June here is a turning season, the height of summer has passed, and the temperature is gradually dropping, which also means that the year is halfway over.

But this place is different from more places in Jiuyan, it is located in the northernmost and easternmost place in the entire Jiuyan, and further north, the extreme north is not far away, and to the east, is the snow-shrouded Zhangbai Mountain Range.

Xianchi County, a small county town close to the Zhangbai Mountains, is hundreds of thousands of miles north of the Wren Capital.

It is rumored that there are nineteen peaks in Zhangbai Mountain, in fact, it is far more than that, nineteen peaks are its largest representative peaks, and in Xianchi County, you can even see more than half of the nineteen peaks with the naked eye, if the climate is better, it is really a good place to spend your days.

When the southern regions of Rongzhou, Yuzhou, and Yizhou are in the hot summer, the temperature in Xianchi County, which is leaning on the mountains, is only 20 degrees, which is very cool! It is worth mentioning that Xianchi County is the closest place to Zhangbaishan Volcanic Tianchi, and it is also said that the name of Xianchi County comes from this.

It is such a place, it should be a tourist attraction, but due to the abnormal weather at the beginning of this year, the continuous fall of strange snow not only made the temperature in Xianchi County drop to the lowest in a century, but also the terrible erosion cold took away the vitality of Xianchi County in winter, and all the living beings around it ushered in a crisis, and countless people died in the disaster......

Since then, the surviving residents of Xianchi County have moved south, leaving the small county town of bitter cold, and only a few people in Xianchi County stick to their family business, and Xingrong no longer exists.

In the east of the county seat, in a tavern with only a handful of diners, several guests who are familiar with each other are having an "interesting" conversation.

"Gollum...... Tut! ”

Sitting with his back against the window of the tavern, Zhang Er swallowed half of the liquor in the cup, felt the hot breath of wine rushing up from his stomach, smacked his tongue with satisfaction, put down the wine glass, and said to Li Da and Wang San on the left and right sides of the table: "Have you ever heard that our Xianchi County has been a little unpeaceful recently."

There were not many customers in the tavern, and even the waiter brother was playing with his half-broken mobile phone at the cash register, of course, the situation on the street outside was similar, this was the current situation in Xianchi County, and the very few people who were unwilling to move away supported the operation of the county.

Li Da was a little older, and his eyes were a little cloudy, he glanced at the window behind Zhang Er, and asked casually, "What else is not peaceful?" The whole city has become empty, ruined, and worse? ”

On the other side, Wang San smiled bitterly, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said: "But no, at the beginning of the year, the 'snow disease' spread, taking away at least three percent of the people, what a terrible number is this?" Even the natural disaster of twenty years ago did not cause such panic, what could be worse than war? ”

"Huh? That's not what I said, who doesn't want to maintain peace these days, but Jiuyan has been turbulent in the past six months, and it's not us ordinary people who are afraid? Some time ago, there was a crazy group of demons dancing in the southwest, and many cities were tragically destroyed, and there were many witnesses! It is also said that the heavy snow at the beginning of the year is also the evil of the monster. Zhang Er explained.

Li Da, who was the most dismissive of these "gossip" news, had a different opinion, shook his head and said: "I guess it is out of nowhere, how can there be so many monsters?" Otherwise, wouldn't the world have been in chaos for a long time? Probably some new scam. ”

"No, no, no!"

Zhang Er waved his palm, and said to Li Da with a strange smile: "Don't believe it, although I haven't seen monsters with my own eyes, everyone is on guard, if it is a rumor, it can't be that thousands of Jiuyan people are stupid, right?" Just the day before yesterday, it is said that Zhao Xiaowu in the east of the county saw a strange thing in the direction of Tianchi, you know, a terrible strange thing! ”

"Really?" Wang San asked suspiciously.

"Cut!" Compared with Wang Sanlai, Li Da was obviously more sensible, and smiled contemptuously, "How can you trust it?" Zhao Xiaowu is a gangster, who believes his nonsense? ”

With a weird smile, Zhang Er said: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, the whole Jiuyan people are panicked, who dares to say that the world is peaceful?" In my opinion, the world is not far from chaos now, and maybe the monsters with teeth and claws will appear in front of us in front of us in the next moment. ”

"You just mess around, even if Xianchi County has been gloomy recently, but it's just bad weather, and it's too outrageous to have something to do with monsters!"

Li Da slowly filled the wine glass for the "drinking friend" next to him, casually glanced out the window, and continued: "Spreading rumors is against the rules, no matter how mysterious you are, you can't catch anyone and say it's a monster, right?" Well, for example, the one outside, although he is dressed strangely, he is still human. ”

Following Li Da's line of sight, Zhang Er and Wang San also looked over, and on the quiet streets of Xianchi County, a figure walked unhurriedly.

Medium height, covered in a pitch-black cloak and covered with a wide hood, the man's clothing style is dark, and his face is mostly obscured, so it is impossible to tell who he is.

It was like a serious topic ushering in a relaxed ending, Zhang Er also felt that he was too chattering, watching the black-clothed guests on the street outside walk away, and then turned around and had a drink with the other two.

In the final analysis, people who lack aura can't see the world clearly, and can only guess the truth based on personal imagination, so who knows if Xianchi County is still a peaceful place.

Night is gradually falling, the originally gray Xianchi County is even more desolate, although there are many residences, the lights are sporadic and the county is a little weird everywhere.

The black-clothed man seemed to have come from afar, and he didn't know much about the situation in Xianchi County, and wondering about the strange atmosphere here, he raised his head and looked around at everything.

"Demonic spirit? No, not that simple question. ”

The breeze blew the black-clad man's cloak and his hood agitated, making his face appear in a flash......

Pale skin, soft black hair covering ears, this man's face was full of strange and penetrating patterns, as if painted with green ink.

Not only that, but the most terrifying thing was this person's eyes, a strange blue light flashed from his eyes, like demonic eyes!

After escaping from the Landao mainland to the south, Xiao Mozhu crossed the extreme southern ice sea, and finally returned to the Eastern Ancient Continent and returned to Jiuyan.

This kind of action was not deliberate on his part, he originally just wanted to avoid Xiaoice and a few people, but he didn't expect to return to the land of Jiuyan in a daze, and he also came to this place he had never been to in his memory.

The strange environment of Xianchi County made Xiao Mozhu wake up suddenly, and he was also curious, but he could only choose to wait and see what strange things would happen in this unpopular place.
