People's hearts, like the unpredictable weather, are cloudy and uncertain.

What remains unchanged is the wind and snow in the northern region, few people can endure the cold here, occasionally, the heavenly prince gives a sunny face, but also comes and goes in a hurry, unlike the howling cold wind can not be driven away, the kind of thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting days, basically from the first year to the end of the year.

There are only two kinds of people who survive in the Northern Regions: one is the miners who take risks for wealth, they will go to the mining area every day before dawn and go to the mining area under the wind and snow, and will not return to the shantytown until dark to relax their tired bodies;

The buildings towering on the ground, in addition to the magnificent Yanhuang Sect complex, may not be able to find a thatched hut that can accommodate thousands of miles in the ice and snow.

The snow is the snow that has just fallen, and the snort of stepping on it is like the whimper of ice.

On the road leading from Yanhuangzong to Longquan Lake, many new street signs were erected on the roadside, which were slogans written in Chinese characters, such as: "Soldiers, should fight for supreme honor...... Blood is an alliance, and Jin Lan is immortal...... Today, regardless of life and death, he ...... to the dragon world" is very inspiring.

Chu Yunchuan, who was walking forward in the cold wind, suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at the street sign that read "Royal Dragon World", and his expression became a little solemn.

He had been fighting for more than half a month in the No. 1 Dragon Training Base, until he was scratched by a red feather pterodactyl and injured an arm. It's easy to ride it, but it's hard to get it to be obedient and willing to be a war horse. The fierceness and power of the dragon clan are innate, even if it is a genetically cloned life, it also has the pride of an ancestor.

"It's easier said than done. ”

Chu Yunchuan muttered and shook his head, and continued to walk forward, and when he arrived at the Alien Beast Station, it was already noon.

The Alien Beast Station is located in a remote area, a bit like a pasture on a snowy field. There is a row of simple wooden houses at the entrance. There are many groups of alien beasts in the back to eat in the snow, and the outer columns are blessed with mana, and when they touch it, there will be a spiritual light on the boundary wall, and they can't fly.

This alien beast station. It is a place dedicated to providing food to the dragon training base.

The people of the Yanhuang Sect brought the strange beasts from other places. Alien beasts with too high a level of Neidan will be temporarily placed here in captivity. Because the inner dan of ordinary alien beasts and demon beasts is different. After the Celestial Dragon devours, the growth rate is also different, against the untamed dragon. Generally, they don't dare to feed demon beasts, and those that have been tamed only swallow demon beasts, not foreign beasts, but the number of tamed ones is very small.

The reception room is a bit like an inn, with food, wine and tea served, and you can also relax here.

After entering, a girl-like receptionist greeted him politely, and said with a smile: "I recognize you, you are Chu Yunchuan, do you want to have some wine to warm your body?"

"Thanks, I'd better have another plate of roast pork. ”

Chu Yunchuan took off his snow-white fox fur cloak and shook off a snowflake, and then hung it on the fork of his coat at the door. At a glance, four or five tables were all empty, so clean that there was not even the slightest grease stain, it seemed that few people were willing to come to this ghost place where birds don't, and the girl, who also loved cleanliness, cleaned up this place neatly and cleanly.

Not long after he sat down, another middle-aged man came.

This person's body is very strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce face, at first glance, he is a native of Tianshu, and he is also from Orion, and the pair of gold-wisped high boots under his feet weigh a hundred pounds, and he can step on all obstacles in the thorn-covered primeval forest, but not everyone can bear its weight, not to mention, this is the world of ice and snow, there is no need to wear such boots, and he is obviously used to wearing them.

"Are you Xiong Lie?" Chu Yunchuan asked, before coming here, I heard Wang Meihua say that the person in charge of the alien beast station was a barbarian, and looking at his appearance, it was very suitable for those three words.

"Well, excuse me, let God ...... I've kept you waiting. He wanted to be called Shinji-sama, but he quickly realized that he might lose his head and changed his words in a hurry. After sitting down on the other side, he respectfully poured a full bottle of wine for Chu Yunchuan and said, "For the matter of sending foreign beasts, just send someone to come, how can you need Brother Chu to come in person." ”

"This time it's different, I want a snow tapir. ”

"Snow tapir?"

Xiong Lie was slightly stunned.

The snow tapir is a rare beast with a body like a cow and a head a bit like an elephant's head, but it doesn't have long "tusks" and a snout that's not that long. The kind of animal that lives in the extremely cold place, the fur is as white as snow, and the natural environment is the same color, which can play a certain protective role, and the vigilance is also high, and when it encounters an invasion, it will give rise to a maze and is difficult to catch.

