Snow stone is not a thing of the soft plains, but a rare gem produced in Ruiyuan, which is produced in the extremely cold land of Ruiyuan, hidden in the depths of the frozen soil and ice, and the quantity is scarce, and it is very difficult to excavate it alone.

The preciousness of snow stone lies in its extremely low temperature, even if it is a pot of boiling soup, if you don't continue to add firewood to burn, throw the snow stone directly into it, and the original boiling soup will cool down in a short time. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, the surface of the soup will freeze.

Originally, snow stone was nothing in the extremely cold place of Ruiyuan, but this gemstone is like a magic weapon for other places in Jiuyuan that will suffer from the scorching heat in summer, and the price is naturally rising, and now a snow stone the size of an egg is worth a golden dragon.

And the snow stones in Čerda's bag are as large and small as thirty, and they are worth twenty golden dragons, and for Lin Suotu, he is making a lot of money.

However, how could Jadea and Gusmo, as Rouyuan people, hold so many Ruiyuan Snow Stones? This aroused Lin Sotu's suspicions. Lin Suotu wasn't uninterested in money, otherwise he wouldn't have sold the corpses, but he had to consider the consequences of owning these snow stones.

Everyone in Jiuyuan knows that Rouyuan and Ruiyuan have always been at odds and are still in a state of war, but from time to time, the two sides will conclude alliances for special reasons. Although Rouyuan resubmitted to the imperial court more than ten years ago, the Ruiyuan Yan clan, who had stopped and withdrawn their troops, still supported the army and respected themselves, and so far they have not bowed to the imperial court.

As a result, everything that flows out of Ruiyuan, including snow stones, will be traced once it is put on the market. Unless there is a certificate from the imperial court, it will be regarded as collusion with the Yan family.

Snow stone is a thing that can be sold directly at a very high price, although it can also be sold in the Underworld Market, but the price will be greatly reduced, because although Snow Stone is rare, it is far less rare than other rare treasures sold in the Underworld.

To sum up, if Lin Suotu gets these snow stones, if he doesn't have the supporting court documents, he will incur trouble, which is why he questioned the identity of the two.

Seeing that Lin Suotu did not have snow stones under his hands, Childa knew that the original plan would not work, so he had to take out ten golden dragons again, stack them on the table, and then put on gloves again, and carefully put those snow stones back in the bag and put them away.

Chierda's original plan was that if the purchase of the alien corpse was discovered, the Huayuan Imperial Court would track it down, and it would find the snow stone in Lin Suotu's hand, which would naturally link the matter with the Yan clan of Ruiyuan, and even if the matter failed, it would not be found on the head of the Rouyuan Tuo Si department.

However, Čerda underestimated Lin Suotu too much.

Lin Suotu looked at the golden dragons on the table, but said coldly: "Now the price has risen, twenty golden dragons." ”

When Gusmo heard this, he became angry: "What do you mean? How much does it cost to sit on the ground? ”

Lin Suotu smiled wickedly, and after snapping his fingers, all the strange corpses in the coffin behind him crawled out, turning their heads to look at Childa and Gusmo, which made the two nervous.

Gilda smiled and asked, "What does Boss Lin mean by this?" Isn't it negotiated? Ten golden dragons. ”

Lin Suotu put away his smile: "If you don't take out the snow stones, it's ten, but if you take them out, then you have to double it." The reason is very simple, taking snow stones to pay the bill is equivalent to pit Lao Tzu, since you have the heart to pit me, why can't I sit on the ground and start the price? ”

Childa still maintained a smile: "Boss Lin, you misunderstood......"

"I'm not mistaken!" The flesh on Lin Suotu's cheeks trembled, "Don't take Lao Tzu for an idiot, twenty golden dragons, or get out of me, if you want to do it, the result of the two of you will be two alien corpses, weigh it carefully, the warrior of the Torth Division." ”

Although Gusmo really wanted to slash Lin Suotu on the head with an axe, even if he killed Lin Suotu, they would die, and they couldn't get a specific way to feed the blood, so they had to give up.

Childa counted out ten more golden dragons: "The extra five are considered to be friends with Boss Lin, and I ask Boss Lin to keep it secret for us." ”

Lin Suotu put away the golden dragon on the table, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Tonight's third watch, go to the mass grave outside the town, and I will hand over the ten strange corpses to you immediately." ”

Gusmo naturally didn't believe it: "What if you don't come?" ”

Lin Suotu said arrogantly: "Even if Lao Tzu doesn't go, what can you do?" ”

Childa immediately said: "My subordinates have an impulsive personality, and they have offended Boss Lin, so please ask Boss Lin to calm his anger, and see you at the grave on the third watch tonight." ”

Lin Sotu just snorted coldly and watched as Childa and Gusmo walked away through the corpses.

