Chapter 5: The Ladder
Xu Fei understood in a flash of thought that it was caused by the sharp drop in the temperature around him, and the breath exhaled from his mouth and nose was instantly frosted and blocked his mouth and nose, which is a common thing in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, and the knife must have been eroded by water vapor first, and then frozen by this inexplicable extreme cold, so he couldn't pull out the knife.
At the moment, he didn't hesitate, the blackiron triangular pyramid in his left hand had been shot into the fog just to block the enemy, and his right hand quickly took off the knife and sandwiched it between the two strands, and held the handle of the knife with both hands and shouted, "Open!"
In this extremely ugly and embarrassing posture of drawing the knife, the knife was forced to let Xu Fei pull out, and he could hear the sound of breaking wind in the fog. I didn't rush to switch the knife to my forehand, and immediately listened to the wind and debated the backhand knife left and right, and the ice chips splashed everywhere, which turned out to be several almost transparent ice needles.
A female voice came softly from the thick fog, "Huh?", as if she was surprised that Xu Fei could smash the almost transparent secret weapon in the fog.
Xu Fei's cold sweat poured down, and instantly turned into frost and hung on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he was not talented in internal strength on weekdays, and he had worked other practical skills, how could he rely on the wind discerner to deal with this almost invisible hidden weapon in this dense fog today. And the opponent is actually accurate in this thick fog that cannot be opened, and the hidden weapons just now are all running through their own eyes and ear holes, if they don't pull out the knife immediately, I'm afraid that they have become a waste person at this moment, so dangerous!
There is no way to figure out the enemy's position, and he can only be beaten passively in the fog, and he can no longer fight.
Thinking of this, Xu Fei immediately turned around and rushed towards the pine forest, as long as there are trees to cover the pine forest, the threat of hidden weapons is much smaller, the trees are thick, the branches are dense, and the pine needles and dead branches on the ground can be located by the sound of the enemy touching.
Xu Fei was hidden behind a thick tree trunk and gasped, only to feel that his eyes were beginning to be unable to open, and the frost that froze when he breathed had frozen his eyelashes.
When the body broke through the dense fog, it felt like the fog had substance, weight, and the body was sluggish in the dense fog, coupled with the temperature getting lower and lower, the clothes were thin in early autumn, and the hands and feet began to stiffen, Xu Fei secretly complained in his heart, let alone fight and kill the enemy, and if he stayed up for a few quarters of an hour, he was afraid that he would become an ice sculpture and frozen meat.
This terrifying and icy fog spread, burying Xu Fei deep in it, attacking the whereabouts of the opponent, unable to stop the pervasive cold cold, Xu Fei fell into a desperate situation.
"Did you think I couldn't find you when you entered the woods?"
The girl's voice came out of the fog, like water and song, and like a yellow warbler out of the valley. But to Xu Fei's ears, it was really a magic sound, terrifying and hateful.
"You have a knife in your right hand, your left hand under your armpit to keep warm, your back to the pine, you look to the left, oh, now you look to the right. ”
Oh my God! Xu Fei's hair was about to stand on end in shock. This kind of vision seems to be close to the other party, and his every move is well known to the enemy, and it is completely useless to cover it with pine forests.
As soon as Xu Fei heard the enemy's words, he twisted out three dark iron triangular pyramids, and when the other party finished speaking, he shook his hand and shot away from the direction where he had just spoken, only to hear the sound of "poof, puff" three hidden weapons shooting into the trunk of the tree.
"You weird Rausch almost fell into the road just now, so you can't look at you but can lose so accurately, it is really beyond my expectations, not to lose the master of the door so much, I don't know how to deal with it, but you ran into the forest by yourself, it is really a way to kill yourself. ”
Xu Fei's bowels of regret are now green, not only can he not block the enemy's vision when he enters the pine forest, but his most threatening secret weapon is useless in this forest with dense tree trunks, and he spends his own martial arts. If you think that the enemy knows your position well, you don't have to be silent. answered: "How did you see the master in such a big fog?"
"See, stupid, fog is water, water is ice, ice is me. When he finished speaking, he was silent again.
Xu Fei suddenly woke up after hearing these words, this fog is unusual, with texture and weight, it is by no means an ordinary natural occurrence, it seems that the enemy is the strength that can reduce the temperature, turning the fog into countless micro-Xiaoice crystals and can control them, such as the body makes the arm, such as the arm makes the finger, as long as he is in the fog, the other party can perceive it. But he has become blind and passively beaten, how to resolve the crisis, how to break through the desperate situation?
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed like a ray of hope in a desperate situation, and the evening river reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, which came into view through the mist. Xu Fei's mind moved here, he was waiting for death, the temperature of the river surface, and he did not hesitate to think of this, he rose up and exerted his strength under his feet, and carried out his light work to the extreme, and galloped towards the river.
Rushing dozens of steps and stepping on the shallows, Xu Fei did not hesitate to plunge into the river with three jumps and two jumps. Sure enough, the temperature of the river is normal, and Xu Fei, who rushed out in the bitter cold, felt that the river was warm because of the temperature difference, like a warm arm embracing himself, the stiffness of his limbs disappeared, and his mood was slightly settled.
The dense fog on the river did not dissipate, and Xu Fei pondered in his heart, as long as the enemy could not freeze the entire river in this river. The Immortal Marquis is cunning and quick-witted. When I arrived at the ferry, I saw this strange and dense fog, and the rime on the shore should know that the enemy was attacking, so I just turned the horse's head and ran wildly to the enemy, and I couldn't catch up, I just needed to dive and swim across, find a safe river to go ashore, and then slowly find Changshenghou to take the middle strategy land, and I regretted that I didn't listen to Changshenghou's words well.
