"Nikolai, how are you, can you still hurry?"

Sun Xiaofei felt a little funny when he saw Nikolai's appearance and asked.

Nikolai heard Sun Xiaofei's question, and only then did he come back to his senses. Shaking his head, he said, "Oh, I'm fine." Thank you. ”

Sun Xiaofei glanced at the surrounding environment and said, "It's okay, let's continue on our way." Nikolai, where should the Shui family go?"

Nikolai looked at it for a while, then took out a rough map and compared it, and finally determined the route they were going to take.

Pointing to a mountain road covered with snow and weeds, Nikolai said, "From this road we will go all the way up a few peaks and a forest depression to where we want to go." ”

Sun Xiaofei nodded and asked, "How long will we be going?"

Nikolai was asked by Sun Xiaofei, and immediately replied with a strange expression: "If it were me, I might have to go for at least seven or eight days." But, at your speed, you can get there in a day or so. ”

"Alright, Nikolai, I'll take you with me. Just show me the way. Hearing this, Sun Xiaofei was stunned, and after thinking about it, he understood the meaning of his words, and immediately smiled.

Nikolai was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Quickly sorted out the things he was carrying, and at this time, he regretted a little in his heart why he had to bring so many things out in the first place.

Sun Xiaofei said to Lucia, who was enjoying the snow scene, let's go. Then his figure flashed, and he shot away into the distance. Nikolai was wrapped in a tremendous force, clinging to him.

Lucia's body is light, graceful, and elegant, with the elegance of the wind, and in a few flutters, he caught up with Sun Xiaofei and Nikolai.

At the speed at which they were advancing, they soon overturned one tall mountain peak after another, and from time to time, some powerful demonic beasts, or some bird-like demonic beasts, would appear on those peaks, trying to attack them.

was killed one by one by Sun Xiaofei with flying swords, at the beginning, Nikolai was reluctant to give up the magic cores in those demonic beasts, and many of the demonic beasts killed by Sun Xiaofei were high-level demonic beasts, and the demon cores could be sold for a high price.

Sun Xiaofei killed these demonic beasts and ingested the demon core into his hand. Some of the unsightly, all were given to Nikolai. Nikolai couldn't even think of this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, but now because of Sun Xiaofei, he easily got it.

On the subsequent journey, no matter how many kinds of demonic beasts were encountered, Sun Xiaofei and Lucia took turns to attack, and they rarely encountered demonic beasts that needed to be dealt with by the two of them. Nikolai has seen too much of this kind of scene, no matter how exaggerated Sun Xiaofei's performance is, he has slowly become accustomed to it.

With such an unhindered forward speed, the distance was greatly shortened, and in one day, they had crossed dozens of peaks and entered the hinterland of the Icewind Mountains.

However, in the depths of the mountain range, Sun Xiaofei was no longer able to move forward with Nikolai. It's not because Sun Xiaofei doesn't want to be faster, but the high-altitude cold current here is very violent, and with Nikolai's cultivation and physical fitness, he can't resist it at all. Even if Sun Xiaofei protected him, the tall trees in the mountain range would cause great interference to their progress. Moreover, Sun Xiaofei found that when he entered the depths of the mountain range, there were more and more powerful demonic beasts, and the aura emitted by some demonic beasts made him feel dangerous.

They want to find the Shui family, not to break out a battle with the demonic beasts, more things are better than less. Therefore, Sun Xiaofei decided that the next journey would be to walk on the ground, as fast as he could, as long as he successfully found the Shui family.

For the Shui family, Nikolai didn't know much, he only knew that the Shui family was one of the few families in the Ice Wind Mountain Range, and most of the people in the family were cultivating the two attribute exercises of the water system and the ice system, and there were a large number of magicians and fighting spirit fighters.

The families living in the Icewind Mountains all live a life of asceticism and have relatively strong physical fitness, and everyone in the clan needs to go through a lot of cruel trials before they can have a place in the family.

These families usually don't have much contact with the outside world, so people from the outside know very little about them.

However, these families have established a place to live in contact with the outside world. Those who are not accepted will leave the clan and enter this place. It serves as a link between the family and the outside world.

The most obvious symbol of this place is the statue of the goddess of the ice wind, which is worshipped by the major families, and the tall statue rises on the top of a mountain peak, and all the families who believe in the goddess of the ice wind build houses to live in. It's known as Icewind Mountain.

Now, the place where Sun Xiaofei and the others are going is Bingfeng Mountain. This place of residence, where families are concentrated, has been expanding its range of activities due to the development of many years of development.

