Mingjie pulled Lan Xiaoqing, and he didn't know how long he had been running. Not far ahead, a village also appeared.

Mingjie relaxed slightly, and his steps slowly stabilized. Stop under a large tree. Mingjie covered his knees with his hands and gasped desperately for a while, sweat dripping. Mingjie looked up at Lan Xiaoqing.

"I don't know where it is. ”

In the village ahead, there are a few blue rubble houses, which contrast with the large trees next to them. The whole village is hidden among the green trees, and it seems to be very peaceful.

"Let's go and have a look. Lan Xiaoqing's lips were tightly closed, and her eyebrows were furrowed as she looked at the village in front of her. After a long time of running, the two of them also gradually felt tired.

Ming Jie and Lan Xiaoqing slowed down and walked over, and they walked in front of an older thatched house. Mingjie walked up the steps in front of the door.

Mingjie stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the turquoise wooden door.

The village was extremely calm, and the crisp sound of percussion echoed for a long time, which was extremely incompatible with the calm atmosphere of the scene.

After a long time, a crack was faintly opened in the turquoise door. A woman was half-leaning against the door, peeking through the crack.

"Auntie, can you give me a sip of water to drink?" Mingjie's voice was steady, and his eyes were very sincere.

The woman's brow furrowed, and her eyes seemed to be looking at something. The woman looked nervous and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Mingjie, and I was abducted to this unfamiliar place. I also hope that my aunt can give me a sip of water to drink. ”

"They don't look like bad people, let them in. At this moment, a man poked his head into the crack of the door and said.

The woman opened the door, but her eyes still fell on the sword that was randomly placed on Mingjie's body.

The woman and her husband served Ming Jie and Lan Xiaoqing very delicious food, hot fish and pork. Mingjie and Lan Xiaoqing sat next to the table, and the woman's husband accompanied them. The host's children also ran to the man's lap and frolicked. In the mouth of the male protagonist of the house, Ming Jie learned that they had traveled hundreds of kilometers from the south to the north. Here, the demons have already attacked from the North El Line. The demons are brutal by nature, and they are also raging everywhere they go, so the people in this area have become panicked.

After Mingjie and Lan Xiaoqing suffered many twists and turns, they felt very happy to eat hot food. After a short break, it was time for Mingjie and them to think about their next step.

"Do you still want to go back to the south?" asked the man in the house.

"Eun, yes. Mingjie said without thinking.

"It's okay. Now that the north is in such chaos, many young and strong people are trying to flee to the south. ”

"Let's take a break here. Let's go again tomorrow. The man added.

"Uh-huh, that bothered. Mingjie scratched the back of his head.

After dinner, Mingjie walked out to rest. The small village is still very deserted, and only a few people can be seen occasionally. None of them seemed to be in high spirits.

Mingjie sighed and walked along the cottage, through a forest of silverneedle pines, and gradually to an open meadow. The meadow is a small patch, hidden among a forest of silverneedle pines. The silverneedle pine forest is different from ordinary pine trees in that its needles are silvery, like a silvery-white color covered with snowflakes.

The moonlight shines through the pine forest and falls, casting a shadow of light. Among the pine forests, the fog at night rises in gusts, and the moonlight shrouds it, which is quite magical.

"Take a break. ”

Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as his whole body let go, he slept heavily on the grass. Above the sky, the stars are like a bucket, bright and dazzling. At night, the cool breeze was blowing, and the cool breeze blew Mingjie's hair, and Mingjie also felt very comfortable.

Mingjie took a pendant out of his pocket and held it in front of his eyes. The blue gemstone pendant looks very close to the deep blue sky. The pendant was shining in the starlight, and Mingjie looked at the pendant with a lot of thoughts.

This delicate pendant was given to Mingjie by Hatsuun.

The breeze swayed the leaves, and the occasional insect chirped. In the quiet night, Mingjie was asleep, and Mingjie came to a hazy world in a daze.

