3.3 Test of Fire and Ice (3)
The night passed like this, and when Rui Gong opened her eyes again, it was already dawn the next day. The cave was empty, and there was no figure of Ben Thirteen. Listening to Hu Lan, it turned out that he set off early in the morning to look for medicine.
Rui Gong glanced out of the cave, at this time, the wind on the ice field had been extinguished, and the sky was gradually brightening, but Husang and Ke Zhenshi slept very soundly, and did not seem to wake up.
"Wake up! It's time to go! When the fox beckoned, the two opened their eyes slowly, and stood up from the ground with a sway.
Rui Gong kicked Ke Zhenshi's legs and stomachs, and said in disgust, "How can you sleep so much?" No alertness at all! ”
Ke Zhenshi called out twice and muttered, "Why are you so ruthless in this girl's family, you don't have any self-cultivation at all......"
The cold wind of the early morning blew from outside the cave, and the cold poured into their necks, and it was difficult not to shiver. Then everyone reluctantly cleaned up, wrapped their fur tightly and stepped into the howling cold wind......
Time passes imperceptibly. After encountering Ben Thirteen, they walked on the ice field for two more days, but they never saw any other species, as if they had entered a dead field, with nothing but depression and boredom.
"We need to speed up and get out of the Muri Glacier as soon as possible!" Hulan led the way at the front of the team alone. There was no anxiety on his face, only perseverance and vicissitudes.
"I feel that in this place, I have more energy than at home, and I don't feel so tired easily. Otherwise, the intensity of this walk is really ......," Rui Gong whispered silently. She looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was there, but it was difficult to feel the heat, but her eyes were stimulated by the sun, and she felt a faint pain. She hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the soles of her feet, where there was only white snow, white roads, and white ......
Seeing that the last glacier was in front of them, as long as they crossed it, it would be another world, and the group quickened their pace. Just when everyone thought that they could walk out of the glacier without any danger, the dark clouds in the sky gathered from nowhere, and the originally blue sky was like a cloth splashed with ink in an instant.
I heard a sudden clicking sound on the ice, and a huge monster seemed to wake up under the ice in the distance. Little by little, the ice rose from the ground and rolled towards the place where everyone was located.
Icy water gushed out of the crack, and the waves, which were tens of meters high, rushed straight into the air from the ground, and then slapped straight down. In an instant, the ice was shattered and broken.
Rui Gong looked around, and as far as the eye could see, the raging water continued to rise with the broken ice surface, and slowly joined together in an arc at the highest point, during which the water surface continued to freeze, but it was broken and destroyed by this fierce momentum one after another, so that the tide of water continued to push towards the direction of everyone.
"This ...... It's the Great Ice! Fox Lan was horrified, "Fox, hurry!" Fast! Take the fox and ...... them together."
Hu Lan's voice was drowned out by the sound of ice breaking, and gloomy black waves rushed towards them with countless huge ice blocks. At the same time, when the tide rises and falls, a huge air flow swirls, forming a vacuum, sucking the teenagers to the bottom of the wave.
Rui Geng's eyes widened, she couldn't control her body at this time, she could only be passively swept by the storm, the scenery on both sides was constantly retreating, and she clearly heard the constant sound of rubbing against the ice under her feet.
Seeing that the ice water was pressing, out of instinct, Rui Gong immediately held his breath. "Did you just die?" Lost in her mind, she suddenly felt a furry claw grasp the back of her clothes, and then lifted her, the wind howled in her ears, and she was carried far away.
Rui Gong opened her eyes carefully, she found that she was being caught by Fox Lan at this moment, hanging in the air under her feet, a feeling of escape from death came to her heart, she couldn't help but take a sharp breath, and then took a big breath. She turned her head to look in a panic, only to see that Hu Lan's other hand was not holding Hu Sang, but Di Qingchuan, at this time Di Qingchuan's face was pale, his head drooped, and he must have fainted.
She looked down again, only to see the huge wave crashing below, the original place where everyone was standing had already been destroyed, and the fox behind her grabbed the strange cry of Husang and Ke Zhenshi and flew up in the air, the wave swept away, and the waves kept chasing them.
"Dad, what are we going to do?" Fox Qi shouted from afar, her strength is not as good as Fox Lan, flying in the air with the two of them is not a small burden for her, and there is a possibility of falling at any time at this moment.
"The big ice will pass soon, hold on!" Hu Lan hurriedly replied.
The fox nodded silently, and gave the fox Lan a gesture with his eyes. At this time, she didn't dare to waste the slightest strength, even if she spoke.
"Wow, my feet." Ke Zhenshi shouted in pain, just now, in the short time when the fox was ventilating, he was in a slightly lower position, and he was drenched by the ice water at the top of the wave, and the surface of his skin suddenly formed a thick layer of ice.
Time moved forward very slowly, and just when the fox was about to lose its hold, the waves below gradually subsided. The clicking sound gradually stopped, and the ice field gradually fell silent.
