In the end, the tornado disappeared. But the snow it had accumulated did not disappear, not only did it gather into a pile, but it was also carved into the shape of a wind knife, with a head and limbs......

When it took shape, He Xiaoyuan couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of monster is this!"

The creature is about two feet (more than six meters) long, with four feet on the ground, but its mouth is wide and flat, wider than the snout of a crocodile.

The length of this mouth alone takes up half of the length of the body, but the back half of the monster is very short, which can be called a crocodile head and snake tail, and the proportions between the front and back are very incongruous.

It had barely taken shape when the mountain wind shook it away, but a blue light flew out of a large cart at the front and landed on its neck to become a collar.

The collar turned slowly, and the runes on it glowed with a deep blue light.

At the same time, the monster wagged its head and tail and yawned, as if it had just woken up from its slumber.

Immediately afterward, it moved its limbs and walked along the mountain path.

This thing's chassis is very low, its belly is almost close to the road, and when it advances, it opens its big mouth like a square shovel, so that the snow in front of it is shoveled into its mouth!

The cat on the canopy moved its ears: "Interesting, this is a man-made snow-swallowing beast." The collar around its neck is called the Destiny Ring, which is equivalent to the heart core of a puppet. ”

The snow-swallowing beast walked at the front of the line like a road roller, and everywhere it walked, the ground was almost completely devoid of snow! It grew in size, and it was obvious that the snow it swallowed became a part of its body.

This thing is lifeless in the first place, just a monster formed by the temporary aggregation of snow, and the size is all determined by the fate ring.

Soon, it reached its limit, transforming into a behemoth with a head and tail of four feet (thirteen meters) long, and it was more efficient at pushing snow.

At this point, it twists its neck and spits out all the snow it has piled up on both sides of the road.

The reason why it no longer grows is because the mountain road is winding and has become too wide and useless.

Now, the convoy can follow it on, much faster.

He Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, and the relaxed smile on her face had disappeared. For the troubles along the way, King Wei still has a way to deal with it.

When Yan Saburo saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking. Anyway, there wasn't much to see outside, so he simply got back into the car: "Don't be frustrated. If the Snow Swallowing Beast's magical power can be easily obtained, why hasn't the caster done it until now?"

Before dawn, the townspeople were called up to remove the snow. The convoy struggled on the mountain road for so long, until a carriage fell to its death, and the stranger in front of it made a move.

"You're right. He Xiaoyuan's eyes flashed slightly, "To maintain such a spell, it must consume a lot." ”

"So, the snow helped us a lot. "Wei Wang evacuated suddenly, it would be good to be able to work out a reasonable route, and there was no time to make all preparations. This is very different from the usual travel of the Son of Heaven, and there must be many troubles along the way.

As he spoke, the white cat jumped out of the window and got under a warm blanket. There's nothing to see outside, so she'd better sleep with her head covered.

At this time, it is necessary to recharge your batteries.

......

The cat returned too early, so he didn't see a peregrine falcon flying to the southwest, and it circled in the sky and fell into the convoy.

It landed on the shoulder of a man, who removed a small bamboo tube from its paws, and then approached the ninth carriage, knocked lightly on the carriage, and said in a deep voice: "Report! ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, someone connected the bamboo pipe in.

The carriage was unremarkable in appearance, with beech carriages and gray squirrel skin curtains, but it was only one size larger. But when you really walk in, you will immediately find that there is a hole inside.

The interior walls of the carriage are covered with soft leather, and the footrests are covered with a thick snow-white blanket. There is not much space inside, but the seating and bedding are all available, and everything is placed in the most appropriate place to ensure that the owner can reach it as soon as he reaches out.

In such a cold winter, there is also a green jade fruit plate on the red sandalwood case, which is filled with large grapes and strawberries, purple and red, so fresh that it can drip water.

The goldfinch stove in the corner quietly spits ambergris, and the room is as warm as spring.

King Wei was lying on the couch, his eyes half-closed and half-closed, and he yawned lazily: "What's new?"

The gray-clothed man who got the bamboo pipe was none other than Ke Yanhua, the head of Yulinwei's guard. Even if King Wei is on the way to the west, he can still spread out an intelligence network and learn about the movement in the rear.

These days, information keeps coming.

"It's information from the Seventh Ranger after the break. Ke Yanhua took out two notes from the bamboo pipe, and frowned, "In our team, there are really spies!"

In addition to the main convoy where Wei Wang was located, there was also a reconnaissance team in front to investigate the road conditions, and there were rangers in the rear to intercept the pursuers.

"What do you say?" Hearing the word "spy", King Wei opened his eyes suddenly.

"The rangers found that this thing had been left in a pine forest we had passed through. Ke Yanhua unfolded another note. This is actually a rubbing, and the rubbing is a palm.

The human hand is very small and delicate. King Wei understood it at a glance, and his face became gloomy, but he still asked, "What is this?"

"There is a big tree with this blood-red palm print left on the trunk, three points into the wood, and the five fingers are together towards the northwest, which is the direction we are heading!" Ke Yanhua said in a deep voice, "This pigment is very special. ”

He asked for permission from King Wei, stretched the paper out of the window to dry for a while, and then put away the six night pearls that illuminated the carriage.

The light source disappeared, and the carriage darkened, but the rubbing on the paper lit up, and the red and bright ones were very eye-catching.

King Wei scolded hatefully: "Damn spy!"

Ke Yanhua then said: "This is a kind of algae in the sea, which can float to the surface of the water at night to glow. Crush it and mix it into paint, even the Night Walker won't miss it. ”

"What's even more subtle is that the cavalry passed through the woodland twice and didn't notice it. However, he left behind a water bladder, fearing that he would be discovered by his pursuers, and when he went back to look for it, he saw that this palm print was impressive, and it was only a few feet away from the place where he had last rested. ”

King Wei said blankly, "What do you mean?"

That is to say, it will take at least four or five hours for the man's hands and feet to appear in the tree. At that time, both the convoy and the broken rangers had already gone far away, and they could not find the palm prints that pointed the way. Ke Yanhua admired the initiator in his heart, "But for the pursuers behind, it is clearly visible." ”

"This spy is really not simple. ”

King Wei looked at the palm print, his eyes were shining: "This handprint is very small, is it a woman?"
