Qin Mo pinched the spirit and carefully probed the road in front of him on the ice, like a blind man. The three of them gradually separated, and no one was seen in their field of vision. The shore was finally full of people, and as soon as they heard that the second young master of the Xiao family had come to inspect in person, they all wanted to see the example of the "leader", and I believed that with this out, the workers would be able to return to their posts. But they couldn't see anything, the Lake of Tears was too big, and at some point a fog appeared on the ice, and after a while, it became a white expanse, which had never happened before.

Walking silently on the ice, away from the crowd, isolated from sight, as if he was the only one left in the world. I don't know how long it took, Qin Mo walked out of a bright red road and stood in a safe area to rest for a while, but his feet suddenly fell into two holes, as if they were custom-made for these feet, not big or small, and he couldn't pull them out for a while.

Fortunately, my feet still stepped on the deeper ice, and it stands to reason that with the climate of the Snow Country, it is not too much to freeze three feet. But just as Qin Mo was about to pry open the hole with his weapon, the surrounding ice began to melt rapidly, damn it, the temperature didn't rise in the fog, how could the ice start to melt?

Extremely cold, penetrating his heart, Qin Mo kept digging in a panic, hoping to touch the ice as soon as possible, but the ice above his head did not open, not only did not open his mouth, but it was gradually thickening! This shocked Qin Mo to forget the cold, and quickly opened his eyes. Sure enough, a large area of water above his head began to freeze, pressing him down, and he was terrified at the thought of a monster in this lake, and he trembled when he walked on the ice, but when he suddenly fell, half of his soul was frightened, and he felt like a drop of blood falling into the deep sea, and he would soon be sniffed by something.

The strange thing is that the dead lake under the thick ice is not dark and lightless, when Qin Mo opened his eyes, there were thousands of filaments glowing with blue light around him, like a weeping willow in the water from top to bottom, connecting the ice and the dark abyss. The ice surface continued to press down, and the glimmer of light that was still reflected outside increased as the depth increased.

After staying in the water for a long time, it is not as cold as on the ice, after all, the water will not fall below freezing. Now he has to find a way to get out, but no matter how he breaks the ice above, a new layer of ice will immediately form, and the heavy iceberg will press him into the abyss, this scene reminds him of the night in Qingxu, and he almost drowned, thinking of this, Qin Mo stopped struggling upward, but opened the Qiankun bag on his waist and searched desperately.

Unconsciously, the surrounding space has changed drastically, at first it was still a faint blue lake, how did it turn dark red at this moment, inadvertently looked down, as if there was a round behemoth, with bursts of crimson luster, and the outside was a larger circle of white, so big that it looked like an eyeball! No, it was an eyeball, and the whites of the eyes were bloodshot, and the red eyeballs reflected the depths of the dead lake into a dark red, like a hell.

Qin Mo, who was still holding his breath relatively easily, suddenly choked on a large mouthful of water, although there was no strange smell, but the thought of being soaked in the stagnant water for many years by such a disgusting thing below made his stomach turn over the river and the sea with his thoughts, and what was even worse was that he was still sinking, sinking to the center of the eyeball impartially. Seeing that his vision was about to be completely occupied by that red, Qin Mo finally found it, it was a lotus flower that was about to wither, and he hadn't touched it since he took it out in the Qingxu Hill Palace last time and took it out in Master Yaoguang's room for a while.

Rather suffer an illusion than merge with this "big eye" at the bottom of the lake, Qin Mo decided to give it a try, but it had been in the dark Qiankun bag for a long time, although this twin ghost lotus also grew in a place without light, but the rhizome was not nourished by water and fire, and this time when it was taken out, it was dying and about to wither.

"If you save my life this time, I'll add you a pot full of water. Qin Mo muttered silently in the water, not knowing if it could feel that this withered plant might be his only life.

A beam of red light suddenly rose in his hand, instantly shooting through the gloomy lake bottom space, and the red light that was a hundred times more dazzling than the red giant eyes filled the entire lake, Qin Mo could clearly see that the petals that were about to wither gradually stood up and stretched, and they were rejuvenated by the nourishment of the lake, and the space around the petals began to fluctuate, it was a raw flame!

In an instant, the lake water became warm, Qin Mo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately lifted the ghost lotus above his head, and the ice immediately melted and no longer condensed. The cold lake water became hot in an instant, and Qin Mo knew that if he didn't speed up his swim, the entire Star Tear Lake might turn into a sea of fire. Just as he was about to reach the surface of the lake, Qin Mo buried his head and glanced at the bottom of the lake that was so red and transparent, and the eye that occupied the entire bottom of the lake actually blinked alive!

"Brother Qin, you?"

When Qin Mo flew out of the hot spring-like water, Xiao Luozheng looked at him in surprise and joy, looking at this person who was soaked and steaming white.

