3.3 Test of Fire and Ice (2)

"What do you want, Rui Gong? The ice is slippery, you be careful. Husang passed by Rui Geng's side and reminded.

Rui Gong came back to his senses and found that the world ahead of him had been completely occupied by glaciers, two huge and majestic icebergs lined up to the left and right, leading into the distance, and directly in front of the team was the only entrance in front of the iceberg, if it were not for this entrance, they might only have to climb over the towering iceberg to enter.

Beyond the ice valley, an ice field appeared in front of it, and above the ice field, there was only pure and smooth ice as far as the eye could see, except for the abrupt ice peaks. In the gaps where the ice has not condensed together, there is occasionally a touch of blue that is revealed. It turns out that underneath the Muri Glacier is bottomless ice water.

Water and ice are undoubtedly the purest things in the world, and they make up the whole world at this moment. But the glacier was so different from what the teenagers had imagined, they had never seen anything like it. The blue of the water is so pure, the ice edges floating on it are so transparent, and there are many frozen waves, some of which are several meters high, like frozen ukiyo-e prints.

The teenagers walked across the ice, and saw with their own eyes that the sea water around them was swept out of the water by the occasional wind, and then quickly froze into a huge ice sculpture, which was full of natural beauty and made people feel awe of nature.

Here, time seems to be infinitely magnified, not only by the effect of psychology, but also by the extinction of living beings. Even a tree or a grass can bring a sense of life, but this place disappears completely, just like putting people in the wilderness, where there is no place where life is born, which is doubly lonely and desolate.

The teenagers kept following behind Hulan, and even though walking could heat up their bodies, the extremely low temperature here still made them wrap their rat robes tightly.

The group walked for another whole day, until in the evening, they stumbled upon a semi-circular ice cave, and after discussion, they decided to rest in the ice cave before setting off the next day.

The ice cave wasn't huge, but it was big enough for them.

The three teenagers and Husang were crowded in the innermost, and Hulan and Hulan were guarding the door on the left and right.

At this time, the sky is getting darker and darker, the temperature is colder than during the day, and the wind on the ice field is gradually getting stronger, and the wind blows on the raised ice rocks outside the ice cave, constantly making a "hissing" sound.

After entering the cave, the teenagers took off their cloaks and spread them on the ice, and sat on the fur of the rats without feeling cold. Di Qingchuan looked at the bad weather outside and muttered, "Fortunately, there is ...... There are holes, avoid ...... Typhoon shelter. Or really...... Really out there, maybe ......"

"Maybe you've been blown up to the skies." Kitsune quipped.

"Huh? Odd! Hu Lan shrugged his nose and suddenly said loudly.

"What's wrong Dad?" Husang asked curiously, and at the same time sniffed pretending to be there, but he didn't smell anything.

"The ice is supposed to be clean and pure, but there seems to be a hint of a smell in this ice cave that doesn't belong to this place, it seems to be ...... The smell of other spirit animals! "Hulan isn't so sure.

"I can't smell anything, I feel like my nose is freezing." Ke Zhenshi's whole head shrunk into the fur, shivering, and the tip of his nose exposed was red from the cold.

Rui Gong also shook his head, and said suspiciously, "But didn't it say that the living beings in this place are extinct, where did the spirit beast......s come from?"

"You say, could there be any monsters lurking around here?" Ke Zhenshi's eyes burned and said, "Four ears, four eyes, four arms, four legs? ”

"Dad, I seem to smell something unusual!" The fox opened her eyes, her expression was slightly solemn, just now she carefully identified the smell in the air, and even mobilized her spiritual power for this.

"Knock~Knock~"

At this moment, a slow, heavy sound of walking pierced through the roaring wind and clearly reached everyone's ears. At first, it felt like it was still far away, but soon, the ice trembled and it was not far away.

Rui Gong couldn't help but stand up, and Hu Sang and Di Qingchuan also stood up, looking at Hu Lan nervously.

"Daddy?" Fox also looked at Fox Lan and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Don't go out here, I'll take a look." Hu Lan opened his mouth solemnly, and his body suddenly came out of the ice cave, and soon disappeared into the wind.

"This?" Rui Gong scrambled to the mouth of the ice cave, but the roar of a hurricane deterred her.

"Sister, what should we do?" Husang said anxiously.

"Wait!" The fox didn't say much, just got up and stood in front of the ice cave door, staring directly at the dark ice field in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Bang-"

Soon, there was a loud crash on the ice field, and the ice cave trembled, sounding like some kind of creature was fighting.

"Could it be that Dad got into a fight with something?!" Husang was so anxious that he stretched out his head to look out of the ice cave, but there was only a gray patch, and he couldn't see anything.

Just when the atmosphere in the ice cave was solemn, a calm and powerful voice came from outside the cave, "In the Lower Spirit Fox Clan, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" "It turned out to be Hulan.

Hearing these familiar words, the teenagers breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the conversation outside, for fear of missing any details.

"Hmph, my old Ben is the thirteenth of the Niu clan, you are so arrogant, you actually took advantage of my unpreparedness to occupy the nest where I lived, and I will beat you up today." A strange sound of urn gas ensued.

"Knock-knock-"

Several heavy footsteps sounded, and the cavern was shaken, as if something particularly bulky was raising its hooves.

