Chapter 15: Xiaobai
Ye Shi'er carried Ye Xiaotian and just got into the water curtain of the thousand-foot waterfall. After a cold, powerful sensation of impact. Ye Xiaotian's body first loosened the ground, and then he felt a cold wind blowing on his body, and his body couldn't help but tremble. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked by what he saw again.
Inside this waterfall, there is another cave!
It is an almost completely frozen cave, and the cave is very high, almost half the height of the waterfall outside. The inside is still very large, almost hundreds of zhang wide. Slowly stretch into the distance until you can't see it. The cold wind blew from the depths of the cave. The entire cave was almost frozen into a world of ice and snow.
Ye Xiaotian only felt that the place he came from was too empty, like a dream, and it gave him an unreal feeling. He subconsciously pinched his face, and only after feeling the pain did he believe that he was indeed in such a dream-like place.
At this time, Ye Shi'er in front turned around and asked with concern, "Xiaotian, is it cold?"
To be honest, entering such an ice and snow world, not to mention that when he hit the waterfall before, he was already soaked, Ye Xiaotian only felt cold and shivering, but with Sister Shi'er's concern, his heart was warm, and he didn't feel too cold, and smiled at the moment: "I'm not cold!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Shi'er gave him a blank look, and said fiercely: "I feel cold, don't you feel cold?" Ye Xiaotian was speechless and speechless.
After a long period of embarrassment, Ye Xiaotian came to his senses, he looked at the ice-like world, and asked suspiciously, "Sister Shi'er, why are we ...... Come to this place?"
Ye Shi'er laughed and said, "Of course, coming to this place is a big surprise for my only brother!" Ye Xiaotian didn't know why, but at this time, Ye Shi'er sacrificed Chixia again, and her body leaned over directly, grabbed Ye Xiaotian, and jumped on Chixia again.
"Xiaotian, it's so cold, you hug it tightly!" Feeling Ye Xiaotian's somewhat restrained hug, Ye Shi'er couldn't help frowning and said in a deep voice.
"Oh!" Ye Xiaotian replied flatly, but his heart was full of joy. No longer hesitated at the moment, and directly clung to Ye Shi'er. Although the cold wind blowing beside him had frozen his ears purple, Ye Xiaotian's heart was undoubtedly the warmest at this moment.
Ye Shi'er carried Ye Xiaotian to fly in this ice and snow cave for a while. Ye Xiaotian felt that the thickness of the ice cubes beside him was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold wind next to his ears was gradually getting a lot bigger, he couldn't help but worry about Ye Shi'er, after all, Ye Shi'er was the sword in front, and the impact of the cold wind must be greater, he was about to ask out loud, but he heard Ye Shi'er in front of him suddenly say: "Hey, that egg is actually here?"
There was surprise in her voice, and it seemed that even she was surprised by it. Ye Xiaotian was feeling strange, but saw that Ye Shi'er had already landed on the ice with a sword. He noticed that the cave was much narrower when it came to this place, so the cold wind blowing from the depths of the cave was also much denser, no wonder it felt colder and colder.
was distracted, and suddenly heard Ye Shi'er shouting: "Hey, Xiaotian, come and see!" He hurriedly turned his head to look over, only to see Ye Shi'er standing not far away, and at her feet, there was a strange giant egg. The dome was so long that it could fit almost a barrel.
"Sister Shi'er, what kind of egg is this?" Ye Xiaotian ran over and asked curiously.
"Haha, guess?"
"Hmm, Sister Shi'er, just tell me!" Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, but he couldn't think of anything.
Ye Shi'er glared at him, and said angrily: "Hmph, you still have a spirit beast, you don't even know the egg of the spirit beast!"
"Huh? is this...... What kind of spirit beast is the egg of a spirit beast?" Ye Xiaotian asked in surprise. He had heard that Chu Mengxue say that spirit beasts were considered rare species in Kyushu, but they were only said to be rare species, but how could he easily encounter two? He had to seriously doubt the reliability of that brutal girl's words.
Ye Shi'er shook her head and said, "I only know that this is the egg of a spirit beast, and I don't know what kind of spirit beast it is!" but ......" After a pause, he suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you know if you open it?"
"Hm, isn't that okay?"
"What's wrong, let's be honest, this spirit beast egg and I discovered it two years ago, and its location was still deeper in this cave, I don't know how it came here. But when I said I wanted it, Shi Niang told me that this spirit beast egg was not fully mature, and it was still hatching inside, and it would take at least a year or two for it to fully hatch, so I didn't open it at that time. Now, the time has come, it's time for it to show its true face!"
