Song Jie was tired on the first day, his legs were sore on the second day, and he walked out of the limit on the third day, until now he was completely numb, and his legs seemed to be not his own, numbly lifted and fell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Dawn is still in good spirits, and there is joy before and after running.
The group of snow wolves didn't know why, they didn't move at all,
It stands to reason that the group of snow wolves chased Dawn for so long, running from the core area all the way to the mountains near the border, and they never lost it, and there was no reason why Dawn would not be able to follow them at all if they turned in one direction.
But even if Song Jie wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out the reason, and for Dawn, this was simply a real life where eating and drinking every day was not in danger.
After walking in the wild mountains for so many days, they have not even encountered a fierce beast, the landform of the northern country is a little peculiar, it is a country covered by the whole mountain range, no one knows how big it is, the outer circle of the northern country as a holy place of the Yunding Snow Mountain is neatly arranged according to the rules of getting shorter and shorter, in addition to the periphery of the entire northern country as the boundary of the three kingdoms, I heard that the other side of the snow top of the holy mountain, at the far end of the endless mountain range, the border is the vast and endless sea. It's not that no one wants to explore what the whole picture of the northern country looks like, but as long as all electronic eyes or satellites are aimed in the direction of the northern country, they will be disturbed by an inexplicable magnetic field, showing a snowflake-shaped interface.
Song Jie didn't have the idea of finding out, his only goal was to climb the snow peak to find the interpreter, the mountain peaks he had climbed over in the past few days were getting higher and higher, and some peaks had a lot of bare rocks and even a lot of snow.
The mountain he was going to climb today was seen from afar on the top of a mountain a few days ago, and it was covered with a layer of hazy white from not far from the foot of the mountain, unlike the hill a few days ago, Song Jie conservatively estimated that it would take at least five or six days to climb this mountain.
Even if there was no one around, Song Jie still deliberately found a place to change into the clothes he purchased when he entered the mountain, and as soon as the clothes were put on, he instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
He felt that the way he had walked was completely different from what Laneige had described, no one could see anyone, except for trees, all kinds of strange animals and plants, only Dawn was always by his side. I don't know what kind of path Dawn led him on.
A few days ago, there was a time when I went up to the top of the mountain just to eat, because of the altitude, the vegetation on the top of the mountain was sparse, and even decent trees could hardly be found, let alone what Song Jie could eat, he was hungry fiercely, and since then, all the empty seats that can be squeezed out of Song Jie's big travel bag have been given to the fruits that can be seen on the road.
Song Jie walked on this mountain for a long time to the land with bare black soil, it seems that because of the soil quality, it is only counted as the foot of the mountain at the moment, there is no vegetation cover, the elevation here seems to have gradually increased in the back and forth of the mountain, Song Jie can obviously feel that the surrounding environment is getting colder and colder these days, it may be that there is no vegetation to warm this mountain, he didn't go far on the bare black soil mountain, Song Jie's feet already have a layer of shallow snow, and the snow is getting thicker and thicker when he goes up, Song Jie's progress is getting more and more difficult, but fortunately this is a mountain that no one has visited all year round, and the snow is very soft, so that Song Jie will not slide.
Dawn takes a step down, leaving a shallow imprint on the snow, it seems to be very good at controlling the power of the fallen legs, and it feels like a fish in water in such an environment.
Song Jie's wrapped thermal underwear and cold-proof clothing with air layers are all exerting force, but his exposed palms and cheeks still have the illusion of being frozen. He knew that he had not prepared enough, what was the use of being warm on his body, and after the blood reached his cheeks and hands, he immediately became cold and flowed back.
Song Jie, who had such a bitter idea, was naturally excited after seeing the steaming hot spring.
In a quiet silver white, the three pools of hot springs are bubbling hot, in a piece of ice and snow, the clear water is tumbling up and down, a burst of warmth is hazy in the air, there are a few strange fruit trees growing not far from the pool, the branches of the trees are as black and red as the land here, the leaves are indeed silver and white like ice and snow, and the full fruits of ice blue hang on the branches, the tree is not too tall, but it is not short, Song Jie saw that he could barely reach the bottom fruit on tiptoe.
Such a scene is a little beautiful in a monotonous white, and Song Jie, who is about to be frozen, is as excited to see a hot spring at this moment as people in the desert see water. He almost wanted to jump in and soak comfortably for a while, but reason told him that if he did, he would definitely freeze the moment he came out.
Dawn wagged his tail and circled around one of the pools, and with some curiosity stretched out his paws to touch the water, and in about two or three seconds, Dawn quickly withdrew his paws, staggered back a few steps, and because of the unsteady steps, Dawn fell half of his body into the snow, barking like a demonstration at the hot spring. Song Jie's sharp eyes found that there seemed to be a handful of hairs on the claws that Dawn quickly withdrew.