"Wait!" Fox Lan shouted violently.

"What's wrong, aren't you afraid of my old Ben?" Ben Thirteen's thick voice carried some smugness.

Hu Lan said loudly, "The Su Wen Niu clan is a prominent clan on the Kejin Continent, and all of them in the clan are reasonable and good cows, and they never bully the weak, but when I see them today, I think it's just a rumor!" ”

"Moo-" Ben Thirteen yelled, "You little fox, your strength is not bad, why are you so pretentious?" Say! How can I bully you. ”

"How did I, Hulan, know that this hole belongs to your brother Ben! There is only one important thing to cross the Muri Glacier, and the companions are a few little guys with no spiritual power, who are not resistant to cold or frost. It's getting late, and the road is dangerous, so I spend the night in the ice cave, and I have no intention of competing with you. But you're good, no matter what, you're going to beat me! ”

"This, moo-" Ben Thirteen cried out aggrievedly, glaring at the bull's eye and not knowing what to say.

"Well, if Brother Niu doesn't dislike it, it's better to go into the cave with us, and it's warmer to squeeze it, what does Brother Niu think." Hu Lan's voice was smiling, and he was anti-guest.

"Moo-I have rough skin and thick meat, and I'm afraid of hurting a tender baby who has no spiritual power." This time, Ben Thirteen retreated.

"No, no, no, it's fine. My child can't wait to hug your old man's thigh and get a good night's sleep. ”

Fox's wild laughter echoed across the ice field. In the cave, several teenagers looked at each other. With his three-inch incorruptible tongue, this fox Lan resolved a fight, which made them a little admired.

Soon, Ben Thirteen's heavy breathing and heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. Several teenagers hurried to the entrance of the cave and waited. The first to come was Hu Lan, but behind him was a huge buffalo-like creature, the cow was about a foot tall, brown and black, with a pair of sharp opposite horns on the cow's head, and a thick layer of crimson hair on its neck, far longer than the rest of the body.

"Dad, who is this senior?" Kitsune asked knowingly.

"Haha, this is a master of the Niu clan that my father just met, and I hit it off with my father at first sight." Hu Lan blinked.

"The seniors are dignified, and the fox is admired." The fox immediately spoke.

"My predecessor is really a handsome cow, my father is not as good as you." Husang jumped up and laughed.

Hu Lan's face darkened, and he glared at Hu Sang.

Ke Zhenshi immediately ignored the words and laughed; Di Qingchuan stood to the side, a little cringe, peeking at Ben Thirteen from time to time; Rui Gong was cold as ice, and surprisingly calm.

"Moo——, hehe." Ben Thirteen smiled innocently and nodded kindly to the teenagers.

"Brother Ben, hurry up and go inside." Fox Lan beckoned the cow to go inside the cave.

This ice cave is big enough to accommodate such a big cow; It's just that after he came in, the teenagers could only stand against the wall.

"Brother Ben, as far as I know, the Niu Clan has always been active in the cold pole world on the edge of the Frost and Snow Island in the northwest, how did it drip to Muli?"

"Hey, it's not for my baby! The fire spirit in his body is vigorous, but you know, the foundation of our Niu clan is Shuiyuan. Water and fire are incompatible, and there are conflicts and contradictions in his body, causing him to be in extremely poor health, and he doesn't care what medicine he takes, not to mention how bad it is. As soon as he talked about his child, Ben Thirteen sighed, "I heard that there is an extremely rare ice lotus flower on the Muli Glacier, which bears ice lotus seeds once every thousand years, and the fruit is a real fruit in the water, which can vent false fire and strengthen the foundation, so ......"

Husang nodded, "I've seen the name of this Muli Ice Lotus in a book. But it's a rare treasure in the world, and I'm afraid it's not easy to find......"

Ben Thirteen's big hand slammed into the ground, shaking the earth slightly. I saw him say firmly, "No matter what, I have to save my baby!" Be sure to find the Ice Lotus on this ice field! With that, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

Hu Lan saw it in his eyes and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! The little brother shouldn't let Brother Ben mention the sad thing! ”

"It's okay, Brother Fox, I don't know who these little guys are?" Ben Thirteen looked at the three human teenagers and couldn't help but be curious.

"They're Terrans?" Hu Lan pretended to say lightly.

"Terran?" Ben Thirteen was curious, "What kind of clan is that?" ”

"A race that doesn't belong to this world, I don't know." Hu Lan said.

Ben 13 nodded, didn't ask any more, leaned down, the bull's head rested on the ground, and fell asleep after a while. There was a muffled snoring sound coming from the thick bull's nose. I don't know if it's because the body of the big cow is relatively stocky and hot, but after a while, the ice cave is obviously much warmer.

Rui Gong felt that his body was much more alive, but he didn't dare to really fall asleep in this bone-chilling silence, so he wrapped his robe tightly in rat skin and pretended to sleep.

Ke Zhenshi and Di Qingchuan only dared to look at Ben Shisan twice at first, but they quickly turned their eyes away because of its power. Soon, a surging feeling of fatigue hit, and several people fell asleep. Only Hu Lan in the cave still opened his eyes vigilantly from time to time, staring at the entrance of the cave.
