Chapter 124: Strange Old Woman

Sunset?!

"Fire Boy." It wasn't until Huo Xu put on his robe that Xiyan raised his slightly drooping head and said with a light smile.

She was still as thinly dressed as she had come, with a ruddy complexion, as if she had been insulated from the bitter cold.

That beautiful scarf hung down to the waist, and the decorative meaning was greater than the effect of keeping out the cold.

"Hello Miss Xi." The body was almost naked in front of the two women, Huo Xu was indescribably calm in his heart, he smiled a little embarrassed, and nodded to the old woman.

"Cultivation doesn't come with the necessary things, it's rare! Young man, mother-in-law, I will provide you with Scarlet Source Crystal, Baicao Liquid, and cooked water, and it seems unreasonable to charge no charge. ”

This is the voice of the old woman, as if it came from the bottom of the sea, blocked by the sea, and the speed of transmission is surprisingly slow and difficult.

The old woman had silver hair and a dark face, and the dense deep wrinkles made the dark face appear a rock-like cold outline, and her eyes were almost narrowed into a glimmer of light, and occasionally there was a flash of light.

She is so old, like the embodiment of the vicissitudes of life, in the same frame as the sunset around her, the contrast between the two is stark, one is a vibrant shoot, and the other is a rotten wood that is about to return to dust.

Looking at the old woman, Huo Xu's consciousness almost wanted to be lost in an inexplicable ancient time.

"Mother-in-law, Huo Gongzi saved me, why are you so stingy with him!" Xiyan muttered coquettishly.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." The old woman's eyes opened slightly, she was smiling, and the short smile made the dense wrinkles on her face squeeze even tighter, "Yan'er, don't claim your benefactor hastily, what do you think, how could I let my own granddaughter risk her life to set foot in the hinterland of the plateau?"

From the moment she crossed the forbidden realm, my granddaughter was under the guardianship of her mother-in-law's divine consciousness the whole time······ All fours are gone!

However, it is undeniable that this young man is righteous, and he will be rewarded. ”

When talking about the "despicable man", the old woman was angry, and her accentuated tone seemed to be very violent, but in the end, it was a hasty end like a dragonfly.

For tens of thousands of years, the Xi tribe has always lived in a corner, trying their best to avoid a head-on conflict with the Gulin royal family and the imperial travelers, in order to protect themselves, even if the granddaughter of Fang Cai is in danger, the heaviest punishment that the old woman can think of for the perpetrator is only to make her limbs ruin.

Huo Xu naturally understood the old woman's helplessness, but when he heard the terrifying ability of the old woman's own "full divine sense guardianship", he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Surprised, Huo Xu saw the color of the old woman's robe clearly.

It was an orange robe, but it was badly faded, and it was about to fade into a gray robe, and there were nine six-pointed stars on the chest of the robe.

"Another pinnacle master? Hey, there are so many pinnacles in the world! Huo Xu sighed in a daze.

"Haven't you heard of a ditch and a bump? Hey, it's rare and weird! The old woman was obviously a little unhappy, and said with emotion: "Boy, you are very lucky, there are white rays of light on your hands, it is obvious that you have crossed the deep ditch of Yuanshi, and you can go all the way in the future, and it is expected that the big hurdle of the peak Yuanzai will not stop you from rushing forward."

Mother-in-law is a bitter life, since the day she married into the Xi tribe, she and many strong people, day and night against the hateful storm and tsunami, under the evil sea devouring the devil's mouth, for the clansmen to survive, so the accumulation of hard work became sick.

The mother-in-law is now in her old age, and the dry fire in her body is too strong, and she is unable to cross the big hurdle of the peak Yuanzai, so she can only calm her heart and calm her dryness in the extremely cold ice cave, and spend her last years silently. ”

Huo Xu squinted slightly, not understanding why the old woman poured bitter water on an outsider who had a plain life, and secretly chewed on the meaning of the word "anti-dryness", and suddenly remembered Shangguan Wei in the Evil Cold Valley, and felt that the old woman in front of her was probably the same as the old man Shangguan, who was subject to the mutation phenomenon in cultivation, rather than being hindered by the big hurdle of the peak Yuanzai.

"Mother-in-law." Huo Xu gradually calmed down, and felt a trace of inexplicable closeness to the old woman, so he shouted with Xiyan's seniority.

The old man seemed to be quite useful, and his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and the furrow-like wrinkles became lighter.

"That's it, for the sake of your sweet mouth, the cultivation things that Granny Fang Cai provided for you are all free." The old woman opened her eyes wide, stared at Huo Xu, and said slowly:

"Young man, your cultivation method is very different from that of Xi and the Great People, and you are not even afraid of the strange cold caused by the volatilization of Kua Bing and Min Bing, could it be that you are cultivating some kind of ice system to collect the divine skill?"

Praise ice? Min Bing? Huo Xu nodded subconsciously, but he suddenly realized in his heart.

Although the temperature here is low, it is roughly the same as the temperature in the cold valley, and the two do not show too obvious temperature differences, and the temperature drop is very outrageous, which is caused by the volatilization of Kua Bing and Min Bing!

The former can instantly reduce the surrounding temperature to minus 160 degrees Celsius when volatilized, and the latter is even more terrifying, forming a small area with a temperature as low as minus 200 degrees Celsius and lasting up to ten breaths.

Huo Xu couldn't help but feel very glad that after being devastated by Kua Bing and Min Bing, he was able to be safe and sound!

This experience meant that he could travel freely in most of the Extreme Cold Star Domains, without worrying about the remnants of the mid-level cold energy in the space, if he had the opportunity to swim in the vast galaxy.

