A month and a half later.

No years in the mountains?

No, there are years, very difficult years, very dark years.

In the cave, Xia Fangran sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire, meditating quietly, enjoying the benefits brought to him by Rong Taotao's nine-petal lotus.

Sometimes, Xia Fangran no longer knew whether he was teaching students or enjoying benefits.

No way, this student... It's too hard, and it's extremely demanding on itself.

Any teacher, as long as he spends enough time with Rong Taotao, seems to gradually evolve into another "Yang Chunxi".

Because it is difficult for you to ask more of such students, all you can do is take care of them in life.

Xia Fangran, who has always maintained his identity, finally took up the job of a nanny, since Gao Lingwei left, Xia Fangran, who settled in the cave, gave Rong Taotao hot meals almost every day.

"Choke... Choking ...... "The sound of drawing and closing the knife is very rhythmic, Xia Fangran listened to the familiar sound, but he also secretly compared the speed of Rong Taotao pulling out the knife in his heart.

Compared to when I first entered the snowfield, it was indeed a little faster.

For a top martial artist, on the battlefield of life and death, your movements are a little faster, that is the difference between life and death.

"Huh?" Xia Fangran suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at Rong Taotao hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

Why is there no sound?

But he saw that Rong Taotao was stepping on the ice flower with his feet, hanging his body upside down, and the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand did not put it into the scabbard again, but looked at the slender blade with a look of surprise.

Xia Fangran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The soul method has been promoted again?" ”

The nine-petal lotus flower is indeed the treasure of the snow realm, and Xia Fangran naturally thought of the snow realm soul method and the heart of ice and snow.

Because since Gao Lingwei left, Rong Taotao has been in a state of depression and rarely smiled.

"No, it's not soul law, it's soul power." Rong Taotao stomped on his feet, turned over and jumped off the top of the cave.

A clear message came from the Inner Vision Soul Diagram: "Advance!" Soul Pawn: Peak! ”

Xia Fangran grinned and said with a smile: "Hehe, I thought you saw Gao Lingwei~"

Rong Taotao: ???

Although Xia Fangran teased in his mouth, he nodded secretly in his heart.

From this kid's awakening in July last year to the beginning of January this year, in just half a year, from the early stage of the soul pawn to the peak of the soul pawn, this cultivation speed is not slow.

Xia Fangran hooked his hand, picked up the small pot, and poured a bowl of broth for Rong Taotao: "Yes, it's almost time to catch up with Si Hua Nian." ”

"Well, her lotus petals do seem to absorb a little faster." Rong Taotao nodded immediately,

I don't know if the role of each lotus flower is different, or if Si Huanian can use lotus petals completely.

If you put aside the geographical factors that Rong Taotao is in at this time, the benefits that Sihuanian brings to everyone are really more than the benefits given by Rong Taotao.

"Miss her? Gao Lingwei. Xia Fangran smiled, looking like he had sprinkled salt on the wound.

Rong Taotao knelt down and took the hot soup bowl: "I don't want to." ”

"It's been more than a month, and it's the first time I've seen you look happy, good guy, thanks to you being my student, if I were someone else, I would have to look at your face." Xia Fangran snorted coldly.

"Suck... Ha ......" Rong Taotao took a shallow sip of wolf broth, turned his head to look at Xia Fangran, and said embarrassedly, "I really don't miss her, but I think I'm too weak to keep up with her pace." It's different from what you say. ”

"Alright, you're good enough among your peers." Xia Fangran praised Rong Taotao very rarely.

Rong Taotao shrugged his shoulders and said softly, "I had the opportunity to go beyond the three walls." ”

Xia Fangran: "If you don't let go, you are also responsible for your safety." ”

"Whew~" Rong Taotao suddenly blew on the hot broth, a piece of frost sprinkled down, and then, he threw the broth with ice ballast on his back, "Gollum, Gollum......"

"Let's sleep for a while, didn't you say that you should get enough sleep and grow your body?" When Xia Fangran saw this scene, he already knew what Rong Taotao was going to do.

This kid wants to go out and be a bait again, the soul beasts in the snow field are extremely rich in resources, especially the snowflake wolves, it is really a group, batch by batch, Rong Taotao stands outside for a while, whistles for a while, there will always be soul beasts to fight!

"Actually, you don't have to accompany me, the lotus petals are already willing to help me." Rong Taotao wiped his mouth and placed the bowl on the ground.

Having said that, what Rong Taotao said was not accurate.

At this time, in the middle of the battle, the lotus petals will indeed come out to help him, but only occasionally, not Rong Taotao can succeed if he wants to summon it.

Rong Taotao just found a secret, and lured the lotus petals out to commit murder through the way of "empathy".

But Sin Lotus is too willful, and the chance of coming out to "play" is not too high.