"Whew~, whew~" The fox kept panting, and she fell to the ground quickly, but before she could get close, she completely lost her strength and staggered and fell down.
Fox Sang's eyes were quick, and he immediately jumped from mid-air, and then a tumbling landed steadily, just straightening up to catch his breath.
With a "bang", it was pressed down again.
"Huh, Husang, it's good that you picked it up, otherwise my leg would have to be wasted." Ke Zhenshi panted and got up.
Again. "Bang!"
As if calculated, the fox smashed into Ke Zhenshi's body accurately.
On the other side, Hu Lan also landed with Rui Gong Di Qingchuan.
"Qi'er, Sang'er, are you all right?" Hu Lan said with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that the spiritual power is a little overdrawn." The fox pulled Ke Zhenshi from the ground and smiled at the fox.
"Dad, I'm fine." Fox Mulberry Road.
"It's okay." Hu Lan nodded, and at the same time flipped his palm, patting Di Qingchuan's back heart with a hint of silver light. Di Qingchuan soon woke up.
The crowd adjusted in place for a long time, and finally walked out of the Muri Glacier before nightfall.
"There's quicksand in front of us." Hu Lan turned his head and said.
"Is the quicksand ridge huge?" Rui asked, taking off the rat skin that was draped outside.
"At our pace, there will be no accidents in three or five days." Hu Lan nodded.
"Fox Daddy, is there anything fun about Quicksand Ridge?" Ke Zhenshi stretched out his head and asked.
Hu Lan didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head.
At night, the sky is exceptionally bright, and the dark blue sky is full of stars, but the moon is gone. At this time, the teenagers could barely see their surroundings, the glacier was getting farther and farther behind them, and sand gradually appeared on the flat land in front of them, thinking that they were not far from the desert.
Everyone was walking on the dark brown earth, although the night was getting deeper and deeper, the temperature was gradually getting higher, and Ke Zhenshi, Di Qingchuan and others also took off the mouse skin one after another.
"I see everyone resting on the spot, I guess you are tired too." Hu Lan glanced at the teenagers and stopped first.
Then the people quickly found a dry and flat ground nearby, and the boys did not lose the mouse skin in their hands, which came in handy, and they laid the mouse fur grass on the ground, and sat down and began to rest.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, everyone marched forward again with the morning sun. The icebergs behind him gradually disappeared into the horizon, and the surrounding land became more and more sand and darker in color.
As far as the eye can see, there is only one color in heaven and earth, and that is red. On the earth, there is a desert like cinnabar; In the sky, there is the red sun; Even the dust floating in the air was red gold.
The sand of Quicksand Ridge is not the same color as ordinary deserts, it is red.
Rui Gong crouched down and picked up a handful of sand, the crimson sand slowly flowing down her fingertips, making her feel the hot temperature.
"Ouch, that's hot!" Ke Zhenshi yelled and grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the sky, letting it spill. Husang and Di Qingchuan also followed his example and did the same moves.
The teenagers played for a while, but soon lost interest, and the sun shining brighter and brighter overhead on the desert made them look like frosted eggplants.
Although Quicksand Ridge is a desert, it is not completely barren. In this crimson desert, you can occasionally see four or five trees. The trunk of the tree is red and black, not tall but straight, and at the top of the tree, there are several thick and petite leaves, which hang in the shape of a spindle on the branches.
"What kind of tree is this?" Rui Gong saw it for the first time and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This tree is called the Zhe Tree, and it is a common tree in the desert here in us. It stores a lot of water in its leaves, and it can be used to save lives at critical moments. Father Fox explained. The teenagers smiled, but didn't take it seriously.
At noon, a towering stone mountain appeared in front of the group, the peaks were reddish and brown, and the whole mountain had almost no slope, standing upright and rushing towards the sky. In the middle of the mountains, however, there is a red river that rushes down like a waterfall and flows into the desert at the foot of the mountain. When I got closer, I realized that the red color was not the river at all, but the same color as the sand under the feet of the boys!
"Wow, is this the river? Why is it all sand that flows? Ke Zhenshi shouted excitedly.
Rui Gong and Di Qingchuan had never seen such a scene, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.
"That's how the name of Quicksand Ridge came from, and this is a bit interesting." Fox Sang grinned, and at the same time landed on all fours, and ran over quickly.
Ke Zhenshi followed closely, pulling and pulling one person and one fox, running around the flowing sand river, and soon collapsed to the ground panting and tired.
Rui Geng, Di Qingchuan, and Fox Qi finally came to the Sand River. Rui Gong looked at the quicksand falling from the sky, racked her brains and didn't figure out what the reason was, and asked the fox tree, but she didn't even know.
Just as the teenagers were immersed in the wonders in front of them, a cold shout suddenly sounded all around.
"Where the creatures have soiled my treasure land, you are limited to get out of my territory within ten breaths!"