Suddenly, I heard a soft laugh on Jiang Mian's face
"You think you're smart again, don't you? You're dead, and I'm annoyed that you're scurrying around in the woods and it's hard to catch you. ”
Xu Fei looked back in astonishment, the dense fog dissipated quickly like magic, and he saw that a few feet away on the surface of the river, there was a slender woman standing on the water like a fairy, wearing a white satin dress with long black silk-like hair, her beautiful face was cold, and her black eyes like paint were condescendingly looking down at her head floating up and down the water.
Before Xu Fei could figure out why the enemy could stand on the water, the other party had already given an answer. With the other party's feet as the center of the circle, the ice surface quickly expanded in a moment and arrived in front of him, not good! I want to be frozen embedded in the water! Xu Fei immediately took a deep breath and dived into the water as quickly as possible.
Xu Fei, who dived into the water, looked up through a layer of palm-thick ice, and saw that this thick ice quickly reached the shore, the size was only a dozen zhang square, here is very close to the shore, the shallows are gentle and the water is not deep, just wanted to dive and swim out of this ice surface, but found that the ice was like a white waterfall of death, began to extend to the bottom of the water and quickly touched the bottom of the river, Xu Fei has been locked in the water by an ice cage.
All this is beyond Xu Fei's imagination, it is not a vicious fight in the rivers and lakes at all, it is simply a blasphemy of a fairy by mortals. He is like an ant about to be wiped out in the command room of the Heavenly Immortal Bullet.
But the trapped beast is still fighting, only one breath can easily abandon his own life, Xu Fei dived to the enemy's feet like a swimming fish, and just wanted to stab upwards with a single knife of Xuantie, and suddenly froze, it turned out that under the clear and transparent ice like crystal, he was directly below the girl's skirt, and the scenery under the skirt was in full view, and he was stunned for a while.
"You can't make paper paste with such a thickness of ice. ”
The girl's eyes sneered and slowly turned red. It seems that he has just come to his senses.
"Cheeky thief!"
Xu Fei was horrified to find that the ice surface was like a wolf's tooth sword halberd underwater, jagged and spreading, spreading underwater. I couldn't get close to the ice at all, and the shallow water was no more than two or three people deep, and my space for movement was almost pressed to the bottom.
The girl's anger exerted all her strength, and her face, which was already whiter than white satin, now became almost pale and transparent, and her body shook slightly, barely trying to stand firm.
It turns out that this kind of energy can only be exerted by lowering one's own body temperature, and just now the river bank pine forest is fighting, and now the river surface is full of energy, and the body is extremely burdened. When the person's body temperature drops, he will lose consciousness, and even the internal organs will lose their function, which is really dangerous, but Xu Fei has been sealed under the water, and if he does not lose half a pillar of incense, he will definitely drown under the water.
Where did Xu Fei know under the water, the long breath just now had almost been consumed, and he felt that his breath was getting more and more stuffy, the river surface and water were all ice cages, and he couldn't even get close to break the ice, and the power of life flowed away from Xu Fei's body bit by bit over time.
The girl looked down at the bottom of the river facing the water, and saw that the enemy was sitting on the bottom of the water to reduce the consumption of breath, and she had no ability to urge the strength anymore, which became a stalemate.
Xu Fei was already unconscious, and the bubbles had risen little by little from his uncontrollable mouth and nose, so he couldn't fight back and be beaten passively, because the opponent's ability had no room for martial arts at all, and he couldn't sit still, his hands were torn and scratched on his chest, and his chest was as uncomfortable as if it was about to explode. At the time of life and death, fragments of life flashed back in front of me like a marquee.
A fragment suddenly flashed into his mind, he gave up on himself when the progress of practicing internal strength was slow, and Yu Chunshan, the head of the dart, told him a story.
The immortal cultivator has to pass the ninety-nine difficulties, and then there are immortals who take the ladder to the sky, this ladder goes through the mountains and clouds to the heavens, and when you can see the heavens, you will find that the ladder is broken, and there is a rope ladder only a hundred zhang away. Countless immortal cultivators gave up at this last moment, starved to death of thirst and starvation, and restarted reincarnation. Only those who are obsessed with cultivating immortals in their hearts and do not give up at any time will reach out and give up their bodies to grab the rope ladder, but after reaching out, they find that the rope ladder is close at hand, and then they can reach the heavenly court to become immortals.
Xu Fei's mind thundered, and he couldn't give up! The person is still there, the knife is still there! The life is still there! The enemy is still there! Xu Fei used up his last breath and vitality and shouted, and the Xuantie single knife took off his hand and threw it towards the ice, just like the person who did not abandon his heart in the ninety-nine difficulties, as if he wanted to give up his body and grab the rope ladder to become an immortal! The single knife suddenly thundered under the water, and the wind and lightning were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, and the great force made the single knife made of Xuantie began to tremble and twist, like an incarnation of a Xuanlong with life to the place of hope!
Boom! The ice exploded, and a single knife shot into the sky like a flying dragon, and the great speed and weight of the river water were pumped up in the air and carried Xu Fei out of the water, and the water column was like a fire dragon with red scales and teeth and claws under the reflection of the setting sun! Xu Fei was like an immortal who stepped on the red dragon to cultivate immortals, and reached out to catch the knife in mid-air and shouted.
"Look at the knife!"
