"Whew-"

Shen Qi exhaled softly, looked up at the Bird Peak that still couldn't be seen, and couldn't help but look a little depressed.

It's been two hours since the last snow wolf attack, and it's getting dark.

The look of the five peers is not very good-looking, after all, it has been so long, and the group still has no gain.

"I don't know where the herbs are......" Xiaojing muttered in a low voice.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he lost his usual frivolous appearance.

Now everyone is a little worried about the problem of overnight stays. After all, the group of six people had been walking for five or six hours, and they didn't see the "rest house" that Shen Qi said.

It was getting dark, and it wasn't long before it was going to be completely dark.

I can't find the herb today, so I can continue to look for it tomorrow. But if there's no place to spend the night, it's not bad.

Staying overnight in the mountains is not a wise decision, especially outdoors.

The previous attack of the snow wolf is a lesson from the past.

This shows that on this towering snow-capped mountain, there are not only Shen Qiyi and six people, but also some "aborigines".

Wild beasts tend to come out by day.

Xiao Jing held back for a long time, and finally asked, "Brother Shen, are you sure there is a rest house for your Yingxue Mountain Villa nearby?"

When Xiao Jing asked this sentence, several other people also looked at Shen Qi, obviously they were all concerned about this issue.

Shen Qi looked at everyone, then nodded and said, "I'...... I'm sure there's a ...... on the hill Rest house, just not sure in ...... Where is it. ”

Xiao Jing nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

Luo III frowned and said, "It's getting dark. If you can't find a place to spend the night, I'm afraid something bad will happen......"

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Snow ...... Snow wolf?"

"yes. Luo III sighed and said, "You must know that most of the beasts come out by day and night. Besides, wolves are social animals!"

Shen Qi nodded, and he was quite puzzled in his heart.

Yingxue Mountain Villa has a task of collecting herbs every month, and the best place to collect them is in the mountains of the Northern Regions.

But the strange thing is that Shen Qi and his party have been walking for almost a whole day, except for the two-color and snow lotus that was eaten by Shen Qi, they haven't even seen the shadow of the herb at all.

Could it be that the people at the Hills have lied to me?

No way!

Shen Qi shook his head, he didn't believe that there would be someone in Yingxue Mountain Villa who would deceive him at the risk of being killed.

Flipping through the "Herb Record" casually, Shen Qi felt even more dazed.

It stands to reason that as long as there is an area where the growth of medicinal herbs is relatively dense, there are rest houses built by the villa. But now, neither the herbs nor the rest house have been seen.

Could it be that I have gone wrong? This is not the mountains of the Northern Regions?

That's even more unlikely!

Not to mention that he had seen a rest house at the foot of the mountain, just such a towering snow-capped mountain could only be the mountains of the Northern Regions!

Just as Shen Qi was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Luo III beside him exclaim.

"What's that?"

Several people looked in the direction of Luo San's finger.

In the distance, the snow is falling, and a dark area can be faintly seen, which is clearly different from the gray and white of the surroundings. But it's too far away to see what it is.

"Let's go, go over and see. Xiaojing greeted and walked forward first.

Several people followed.

As they got closer, everyone finally saw the true face of the looks.

"This ......"

Everyone felt dizzy and dizzy.

"There is such a big ice lake on top of the snowy mountain?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but exclaim.

Yes, it was a vast glacial lake that was half ice and half water! From a distance, it looked like a crystal clear jade plate, embedded in the endless stretch of snow.

"This ...... How is this possible?" Luo III was surprised: "It must be at least 3,000 meters or more here, right? And it is surrounded by high mountains, how can there be a lake? Although it is a snow-capped mountain, the temperature here is terrifyingly low! It is impossible for the snow to melt and form! This ...... It's a miracle!"

"Incredible!" Xu Ji said.

"Amitabha. He Ye whispered a Buddha name.

"Could it be ......" Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "This was originally the ocean?"

"Sea ...... Ocean?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.

