It's past the summer season, and the summer heat is gradually revealed. After crossing a blue lake, they entered a valley that was as beautiful as the jewel left by the Nine Heavenly Fairies. On both sides of the valley are high mountains, as steep as a knife and axe. Outside the valley, it was a scorching heat, and as soon as you entered the valley, there was a biting cold wind blowing.

He hugged the wolf king crookedly, and asked in a trembling voice, "What kind of place is this, why is it so cold?"

Han Bai jumped off the wolf's back and looked around vigilantly: "This should be Death Valley, legend has it that through Death Valley, you can reach the Netherworld's Gate. ”

The wolf king's animal instinct told it that this place was extremely dangerous, and it instinctively retreated, and said to the crooked: "There may be no return to this road." ”

Crooked said lightly: "I know." He turned over and got off the wolf's back and said to the wolf king, "Don't follow me anymore." ”

The wolf king was slightly angry: "What are these words! When the wolf king said this, he was taken aback, and thought about the situation when he first met, he was bent on eating her.

Han Bai said: "Crookedly is right, you don't have to follow, you just wait at the mouth of the valley, waiting to answer us." If something happens, I can still rely on you to escape. Don't worry, I'll try to protect her with me. Besides, even if you follow, it won't help much. ”

The wolf king was dissatisfied: "Are you underestimating me?"

Han Bai shook his head and said very seriously: "I value you." Just like on the battlefield, you need to have a striker and you need to break the latter, both are equally important. ”

The wolf king stared at Han Bai with a strange gaze and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time." ”

He patted the wolf king crookedly, didn't say goodbye, and stubbornly moved forward against the wind. The wolf king looked at her back, and his heart swelled with emotion. Han Bai glanced deeply at the wolf king, and then hurriedly followed the crooked.

Two figures, one large and one small, drifted away in the cold wind of the hollow valley, and finally disappeared.

When you first enter the valley, you can still see some animals and plants, and the more you walk, the more rare you see. As you go on, you can see withered trees and flowers, and dead animals. And the wind is getting stronger and colder. After walking a little further, snow began to fall in the valley, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker under his feet. It is common to see snow in the mountains in the summer, but it is rare to see snow in the valleys in the summer.

Although Han Bai is a god, he has never been to the Netherworld, so it is also a strange spectacle for him.

Crookedly hugged himself tightly and struggled to move forward in the wind and snow. Han Bai came behind her, silently unwrapped her shirt, and grabbed her. Crooked stopped, stunned for a moment, glanced at Han Bai, lowered his gaze again, and continued to move forward.

As he walked, Crooked suddenly kicked a hard object, and a corner of black cloth appeared on the snow. Crooked and curious, he leaned over, grabbed the cloth, and tugged at it violently, but he didn't move. Seeing this, Han Bai reached out to help pull it. Suddenly, a dead body was pulled out of the snow.

Crookedly thought it was the corpse monster under the snow again, and subconsciously held down the sword.

Han Bai said: "Don't be nervous, it's just a dead corpse." "I kicked it tentatively with my foot, and there were several more on the side, all frozen into the same dried corpses. And their clothes were torn, as if they had been cut by claws or blades, but there was no scar on them.

It's so weird!

"What's going on?"

Even the well-informed Hanbai shook his head.

Crooked felt uneasy: "Could it be a demon?"

Han Bai teased her: "You're not an exorcist, you're still afraid that demons won't work." ”

"How could I be afraid. Raise her face crookedly, ignore Han Bai, go out first, Han Bai follow, let her walk slowly, so as not to step on the place where she shouldn't be stepped.

Further on, the valley became narrower and narrower, allowing only one person to pass, and there was only a glimmer of light overhead. Walking and walking, further and further down, further and further down, and then to the entrance of an underground cavern.

Han Bai grabbed Crooked, protected her behind him, and then entered the cave. It was still cold at the entrance to the cave, and the warmer it got inside, and there was the sound of gurgling water. Han Bai and Crooked walked straight to the end of this underground cavern, only to find that there was no way.

Crookedly turned to Han Bai: "Are we going wrong?"

"I don't know. You stand still, I'll look around. Han Bai said, turning around and walking deeper into the darkness.

I was dumbfounded in front of me, and I couldn't see what Hanbai was doing, so I could only wait in place. I waited for a long time, but I didn't see him come back. I was a little anxious, and I shouted his name, but without a response, I walked in the direction where he disappeared. After walking for a long time, I didn't look at Hanbai, but walked to an underground dark river, the river was turbulent and ringing in my ears. Crookedly turned around and looked around blankly: "It's also a dead end, how could he not bump into Han Bai?

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard Han Bai's voice in the water: "Crooked." ”

Crooked hurriedly turned around, and saw a black figure in the sparkling water, so he said slightly: "Why did you run into the water?"

