Chapter 193

In the room made of snow, Wu Xiu will no longer be blown by the wind, let alone drenched in snow, but still warm. Now that the surroundings of Lin Xuanzhong and the others were really starting to get warmer, after another hour, they could already clearly feel the temperature around them rising.

The snow on it was constantly solidifying as it melted, and the houses made of snow became more and more stable, leaving more and more space for them, and they felt warmer and warmer. The night passed like this, and when it was close to dawn, Lin Xuanzhong finally fell asleep.

I slept very comfortably, and after falling asleep, my clothes gradually dried. When he opened his eyes, there was a white expanse in front of him, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't know where he was for a while, until he turned around and found that Qingyi and Ming Buregret were still there, so he gradually reacted, but gradually looked up, Lin Xuanzhong still didn't understand.

"Don't look at it, it's ice and snow," Ming Buregret next to him somehow said like this.

"Snow," silently chanted, Lin Xuanzhong reached out and touched it, and it felt cold and hard, like an ice cube, but he obviously felt very warm, which was really strange.

"That's a natural condition that forms when the snow melts, don't be surprised. Sensing Lin Xuanzhong's actions, Qing Yi, who was also awake, explained aloud.

"Wake up, the people inside. ”

"Are all the people inside dead?"

Through the thick layers of snow came the annoying voices outside, and the escorts were ready to go.

In fact, nothing has changed, there is no freedom, all the beauty will only make people more painful when they are lost, hearing the shouts outside, Lin Xuanzhong gradually returned to reality, and that warm feeling disappeared immediately.

The shouts outside were followed by the sound of the ice pounding, apparently waiting for the hard servants to respond, and the escorts outside were already waiting impatiently.

After a chaotic sound, the shattered ice smashed on the person for a while, and there was a burst of swearing, apparently unaware of their situation.

Of course, when those people wake up and face the guards, they will still accept the facts in front of them.

"Hurry up," shouted one of the guards with a whip, and the whirring sound of the whip startled many of the slaves to get up from the ground, and after a series of chain collisions, dozens of prisoners stood up one after another, but at last three of them were still curled up on the ground motionless. His face was pale, his body was covered with frost, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Let you get up, do you hear me," one of the escorts kicked one of them without sympathy, looking vicious.

The man who was kicked remained motionless, and after a few more kicks without responding, the man bent down to check the pulse of the man lying on the ground.

"It's dead," he shook his head helplessly, and the escort looked unlucky, as if he was very dissatisfied with his discovery, so he ran over and kicked the other two again.

The two of them who were lying down were kicked awake, but when they woke up, they looked half-dead, and it seemed that it was a little difficult for them to continue on the road.

"Do you two get up and continue on your way, or do you lie here with him and wait for someone to collect your body," the words were not polite at all, and the cold tone seemed as if the two of them did not stand up immediately, and the words of the escort would immediately become true.

Under a strange gaze, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, unable to tell what it felt like in his heart, and he didn't know what their lives were in the eyes of those escorts. His eyes were full of sympathy, but he didn't dare to show it because of fear, Lin Xuanzhong, like many people, could only simply hope that the two of them could stand up.

Under everyone's gaze, the two were finally helped up by the person next to them and stood with difficulty.

"Very good," After the two of them finally stood up, the escort was not surprised by the scene in front of them, and sneered and returned directly to the position of the dead man just now. After simply unchaining the body, he kicked the corpse to the side, and then raised the whip in his hand.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up?" and so on, without even eating, dozens of slaves continued on their way in deep fear.

At the same time, the middle-aged team leader has already led people to find out all the locations about the traffickers, but they have encountered walls everywhere, not only did the idea of using money to buy Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi back not come true, but also suffered a lot of losses.

In the end, he was forced to be helpless, and it was inferred from the news that Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi would definitely be sent out of the city, so the middle-aged team leader and others had been guarding outside the city. As soon as a closed carriage was about to leave the city, the middle-aged leader would take the risk to stop it, but in the end, he still did not find the existence of Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi, because they were at the exit of the North City Gate.

Since Lin Xuanzhong was sent away from the South City Gate, the distance was hundreds of miles. It's a pity that there are too few people who can be used, so it can only be like this.

Putting aside the situation of the middle-aged team leader, the snow on the road is too thick, a few feet deep, and the rustling sound is constantly on it, which is very difficult to walk. Fortunately, there are those horses in front of us, and only by walking those hoof prints can people be more relaxed, of course, no matter how easy it is, it is not as easy as yesterday.

