163 Qilian Mountain, ice and snow, Tibetan Valley, wind and rain across the rainbow
Liu Sangyu's warning poured everyone's enthusiasm like a basin of ice water, and then, there was an inexplicable fear in everyone's hearts, Wen Yue'er said anxiously: "What to do, let's hide in the cellar quickly." ”
"No, it's impossible for us to hide in the cellar now, the snow beast will definitely dig three feet into the ground!" Li Haoran said.
Fang Lin raised his hand to stop everyone's gossip, and said, "Don't panic, now we are marching due east, don't worry, I have also laid some high-level beast attraction talismans in this city, even spirit beasts can't resist." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but admire it again, Fang Lin was really prescient and had already made preparations, even Ashina Simo, who had always hated Fang Lin in his heart, had to admit Fang Lin's foresight, at this time, his heart was shaken a little, and he asked if he should be an enemy of Fang Lin.
After receiving Fang Lin's order, a thousand people stood in formation within three breaths, and then quickly ran due east, and soon disappeared into the vast wind and snow, about thirty breaths later, the rumbling sound of running was getting closer and closer, and more than 10,000 snow beasts came to Luobu City again, and the leader of the beast group was a powerful second-level mid-level spirit beast!
As soon as the snow beasts entered the range of Rob City, they immediately became agitated, because they smelled the breath that made them crazy, it was the treasure they longed for day and night, and after a while, all the snow beasts divided into ten groups of different sizes and rushed in ten different directions, and then, the battle between the snow beasts inevitably broke out••••••
"Fang Lin, why are we running due east, can't the south?" Qu Shan'er asked Fang Lin as she ran.
"I've carefully studied the map around Rob City, and according to the route of the snow beast's attack, the only escape directions we can choose are indeed east and south, but the south is an endless snow field, which can be said to be almost a flat river, stretching for thousands of miles, such a long distance, do you think we can run past the tracking of the snow beast herd?" Fang Lin asked rhetorically.
"So what's the difference in the east, we've all run for more than a hundred miles, but it's still an endless snowfield!" White Lotus Road.
"No, eight hundred and fifty miles to the east is a large mountain range that runs through the entire Sangkun Department, called Qilian, this mountain is very steep, and it is impossible for snow beasts to go up at all, and therefore, there are no other snow beasts on Qilian Mountain except for some high-level flying snow beasts." Li Haoran said.
"The most important thing is that if the snow beasts track us, they will only chase us to the bottom of Qilian Mountain, so as long as we go up Qilian Mountain, we can get rid of the snow beasts." Fang Lin added.
"But my lord, I see that the previous snow beasts were only about 10,000, and there were not a few second-level spirit beasts among them, such a lineup can be easily solved for us, why did you leave the treasure full of cities and run away without a fight?" Liu Sangyu asked puzzled.
"Those snow beasts must have been attracted by the fluctuations generated by the previous battle, they are just some vanguard troops, as long as they make a summon, a large number of snow beasts will pounce on them behind, and even third-level spirit beasts may appear." Fang Lin Road.
"Then why don't we go back to our cellar from before, it should be safe, and our royal dart cart is still in the cellar." Wen Yue'er couldn't help but interject.
"No, the first time you can hide the search of the snow beast group is because of surprise, the second time the snow beast group will definitely dig three feet into the ground, the wisdom of the ice phoenix is not comparable to those low-level snow beasts, as for those goods, there is no way to do it, if we are lucky, it is possible to get it back when we return to Rob City in two or three months, if it is really lost, then there is no way." Li Haoran said.
"Oh, it's a pity, Rob City, such a big treasure slipped out of our eyes, but fortunately, all the belongings of the three major forces have already arrived in our hands, hehe." Ayinata's nerves are in the way.
The Qilian Mountains almost traverse the entire Sangkun tribe, isolating the two major tribes of the northern kingdom, the Sangkun tribe and the Bulqi tribe, and only one pass in the southernmost part can be passed; The average height of the mountain is 2,784 zhang, the highest peak is called the misty peak, more than 6,000 zhang high, there is a valley under the peak called the Tibetan Valley, the valley area is about the same size as a Luobu City, the strange thing is that this valley is like spring all year round, the flowers are red and willow green, but there is no demon beast survival in the valley, and there is no other valuable thing, plus the mountain road is difficult to walk, so few people will come, but there is a legend about the Tibetan Heaven Valley in the northern land, saying that there is a great secret hidden in it.
