Chapter Ninety-Six: The Far North
In the far north of the no-man's land, ice covers the surface of the inland sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's surrounded by icebergs and it's sparsely populated. The sun is so bright at all times of the day that, as far north, there are no dark nights in the summer.
There is a newly opened hole in the ice, and a large bubble is hidden under the ice. Above the hole floated three balloons with faces and eyes, and they hovered beside the hole, their smiles stiff and eerie.
These three human head balloons engraved with Xia Dongliang's appearance chased all the way here until Xia Dongliang's breath was interrupted. Because of the low temperature and the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the balloons are much smaller than the size of a normal human head, and their skin is shriveled and full of wrinkles.
After they left the hands of Xiaoyu, they have been looking for humans who look like them. Drifting from the land of no return to Qingcheng, from Qingcheng to the far north, I don't know if they will get tired.
Whether they are tired or not, Xia Dongliang doesn't know, he only knows that he has a rare respite now.
In the bubble space of the ocean, Xia Dongliang was worried. He was holding a playing card with no diamonds or spades, only a simple box.
This is the fifty-third card of a deck of cards - any card.
Xia Dongliang said to Jing Yuanying: "There is only one ......"
The implication is: Jing Yuanying, is your plan really useful? I only have one arbitrary card on me, and when I run out, it's gone. This is the only hope.
Jing Yuanying looked at Xia Dongliang firmly and said, "Believe me, I'm a magic mirror, I know everything in the book." In The Legend of a Thousand Ghosts, it is recorded that the forbidden human head balloons of the fallen heads will move with the breath of their targets. When the target's breath is captured, they will attempt to entangle the target to death. They don't have offensive power, but they're annoying. If they are destroyed, the target whose breath is captured will be killed by a headshot. ”
Attribute the first ground branch rat, the ability magic mirror, can record all the paper literature content.
In Snow White's story, the malevolent queen always likes to ask questions of the Magic Mirror, because the Magic Mirror knows everything. Although Jing Yuanying's magic mirror ability could not let her understand the affairs of the world, it made her knowledgeable.
The breath is blocked by the water layer, and the police dog with a keen sense of smell cannot smell the criminals who enter the water. Coupled with the influence of the temperature in the extreme north, the smaller human head balloon moves slower, which is an opportunity for Xia Dongliang to fight back.
"It's rare to find a place with low temperature and water, it's a rare opportunity, and you don't want to continue to be chased by these three human head balloons!" Jing Yuanying said.
"Observe ...... again," Xia Dongliang hesitated. His handsome weapon is a deck of magic playing cards, each of which has his own ability to create an exclusive space to turn the characteristic suit of the cards into the corresponding weapon.
For example, J's squire, Q's queen, and K's king are all weapons he created based on the characteristics of playing cards.
He didn't want to create a new magic poker after running out of decks. Because now if you want to create a new magic poker, the old cards will be useless because of the depletion of power. There will be a gap in the process of handing over the old and the new, when he has no combat effectiveness.
"Forget it, we've been running for days, and it's not too bad for this one. Well...... Count the days, the Imperial City auction has begun. Is it in time? You've said that you have people to care about. Jing Yuanying said casually.
Xia Dongliang moved.
Any card made a scar on the hand, and blood soaked the white playing card. Xia Dongliang flew any card out of the ice hole, and it became the shape of a person, with the same face as Xia Dongliang, but the body was a piece of paper with only strokes.
Any card can create any item, but due to the limitations of Xia Dongliang's current power, he barely created a head.
After all, in addition to judging the target by breath, the human head balloon relies on the appearance to judge the correctness of the target. The head of the paper man was created by Xia Dongliang to be lifelike, and it was not bad at all, which was already very consuming of his spirit.
The breath of blood caught the attention of the human head balloons, which wrapped around the paper man's neck and pulled the paper man into the air in unison.
Getting higher and higher, the human head balloon was as if it had been hit with chicken blood, and it was extremely excited. They breathe rapidly, inhale deeply and exhaly, and grow in size as they rise higher and higher.
Xia Dongliang watched them fly higher and higher with great concern, and he touched his head, worried that his head would become bigger. Although Jing Yuanying said that his own breath was not captured and nothing would happen, before the human head balloon disappeared, the hidden danger still existed.
"If it weren't for me, you would be the one who is entangled in heaven now." Jing Yuanying said proudly to Xia Dongliang.
Xia Dongliang nodded, when he first encountered the human head balloon in Qingcheng, if Jing Yuanying hadn't made him desperate to escape, maybe his life would have been tied there.
I don't know how long the three balloons flew, and I don't know what altitude they reached. Xia Dongliang didn't dare to leave under the ice, although it was cold and stuffy here, but if he was caught again after going out, it would be troublesome.
For a long time, when all the oxygen in the bubble was exhausted, Jing Yuanying was also forced to turn into a magic mirror, because the magic mirror did not need to breathe. Xia Dongliang's face turned purple, but he still didn't dare to go to the water to breathe.
Finally, a humanoid piece of paper floated down and covered the ice hole. It had no head, and burnt black marks remained on the part of the neck.
"Whew." Xia Dongliang burst out of the water and breathed heavily. He understood that the human head balloon carried the paper man up to a high enough air layer, and used the air pressure difference to detonate himself, and died with the paper man.
"Thank you." Xia Dongliang bowed to Jing Yuanying, and he took out a piece of gauze from the storage space to bandage his wound.
"It's okay, you saved me once. You see that I am so useful, can you keep me by your side? Jing Yuanying asked tentatively.
"Let's clear the two of us, I saved you once, and you saved me once." Xia Dongliang said.
"That's ...... true"
"Then, stop following me." Xia Dongliang once again gave Jing Yuanying an eviction order.
"Am I worthless? Obviously I'm useful......" Jing Yuanying lowered her head and muttered.
"Where is the village around here?" Xia Dongliang asked.
Jing Yuanying's eyes lit up, and she also knew the knowledge of books such as geographical maps. So she said excitedly, "You promise to let me follow you, and I will take you there!" Otherwise, in this cold and snowy world, you will either die of cold or starvation! I know where there are villages, where there are railways, and we can get out of this hellish place very quickly. ”
Xia Dongliang looked at Jing Yuanying and smiled slightly.
