A distant neighing of horses resounded through the night, and then, the snow ghosts, who were still restless a moment ago, and their teeth and claws were all quieted down, and they all retreated out of the formation.

"Da", "Da", "Da", "Da", "Da", "Da", "Da"

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a sound came into his ears, Ouyang Xun felt that Xiao Cong's breathing was getting lighter and lighter, and at this time, there was a strong pressure that made him a little breathless.

Da", "Da", "Da", "Da", 、......"Da",

The heavy and dull sound of horses' hooves wafted in the silent snow forest, and the echo was clearly audible, like a funeral song sung when impermanence asked for his life, and like the transcendence struck by the monk wooden fish, which tugged at the heartstrings.

"It's... How... Why... ...... thing"

Ouyang Xun felt that his whole body was soaked, in this icy and snowy night, his robe was all attached to his body, but he didn't feel a trace of chill, but he felt that something was stuck in his throat, and something was pressed on his heart, making him unable to move and unable to speak.

"He's coming......"

Xiao Cong replied slowly, Ouyang Xun actually found that he heard a depression and nervousness from Xiao Cong's tone, and this depression and nervousness also increased a fear for him at the same time, although he didn't want to admit it, he really felt that the blood in his body was about to freeze because of this fear.

Rao is like this, Ouyang Xun still used all his strength to ask with difficulty:

"Who's ........."

The "cluck, cluck" sound in his throat was more humble in the cold, lonely winter night and the sound of the horses' hooves getting closer and closer.

"East-Fang-Jing-Xuan!"

Xiao Cong spoke word by word, not only because of emphasis, but also because of the difficulty of speaking.

If there was a thunderclap in his ears, his mind was blank for a moment, Ouyang Xun felt that he had been completely detached at this time, and at the same time, he had also fallen into a catastrophe that could never be turned over, and all the previous hopes for life were all in vain, and the illusion that this was close to death was even closer and closer than the time in Snake Valley, he felt that his heart was getting heavier and heavier, and his spirit was becoming more and more trance-like.

"Is this the end of this time..."

"Father, Mother, and Master......"

Flashing in front of him, he paused slightly on the majestic figure of a man holding a halberd and disappeared, Ouyang Xun couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that his expression should be with heavy sadness, but that tall posture, standing up to the sky and the earth, swallowing mountains and rivers, couldn't help but let him bow and worship, tears in his eyes. He didn't know what he had to do with this man, and he didn't know where this scorching fire of survival had been ignited, he just knew, and began to tell himself constantly

"I must live...... I must live!"

Xiao Cong, who was standing beside Ouyang Xun, did not notice Ouyang Xun's abnormality, his eyes in front of him were full of a purple that was clearer and deeper than a sapphire, as if an invisible light shot out from his pupils, and went straight to the end of the endless darkness.

He saw it!

He saw a man and a horse approaching this way, he saw that the snow ghosts outside the formation automatically branched out a way from the middle to make way for that man and a horse, and he saw that the man and a horse were getting closer and closer to the image of the horse and the outline of the person's face—that person's face was like a heavy date, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his beard was like a halberd, he was dressed in a golden shroud, and his horizontal sword was straddling the horse, and there was a lifeless air that could not be concealed in his majesty.

"Dongfang Jingxuan..."Xiao Cong muttered in a low voice, "This is Dongfang Jingxuan." ”

All of a sudden, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, like a pool of still water, not the slightest fluctuation was perceived, everything seemed to be dead, the wind was dead, the fire was dead, the trees were dead, even the people were dead, there was no sadness pervasive, there was only a completely still nature, no emotion.

Xiao Cong's expression became more and more ugly, his face was whiter than the surrounding snow in the light from the window and doorway, but not as bright as the surrounding snow, his frowning brows were knotted on his forehead, his cheeks were clearly defined due to excessive bite, and finally, a wisp of bright red blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his state was even worse than Ouyang Xun on the side.

The man and the horse stood outside the formation, but did not move, the horse's four legs stood straight, the waist of the man on the horse was straight, and the head of the horse and the head of the man were so naturally pressed against the neck, the whole looked like a sculpture without any artistic effect.

Everything outside the wooden house has been frozen by the overwhelming pressure and cold, only the inside of the house can still find a bit of earthly dynamics with the pile of bonfires that go up and down, but the fire in the wooden house is not the only one that is moving, look carefully, the number and position of the spirit stone chess pieces on the chessboard have also undergone some subtle changes at this time.

