Chapter 140: The Land of Paradise
Perhaps it was because of Duan Feng's perennial training, the moment the Ice Snake Boy came into contact with Liu Yuwei, he did not show the tyranny he should have, but was very calm.
Liu Yu's slightly hanging heart finally relaxed a little.
She took a deep breath, used her aura, and threw the Ice Sword into the air.
"Up!"
"Whoosh!"
The Ice Sword sprang into the sky, then reversed sharply and flew downward.
"Not good!"
Duan Feng saw that the Cold Ice Sword showed no signs of slowing down, and flew straight towards Liu Yu.
He grabbed Liu Yuwei's arm and pulled it behind him.
"Smack!"
The Ice Sword plunged into the ice, splashing up a pile of ice slag.
Liu Yu's face was slightly pale, and he looked at the cold ice sword in shock.
"How could this be?" Duan Feng stretched out his hand and pulled out the Ice Sword.
He didn't feel any anger from the Ice Sword's body, and the Ice Sword was as calm as ever.
"I said I couldn't handle it. Liu Yu said with a slight fear.
"Not true. Duan Feng looked at the Cold Ice Sword thoughtfully, "This is not a problem with the Cold Ice Sword. ”
"Huh?" Liu Yu looked at Duan Feng in surprise, "Is that what I mean?"
"It's not. Duan Feng stood on the ice field with the ice sword in his hand and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Liu Yu followed behind him in confusion.
The two searched around a huge column of water.
"There must be a problem here!" Duan Feng said as he quickened his pace.
"What's the problem?" Liu Yu trotted after him.
"The Ice Sword has been tampered with!" Duan Feng said affirmatively.
"Ahh
"So, it's because the Ice Sword has always been by my side that the person who did something to it must be nearby. ”
"Nearby?" Liu Yuwei looked around, and recalled the situation just now, she didn't see anyone else.
Duan Feng suddenly quickened his pace, and the two of them bypassed the water column, and the scene in front of them completely stunned them.
A huge iceberg hundreds of feet tall stood impressively in front of the two of them, blocked by a waterspout just now, and they didn't notice the existence of the iceberg, or they didn't know what the iceberg looked like before it was covered by ice.
"W-where is this?" asked Liu Yu, opening her mouth slightly.
Duan Feng looked at the extremely shocking iceberg in front of him, and he was also very puzzled in his heart.
"I don't know, but the person who just exerted his influence on the Ice Serpent must be inside. ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Go in and have a look. ”
"It's too dangerous to go in, isn't it?"
"We have no choice, since he chooses to exert influence on the Ice Serpent, it proves that he doesn't want us to leave, and we can only get out of here if we see that person. ”
"What if he kills us?"
Duan Feng was stunned for a moment, it was not impossible to have this possibility, but in order to be able to comfort Liu Yuwei, he could only say: "If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it just now, and he wouldn't have to wait so long." ”
Although Liu Yuwei was still worried in her heart, she still followed Duan Feng to step on the iceberg and gradually walked inside.
After stepping on the iceberg, they realized that it was not an iceberg in the pure sense of the word.
Beneath the ice is lush grass and surrounded by ice-covered trees.
The trees and flowers were covered in ice in an instant, and even some of the birds that lived in the trees were stuck to the branches.
Through the thick ice, you can see that there are some small animals that have been frozen inside, and even large beasts such as tigers and leopards are completely frozen in the ice.
Some tigers and leopards are still hunting.
Everything here is like a giant group of ice sculptures.
"What's going on here? Did we just freeze this place?"
"We didn't do it, we were frozen a long time ago. ”
Look at the texture of the layers of ice, which is the result of years of snow and ice, and it was already like this here before they arrived.
"But how can there be such a big iceberg in this vast warm area?"
Circumventing an ice peak about 100 zhang high, they entered an ice forest, which was originally a huge pine forest, and the pine trees were more than 10 zhang high on average.
It's just that all the pine trees are covered in ice, but the interior is still the same, and from time to time you can see a few pine trees with pine nuts in their mouths.
The ice road was slippery, and they had to carefully navigate through the forest.
Ahead is a taller mountain, towering into the clouds, and the summit is also covered with a layer of snow.
There was a dead silence all around, with no sign of life in sight except for the frozen animals inside the ice.
Suddenly, a whirring sound came from ahead, followed by a cold wind mixed with snowflakes.
The two of them walked hundreds of meters against the wind and came to the front of a valley, from which the cold wind blew.
The cliffs on both sides of the valley are more than 100 zhang high, very steep, and a boulder sticks out from the cliff on one side, stretching out dozens of zhang away, like a broken bridge that is about to cross the valley.
At the end of the valley is a cliff that is hundreds of feet high, and below it is an endless ice field.
"Looks like this is the end of the road. Duan Feng stood on the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance.