"But······ When I was cultivating, I faintly sensed the existence of flames, why was that? There was still a trace of doubt in his heart, Huo Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Seeing that you are crazy to absorb and refine ice energy, the scene is quite amazing, mother-in-law out of curiosity, sprinkled some praise ice, Min Bing, I wanted to see what you will do after the sharp cooling, but you are fine, but mother-in-law herself is not lightly frozen, no way, mother-in-law has to sprinkle some blazing stone to keep warm."

The old woman waved her hand, and under the disturbance of the air current, the figure was like a phantom, she and Xiyan floated away from the ice at the same time, and after the slight whistling stopped, the two of them were already standing straight in front of Huo Xu.

"After the flames rose, you probably completed the switch of exercises in an instant, but the aura is average, if your mother-in-law guessed correctly, you should have been practicing the family fire system exercises at that time." The old woman said.

"Not bad." Glancing at Xi Yan, Huo Xu asked: "This is another Praise Ice, Min Ice and Blazing Stone, the temperature in the cave has dropped sharply, your granddaughter ······ Can Miss Xiyan stand it? ”

The watery eyes flowed slowly, Xiyan pinched the corner of the scarf with both hands, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, I am not afraid of the cold, I am not afraid of fire, I was born like this." ”

Born this way? Huo Xu was dumbfounded, and he really doubted life in his heart.

Human beings are carbon-based creatures, and unless their strength is cultivated to the point of being good, otherwise, ordinary people will not be able to stand the scorching flames and the invasion of strange cold.

If what Xiyan said is true, with her cultivation, she actually has the amazing endowment of extreme cold and high temperature, which can only have one reasonable explanation: when she was a child, she experienced some kind of unbelievable adventure!

So, what about the adventure that made her fearless of the flames and the extreme cold······

The old woman's voice sounded coldly: "Listen to Yan'er, your name is Huo Xu, you are from Luofei City, and your surname is Huo ······ Well, the Capital Fire Clan is subordinate to the Five Clans Alliance. Tell me, who is your father? ”

"Huoli." Huo Xu said.

After being silent for a long time, the old woman said with a little disdain: "Nameless, I haven't heard of it." ”

The frowns and reopened, and a trace of anger can be swept away from Huo Xu's eyes.

"Who are you?" The old woman asked again.

"Uncle." His tone was slightly cold.

"No wonder!" The old woman turned her head to look at the entrance of the cave, and said quietly at the frosty moonlight: "Huo Feng can be called a cultivation wizard, but unfortunately he fell young, which is really regrettable." ”

Like a candle flame extinguished in the wind, the light in her eyes faded suddenly, she turned her head and sighed gloomily: "Isn't this the case with the young and strong people of the Xi tribe!" Ten years ago, eight hundred men and women of the Xi clan were conscripted and never returned, and now the strong people of the tribe are old and young, and they are not accepted, alas! ”

This sigh touched Huo Xu's sensitive nerves, and he secretly smiled bitterly, and the trace of resistance to the old woman in his heart disappeared instantly.

He knew that the thirteen tribes of the East China Sea, including the Xi clan, were all hard-working tribes, and they were once exiled here for angering the Gulin royal family, and they were not allowed to leave the forbidden area without permission, and whenever the empire launched a war, the strong people here were the most convenient group of people for the royal family to recruit, and the thirteen tribes did not dare to disobey.

Unlike the Five Clans Alliance, which was able to receive various compensation after the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the Xi tribe sacrificed a lot for the Empire's Northern Expedition, but gained nothing afterwards.

In order to survive in the coastal area that is not suitable for human habitation at all, they never dare to disobey the will of the Gulin royal family, and are accustomed to welcoming them and living humbly.

"The past is always sad, don't mention it!" Putting away the sadness floating on the old face, the old woman slowly approached, stared into Huo Xu's eyes, and asked, "You really came from afar, really just to see the scenery?" ”

Huo Xu hesitated.

Lies always put pressure on conscience, not everyone can open their mouths to come, not to mention, this time to go to the beach to pursue the color pupil girl, but also rely on the assistance of the Xi tribe, if you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the trip.

However, there were some matters that were too sensitive for him to mention rashly.

The Xi tribe had paid a heavy price for the empire's northern expedition, and at this time, if the matter of Cuishan was revealed, and the five forbidden flyers were suspected to be survivors of the northern expedition, and the old woman was told that the colorful pupil girl they were chasing was the suspect who killed the five flyers, God knows how the Xi tribe would react!

Tame and rebellion are often the relationship between the inside and the outside, under the humble posture, there may be hidden unyielding souls, once the critical point is pierced, the consequence is that people's hearts are crazy, disasters are rampant, the entire Pomp Plateau will be bloody and bloody, and people will be rolling.

"A peerless powerhouse appeared in the southern suburbs of Luofei City, his strength is afraid that far surpasses Yuan Hao, out of curiosity, I and the other thirty Yuan Shao of the Five Clan Alliance tracked all the way here by airship, and did not dare to fly over the coastal mountain range rashly, so they landed on the Pomp Plateau and camped on the spot." Huo Xu's words are carefully considered.

"A strong man who is stronger than Yuan Hao? Oh my! Xiyan blurted out, her eyelashes flickering, her eyes faint, and the whole person was immersed in the terrifying artistic conception set off by a bizarre story.

"Hehe, hehehe······" After a brief moment of surprise, the old woman laughed and laughed, just as if she had heard the most outrageous joke in the world.
