Section 16 The Frost Armor King

Poof!

The short blade slashed into the flesh and reached the handle.

boom

Then Xu Yun's whole body also hit her.

Uh~hum~!

The woman let out a painful sound that was not human, and the black flame-like smoke maintained on her hands dissipated in an instant as if the gas stove had been turned off the valve.

Xu Yun did his best in this rush, and the two people who collided with each other fell into the snow on the side.

The light from the Landis Flame Slash was extinguished, and the battlefield was once again occupied by the darkness of the night. Xu Yun remembered Tima's guidance when he fought with the Bloody Dog in Ice Chip Village before.

The right hand holding the short knife gripped the hilt and turned the knob with all his might, trying to widen the wound, but a pair of cold, slippery palms touched his wrists before he could exert his strength, locking his next movement.

"Little thing, you can't run." The female voice is low and cold, and even causes the surrounding air to emit an eerie resonant vibrato.

Landis's fiery sword danced in the middle of the snow, and three sharp cones were flicked away by the sword, and the broken awls tumbled in the air and burst into purple fire.

Dogs barked in the direction of Sanjin Town at the far end, and several more torches ran back and forth on the city wall.

Then a red meteor arced from the far sky.

When Xu Yun heard the dog barking, he glanced in the direction of Sanjin Town out of the corner of his eye, and happened to see the meteor rising, the meteor was unusually fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a fireball the size of a cabbage and rushed into the battlefield.

Rumble!!

The fireball smashed to the ground, and the red flames exploded into a ball of fireball the size of a carriage the moment it touched the snow, tearing everything around it into countless pieces of debris.

The entire battlefield was lit up.

Even though Landis was only a few meters away from the explosion location, he calmly pulled his sword and only looked at the enemy who was illuminated by the flames. The shock wave and gale wind from the explosion caused the tail of a single pony to dance violently behind his head, and the hem of his long trench coat flew in the air.

His front feet slowly lifted, and his back legs bent violently, and boom! The snow exploded behind him, and the fiery sword and him had turned into an afterimage, slamming straight into the nearest Fallen Demon.

The demon almost instinctively raised the iron staff in his hand to block it.

Click!

The iron rod was cut in two diagonally from the middle, and the man seemed to have no weight, and was knocked backwards under the tremendous force of the sword's slash.

It quickly opened up a short distance.

"There's even a Vision Knight hidden in Sanjin Town!"

"He's an archer!"

The burst of fire rose into the air with the heat and the remaining fire elementals, the light and heat confused the surrounding air, distorting the light, and leaving an arrow in the center of the ground after the meteor fireball exploded.

"Withdraw!"

In the middle of the field, the demons rose from the ground one after another, turning into a cloud of black smoke sticking to the ground more than a meter high and flying into the woods on the other side of the road. The slowest of them was caught up by Landis, who had re-launched his sword skills, and a sword slashed out of the smoke and fell to the ground and rolled in snow and mud.

Before the man could stop rolling, Landis moved cleanly and slashed his head.

"If you don't want to be an assassin, don't come out and learn from others to do assassination." His eyes were fixed on the direction in which the demons were fleeing, and his voice was cold and he spat out the words.

"Timmy, how are you?" Then he shouted in the direction he had caught glimpsing of Timmy in the light of the fire. However, after several breaths, he received no response.

"Timmy?!" Realizing that something was wrong, Landis shouted again and ran towards the battlefield where Timmy was fighting. Unfortunately, the light from the flaming arrows has been extinguished, and the battlefield has been shrouded in darkness again.

"Oh no, was it killed? No, this kid doesn't look like a short-lived ghost. It may have been injured and passed out. ”

He carried a flaming sword as a torch to illuminate, and quickly searched for it in the midst of the battle-torn battlefield.

Nothing was found in that area of the battlefield.

Landis reversed his mind and traced the trail from where the original horse was.

The maroon white-flowered war horse, which was destined for Xu Yun, fell to the snow and wailed, and when the war horse saw Landis, he struggled to stand up, but one of his front legs was broken, and he could only use the remaining front leg to struggle in the snow, but he couldn't get up.

Whew~Whew~

White heat erupted from his mouth and dissipated in the icy darkness.

In the distance, soldiers from Sanjin Town came to support in a queue, holding torches and approaching. Landis extinguished the blazing flames on his sword, and looked silently at the mountain forest hidden in the darkness in the direction of the demons' escape.