Xia Fangran's expression became serious, and he said, "You sit down, let's talk seriously." ”

Rong Taotao was slightly surprised: "Huh? ”

Xia Fangran looked directly at Rong Taotao and said, "Your mentality has changed recently, do you feel it?" ”

Rong Taotao: "Uh......"

Xia Fangran: "At first, I thought it was your teammates leaving, which made you a little frustrated, but then I found out that the change in your mentality is more manifested in the battle. ”

Rong Taotao pursed his lips, and he also knew what Xia Fangran was talking about.

Xia Fangran: "You are normal in life, but in battle, you will always make some unexpected moves."

Why has your style changed so much?

I have personally watched you change day by day, and I have also reminded you a few times, with your comprehension of the skill of the Heavenly Painting Halberd, you should be able to understand my dissuasion very well. ”

"Hmm... Well. Rong Taotao pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "I don't know how to use Si Huanian's lotus petal, but as a soul pawn, I can let this lotus flower occasionally come out to help me kill the enemy......

Because I fit its 'behave in the world' attitude, I also have to adjust my mindset so that it can show up. ”

Xia Fangran's heart moved, and said, "What mentality? Don't tell me you're brave and fearless, your fighting posture during this time is definitely more than fearless. ”

In the end, it is the teacher of the pine soul, and it is really accurate!

Self-confidence and conceit are actually only a thin line, just like a genius and a madman.

Rong Taotao thought about it, but still spoke: "Arrogance." ”

Xia Fangran was stunned for a moment: "Arrogance? ”

"Hmm." Rong Taotao nodded, "Rampant, presumptuous, domineering, domineering, similar derogatory terms, all are fine." ”

"This ......" Xia Fangran was also a little confused, after all, it was a nine-petal lotus, a treasure in the snow realm, and the lowest-level white lantern paper lantern still needed to be careful, the nine-petal lotus flower had its own character, and it was also natural.

However, this kind of attitude is not the attitude that an excellent soul martial artist should have.

Xia Fangran pondered for a long time and said, "Do you know how to drink to quench your thirst? ”

Rong Taotao: "......"

Anyway, I'm a college student too, okay? Well, even though I'm a junior high school graduate......

Xia Fangran spoke: "Lotus petals can indeed improve your offensive ability in a short period of time, allowing you to enter a higher level of actual combat, and then polish your martial arts.

But if it changes your mindset like that, it can have a big impact on your future. ”

"It's okay." Rong Taotao scratched his head and said, "When I just can't beat it, I look at the beast opposite and think, 'Are you a fart?' If I could handle it on my own, I'd fight normally. ”

Xia Fangran: "......"

Xia Fangran was shocked!

He suddenly found that he was scolding on his lips, and Rong Taotao was scolding in his heart?

Xia Fangran: "Switching back and forth with a mentality like yours, won't there be psychological problems?" ”

"What kind of switching mentality is this?" Rong Taotao grinned, "I just try to be as rampant as possible when I need it, and it will have a certain probability of coming out to accompany me to kill the enemy, I don't think it can change my heart." ”

Xia Fangran: "I deeply doubt this. Don't underestimate anything, especially if it's a nine-petal lotus ......."

Rong Taotao pouted, you are not the host of the lotus, you know a fart!?

Moment

On Rong Taotao's chest, a lotus flower suddenly appeared.

Rong Taotao: ???

It's also thanks to Rong Taotao that he is not in an offensive state at this time, otherwise, Sin Lian might really go to scare Xia Fangran......

In an instant, Xia Fangran's face was extremely exciting, he picked up the small iron pot casually, and knocked it directly at Rong Taotao's head: "You scold again?" ”

"Eh, I was wrong, I was wrong......" Rong Taotao hugged his head and ran out of the cave.

While running, Rong Taotao still muttered in his heart, what's the situation?

This kind of small complaint, how did the lotus petals come out on their own?

On weekdays, Rong Taotao must be arrogant to a certain extent, even when he is invincible and has no one in his eyes, so that this sin lotus can resonate and may appear.

It's just a possibility, not a necessity! But now this ......

Could it be that the lotus petals can understand what they mean?

Or, when he explained to Xia Fangran just now, the lotus petals felt Rong Taotao's thoughts?

"This dead kid ......" Xia Fangran set up the barbecue on the bonfire, and then scolded and followed, although he accidentally turned into a "red wolf" just now, but he still has to bear the responsibility.

Protecting Rong Taotao's life and safety is his greatest responsibility.

"Shh~" Rong Taotao put his two fingers against the bottom of his tongue and whistled loudly again.

In the past month and a half, not to mention how much his strength has improved, Rong Taotao's whistle has become more and more slippery.

