", I've been walking for so many days, but I still haven't gone out!"

After leaving the mountain, Xiao Qi identified a direction to move forward, and it had been half a month since he saw no one.

Nanyezhou is hilly, with constant highlands and mixed mountains.

It happened to be the cold season again, and it snowed all day long.

At a glance, Siye was confused, and it was really difficult to discern the direction.

He was also too unlucky, and he only had to walk thirty miles south that day to see the town. It's a pity that he happened to choose the opposite direction, and he could only go further and further.

In the past half month, he has endured a lot of hardships.

The only thing that is gratifying is the bearskin wrapped around his body.

He looked at the gradually gray sky, took another breath of cold breath, and said firmly: "Tomorrow, I must go out!" ”

In front of him at this time was a towering tree, with a swarthy hole at the base of the tree, which was also his shelter for the past few days.

The former owner of this tree cave is hugging Xiao Qi tightly at the moment, and his red meat has also become Xiao Qi's food.

The tree hole is very empty, two feet longitudinal and horizontal, and more than eight feet high. Xiao Qi lit a fire in the center, and set up some warning traps at the entrance of the cave at random, so he wanted to rest.

In his daze, he heard a rustling sound in the hollow of the tree, and thought that maybe the ice and snow seeped through the crack and gradually melted, so he didn't care.

But the sound continued and changed gradually, like chewing.

Xiao Qi hurriedly got up and followed the prestige.

Directly opposite him, at the foot of the tree hole, there was a round black shadow, holding something and biting.

Xiao Qi only felt that his mouth was dry, and a fear that he had never felt before came to his heart, but he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and mustered up the courage to go forward to check.

As soon as his toes hit the ground, the black shadow had already noticed it, and turned around suddenly.

Xiao Qi stopped all actions and thoughts, his face trembled wildly, and a chill rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover.

The head of the black shadow is three points similar to that of a human, but the eyes and mouth occupy two-thirds of the face. At this time, its face was covered with scarlet blood, which was even more terrifying under the faint light of fire.

It grinned at Xiao Qi and slaughtered directly.

Xiao Qi was so frightened that he was paralyzed and couldn't exert any strength. simply closed his eyes and resigned himself directly......

"Big brother, save my life!"

Completely different from what Xiao Qi expected, he didn't feel any pain, but heard a crying scream at his feet.

When he opened his eyes, the black shadow was gone, only a scrawny guy was holding his thigh, crying.

Xiao Qi looked at the cloaked guy in front of him, the fear just now slowly dissipated, and a sense of pride appeared in his heart for no reason.

He never thought that in this snowy field, there would be an existence that was thousands of times more depressed and embarrassed than him.

"Big brother, you must save my life......" Seeing that Xiao Qi seemed to be in a daze, the guy couldn't help but shout.

Xiao Qi was puzzled: "Who are you?" And why do you want me to save you? ”

Hearing Xiao Qi ask his identity, the guy's tears were even more turbulent. "Big brother, I'm a poor person, I was entangled by that big-mouthed fat man for a month, and I was about to die after he sucked my essence dry, and now only big brother can save me."

Xiao Qi frowned. "You let me go first."

When the guy heard this, he looked frightened, but hugged him tighter, shook his head and said, "Big brother, you can't abandon me, only by sticking to you can you save my life." ”

Xiao Qi was even more puzzled, and continued: "In that case, you first tell me the ins and outs of this matter." ”

He did not feel disgusted, but felt pity, perhaps because of the similarity of the encounter, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.

The guy who called himself a poor man nodded and spoke slowly: "A month ago, I came to Hanbing Ridge to relax, and suddenly one day, a fat man with a big mouth and big eyes appeared, and since then he has entangled me. That fat man's stomach seems to be a bottomless abyss, I can't eat enough, it sucks all my spiritual power, and at the same time lets me forage everywhere, in another three or five days, I will definitely die in its mouth, so big brother, you must save me! ”

Xiao Qi asked, "The big-mouthed fat man you are talking about, is he a round guy?" ”

The poor man nodded frantically.

Xiao Qi asked again, "Where is the big-mouthed fat man now?" ”

The man was stunned, and said with a bitter face: "He is in front of you, big brother......"

When Xiao Qi heard this, he hurriedly pulled back, not forgetting to kick the poor man in front of him.

So, he saw a scene that he will never forget.

When the poor man fell to the ground, his body suddenly grew larger and his skin darkened. The mouth and eyes slowly tore apart, and instantly turned into a big-mouthed fat man in his mouth.

The big-mouthed fat man let out a low roar and rushed towards Xiao Qi again, but when he arrived at the stone platform where Xiao Qi was lying before, he suddenly fell down, his body changed instantly, and he became the poor man again.

On the stone platform, Xiao Qi's rusty sword was lying quietly, and at the hilt of his sword, an originally gray stone was emitting a faint blue light at this time.

The poor man shook his head, stared at the rusty sword on the stone platform, understood something, took the rusty sword, and pressed it in his arms.

"Big ...... Big brother, you also saw it, the dead fat man just now appeared again, he has been pestering me, you must save me! ”

Xiao Qi sighed. "You're full of nonsense, how can I save you, at least, you should tell me the truth."

