Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Trip to the Far North, Yubei Pass
The Far North, located in the northern frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire, has an extremely harsh ice and snow climate, and is recognized as a forbidden area for humans.
The closer it is to the core area of the Extreme North, the closer the temperature will be to the temperature of the Extreme Ice, and even extremely cold things such as the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Essence will appear in the core area, and there will be even more terrifying soul beasts entrenched in it.
The biting cold wind, the bitter wind and snow, the eyes are a white, endless barren ice field, and a coniferous forest growing together layer upon layer.
This is the main characteristic of this far north, and humans must be well prepared to set foot in this forbidden area.
Yubei Pass, known as the first Xiongguan in the north of the Heaven Dou Empire, is also the most prosperous place in northern Xinjiang, which is guarded by Marquis Gehu, the younger brother of the generalissimo of the empire.
Before officially setting foot in the Far North, Gu Rong planned to rest in Yubei Pass for a day to replenish supplies, and then find a soul hunting team that was familiar with the conditions here, and repair for two days before setting off.
Gu Rong is not afraid of the danger in this forbidden area, and the meaning of finding the team is simply to let them be the guides here.
The heroic Royal Knights escorted the two carriages into the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass looked sideways, wondering what kind of big man would come to this poor country.
Getting off the carriage, Ning Rongrong tightened the thick fur jacket he was wearing, looked at the sky and sighed, "It's so beautiful." ”
Brilliant light diffused in the dark night, blue, green, yellow...... The colorful light is like the fluttering skirt of the goddess, boundless to the end of the sky, and it looks particularly shocking.
Xiao Ye stared at the colorful sky and was silent, such a gorgeous scene, he also saw it for the first time, and he felt that his heart had been baptized, Xue Ke covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Is this the aurora?" ”
Xue Qinghe put his hand on her shoulder and said softly: "This is the aurora, the extreme north is a special place, most of the year, there is either night or only day, and the normal situation of alternating day and night is rare." ”
Looking at the brilliant aurora, even she couldn't help but lose her mind, it was the first time she had seen such a shocking beauty.
After settling down, Xue Qinghe continued: "The reason why this place is called the forbidden area of life is because after the aurora dissipates, the ice field will be covered by night. Humans' adaptability to darkness is much lower than that of soul beasts, and this environment is quite dangerous for humans. ”
Xue Ke nodded in understanding.
Gu Rong said with a smile on his face: "This is also the reason why we have to find a local soul master as a guide first. Without them on our own, it would be too difficult to find a suitable soul beast to use as a soul ring for the children. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please take these children to find a temporary place to stay first, and when the old man finds a suitable soul hunting team, he will join you."
Xue Qinghe bowed slightly to show respect: "Your Majesty is tired of Bone Douluo's troubles. ”
Gu Rong smiled and left directly.
Xiao Ye looked at Xue Qinghe and whispered, "Senior brother, where are we going now?" ”
Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered: "Let's go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion first." ”
Qian Lingxue secretly came here under the pretext of inspecting Northern Xinjiang, but Xiao Ye always felt that this woman had other purposes for coming here, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Xue Ke took Xue Qinghe's hand and asked curiously, "Brother Huang, are you going to the ice field with us tomorrow?" ”
Xue Qinghe said with a smile: "If the Bone Douluo crown is here, I won't follow it." The land of the extreme north is known as the forbidden area of life, and one more person is to let Bone Douluo consume one more experience. ”
"Besides, there are many things to do here for my brother. Before coming, his father wanted to comfort General Gehu for his brother, and he also wanted to bring the grace of the royal family here, so that the people of northern Xinjiang could bathe in the glory of the empire. ”
Xue Ke nodded as if she didn't understand, while Ning Rongrong glanced at her mouth, obviously not believing what her senior brother said, but she had the same heart with Xiao Ye.
What "let the people of Northern Xinjiang bathe in the glory of the empire" is all false, the real purpose of Qianrenxue's coming here is that she has also broken through, and she is here to find a suitable soul ring.
It is impossible for Xiao Ye to let Xue Ke keep the secret of the martial soul evolution theory, under Qian Lingxue's deliberate routine, this little girl not to mention selling Xiao Ye completely, at least poking out one out of ten.
The theory of martial soul evolution was naturally listened to by Qian Lingxue, and Qian Lingxue was not the slightest interested in the mess of martial soul atavistic evolution.
Her martial soul is already a god-level martial soul, and no matter what soul ring is attached, it will not be able to make her martial soul qualitatively improved.
As for the other part, the fact that the soul ring provided by the high-level soul beast would break the inherent restrictions of the martial soul aroused her very strong interest.
The main attribute of Seraphim is light, and the secondary attribute is fire, and the soul rings of the Thousands of Successive Popes are all from the soul beasts of these two attributes, and the skills obtained are basically not much changed.
According to Xiao Ye's theory, if the quality of the soul beast is high enough, then the soul ring provided can break the inherent boundaries of the martial soul.
It just so happened that when she was a child, she heard the golden crocodile say that there was a holy flame phoenix that lived in the extreme north for more than 10,000 years, the so-called "yin and yang", but this phoenix is now just qualified to be her fifth soul ring!
Wearing silver armor and a red feather helmet, the Heaven Dou Royal Knights opened the way in front of them, encircling the group in the middle to protect them, attracting sideways glances from passers-by on the road.
Obviously, they have never seen this battle before, and this is even more arrogant than the general's travel!
There was silence, except for the whispered discussion of pedestrians and the sound of the knights' uniform footsteps.
Xiao Ye looked at the city carefully, unlike the bustling and lively Tiandou, the streets here looked very deserted, and there were basically no vendors selling things.
Most of the buildings in Yubeiguan are made of a kind of gray stone with a stream of blue.
This stone, called "tundra bluestone", is a specialty of the Far North, and is very strong and has a strong thermal blocking effect, and is often used as a raw material for laying national highways and building aristocratic mansions.
The frost and snow cover the lapis lazuli walls, and the frozen edges of the roofs make the buildings in the city look more oppressive.
But fortunately, lanterns of different colors and brilliance are hung in front of each house, and with the alternating aurora in the sky, it neutralizes a lot of desolation and loneliness in people's hearts.
In the open space on the side of the road, you can see various styles of ice sculptures everywhere, some of which are delicate and delicate, even if they are not worse than the sculptures in the hands of celebrities in the imperial city, and some of them are made by children, which looks quite interesting.
Ice sculptures are also a major feature of Yubeiguan.
In this way, the group soon arrived at the General's Mansion.
