After a false alarm, this year's Wuyue National Clan Championship finally came to an end. All the warriors of the martial arts family and the Jing clan who participated in the forced palace were arrested, and the fake Tudan suddenly disappeared after the incident, and there was no trace of him anywhere. For this reason, after the royal family turned the central martial arts dojo of the national capital into ruins, it was still a forbidden place for a long time. Every day, Chen Tao personally led people to search, but he didn't expect that Zhentudan had already turned into a pile of gray sand in the ruins.

As for the Phantom Ice King and Jiao Na, when the forbidden army withdrew from Haiyuan Pavilion, they had already expected the failure of this operation. The two of them didn't even go to the martial arts arena to take a look, then they withdrew the ice and snow barrier and quietly left the Wuyue Country. Of course, for the departure of these two people, the white-robed Venerable Feng Zhong, Shi Chan, Qi Lao and others did not interfere much. No one would want to be an enemy of such a team unless they had to. Yang Rui, Zhou Qiao, Li Man, Du Sanniang, Ren Xue and Shichan chatted freely at the state banquet the next day. And King Lu and Princess Lingyi are also the top ten in the competition and many meritorious people.

Let's say that the princess of the undead race, Concubine Ji, only three days after leaving the Yang Family Annex, the capital of Wuyue Kingdom, has passed through the vast Beihai Ice Sheet and arrived at Rizhao City, the only city located on the periphery of the Xuan Ice Domain!

True to her name, Sunshine City is a place where the sun can shine all day long. There is no night, but there is endless snow and cold wind. Legend has it that Rizhao was once ruled by the Bai people, one of the eight great clans of ancient times, who had demigod blood. However, with the passage of time, the Bai tribe went into decline, like the other eight major tribes. Cities have been abandoned and destroyed in time. Gradually occupied by merchants, hunters, and mercenaries, it became a haven for a temporary escape from the cold in the snowy fields.

Due to the harsh conditions, if it weren't for the unique minerals and elixirs produced here from the surrounding Snow Valley, as well as the bone marrow and spirit crystals of ancient exotic beasts excavated from the permafrost glacier, perhaps no one would have come to this ghost place to suffer at all. Therefore, when Concubine Ji walked through the wide and dilapidated streets of Rizhao City, she could only see a few people, wearing thick animal skin jackets, big velvet hats and scarves, dragging sleds full of goods, and struggling to move forward in the heavy wind and snow.

Fei Ji is dressed in light clothes and thin armor. Draped in a dark green satin cloak. Effortlessly through the streets, into an inn-like place. The Silver Tree Inn, this is the meeting place mentioned by Yu Jiu and the Great Elder in the message to her. If they had already been there a year ago, they would have left a message here.

Boom!

The concubine pushed the wooden door of the inn open. Walked in with the whirring wind and snow. "Oh, shut them up, are you going to freeze people to death?" a large man in a cowhide apron sat by the fire. He shouted with an iron tong. Hearing this, Yu Ji closed the door casually. He asked lightly, "Is the store there?" I need a room. ”

In addition to the big man, there was also a thin man in miner's attire, and a white-bearded old man smoking a long pole of dry smoke. The three of them were first amazed by the woman's appearance, and then surprised by her light attire. This traveler is what they have seen in Rizhao. The person with the thinnest luggage to wear the least. Although her graceful elegance has a proud momentum, from the outside, her cultivation is only comparable to that of ordinary people. It's hard to imagine how she can walk through that icy and cold day with her appearance?

