Time slipped by, and soon, the sun was very close to the earth's plane. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the sunlight is not dazzling, it is very soft.

On the other side of the sun, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, looming in the sky.

"I remember what Wang Sijin said, the entrance is the brightest place on the mountain when the sun and the moon are at the same time."

Looking at the vast white snow above, you can't see where it is brightest.

"It's because I'm anxious, I knew that I would look at the position at the bottom of the mountain before coming up."

Shaking his head, since he has come up so much, he won't go down again, so let's keep going.

In the wild, there is a way to calculate the time of sunset.

When the sun is closer to the horizon, stretch out your palm, touch your little finger to the horizon, and count one upward, which is fifteen minutes. This method is still relatively accurate, and because it is convenient and intuitive, many explorers like to use it.

Half an hour later...

It was getting darker, and although there was still a decent amount of light, the sun was already halfway above the horizon. At most, twenty minutes, it will be completely dark.

The nights here can be very dangerous, not only for the snow wolves that can be seen at any time, but also for the ubiquitous climate.

As the sun slowly sets, the temperature here is plummeting, and the sight is getting worse and worse.

This is a snow-capped mountain, a white expanse, and it is not easy to see the road during the day, let alone at night. The good thing is that the snowflakes reflect the light, and the night is not too dark.

But in this extreme environment, the Night Dead did not dare to venture forward.

Moreover, he was now almost halfway up the mountain, and he would definitely be able to reach the top of the mountain to-morrow, and the entrance could only be found when the sun and the moon were at the same time. It was about five to six o'clock in the afternoon.

So, he didn't have to be in such a hurry now.

Although stepping on the snow saves a lot of mana compared to flying, it also consumes a lot of walking for half a day. I have to go tomorrow, so I might as well take this time to rest and recover.

As he walked, his sentience kept an eye on his surroundings.

Listen to the change of the wind, the direction of the wind, and so on and so forth.

"This is it."

It didn't take long for him to find a temporary place to live on a small snowy peak.

It's a snow-covered cave with no animals or bugs, and it's a good shelter to clean up a bit.

Pull the snow open, light a fire and throw it in.

The fire is burning, which means that there is air.

Under the light of the fire, it can be seen that the inside is not filled with snow, but the doorway is blocked. The space inside is quite large, there are more than ten square meters, and it is quite dry, which is a good place.

The fire spell was not turned off, and with his mana, it was not a problem to maintain a low-level spell for lighting. What's more, when the rune paper was painted, it had already incorporated a lot of mana, enough for it to burn on its own for a long time.

The sky is getting darker and darker.

In the snowy mountains, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a black windbreaker, and a briefcase in his hand is walking on the snow with difficulty.

He avoided the people who were looking for him during the day, but because he wasn't dressed very thickly, he couldn't stand it himself as it got dark.

Fortunately, I ran for a day, and I haven't been idle, so I won't freeze to death.

As he walked, he saw a light ahead.

He knew that there were often explorers and climbers in the mountains. He thinks that this light is also likely to be those who climb the mountain.

After all, those who chased him were behind him.

Walking to the door, he could already feel the warmth brought from inside, it was the flames.

After freezing for a day, this level of flame also made him feel very kind.

"Hello, can I borrow a night here? Thank you. ”

Before entering the door, the middle-aged man said hello very politely.

The night goddess who was meditating instantly opened his eyes and looked at the uninvited guests in front of him.

The middle-aged man walked in, and because of the presence of the firelight, he immediately found the Night Dead sitting not far away.

"Hello, I'm lost in the mountains, can I stay here for one night? Don't worry, I'll pay. ”

When the middle-aged man saw the other party looking at him, he was afraid that the other party would be disgusted, so he immediately said that he would pay. He wasn't lying, and if he didn't chase him away, he would have left some money in return.

Night Immortal only glanced at him before retracting his gaze, and said slowly, "You don't have to pay, you can stay, but don't disturb me." ”

"Okay, thanks."

The middle-aged man thanked him and prepared to roast the fire.

"Hmm~ It's so warm."

Sitting on my knees, I raised my hands and approached the flame, and suddenly I felt much warmer, as if I was holding a stove.

But after roasting for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What's wrong?

Looking at the flames burning above his head, he was startled.

This flame is actually suspended in the air?!

Upon closer inspection, he did not find any containers, nor did he find silk threads hanging from them.

This flame is floating in the air!

Surprised, the middle-aged man looked at the night dead who was sitting cross-legged not far away, and was about to ask, but he remembered that the other party would not let him disturb his words, so he closed his mouth.

After a little observation, he found that the other party was not wearing a cotton coat, only a leather coat, and there should be an autumn coat inside, and the coat was still open.

Here are the Himalayas, on the snow-capped mountains, minus forty or fifty degrees. He was only wearing such a thin outfit?!

And there doesn't seem to be any luggage here, and looking at him, he doesn't look like an ordinary mountaineer at all.

And he was sitting cross-legged, meditating somewhere, and he didn't even move for a long time.

Meditation requires a long period of exercise, and ordinary people can't hold on to it for a few minutes, don't look at it as simple, only people who can use this posture as a rest all year round.

There were all kinds of doubts in his heart, but the middle-aged man also knew that he was breaking in rashly, so he didn't ask too much, for fear of displeasing the other party.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, and he knows that there are many capable people in this world, and they often live in seclusion in the mountains to do penance, far away from the world.

Perhaps, the mysterious young man in front of him may be a hidden master.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, the middle-aged man changed to a more comfortable position and sat down, close to the flames, seeking warmth.

Mutter! ~

A strange voice came to mind, very conspicuous in the empty cave.

Night Darkness opened his eyes, and the middle-aged man opposite him was holding his stomach with one hand and scratching his head with the other, smiling awkwardly.

Then, he took something out of his bosom and threw it in front of the middle-aged man.

"I don't need to eat on weekdays, that's all I have, let's make do with it first."

The middle-aged man saw that it was actually a chocolate, and hurriedly picked it up.

"Thank you, Master."