Moreover, the population is increasing, and even many outsiders stay there, marrying and having children, and various industries have emerged one after another, forming a city-like scale.

Now, Sun Xiaofei and the others are going to find this place, and then through those clansmen of the Shui family, they will find the location of Shui Bingrou's family.

Without going through this step, even if they searched in the Icewind Mountains for three or five years, they might not be able to find the exact entrance where the Shui family was located.

They have had a large barren forest, and they have also encountered all kinds of dangers, and they have survived safely with their cultivation against the sky. On the way, sometimes they met those mercenary teams hunting in the mountains, and Sun Xiaofei and the others just looked at them, and had no intention of going over to greet them.

There is no road leading directly to Icewind Mountain, and it will not take long for all the roads to be covered by snow after people have passed, and the traces of walking will naturally disappear without a trace, and there is no way to identify any path.

Sun Xiaofei and the two were not familiar with the environment and terrain here, so they could only rely on Nikolai, a veteran mercenary, to lead the way. The closer I got to Icewind Mountain, the more people I met. At first, it was just three or five people, and then it was almost a group. The road ahead began to become wider and clearer.

"You see, there's the statue of the Goddess of Ice Wind. Nikolai said, standing on a high rock, pointing into the distance.

Sun Xiaofei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyesight was much better than Nikolai, and he suddenly saw a statue exposed between the peaks of the mountain. Sun Xiaofei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, get there before dark." ”

Nikolai jumped off the rock, clapped his hands, and said goodbye. Then he walked towards the overgrown curvy mountain road. Sun Xiaofei walked behind him and beckoned Lucia to leave.

Of course, Lucia would not have any objections to Sun Xiaofei's words, and quickly followed.

When the three of them came to the bottom of Icewind Mountain, they saw villages large and small, and their faces showed surprise.

The villages scattered around the statue are actually where the major family groups of the Icewind Mountains live, and everyone here needs to be carefully screened before they can have the opportunity to enter the family interior, officially known as a family member.

Those who are not selected or have the opportunity to participate in the screening will continue to live here for the rest of their lives, accompanying the statue of the goddess until they die of old age.

Sun Xiaofei and the others walked towards the statue, and along the way, those who lived here looked at them with an indifferent look, looking cautious.

Some people who came to settle here saw Sun Xiaofei and a few others, and they all enthusiastically surrounded them. Each sells its own services or goods.

Sun Xiaofei and Lucia are strong in cultivation, so they naturally don't need anything. However, in consideration of Nikolai's needs, he chose a woman who seemed to be faithful among so many people, and accepted the latter's invitation to come to her for a rest.

Sun Xiaofei has his own plans, the people here seem to be very repulsive to outsiders, and he also sees that the villages formed by those family groups are a well-defended castle with a flag with a family emblem in it. There is also a character written on the family emblem, which represents the name of the family.

Sun Xiaofei turned around for a while, and didn't see the flag of the Shui family, this place is really big, if you look for it one by one, it will take a lot of effort.

It's better to find a place first, ask the people here, and get some useful information sooner.

Sun Xiaofei and the others walked into the woman's small hotel and sat down casually below.

"This eldest sister, inquire. Do you have a family surnamed Shui here who lives here?" After a little conversation, Sun Xiaofei asked half-jokingly.

The fat woman listened and chuckled, "Guest, haven't you been here?" The woman laughed and the flesh on her face was piled together, looking very funny.

When Sun Xiaofei heard this, his face remained silent, and he said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister, I don't understand what you mean by this?"

"The people of this Shui family are not here. The Shui family and the rest of the family have recently gone to the mountains. The woman said.

When Sun Xiaofei heard her say this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked, "On the mountain?"

"There? Icewind Mountain, of course. We only have a triennial festival here, and all those families will go up to the mountains and come down when the sacrifice is over. The woman said.

Sun Xiaofei nodded and said in a low voice: "So that's the case." So, how long does the sacrifice last?"

"The ritual usually takes place over several days. It depends, and sometimes it's over quickly. It's just been done now, and it shouldn't be over that soon. Do you need anything more, officer?" asked the woman.

Sun Xiaofei replied and said, "Oh, no need. Thank you, what is needed I call you again. ”

After sending the woman away, Sun Xiaofei fell into deep thought. When Lucia and Nikolai saw him like this, they were too interested to disturb him.

"No! we can't wait here. You will stay here for the time being, and I will go to the mountains first. Sun Xiaofei spoke, hurriedly said goodbye to the two, and the figure flashed towards the depths of the Ice Wind Mountain Range.