However, for thousands of years, almost all the warriors of the Northern Kingdom have explored the Tibetan Heavenly Valley, but they have found nothing except for the thirty-six caves, and in this way, this legend is considered nonsense, as a joke of the people.
"Oops, oops, this Qilian Mountain is really, high, steep and difficult to climb, and there is nothing, it is really poor to death, how can it be like our Yu Mengshan, rich and easy to walk, hum." Qu Shan'er climbed up a large ice rock and complained.
"Hehe, Shan'er is a little money fan, and she can't forget to get rich on the way to escape." Ayinata teased.
"Hmph, you still say that I have the ability to pick it after seeing the purple stamen yin flower, don't be in a hurry to pick it, throw it away as garbage." Qu Shan'er said angrily.
"Hmph, what do you know, it's a rare treasure in the world, and I only hear of its name, it is said that the Gu poison made with it will even be hit by the strongest in the realm of life and death if they are not careful." Ayinata said.
"In fact, there are treasures on this Qilian Mountain, such as purple jade Xuanshen, Bingtian Snow Lotus, Xuanbing Dew, Ice Shenzhi and other precious medicinal materials, as well as extremely cold attributes such as Xuantian Bingluo." Frost said lightly.
"Fang Lin, are we going to cross Qilian Mountain to go to Bo Qibu?" Suddenly, Princess Xiangxiang asked Fang Lin, who was looking at a map.
Hearing this, Fang Lin raised his eyes from the map to look at everyone, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said categorically: "No, let's not go to Bo Qibu first!" ”
Bai Lian was immediately startled when she heard this, and subconsciously said, "Don't go to Bo Qibu!" So where do we go, it's impossible to return to Sankun now. ”
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled: "Lian'er's imagination is really rich, how can we not return to Sangkun Department now." ”
"If you don't return, and don't go to Bo Qibu, then you can only stay in this Qilian Mountain." Wen Yue'er said casually.
"I think ~~~ Yue'er is probably right, Fang Lin should be this plan!" Li Haoran said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, and Qu Shan'er hurriedly spoke: "Fang Lin, you don't really want us to dig up some purple jade ginseng, ice snow lotus and other things in this mountain. ”
"Definitely not, I think it should have something to do with the map Fang Lin is holding." Frost said.
Fang Lin raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing, and then spoke: "Indeed, as Sister Shuang said, this map indicates a palace of a senior master, originally I was also going to find an opportunity to explore, but now it is just right, so next, our destination is Ethereal Peak!" ”
Hiss~~~ A gasping sound sounded, Li Haoran looked up into the distance, and muttered: "Ethereal Peak is about two thousand eight hundred miles away from here, but these two thousand eight hundred miles are all steep mountain roads, and the temperature is still so low, in such an environment, it is impossible for a strong person in the reincarnation realm to fly for a long time." ”
"If we walk like this, I'm afraid it will take three days and three nights, and in such a bad environment, it is very likely that someone will fall off the cliff." Wen Yue'er said.
"It's been a long time, but you're underestimating us people, all the people here are elites, how could there be such a mistake, hehe." Fang Lin smiled: "The most important thing is that this treasure is worth risking with our lives!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, others may not know the meaning of Fang Lin's words, but the twenty or so people present are all Fang Lin's henchmen, but they know it clearly, with Fang Lin's current value, ordinary ruins and tombs can't arouse his interest at all, but this palace in front of them is worth risking with their lives, that is to say, this treasure in front of them is probably a very remarkable treasure, is it a treasure left by the strongest person who has returned to the void in the realm of life and death?
Next, Qu Shan'er wanted to ask something, but she was stopped by Li Haoran's look, she couldn't ask too much at this time, after all, there were so many people around.
The steepness and difficulty of Qilian Mountain far exceeded Fang Lin's expectations, and the icy and snowy environment increased the difficulty for them to move forward, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes at this time was an ice wall about thirty zhang high, the ice wall was almost perpendicular to the ground, the wall surface was flat and smooth, and they couldn't even find a trace of strength.
"Damn, how do we want to get past such an ice wall?" Dongfang Lei looked at the ice wall carefully, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
Fang Lin also frowned and looked at this ice wall, then looked around, took out the mountain map of Qilian Mountain and compared it carefully, Li Haoran came to the front and said softly, "Can you bypass it?" ”
Fang Lin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, except for the road we just came to, there are thousands of cliffs around here, and the special environment here completely restricts the martial artist's ability to fly, so if you want to go to Ethereal Peak, you have to climb over this ice wall." ”
"Then can you ask the elders to fly us over?" Qu Shan'er said.
