In order to find a caravan that might be stuck somewhere, they went in the opposite direction to the snowfield, and in order to save fuel as much as possible, they chose to use the day.

But not long after leaving the camp, it suddenly became dark.

Although the location is out of the realm of the polar night, the days are still extremely short and irregular.

At this moment, darkness enveloped everything, there were no stars or crescent in the sky, and even the road under his feet could not be seen clearly.

In desperation, Liang Xin'an and Jing Rou could only light up the lighting car and move forward with difficulty.

Fortunately, for this action of the two, Kong Xiangdong squeezed out a large barrel from the already small reserves of hot oil, which was enough for them to use for two days and two nights.

But even the modified lighting car could only illuminate a small part of the road ahead, and the rest was absorbed by the viscous darkness that seemed to have a tangible substance.

In this case, the average person simply can't go far and has to lose his way.

Fortunately, the two of them made full preparations before coming out.

Jing Rou took out a compass from her bosom and began to discern the direction as she walked.

This was given to him by Huang Liang before leaving.

Although this thing is not unusual, it is a treasure that Huangliang has used for many years, not only accurate positioning, but also extremely strong anti-interference ability.

Relying on this, sorghum can be accurately located in the deep mountains and find precious mineral deposits.

But at this moment, in this environment, even such a special compass has become less useful.

The hands trembled as if they were drunk, vaguely indicating only a general direction.

After going forward for a while, Liang Xin'an suddenly felt a slight coldness on his face, and when he looked up, he found that there were snowflakes floating in the sky at some point.

In an instant, the road under your feet was completely covered by heavy snow.

Not only that, but the cold wind also howled, and the weather instantly became very bad.

Jing Rou wiped a handful of snow from her face and spat hard, "Damn, this ghost weather!" ”

"Senior brother, it's not okay to go on like this!" Liang Xin'an said solemnly.

He was not afraid of the wind and snow, but he was worried that once the snow fell endlessly, it would inevitably cause great obstacles to the next actions of the two.

"Let's walk and see first, if it really doesn't work, find a leeward place to rest first." Jing Rou said in a deep voice.

The next journey became more and more difficult, and the two took turns pushing the lighting car, and it took half an hour to get out of the road for four or five miles.

By this time, the snow had become so heavy that it was white as far as the eye could see.

The good news is that the darkness has receded a lot against the snow.

The bad news is that under the thick snow, all visible references have disappeared.

Rushing in such a situation is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

Even if there is a compass to guide you, you can't see the deviation when rushing because of the lack of references.

In this way, you may be off the course as you walk.

In desperation, the two had to choose a leeward place to rest, preparing to wait for the wind and snow to be lighter before continuing their journey.

In order to save oil, Liang Xin'an dimmed the lights a lot, and then draped the cold-proof cloak on his body.

Jing Rou dug out some dead branches from the snowdrift, dipped them in fire oil and lit them, and then built a bonfire.

Then Jing Rou took out a small kettle from the bag she was carrying, dug up some snow and put it in it, and then put it on the fire.

After a while, the snow in the stove melted and boiled, and Jing Rou took out some pre-chopped dried meat from a small jar and threw it into the kettle.

The porridge cooked in this way can not only warm the body, but also greatly replenish physical strength and calories.

And in the midst of this blizzard, any bit of heat is extremely precious.

Liang Xin'an watched from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but admire Jing Rou's rich experience in surviving in the wild.

At this time, the meat porridge was also ready, and after a few bites, Liang Xin'an felt that the whole person became warm.

But at this time, the wind and snow outside are still there, and there is a tendency to get worse, and it seems that it will not be able to stop in a short time.

Jing Rou's expression became very ugly.

As a person who has visited the sea several times, he knows the horror of this kind of blizzard.

It doesn't matter what level of martial artist you are, you have to be honest when you encounter this kind of weather.

Because the slightest carelessness may lead to complete disorientation, and at that time, Ren Ling's ability to penetrate the sky will also be eliminated.

At this time, Liang Xin'an also sensed that something was wrong, approached Jing Rou, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, why don't we go back to the camp first?" ”

In Liang Xin'an's opinion, he had just left the camp not long ago, and he should not have gone far.