After Gelda and Gusmo left the gambling house, the angry Gusmo was still there scolding, but Gelda suddenly said: "Don't you feel familiar with the female corpse that was changed into a foreign corpse by Lin Suotu?" ”

Gusmo immediately stopped: "If it's not a coincidence, the hairpin wearing that white bell should be the Snow Maiden of Rouyuan." ”

Gilda nodded, "Yes, it's the Snow Maiden, but how is it possible?" ”

Gusmo said: "The Snow Maiden's range of activities is limited to Ruiyuan, because those monsters can only live in the extremely cold land, and once they leave, they can't live at all. Moreover, how could the Snow Maiden dress up as a Nishihara Maihime and blend into the Nishihara caravan and enter Huayuan. ”

Gilda frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be that the Ruiyuan Yan clan did it?" ”

Gusmo immediately said, "How is that possible? Since the ancient Kunlun Dynasty, the Yan people have been hunting the Snow Maiden, and for the Snow Maiden, the Yan people are different enemies, and it is impossible for them to cooperate. ”

Gilda still didn't understand: "If Ruiyuan's people don't help, how can the Snow Maiden leave Ruiyuan and blend into the caravan of Xiyuan?" You must know that the Snow Maiden clan has no contact with the outside world at all, let alone people, and they will not have anything to do with other demon clans. ”

Gusmo gasped, he remembered the encounter a few years ago-

A few years ago, the Tors Department learned that there was a tribe in Ruiyuan who was dissatisfied with the oppressive rule of the Yan people and had a rebellious heart. At that time, the clan king, that is, Princess Baomeng's old father, asked Gilda to lead a sentry team of twenty-five people composed of Gusmo and other warriors, and quietly infiltrated the territory of Ruiyuan to negotiate an alliance with that tribe.

If the tribe agrees to ally with the Tuos, in the future war between the Tuos tribe and the Yan tribe, the tribe can suddenly attack from the rear of the Yan army.

Gilda led the sentinel into the territory of Ruiyuan without danger, and found the tribe under the guidance of the guide, but who knew that all the tribe members were frozen into ice sculptures.

Ruiyuan is located in the northeast of Jiuyuan, and it is in the cold winter for half of the year, but even if it is cold, it will not freeze all the people in this tribe who have long adapted to the cold to death, and many people who have been frozen to death are still in tents or caves, and everyone has a frightened face, and some people maintain a posture of escape, as if a sudden freezing cold wave.

Since it was only a small part of the tribe, Calla asked the guide to continue leading the way to find the rest of the tribe, but the guide sat slumped in the snow and prayed to the mountains in the distance, shrouded in white mist.

Gilda leaned in and heard the words "Yinxue" and "Snow Girl" coming out of his mouth, and seemed to be frightened.

Seeing that the guide did not dare to go any further, Gilda asked what was the matter?

The guide informed Childa that the only snow demon who could easily freeze people into ice sculptures in Ruiyuan was the snow demon, and among the snow demons, the snow girl known as the Yinxue clan was the most terrifying. This kind of youkai looks exactly like a human, but it is naturally beautiful, with skin as white as snow, and is good at ice and snow magic, and can freeze anything at the snap of a finger.

The Snow Maidens of the Yinxue Clan all live in the snow-capped mountains of Ruiyuan, because legend has it that there is also a snow demon country in the snow-capped mountains, which are composed of various snow demons and cannot be set foot by mortals.

The people of this tribe must have offended the snow demons, and if they continue to go to the rest of the tribe, they may also encounter the snow demons, and then all the people in this sentry team will not survive.

Although the legend of the demon has also prevailed in Jiuyuan for thousands of years, there are very few people who have seen it, and Childa has only heard the story of the monster after living for decades, and has never really seen it with his own eyes, so he naturally does not want to believe it, so he coerced the guide to continue to lead the way.

The guide had no choice, if he didn't go, he would die, and if he went, he would continue to move forward, comforting himself by saying that even if he died, he could at least see the peerless beauty of the Snow Maiden with his own eyes.

The group continued to move on, and when they reached a pass, because the weather was clear, they saw a woman standing under a large tree frozen in the distance.

When the guide saw the woman, he immediately knelt down, trembling with fright, and said that it was the Snow Maiden.

Gilda looked at the woman, and was indeed attracted by her beauty, but at the same time surprised that in such a cold place, the woman was wearing only a white light veil, and the white light veil loomed, as if it was not a piece of clothing, but as if it was composed of snow and mist suspended all around.

What Gilda remembers deeply is the white bell hanging from the hairpin on the woman's head, and when the snow wind blows, the bell makes a crisp and pleasant sound, which seems to play a melody that belongs only here with the snow wind.

Childa was about to step forward, but the woman raised her hand and motioned for Childa and the others to leave.

Of course, Childa didn't believe what kind of monster it was, because the legendary monsters were all fierce and vicious, so she wanted to go up and ask for clarification.

Who knows, when Cerda stepped forward, the woman turned away and disappeared into the swirling snow mist in an instant, leaving Cerda and the rest of the sentry team stunned.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Gilda still didn't give up and continued to search for the tribe, and she didn't know that bad luck would befall her.

That night, the sentinels found a cave to live in, lit a bonfire at the mouth of the cave, and worked in pairs to share the night. When it was Gusmo and Gilda's turn to be on duty for the night, they had just been woken up by the soldiers, and when they opened their eyes, they saw the woman they had seen during the day standing not far away.

The woman found that the two woke up, and did not run away, but raised her hand to point to the location of the two, and then a cold wave rolled over, and the soldiers who woke the two were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.

Jadea and Gusmo were directly dumbfounded, this time they saw someone frozen into ice sculptures with their own eyes, and for a while not only forgot to fight, but even forgot to escape.

The woman didn't hurt the two of them again, but turned and left the cave.

When the two came to their senses, they found that everyone else in the sentry had frozen to death except for them.

The harsh reality finally made Childa and Gusmo understand that what the guide said was not alarmist, and that the monsters like the Snow Maiden of the Yinxue Clan were real.
