Chapter 55: A Snowy Night
There seems to be only one color left between heaven and earth, endless white, dazzling white, so white that it is pale, so white that it makes people panic, so white that it makes people frightened.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the woods and through the treetops, bringing up snowflakes that shone in the moonlight, like stars falling into the world.
The woods have long been covered with a thick layer of snow, creating a world of icy snow. Snowflakes fell on the branches, dressing them up as white and flawless, and ice marks settled on the branches, as if they were going to dress them in silver-white costumes.
In the depths of the woods, deep footprints were trampled on the silent snow. At the end of the footprints, the sound of crackling firewood burning became the only sound in this lonely snowy night. The lonely figure next to the fire closed his eyes and recuperated, but he did not feel sleepy.
The so-called "open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend." "If you choose to continue to stay in Yuguanmen, sooner or later you will be poisoned by the commander of the legion, and Wulu does not have the habit of standing under the dangerous wall, so Wulu has decided not to go back for the time being.
When Wu Lu was close to the border of the Great Wilderness, he planned to directly cross the Northern Plains Forest Sea and return to the Northern Wilderness, and then find a village to re-register himself. Changing your name and surname is still very simple in this turbulent era, you only need to pay a large sum of money. But when it comes to money, Wu Lu is also very big. For Wulu, as long as money is involved, it is not a trivial matter.
Although he had plundered the knight squad of the Kelda Kingdom, he had always hidden that wealth in the imperial capital of the Bai family. It may be that since he can remember, he has been worried about money, so he has been in the habit of saving money since then in case he needs it.
However, compared with money, the current Wulu is facing a greater dilemma. He had been stranded in this snow forest for several months, and even Wu Lu himself didn't know exactly how many days. This endless snowy forest seems to have no boundaries, and it seems that there will never be an end.
Wu Lu put another piece of firewood into the burning fire, as if this was the only way to make him feel a little more at ease.
He had grown up in the southern wilderness since he was a child, and he had never seen real snow from the time he was born until he left for the imperial capital. Snow was just the words he saw in books, snow was just a beautiful scenery in the eyes of travelers from the north, and snow was just a memory of a long time ago in that person's mouth.
"The snow in the imperial capital is beautiful!" When he said this, the man's eyes were full of smiles. To this day, Wu Lu still remembers the look on that person at that time.
He had a longing in his heart, and he had a longing for it.
The first time I saw snow was when I stayed at Bai's house in the imperial capital during the winter vacation that year. I remember that day, Xiao Yuer forcibly dragged him to the street to buy paper-cutting, that is, that time, he was hated by Wu Qiming, a genius young man at the school, and then there was a later valley night fight.
I vaguely remember that day, the snowflakes in the sky flew in the air like feathers, and then slowly fell on the head, on the body, and on the face of the Yiren. It was a thrilling beauty, so beautiful that Wu Lu could never forget it for the rest of his life.
"So this is the snow in that mouth!" At that moment, a voice screamed violently in Wu Lu's heart.
It's just that Wu Lu never thought that this snow would one day become so pale and so desperate.
At this time, Xiao Yu'er's red face also entered Wu Lu's mind, and he didn't know how the little girl was now, and a smile appeared on the corner of Wu Lu's mouth.
Thinking of Xiao Yu'er, he remembered the experience of wandering after leaving the Martial Ancestor God Tomb, but at that time, Xiao Yu'er was by his side, and he seemed to have the whole world, so he had nothing to fear.
Suddenly, a terrible howl came from the depths of the woods in the distance, which disturbed the land. I saw that with a wave of his hand, the snow on the ground quickly rose up, covered the fire and extinguished it, and then held his breath and sneaked over.
Now Wuwu Lu is one of ten thousand, a powerful general, in this kind of snow forest without wild beasts, ordinary beasts and poisonous insects can not pose any threat to Wulu at all. Therefore, this time, Wu Lu did not choose to escape, but went to investigate. What's more, the howl seems to be the sound of a human, and having a human means having access to information about this snowy forest, which is why Wulu is willing to take the risk.
Under the moonlight, a group of aliens dressed in green clothes and with long green hair were forming a huge circle, as if they were performing some important sacrifice. In the middle of the circle are several large trees, each with a human man tied to it. Only the man in one large tree was screaming and struggling desperately, and the men in the other trees were motionless, looking lifeless.
At this time, a woman walked out of the group of green-clothed and green-haired people, and saw that she was holding an ice spike more than half a foot long in her hand, and under the frightened gaze of the bound man, she slowly pierced into his heart, and then pushed forward little by little.
saw that the ice spike seemed to have its own consciousness, and quickly drilled into the man's body. The next moment, the man's whole body convulsed, and after a while, the man let out a terrible howl of pain, just like the scream that Wu Lu had just heard.