But Jing Rou shook her head, "I can't walk, and I don't know what is interfering in this area, which makes the compass pointing very unstable." ”

"If the weather is normal, it's nothing, and with the correction of the eyes, the direction will not deviate."

"But now that the snow is covering, we have lost our reference goal, and any action may lead to the point of no return."

Jing Rou wasn't alarmist.

The most important thing in rushing on the snowy field is to find a reference, otherwise the endless snow will easily turn into a white hell, and you will fall into it before you realize it.

Liang Xin'an nodded.

He knew that he was very inexperienced in surviving in the wild, especially in this snowy field, so he would ask Jing Rou's advice on everything.

"Then aren't we going anywhere now?"

"That's right, let's wait here for the time being, and then hurry when the wind and snow have passed."

Don't look at Jing Rou's sometimes irritable behavior, she wants to bombard people with thunderbolts at every turn, but she is extremely cautious and sober in this matter of life and death.

"Okay, then I'll set up a tent."

Before leaving, Kong Xiangdong specially prepared a set of light tents for the two of them in case of emergency.

Liang Xin'an first cleared the ground out of an area, then set up a tent, and compacted the four corners with snow.

After a busy day, Jing Rou pushed the lighting cart to the side of the tent, and the brightness was also turned to the lowest.

The reason why it was not completely extinguished was because Jing Rou was worried that the ensuing extreme cold would freeze the oil again, and then it would be troublesome.

Then he moved the bonfire into the tent with Liang Xin'an.

Don't look at this tent is very lightweight, but because of the exquisite materials, it has excellent heat insulation, and the temperature inside will soon rise.

At this time, the wind outside was getting louder and louder, and it was like a wolf howling.

Even Liang Xin'an was secretly frightened at this time.

After all, he had never seen such a violent blizzard before.

Fortunately, the tent blocked, coupled with the warm bonfire, all this made Liang Xin'an's heart slowly calm down.

Jing Rou took out a wine sac and put it next to the fire to bake it slowly for a while, before unscrewing the stopper and handing it to Liang Xin'an.

"Warm up with a few sips of wine!"

Liang Xin'an took the wine bag, poured a few sips, and then let out a long breath.

"Damn, it's really a bad thing, it snowed like this not long after leaving the camp."

Jing Rou also took the wine bag, took a sip slowly, and then said in a deep voice: "This wind and snow are a little strange. ”

Liang Xin'an was stunned, and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because this snowstorm is so big, you must know that in previous years, even on the shores of Wufu Sea, there were rarely such snowstorms, let alone the edge of this northern snowfield."

"Is it related to the black ship?" Liang Xin'an asked in a deep voice.

Jing Rou shook her head, "No one dares to say this, but it's definitely not normal." ”

Liang Xin'an felt heavy in his heart when he heard this.

Before coming here, he thought that although the task was arduous this time, there was nothing that could stop him in front of the well-prepared and even well-equipped cannons.

As a result, I was slapped in the face by this series of accidents as soon as I came.

First the ghost monkey, and then the camp was sealed off by some unknown force.

When he and Jing Rou finally walked out of the camp, they encountered this rare snowstorm again.

This one thing after another does reveal weirdness and strangeness.

There was silence in the tent, and the two of them silently drank the wine from their wine bags.

This wine was specially prepared by Yang Zhan for the two of them, not only has a high degree, but also has medicinal materials that relax muscles and invigorate blood in the key.

Drinking and drinking, Liang Xin'an felt a sense of sleepiness coming.

Although he has been very vigilant and reminded himself not to sleep, his two eyelids seem to be hung with a thousand pounds of weight, and he can't open them.

After a few moments, Liang Xin'an felt like he had fallen into darkness.

I don't know how long it took, Liang Xin'an suddenly woke up from freezing.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the ground, the fire next to me had long been extinguished, and only a few faint sparks were flickering.

It was as cold as an ice cellar in the tent.

Liang Xin'an struggled to get up from the ground, and then saw his senior brother Jing Rou lying on the other side of the fire.

