Chapter 20: Keeping the Cold Out

Although Wednesday wanted to leave all the bandits behind, after all, it was only one person, and he was not very familiar with the environment here, so only two bandits were left behind, and three or four escaped.

Looking at the bandits lying on the ground and the women crying, Wednesday secretly shook his head, untied the ropes of those women, and said, "You guys go quickly, I can only help here, maybe the thieves' rescuers will come when it's late." ”

Those women were desperate, crying miserably, and after thanking Wednesday, they left in a hurry.

Although Wednesday had the heart to send them down the mountain, when she thought of Margaret, she still hardened her heart and didn't do it. However, why hasn't this task been completed yet? Do you have to wait for the women to return home? After carefully studying the prompts given by the system, I still didn't find any key clues. It stands to reason that he had rescued these women as Margaret had ordered.

Could there be anything else going on? Wednesday thought hesitantly, but when she thought of Margaret again, Wednesday decided to go back first. If he escorted those women down the mountain again, he didn't know when he would come back, and if something happened to Margaret because of this, he would typically pick sesame seeds and lose watermelons, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Thinking of this, Wednesday decisively went back to round with Margaret. It's just that unconsciously, following these bandits for more than 2,000 meters of mountain roads, where can they go back for a while. When Wednesday was about to return to the place where Margaret had been hiding just now, he heard a miserable cry and hurriedly hid.

After seeing those scenes clearly on Wednesday, I secretly said in my heart: Sure enough, I knew that this task was not so easy, and those poor women were arrested again. The women who had just been rescued by him were all strung together with their hands tied sturdily this time, and they were escorted by more than a dozen armed men like prisoners. These armed men are much more elite than the bandits just now, not to mention tall and sturdy, all of them are wearing uniform armor, and they look very strong. What's more, in the middle of the team, there is also a red-collared black-robed mage riding a horse, riding on a horse and looking around, and two big men specially help him to pluck the branches above his head.

Who are these people? Could they be thieves too? Thinking of this, Wednesday secretly said that if this mage was there just now, he would probably be unlucky. Just as Wednesday was about to let them go, he suddenly saw a group of horses in front of the mage, and the woman tied to it was very familiar.

Because she was lying on horseback, she couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her clothes and hairstyle, it was Margaret.

Wednesday's heart was cold all of a sudden, and he didn't have time to think about why Margaret was discovered by these people, so he just gritted his teeth and glared at the mage with hatred. Fortunately, these people were more restrained than the group of thieves just now, perhaps because of the existence of the mage, but they didn't make any excessive moves against these women in front of so many people.

What to do? What to do? Wednesday was secretly anxious, thought about it again, took the path and ran to the front, hid in the place where the first sneak attack on those bandits, and decided to do another sneak attack.

When these people come to this place and see the dead and wounded in this place, they will definitely stop to check the situation, and then he will have an opportunity. If you can catch that mage, you might be able to do some wonders.

Wednesday squatted on a tree about ten meters away from the scene of the incident just now, hiding in dense branches and leaves, waiting for the mage's arrival.

Half an hour later, the horse team full of women and booty arrived, and Wednesday knew why these elite bandits were walking slowly. Their horses carried a large number of supplies, mostly grain, and some gold and silver, all of which were relatively heavy, and naturally they were much slower when they went up the mountain.

Of course, it may also be that they think the women are too eye-catching, so they sent people to escort these women back to the cottage in advance.

Whatever the bandits thought, Wednesday just wanted to get Margaret out of here right now, and get out of here. As for the women, they can only ask for more blessings for themselves, if he has the chance, of course he is willing to save them, but he will definitely not put himself in to save them.

As the caravan slowly approached the place of the incident, some of the women cried in horror, fearing that the bandits would be angry with them. The mage had a frosty face, looked at the dead and wounded and blood donations in one place, and said coldly: "Save those who can be saved, put aside those who can't be saved, and go back to the cottage first." ”

Wednesday watched the mage silently from the trees in mid-air, and when he was in ambush range, he swooped down from the trees like a falcon pounced on him. But as soon as he left the tree, he suddenly saw the mage turn his head and point his staff into the air.

Wednesday was in the air and didn't have time to change direction, so he could only stretch out his arms and cross them in front of his chest to block the white light that came from him. The power of the white light was not great, and it made a soft sound when it smashed on his iron armguard, and Wednesday wondered what kind of spell this was, but he soon felt that something was wrong, and before his body hit the ground, he felt a little cold in his arms.