Listening to the sound of "ding", like the sound of gold and iron clashing, Ye Shi'er held Chixia and retreated a few steps, and her mouth was even more painful, but the spirit beast giant egg only had a slight white mark on it.
"Sister Shi'er, how are you?" Ye Xiaotian asked with concern.
Ye Shi'er shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just that the soul seems to have been eroded by the cold just now, and it's a little uncomfortable!" She rubbed her head, but instead stared at the giant egg angrily, and said fiercely: "Hmph, I didn't expect the shell of this stinky spirit beast egg to be quite strong, I want to see if this eggshell is hard, or my Chixia is hard!"
So, after Ye Xiaotian's ineffective persuasion, Ye Shi'er resolutely started the crusade against the giant dome, with simple flat chopping, with condensed spiritual power, and also knocking hard, when the sound was endless, from time to time mixed with Ye Shi'er's painful cry. But until Ye Shi'er was tired and out of breath, the giant egg was like the earth, not moving at all.
Ye Xiaotian finally had another chance to say his feeble persuasion, "Sister Shi'er, forget it, it's not too late for us to follow!"
Who knew that Ye Shi'er was on the bar with this giant egg, and when she heard this, her spirit was shocked again, and she snorted, and said, "I don't believe in fighting it!" Just when Ye Xiaotian thought that she was going to start the repeated beating again, Ye Shi'er suddenly walked to the depths of the cave, and after a while, she turned back again, and there was already a frozen boulder in her hand. Moving the almost one-person-high boulder with both hands, Ye Shi'er showed a satisfied smile and slowly moved to the front of the dome.
Ye Xiaotian didn't know why, but he saw that Ye Shi'er suddenly slammed into the giant egg. With a bang, the dome could no longer stand still, and rolled forward. And at this time, Ye Shi'er pulled him to jump onto Chixia again, and her cheerful voice came from her mouth, "Let's go, let's go outside to pick it up!"
Ye Shi'er carried Ye Xiaotian and galloped quickly. Soon, the two of them came out of the cave and waited outside the waterfall for a while, the rumbling sound gradually became louder and closer, and soon, a white giant egg rolled out of the waterfall. Ye Shi'er's eyes were quick, her left hand held Ye Xiaotian, and her right hand collected Chixia, and slapped it at the giant egg, with a huge force, the giant egg was pulled out of the waterhole and landed on the grass by the waterhole. It's just that the two of them inevitably fell into the pool, wet thoroughly, and also frozen, the water in this pool is extremely cold, almost comparable to the cold wind in the cave.
Fortunately, the waterhole was not wide, and the two were able to climb ashore quickly. It's just that as a result, both of their lips are frozen purple, and their eyes are a little weak. Looking at each other's embarrassment, the two of them both looked at each other and smiled. A really innocent smile only exists at this age! Whether the warmth of this moment can still exist in the future, and whether the smile of this moment can be reproduced in the future. It's just that these two innocent people couldn't have imagined it.
The two laughed for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill coming from beneath them. Both of them were stunned, and hurriedly looked down, only to see that after a while, the ground under them had already formed a thin layer of ice. And the initiator is naturally the spirit beast giant egg not far away.
"Hmm, why is the cold of this strange egg so heavy, even this grass can be frozen?" Ye Shi'er looked at the giant egg and said in surprise.
"Sister Shi'er, what should we do then? It's so cold, how can we get it back?" Ye Xiaotian also looked at the giant dome and said worriedly.
"Well, haha, Sister Shi'er has her own way!" Ye Shi'er laughed, and then ordered: "Xiaotian, let's use internal qi to dry our clothes first, if you stick to your body like this, you will catch a cold!"
"Hmm!" Ye Xiaotian nodded, and at that moment, the two of them used their internal qi to force out the cold qi in their bodies, and they also dried their clothes by the way. When Ye Xiaotian opened his eyes, Ye Shi'er did not sit still, but walked to a tree by the waterhole, ready to use Chixia to cut down the branches of the tree.
Although he didn't know why Ye Shi'er wanted to cut that branch, when he saw Ye Shi'er using the flying sword as a firewood knife, he also felt very sorry for Chixia in his heart. However, just when he thought that the branches should be broken together, there was an unexpected scene.
I only heard the sound of "boom", and it was like the sound of gold and iron clashing. The branch was cut down by the sword, and it was unharmed. But Ye Shi'er's Chixia was trembling, and the "buzzing" sound was non-stop.
He was feeling strange, but he saw that Ye Shi'er suddenly threw away Chixia, hugged her head tightly, her face showed a look of horror, and her mouth screamed incessantly. He panicked, hurriedly ran over, hugged Ye Shi'er, and said, "Sister Shi'er, what's wrong with you?" Who knew that Ye Shi'er was unconscious, and she still yelled incessantly, but this situation directly scared Ye Xiaotian, holding Ye Shi'er didn't know what to do, but fortunately after a while, Ye Shi'er was tired and fainted directly.