In the dark night, Rong Taotao, who was standing in the vast wind and snow, summoned a white lantern paper cage again, absorbing soul power while waiting for the soul beast to attack.

He is already familiar with the road, as little as half a minute, as much as half an hour, as long as Rong Taotao works hard to whistle, there will always be passing soul beasts coming.

Rong Taotao's whistle is equivalent to the handkerchief in the hand of the woman in the Qinglou, waving it extremely enchantingly, shouting from time to time: "Uncle (yé), come and play~"

But today, Rong Taotao, who whistled for 20 minutes, waited for a strange person.

Rong Taotao was dumbfounded for a moment, and before he was dumbfounded, Xia Fangran, who had seen farther than him, was already dumbfounded!

"You... Hello? Rong Taotao leaned forward with his right hand, commanded the white lantern and paper lantern, and swayed forward.

And the figure that walked slowly from the wind and snow was like a soulless puppet, and it didn't even know how to avoid the white lantern that rushed in front of it, but walked forward on its own.

Although the man's clothes were in tatters, he could tell that he was definitely not wearing snow camouflage.

Plainclothes?

It can't be poachers, right?

Sniff ~ sniff ~

The strange man shrugged his nose, as if he had smelled something, and walked straight towards Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao immediately retreated, and Xia Fangran also fell directly and blocked in front of Rong Taotao.

In front of him, the tall man, with his long hair and unshaven beard, was covered with frost and snow, and he couldn't see his true face at all.

He is not so much a poacher as a wild man.

"Stop!" Xia Fangran shouted violently, and picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.

But... The wild man with his face covered with frost and snow, as if he couldn't see the tip of the halberd, walked forward on his own, not taking his life seriously at all?

Boy!

Xia Fangran was stunned.

Rong Taotao has been seducing soul beasts here for a month and a half, any soul beast may appear, Xia Fangran has long been prepared to face any creature.

But tonight, the guy who was attracted by the whistle was far beyond Xia Fangran's expectations.

The man walked forward on his own, his chest against the tip of Fang Tian's halberd!

Of course, Xia Fangran would not hurt someone's life so easily, he put the halberd upright, slapped the tic-tac-toe on the opponent's chest, and with a sharp force in his hand, he directly pushed the opponent away a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "I'll let you stop!" ”

Under the great force, the wild man "kicked and pedaled" and took three steps back!

Finally, the wild man who was pushed away, his empty eyes had a trace of focus, and he turned to Xia Fangran.

"Can you talk?" Xia Fangran frowned, stopped Rong Taotao behind him with one hand, pushed it, and motioned for Rong Taotao to go back to the cave first.

The wild man with a frosty face and tattered clothes, with his godless eyes open, looked at Xia Fangran silently, as if he realized that he was blocking his way, and the next moment, the wild man clasped his hands at his sides......

Two halberds, quietly put together.

Xia Fangran's breathing stagnated slightly, and his eyes widened suddenly, staring closely at the structure of the two halberds.

It is also close to the "well" shape of Fang Tian's halberd, but it is not a long-pole weapon, but a short-pole snow halberd!

Look at the tip of the halberd like a wave, and then look at the side blades on both sides of the "tic-tac-toe", which are wavy......

Halberd?

Xia Fangran exclaimed: "Xiao Ziru!?" ”

As the three words fell, the expressionless savage suddenly split his big mouth, tilted his neck left and right, and made a crisp bone sound, and his eyes, which had been empty, suddenly burst into a blazing light.

"Stand back! Rong Tao Tao! You go back to the cave first! Xia Fangran roared in shock, and actually took out the mobile phone in his pocket and threw it directly to Rong Taotao, "Call Xue Ranjun!" Number 1 key! ”

Xia Fangran, who has always been calm, reacted so violently that Rong Taotao was really startled! He hurriedly picked up his phone and immediately retreated into the cave.

Call......

The next moment, the snow-covered earth suddenly swelled, up and down like ocean waves.

Snow Realm Soul Technique: A Sea of Snow?

This is the iconic soul skill of the Advanced Soul School!

"Wow~Wow~" Rong Taotao exclaimed, his figure swaying left and right in the snow wave, looking like he was about to lose his balance and be submerged in the "snow ocean"!

Stumbling, he hurriedly stretched out a hand, and a snowburst ball blasted out at his feet!

"Phew!" The snow explosion ball, which was real and had no spare force, had a huge recoil force, and directly took Rong Taotao out of the "snow ocean" and flew towards the cave.

Behind, the sound of "clanging" is endless, and the double short halberd and Fang Tian's painting halberd are intertwined, playing a beautiful melody in this snowy night.

Xia Fangran's angry scolding also resounded in the night sky: "Xiao Ziru! Are you crazy? ”
