Chapter 3 Entering the Ice City for the First Time
"Boom-" The rebound spiritual power was so strong that the few people of Wei Chi were suddenly catapulted to the edge of the stone mountain two zhang away. Beigong Han felt a burst of bitterness in his throat and spurted blood, but he didn't care about it, and hurriedly looked in front of the stone wall.
The four pieces of Xuanmu were unscathed, and the faint brilliance emanating from them was in stark contrast to the decay around them. The fireball was so destructive that it made the hard stone ground sink a lot.
Mu Changfeng woke up slowly, feeling that he seemed to be fine except for the burning pain in his throat from the flames and some burns on his face. He gasped for breath, supported the ground with one hand, staggered to his feet, and stumbled to Mu Ning Jiu Shangjin's side. Both of them had their eyes closed tightly and their faces were pale. Mu Changfeng suddenly "banged" in his mind, he hoarse voice, and called tremblingly:
"Condensation? Condensation?! How are you? You say something......" Seeing that she didn't react in the slightest, the fear and panic in her heart quickly spread. His hand trembled uncontrollably, and he finally grabbed her soft and cold touch, which made his heart sink a little, "No, no, no!" No, ......" In the blue eyes, the pair of people with their eyes closed were reflected, tears appeared, and the eyes became more and more bright, which was extremely incommensurate with the pain contained in them. He took a deep breath, wanting to hold back his tears, but when the cold wind blew them, the tears rolled out of his eyes directly, and he couldn't stop it.
When everyone gathered around, Mu Changfeng was sitting with red eyes, and he seemed to have merged with the immovable stone wall behind him.
Seeing this, Wei Chi frowned tightly, grabbed Mu Ningjiu's hand, and probed in horror for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay...... Just fainted. Mumu, you don't have to worry too much. After finishing speaking, he hurriedly went to take Shang Jin's pulse.
It seemed that after a year and a half, he finally waited for the pulse that symbolized life, as if he was in a state of collapse, and sat down on the ground and said slowly: "Brother Shang...... Life is worry-free, but it seems to be in a state of shock, and I don't know when I will wake up. ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Ningjiu slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the people around him and Shang Jin beside him, his temples twitched suddenly. Mu Changfeng asked her anxiously, "Ning Ning, how do you feel?" ”
She didn't hear it, staring at Shang Jin who was close her eyes on her side, her eyes empty. After a while, he asked in a breathy voice, "He...... How's it going? Seeing that Shang Jin's clothes were burned by the flames, and her face was full of scorched marks, and she couldn't see her original appearance at all, the fear in her heart gradually expanded, accompanied by the pain of dissecting her heart.
Shang Jin, why......
"Wei Chi...... You say, how is he? Mu Ningjiu tried her best to look calm. But there was uneasiness and hope in her beautiful eyes, and a slightly trembling voice, all telling her panic.
She was scared and heard bad results.
"Don't worry, he's still alive." Mu Ningjiu's heart hung extremely high, and immediately fell. The little tears in the corners of the eyes seem to show the relief and joy of relief. The moment the fireball hit, she thought: if she survives, she must tell him. God, I can't take her in the end. Well, I won't give you that chance again!
"However, Brother Shang is in a state of suspended animation, and I don't know when it will be lifted."
"Fake death?" Mu Ningjiu lowered his eyelids and muttered, "How can this be......" The way he was arguing with her, the way he was calculating, the way he was angry, the way he was a scoundrel, the look of a demon, the look of being drunk, and the look of being childish...... Suddenly, it came like a sea of mountains, so fresh and beautiful. Seeing that he is now lifeless, in his heart, bitterness and pain coexist. She held his hand tightly.
"Shang Jin, Shang Jin, wake ......up," Mu Ningjiu whispered his name over and over again, "Your life is so big, you will wake up soon, right?" I'll wait for you to wake up, I still have something I haven't told you yet. You must want to know, the answer ......" Her hand lightly touched Shang Jin's face, and the warm touch made her feel a little relieved: It's okay, it's going to be okay. She comforted herself.
She carefully moved his head to her lap and sat still, using her spiritual power to wash the soot and wounds off his face. Fortunately, fortunately, his face was not ruined. Otherwise, she didn't know what would happen with his character...... She took a deep breath, and the wind "whirring" on the mountain blew her dry eye sockets painfully.
"Are you awake?"
"Shang Jin, Shang Jin......"
"Wake up...... her voice choked, her throat aching, and she couldn't say anything more.
The long silence ate Mu Ningjiu's peace of mind little by little. What to do, what if he doesn't wake up?
Like a child wandering in the desert, she tirelessly asked herself this question, but no one answered. In the end, she herself was tired, and just sat in confusion on the dunes of the heart that had long since dried up, looking out at the boundless desert. I don't know what I'm looking forward to or wanting......
Suddenly, the hand is tight.