He stepped forward, "Senior brother, wake up!" ”

But Jing Rou didn't move at all, and she couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Liang Xin'an was startled, and immediately bent down and turned Jing Rou's body.

Jing Rou's body had already frozen as hard as ice, but after Liang Xin'an turned it over, he saw a terrifying scene.

I saw Jing Rou smiling, her eyes slightly open, and in her nostrils, there were maggots coming in and out.

Liang Xin'an screamed in fright, and then sat up from the ground suddenly.

"What's wrong? Having a nightmare? Jing Rou's voice sounded in his ears.

Liang Xinxin looked back with palpitations, and saw Jing Rou sitting by the fire looking at him, with a hint of doubt on her face.

Liang Xin'an breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded, "Well, it's a dream!" ”

"Hehe, I saw that you were a little too drunk just now, and when you lay on the ground, you fell asleep, and I didn't call you when you slept so soundly!"

Saying that, Jing Rou stood up and said, "It's okay, the wind and snow have stopped, hurry up and hurry!" ”

"The snow has stopped?" Liang Xin'an was stunned for a moment, and then listened carefully, and sure enough, he found that there was no longer the wolf-like wind outside.

Although there were still some doubts in his heart about how such a heavy snowstorm had stopped so quickly, Liang Xin'an still got up quickly and followed Jing Rou to the outside of the tent.

Really.

The wind and snow have indeed stopped, the earth is white, and the air is clear as if it has been washed.

The lights of the lighting car were still on at this time, and Jing Rou stepped forward and began to take care of it, and then without looking back, she ordered: "Go and put the tent away, and then we will get up and hurry." ”

"Oh, good!" Liang Xin replied, then turned around and prepared to clean up the tent.

But at this moment, as if he remembered something, he suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Jing! ”

"Huh?"

"Do you remember my nickname?"

Jing Rou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"It's okay, I just suddenly want to ask." Liang Xin'an said very calmly.

"Isn't it called Xiao An?"

"Well, Senior Brother Jing, you're going to be busy!"

Jing Rou lowered her head and was just about to pack up the lighting car, when Liang Xinan raised his hand to make a crossbow.

With such a close distance, coupled with being defenseless, Jing Rou certainly couldn't dodge.

But the strange thing is that after a pop, Jing Rou's body did not bleed, but quickly dried up like a deflated ball.

Liang Xin'an sneered: "Do you really think this trick can deceive me? I don't have a nickname at all! ”

As he spoke, the image in front of him began to shake, and then shattered violently.

When Liang Xin'an opened his eyes again, the fire in front of him was burning.

Jing Rou gently stirred the coals inside with a wooden stick to make them burn more fully.

The wind was raging outside the tent, but inside the tent was as warm as spring.

Liang Xin'an wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Jing Rou looked up and smiled.

"It's okay, it's just a nightmare."

"Oh? Nightmares? With your current cultivation, you shouldn't! Jing Rou said a little strangely.

You must know that after the martial artist's cultivation reaches a certain level, he will hardly dream anymore.

Liang Xin'an smiled bitterly, "How do I know, I just squinted for a while, and as a result, I had a dream within a dream, and I saw you ...... senior brother in the dream." ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"I dreamed that Senior Brother you died once, and you were disguised by other unknown things once......."

"Dead once? Is that so? ”

As she spoke, Jing Rou raised her head, a strange smile appeared on her face, and maggots were coming in and out of her nostrils.

"it!" Liang Xin'an was agitated and got up from the ground again.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Jing Rou, who was also sleeping in a daze, also quickly sat up and asked.

But looking at the familiar face of the senior brother, Liang Xinxin at this time only had a bad cold.

He quickly shifted his position backwards, secretly pulled the trigger of his crossbow, and asked in a deep voice.

"What's my name and what's my nickname?"

"Peace of mind, are you sleeping, why do you have any nickname?" Jing Rou asked inexplicably.

Liang Xin'an breathed a sigh of relief, then released the trigger, and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, don't blame me for being cautious, I dreamed of your ...... just now." ”

"What did you dream about me?" Jing Rou said faintly, a strange smile looming at the corner of her mouth.