The black shadow stretched out a hand and beckoned to the crooked, the movement was slow and strange: "You come down too, come." ”

Crooked inexplicably, he felt that something was wrong, but the voice was indeed Han Bai's. She took two more steps forward, trying to see the people in the clear water, but she couldn't see clearly.

Suddenly, something seemed to be grabbing her ankle, and she had just lowered her head, and before she could see what it was, the person had been dragged into the water. A huge force dragged her downward, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free. I bent down and felt something around my ankle, which was sticky and cold to the touch. Crookedly, the thing seemed to be shaken, and with a violent flick, the crooked throw out, only for a moment, and surrounded her again. He dragged her down, faster than he had just done.

Now Crooked had recovered some of his panic and reached for his sword. As if the ankle-wrapped monster had seen through her crooked thoughts, another black shadow swept in, wrapping around her hand and separating her hand from her sword.

Crooked can't, can only hope for the last move, shouting: "Hanbai! Hanbai!"

As she was shouting, a shadow darker than darkness surged in front of her, opened its hollow mouth, pointed it at her mouth and nose, and began to suck the essence of the spiritual source. Thick white gas came out of the crooked breath and entered the black monster's mouth. Crooked felt as if he had been in a nightmare, his head was clear, and he tried desperately to resist, but his body couldn't move.

With the flow of essence, the crooked body weakened, and a fierce fear hit the heart: No, I can't die here.

With all her strength, she finally moved her fingers, and then, with a sudden burst of power, broke free from the nightmare that bound her, and reached for the hilt of her sword. At this moment, another dense black shadow floated in, sucking in the crooked. Crooked fell into the magic of immobility again, and for a moment, it was as if his body had been emptied. Despair rose in her heart, and she felt that she could not hold out for long.

In the darkness in front of him, there was a faint dark shadow floating towards him. crooked, he said: Two is enough, and three are afraid that I will die. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a dazzling white light burst out from the black shadow, and the white light pierced the endless darkness. Crooked felt that the restraints on his body had dissipated, and the monster that was haunting him had disappeared without a trace. But the body was already weak, sinking uncontrollably, and then fell into a familiar embrace.

"Hanbai, you're finally here. I, I thought you, left me and left. ”

Han Bai smiled, his voice as gentle as the rising sun: "I won't." ”

Crooked slowly closed his eyes, and muttered sadly: "Don't, leave me." Don't leave me behind. ”

When Crooked opened his eyes again, he found that there was another world in front of him, flying sand and thick clouds, like a desert.

Seeing that she woke up, Han Bai stepped forward to help her up, still in a warm and soft voice: "You are awake." ”

The crooked fox stared at him suspiciously, and his body retreated slightly to dodge: "You won't be a fake Hanbai again, right?" How could the real Hanbai be so gentle. ”

Han Bai lowered his face: "Really, be nice to you, you misunderstand me like this." ”

Crookedly pulled Han Bai's face, still suspicious: "Are you really really Han Bai?"

Han Bai frowned: "What about tongue twisters?"

"Then who pretended to be you just now, led me to the water's edge, and dragged me into the water?" Crooked thought of the feeling of not being able to move, and was still frightened, "Moreover, they have absorbed my spiritual power, and I don't even have the strength to resist." ”

Han Bai said: "That's a spirit monster, which can see through people's minds, confuse, and then absorb essence and spiritual power." They also pretended to be you and led me into the water, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I guess I would have been like you. The Regents are guarding the Netherworld, which proves that we are not on the wrong track. ”

"What can I do about this, I lost so much spiritual power before I entered the Netherworld, it's really a disadvantage. Crooked pursed his lips unhappily.

Han Bai's face was also gloomy, the road was dangerous, and with the crooked appearance now, it must be a dead end, and he didn't even have to think about it. Han Bai was about to open his mouth to persuade Crooked to dispel the idea of saving his mother, Crooked suddenly patted his head, thought of something, took out the black cloth bag from his arms with great interest, and shook it in front of Han Bai's eyes: "Hehe, I forgot that there is a baby." ”

The moment he opened the bag crookedly, Han Bai's face was gloomy, and his smile rose: "Haiyunzhu, how can you have Haiyunzhu!"

The crooked eyes and bones rolled around, and he said, "Well, on the day I left the Dragon Palace, I went to your room to put on my clothes, and then, by the way, took a few." ”

"You stole my stuff. ”

Crooked eyebrows: "How can this be called stealing, I just piggyback on my hand and took a few." Anyway, you have so much, you can't use it up, don't you? ”

"Clever words. If you take it without telling it, you steal, and you still quibble. ”

Spread his hands crookedly, and simply broke the jar: "Okay, okay." I just stole it, what can you do with me. ”

"You ——!" Han Bai rolled his eyes and hooked his lips evilly, "As long as you kiss me, I, Lord Han Bai, will be a large adult, and I will not blame the past." ”