More and more blood spilled from the corners of Xiao Cong's mouth, and it had passed over his chin and fell into the white snow, and the blood was like a falling fireball, burning a thick layer of ice covering the ground into large holes.

Ouyang Xun felt a little relaxed at this time, and he unexpectedly found that it seemed that the worse Xiao Cong's situation was, the better he would feel, and he didn't know why. But he felt that he could feel the great pain that Xiao Cong was suffering at this time, and he guessed that Xiao Cong must have been connected and connected to the magic circle they relied on for survival, and the reason why the coercion he was bearing was reduced was that all the coercion was blessed on Xiao Cong. His breathing became heavier and heavier, tears instantly overflowed his eyes, and he burst out of his eyes, something called shame that he had never encountered before was about to burst his chest at this time, he thought that the person who was suffering at this time was himself, not the weak boy next to him who was several years younger than himself, but he couldn't move, he couldn't do anything.

This night is too long, whether it is for Ouyang Xun or Xiao Cong.

Time passed slowly, like sand in an hourglass, but in the eyes of Xiao Cong and Ouyang Xun, it seemed to be at an invisible speed. About two hours later, Xiao Cong's situation was indescribably miserable. His eyes were closed, but two streaks of blood spread from the slits of his eyes to his cheeks, confusing his features with the blood spilling from his nose and mouth. The bonfire in the hut was miraculously still burning, by the light of the fire, Ouyang Xun felt that Xiao Cong was serene, no joy or sorrow, Zhu Xianjian was lying under him, he saw that Xiao Cong's four fingers were only slightly bent in the sagging, he knew that only the four fingers of the dead and the sleeping would be like this, and he had been forcibly hinting to himself: "He is not dead, he is just asleep or fainting......" He closed his eyes tightly and tried not to look at Xiao Cong's appearance at this time, the little face that was as quiet as all immature teenagers made his heart feel like a knife and did not want to live, every second was more and more uncomfortable, the tears had dried up, but his heart was still bleeding, this long-lost warmth and touching made him feel ashamed.

Ouyang Xun found that he was able to move!

He sobbed and raised his hand to touch Xiao Cong's red and white face, but his curled four fingers stopped at a distance from Xiao Cong's cheek and did not move for a long time. Finally, he let out a heavy and long sigh and slowly lowered his hand, because he didn't know what would happen in the next second, he was afraid that this touch would make Xiao Cong's body slowly fall to the ground in front of his eyes, or even turn directly into powder.

"Poof!"

Just as Ouyang Xun lowered his head and turned around to lift his halberd, Xiao Cong behind him suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body was shaky. Ouyang Xun woke up like a dream, turned around and held Xiao Cong, who had collapsed halfway, into his arms, his face was attached to Xiao Cong's face, he was glad that Xiao Cong's body was still soft, and Xiao Cong's face could still feel the temperature.

At this time, I only heard Xiao Cong say weakly and intermittently in his ear:

"Ahh Look for... No... Want... Move... Protect... I... Arrive... Break... Dawn..."

As soon as Xiao Cong's words fell, he heard a low roar in the distance, Ouyang Xun suddenly turned his head, and found that there was already a mess outside the formation, Dongfang Jingxuan was rampant, his hand was up and down, and a person's head fell to the ground, he was actually slaughtering other snow ghosts like crazy!

Even if you see it really, you only dare to glance at it in a hurry. Ouyang Xun stood the halberd at his side, sat down cross-legged, and then let Xiao Cong's body curl up on his knees, although doing so might make Xiao Cong uncomfortable, but he could use his tall body to protect Xiao Cong as much as possible, and finally, he pulled out the halberd, crossed in front of him, and waited for him.

The snow ghosts outside the formation were panicked and confused by Dongfang Jingxuan's killing, some scattered and fled, some fought back, and a large number of snow ghosts panicked and rushed to the formation.

Although Xiao Cong was already unconscious, the defensive function of the magic circle was still there, and for a while, there was a thunderbolt, and the clanging sound started again, making Ouyang Xun anxious.

"If there is no such defense, there may be more snow ghosts to entangle Dongfang Jingxuan, alas, Xiao Cong didn't think of this after all......"

I don't know if it was really stupid or rushed back to his mind in a hurry, Ouyang Xun only saw more and more snow ghosts falling under the defense, but he didn't expect that if there was no such defense, the target of the snow ghosts' attacks would be him directly.