After the screams, the man tied to the tree suddenly stopped moving, and he didn't move.
"Failed again?" The cold wind sent the voice of extreme disappointment from the alien race.
Wu Wu Lu quietly hid behind the hillside and watched the terrifying scene in front of him, but he didn't have any intention of making a move in his heart. Because all the men tied to the tree are all men with different hair and different eyes, some are blonde and blue-eyed, some are red-haired and blue-eyed, etc., different from the black hair and black eyes of the people of the desert tribe, this is a group of men of different races.
The 300-year "Eastern Wilderness War" is the eternal pain of all the people of the Desert Tribe, and it is also the history that all children of the Desert Tribes must learn from an early age. Therefore, Wu Lu doesn't have much affection for people of different races, so naturally he can't talk about helping. What's more, the strength of this group of green-clothed and green-haired people is unknown at the moment, and it is impossible for Wulu to take risks for this.
As for the so-called justice, Wu Lu has never been interested in paying attention to it. When he suffered, where was the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and where was justice when his entire Donghuang clan was slaughtered.
Just as Wu Wu Lu was about to retreat, suddenly, the man suddenly moved again, and then suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of blood-red eyes, like two crimson gems, but also a pair of eyes without any emotion, as if they should not belong to this world.
The next moment, a huge aura of destruction burst out from the man's body, and such a life against the sky seemed to be unable to even bear the earth, only to see the surrounding snow collapse one after another, and the snowflakes also flew everywhere, like a scene of the end of the world.
An unprecedented fear appeared in Wu Wulu's heart, which was Wu Wulu's innate vigilance against danger. Wu Lu immediately turned around and ran, running desperately in one direction. At this time, there was only one thought in Wu Lu's heart: this monster created by the alien race definitely had the strength to surpass the divine generals, and it would not even lose to the strongest ability, or even the strongest ability.
Obviously, he had never seen a real god general, and the moment he saw that monster open his eyes, he just knew that the monster definitely surpassed the terrifying strength of the god general. Instinct told him that he had no chance of surviving only by fleeing from that place, and in the moment of life and death, he followed his instinct and ran away desperately. A few screams of pain came from the cold wind in the distance, which seemed to confirm the correctness of instinct.
At this moment, Wu Wu Lu was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, desperately running forward, and he didn't know the direction anymore, he just wanted to get as far away from this terrifying monster as possible. He kept running like this, and he didn't know how long or far he had run, until he was so tired that he couldn't run anymore that he stopped.
Wu Lu panted and looked up, and a faint white appeared in the distant sky, and before he knew it, he had been running for a whole night, and at the same time, the sound of the river rushing was heard in his ears. Wu Wu Lu looked behind him with palpitations,
The appearance of such a terrifying monster in the northern plains forest sea on the border of the Great Wilderness is definitely not a good thing for the desolate clan.
What worries Wu Lu even more is that such a monster is not naturally generated, but artificially created, which means that there may be more than one such monster.
Just as Wu Wu Lu was thinking, Wu Wu Lu was stunned to find that he had already run out of the snow forest, and then looked around, everything around him was like a spring in the southern region of the Great Wilderness. It is spring now, and as far as Wu Lu knows, the northern region of the Great Wilderness is still icy and snowy at this time. Wu Lu plunged his hands into the river, and there was a hint of cold feeling, not freezing and biting cold.
Isn't it going in the wrong direction? A ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Wu Lu's mind.
Wu Lu shook his head, trying to shake the thought out, even though it all seemed so abnormal. At this time, there was a look of despair reflected on the surface of the river, but Wu Lu smiled and didn't care, because at least he was alive, and only if he was alive would there be tomorrow, which was also the true meaning of life.
By the time Wu Lu left, he had become the handsome young man again, but his tattered clothes were a bit of an eyesore, although they had been washed clean.
"When you go back and find the market, make sure you buy a nice new outfit." Wu Lu looked at the tattered clothes on his body and secretly made up his mind.
The so-called "people rely on clothes, Buddha depends on gold." "I am already a genuine general, and a general must have the temperament of a general, and now I don't need to feel sorry for that little bit of money.
Soon after, he came to a mountain trail. Although the road surface is small, there are still obvious traces of man-made.
Wu Lu burst into tears, and the days of living alone for months in a deserted place were finally coming to an end.
Because, that snow forest is really cold!
