Chapter 105: Ambush
It's too cold! If it weren't for the fact that he looked down at his feet with every step he took, and used his will and sight to affect his brain, Ma Shuo would have been completely unable to feel the existence of his lower body!
The clouds in the east were torn apart from time to time, and the dappled golden sunlight sprinkled on the silver-clad earth! But as the snow began to sublimate and dissipate little by little, the desert corridor sprinkled with gold and silver became a little colder!
The snow is not cold, the snow is cold!
When this common sense flashed in his mind, Ma Shuo, who was even a little stiff in his thinking, instantly reacted with a spirit!
No matter what the place lies ahead, at least now it looks like there is no snow in the colors!
Otherwise, when the snow stops, you will freeze to death in your current state!
Now that he had made his decision, he immediately changed his previous slow pace, and dug waist-deep snow in front of him with his hands and feet, ignoring his hands that were already feeling hot and itchy this morning!
In this dripping and icy environment, the hands and even the cheeks have the illusion of the complete opposite, which means that the exposed skin has been severely frostbitten!
The thin but bloated figure is in the snow, struggling to move forward like swimming!
Every step seemed so strenuous, so reluctant! But the speed did not slow down at all, and even as the temperature around him became lower and lower, he roared madly and sped up by two points!
The blurred vision caused by the combination of exhaustion and panic can only vaguely distinguish the dark green and hazy line between the white earth and the blue sky!
When his energy and physical strength were about to run out, he finally rushed out of the snow before the snow did not stop, but the sun fully revealed his true body!
"Poof!"
Exhausted, he fell on the grass, gasping for breath so violently that he didn't even bother to move his fingers! Before he fell unconscious, he didn't have any energy to think about why he fell on the grass immediately after stepping out of the snow!
Behind your feet is a meter of snow, and beneath you is an oasis of verdant greenery like a summer garden!
The change in air pressure caused by the sudden drop in temperature caused the snow to finally blow a cold wind!
Frost Snow City is the smallest and least populated city in Northern Sanke! Although it is called a city, it has a habitable population of less than 20,000!
The rest are divided into two types, either speculators who want to get rich overnight but can't go south before the freeze arrives, or death row prisoners in the middle prison of the city!
The old man was right, this is the only place in North Sang that has a night curfew! One of the reasons is indeed because of criminals, and the other is that the night in Frosty Snow City is too cold!
There are only two or three months of "summer" every year, and the rest are all autumn and winter! The coldest three months of winter every year, don't say that the water drips into ice at night, even if you splash out a basin of hot water, it will also turn into ice ballast before it lands!
In the south of the city, outside the frozen earth city wall made of sand and watering, two tall and thin figures in thick winter clothes leaned against the wall and talked!
In the night, you can vaguely see that both of them are wearing fox masks, and they can't see their faces at all! It's just that the long hair hanging down from the side of the face, and the thick winter clothes on the chest can't completely hide the straightness, you can guess that they are two women!
"Sister, there's no information in the database!" said the shorter woman in a lower voice.
Another sister, who was taller and more well-proportioned, looked up at the sky, and the pupils under the mask were like rubies: "I know, if there is no weapon sample library and database, we will leave in a few days!"
My sister was puzzled for a moment: "A strange knife that has never been seen before, a group of mysterious people who are difficult to hunt down and kill a child, is it worth our trouble?"
My sister snorted lightly and shook her head: "It is precisely because the strength of this group of mysterious people is completely disproportional to the results of their work that I doubt their purpose even more!
Turning his head to stare into his sister's eyes: "Wait a few more days, and then go to the south!"
"South?" the sister repeated her sister's words in a low voice, "Sister said that?"
"That's right!" my sister nodded slightly: "Take a few southern missions, just go to investigate this! My intuition tells me that there will definitely be important clues there!"
The two of them are the "mad princess" An Ruihong, and the personal maid Lanier! After they left Eagle City, they also went north along the river, taking the special boat that was indeed their organization's internal purpose!
Driving non-stop all the way, on the contrary, he arrived at Frost Snow City faster than Leon and the others who set off first!
It's just that now in this situation of completely hiding his identity, I am very surprised by the sudden release of the wanted warrant by the eldest prince!
Suddenly, An Ruihong had a hunch that Leon and Ma Shuo might be in trouble! That's why they are now looking for information and waiting for their arrival!
Snow began to fall last night in most of the ferry, tundra and corridor, and the sky here in Frosty Snow City was also full of clouds, but the north wind kept howling, except for being two points colder, it was really as dripping as all the historical documents recorded!
Perhaps only the hundreds of deep wells in the city are the source of life in this wild city!
"Sister, Leon, is it possible that something happened to them!" Lanniel hesitated for a long time before boldly asking, "Under normal circumstances, they should have arrived in Frost Snow City four days ago! ”
An Ruihong sighed, and instantly turned into white mist and drifted away with the wind: "With the ability of Leon and a few people, even if they encounter danger, they can solve it, maybe they are just delayed by this group of mysterious guys!"
Although this may have been just a reassuring word from An Ruihong, Lannier was really relieved by this!
Then, An Ruihong's eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at the southern road, and suddenly there was a bit of chill in his tone: "Someone is coming from the south, let's hide first!"
After that, the two turned around and stepped on the wall and jumped up, supported by one hand and quickly flipped over, like two light and vigorous tanuki, and disappeared in a blink of an eye!
The two didn't go far, they just camouflaged next to a few piles of wooden boxes more than ten meters behind the wall, and then they quietly observed and waited with bated breath!
When the six dark green figures climbed over the earthen wall and stopped, the brows under the masks of the two of them furrowed in unison: "It's them?"
The moment Rodier and the others stopped, a subordinate behind him sniffed his nose covered with a scarf, and said in a low voice: "Rodier, there are people nearby, it's two adult women!"
Rodier rolled his eyes and replied in a normal voice: "It doesn't matter, the task is important, rush in with me!"
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, he took the lead in running to the city, and the others followed! As the footsteps became farther and farther away, An Ruihong and the others lifted their disguises and stood up!
"Sister, how did they know that Ma Shuo was coming to Frost Snow City?" Lannier immediately reacted when she heard Rodier talking to another person!
An Ruihong was also thinking about this question at this time, he knew the royal guards around him very well, and it was impossible for Leon to betray them! So, could it be that he was overheard occasionally?
"This problem will be solved later!" "Look through the empty alley and look at the end of the north: "Follow them first!
Who knew that after chasing less than 100 meters, An Ruihong had just felt the danger, and a gloating schadenfreude laugh came from a corner behind him: "Hey, hey, who are you going to follow?"