"Boy, whether you can survive or not depends on your luck."

Click~~Click.

"Landis." A female voice came to him before the supporting team, and the woman with a longbow leaped through the snowy field, crossing a distance of several meters with each step that landed and then soared into the air.

She landed lily and stopped a few paces away.

"How's it going?" The woman's eyes lit up with a star-like brilliance, scanning the battlefield. "I saw your horse before, and here is another one, it seems that you are not the only one, and what about the other one?"

"We were ambushed by the Demons, and he may have been captured by the Demons."

Landis then succinctly recounts the attack.

"This group of damn madmen, who were just defeated and killed by the Knights a few days ago, even dared to come back for revenge! It's so rampant. The woman cursed under her breath.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then exhaled white breath and said:

"Organize a rescue team and go up the mountain to search.

Since it is a seedling that you and Tima are optimistic about, it is likely that they will grow into the backbone of the Knights in the future, and they can't just give up. ”

Landis nodded.

"It's still going to be searched, but there's not much hope.

They used a very strange way of moving when they fled, leaving no footprints in the snow, and hid in the mountains, which was too difficult to find them in this season. ”

"Maybe the hounds can find them."

"I hope so······ Where exactly will they hide, it will only get colder in the mountains during this season. ”

Even the demons need supplies, shelter from the wind and rain, and warm and comfortable rooms to rest. There are still ten demons left, where can they hide?

In a cold, dark space.

I don't know how long I was wrapped in and flew, and I don't know how far I was taken, after getting out of that wonderful state of incarnating black mist, Xu Yun immediately let go of the hand holding the short knife, and the woman's hands holding his wrists also let go, and he raised his hands high and carefully retreated to the side.

"This little ghost is interesting."

A voice sounded next to him, its tone was slightly low, but it was no longer as eerie as it had been in the previous fight.

Hula~

The brazier was lit, driving away the darkness that had entrenched itself in this dry, windless space into the distance.

This is not so much a cave as a ruined ruin, and by the light of the fire, Xu Yun can see several sections of blue-gray masonry walls blended with the rock walls of the cave, as if the walls and clay have been kneaded and mixed together. Several deep sharp object scratches on the wall are striking and unusual.

Several figures dressed in black thick felt robes appeared in Xu Yun's field of vision.

These people took off their hoods one after another, revealing exotic faces of different hair colors, but apart from the fact that their faces looked a little pale, they were no different from ordinary people.

The woman who fell to the ground breathed softly and briefly, and her body couldn't stop trembling slightly. A woman came to her and crouched down.

"Bear with me."

Before she could finish speaking, she had pulled the short knife out of the wound, bringing out a flash of red blood mixed with a little purple. Blood spilled on the ground, rising a white heat that quickly condensed into ice.

The woman's right hand pressed on the wound, her lips squirmed and collided quickly, and Xu Yun could only vaguely hear a few strange pronunciations.

Then I saw a dark green shimmer under her palm.

"Anton didn't come back." Someone spoke.

"If you're dead, you won't be able to survive if you're caught up by Landis." Naturally, there is an interface

"The Dawn Eagle has always shown no mercy to its captured prey."

"Who is this kid? Aren't Ragofender all red-haired? ”

"I thought he was Landis's younger brother, but I didn't see what he looked like until this time, and I didn't think he was still a Liyue man."

Xu Yun wore a hood when riding a horse.

"Not all black-haired people are from Liyue."

"His eyes are black too, so where else but Liyue has eyes of this color?"

"It can't be Tillard and Connie's cubs, I've heard they have a child left behind in their home in Mondstadt."

Hehe~

The laughter was a little cold.

"My eyes are blue, and Tillard is gray." A female voice rang out. "Even if Tirad is injured, you can make such jokes?" The woman who spoke was clearly the same Connie as before.

She came to Xu Yun, who raised her hands, pinched his cheek with one hand, and looked down condescendingly.

Xu Yun was forced to look at the woman in front of him, and the edges of those blue eyes were mixed with some brown, which was not pure.

The two stared into each other's eyes in silence.

Xu Yun couldn't see any emotion in her gaze. She seemed to have noticed something, though, and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Timmy is thin and suffering from a stubborn illness, but he can't grow up to be such a beautiful noble young master."

