The Ice Rose has crystalline blue petals in full bloom, the stamens shimmer with white light, the stems are straight and covered with small thorns, and two water-like leaves extend from the buds. At first glance, he would think that it was an ice flower, but when Zheng Dong got closer, he felt that this flower was alive, because there were fallen petals and leaves on the ground under the flower.

"Chopping the waves, is it dangerous?" Zheng Dong asked.

Like a girl in a blue dress on a snowy field, Ice Rose walks barefoot on the ice, chasing snow hare or reindeer, and when she finally loses her target, she stamps her feet in frustration, then turns around and stumbles upon the boy who is secretly watching her. She was stunned for a moment, and a flash of crimson flashed across her pretty face. The young man scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up his courage, and a few rapid leaps, and his vigorous body crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, and landed firmly in front of the girl.

The girl didn't speak, she looked at the young man, her eyes were tender and shy, and asked, "Brother Sharo, when will you marry me?" ”

The young man was silent for a moment, then puffed up his chest and said affirmatively: "The day Yunshan returns is the time when you and I get married. ”

That year, the young man's eyes were full of confidence and longing. That year, the girl felt that she was the darling of God, and other people's child marriages were regrets, but her own was a good fate.

An ice and snow rose bloomed in the vast snowfield.

"Our wedding will be held at the altar of the village, and Yunshan will witness it for us." Before leaving, the young man said to the girl, "I want to invite the brothers of Yunshan to come down and cheer, so that you can be the happiest bride of Yunshan Xing." ”

The girl stood obediently in front of the young man, how much she wanted to throw herself into her lover's arms, but Yunshan Xing's customs did not allow it, she looked at the young man intelligently, and said silently in her heart: "My wedding, you are enough." ”

When Zheng Dong suddenly came to his senses, Chopping Lang was issuing a hurried alarm to him: "There is an unknown dark energy source approaching at a rapid pace!" Hey, what's wrong with you? You're not going to enter the border again, are you?! ”

Zheng Dong stabilized his mind, he glanced at the ice and snow rose under his feet, and knew that there was a touching story hidden there.

"What dark energy source?" He asked.

"I don't know, it's out of my range, or it's blocked." Chopping Lang said solemnly, "There are still thirty seconds to come, I don't know if the other party has the ability to counter the space, so I suggest you escape immediately." ”

"Okay, slip!" Zheng Dong fled decisively, and without hesitation, he used a wormhole shuttle and disappeared in place.

More than twenty seconds later, a tall figure with black robe and cloud pattern fell on the altar, and it could be seen that the figure was a young man, with a long figure and a face hidden under the head curtain. He stood where Zheng Dong had just disappeared, and stood wordless for a while, as if he was tracking Zheng Dong's escape route, but to no avail. Then, he squatted down, looked at the ice and snow rose, and muttered, "It's open again...... I haven't been back for a few years......"

The black-robed young man stretched out his hand and gently plucked the ice and snow roses, his hands were white and flawless, like the most beautiful white jade in the world. He took the Ice Rose in his arms, turned around, and took a step.

In an instant, he appeared in front of those people from Yunshan Gate, who had already died for thousands of years, but still maintained their former appearance.

The black-robed young man blew a few breaths on the snow-covered parts of several people's bodies, and the snow fell one after another.

After cleaning up these people, the black-robed young man turned to the others.

He swept the snow off everyone in the village, and finally appeared in front of the old man at the exit of the village.

The old man kept smiling, and even though it hung on the corpse, there was still a slight feeling of warmth.

The young man knelt down, buried his body in the snow, and respectfully kowtowed three heads, each of which went deep into the snow, smashing a concave mark in the thousand-year-old frozen soil beneath the snow.

"Dad, there is still one last rose left, and I can save Sherman." The young man said, "Then I want the dragon to atone for my sins." ”

Somewhere in the clouds and mountains.

Zheng Dong flew in another wasteland, during which he discovered three other villages, all of which had altars, and the people in the village were all in an instantaneous state of death at absolute zero, maintaining the posture of life. The people of this planet seem to live in the agricultural era, but what crops can be grown in the agricultural era on such an ice and snow planet?

"Zheng Dong," said Chopping Lang, "I noticed the altars of the three villages, and there were no roses. ”

"Hmm." Zheng Dong nodded, "What's wrong?" ”

"But there are remnants of rhizomes." "I also probed the structure under the altar, which is a multi-type shaped energy system, and the growth of that ice rose requires a huge amount of energy, which may come from solar energy, geothermal energy, etc., but most likely geothermal energy. ”

"Geothermal energy, doesn't that require volcanic magmatic activity?"

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking about." "I'm already probing the ground beneath your feet, and the information is gathering. ”

"What is that mysterious dark energy source you are talking about?"

"It's not clear for the time being, but there is no doubt that there are terrible things on this planet, and for the unknown, retreat for the time being."

Flying, Zheng Dong suddenly saw a red light on the horizon in the distance. He sped and flew over.

The earth at the red light was slightly warped, and Zheng Dong saw a huge crack that was dozens of meters wide and stretched to the end of heaven and earth.

He stood on the edge of the crack and looked down.

A river of magma is flowing slowly.

The surface of a lava river, only three meters above the ground.

"Is the rock formation here so thin?" Zheng Dong muttered.