In an ethereal dream. Mingjie walks on the ground inside a cave. The light of this cave is a little dim, and it is surprisingly large, and Mingjie has not walked out for a long time.

The decoration of this cave is very strange, which Mingjie has never seen before. On the stone pillars on the stone wall, you can occasionally see some horned and hideous faces. In some places, Sanskrit characters are engraved that others can't understand.

"Tsk. ”

Ming Jie looked around, and suddenly became a little dry. Mingjie continued to walk, and in a slightly brighter place, a man with black hair appeared in front of him. Looking at the man's back, Mingjie's lips moved slightly: "Uncle, where is it?"

The man turned his head slightly and smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This is a dream, you can call me Meng Lao." ”

"Dream Lao?" Mingjie was stunned for a moment. Suddenly falling into this realm, he is still a little uncomfortable.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mingjie. Meng Lao smiled slightly.

"Are you waiting for me?" Mingjie asked.

"Yes. Meng Lao raised his arm and glanced at his slender fingers casually. Then he took out a fiery red hedron in his pocket.

"Eat it. This is a ninety-nine Spiral Fire Crystal. Meng Lao stretched out his hand slightly, and Ming Jie also pulled out the five fingers he had inserted into his hair, catching this crystal that looked very precious.

"This heaven-level whirling fire crystal is made from twelve flowing fires after ninety-nine tempering, it is extremely hot, and it is condensed by the crystal qi of the Yan Emperor in the four major halls of the demon race. Just enough to expel the seal of the Ice Emperor in your body. ”

The seal of the Ice Emperor, hearing this, Ming Jie's hand that grabbed the spar trembled slightly.

Looking at the obviously changed look on Ming Jie's face, Meng Lao also smiled proudly: "Not only can you expel the cold qi in your body and unlock the seal of the Ice Emperor, but it can also increase the activity of your crystal qi a lot." ”

Mingjie's lips opened slightly, although he was very excited, he still said puzzledly: "Who are you, why do you know that the crystal qi in my body is sealed by the Ice Emperor?"

"Huh. Meng Lao smiled, "You don't have to worry about that." ”

"Eat it. Seeing that Mingjie was stunned, Meng Lao said.

Ming Jie suddenly raised his arm, poured the spar into his mouth, and squirmed his Adam's apple, swallowing the hard spar like a snake.

Ming Jie, who swallowed the Spiral Fire Crystal, his blood veins swelled, and his face became as red as fire.

"Bear with it, it'll be fine soon. Seeing that Mingjie became unwell, Meng Lao also said softly.

Mingjie's body was in a heat wave at this time, and his lower abdomen seemed to be tumbling with magma. Mingjie's breathing was heavy, and even every time he inhaled, it was a warm white smoke. The words that Meng Lao told him to endure did not make Mingjie's warm body temperature drop, but his face became more and more red.

"Smack!"

Mingjie's eyes darkened, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

"Little one, are you alright? ”

A wisp of fresh wind swept across Mingjie's cheeks, and the heat in his body disappeared completely. Mingjie opened his eyes and saw the blue and deep sky. Beneath him was also soft, Mingjie put his hands on the ground, sat up, and found himself sitting in the middle of the vast grass.

Meng Lao smiled again: "The seal of the Ice Emperor in your body has been completely unlocked, and you can now freely use crystal qi. ”

Mingjie raised his palm, and the long-lost feeling came to his heart again. A trace of pale yellow crystal qi precipitated out in Ming Jie's hand, and he wandered leisurely through his fingertips, and the cold qi bound by the magic crystal in his body completely disappeared. Ming Jie looked at the crystal qi floating in his hand, and smiled happily, extremely bright, but after a few seconds, his expression also sank, because he could never forget the bitterly cold temperature and unforgettable hatred four years ago.

It's time to make a difference. Mingjie clenched his fists and struck a blow, proud of the sky.