The two searched the valley and found nothing suspicious.
"The iceberg is so big, where are we going to find that person?"
Duan Feng was also puzzled, they walked all the way and found that there was no way to live here except for ice and snow.
He looked around, thought twice, and said helplessly, "Let's go." ”
Just as the two of them were about to leave the valley, a strong wind suddenly blew from the direction of the entrance to the valley.
Because their feet were slippery and the two were unprepared, they were instantly swept into the air by the wind and thrown against the cliff.
Before the two could react, they were swept into a thick cloud of smoke by the wind.
Duan Feng originally thought that he would fall to his death, or at least be seriously injured, but they fell into the air for a long time.
For such a long time, according to the convolution of the wind, at least a few thousand zhang must have fallen, but just now he clearly saw that the top of this mountain cliff was only a hundred zhang.
The two of them were surrounded by thick clouds and mist, and they couldn't see the scene in the distance at all.
"Whoa!"
"Bang bang!"
The two of them were thrown to the ground hard, and strangely they didn't feel the pain.
Beneath the two of them was a thick layer of fallen leaves, and the surrounding light was dark.
They fell into a cave, and the entrance of the cave was projected into a bright light, and the entrance of the cave was more than a dozen feet from the bottom.
The air inside the cave was much warmer than outside, and it was even a little hot.
"What is this place?"
"I don't know. ”
"It's so dark!"
Duan Feng took out the fire fold from his arms and lit a pile of fallen leaves, and the surroundings immediately brightened.
The cave is not big, only a dozen zhang wide, there are a few pieces of gravel around except for the fallen leaves, and there is a small hole along the cave, which can only accommodate one person to pass through.
The two of them drilled into the hole, it was a tunnel, the inside of the tunnel was very regular, and there were obvious traces of chiseling on the stone walls on both sides.
It was a tunnel dug by hand, but they walked along the tunnel for hundreds of feet and still didn't reach the end.
I don't know how much time it took to dig such a long tunnel on this rocky mountain.
Duan Feng thought to himself, there must be something extremely important at the end of the tunnel, otherwise, who would have made so much effort to dig such a tunnel.
The tunnel ahead suddenly opened up, indicating that they were nearing the end of the tunnel.
After turning a corner, it suddenly became clear to me that there were more than a dozen thick vines hanging from the exit of the tunnel.
The entrance to the cave was flooded with weeds, and the sound of running water could be heard outside.
The two looked at the entrance of the cave in surprise and walked out of the tunnel.
Outside, there is a plain lined with green trees, beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by birds and flowers, without the dead silence of the ice and snow just now.
The scenery here is many times better than the human world, there is no killing, no pollution, no signs of human intervention.
Everything grows according to the will of nature, the waterfalls on the high mountains in the distance soar down like white lian, the birds fly in the sky, and the ground is full of wild things.
I'm afraid the view of paradise is nothing more than that. Duan Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Along the path at their feet, it is actually just a flat stone wall, and the two walked down the cliff, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers and the melodious birdsong along the way made people feel refreshed.
After walking for about two miles, the two came to a wooded forest.
Fallen leaves accumulate all over the ground, but suddenly there is a small path in the thick fallen leaves.
"It looks like it's really inhabited. ”
Duan Feng and the others walked along the path to the depths of the dense forest, and the further they went, the more lush the trees on both sides became, and the thicker the branches became.
After walking for about two or three miles, a small courtyard appeared in front of them, surrounded by low tree branches, and inside were three small thatched huts.
At the back of the yard is a small vegetable garden with patches of greens.
In front of the courtyard were a few withered trees, which looked to have been dead for many years, but the branches were more than a foot thick, just in front of the courtyard door.
Duan Feng was very strange, why did the owner of the yard face the main gate of these dead trees, wasn't it very inconvenient?
There are also a few small trees in the yard, only a foot high, and the thatched hut facing the gate is the largest, which should be the main house.
There is a small room on each side, but it should be no problem as a kitchen or a single bedroom.
The two walked around the dead tree and came to the gate of the courtyard, Duan Feng looked at the courtyard, but there was no one.
Maybe it's because he can't rest, Duan Feng thought to himself.
"Awesome, great!"
He knocked the plank on the door.
There was no movement inside, and he pushed the wooden door, which was tied with a cotton rope, and although he could easily untie it and enter, he didn't.
"Awesome, great!"
"Anyone?"
There was still no response, the yard was silent, not even a birdsong was chirping.
"We were passing by, begging for a drink. ”
Duan Feng waited for a while, listening attentively, and there was still silence inside.
He had just reached out to untie the cotton rope inside, when suddenly a coughing sound came from inside.
"Who?"
An old man's voice came from the house, the voice sounded very old, the old man's age should be over sixty years old, Duan Feng thought to himself.
