The wind is howling.

The temperature is minus 32 degrees Celsius, and the dripping water turns into ice.

The dilapidated wooden house creaked in the wind, it was more than a hundred years old, too old.

Ma Xiaoling called it "Terranova".

More than 100 years ago, Captain Robert Falken Scott, the Eagle Nation explorer who built it, came to the Antarctic continent on a ship called Terranova to embark on the first adventure in human history to reach the South Pole.

Sadly, Captain Scott lost the competition to Norvi explorer Ronald Amundsen, and he and four other members of the team died of starvation and cold. Their fate is arguably the most tragic in the history of Antarctic exploration.

This is a tragic place where the cottage has been left unattended for many years.

Compared to the research stations set up by various countries on the Antarctic continent, it is too dilapidated.

More than 100 years ago, butter had been frozen into hard lumps like stones at low temperatures, and only some faint handwriting could be found on the wrapped burlap bags.

There is also a darkroom for film processing and some experimental equipment in the corner. This was all high-tech back then, and now it has long been obsolete by the times, just like Robert Falken Scott, people only remember Ronald Amundsen who successfully reached the South Pole, unless he has a strong interest in the continent of Antarctica, who will remember a loser?

Another gust of wind blew, and Ma Xiaoling wrapped the deerskin and blanket on his body.

Fortunately, although the house is old, the materials used to build it were sturdy, and all the crevices were filled with seaweed chips to withstand the pervasive wind and cold.

The wood in the stove is burning, bringing a barely warm warmth, and the snow and ice in the pot have melted, and you can make a cup of tea later.

Ma Xiaoling silently looked at the burning fire, and suddenly remembered Gao Fei and Yiyi.

Are they okay?

It has been five months since he left Fandu, and for Ma Xiaoling, it seems like five years have passed.

In five months, she quickly transformed from a white-collar woman in a big city, a virtuous wife and a gentle mother to a witcher.

This is the life she has tried her best to avoid since she was a child, but after all, she can't resist the entanglement of fate and blood, and finally has no choice but to compromise.

It's just that she misses Goofy and Yiyi all the time, and the hard-hearted heart when facing the demon seed and the liver and intestines that miss her relatives are integrated into her life, which makes her extremely difficult.

Many times she wanted to run back to Mortal, but she couldn't.

She had something too heavy on her shoulders to turn around, breathe, or escape.

"Gurgling", the water boiled.

Ma Xiaoling lifted the deerskin and blanket, revealing a strong suit that was close to his body.

Thanks to high-tech thermal underwear, demon hunters can keep their bodies light in extremely cold environments, and women can still maintain good figures.

Ma Xiaoling stood up, she was 1.7 meters tall, 8 centimeters shorter than Gao Fei, but her legs were 1.05 meters long, which was called the golden ratio.

Pour a cup of hot water into the thermos cup and open the self-heating lunch box.

Under the chemical reaction, the cold rice and solidified vegetables gradually melt and heat, and they are no longer as hard as stones.

A burst of aroma wafted up, Ma Xiaoling swallowed his saliva, and drank a large mouthful of hot water first to warm his stomach.

Suddenly, her eyes became solemn, and she glanced at the heated lunch box with some regret, and waved her hand lightly.

A gust of wind erupted from her palm, extinguishing the fire.

At the same time, Ma Xiaoling had already grown up, grabbed the cloak on the ground with one hand and covered his body, and put the other hand on the weapon at his waist.

The wind was howling, and the cabin was screaming hoarsely, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

In the sound of the wind, Ma Xiaoling listened attentively, and there was the movement of footsteps on the ice and snow.

The voice came closer and closer, and finally came to the door of the hut and stopped.

Ma Xiaoling's left arm was flat on his chest, and his right index finger landed on the spring of his left wrist, which was the activation device of the "Demon Shattering Crossbow", which would fire twelve silver sharp thorns when pressed.

The footsteps were no longer heard, but there was a slight gasp mixed in with the wind.

Ma Xiaoling held her breath, very calm, and her arms did not shake at all.

"It's me. Suddenly, a deep voice sounded outside the door.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ma Xiaoling's eyes, and he slowly lowered his arm and said, "Come in." ”

The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and someone broke in with the wind and snow.

The wind blew in, and everything was blown to the ground.

The man slammed the door shut, shutting the wind and snow behind it, and then he let out a sigh of relief, "I almost froze to death!"

Ma Xiaoling didn't make a sound, re-lit the fire, turned around and grabbed the lunch box, and ate it in a big gulp.

The man swallowed his saliva, unloaded the huge backpack he was carrying, turned out an energy bar, and took a bite with a sad face.

The two of them were silently doing their own things as if they didn't know each other, and the atmosphere in the wooden house was very strange.

After half an hour, the man gnawed off the energy bar, and then he was satisfied with the thick hat on his head, revealing a very handsome face covered with wind and frost.

He is about thirty years old, and although he has a dense layer of short stubble on his chin, he can't hide the elegant temperament of a noble son.

Because of the cold, the snow-white skin is slightly red and blue, which adds a bit of cold luxury.

The noble prince glanced at Ma Xiaoling stupidly, and suddenly said, "There are still seven hours." ”

Ma Xiaoling said without raising his head: "After this mission is completed, I will take a vacation." ”

"Yes. I'll arrange for you, do you want to go to Maldives or Hawaii, or Mauritius is also good, the last time I went to Mauritius, the scenery is very good. The noble prince nodded.

"I'm going to Vandu. Ma Xiaoling said.

The noble prince was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually turned cold: "No." ”

"I just look at them from afar, just one glance!" Ma Xiaoling suddenly became excited, "You can't never let me see them, right?"

"What did you promise us at the beginning?" the noble prince said coldly, "You are shouldering the responsibility of the Ma family, the responsibility of the Demon Hunting Dragon Clan, you can't just do it casually!"

Ma Xiaoling was stunned for a few seconds, stood up abruptly, and walked out.

"Where are you going?" shouted the noble son.

Ma Xiaoling pushed open the door and walked into the snow without looking back, and dropped a sentence: "I don't want to stay with a disgusting person like you!"

The noble prince stared at her back, and suddenly shouted: "There are still seven hours!"

......

Goofy looked at the map given by the Star Destroyer strangely, completely incomprehensible.

Why is Ma Xiaoling on the Antarctic continent, and inland?

The Star Destroyer will definitely not make a mistake, so the question arises, what is she going to do in Antarctica?

And since she is a demon hunter, is she also a demon hunter?

No way!

Gao Fei can't wait to book a plane ticket right away, go to Antarctica, and pick up Ma Xiaoling back!