"Maybe it's Miss Gui who has been separated from the caravan. The white-bearded old man thought, knocked on the cigarette stick and said to the concubine, "Let's go to the kang and sit down first." I'm the only one in Rizhao City, so if you get separated from your team, you can wait for them here. ”

"Thank you. She went to the fire and sat down, and said softly, "But I'm alone, stay one night and leave." ”

"Alone!?" the three looked at the silver-haired woman in front of them in amazement. Especially the white-bearded old man who was the owner of the inn, who was hiding from the world here, and his strength was unfathomable, but he couldn't see this woman's cultivation clearly. The old man secretly said in his heart: "If she wasn't joking, could there really be someone in this world who could reach that level?" Yes. Otherwise, how could she not be hurt at all in this eternal winter?" and smiled at the concubine, "Girl, don't be surprised. We haven't had anyone here for a long time, and we don't know what the outside world is like now. Now there are fewer people and more rooms here, and the girl can choose one to live in at will. You don't have to pay for a room for one night, even if you make friends. ”

Yu Ji shook her head and said, "The money for staying in the hotel is to be given." He didn't ask about the price, he casually threw over a bag of gold leaves and said, "In addition, I want to inquire about individuals." The old man took the money bag and said, "So I will take it." But I don't know who the girl wants to inquire?" "I wonder if you have ever seen a silver-haired old man with black skin?"

"Well......" the old man pondered, re-lit the cigarette stick in the fire, and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke and said, "There was indeed such a guest here half a month ago. Yes, there are very few outsiders in this Sunshine City, so I can remember. If he's the one you're looking for, sit down a little longer. Because what we're talking about here is exactly that. ”

When Yu Ji heard this, her heart was happy and worried. I am glad that there is finally news of Uncle Yu Jiu and the Great Elder, and I am worried that listening to the old man is not a good thing. At this time, the old man took another long puff of cigarette, pointed to the two people next to him and said with a smile: "Introduce yourself before continuing." I'm the owner of this Silvertree Inn, so I don't want to mention the name or anything. Well, you can call me the Silver Old Man like everyone else. This big man is the blacksmith Zhang of Rizhao City, and he likes to come to me for a drink. The other is Luki, a miner who has been walking the permafrost glaciers and snow valleys for many years, and some of the things he is telling us may be related to the person you are looking for. Fei Ji nodded politely to the three of them and said, "My name is Yu Ji, thank you for your hospitality." ”

After introducing each other, the blacksmith said more, and said with a bold smile: "Hey! You don't see a beauty like this every day! You see, even the old man who drilled in the pile of silver every day didn't even charge for the house? Girl, let me tell you a secret, the silver of the old man is not the silver of the silver tree, but the silver of the silver." The old man smiled and said, "What do you know about a stinky blacksmith? It's not because of her appearance that you don't charge for the house! This girl is not simple, and I don't know when we will have to rely on her!" He was a little embarrassed and said, "Let the two of you laugh, but I don't know what everyone is talking about?" Speaking of what they were talking about, the smiles of the old man silver and the blacksmith disappeared again. The old man took a puff of cigarette stick, sighed and said, "Lu Qi, it's up to you!"

The miner, Luci, had been silent since she entered the door, and seemed to be not very good at words, rubbing his calloused hands by the fire. In the light of the fire, the rough wrinkles on the miners' faces resemble the lines of rock. A person with such a strong personality seems to be worrying about something right now. After a long while, he said, "Anyone who has been in the Xuan Ice Domain for a long time will know that there are two different races living on this ice field. One is the Iceman clan who occupy the Snow Valley. One is the Negrons who burrow in permafrost glaciers. The Iceman people have always had a relationship with humans from the outside world. It also allows us to collect medicinal herbs and minerals around the Snow Valley. The Negrons lived almost exclusively in the caverns, never in any way with the outside world. Those who have seen them know only that their hair and eyes are silvery-white, their skin is dark, and they can move freely in the dark. There was a pause. Looking at the silver hair of the concubine, he continued, "The old man you are looking for sounds like one of them. Perhaps he has gone to the Permafrost to find his people. The blacksmith said, "Well, I know a little about the Negrons! A miner came to me to identify a strange tool, said to have been picked up in the mines of a permafrost glacier. I've seen that the material and craftsmanship of the tool are not comparable to that of any human craftsman! I think it must be the work of the Dark Terrans, probably used to excavate permafrost ice. It's damaged, but it's still much better than the shovel we have!"