The poor man struggled for a long time, and then said: "Big brother, this is related to my net worth, and I hope that my eldest brother will keep it secret for me......"

Seeing Xiao Qi nodded, he continued: "My name is Peng Junjie, my real identity is a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I broke through to the first level of Qi cultivation a month ago, and I borrowed the awakening stone tablet in the door, but I tried it ten times, and there is still nothing in the spirit fetus. I was depressed and wanted to go out for a walk, so I followed the two senior brothers to the Cold Ice Ridge to do a mission. ”

"Everything was going on as usual, but suddenly one day, I felt a change in the spirit womb, and my body became extremely uncomfortable, and the black boy appeared......"

Xiao Qi interrupted him with a strange expression. "What is a black boy? It can't be the name you gave that big-mouthed fat man, right? ”

Peng Junjie looked embarrassed and nodded with a wry smile. Then he said: "At first, I was excited that I could awaken the beast spirit, so I showed it off in front of the two senior brothers, who knows...... Behold...... Black Jay actually ate the two senior brothers...... It was also from then on that I found that my identity with Black Box was completely reversed, he became the master, and I ......"

Xiao Qi wasn't too surprised, and speculated to himself: "Big mouth...... Blackboy smelled the bear carcass I had placed in the corner, so he chased it down, and the current situation is here. But I also have a question, I have so many traps at the entrance of the cave, why don't you trigger them anywhere? ”

Peng Junjie suddenly said proudly: "This is the very ability of the black box, as long as it is willing, anything that touches its body can become a part of it." ”

Xiao Qi was extremely surprised. "It's actually the ability to assimilate, doesn't this save a lot of effort to climb over the wall and enter the room......

Peng Junjie was triumphant. "It's nature!" But he became bitter again, and sighed: "It's a pity that he has now become my master, and all this has nothing to do with me." ”

Xiao Qi regained his composure and approached the fire and sat down cross-legged. smiled: "I have roughly understood, and you must have discovered that it is not me who can save you, but my sword." ”

Peng Junjie nodded, looking at the long sword in his arms with a complicated expression.

"Come and rest and rest, rest assured, I won't be bad for you. I haven't seen anyone in a long time, so we might as well have a chat. Xiao Qi pointed to the fire.

Only then did Peng Junjie let down his guard and walked to the fire and sat down.

The fire is getting brighter, and the smell of meat wafts up.

The two gradually opened up and talked about their experiences in the mountains. When they learned about the other party's miserable experience, they all laughed heartily.

When Xiao Qi first arrived, he asked about a lot of local conditions, and he also got the answer from Peng Junjie's mouth.

This place, known as the Cold Ice Ridge, was once under the jurisdiction of Sun Moon City.

And the Immortal Sect in his mouth is a martial arts sect in Sun Moon City, with a long history, and according to legend, it has been standing here for more than 60 years.

Although the Cold Ice Ridge is under the jurisdiction of Sun Moon City, it is actually separated from the main city by 3,000 miles, and because of the long years of wind and snow, the aura is thin, and it is difficult to conceive rare beasts, so it is gradually abandoned by Sun Moon City.

Today, the Cold Ice Ridge has become a borderless land, but it has become a good place for nearby sects and families to test their disciples.

Peng Junjie said frankly: Previously, because of the black boy, he didn't dare to return to the sect, and could only wander around the mountains, but now Xiao Qi lent him the rusty sword, temporarily suppressing the spirit fetus, he is not worried that the black boy will come out to do harm again, and is ready to return to the door tomorrow morning to seek help from the elders. He has a special locator on him, so he doesn't have to worry about finding his way.

Naturally, he also invited Xiao Qi to go with him.

Such a good thing, Xiao Qi readily agreed, he was already unwilling to stay in the long snowfield.

Even so, there were still three or four hours before Tianming, and Peng Junjie talked to Xiao Qi about some rules of the Immortal Gate.

Both of them are cultivators, and if they don't sleep for two or three days, they don't necessarily have much of a problem, so they can talk with interest and listen carefully.

After a sleepless night, the two of them did not see confusion on their faces, but were extremely energetic.

Peng Junjie has tied the rusty sword to his back, if you look at his back, his hair is fluttering, his clothes are hunting, and he is really a fairy wind bone.

If you see his pale and sunken cheeks, you can't bear to look at him directly.

Xiao Qi followed behind Peng Junjie quietly, and the two of them did not communicate verbally, you must know that although there are no spirits and demons in this mountain, there are many fierce beasts, and some can even kill martial cultivators in the realm of martial artists, so they should naturally be cautious.

After walking for about two hours, Xiao Qi saw a long and boundless white line.

This white line is the boundary line of the snow field, it is strange to say, outside the white line, the eyes are full of snow white, inside the white line, but it is full of life, full of green mountains. It's like two extremes.

Following in the footsteps of Peng Junjie, the two went up a mountain road, followed the road, and walked for about half an hour, and a huge stone monument appeared in the eyes of the two.

Three hundred meters further back from the stele, there is a glorious mountain gate, and there are three majestic inscriptions on the plaque.

Peng Junjie exhaled a long time: "Changshengmen, it's finally here!" ”