Shen Qi had naturally never seen the sea, but he heard from the disciples of the mountain villa who had returned from his travels that the sea was in the far eastern polar regions. This is the vast white deer, and you can't see the sea at all.

"Time has passed, and the vicissitudes of the sea have changed. Xiaojing's voice was quite low, "The years are ruthlessly changing, the ocean recedes, and the mountains are revealed." When the sea recedes, it leaves a lake ......."

"This ...... It's a bit of a, right?" Luo III couldn't help but say, "Could it be that this place is also ...... Like my hometown, there have been continental plate drift collisions?"

"It's possible!" Xu Ji said: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas once mentioned that there is the West Sea in the north of Kunlun. ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is just a mythical story, and it can't be counted!" Luo San said.

"But it also gives us a possibility. Xiao Jing said in a low voice: "Just like everything in front of you, if it is like a dream, people can't tell the truth from the fake." ”

Luo III and Xu Ji were silent.

Shen Qi listened to it in the clouds, but he was used to the strange content of the five peers, so he didn't care. He simply turned his gaze to the icy lake not far away.

"What a beautiful ......"

"yes, it's beautiful!"

Everyone exclaimed in admiration, and even Jing Ji looked like he was obsessed with the beautiful scenery in front of him.

At this moment, Shen Qi's heart suddenly became alarmed.

Before Shen Qi could react, a strong wind suddenly struck.

Shen Qi's left foot quickly retreated half a step, and his body was naturally on one side.

"Whew-poof-"

A sharp arrow grazed Shen Qi's chest, and then plunged deep into the snow not far behind him, leaving only the tail of the arrow exposed.

"Who?"

Wujue reacted instantly, and hurriedly looked around.

However, looking around, everyone saw nothing suspicious.

"There's a small house across the ice lake!" exclaimed Luo III.

Shen Qi heard the words and looked towards the opposite side of the ice lake, and sure enough, there was a relatively obvious bulge, which did look like a small house.

If nothing else, it should be a rest house built here by Yingxue Mountain Villa.

It seems that the problem of overnight accommodation has been solved! Shen Qi said darkly.

It's just that the enemy who secretly releases cold arrows should be paid attention to.

Shen Qi looked around vigilantly, but found no trace of the enemy.

So Shen Qi looked around and slowly retreated to the location of the arrow.

After waiting for a while, there were no more attacks.

Shen Qi shifted his attention to the arrows in the snow.

Judging by the angle at which the arrow hit the ground, it is highly likely that the arrow was fired from the rest house.

However, this icy lake is not small! From the position where Shen Qi and the others are standing to the hut on the other side of the lake, I am afraid that there will be a distance of dozens of zhang.

What kind of bow can shoot an arrow dozens of kilometers away and still maintain accuracy?

Shen Qi stretched out his hand and pulled the arrow out of the ground suddenly.

When Shen Qi saw the hexagonal snowflake pattern on the arrow, the whole person was stunned on the spot.

"Brother Shen, what did you find?" Xiao Jing came to Shen Qi's side and asked in a low voice.

Shen Qi smiled bitterly and handed over the arrow.

Xiao Jing took the arrow, his face changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "So long?"

Although Xiao Jing had never practiced bows and arrows, he also knew that an arrow was usually only seventy or eighty centimeters long, and it was rare for an arrow to exceed one meter in length.

But the arrow in front of him is obviously more than one meter two!

Who would use such a long arrow, and how big would the bow be?

Several other people also gathered around, and Xiao Jing showed the arrows to everyone.

"Huh?" Luo III obviously noticed the hexagonal snowflake pattern on the sword head, "What is this pattern?"

"Brother Shen, do you know?" Xiao Jing asked in a low voice.

"Know...... Know!" Shen Qi nodded.

"Huh?"

Originally, Xiao Jing just asked casually, not expecting Shen Qi to know this pattern, but he didn't expect Shen Qi to say that he knew.

"Yes...... Be...... It is the pattern of Yingxue Mountain Villa......"