Qin Mo glanced at the two people in front of him, his face was shocked and incredulous, he quietly put away the ghost lotus in his hand, but his mind was still stuck in the oppressive space under the lake, and now he finally understood what the "big eyes" were all about, fortunately, he was still quite conscious, his eyes were not blind, and there was still a trace of joy in escaping death, and he greedily looked at this icy and snowy world.

"When I came, Giselle said that he saw you fall into the lake, but the ice became thick and hard, and I was about to make a move and you came out on your own, nothing happened, right?" Xiao Luo squeezed his fist, the martial artist's fist is not a vegetarian.

Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the shore while telling the two of them about the things in the lake.

"So those big eyes are taking you down by manipulating the ice? This is also terrible, if I can manage the Xiao family in the future, I must abolish the property of this place. ”

Finally figured out that the ice blue grass on the Star Tears Lake was actually the bait of the big eyes, according to Qin Mo's inference, those blue filaments must be the tentacles of the outside world with big eyes or something, once a prey touches the ice blue grass, it may be dragged down by the big eyes.

"The second young master thinks well, if he gives up the Star Tears Lake, how will the Xiao family's economy compete with the Su family?" Giselle said.

Xiao Luo looked at him sideways for a while and said, "I never thought of fighting against the Su family or surpassing the Su family, I hope that the Xiao family can release their previous suspicions with the Su family under my leadership and get along in harmony." ”

When will it be the turn of the Xiao family for you to be an outsider to talk more, but for the sake of Giselle's deep trust from his father, Xiao Luo did not get angry. In Qin Mo's opinion, Xiao Luo's wish is unattainable, not to mention whether the Xiao and Su families can shake hands and make peace, that is, who the head of the Xiao family will be in the future, it is not clear that in Qin Mo's concept, this position should be passed on to the eldest son first. But if Xiao Luo can really have that day, it will really be a blessing for this low-level worker.

The trio walked up the hill, surrounded by the people on the shore, and said nothing about the lake, except that Giselle had strengthened all the high-risk ice. This mountain range can be described as a treasure trove of wild animals, such as mountain hares, wild deer, ferrets, brown bears, etc., lush forests, ice peaks and snowy mountains, and people who live here all year round make a living by hunting and enjoy the unique gifts of nature.

The Xiao family's camp is on the top of the mountain, and the aborigines on this mountain get along quite well, the Xiao family's camp is large-scale, twelve camps of all sizes occupy the entire mountaintop, the guards are well-trained, well-equipped, can manage labor operations internally, and can resist enemy invasion externally.

The Valley of the Sunless, as its name suggests, is a canyon with almost no sunlight in a day, between this mountain and the Falling God Snow Mountain. When pitching, a strong sense of drop followed, this Grand Canyon is embedded at the bottom of the world's highest mountain, countless iron platforms are built along the walls of the two mountains, dense people work back and forth at the bottom of the valley, goods are transported out of the cave, and the mechanical iron arm controlled by magic rises to different workbenches, dazzling color light emerges from everywhere, and the sound of laborers beating and grinding ore wanders between the canyons, the industrial scale of the Xiao family is not the first time Qin Mo has seen it, the project is such a huge snow mountain mine, the annual output value can account for 70% of the Xiao family's total industry, and he finally understood how a giant was formed。

The leaders came down to inspect, of course, they had to eat well, reflecting that the lives of the working people are happy and colorful, but even if Xiao Luo doesn't come, the people here eat well, after all, the Xiao family is not short of money. It's just that tonight's scene is particularly grand, and I heard that there will be a bonfire party, and for a while, it seems that people have forgotten the purpose of Xiao Luo's trip, not to celebrate but to mourn. Xiao Luo came as promised by Qin Mo for the food, this promise was really cheap for him, and Qin Mo also fulfilled his cheap promise when he was resting in the room, found a flower pot full of water and put it in the Qiankun bag, and raised the ghost lotus in it.

The bonfire party began, and finally we could eat delicious, and the Xiao family camp invited the nearby mountain people to enjoy this special event, praying for the deceased and the living. People sat on the ground, and there were large plates full of all kinds of meat on the ground in front of them, roast chicken thighs, roast suckling pig, roast whole sheep, braised beef, braised duck tongue, braised pork ribs, spicy rabbit head, steamed bear paws, braised venison, Qin Mo swallowed his saliva, and couldn't wait to make his hands full of oil, eat more when it was cold, and make up for it more when he was recuperating.

The bonfire party is nothing more than a group of people drinking wine and eating meat, dancing around the flames, as long as there is good food for Qin Mo, but after the noise, there seems to be a show, or it has only become popular in recent years, a choir composed of children of mountain people, when they came up, everyone was quiet, as if they didn't want to pollute the children's singing.