Speaking of the dark human race, the old man has naturally heard of it for many years, and like the miner, he looked thoughtfully at the silver hair of the concubine. After inheriting the power accumulated in the Holy Land, her skin has become as white as jade, and her hair and eyes are mixed with a little gold, so it is difficult for people to associate with the undead from the outside. Seeing that Yu Ji bowed his head and was silent, the miner looked back at the fire and continued: "The business in Rizhao City will soon be unsustainable. It's just that the entrances to the permafrost glacier seem to have been suddenly sealed by a powerful barrier a year ago. The Iceman Clan has recently sealed off the area around Snow Valley, and no longer allows outsiders to enter to collect medicine and hunt. The miners and hunters are almost gone, and I will probably have to leave in two days!" "Do you know why the entrance to the permafrost was sealed, and who did it?" The miner smiled bitterly, "I only know about mining, and I don't care much about this." However, I also heard some speculation among my companions. It was said that the Negrons had gone too deep into the permafrost glacier and dug into places that they shouldn't have dug up, angering the gods. Otherwise, how could it make the mighty Iceman so afraid?"

When the old man heard this, he suddenly said, "Hey! I remembered! Girl, the person you are looking for seems to have gone to the Snow Valley! I think the person who knows the situation there best at this time must be the Ice Clan." Oh, yes. The silver-haired guest seems to have left something behind before leaving!" he got up and walked to the counter by the door, flipped through it, muttered that he had found a wax letter in a pile of letterheads, and exclaimed, "Found it! This is it!" and turned around and walked back, handing the letter to the concubine.

"Thank you. Concubine Ji took the letter as she spoke, and when she saw that the seal was the emblem of the undead, she hurriedly opened the seal, but saw a few lines written on the letter, "Princess." Go to the Snow Valley to find the Ice Tribe, and if you can't see us, don't go into the permafrost glacier by yourself. Go back to the patriarch and figure it out together. Remember!Remember!" The concubine looked up at the three of them and said, "The Ice Clan probably knows how to enter the Permafrost Glacier, do you know the way to Snow Valley?" The blacksmith said, "This one naturally needs to ask Lu Qi, he is most familiar with the path there." The miner shook his head and said, "I have only walked in the mountains around the snow valley, and no one knows the way into the snow valley." But I advise you not to go. Ever since the Iceman cordoned off the area, there have been people who have been lost there, and it would be like losing their lives in such heavy snowfall......"

The blacksmith said, "Lu Qi, don't be stingy! When I met you, you were hanging around in the mountains! Besides, if the Ice Clan has a way to solve the problem, we can continue to stay in Rizhao City!" Fei Ji looked eagerly at the hesitant miner and said, "Just take me to the neighborhood, and I will give you a satisfactory reward!" He put a bag of gold leaves in front of Lu Qi, but Lu Qi just stared at the fire as if he was not interested in gold leaves.

The old man was not in a hurry when he watched a few people from the side, knocked the cigarette stick on the stone, replaced it with a tobacco leaf and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to give you any remuneration or anything." Why hasn't Lu Qi left Rizhao yet?" the blacksmith patted his head when he heard this, and said, "Ha! Yes! Everyone here knows that the mining days are as important to Lu Qi as life! If he wasn't sure that he couldn't enter the permafrost glacier again, he wouldn't have left!"

After reading the letter left by Yu Jiu, Yu Ji was already very sure that the so-called dark human race was the descendant of the undead human race who escaped from the palace of Yu Jiu ten thousand years ago, and she wanted to break into the permafrost glacier immediately to find out. He said to the miners sincerely, "I can't tell you the truth, the dark people are my people, and now they may be in danger, and I need to get to them as soon as possible." Please be sure to help me. If that solves the problem, we'll open all the caves under the permafrost to mine with humans!"

The old man and the blacksmith looked at Fei Ji in surprise when they heard this, but they didn't expect that she was the same as the mysterious dark people in the cave. But the miner seemed to have made a decision at this time, and raised his head from the fire and said to the concubine, "Okay! As long as I can enter the permafrost glacier again, I will go with you!" After all, I don't know what the situation is like in the snow valley and under the glacier, and listen to the next decomposition. (To be continued......)
