Chapter 336: The Way Home
readx; Zhou Xiaofei went on the road, riding a four-legged animal that looked like a cow but not a cow, in Woshan City, Zhou Xiaofei wanted to buy a horse, but he only saw such an animal that was slightly closer to the horse, the boss said that this was a long-haired cow, he trained for seven months to succeed, Zhou Xiaofei wanted to travel a long distance to have such an animal to accompany him and not be alone, even if he had to buy it with a lot of money, he didn't feel pity.

In this way, Zhou Xiaofei rode a four-legged monster ox to the north, he heard that it is no longer feasible to go to the Northern Frontier Country, countless times he looked at the magic map, and found a very close road, this road is countless times closer than detouring Shi Nanguo to the Northern Frontier Country, and now Shi Nanguo can't pass the Northern Frontier Country, thinking about Zhu Kuang going crazy this time, what strength does he have to attack two countries at the same time? Even if Shi Nanguo's strength is weak, but he is already familiar with the strength of Tian'an Kingdom these days, although Tian'an Kingdom is divided by major families, but its strength is very strong, and the strength of a Warcraft Legion is not something that he Zhu Kuang and several magicians can resist, especially many powerful Warcraft Legions. Is it really as the king of Anguo said that day, fighting for magic crystals? The king of a country is attacking cities and plundering land for the inconspicuous stones, which is ridiculous.
The four-legged monster cow walked very slowly, but it was tireless, and he traveled day and night, and four days later, Zhou Xiaofei saw the continuous snow-capped peaks from afar. I secretly thought that this journey was short enough, and I estimated that it would take seven or eight days to walk, and I would have to walk in these four days.
But after another four days, Zhou Xiaofei sighed, the snow-capped mountain seemed to have only risen a short distance to the horizon, and he still didn't go to the bottom of the snowy mountain.
It took Zhou Xiaofei twelve days to finally see a small station under the snow mountain, marked as "under the snow mountain" on the magic map.
Even the small station could see it clearly, but the slow strange cow still took half a day to reach the foot of the small station snow mountain.
Zhou Xiaofei looked at the huge "wine" signboard shaking in the cold wind, and felt that this deserted little station seemed to have no one come for a long time, if it weren't for the building and the signboard prompting something, it would be easy for people to feel like a dead man's grave.
Zhou Xiaofei jumped off the strange cow and walked into the half-open door, which seemed to be very dark, and through the half-open door, he saw that it was pitch black inside.
Zhou Xiaofei walked in, stood in the hall and looked around, there seemed to be no one's breath.
"Is there anyone?" Zhou Xiaofei shouted with the method of breaking his intestines and roaring with mana, although the mana he used to control the magic power to the minimum, of course, the penetrating power was extremely strong, and if someone in this small station would definitely understand it.
After waiting for a long time, half of the ghost shadow was not seen, Zhou Xiaofei felt strange, then there was no one here? But the inn didn't seem to be messy, there was little dust on the table, as if someone had wiped it, could it be that the people in this small station were gone? Think about riding that strange cow these days, this is the last stop on the snow mountain, and you can only rest here for one night.
Zhou Xiaofei led the strange cow to the low shed next to the small station that seemed to be prepared for livestock, and found some forage, and took out water from the magic guide, and some fine materials originally prepared for the horse, settled the strange cow, Zhou Xiaofei chose a room in the small station and stayed here.
Zhou Xiaofei did a simple search, found some clean bedding, and was about to wash up and sleep well, when he suddenly heard someone outside and secretly thought: Are the people in the inn back?
When Zhou Xiaofei heard that the first thing this person said when he entered the inn was the same as himself, he concluded that this person was also here to stay like himself. However, Zhou Xiaofei, as the first person to arrive here, still went out to say hello.
There were a total of twelve people outside, all dressed as businessmen, and I heard that they were also going to cross the snow-capped mountains to go to the Northern Frontier Country, Zhou Xiaofei only asked briefly, and then talked about what he had seen and heard when he came to this inn, and after a rough explanation, he no longer paid attention to these people, and closed the door to rest alone.