"But his eyes are black, unlike me and Tillard." As if he didn't want to see this young man's face who dared to look at him again, the five fingers of his cold and white palm shook lightly, turning Xu Yun's face to the side.

The palm of her hand moved down, stroking on the white fox fur on Xu Yun's neckline, and seemed to be very satisfied with the feel of the fox fur, and then she helped Xu Yun tidy up the folds on the robe coat.

"What a good outfit, it must be warm to wear."

"And my poor boy doesn't even have a decent winter coat to last the first winter after we're gone." The corners of her mouth hooked and said, "It's been two and a half years since we left him, and this should be the third winter." How can an eight-year-old child survive these two and a half years in that poor and cold mountain village without the care of his parents? ”

Xu Yun was breathing desperately with all the pores all over his body, instinctively telling him that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more dangerous.

"Connie, stop talking." Another male voice interrupted her deeper, darker voice. "I don't regret the ceremony, but this memory has left it in the dust."

Ay~

Connie sighed, her voice extremely soft. If it weren't for Xu Yun getting close, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard it. But in fact, even if he heard it, Xu Yun automatically ignored it.

'It's bloody, Landis suspects that these two are the parents of the predecessor, but he didn't expect it to be. ’

If Landis hears this conversation, Lao Tzu will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River. ’

"Camilla is in charge of treating serious injuries, and minor injuries are up to you. I'm going to check on the big guy and make sure the seal is still working. Now that there is one less person, the energy burden required for the seal is somewhat more than for us. The man's voice was deep and mellow, and there was no objection from the black-clothed people in the audience.

"Bring this little ghost over too, lock him up with that big guy, and he won't dare to do anything out of the ordinary." Connie patted the black hair on Xu Yun's head with one hand and showed a beautiful smile to Xu Yun.

To be honest, this woman is very beautiful, with the kind of beauty that is unique to East-West people. But when she smiled, her eyes were so cold that they were almost frozen, Xu Yun didn't feel the slightest kindness in this smile, she was like a smiling devil, full of viciousness and cruelty under her beautiful appearance.

"You seem to like him a lot, why would you suggest such a suggestion?" Another man in black next to him asked.

"Like? How can you tell? Did I say I liked him? Connie turned to look at the man.

"Isn't he a little like your child?" The man interfaced.

"It's because his features are so similar to Timmy's that it's all the more so. I don't want to see him again for a moment, don't let him appear in front of me again, and if it weren't for the plan, I'd want to strangle him with my own hands right now and let him go and be Timmy's company. In the voice of the woman gritting her teeth, the hatred could almost be condensed into substance, dripping to the ground.

"Are we going to keep planning?"

"Which do you mean? The one who unsealed the veins of the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, or the one who transformed this little thing into a companion? ”

"The nuns of the Aeolian Church have re-sealed the sealing area, even if they can't repair the part that has been broken in a short time, with our current manpower, we can't enter the sealing area and continue to break the seal."

"The power of the Ancient Demon Dragon is too strong, with the strength of a few of us, we can't even stand around the seal."

"But it's still easy to use the power that leaks out to convert a few people."

"But for such a little ghost, transforming into a companion won't be a big blow to Lygunfender, right?"

"Anyway, as long as I can make that Landis guy miserable, I'll be happy."

"Of course, I am the same."

"I agree." Everyone spoke up and agreed.

Connie shrugged.

So Xu Yun was escorted out of the cave by the black-haired man who was probably the father of this body.

The man whose name was Tillard grabbed a half-burned firewood from the brazier and used it as a torch, but the light of the torch was limited, and it could only illuminate a few meters from a distance of his body.

Passing through the gloomy and cold hallway of the ruins, the two entered the downward staircase, which had several fractures and cripped bricks at the bottom of the side wall that only one person could barely get through. The fracture was deep and dark, as if connected to a huge underground space, and Xu Yun could hear the low howl of the cold wind on the other end.

After several turns, they walked through two corridors full of ruins and broken walls, and walked for about ten minutes to the two of them came to a doorless relic room.

Tillard stopped looking at Xu Yun and walked straight to the door frame, using his fingers wrapped in a layer of black mist to lightly touch a few marks that were obviously newly carved.

Xu Yun only noticed that the darkness in the room in front of him seemed to be thinning, and he didn't see any other changes.