"No, the cold here requires us to devote most of our energy to resist, and I don't know what the situation is, the maximum altitude we can fly here is only four or five feet." Fang Meteor said.
"Then how are we going to get there, we can't be told to run for nothing." Ainata pouted.
"Look, this ice wall looks like it was dug not long ago!" Just when everyone was at a loss, Frost's voice came to everyone's ears.
When everyone heard this, they immediately surrounded them, and sure enough, they saw that there were a few very shallow traces of excavation on the ice, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you couldn't find it at all.
Bai Lian frowned and said: "With such a shallow trace, I'm afraid someone wanted to dig this ice wall, but in the end they found that the ice surface was too hard to excavate, so they finally gave up and left." ”
"No, Lian'er, you missed one thing, and that is the temperature here and the never-ending wind and snow." Princess Xiangxiang spoke.
"What does that mean?" Ayinata asked first, she grew up in the hot and humid Huanhua wetland, and naturally didn't know much about ice and snow.
Bai Lian frowned and was puzzled, a pair of eyes full of questions blinked at Princess Xiangxiang, but this time it was Dongfang Lei who solved the doubts for her: "The wind and snow here are very big, if you just dig a very shallow trace on the ice, it will be refilled in less than two breaths, and you can't see any traces, since we came here, it has been nearly five breaths now, but when we first came, we didn't see obvious traces of excavation on the ice, that is, before we came." , those traces have been almost filled, so according to this calculation, this ice surface has been dug out at least to the depth of one foot of ordinary people, and the hole should not be small! ”
"But what does that mean?" Ayinata asked.
"Oh, stupid, I can't figure this out, this means that someone has already ~wen~la~" before us." Qu Shan'er deliberately dragged out her tone.
"Not only that, but these people also showed us the way to climb over this ice wall, hehe." Fang Lin said, and then gave Fang Cheng a look, Fang Cheng understood, and immediately walked over and took out a corner-level human-level broadsword and began to cut the ice surface.
Crunch~~ A tooth-sour sound sounded, Fang Cheng's big knife slashed across the ice, bringing up a series of sparks, however, to everyone's surprise, there was only a thin and shallow scratch on the ice, and it was just that in the stunned eyes of everyone, the scratch was filled back, and there was no trace at all.
Everyone was shocked, and Bai Lian said: "How is this possible, how is this possible, so how did those people dig it before?" ”
"I don't know, but I'm sure they have a special method, but what should we do now?" Fang Meteor frowned.
Princess Xiangxiang thought for a moment and then spoke, "Elder, you can try cutting along the traces left by those people before. ”
Fang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately began to act, the blade slashed through the previous gap, and a series of sparks were also rubbed out, but the effect was countless times better than on the ice before, which made everyone feel happy, however, the frost on the side frowned.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although this effect is much better, but we have to dig a road that can be passed by everyone, I'm afraid it will take a long time, after all, the repair function of this solid ice is too strong, I'm afraid we have to find a more effective way!" Frost said.
Everyone nodded in agreement after thinking about it for a while, Fang Lin said: "We have to come up with a good way, the climate here is extremely consuming for our True Yuan, and if we don't move for a long time, the consumption will be even greater, so everyone should think about it." ”
"Hehe, you think, I'll dig like this first, it's better than nothing." Fang Cheng said with a smile.
Suddenly, everyone gathered in groups to discuss with each other, and Qu Shan'er said, "We can use sharper weapons, such as horn-level heaven-level ones, this will definitely speed up a lot!" ”
"Shan'er, you are generous, do you know how many weapons we have in total?" Fang Lin asked with a smile.
"Well, I don't know, I think it should be a lot." Qu Shan'er stuck out her tongue and said.
"Hehe, so do you have any horn-level heaven-level weapons?" Ayinata said with a smirk.
"Hmph, you are a dead Ah Yin, you know the stinky display all day long, and you know that your snake staff is terrible, maybe it's still a spirit staff, hum, but that's not what you can get." Qu Shan'er said sourly.
"Hehe, Shan'er, you misunderstood what Ah Yin meant, she is telling us that even you don't have horn-level heaven-level weapons, so it is conceivable that our horn-level heaven-level weapons are pitiful, how can they be used to waste on this kind of ice-digging thing." Li Haoran said with a smile.
"So, how many Horn-Rank Heaven Rank weapons do we have?" Qu Shan'er asked curiously, she really hadn't thought about this problem before, and she just thought that she was unlucky and didn't get the long whip of the Horn Rank Heavenly Rank.