Thirteen people lived in the small station at once, the gloomy atmosphere of the tomb before suddenly disappeared, those people in the hall didn't know where to find a few jars of wine, and went out to hunt a few gray wolves in the evening, and they were angry outside the inn The smell of wolf meat floated all over the desert, and Zhou Xiaofei in the inn was not disturbed, and he had already settled, and the small station under the snow mountain was like a lonely lantern in the desert in the firelight.
The next morning, someone knocked on Zhou Xiaofei's door a few times, and Zhou Xiaofei opened the door to see that it was the middle-aged man who talked to him last night, and asked him to come into the house to talk.
"This is the meat we roasted last night, seeing that you have always been closed, I think little brother you are asleep, so I didn't come to disturb, this morning I roasted it again with the fire, it tastes very good, you taste it." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he handed a large piece of steaming roast wolf leg meat to Zhou Xiaofei.
Zhou Xiaofei took it with both hands and hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
"Little brother came here alone, but got lost in this desert?"
"No! I'm going to cross the snow-capped mountains and go to the northern frontier. ā
"The little brother is also a citizen of the Northern Frontier Country?"
"Heh, sort of!" Zhou Xiaofei said thoughtfully.
"Then you can think about it, we are also from the northern Xinjiang country, a month ago because we came to this Tian'an country to do business, went back late, isn't this going to war, the pass is blocked, don't let people go, but there are young and old people in this family, don't go back, the two countries start a war here and wait for the customs to be dangerous, the family is afraid that we are also worried about our life and death, this snow mountain is very sad to hear, but it is better than no road. ā
"So that's the case, I'm pretty much the same, I originally came to this Tian'an country with my friends, but I blamed myself for being lost, I couldn't find them, so I could only think of going back. Zhou Xiaofei took a bite of barbecue and said.
"I think the little brother is also a child of a rich and noble family, this road is difficult, you are a person, is your family so relieved of you? If you don't dislike it, follow us, after all, we are all from a country, and if there is anything on the road that the little brother needs our help with, just ask, don't be polite. The middle-aged man said.
"Thank you so much, I'm really scared to cross the snowy mountains alone. I'm hesitating to go from here. Since I can meet you kind people, uncle, then I am very happy to go along, so I will trouble you uncle on the road. Zhou Xiaofei pretended to be worried.
"We're going to have another night's rest, and we're going to check around to see if we can find the original people here, and it's best to ask some questions about the snowy mountains, and to prepare for the mountains. ā
"That's good, I want to rest for another night, but Uncle Lao has you. ā
"Hahaha! Just because you call me Uncle Sheng's kindness, then if I can go over this time, I will ensure that you can get by. You use it slowly, we have clean water, and if you are thirsty, you can use it, you are welcome. ā
The day passed quickly, and the middle-aged man sent people to search for a hundred miles but did not find a single family, and the hunter did not meet one, but someone encountered a demonic beast attack on the way, and returned injured.
Zhou Xiaofei rested beautifully for another night, and at dawn, he followed the team that had already been ready to wait for his companion and marched towards the snow-capped mountain.
Before leaving, Zhou Xiaofei had already changed into thick leather armor, Xiao Er said that this is the best warm clothes that can be bought in Woshan City, it seems that Xiao Er is not wrong, Zhou Xiaofei feels that he is very hot, and he has been far away from the inn, and then take out his clothes from the magic guide to change, for fear of causing unnecessary suspicion in this group of people, he can only still wear them, and open them so that the cool breeze can blow through.
"Little brother, is this cow a monster?"
A team of thirteen people, twelve people rode horses, only Zhou Xiaofei rode a strange cow, a group of people just started to talk a lot about this, and it was not strange, after all, there are too many animals that can be domesticated as mounts in this Tian'an country.
Zhou Xiaofei replied: "The boss who sold it to me didn't understand whether it was a cow or a horse, and it is estimated that he himself did not know." I don't know if it's Warcraft or not. But sit on it steadily, and the surname is gentle, and I'm not afraid that it will run fast and turn me upside down. Zhou Xiaofei secretly thought that last time he and Fanny bought a potato that looked like a horse and a donkey in Woshan City, and this time he could only buy such a strange cow, it seems that Woshan City is rich in strange mounts.