Xiong Lie confessed: "Brother Chu, the beasts of this strange beast station are all purchased from Baicheng and Jade City, and there are no snow tapirs in the Southern Regions at all, we really don't have this thing you want." ”

"I know. Chu Yunchuan said: "The red-feathered pterosaur I tamed is already an adult, and it is very strong, and only the Ecstasy Inner Dan that devours the snow tapir can be tamed, and I must find a way to catch it." ”

"This ......" Xiong Lie, who looked embarrassed, grabbed the back of his head and thought about it, and said helplessly: "Okay, you wait for me here, I'll find a way." ”

"Well, there is Lao. ”

After seeing Xiong Lie leave, the girl had already brought the roast meat, and served a plate of peanuts, and said politely: "Our conditions here are not very good, and the top doesn't pay much attention to them. ”

Chu Yunchuan smiled and nodded, without answering, he could see that this flowery girl seemed to be a little imaginative, otherwise, she would not sit next to her seat and look at herself with a small chin and smile, it was obviously a posture of appreciating the person she liked.

Chu Yunchuan buried his head and drank slowly without saying a word.

This wait is an afternoon, and Chu Yunchuan's face is full of impatience.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that a few disciples of the Yanhuang Sect who were struggling with wind and snow came in carrying heavy stretchers, and Chu Yunchuan got up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be taken aback. The person lying on it was actually the unconscious Xiong Lie. The next person to enter the door was Qin Sifan, who looked like he had broken his foot, and he was just short of a crutch when he walked with a limp.

Chu Yunchuan asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"Do you mean me or me?" Qin Sifan glanced at him, saw that he seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a funny smile: "I asked for it, he was given by you." I heard that you asked him to find the snow tapir, what's wrong? Really can't tame the red-feathered pterodactyl?"

"Isn't that weird?"

"Isn't it strange. You're a great god. ”

"Uh...... It's easier to catch a snow tapir than to tame a fierce pterodactyl, right?"

"Not necessarily. Qin Sifan looked at Xiong Lie, who was half-dead on the stretcher, and said with a light smile: "See, my life is almost on the outside." His strength is not weak either. He can also be regarded as a professional beast hunter. But it's not that easy to catch a snow tapir. ”

"Tell me, where did he find the snow tapir? I'll go myself. ”

Hearing this, Qin Sifan looked at Chu Yunchuan with some surprise. I think his serious look is a bit too much. Dedication is a good thing, but doesn't he really know who he's working for?

Qin Sifan asked tentatively: "Let me ask you a question, if one day, Hei Ze asks you to take the Dragon Warrior trained by you to conquer the world, what would you think?"

"Isn't dragon training just about conquering the world? Chu Yunchuan, who was not shocked, did not show the slightest abnormality, and said sincerely: "My current duty is to train the dragon, and I have no interest in other things, let's say, where is the snow tapir?"

Qin Sifan looked at Chu Yunchuan seriously, and after being silent for a moment, he picked up the fox fur cloak hanging at the door and threw it to Chu Yunchuan, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

"You foot...... Okay?"

"You can carry me when you can't walk. As he spoke, Qin Sifan deliberately glanced back at everyone present, and when he saw everyone's surprised expressions, he snickered in his heart: "You just go and tell Kurosawa, isn't he the most disgusting woman who is not reserved? ”

And Chu Yunchuan had a bewildered expression on his face.

Without waiting for Chu Yunchuan to think about how to protest, Qin Sifan said again: "The road is slippery on snowy days, so it is safer to avoid injury." She did not shy away from holding Chu Yunchuan's arm, and her affectionate actions once again shocked everyone present.

“......！！！”

Chu Yunchuan was completely speechless, unable to understand what Qin Sifan wanted to do, but in order to find the snow tapir quickly, he didn't bother to pay attention to it so much, and tossed it by her temperament.

By this time, it was completely dark outside.

Chu Yunchuan's left hand was held by Qin Sifan, and after walking for a while with a torch in his right hand, he still felt very awkward, and persuaded: "You better go back, just tell me the location, I'll go alone." ”

"What's the matter? Do you really think I'm an eyesore?" Qin Sifan turned her head to look at him, and seeing that he was not depressed and silent, she lowered her head, looked at the snow path under the torches, and asked quite seriously, "Can I ask you a serious question?"

