Ah Candle was not at ease, and glanced back at Xia Xiao, although he couldn't see clearly, but seeing that he was still there, he was at ease. Xia Xiao wanted to smile at Ah Candle, but the muscles in his face could not move.

Compared to previous years, this is probably the most difficult time for Ah Candle. Every night, she would fall asleep with Xia Xiao in her arms. Every dirt slope and under the tree is their small bed, and this kind of life of sleeping in the open is obviously not what Xia Xiao wants to give her. But now Xia Xiao only has guilt, and there is nothing superfluous to do. He even began to regret that it was better to go into the darkness by himself, that woman would never die without help, and he would not have to make Ah Candle suffer with him.

At that time, the wandering career that flashed through his mind really began, Xia Xiao felt a little distressed about Ah Candle, and his dark hand held the new bracer on his wrist, wanting to reassure him, but soon, in Xia Xiao's blurred vision, Ah Candle ran towards this side with a bowl of water. She was already very tired on her face, but she often had a hint of a smile, as if she could survive even the most difficult days, so that before Xia Xiao could drink water, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

Xia Xiao is now in a better state than before, she can hear Ah Candle's words clearly, and she can see her face clearly. Ah Candle stretched out his hands and handed out the bowl, while Xia Xiao stretched out his hands to hold her face, wanting to apologize and express his gratitude, but his extremely red eyes and pale look were extremely affectionate because of his tears.

"I'm sorry. ”

Xia Xiao muttered, even though the voice was soft, Ah Candle still heard it. The latter's expression was even more complicated than Xia Xiao's, she wanted to ask a lot of things, and she also wanted to make things difficult for Xia Xiao, or bully him, let him take care of himself, and be an uncle who commanded him. But none of this was a top priority, so Ah Candle just picked up the bowl and brought it to Xia Xiao's mouth.

"Drink. ”

Xia Xiao opened his mouth and drank the extremely cold water into his abdomen, and the feeling of ice teeth at the beginning gradually became a request, so he took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Perhaps stimulated by the cold, Xia Xiao's spirit was much better, and he didn't have time to wipe the water off the corner of his mouth, and the child who poked out his head at the head of the village had already made Ah Candle help Xia Xiao up.

"We need to get out of here. ”

Ah Candle is extremely cautious, she wasn't like this before, but now Xia Xiao's state is not good, she must learn to think about it, and she must also learn to grow up.

Under the tree at the head of the village, there is a smooth white porcelain bowl. It was quickly picked up by a few children, who looked to the west, where the two figures were almost gone, but they tilted their heads and ignored them.

There are always some remote villages that are not moved by foreign affairs, and even the change of dynasty of the Golong Bang clan has nothing to do with them, they have always been self-sufficient. But in this place, there will always be people from the academy, but they don't know how fast or slow, and the news will always reach their ears.

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle supported each other, and their walking speed was much faster. Ah Candle was too tired, her snort was extremely chaotic, Xia Xiao's reaction was slightly sluggish, and she was too tired to walk when she sensed it.

"Take a break. ”

"No need. ”

Ah Candle wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to move forward, only by letting Xia Xiao take the lead in recovering his strength, their future road would be better. So they faced the snow-capped mountains that were getting closer and closer, and kept moving towards it, taking the initiative to meet it step by step.

The tall snow-capped mountains are solemn and mysterious, and have an indescribable holiness. Under it, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were like two mourning dogs, shivering from the cold, and there was no vitality in their bodies to warm themselves, but each other's body temperature still made them stand at the foot of the mountain and look up in all directions.

In the vast ice and snow, there seems to be no Tianchi. Xia Xiao stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at it for a long time, would it be at the top of the mountain? Such a steep mountain, it was a little difficult for him and the current Ah Candle to climb up.

"Absorb the vitality for a while, and then take a whale up to have a look?"

Xia Xiao asked Ah Candle's opinion, but the latter shook his head and walked straight to the high mountain cliff that was as straight as a knife. There was a lot of snow on it, and it was extremely heavy, and if it caused an avalanche, he and Ah Candle would be in danger. But Ah Candle has his own thoughts, stretching out his little hand to probe in the air.

"The woman said that it is enough to go all the way to the west, we have never deviated, and Tianchi should not be on the mountain. If nothing else, there should be an entrance. ”

"What else does she say?"

"It's gone. ”

Ah Candle probed for a long time, but there was nothing, and the palm of his hand was placed on the snow, causing a part of it to collapse. Xia Xiao felt that she had changed, becoming more attentive and more stable than before. This is not Xia Xiao's hallucination, Ah Candle has indeed changed, in the past few cold nights, she knows that Xia Xiao must recover quickly, and she knows how to hide when she sees the shadow of the academy person. But the cliff in front of you, why hasn't there been any change at all?

"Strange ......"

Ah Candle turned his head and beckoned:

"You try. ”

Xia Xiao followed his orders, only then did he see that his hands were black, and he didn't know if it was dirt or the so-called darkness and demonic energy. But when his palm touched the ice cliff, it did ripple, like a curtain that hid something invisible. It is camouflaged with ice and snow, and there is no flaw.

