"Where are the mountains but this clearing?"

"The appearance of this open space shows that this place is very special."

Hong Lekang looked left and right, his expression slightly condensed, "If nothing else, the Ice and Fire Lotus will mature tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I suspect that the open space is a trick arranged by the Ice and Fire Lotus." ”

"No one can say for sure whether it's a trick or not, and our methods haven't detected any problems with this clearing, I hope your judgment is correct."

Suddenly, a voice. Insert. Finish. entered, everyone turned their heads to look, and they couldn't help but look respectful.

Intermediate Tasker - Luo Jianxian!

It is said that Luo Jianxian once went to a Xianxia world, where he found a sect that specialized in recruiting sword immortals, and became a disciple in it, and obtained many important inheritances of the sect.

His flying sword technique can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and he is almost invincible among intermediate missionists!

This is enough to rank in the top ten on the list of intermediate taskers, I didn't expect him to appear in this mission world, and I didn't expect Hong Lekang to invite him to come over and pick up the Ice and Fire Lotus.

Hong Lekang glanced at him and said lightly: "As long as you keep your promise, no matter whether things are successful or not, I will send you what you want." ”

Luo Jianxian loosened his shoulders in a dashing manner, "The Ice and Fire Lotus is one of the treasures, but it is useless for me who uses the sword as a means of attack, don't worry, I will not snatch the Ice and Fire Lotus from you."

It's you, if the Ice and Fire Lotus isn't here, you have to give me what I want when the mission is over. ”

Hong Lekang said expressionlessly: "I, Hong someone, is a man of words, and I will naturally give you what I promised you." ”

……

Inside the iceberg, Ouyang Ruyu is here.

The further you go inside, the chill is overwhelming, and even the tree clothes are a little unbearable.

Ouyang Ruyu's hair was covered with fine frost, it wasn't too cold that it caused her hair to freeze.

Instead, she walked, the road in front of the iceberg was blocked, and she used her fists to clear the way, and the frost after the explosion stuck to her hair with the aftermath.

The frost is finely crumbled, sticking to the hair, and it is very troublesome to pick them out one by one by hand, and the quickest way is to use the blood qi on the body to melt the frost from the hair with hot air.

But after melting, the hair will drip and make the shoulders wet, once or twice is fine, if you use it three or four times, won't the whole person become a soup chicken?

Out of consideration for not wanting his body to get wet, Ouyang Ruyu didn't melt the frost on his hair for the time being.

As it turned out, she was right.

The further you go, the more the iceberg gets clogged, and as you walk along the road, you can see a wall of ice in front of you.

If the ice wall was blocked all the way to the top of the mountain, it would be understandable, it was so cold that even the road was iced.

However, the ice wall was only blocked for a few meters, and the road was still unobstructed after the blast.

It looks like a ...... Artificially create obstacles to come out and not let her move forward like that.

The more Ouyang Ruyu climbed up, the more solemn his expression became.

The puppeteer flew past her, and after the aftermath of the explosion, it was no better.

At first glance, it looks like a puppet-shaped Xiaoice stick, the kind with a smooth surface that can reflect light.

The puppeteer said tremblingly: "Master, do you want to keep going, I feel colder and colder." ”

Ouyang Ruyu glanced around, the road on the ground was iced, and the surrounding trees were green from the beginning, and they also began to partially freeze at the back.

Now where they are, all the trees are frozen as a whole, like ice sculptures, lifelike.

"You're right, the farther you go inside, the colder it gets, and the more obstacles we encounter."

Ouyang Ruyu clenched his fists, took a pose and struck another move of the Heavenly White Crane Fist, summoning the White Crane Phantom to attack the ice wall that hindered them in front of them.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and a smile crossed her face.

"But at the same time, I have a hunch that we'll be there soon."

Ouyang Ruyu put the puppet in the palm of his hand and dried the ice cubes on its body with warm true qi, and the heat was directly adjusted to the point where even the water would be evaporated.

After a while, the puppeteer returned to the delicate puppet man he had before, and circled around Ouyang Ruyu in high spirits.

"What the hell is on top of the mountain?"

"I don't know."

"Then master, what are you doing up the mountain?"

"Think for yourself."

"What if you can't think of it?"

"Keep thinking."

……

Standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance, you can feel that the top of the mountain is close in front of you, and you can reach it in an hour.

But if you really keep going up, you will find that the actual arrival time is longer than expected.

It's obviously just such a small road, but it seems that no matter how you go, you can't go to the end, and the obstacles encountered on the road are several times that of before.

I was able to walk forward for a while after breaking through the obstacles, but the more I got to the back, the more obstacles there were, and if I wanted to continue to move forward, I had to keep breaking down the obstacles.

The back was really said by Ouyang Ruyu's crow's mouth, and the last section of the road to the top of the mountain was all sealed by ice.

Finally, Ouyang Ruyu came to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, but what he saw was a lotus flower with dead branches and leaves!

Other than that, there was nothing, the top of the mountain was bare, and when you stood on the edge and looked out, you couldn't see the scene below at all, only the white mist.

Ouyang Ruyu couldn't help but sigh, a little disappointed.

After spending so much effort to climb up, I didn't get anything.

She turned her head to look at the only lotus flower on the top of the mountain, the petals and leaves were all withered, and it stood straight in the middle of the mountaintop.

And this hemp pole is still ice ballast, and the whole body is sealed by ice, and it is too bad to knock it off!

When she went up the mountain, she had seen many of these frozen plants, which were much more beautiful than this wilting lotus.

This lotus flower can't be compared to the genius earth treasure just by looking at the appearance, so Ouyang Ruyu didn't think about it in this regard.

Calculating the time, there was only one day left before the end of the mission, she stretched her waist greatly and said to the puppeteer:

"Let's rest here at night, I thought there was some secret to the iceberg, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, so we were on the road for two days and two nights in a row, and we didn't rest for a moment."

From time to time, the wind blows from the top of the mountain, adding to the chill.

The best place to rest is to go down the mountain to rest, but the ascent is so difficult that even if the descent is smooth, it will take half a day of hard work, and you may run into other quests who come to explore.

Ouyang Ruyu observed the surroundings again, and simply dug a hole on the top of the mountain.

This can not only block the cold wind outside, but also easy to gather warmth, and more importantly, it is not easy to be discovered.

After digging a hole in the ground, Ouyang Ruyu took out a new tree coat from the storage ring, spread a layer on the ground, and took out another one to drape on his body as a quilt.