"Hehe! This Tian'an country Warcraft Master mostly uses ferocious animals as his mounts, this cow I think may be a rare Warcraft, but the surname is very gentle, so it is very suitable for the little brother to ride. Our horse was also brought when we came, otherwise it is difficult to say whether we can buy such a cow in this Tian'an country, buy a fierce monster as a mount, and I am not a monster master, so I can't tame it. ā
"Uncle, what are you all doing here to do in Tian'an? I don't see any carriages for loading goods. Zhou Xiaofei didn't want others to always talk about his strange cow, a group of people were riding horses, and they were riding this slow cow, so they didn't have face, so they hurriedly opened the topic.
"When I came, there was a carriage, so in order to cross the snowy mountain, everything that should be discarded was discarded, and I entered the mountain lightly, so that I could climb over the snowy mountain. The middle-aged man said.
"Master, I found all kinds of demonic beasts in front of me, walking footprints!" One of the people who was exploring the path in front stepped back and said to the middle-aged man.
"Tell everyone to be vigilant, and encounter fierce demonic beasts to kill together. The middle-aged man commanded.
Immediately, everyone took out their wands from the cloth bag tied to the horse's back, Zhou Xiaofei was also surprised at this time, secretly thinking that these were all magicians, but he didn't find any magic fluctuations in these people from the inn to this time, could it be that this group of people deliberately concealed that they were magicians? Look at this group of twelve people, and the person who was called the master did not take out the wand, and the rest of the magicians did not seem to be weak, at least they were all high-level magicians, it seems that this team of people is not simple.
"It's so cold on this snowy mountain, I didn't expect there to be a demonic beast. Zhou Xiaofei said softly.
"There are many Warcrafts in Anguo this day, and there are also Warcrafts that can adapt to the cold places, if you wait to encounter the infestation of Warcraft, as long as the little brother stays by my side, there will be no danger. ā
"I'm really lucky to be able to follow you, uncle, if you come alone, this is terrifying, where can I continue to walk. Zhou Xiaofei said.
"Hahaha! I said, if I can pass, I will make sure you can pass too. ā
Half a day passed, there were fewer and fewer green trees to see on the road, the sky was gray, and there was still a drizzle of snow falling, and Zhou Xiaofei's open clothes were also dressed neatly, because he already felt a little cold. Although the team walked not slowly, it was very difficult, it didn't seem to have chosen a good route, and the places it passed through seemed to be a nest of Warcraft, all kinds of Warcraft attacked in groups, even if there were twelve high-level magicians, they were extremely difficult to deal with, fortunately, this pair of magicians seemed to be good at fighting, and when they were attacked by Warcraft, they immediately gathered around their master, and finally defeated the attack of Warcraft after several battles.
"Master, Zhuo Qing's horse is tired and fell in the snow, do you want to let the team stop and rest. "One of the two people who was exploring the path at the front of the group had his horse wounded in an attack while fighting the monster, and at this point he collapsed with a bang, and it seemed that he could never get up.
"Alas, it's only been half a day into the mountain" The middle-aged man was a little helpless, looking at the people around him were quite tired, fortunately, the more he went up the mountain, the less and less this monster seemed to be, otherwise, let alone sit down and rest, it would be too late to escape. "Since the horse is no longer good, give it a good time! Rest for a while, feed the horses some rice and water, and everyone rest, and after half an hour we will continue walking, trying to cross the mountain pass in front of us before dark. ā
Zhou Xiaofei took out a jar of wine from the bag behind him, opened the mud seal, took a big sip, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said, "Uncle, come!"
"Hahaha! Little brother also drinks?" said he took the wine jar in Zhou Xiaofei's hand and took a sip, "Good wine! Little brother is thoughtful, we didn't expect to take the wine on the road, and the body will be much warmer after drinking." ā
"I also brought two jars when I was reminded by the little two in the inn. There's also a jar here, so let's take it to everyone. Zhou Xiaofei secretly thought, this is deliberately putting two jars in the package, and there are a lot of them in the magic guide.
The middle-aged man was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered everyone to take turns to drink the jar of wine, and the doubts in his heart about Zhou Xiaofei's going to cross the snow mountain alone also fell with the wine, and he didn't know where to go.
Just when everyone was enjoying the wine, Zhuo Qing, who had gone to explore the mountain pass, ran back and said anxiously: "Master Zhuo!
"Can you see who are on both sides?" asked Master Zhuo.