Glancing at each other, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle went in hand in hand, their eyes were suddenly illuminated by a strange luster, and this entrance was also covered by countless snow and ice that fell. A few traces disappeared into the ice and snow, and the cold also buried the smell of Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, and then a wind lifted snowflakes and filled in the few footprints left by Xia Xiao.

When the last snowflake fell in front of the curtain that stopped rippling, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle also adapted to the dreamy light in their eyes, and looked at the world in the blue-purple crystal light.

The world behind the curtain was a cave, not huge, for the top could be seen, and on it hung many stalactites and crystals, and the two sides of the ground that looked like mirrors. It's just that there is a pool of water in the cave that is not deep, which the walls of the cave above the head do not have.

Xia Xiao's gaze fell from the top of the cave to the deepest part of the cave, where there seemed to be no mystery, and all the secrets were hidden in this pool.

Compared to the blue-purple light, the neatness of this place surprised Xia Xiao. It's strange that this kind of damp place doesn't attract poisonous insects and snakes. However, the Tianchi that can hide the eyes of the people of the world has the ability to reach the sky, how can it let anything or a few insects break in? That would inevitably make the style of this place too low.

This cave was far less wide than the location of the Earth King's Palace, which gave Xia Xiao and Ah Candle a sense of security, causing them to put down their knives and backpacks and rest on the relatively smooth and clean cave walls. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's not clean, Xia Xiao is now a dirty thing for many people to avoid, only Ah Candle is still holding his arm, which seems to be connected with him and inseparable.

The two leaned together, and they couldn't say a word when they were tired, and they couldn't even make a few jokes when they left the Devil's Prairie, so they looked ahead in a daze. They went on like this for a long time, and then when they got tired, they boldly slept in the bright light, and this place was like a safe house, so that they could sleep peacefully without the wind and sun.

There was no movement at all, it was no longer quiet, because there was no wind at all. Xia Xiao and Ah Candle got the time to rest that they didn't have during this time, and put everything behind. Recovering some strength first and saving your life is the most important thing!

When the two of them had slept enough and still snuggled together, Xia Xiao said softly:

"Good work. ”

"I slept so dizzy. ”

Ah Candle stretched a huge waist, then squeezed his fist, put it on Xia Xiao's face, and pushed it away. This is their usual playful action, Xia Xiao fell to the side very cooperatively, and then supported himself to stand up, and pulled up Ah Candle.

There was no obvious change of day and night, and perhaps outsiders were wondering where they had gone, but they only circled around it a few times, and finally walked towards the pool that leaned towards the interior of the cave. Standing beside it, looking at the extremely clear water, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle couldn't help but admire, but the words they said were a little rude.

"This is the Tianchi in her mouth?"

"Listen to your tone of voice a little dissatisfied?"

This charming female voice was obviously not made by Ah Candle, but by the woman. She didn't know where she was, but the voice suddenly appeared around Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, making them vigilant back to back.

"You're still alive?"

Such actions and questions made the woman a little disdainful, and her words were full of contempt.

"You think I'm going to die?"

"Senior Sister and all the strong people from all walks of life didn't kill you, it's amazing. ”

"But I think it's easy to kill you. ”

"I know you won't be at the moment, but I'm not going to go straight to the same place where you wanted to. ”

"It's a long road, you can walk on your own for a while. ”

"Get rid of the stuff in my head!"

What Xia Xiao said was what entered his body in that battle, and he only realized it later, as well as those images from before. Now that he was sane, he never wanted to see those things again, including the good!

"It's been cleared for you a long time ago, and it's also a future companion anyway. ”

"Not necessarily!"

"You'll always come, and as for this place, you can rest assured that no one will find it. ”

"And what about you? Where are you?"

"I'm in every dark corner of the world, but it won't appear in your field of vision, so go for it, the answers you want to know, only I have them!"

"I'll go to the south of the South China Sea by myself!"

"Whatever you want. ”

The woman said it easily, and she didn't say goodbye, and her voice disappeared in a hurry, but Xia Xiao frowned, swallowed a few saliva to moisten her hot and sore throat, and then looked at Ah Candle beside her. She should have had a lot of questions, including her plans and what to do in the future, but she just looked at him quietly, and looked at him a little embarrassed after a long time.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing to ask?"

Ah Candle shook his head, and nodded again after a while.

"Hurry up and regain your strength, and then let's go around the darkness together, and then go back to the academy when we find the answer you want. ”

"I'm a little unaccustomed to you being so nice all of a sudden. ”

"This girl has always been like this, but don't forget to promise me something. ”

Xia Xiao nodded subconsciously, but forgot what he promised Ah Candle, is it okay with Shangshan anymore, or must he be good to her in the future? Xia Xiao didn't know, but it was obviously not good to say it now, the girl would be angry because the man told a lie, and she wouldn't necessarily be happy to tell the truth.