"Yo~" A shout came from afar.
A feather arrow galloped with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, directly grazing Song Jie's clothes and flying over, and the huge force made the feather arrow fly far away after surpassing Song Jie's body, until it merged with the vast white snow.
Song Jie, who was a little frightened, looked in the direction where the feather arrow was flying, and several snow-white figures gradually appeared on the snow, they were all wearing white velvet clothes, and even if they stood up, they seemed to melt together with the vast white snow.
"Let's get Asa's secret door to suck sua......." One person in the distance shouted words that Song Jie didn't understand at all, and the other two people who stood up held bows and arrows in their hands and made a posture that they could shoot arrows at any time.
Song Jie was startled, and hurriedly raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and the gang shouted a bunch of words that Song Jie didn't understand at all, and the two people who were pulling the bow filled the bow with arrows, and they seemed to be ready to shoot the bow and arrows at any time.
"I don't understand what you're saying." Song Jie hurriedly replied loudly.
The person in charge of shouting in the middle seemed to realize the problem of language barrier between the two sides, and turned his head to the two of them to say a few words, Song Jie couldn't hear what they said, of course, even if he heard eighty percent, he couldn't understand it.
The one in the middle turned his head and ran backwards, and the other two people slowly approached Song Jie with bows and arrows, and Song Jie was very amusemented to do nothing that might provoke them. As for Dawn, this thing has been obediently squatting beside Song Jie since just now, licking his newly injured paws.
As the two people approached, Song Jie gradually saw their faces clearly, the strange curly curled cross totem depicted on the face by the black dye, which seemed to be two fish swimming, as if the whole face looked a little weird, Song Jie stared at it for a long time and felt a little dizzy.
Soon, the man who had just left brought with him another young man, who had a complete snow wolf skin hanging on his body, and the wolf's head hung down on his chest with his eyes closed, as if he were just sleeping peacefully, and the young man's skin was very white, except for the eyelids with a thin line drawn with black dye. His whole person seemed to be an elf coming out of the ice and snow, and his every move was so natural and harmonious.
Song Jie didn't see him speak, but he heard his voice very clearly, "Traveler, why are you here with us?" ”
"Do you speak Mandarin?" Song Jie was a little surprised, "I'm just passing through here, and I'll leave soon, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"I don't speak Mandarin, I'm a spirit whisperer, and I can hear the voice of all life." The young man smiled, his pale cheeks looking particularly charming, "Since you are only passing through this place, why do you want to disturb the Holy Spirit of my people and defile the holy water of my people? ”
Even if it was a very harsh question, the young man still asked it gently, and there was a reassuring look in his eyes. People can't help but want to say everything in their hearts, but Song Jie is telling the truth, so the answer is nothing more than that he doesn't know and so on.
Then the young man opened his mouth and communicated with the other three people in words that Song Jie did not understand. Honestly, this feeling of putting your fate in the hands of someone else is really bad.
The young man bowed slightly to Song Jie, "They agreed to forgive you for your unreasonableness, but your domesticated hunting beast has defiled the holy water, and in order to show your sincerity, they ask you to sacrifice your hunting beast." ”
"Hunting beasts? No way, Dawn is my partner! Song Jie was taken aback, the situation that was about to get better just now instantly became bad again, what is the difference between this and not forgiving him, Dawn took him all the way here, how could he agree to such a condition.
"So we came up with a compromise." The young man's tone was still a little unhurried, and the soft voice seemed to comfort him. "Do you see the Ice Fruit Tree on the edge of the Sacred Pool? The ice fruit on the tree is the food of the Holy Spirit, and as long as the Holy Spirit is willing to accept the food you offer, they agree to forgive you and offer you as a guest. ”
The young man finished speaking in a soft tone, and pointed to the tree by the hot spring that Song Jie had just thought was beautiful, and now, the fruit on this tree was about to decide the fate of him and Dawn.
Song Jie stood on tiptoe and picked a slightly cool fruit. Standing by the hot spring with some hesitation, he didn't know how to put this fruit into the hot spring, in case this fruit sank directly to the bottom as soon as it entered the water, how could these people judge whether his worship was successful or not.
As it turned out, his worries were completely unnecessary, and as soon as he threw the fruit out of his hand, a large black fish more than half a meter long instantly jumped up in the hot spring, and swallowed the fruit completely with his mouth open. Song Jie was thrown by the fishtail, and before he could see the whole picture of the big fish, the big guy smashed into the water.
When he turned back, all four of them were kneeling in the direction where he was.
