Chapter 108: Snow Field (1)
The two said goodbye to Hua Hin, and walked towards the outside of the mansion without looking back, Hua Hin watched the backs of Hua Lie and Zhou Changqing gradually leave the mansion with worried eyes. No one noticed that Old Man Hua, who was originally crying and laughing, was quiet, and he watched Hua Lie's figure walk out of the door in a daze, and suddenly shivered.
Snow falls all year round, but there are also months of the year when the snow decreases a lot, and now is the time of year when the snow is at its lowest. Zhou Changqing and the two were walking on the snow, both of them changed into snow-white clothes, and walking in the snow was like blending with the snowfield, if they didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to find the two of them at all. The two of them didn't pay attention to the snowflakes that fell in the sky from time to time, they just hurried away, and occasionally when the wind was strong, they would lie down to avoid the biting cold wind that was blowing in their faces, leaving two rows of deep footprints behind them, but they were soon covered by heavy snow.
Along the way, Zhou Changqing didn't plan to fly in the sky, and even Jin Ling was left in Jiuyuan City by him, he just followed the young man who was silent along the way. He found that this young man was really familiar with the snow field, and he avoided many powerful monsters along the way, and there was not even a single battle, although most of these monsters were fourth-order to sixth-order existences, and they were not taken seriously by Zhou Changqing.
Hua Lie occasionally left something on the road, it was an unknown metal, the size was only the size of a fist, but it was very heavy, occasionally stopping to observe the surrounding environment, Zhou Changqing did not disturb him, and he was not impatient. The two of them walked and stopped, until they made their way to the depths of the snowfield. Heavy snow covered the footprints they left behind.
The two spent nearly seven days, hurrying during the day and resting at night, and finally passed through the outer perimeter of the snowfield, the depths of the snowfield are not a plain, from a distance, large and small snow-white mountains tower, as if connected with the distant sky, quite spectacular.
After seven consecutive days of traveling, Hua Lie seemed a little tired, and was looking for a place to prepare for a day of rest, recuperate his spirits, and then head into the depths of the snowfield, after all, the situation in the depths of the snowfield is more complicated, and without sufficient mental and physical strength, it is easy to have an accident. Although Zhou Changqing didn't feel too tired, he also followed Hua Lie's advice, the two found a sheltered location, Hua Lie carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no traces of other creatures here, the two of them set up two small tents here with peace of mind, this kind of tent is also white, with a pointed top, Zhou Changqing saw that the snowflakes fell on it and did not stick to it at all, and slid down the tent, obviously there was no need to worry about the tent being crushed, and a circle of devices for warning was also arranged far away from the tentγ
The two of them ate some food in the tent, and then they each lay down in the tent to rest, the night in the snow field was very dark, the visibility was very low, and it was accompanied by the whining wind, Zhou Changqing sat in the tent and meditated and cultivated, he sensed that Hua Lie next to him had fallen asleep, but he slept very unsteadily, and turned over from time to time, frowning.
After a night of silence, when the two got up early the next day, the tent was already covered with heavy snow, and the two got out of the snow, packed up the tent buried in the snow, and found a sheltered place to continue to rest.
"Since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, with your familiarity with the snow field, I think you should be able to cultivate all the way in the future, and you don't have to go deep into this snow field so often in the future, I can sense that even on the periphery of the snow field, the monsters there are not something you can deal with in a Qi refining period!" The two of them ate jerky, and Zhou Changqing suddenly spoke.
Hua Lie's action of eating jerky paused slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.
"I want to find the traces left by my father!" It wasn't until the two of them finished eating that Hua Lie said one of the few words in these days.
Zhou Changqing was slightly stunned, just glanced at his back to check the surrounding environment, and didn't speak again, after all, Hua Lie had only been cultivating for a few years, and it was similar to the situation when he first crossed into this world, and he always thought about the good memories of the past mortals, but after so many years, Zhou Changqing found that he remembered the past less and less, and those people and things in his previous life had gradually been forgotten by him, and the number of times he dealt with ordinary mortals became less and less, and he gradually really became like a cultivator.
Zhou Changqing doesn't know whether such a change is good or bad, and he doesn't know whether Hua Lie's persistence over the years is right or wrong.
On the third day, the two embarked on the journey again, Hua Lie said that it was not far from the location of the Millennium Snow Lotus, and it should only be about three days away, so the two decided to rush there as soon as possible.
When the two of them were about to arrive at their destination on the third day, Zhou Changqing's brows couldn't help frowning, and he faintly felt that there was a person behind them who had been secretly following them. Zhou Changqing casually made an excuse and asked Hua Lie to wait for him in place for a while, but he disappeared in place, flying high in the sky, his eyes flashed, and finally found the person who had been following them, but to Zhou Changqing's surprise, he turned out to be Hua Lie's grandfather Huaxin, at this time, Huaxin completely did not have the stupid look that Zhou Changqing had when he first saw him, and he was shrewd and capable, he skillfully ran in the snow, and the footprints left on the snow were almost invisible. Zhou Changqing couldn't help but show a smile on his face, it seems that this old man is already well, this is secretly protecting Hua Lie.
It's just that this old man really has a set, and I don't know how many days he has been following, if it weren't for the faint sense of peeping just now, Zhou Changqing might not have been able to detect his secret following. Zhou Changqing didn't mean to go up to talk, and quietly returned to Hua Lie's side, the two didn't speak, and continued to set off towards their destination. It's just that when he was not far from the destination, Zhou Changqing faintly sensed that there seemed to be a battle ahead, and couldn't help but tell Hua Lie about this discovery.
"Could it be that someone has taken the lead in getting there?" Hua Lie's face changed and he spoke.
"Most likely, these breaths are somewhat familiar, as if they are the four monks of Fu'an Restaurant. Zhou Changqing sensed it carefully and said.
"Zhang He!" Hua Lie's face became ugly, and he said through gritted teeth.
"Let's go! Let's go and have a look. βγ
The two quickly approached the place of the battle, hid in a hidden elevation, and watched the battle below. Zhang He and the four of them were fighting with a huge snow python, this snow python was about thirty meters long, its head was raised high, it was five or six meters high, its sharp teeth, and its shiny scales were intimidating. This snow python was only in the early stage of the sixth order, Zhou Changqing couldn't help but sigh secretly, he thought that the one guarding this thousand-year-old snow lotus would be a seventh-order existence.
The two sides seemed to be evenly matched, and for a while no one could help anyone, the magic aura flickered from time to time, and the battle between the two sides was not small, raising snowflakes in the sky.
