13 Insect Catcher

"Mr. Zhongli, aren't we going yet?" Chiyun looked at Morax beside him and asked.

The people around him were not far away, but none of them looked this way, as if they didn't notice that there were two people standing here.

Morax watched the busy people running back and forth from here, and from here he could already see the frozen valley in the distance, the trees and flowers frozen by the ice were still the same as they were a hundred years ago, and there were countless dense holes hidden under the vast cold fog, and from time to time the breath of snakes would quietly probe.

His eyebrows were light, and his tone was as usual: "The leylines under the mountain here have been eroded and sealed by the cold air, not only the Frozen Tree King Snake, but other forces are helping it suppress the power of the rock." ”

Chiyun's idle expression disappeared in an instant, his breath instantly became cold, and his tone was solemn: "Who is it?" Does the other person know you're here? Is it the Six Kings of the Star Sky? ”

Morax waved his hand, "No, they shouldn't have the leisure to do this painless thing right now. This erosion of the seal is not serious, but I am just curious about who is behind it. ”

Chiyun snorted: "It doesn't matter who it is, if you catch it, you will beat him first, so that he knows what to do and what not to do." ”

Morax shook his head lightly as if he disagreed with such remarks: "It doesn't have to be like this, I think he should be very confident in his own strength, but he can practice his hands for Ah Sui, maybe he can teach Ah Sui a little bit of such an optimistic and confident attitude." ”

Although Chiyun didn't understand why the young man was not optimistic or confident, he still nodded thoughtfully: "What Mr. Zhongli said is extremely true. ”

Chengwu paced in the tent, looking confident, but his steps were slightly messy, and the first team sent out sent back the news that the number of frozen mountain bags on this road had not changed, and everything was planned, but he was still worried.

The path they walked was on the eastern side of the Rapid Ice Territory, and beyond that was the realm where evil was frequent, and the human body could not withstand the infection of evil spirits. No living creature wants to be contaminated with evil spirits, so the Ice Serpent has deployed a heavy army here to prevent the evil from invading them.

In the middle of the border there is an abandoned snake cave that leads to the outside of the mountain, and evil spirits cannot enter, and the ice serpent cannot survive, because there is a river of magma in the depths of this place, and the temperature in the cave is so hot that people turn into pus in a moment or three.

Cheng Wu thought that they would not be able to break through the defenses of the Ice Serpent and would surely die in a head-on confrontation, but three years ago, at the cost of sacrificing an entire team, they had tried to escape from this abandoned snake cave.

As long as they can collect enough Ice Serpent remains, they will be able to get out of the cavern.

All the positions in the Frozen Territory are directly connected to the Frozen Tree King Serpent's dwelling, and if there is an anomaly, all of them will be wiped out, but this is the only place where they can at least explore the road, and all the areas in other directions have no return.

Those who came in from the outside were either separated by the powerful team, or the soldiers of the fighting army were captured or the people who migrated survived the melee between people and monsters. Some joined here, others tried to return the way they came, and the latter died on the way without exception.

Chengwu opened the bamboo slips on the table, his fingertips brushed the rough notches, and there were one name after another on them, vulgar, simple but also vivid.

If the plan is implemented, then the people on it, as well as himself, may not survive, and a small number of the children will be able to escape, remember the name of the family, and survive.

Sometimes he wondered if it was worth it, regretted it, struggled and wept, but in the end everyone agreed with the plan, because the result of sitting still was that there was no hope for all to die.

Hopefully...... As long as one person survives, hope will not be dashed.

But do you really want to watch them die one by one? Chengwu stood up and turned around a few more times, with tears in his eyes:

"God, can you see us?"

He rubbed a diamond-shaped piece of copper in his hand, a relic of his mother. Her mother, a nobleman who had been with the army and had been married to her father while passing through the area, said that her tribe had lived happily with the protection of the gods, but another more powerful demon god killed him, and the people of her tribe fled and eventually became outcasts.

He learned from his mother that the gods also have feelings, some are gentle and some are tyrannical, and the gods also die, and when they fall, the flowers and plants wither and the world is bleak.

Therefore, he gradually understood that it is not easy for those who are favored not to be forced to seek God's protection, and God may have his own difficulties. But in the time of life and death, Chengwu will also pray sincerely, if there is a merciful god willing to save them from fire and water, he will be worshiped in the world, and it will be endless for thousands of generations.

"Shhhh

"The Ice Serpent is coming! All on alert! ”

The Temporary Captain of the Escort is only seventeen years old, but he is already a family and has children, his son is still a baby who can't walk, and his wife is also a member of the escort.

He discussed with his wife that if one of them survived, he would have to take care of his son for the rest of his life, and he would not be disadvantaged if he remarried and remarried, and if they both died, he would ask Ah Lu and Ah He of the Sanyao family to take care of their son.

As early as when he took over the position of captain, he knew that he probably couldn't get out, but there was no way, they all knew how difficult it was to break through the siege, and it was too difficult for humans to survive in this barbaric era without any strange power and not enough food.