"Little fox." The voice is hoarse, but still low and magnetic. The familiar title seems to have been called a thousand times. Mu Ningjiu looked at Shang Jin with unfocused eyes, stunned.
That sound, soft and gentle, I don't really hear it, dream evil? Non-evil?
"Little fox." The voice sounded again. The starlight in Shang Jin's ink eyes is shining, reflecting the woman's face, and this alone is eternal.
Mu Ningjiu's eyelashes blinked, and the tears in his eyes suddenly burst the embankment and fell on his slightly pale face.
Shang Jin felt the wetness on her face, was stunned, stretched out her hand, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said softly: "Although I really want you to cry for me once, but... Now it seems that it is still enough. He struggled to stand up and looked at Mu Ning Jiu fixedly for a few seconds, like looking at a peerless treasure.
Suddenly, hug it.
He rested his head on her shoulder, the bitterness and sweetness in his heart were intertwined, and a deep voice sounded: "Little fox, don't cry, if you are like this, I will be distressed." Mu Ningjiu stretched out his hand, wrapped his neck tightly, took a deep breath, exhaled the turbidity in his lungs, and bent his lips: "Hmm." ”
The white light flashed, and four pieces of Xuanmu flew up and circled in the air. On the surface of the sea on the edge of the stone mountain, a few steps suddenly projected up, leading to an unknown blue vortex.
"It's Ice City! The opening time is limited, so let's go! Mu Changfeng shouted. Beigong Han picked up the unconscious Shen Wan and took the lead in running towards the steps.
Mu Ningjiu staggered to her feet, Yu Chi Xuan wanted to help her, but was blocked by her hand: "Yu Chi, I'm fine." She stood firm, wrapped Shang Jin's arms around her neck, and was about to pick him up.
Yu Chixuan said: "I'll come." Mu Ningjiu looked at Shang Jin, who nodded: "You go first, I'm fine." She stopped.
"Hurry up! The entrance is closing! Mu Changfeng stood at the mouth of the elliptical whirlpool and shouted anxiously. Mu Ningjiu was anxious when he saw the pale blue light that was gradually becoming transparent, and Shang Jin Weichi, who was moving up the steps step by step. If this mana is gone, the steps on the sea will also be gone, and then it will ......
Step by step, they disappeared into the air. Beneath his feet is the turquoise sea, like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to swallow the insignificant at any moment. At this time, Shang Jin stumbled, and Wei Chi was also shaken, and he slowed down. The steps on the soles of their feet disappeared, and the two of them were about to step into the void.
There was a strong force in their hands, and they were dragged forward. Mu Ningjiu shouted: "Hurry up! Come on! Wei Chi didn't dare to drag Shang Jin forward slowly, his feet were as heavy as lead, but he didn't slack off in the slightest.
"Whew-" Finally, the two of them walked up the last step and fell into the blue whirlpool, snorting and panting, they didn't feel it just now, and now they rested, and they were suddenly dizzy.
Mu Ningjiu's heart finally fell, and when she saw Shen Wan who was unconscious on the side, she remembered what happened before she fell into a coma, and frowned: "Before I fell into a coma... What's going on? What happened to Xiao Wan? ”
She ...... Cursed. Beigong Han spoke with difficulty, remembering what she said before, he was very guilty: "I'm sorry, the little girl told me before, if there is anything unusual, knock her out." If I hadn't stopped it in time, the little girl wouldn't have been manipulated, and you wouldn't have been hurt. ”
"It's not your fault, Beigong. We should have found out sooner. Mu Ningjiu said in a low voice. She looked up, and then she saw the scene of the ice city.
They are located halfway up a snow-capped mountain, covered with snow that is as soft as foam. The crystal particles are evenly distributed on the surface of the snow, shining in the sun. At a glance, under the snow-capped mountain, a transparent ice castle is towering, and the top of the castle is extremely sharp, like a sharp sword, revealing the fierceness of the forest. Further down are the snow-covered, unrecognizable villages, scattered in the snow. White seems to be the only color in the ice city, but it does not look boring, but makes people feel a sense of awe for no reason.
"This is the Ice City ......," Shang Jin muttered.
"This is Ice City?" Mu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, with a slight disdain in his words, and stood with his chest hugged.
"Let's go down the mountain first, it's extremely cold here, so it's not good to stay longer." Wei Chi said.
The snow-capped mountains do not melt all year round, and the snow is extremely thick. As soon as you step on it, your whole leg sinks in, and the snow reaches the base of your thigh. The cold wind blew so loudly that their noses, hands, and feet froze and they lost consciousness. It was March on the Shenzhou Continent, and they didn't bring any clothes to protect them from the cold, so they only wore two or three single clothes, and after a while, they were so cold that they couldn't say a word. You can only snuggle up to three or two people to walk forward to resist the cold.
Mu Ningjiu walked a few steps, and suddenly saw the hairy bush in front of him, and wondered: In such a cold environment, there are still plants that can survive? It's a good thing! If you take it back, you might even be able to make a good medicine......
