Chapter 248: Permafrost Glacier
Just after midnight, although the sky is gray, people can still walk in Rizhao City without lights. In fact, in a quarter of an hour, the sun, which had just sunset below the horizon, would rise again. Looking at the vast snowfield, the dead moss and the remnants of the wood, and the afterglow of the silver sea are faint. The twilight has not yet fallen, and a ray of light dyes the rainbow.
Thinking about the safety of the clansmen, Yu Ji stayed awake all night, sat cross-legged on the bed, and had already investigated the situation within thousands of miles around Rizhao City. However, although this Xuan Ice Domain is inaccessible, it is actually not much smaller than the Eastern Continent. If you want to find a way to get to Snow Valley in such a strange and desolate place in a short time, it seems that there is no other way than to rely on absenteeism. Boredom, Yu Ji gently rubbed the eye-shaped pendant on her chest, carefully thought about the meaning of the nine notes, and said secretly in her heart: "Look at the meaning of Uncle Yu Jiu...... He and the Great Elder seemed to know the reasons why some of the clansmen were trapped before they went to Snow Valley. I wonder if the Ice Clan's recent blockade of the Snow Valley has anything to do with their actions? And why did Uncle Nine deliberately ask me to go back to Yang Rui? Well, with my current strength, where can I go in this Yuancang Realm? Yang Rui now has his own things to do, so I'd better find my way under the Permafrost Glacier first and take a look before making plans. ”
Knock knock!
When it was getting dark, Miner Luqi returned to the Silvertree Hotel as promised. With a full sleigh of equipment and food, he knocked on the door of the inn. As soon as she heard the movement, she immediately got up and soon appeared in the living room downstairs. I happened to see the silver old man sitting in front of the kang smoking a long cigarette, hurriedly said good morning and walked to the door.
I saw it in the snow. Dressed in a thick winter bear coat, with a windshield and a velvet hat, Lu Qi didn't seem to want to come in, and shouted to the house: "Go early! You have to walk for half a month from here to the Snow Valley!" The old man smiled and said, "Ha! Lu Qi, you are still like that! Every time you set off to mine the permafrost glacier, it is like rushing to the market!" Glancing at the lightly dressed girl, she said to Lu Qi again: "But you seem to have brought more things this time." Lu Qi said: "Not much! Not much! I have prepared food and equipment for two people here, even if I encounter a snowstorm on the road, I am not afraid!"
In the living room, Yu Ji looked out the door at Lu Qi, who seemed to be a different person compared to yesterday, and said, "I said yesterday that you only need to prepare your own things for your return." Lu Qi said seriously: "Girl, you just came to the Xuanbing Domain, and I don't know the situation here. In addition to ice and snow or ice and snow, there are not even one more beasts here, if you don't bring all the equipment and food. But no one dares to leave this Rizhao City!" the old man smiled beside him: "Lu Qi." I forgot to remind you yesterday. Follow her, you really don't have to prepare these things. He turned his head and said to Yu Ji: "But this Lu Qi is such a safe character." In order to prepare for this, I guess he didn't sleep much last night!" Yu Ji sighed lightly, took out a ring from his bosom, handed it to the miner, and said, "You can put everything here." This way we can be lighter. ”
Luki took the ring and looked around. But I don't know what I mean. And the silver old man was obviously well-informed. He was already surprised and exclaimed, "Hey! It's a ring with the power of space! This is a treasure left over from ancient times." Lu Qi, you are blessed!" But Lu Qi listened to the old man's words, and the second monk was even more confused. A dazed look. Seeing that Yu Ji was in a hurry, she snatched the ring and put all the things in the sleigh. He shoved the ring back into Luqi's hand and said, "Let's go! I'll explain it to you on the way!" and without waiting for Luqi to reply, he jumped into the air by the collar of his coat.
The old man walked to the door and smoked a long cigarette, slowly exhaled a wisp of white smoke, squinted at the concubine in the air and said to himself: "Ahem! This woman is really not small, I am not wrong about the old man." Maybe this time I can really stay in Rizhao. ”
Luki was really startled in mid-air, this was the first time he had ever grown so big to fly in the sky!? Although he had heard some stories about human flight when he had gossiped with the silver old man and the blacksmith in the past, he had indeed thought it was a joke until today! However, now he was indeed in the air. This discovery made him seem a little at a loss, and suddenly heard Yu Ji seem to urge above him: "Don't be afraid! I can't fall with me! Show me the way!" Lu Qi calmed down when he heard this, and looked down at the Rizhao City that was still at his feet. He looked around, stretched out his finger and pointed to the northeast. Seeing this, the concubine didn't say a word, and carried Lu Qi and swept that way.
The wind is howling, and the snow and ice are flying. In this vast white world, looking at the rapidly receding scenes, Lu Qi only felt numb in his hands and feet, and dizzy in his head. But after all, he is a tough and focused miner. After gradually getting used to flying, Lu Qi also began to calm down, carefully identifying the path, and asking Yu Ji to change direction at the right time. And since Lu Qi's physique only belongs to ordinary people, Fei Ji's side can naturally only slow down the speed of flight as much as possible, and from time to time she needs to fall to the leeward place to let her recover. The two of them flew in the snow for two days, and finally saw the outlines of some white peaks in the distance.