In the boxcar, the young man rubbed the top of the hair of several small radish heads, thinking that it was not unreasonable for Morax to like to rub his hair, but the hand felt good, and he could pinch the smooth and tender little faces of the radish heads.

This reduced his fear of communicating with these children by 90 percent.

Maybe he really lives too heartlessly, doesn't pay attention to anything, and can't think of the deep meaning and price of those daily lives that usually seem to be happy.

But now that he knows, he naturally won't let it go, saving people is a matter of course, what makes him more nervous is that he doesn't know what his strength is, wouldn't he fail if he can't fight?

Retaking the exam is a 30 percent increase in difficulty, and Morax is this harsh that makes the young man frightened, and he is so nervous about every exam.

The Rapid Ice Territory is one of the largest forces in the area, and Morax can beat them all at will, but he doesn't have to.

In front of the children, they all boasted about Haikou, so that no one would be hurt, and it would be embarrassing if they didn't finish it.

The warm halo spread out layer by layer like ripples on the surface of the lake, and the sharp ice thorns around it were smeared with a layer of light, and the cold air was sealed in the halo, and the temperature slowly rose and changed back to normal temperature.

The young man opened the roof of the boxcar and floated up like a cloud under the worried and shocked eyes of the children, and sat on the roof of the car.

He saw the blue-striped snake on a white background with a thick arm that was crawling this way, and was thinking about how to use that move, when he caught a glimpse of the surrounding ice thorn bushes, and suddenly had an idea, he took out a few stone beads with a smooth surface like a mirror from his arms and threw them out, the brightness continued to increase, and the guard looked at the sky suspiciously.

"Isn't the sun in ...... Brightened? ”

"What?"

The stone bead jumped up lightly, and at a certain height and angle, countless dazzling rays of light converged to a point, and the flames rose out of thin air, moving with the light that gathered a little, forming a prairie fire.

The stone beads smashed the ice spikes, and the broken ice rolled down the hole, and in an instant, countless snow-white snakes drilled out of the ground, surging out frantically, bursting into ice spikes in the flames and being blocked back by the invisible light mirror, gathering more strong light.

The makeshift guards and the children were stunned by the scene.

The young man waved his hand and moved the stone bead to gather a beam of light on the frozen tree next to him, dissolving the wrapped ice, and then jumped onto the tree, stepping on the slender branches, his body emitted a faint light, his expression was gentle, his long white hair fell quietly, and there were thousands of glows in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, there was the remains of a rapid ice snake.

Erle quietly raised his head and stared at the young man's figure, his eyes were extremely firm and persistent: "He is a god, he got rid of the strange snake for us, he saved us!" ”

Ah He opened his eyes wide, thought about it, knelt down, learned the etiquette when worshipping his ancestors, and looked at the figure that brought light reverently: "Thank you, thank you, Brother Ah Sui!" ”

Thank God, my brother doesn't have to die.

"Thank you, Brother Ah Sui!"

The young man jumped back to the roof of the car the moment someone knelt down to avoid this worship, and before he could come back to his senses, the system's long-lost prompt sounded.

He clicked on it and was speechless.

The system angrily typed words in the status bar: "They also call Ah Sui!" Why can't I shout?! ”

Shout and shout, how you like to shout and shout! I thought there was something new, but it turned out to be for this?

At first, he didn't let the system call his name so intimately because he was relatively wary of the system, but now he understands that this system is stupider than him.

"So, are you willing to make a pact with me?"

The golden jade barrier shield unfurled, blocking all the ice spikes, and the person who fell to the ground covered in injuries and closed his eyes and was about to wait for death opened his eyes suddenly, and the person who was stunned looked up in confusion while wandering and worried.

The young man was dressed in a luxurious robe, with dragon horns on his head, and his eyes were like gold and jade.

After the first person shouted "yes", everyone came to their senses, and they covered their bloody wounds, freed themselves from the shadow of death, and bowed down to the figure with tears streaming down their faces.

"The contract is made."

The huge rock spear suddenly appeared, and with a finger of the god's hand, it fell with boundless slaughter, smashing the cave palace where the frozen tree was located into powder.

"No, no! Wait a minute! Who are you? You dare to kill me? Lord Chan won't let you go! You-"

Out of everyone's sight, Morax blinked: "Well, this is an unexpected gain, I wanted to use the seal to lure the curtain over, but I didn't expect to know the name directly." ”

Chiyun looked left and right, looking at the rapid ice snake that was shocked into powder under the divine power spread by the rock spear below, and found that there was no place for his own, so he had to find a topic: "Can you find it if you know the name?" ”

Morax said: "And the breath on the seal, with these two things, it can be easily found with immortal arts. ”

Chi Yun looked dazed: "What is immortal art?" ”

Morax glanced at him, "Just ask what you can know, go down and help." With that, he turned and walked away.

Chiyun: "? ”

The young man ran to clean up the battlefield with his head full of question marks, surrounded by enthusiastic and reverent people, and he didn't understand what it had to do with that immortal art.