Tillard walked into the room with the torch framed, while Xu Yun stood outside the doorframe, quietly watching the light of the torch circle around the room, the vague outline flickering under the swaying firelight, leaving him no more time to identify.

After a while, Tillard walked out, and when he saw Xu Yun still standing honestly, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go inside.

You can try to escape, and as for the consequences... I don't promise it's going to be nice. There are other monsters that we can't handle in this ruin, and if you want to be their snack, I'm not against it.

Perform the ritual and you'll have at least half a chance of surviving. ”

Xu Yun tried to see the man's face clearly, but he had been wearing the hood and never took it off, and at this time, the torch used by Chai He was held up by him at his waist, and there was a shadow under the hood.

He could only obediently step into the line separated by the door frame. Xu Yun's senses were keenly aware that the temperature in the room was even lower than that of the corridor across the line.

"You've heard our conversation, and for the sake of how much you and Timmy look, I'll give you a piece of advice, stay here honestly." The man said as he continued to tap on the stone wall next to the door frame.

Soon a layer of darkness separated him from the boy, and the two of them were separated from each other in two different areas.

"Where the hell am I now?" Xu Yun asked as he tried to gather more clues.

"I thought you were going to intercede with me, or maybe shouting out that you were Timmy's ridiculous lie, but I didn't expect your first words to care about that.

Well, in fact, it doesn't matter if you tell you, it should be a reward for your courage. Tillard's voice rang out on the other side of the darkness.

"This is a relic in the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, and it is located in... Hehe~ Next to the leyline seal contaminated by the power of the demon dragon guarded by the church. ”

The man was speechless.

Xu Yun heard the footsteps gradually disappearing, he tried to touch the darkness in front of him, and his hand turned out to be an almost physical wall, and he patted it but there was no response.

Ay~

Well, at least for the time being.

Lao Tzu has really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, how can it be good wherever he goes?

It didn't take long for the eyes to get used to the darkness in the room, in fact, the room was not completely dark, there was a circle of purple symbols on the ground that Xu Yun couldn't understand, their light was so faint and dim, almost integrated with the darkness.

But at this time, with the help of the fluorescence emitted by them, Xu Yun vaguely saw a huge figure entrenched in the center of the purple ring that surrounded him.

Xu Yun tentatively approached the past, but found that the closer he was to this circle of luminous symbols, the lower the temperature. But it's still within my own tolerance.

The figure entrenched in the center of the symbol circle seemed to be asleep, Xu Yun could hear the sound of even breathing, and before Rad came in and took a turn, it was also motionless.

So he boldly approached it.

When I got closer, I could see that the symbols that emitted a shimmer on the ground were actually very bright, but they seemed to lock all the powers that could emit light within themselves, and the glimmers that Xu Yun had seen before were only a very small part of what they overflowed.

It's a magical sight.

The light emitted by the symbol is really limited, and even if Xu Yun walks next to the symbol, he still can't see the figure that is encircled in the center. He could only make out a pair of feet, the feet of a pair of huge shoes wrapped in thick animal skins sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Recognizing the feet, he also recognized the big thick legs that were coiled, and then saw the apron made of thick animal skin.

Well?

It's kind of familiar.

Xu Yun followed the faintly visible silhouette and cast his gaze at the upper body of the figure, and then saw a pair of open golden pupils.

Whew~Whew~

The sound of breathing became low and heavy at some point.

Little by little, cold particles of blue-white light quickly lit up from the darkness around those pupils, gathering towards the huge figure.

In just a few moments, a barbed and hideous, brilliant frost armor hung on this figure. At the same time, every detail of its body was reflected in Xu Yun's eyes.

A pair of huge horns encased the ice, and the shoulders, chest, abdomen, and forearms were covered with a thick and stoic layer of ice. This ice is made by the condensation of the ice element, so it will emit a radiant glow.

The pupils of the pair of golden eyes the size of Xu Yun's fist began to bloom with blue-white frost light.

A layer of blue-white energy visible to the naked eye enveloped its entire body.

"! Hilichurl Frost Armor King! Xu Yun almost blurted out. What is the most powerful monster on the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain? The Frost Armor King should take his place.

Xu Yun stepped back almost without hesitation, trying to widen the distance between him and the Frost Armor King, but his speed of retreat was obviously not as fast as the Frost Armor King's punch.

Bang!

Xu Yun was punched away by a huge fist wrapped in ice.