Ye Xiaotian panicked, and hurriedly touched his snort, and after sensing that there was still breathing, he was also greatly relieved. It's just that I was faintly worried in my heart, "Why did Sister Shi'er suddenly get out of control like this, what the hell is that strange tree, not only is it as hard as iron, but it has also hit Sister Shi'er hard!"
He looked at the strange tree, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. This strange tree is intertwined and stout. However, there is a strange absence of a leaf on it. Moreover, the cold air from the giant egg had covered an area around it with a thin layer of ice, but within three feet of the strange tree, the cold air could not invade at all. At this time, the Chixia who was thrown down by Ye Shi'er was lying quietly near the strange tree.
Ye Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but pick up Chixia. I felt a warm feeling coming from my hands, which made people feel so uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and slowly walked back to Ye Shi'er, not noticing that an evil black gas on the red glow quietly penetrated his arm.
When Ye Shi'er woke up again, it was already three hours later, and the scorching sun had already turned orange-red, putting on a glow coat for the two of them. This space seems to be suddenly quiet and terrifying.
"Xiaotian, how long have I been asleep?" Ye Shi'er opened her eyes and asked in a trance.
"Soon!" Ye Xiaotian replied with a smile.
"It's not long before the sun goes down!" Ye Shi'er seemed to be extremely weak, and even if she taught a lesson, she was weak and soft. "You've been holding me like this afternoon!"
Ye Xiaotian's face turned red when he was said, and he hurriedly replied: "No, no, I ......"
"Forget it, you weren't born to lie, how can I not see it!" Ye Shi'er interrupted him with a smile, but instead sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect that I, who is a sister, would want your younger brother to take care of me!"
"No, Sister Shi'er is just weak for a while, you are much stronger than Xiaotian and me!" Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said. It's just that, looking at this smile with a faint sadness, how much he wants to say, "Sister Shi'er, even if you let Xiaotian take care of you for the rest of your life, Xiaotian is very willing!"
"Alas, I don't know what's wrong, just now I suddenly felt that my soul was invaded, as if I had fallen into the Nine Hells and was bitten by ten thousand ghosts. That strange tree looks very strange, don't touch it!"
Seeing that she was so weak, but she couldn't help but care about herself, Ye Xiaotian's heart hurt again, he glanced at the strange tree, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Shi'er, let's go back! It's getting late!"
"Hmm...... Huh?" Ye Shi'er nodded, and was about to agree, but as if she remembered something, she asked, "What about the giant egg?"
"Hmm, this ......" Ye Xiaotian didn't answer, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the giant dome. Naturally, Ye Shi'er also saw this giant egg. She tried to get up, but she didn't seem to have any strength in her body, and as soon as she stood up, she fell straight down. It's just that she didn't lie down, she still insisted on standing up. After a few times, Ye Shi'er finally stood up slowly with that stubbornness.
"Sister Shi'er, let's go back, this spirit beast egg, it's not too late for us to get it tomorrow!" Looking at the crumbling back, Ye Xiaotian already had tears in his eyes, Sister Shi'er, you treat me like this, how can I forget you?
"No, Xiaotian, as my sister, I haven't given you a good thing yet, this spirit beast egg will be a gift from Sister Shi'er!" Ye Shi'er's weak figure came out with her stubborn words at this time.
It seemed to be moved by this deep love between sisters and brothers, and the spirit beast giant egg, which had not moved at all, suddenly trembled. And the tremor amplitude became bigger and bigger, and finally, there was a "poof", and the hard shell shattered in response to the sound. Then, a small white bird slowly came out of the giant egg, this little white bird is different from other newborn birds, it is not only full of feathers, but it can also fly in the air, but its speed is too slow, it is estimated that it can be caught as long as you stretch out your hand. It doesn't matter how fast it flapps its wings.
Ye Xiaotian noticed that the little white bird actually flew in the direction where he was, and although it flew very slowly, it still gradually approached him.
"Hey, Xiaotian, it seems to like you very much, why don't you just give it a name now!" Ye Shi'er on the side saw this scene and said with a smile.
"This ...... Not good!" Ye Xiaotian hesitated.
"What's wrong, anyway, Sister Shi'er believes that you will definitely take care of it!"
"That'...... Just call it Xiaobai!" Ye Xiaotian looked at the little white bird that landed on his shoulder, thought about it and said.
And at this time, he didn't know that this little white bird would accompany him through that lonely long journey.