The chill from the arm guard made Wednesday shiver, and soon he felt a little cold, followed by a cold feeling like it had penetrated into the bone marrow, and in less than a second, his arms were already as if they were not obeying. Encountering this sudden attack, Wednesday was horrified, and as soon as he landed, he rolled over the path and rolled down the mountain forest like an ape.

The mountain forest is not very steep, but it is not very easy to walk because it is unvisited all year round. But Wednesday was in a hurry to run for his life, because he didn't care about the situation in front of him. A few hundred meters later, Wednesday relied on his super agility and strength to shake off those pursuing bandits.

Finding a place with a wider field of vision and sitting down, Wednesday grinned at his arms that had condensed a layer of white frost, he was no longer conscious, and it spread towards his body, as if to freeze him.

What kind of spell is this? Water or ice? It's so powerful? Wednesday waved his arms and collided lightly, making a thud of ice cubes colliding, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, it would be miserable if he smashed his arm. What should I do? Wednesday looked at his arms that were as hard as iron but completely unfeeling, and he was a little overwhelmed.

There are still iron armguards to help him block it, otherwise I'm afraid he will be hurt even more. Wednesday was secretly annoyed, but there was no good way for a while. By the way, is there any use of internal force? Wednesday thought about his "Mixed Yuan Jin", and hurriedly opened the system layout, and found that there was an additional state behind the health value, "Frozen".

Fortunately, the health value has only dropped by about ten points, it should be the blood that was scratched by branches and thorns when he escaped, and the internal force did not consume a few points, because his attack had not started yet, and he did not consume internal force to deal with those bandits just now.

The internal force is sufficient, sit cross-legged on the ground on Wednesday, and then focus on the dantian part and begin to guide the internal force value to the position of the arms. "Mixed Yuan Jin" is only a D-level internal strength, and he only practices dantian qi, and he doesn't go to his arms when he usually runs, so it doesn't affect the cultivation of internal force much. But now it's a bit difficult to hit the frozen parts of your arms.

But no matter how hard you work, you have to work hard, otherwise what should I do? Wednesday drove his internal force to impact the meridians of his arms over and over again. The effect is still there, and it can be felt, and most of the cold qi that penetrates into the body is dispelled by the internal force. But it's not easy to completely thaw your arms.

Over and over again, Wednesday's internal force was like a warm stream, but those cold air condensed on Wednesday's arms like a huge rock, almost unmoved by Wednesday's internal force. If you grind it slowly, it's not that you can't solve it, but it won't be until the Year of the Monkey, when it is estimated that Margaret has been eaten and wiped clean.

Thinking of this, Wednesday was anxious and slightly distracted, and the internal force immediately showed some signs of distraction, a little unrestrained in the meridians, and began to run around. Wednesday hurriedly collected his mind and slowly guided his internal strength to return to the dantian.

And in the process of Wednesday's internal force returning to the dantian, the cold qi on his arms quickly pressed into Wednesday's body as if he had found a breakthrough. Feeling a trace of coolness in his body, he was horrified, and hurriedly urged the internal force that had just been restrained, dispelled the cold that was forced in, and then withdrew the internal force.

But as soon as Wednesday's internal force was withdrawn, the cold air on his arms was about to come out, such as in three, Wednesday suddenly felt that his arms seemed to be a little more conscious, what was the situation? Thinking back to what had just happened, Wednesday laughed and withdrew his internal force into his dantian, allowing the cold air in his arms to slowly spread throughout his body.

It wasn't until he felt a little cold all over his body that he didn't rush to urge his internal force on Wednesday, like hot water pouring snow to dispel the cold in his body little by little. The feeling of being cold and warm made Wednesday moan uncontrollably. It's so comfortable, it's like stepping into a warm tub on a cold winter day, and it's warm from head to toe.

What made Wednesday even happier was that he had some sensation in both arms, as if the cold air in his arms was slowly melting.

In fact, the reason is very simple, those cold air condensed in Wednesday's arms, and he could only do a little bit of water grinding if he wanted to dispel it. But on Wednesday, he recovered the internal force and took the initiative to introduce the cold into the body.

In this way, those cold gases seem to be large-scale, but they are relatively thin, and they are naturally easily dispelled, which not only has a good effect, but also saves several times the time.

It's like a piece of ice, and if you want to cover it with your hands, it will take a long time, but if you crush this piece of ice into tiny ice foam, it will only take a few seconds for it to melt into water.

In less than half an hour, Wednesday's arms had fully regained consciousness, and he stood up, silently opened his mouth and laughed a few times, then dodged and jumped into the woods.
