Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mysterious Woman
"Oh, it's a pity there are no beads. Lin Huai said with a sigh.
"It's good to have that, but you can't be greedy. Xu Wei patted Huai Nian on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"According to the previous agreement, each of the five of us will take a copy, and then pack up and prepare for the road. Xiao Jingjing looked up at the sky outside the cave and gave instructions for action.
After hearing Xiao Jingjing's instructions, everyone packed up one after another, hurriedly ate breakfast, left the cave where they camped, and began to search deeper below the snow stone cliff.
The rising sun shines a soft light, dispelling the fear of the unfamiliar environment in the middle of the night, giving everyone infinite courage.
The team continued to search down the road, and encountered many assessment teams along the way, but there were no superfluous words between each other, and most of them rushed away, looking quite nervous and distressed.
"It seems that the rest of the people have also found nothing, and they have also been attacked. Lin Jinqing said casually.
"There is no such professional Divine Arrow Reserve candidate in their team, and looking at the team that passed by just now, almost everyone was injured. ”
"Hee-hee-hee-----"
"It's good that we brought the remembrance senior, otherwise it wouldn't be much better. Long Xiaowu said with a grin.
"Nothing, nothing, don't say that. Lin Huaimian hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Hmm------"
"Do you feel that the deeper we go, the colder it gets. Xu Wei rubbed his hands and frowned.
"Look at the meat of your body, it should be more frost-resistant than ours!" Lin Jinqing said with his hands on his hips.
"Uh......"
"I don't know why, I'm not usually so afraid of the cold, and I don't know what's going on here. Xu Wei lowered his head and said helplessly.
"Well, being afraid of the cold is not a big deal, there is no need to be so entangled. Lin Huaimian curled the corners of his mouth and said.
"I'm a ......"
"Boom ------"
Xu Wei was about to say something, when a loud noise suddenly came from not far away, and everyone looked at each other and ran in that direction.
Xu Wei tightened his shirt, raised his legs and was about to follow, when suddenly a white light flashed in the sky, the light was extremely dazzling, Xu Wei habitually closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he suddenly found that he had lost the figure of his companion.
"Huh, when can they run so fast? I'll blink an eye, and the people are gone. Xu Wei said in surprise.
"Remembering ------"
"Jingjing ------"
"Senior Sister Lin------"
The voice echoed through the empty valley, but no reply was received.
"Strange ......"
"It was still by my side a moment ago, why did you suddenly disappear?"
"Ahh
Xu Wei looked back and saw a woman in white sitting not far away, looking extremely painful.
"Girl, are you alright?" asked Xu Wei as she approached the woman.
"Go away, don't come near me. The woman cried out in pain.
"Okay, good -------" Seeing this scene, Xu Wei stopped in place and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, girl, I'm not a bad person, I'm standing here, and I will never go over." ”
"Who are you and how did you get here?" the woman asked warily.
"My name is Xu Wei, I am a student of Peacock Valley Peacock Academy, and I am participating in the entrance assessment of the ten major sects. Because there have been a lot of disappearances of Orions in Snow Stone Cliff in recent days, the sect assessors have designated this place as the martial arts test assessment area, let us come to investigate. ”
"But just now there was a sudden flash of white light, and I couldn't see any trace of my companion in the blink of an eye, I wonder if the girl saw anyone passing by?" Xu Wei scratched his head and asked.
"It turned out to be a student of Peacock Academy, and I was rude. The woman replied embarrassedly.
"I live near the snow cliff, and a few days ago my brother went into the mountains to hunt, but he never returned. The woman said with tears in her eyes.
"Could it be that your brother is one of the missing Orions?"
"Well, he's missing too. The woman nodded, and then said, "Although I know that everyone has asked for help from the Peacock Academy, I am really worried about my brother's danger, so I came here quietly alone. But I walked in the mountains for a long time, but I never found any trace of my brother. Little brother, you said that my brother is him...... He...... Will he already be ......?"
"Woo......"
At this point, the woman couldn't help but cry out loud.
"Don't worry, girl, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and your brother will be fine. Xu Wei hurriedly comforted.
"Thank you, little brother. ”
"The wind and snow here are so big, I'm afraid that she can't support a weak woman for long, so it's better to send her home first, but I'm not familiar with this snow and stone cliff, and Jingjing and they don't know where to go......" Xu Wei thought to herself.
"Suddenly------
Xu Wei was thinking about it, when a strong wind suddenly blew, and the snow suddenly became heavier and heavier.
"Little brother, I don't see that you are wearing much, this ice and snow, your body will not be able to stand it after a long time. The woman saw Xu Wei shrink her neck and said, "There is a wooden house near here, which was built by my brother for winter hunting in the past, although it is simple, but it can also keep out the wind and snow. And there are animal skins and clothes he prepared in the house, which the little brother can just use to keep out the cold. If the little brother doesn't mind, it's better to go with me for the time being. ”
Xu Wei thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm in the assessment, so I can't delay time." And I just got lost with my companions, and if I leave, they will be even more anxious when they come back to look for me. ”
"Girl, why don't you go to the wooden house by yourself to avoid the wind and snow, and then I will take you home after I have a contract partner and complete the assessment. ”
"Little brother, you better come with me. The woman's face changed, and she stretched out her hand and waved it lightly in front of Xu Wei's eyes.
"What's the head, I suddenly feel a little dizzy" A gust of fragrant wind rushed into his nose, Xu Wei suddenly felt a flower in front ......of him, and his mind was a little unclear.
"There's old monkey wine hidden in that wooden house, why don't you come and have a drink, and you can warm up, okay?" said the woman with a strange expression.
"Monkey wine?"
"Isn't that something that makes the examiners of the sect worry about it, I want to ...... too" After speaking, Xu Wei fell to the ground.
"Sect disciple?"
"It's a good thing those guys didn't come with me this time. The woman curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
On the other side of the moment, when Xiao Jingjing and the others arrived at the area where the sound occurred, they found that nothing had happened around them at all.
"What's the situation?Hey, what about Xiao Wei?" Lin Huainian glanced at the crowd and suddenly found that there was no trace of Xu Wei.
"How can you do it! Although it's a little cold, it's not so cold that you can't open your legs and don't keep up!" Lin Jinqing said indignantly.
"Senior Sister Lin, you and Xu Wei were at the end at that time. If you think about it carefully, when did he not see, and whether there was anything unusual before he disappeared. Xiao Jingjing frowned and asked in detail.
"This -------"
"As soon as I finished talking to him, I heard a noise, and then I came with you, not noticing. Lin Jinqing shook her head and said.
"The wind and snow are bigger than just now, and it is inconvenient to see, and there are so many demon beasts in this mountain...... Let's go back to where we were and look for it. ”
"Jingjing, go back to the place you just now. He may have hesitated because of my joke, or maybe he was not far from the surrounding area, so I went around and looked around. Lin Jinqing said apologetically.
"No, this place is getting more and more dangerous, and we can't move separately. With Xiaowei's strength, as long as we are not besieged, there should be no problem, we still get together and look for the way we came. Lin Huaimin waved his hand at Lin Jinqing and suggested.
"So what are you waiting for, let's go. Long Xiaowu urged.
"Good. ”