"More than that," the voice of the chopping waves sounded, "from the point where you landed here after you escaped from the first village, there are more than 50,000 meters along the way, and there are rock formations ten to one hundred meters thick, the rock formations are extremely insulating, but underneath them, there is hot magma. ”

"The crust of this planet is too thin, isn't it?"

"It's not that the earth's crust is too thin, it's a recent phenomenon, what contributed to this." Chopping Waves said.

"In the near future?"

"More than a thousand years ago."

Zheng Dong was stunned.

More than a thousand years ago, it was the time when the Ice Dragon descended on the Yunshan Galaxy.

He seemed to understand that everything was dead and silent at absolute zero, but in the era of agricultural reclamation, there was constant ice and snow, and the earth's crust was extremely weak.

There is no doubt about the catastrophe brought about by the Ice Dragon.

It plunged the planet into an ice age.

"Not quite right," Zheng Dong frowned, "The low temperature caused by absolute zero can only last for a short time, but the advent of the Ice Age has indeed lasted for a thousand years. ”

Chopping Lang and Zheng Dong both pondered for a while, and Chopping Lang suddenly said, "It's the track!" Planetary orbits! ”

"As I told you earlier, the orbit of Yunshan Star is elliptical, there is a aphelion, and when the planet is at aphelion, it enters the Xiaoice period. Before the arrival of the Ice Dragon, the planet may have had distinct seasons, but the arrival of the Ice Dragon caused some kind of catastrophe that deflected the planet's orbit, and eventually, even at perihelion, most of the world was below freezing, except for the equatorial region. At the same time, the change in the planet's orbit triggers a series of crustal movements, creating ultra-thin rock formations beneath your feet. ”

Zheng Dong nodded and said with a smile: "Chopping waves is worthy of chopping waves." ”

"That's, I'm a god-level intelligence." Chopping the waves said.

"This planet is the headquarters of Yunshanmen, let's look for Yunshanmen." Zheng Dong looked at the vast snowfield and suggested, "Maybe there is some clue on the mountain gate." ”

"Be careful, that unknown source of dark energy is extremely powerful," said Chopping Waves, "and the enemy in the shadows is the most terrifying." ”

"Okay." Zheng Dong nodded. For some reason, he always felt that the Ice Rose must have some connection with an unknown source of dark energy.

After flying for more than an hour, a huge black mountain range towering into the sky appeared in Zheng Dong's sight.

The mountains resemble sleeping beasts, with snow-capped peaks, black rocks halfway up the mountain, and an icy lake lying at the foot of the mountain. It was recognizable as a lake because there was a large lake that was not frozen and was steaming outward, resembling a hot spring, probably some very thin rock formation, under which magma flowed and transferred heat.

The outline of the lake is obvious, it is a natural semicircle, and there are several three-story pavilions buried by snow on the shore.

Zheng Dong quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain and looked up.

The mountain range is about 45 degrees elevated, and the rock wall is rarely sunken, not because the mountain has just risen, but because the fragile rock has been stripped away by tens of millions of years of ice erosion, leaving behind a naturally extremely hard mountain rock.

Shaking flew along the lake, swept away the heavy snow, and walked up to the third floor of a pavilion.

On the third floor, there is a stone table buried by ice and snow, and when it is cleared, three fixed stone benches can be seen, a round stone table supported by an elliptical column, and an unfinished ancient chess game is placed on the table.

Zheng Dong didn't know this kind of chess, and after looking at it for a while, he noticed that there was a teacup on each side of the stone table, and the tea had already frozen.

Perhaps a thousand years ago, two old men played chess here, and when disaster struck, they stepped forward and flew into the clouds to fight the ice dragon, or they sensed the danger in advance and fled.

Zheng Dong looked around the pavilion, the four supporting pillars painted the rise of the Yunshan Gate, on one of the pillars, Zheng Dong saw a scene of a giant fighting with a lizard creature, there is no doubt that it was himself fighting with the red flame creature in the Yunshan Administrative Region.

Walking down the pavilion, Zheng Dong looked for a way up the mountain.

Without much effort, he found it, because by two markers.

Two corpses dressed in moire black robes. They stood on either side of a staircase buried in ice and snow, their expressions solemn and resolute.

Zheng Dong looked at the two of them for a long time, got up, and walked towards the mountain. With each step he walked, all the snow on the steps melted, and the snow pooled into a stream that flowed down, and soon froze into ice.

On the top of Cloud Mountain, the black-robed young man looked at Zheng Dong silently, and he sat on a raised rock. The rock is called the Eagle Leaping Rock, which is used to exercise the flying ability of the disciples of the sect, and the disciples who have taken the raptor gene will grow a pair of wings that can be contracted on the back, but the docking of the nervous system is not perfect, and the master needs to master it through practice.

When Yunshan Gate was still there, how many disciples jumped down from here, some people succeeded, soaring for nine days, some people failed, among those who failed, some people's injuries could be cured, and then practiced, some people landed on their heads, and there was no way to heal, and they passed away.

When Zheng Dong walked halfway up the steps, five thousand meters above sea level, the black-robed young man suddenly smelled something, he looked at Tianyu, and the ice dragon broke through the clouds and came straight to the Yunshan Gate.

The black-robed young man didn't move, his eyes were cold, he took out the ice and snow rose and kissed it, and a pair of angelic white feather wings popped out from behind his back.

He stomped on the ground and stormed up.

The Ice Dragon roared angrily, and the gray light emitted from its body, and it swooped down on the black-robed youth.