"Say it. ”

"Am I really that annoying from your man's point of view?"

"You can be described in four words - soft and chivalrous, with your beauty and intelligence, a normal man will like you. Chu Yunchuan was completely sincere, of course, he also knew that saying this might cause misunderstanding, and he was busy asking rhetorically: "What do you think of Yu Yi?"

She ...... Of course, it's perfect......" Qin Sifan seemed to understand what he meant, and when she looked back at the road, she was already far away from the strange beast station, she gently let go of Chu Yunchuan's arm, and sighed: "Alas...... In fact, I envy her, even if she is sleeping in the Crystal Palace, there is still a man who will never abandon her. ”

"On your terms, it's not hard to find someone like that. ”

"Forget it, I don't have that life. ”

......

The two of them chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they had entered a mining area.

There is a sentry card in front of the gate to block the road, and there are blazing braziers on both sides of the gate, and two middle-aged men are rubbing their palms around the brazier. They carried feather quivers and hunting bows on their backs, but judging from their energetic and casual clothing, it was obvious that they were not hunters who came and went in the wind and rain, and the bows and arrows were more like temporary self-defense weapons.

Qin Sifan suddenly grabbed Chu Yunchuan and reminded in a low voice: "In front of you is the largest mining area in the Northern Regions-Snow Essence Mine, those two are the people of the Feng family, who are responsible for guarding the mine here. ”

Feng family, for Chu Yunchuan, this name is not unfamiliar.

A few days ago, I heard a few dragon trainers at the dragon training base talk that Kurosawa had made a plan for an expedition south, and in that plan, the first thing to be swallowed up was to choke the Neck Mouth City in the northern region. The Feng family, the largest family in Neckmouth City, has a history of more than 3,000 years, and made a fortune by mining.

Taking a step back, if there is no extraordinary strength, it is impossible for the Feng family to sit on the largest mining area in the Northern Regions.

Chu Yunchuan said disapprenously: "We are just here to catch snow tapirs, not to steal his family's snow essence, so we don't need to be sneaky." ”

"I want to be above board, but people don't give face. ”

"Why don't you give face?"

"Bandits, do the bandits know? In their eyes, as long as it is something within the scope of the mining area, whether it is dead or alive, even if it is a snowflake inside, it is also their family's seal, and others can't touch it!" Speaking of this, the look of vigilance on Qin Sifan's face has reached a critical state, and he said with palpitations: "Before, Xiong Lie chased the snow tapir here, which alarmed the people of the Feng family, and you have already seen the end, and he was directly crippled, and not asking for his life is already considered to be a face." ”

"......?" With the light of the fire, Chu Yunchuan had no intention of seeing Qin Sifan's frightened look, and said with a light smile: "The people of the dignified Yan Huang Sect are still afraid of the two gatekeepers?"

"Say...... Who said I was scared!" Qin Sifan's chest straightened, and he said confidently: "I just don't want to do much!" Besides, I'm not also thinking about you, in case you are forced to get angry in a hurry, and accidentally trigger that magic breath, then I can't restrain you. ”

“......！！！”

"I ...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention this......" Seeing that Chu Yunchuan's expression suddenly became a little solemn, Qin Sifan smiled embarrassedly: "Great God, you don't remember the villain, spare the little girl?"

"It's a fact, and you're not at fault. Chu Yunchuan turned around with a torch, saw that there was a trail on the right, and said, "Let's take a detour, the road up the mountain in front is relatively rugged, be careful of avalanches." ”

For the sake of safety, Chu Yunchuan asked her to go ahead.

said that it was a trail, but after taking a few steps, Chu Yunchuan found that this road was not walked by people, and in front, the rows of five-toed footprints were all traces of beasts. However, the steep break that beasts can climb up, people, may not be able to climb up, especially Qin Sifan's sick foot.

In front of the road, there is a three-foot-high fault, and the upper left corner is the way out.

Qin Sifan stopped and looked at it for a while, and found that there was a convex stone on the right side, and he wanted to step on it and jump into the flat ground in the upper left corner with his strength, but suddenly there was a loud bang, and the pseudo "convex stone" formed by the ice and snow condensation city was overwhelmed by gravity, and suddenly shattered and collapsed, causing the snow to roll down.

"Ah!!h

With a scream, her whole body slid down, and she caught Chu Yunchuan behind her off guard, and the two of them rolled out of the snow for several feet.

At about the same time, two torches were raised not far away, and someone shouted, "No, someone wants to steal the mineral!" (to be continued......