Entering the Snow Ridge Mountains, Concubine Ji and Lu Qi landed on a former river beach. Lu Qi pointed to the upper reaches of the frozen river valley and said, "From here, walking along the river is where we usually collect medicine and mine. There's a rest place up there, which used to be used as an intermediary for trading with the Ice Clan, but it doesn't seem to be found anymore. Snow Valley is nearby, but no one has actually seen it. After taking a breath, he continued: "To the west of the river, about another four or five days, is one of the entrances to the permafrost glacier. But I've been here countless times in the past year, but I've always been in a sealed state. ”
Fei Ji stood in place and sensed slightly, the terrain here was really as Lu Qi said, and it seemed that it was not far from Snow Valley. Then he handed the bag of gold leaves to Lu Qi and said, "Thank you for leading the way for me, I will find it myself from here." This is your reward!" But Lu Qi pushed the golden leaf back, holding the ring and smiling, "I have already received the reward, and the most important thing is to be able to return to the permafrost glacier." Good luck!" Yu Ji was not reluctant, nodded and said, "You can go back to Rizhao City and wait for my news!" Lu Qi stared blankly at the piece of snow where Concubine Ji was standing, and he didn't even leave footprints!?
Leaving Luki, Concubinee did not look for the location of the Snow Valley, but flew directly to the entrance of the permafrost glacier. It took less than a quarter of an hour for ordinary people to travel four or five days, but she saw that the glacier was rising violently, stretching into the distance like a long causeway. The edge of the glacier is bordered by the Snow Peak Mountains, and beneath the glacier is a deep gully that stretches as far as the eye can see. Clouds float on the glacier cliff face, and broken ice falls from time to time. From the outside, it's hard to imagine that this place would be inhabited by humans. However, in the tunnel under the ice, it was an ideal habitat for the undead after escaping from the city of the concubine ten thousand years ago.
The entrance to the glacier is an ice cave that extends downwards and sits relatively close to the edge of the mountain range. The entrance to the cave is littered with discarded tools and objects, and it is clear that miners often enter and exit the area before it is sealed. Less than a hundred steps from the entrance of the cave, a huge ancient rune could be seen blocking the way in front of the corridor, glowing with a warm light. Fei Ji tentatively pressed her hand on it, feeling that there was no reaction other than resistance. Yu Ji thought in her heart: "It seems that the entrance to the cave is blocked by the ancient rune array, and I have never even seen this kind of writing, I don't know which rune it belongs to." Uncle Yu Jiu asked me to find Yang Rui, probably because of this talisman array. It is true that Yang Rui's attainments in the talisman array are not low, and he has the help of karma. However, with my current strength, even if I am not a rune master, I can already see the connection between the runes. I'll try to break this formation. Then he secretly strengthened his hand.
Long ——! only felt that the earth shook and the glacier was about to crack, but the connection between the runes was not broken. Seeing this, Yu Ji gritted her teeth and injected more yuan power into her hands. With a bang, the rune only expanded and returned to its original state, but seeing that the force rippled to the periphery, it was so close that the glacier that had been frozen for hundreds of millions of years was forcibly peeled off!
Suddenly, the thousands of miles of glaciers roared and the frost was misty. Looking from afar, it is as if an eternally standing giant wave has finally fallen! The majestic seismic wave stretches for hundreds of miles, a scene of doom!
The space on the deep ditch suddenly seemed to be distorted! It turned out that Fei Ji rushed out of the ice waves, stopped in mid-air and turned around to look. But after the outer layer of the glacier was peeled off, an even distributed array of ancient talismans appeared underneath. The rune that stood in front of the corridor turned out to be just a connection point of this giant rune array!
Looking at such a scene, Yu Ji couldn't help but be a little afraid, and secretly said in her heart: "Miscalculation! Miscalculation! I'm too anxious! I don't know if the glacier can withstand such a shock? If the earthquake collapses and hurts the clansmen, how can it be good! I can't be so strong on the rune array, so I can only go to the Snow Valley to find the Ice Clan to find a way." At this moment, Yu Ji suddenly felt that there were three not weak breaths in the direction of the river valley rapidly approaching this side, and thought: "It seems that the shaking here has alarmed the snow valley, and it must be that the Ice Clan sent someone to investigate." But it came just in time!, saving me time to look for it!" Then he stepped lightly in the air, turned and hurried in the direction of the valley.
Among the three people over there, it was none other than Luo Feng, the old man of the Ice Clan that Yang Rui had met in Beihai City. Luo Feng hurriedly led people to the Permafrost Glacier, just to investigate the source of the violent tremors, but just after passing the edge of the river valley, he suddenly saw a figure flash in front of him. Luo Feng and the others were all taken aback, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be a woman!
That woman is naturally a concubine. Seeing the three of them stop in the air, Fei Ji stepped forward and saluted, "I don't know how many of them are from the Ice Clan? I am a member of the undead Clan, named Fei Ji." I want to ask you for help!" After all, I don't know how the Ice Clan has anything to do with this matter, and I'll listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