"We only have a total of seven Horn-level Heavenly Rank weapons, my staff, Dongfang Lei's double blades, Elder Li's fist gloves, Elder Elder's spear, Elder Meteor's finger buckle, as well as Senior Brother Gao Meng's big axe and Golden Dragon's dragon head cane." Fang Lin Road.
"What, there have always been so few weapons in our Horn-level Heavenly Rank, even Ying Long's predecessors don't have them, and besides, shouldn't the sword that my family Haoran used to use be Horn-level Heavenly Rank?" Qu Shan'er was surprised.
Concubine Shu chuckled and knocked Qu Shan'er's head and said, "You girl is really nervous enough, and she can't even figure out what grade Haoran's weapon is." ”
Wen Yue'er and the girls didn't speak, they just covered their mouths and giggled over and over again, Qu Shan'er was really embarrassed now, looking at the girls and saying angrily: "What are you laughing at, hum!" With that, he twisted his face to the other side and stopped looking at the women.
"Hehe, so Shan'er's proposal doesn't need to be considered, let's think of other ways." Fang Lin Road.
"So can we use more people to dig it, that would also improve a lot of efficiency." Wen Yue'er proposed.
"This can only be regarded as a no-go solution, hehe." Fang Lin said with a bitter smile.
"Now that I and Chang Lao have spiritual weapons, we can actually use the edge of spiritual weapons to give it a try, after all, what is consumed is only our true yuan." Li Haoran proposed.
"Actually, I think Fang Lin can also attach his thunder power to the weapon, after all, the restraint of the thunder attribute on the ice and snow attribute is quite obvious." Princess Xiangxiang spoke.
Fang Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his thigh and said, "That's right, why did I forget this stubble, let's try it!" ”
Everyone looked a little excited, and when they came to the ice wall, Li Haoran took out the spirit sword and entered the true yuan, and suddenly the blazing white light on the blade of the sword was great, and Fang Lin also stretched out his palm, condensing a ball of thunder attribute true yuan power and carefully attached it to the sword of the spirit sword, and suddenly the blazing white light showed purple lines.
Li Haoran slowly approached the spirit sword close to the traces left before, and without a sound, the sword disappeared into it, Li Haoran gently swiped the spirit sword horizontally, and the ice layer that was as hard as iron was easily cut like tofu, Li Haoran shouted excitedly when he saw this: "There is a door!" "Immediately I started cutting the ice.
This discovery made everyone excited, so with the efforts of Fang Lin, Li Haoran and Fang Cheng, it only took a short stick of incense to carve a "road" to the top of this ice wall, and Fang Meteorite laid a simple formation, temporarily blocking the wind and snow from repairing the ice wall.
••••••
The scene behind the ice wall was completely beyond everyone's expectations, it was not a steep mountain wall as imagined, nor a rugged mountain road, but a huge ice surface, smooth as a mirror, stretching for hundreds of miles, until the end of the ice stood a towering ice peak, with wisps of mist swirling on it, giving people a feeling of unreal and ethereal, that is the ethereal peak!
Such a scene made everyone unimaginable no matter what, for the sake of caution, Fang Lin did not let everyone act in a hurry, but sent Fang Yingxuan and Fang Yingling, two Nai He Realm powerhouses, to explore the way, and then sent Gong Keming and the Void Spirit Dao Man, two Nai He Realm powerhouses to explore the other line that was thirty zhang away from Fang Yingxuan, and later sent two Nai He Realm powerhouses to explore the third line thirty zhang away.
Unexpectedly, the exploration of the three lines was very smooth, there was no imaginary danger at all, and the ice was extremely strong, at this time, Fang Lin no longer hesitated, causing everyone to gather all their breath and quickly move towards the Ethereal Peak.
It was only recently that everyone was surprised to find that this so-called ethereal peak was not a mountain peak at all, but a giant pillar with a diameter of about three hundred zhang, but the outer layer was wrapped in ice, and there was no end in sight when it went up, and it was impossible to climb up the pillar, because under such weather conditions, the consumption of people's true yuan was very huge, and the higher it was, the lower the temperature, the greater the pressure, and the more terrifying the consumption, but it was very strange that there was a circle of spiral ice tracks wrapped around it. The width of the ice track is about enough for three people to slide side by side, and it is estimated that if you slide down this ice track, you will reach the bottom of the Ethereal Peak, which is where the Tibetan Heaven Valley is located.
Looking at the hovering ice road, Fang Lin was silent, and after a while, Qu Shan'er couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Fang Lin, what do you mean by this, are we going down or not?" ”
"Down, of course we have to go down, but I'm thinking, the people who came up first should have gone down to the bottom, if we go down so rashly, will the other party directly riot and kill!" Fang Lin Road.
