floor of the Onizuka. But he didn't feel good, his daughter was controlled by Mang Gurtai, and now he became a dog in the Jianzhou Department. The people of Yehebu are also on the second floor, and they are fighting lively. ”
"It is said that Chu Ying is also in the ghost mound, what is he doing here?"
"The ghost mound and the netherworld, the third layer has a piece of soil left over from ancient times. Chu Ying's body was corrupted into a skeleton during the blood sacrifice, and he wanted to get this piece of rest to reshape his body. The Ice Phoenix currently only has its soul left, and it also needs this piece of rest.
The ice phoenix chased Chu Ying and cursed him to death when he was about to succeed. As a result, Guo Budo ruined Binghuang's good deeds and drove her out of the third layer. Binghuang couldn't deal with Guo Budo, so he cursed his daughter Guo Jiao. Right now, the Jianzhou Department and the Ye He Department are fighting, and the Ice Phoenix now wants to gather the strength of all the ghosts and monks on the first floor to rush in again. ”
What a mess!
Dumb spoke very frankly, and Zhou Qingfeng was speechless. But this strengthened his determination to rescue Guo Budo, no matter what, he couldn't let a ninth-level monk become a lackey of Jiannu. He scratched his head and asked, "Can I meet the ice phoenix?" ”
Dumb shook his head, "You don't understand, Binghuang's heart is really cold now. She only has calculations in her eyes, no feelings. Look at me, I'm the servant of the Ice Phoenix, and I've been running around to save her for nearly a hundred years. But in order to create an army of ice ghosts, she has now turned me into ice. ”
Zhou Qingfeng looked at Dumb's outstretched arm, which was a handful of skinny bones frozen in ice. He sighed and said, "Is there no other way?" Do you want your master to be like this forever?
Or is it that if she turns everyone on the first floor of the ghost mound into ice ghosts, she will be able to defeat those masters on the second floor and get the rest? I don't think so. Since Binghuang only has calculations in his eyes, he should understand that he can't succeed at all. She should have thought of something else. ”
Dumb was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "Binghuang can't listen to it, she can't trust you, she only believes in herself now." Unless you can get it for her, it's useless to say anything. ”
Dumb kept shaking his head, obviously not recognizing his own ideas, and felt that the possibility was too low. But Zhou Qingfeng paced back and forth and said, "It's really possible for me to get the rest of the soil, the key is that I want to enter the second layer of the ghost mound." ”
"What about you going in? Any one of them on the second floor is much stronger than you. Dumb said.
Zhou Qingfeng said very seriously: "Ye Hebu's side, He Zhuo and I have a little affection, maybe I can convince them, at least I can convince He Zhuo." Guo Budo over there, if he can rescue Guo Jiao. I should have been able to convince him to help. Maybe this strength is still a little weaker, but it's better than the ice phoenix fighting hard. ”
"The biggest trouble is that you're too weak." Dumb suddenly interjected and said, "So you have to convince Chu Ying to help you first." ”
Zhou Qingfeng was shocked and asked, "Chu Ying? Didn't you say Chu Ying was dead? ”
"Chu Ying is dead, but his cultivation after many consecutive blood sacrifices is extremely terrifying. In addition, he died in the underworld, not only did his cultivation not dissipate, but also attached to his bones and retained, and his soul was also trapped on the bones and could not be reborn. If you can persuade him to give you strength, you are qualified to unite with others, or to persuade others. Dumb said.
Go fool Chu Ying? Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head and said to himself: "This thing seems to be ......, I fooled him several times." However, Chu Ying's defeat and escape in the end also has a lot to do with me, I wonder if he will bomb me to death as soon as we meet? ”
"Dumb, I have an idea, but I need your help." Zhou Qingfeng deliberated his thoughts repeatedly and asked Dumb for help.
After a long paragraph of words was finished in fragments, Dumb thought about it carefully, "Okay, I can help you with this favor." But I can only help you with this, and I don't care about the rest. ”
Zhou Qingfeng immediately packed the ticket and said: "No problem, no problem, you just need to help me with this, and I will take care of the rest myself." ”