Although the snow stopped, the weather was still very bad, and the cold wind was blowing, and the people who were blowing were involuntary and miserable.

Those escorts kept holding whips to chase behind, there were still hundreds of miles away from that destination, it was hard to imagine how much hardship Lin Xuanzhong had to endure, and the further they went, the higher the terrain, the more tired they became.

From time to time, someone will fall and then be forced to get up and continue walking, and if they don't go, they will die.

By noon, the people of the city that never sleeped had received the news that war had begun in the south, and that the armies of the five nations had set out to march into other countries in accordance with their fate.

Some small countries surrendered directly under great pressure, some small countries that delayed their surrender tried to obtain more material or political benefits for themselves through transactions, and some small countries have already competed with the armies of the five major powers to defend the last pure land that originally belonged to them.

The five great powers vowed to fight the war to the end, and they were bound to take over all the surrounding countries to strengthen themselves as strategic places in the event of war with other powers.

In the original territory, many small countries are rapidly disappearing, at the same time, the territory of the five major powers is expanding, some people who do not want to see the war have moved their original addresses, want to move to a safe area, but in the case of the entire southern blockade, there is no place that is absolutely safe, they can only try to protect their own security.

On the side of the city that never sleeps in the north, there was a lot of tension after the news of the war, and the people in the city rarely went out, as the main checkpoint "Shanhaiguan" connecting the south and the north, it has always been guarded by people from the three major families, and now the three major families are sending people to Shanhaiguan to block the entire checkpoint and not let people come.

While keeping an eye on the war, the three major families must use certain means to ensure that the city that never sleeps will not be affected by the war. The news of the war spread more and more tightly in the city that never sleeps, and the prices of the night city have risen a lot rapidly, especially the weapons are selling very hotly. As long as it is a martial artist, he will prepare a few more weapons for himself.

Not surprisingly, news of the war in the south quickly spread from those mercenary teams to all the cities of the Northridge, although it was not known when the southern army would fight, and many were already preparing accordingly.

Two days later, the phantom of a mountain appeared in front of everyone's eyes in the distance, like a swimming dragon, and they did not know where it leads.

The long mountain range is the first mountain ridge on the periphery of the North Wilderness Mountain Range, and judging from the distance, it can be reached in less than a day.

In the past two days, everyone has suffered because of the snow, and several more slaves have died on the way. Under the constant torture, some martial cultivators became as fragile as ordinary people, but it was precisely because of the death of those people that those guards could no longer withstand the loss of numbers.

Because they were worried that they would not be able to make the difference, the escort people's attitude towards Lin Xuanzhong and them was much better now. There was noticeably more food than had been given to the people, and sometimes they would give some of the leftovers to the frail servants. Regardless of whether those people were willing or helpless, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to see anyone die again, so his mood improved.

After a few days of life worse than death, all three of them lost a lot of weight, and their clothes were even more tattered, and if they hadn't always had hope, all three would have been tortured to the point of collapse like everyone else.

The seventh-order martial cultivator who led the team never cared about the life or death of hard labor, and kept looking around from time to time in front of the team, as if he was on guard against something. In fact, in the past two days, Lin Xuanzhong also thought about whether he would encounter a fierce beast on the road, after all, it is normal to encounter a fierce beast in the wilderness, but it can be seen that the surroundings have always been white, there is nothing abnormal, and even the footprints left by a fierce beast cannot be seen.

Originally, the fierce beast in his heart suddenly appeared, and then fought with those escorts, and the hope that the three of them could take advantage of the chaos to escape was gradually shattered.

"There's someone over there," and suddenly, a slave raised his hand and pointed to his left.

"You're here to save us?" and the other servant shouted as he pointed to the other side.

The escorts also looked over there when they noticed the movement, and then there was a sound of swords being drawn. Immediately afterwards, a small leader-like figure immediately raised his weapon and shouted to all the hard servants: "You all listen to me, whoever dares to move, don't blame Lao Tzu for being rude!"

Looking over there with the others, on the vast white snowfield, several people were running fast with long weapons and riding tall horses. I have heard Ming Buregret say before, the horse that Wu Xiu likes to ride is a fierce beast crossbow, which is far stronger than ordinary horses, and the seventh-order Wu Xiu in front of him is riding.

In the past few days, Lin Xuanzhong gradually understood this. The horses ridden by the seventh-order martial cultivators in front of them were indeed different from those ridden by others, although they were the same tame, they always gave people a sense of strength.