Qu Shan'er was stunned when she heard this, she really forgot about this stubble, and at this time Fang Shenxing spoke: "Patriarch, let the old man and Ah Cheng and Huangfu Jing go down first, after three breaths, there will be the Golden Dragon Brothers and Bi Yun, and then the three people from the Reincarnation Realm, and the others will go down, Ah Li will bring Ying Xuan and Mrs. Shi to the back, so it should be safe." ”
Fang Lin thought about it for a while and thought that this was the best arrangement, and when he was about to nod, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately took out Ashina Nissan's map, and after a careful comparison with the surrounding environment, he finally found some of the strange things.
"Haha, I see, this Ashina Nisan is really cunning, and he actually made such a deal of the map, if it weren't for the fact that seeing this ethereal peak gave me a trace of inspiration, I really couldn't find the strangeness of this map." Fang Lin laughed.
"What's the mystery, tell us about it!" Ayinata said hurriedly.
"Look." Fang Lin folded the map in half along one of the broken lines, and suddenly the maps on both sides were combined, but the messy graphics in the middle were hidden, so that everyone could immediately see that this was the Ethereal Peak, and down the ice path was the Hidden Heaven Valley, but the map of the Hidden Heaven Valley below was only half, and there were some other lines that could not be seen.
"I see, this Ashina Nisan is the treasure he found in the Hidden Heaven Valley, which has greatly improved his strength, but why is this Hidden Heaven Valley only half of the map?" Concubine Shu frowned.
"It's very simple, because Ashina Nisan is not the only one who knows about this treasure, there are also people from the other side, and the two sides will split the map in two, and then make an appointment to explore the treasure again!" Li Haoran said.
"So those people before should be the other party who made an appointment with Ashina Nissan, maybe it is another party, from which we can infer that the strength of the other party should not be much different from Ashina Nissan, so in this way, we can pretend to be Ashina Nissan's people to mix in first, and when our number is enough, we will launch a fatal blow to them, the treasure here is very important, and it must not fall into the hands of others, let alone anyone else know!" Fang Lin said coldly and ruthlessly: "Elder Meteor, the situation below will be commanded by you in a while, and you will act when you see the opportunity, and the purpose is to kill them all!" ”
Looking at Fang Lin's solemn expression, Fang Meteor knew that the matter was probably not as simple as just a treasure, otherwise Fang Lin would not have made such a cold and somewhat reckless decision, after all, if there were many people below, there would be a lot of trouble, and it was very likely that the other party would have something like a spirit treasure in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Lin took out the map given by Granny Lan and observed it carefully, then raised his head and said: "There is no passage in the valley below, so if they want to leave, they can only return the same way, Elder Meteor, you act, don't do it when you see someone after you go down, just say that you are Ashina Nisan's people." ”
Fang Shenxing nodded, and slid down with Fang Cheng and Huangfu Jing, followed by Fang Li with the Golden Dragon Brothers, Meng Xuan and the two deputy generals followed, Bi Yun, Liu Sangyu and Fang Yinglong did not rush down, but changed to the powerhouses of the Nai He Realm, and it was not until more than thirty Nai He Realm powerhouses went down that Fang Yinglong and the three of them went down.
Fang Lin looked at the four Dharma cultivators and the two martial cultivators in the team and said, "The six of you are guarding this ice road entrance, once you see the signal I sent, you will release the snowball technique and roll down the ice road, don't worry, there is a forbidden sky array down here, no one can fly!" ”
Fang Lin then designated two more people to protect these four cultivators, and then the rest of the people just slipped down one by one.
"Bastard, how many of you are here, why can't Ashina Nisan come down, or is he ready to break his word and kill us all?" When Fang Lin slid down, he heard such an angry voice asking.
"Hehe, how is this possible, the young master of my family will come down soon, don't worry." Fang Meteor smiled.
"Hmph, tell us not to worry, you see how many of you have come down now, they are all close to six hundred, and all of them are masters, and our two families together are only a little more than seven hundred, how can you call us like this without doubting your motives!" The other, rougher voice said angrily.
"Hmph, I'm sorry to say that we, you two are so neat, and your people are not mediocre, I still doubt your motives." Fang Meteor suddenly became angry.
Perhaps it was because they were told that they were in their hearts, and the other two of them fell silent for a moment, but the next moment, words that surprised Fang Meteor came out of the mouth of one of them.
