Chapter 252: Seeing the Wolves Again
Chapter 252: Seeing the Wolves Again
Large flakes of snow fell, and the snow was cold and silent, except for the terrible north wind.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu both quieted down, and neither of them said anything more. Shen Shi walked forward silently with her on his back, his mind was a little dazed, and when a cold wind blew on his face, he shivered, and he came to his senses a little.
He looked around and found that he had really been lost in the blizzard on the far north, surrounded by a vast expanse of snow, as if the scenery was the same in all directions. As far as the eye can see, this snowy field seems to be completely flat, open and boundless, with not even a slightly undulating hillside in sight. I don't know where the way back is, and finding a place to shelter from the wind seems to be extremely difficult at the moment.
Shen Shi sighed softly, then shook his head and shook off the snowflakes that fell on his forehead, and walked forward again. But this wind and snow seemed endless, and new snowflakes soon fell on his head and body again, and the chill penetrated through his clothes and into his skin.
A white palm gently stretched out from his shoulder, and with a little timidity and extra care, swept away the large expanse of snow on him. Shen Shi turned his face slightly, and the palm of his hand swept over the edge of his cheek, with a faint warmth.
After a while, a low voice came from behind him, saying:
"Stone, I'm sorry. ”
Shen Shi didn't look back, just paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you." ”
“...... Tonight, too, I dragged you down. ”
Shen Shi exhaled lightly, smiled, and repeated again, "It's okay." ”
The footprints stepped on the snow, all the way forward, and then soon they were buried by the wind and snow behind the moving figures, leaving no trace. For a moment, Zhong Qinglu, who was lying on Shen Shi's back, had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there were only two of them left in this cold world.
Just like this, he slowly walked in the wind and snow, walking, and I don't know how long he walked, Shen Shi's footsteps seemed to start to slow down, as if he had become a little struggling. But looking around, I still didn't see any place to hide from this blizzard. After being silent for a long time, Zhong Qinglu leaned forward lightly and said, "Let me down, you can rest for a while." ”
Shen Shi shook his head slowly, did not stop, and a little anxiety vaguely flashed in his eyes, but he continued to move forward. Zhong Qinglu listened to his obviously heavy breathing, his heart was mixed, and he was thinking about saying a few more words of persuasion, but suddenly felt that Shen Shi's body suddenly stagnated, but he stopped suddenly.
Her heart jumped, thinking that Shen Shi was finally too tired, so she quickly raised her head and just wanted to persuade him, but at that moment, she found that Shen Shi was staring at the front with blazing eyes, and her face suddenly became solemn.
Zhong Qinglu also looked ahead with some doubts, but only saw a piece of wind and snow, and did not find anything unusual. She was a little puzzled in her heart, she felt it carefully, but she still didn't notice any special danger, it stands to reason that her Dao Realm is actually slightly higher than Shen Shi in the Ning Yuan Realm, this perception can't be lower than him, right?
Just when she was confused, she suddenly heard a low voice next to her, she looked down, but found that Xiao Hei, who had been following her, also stood up, also looking ahead, but it was a change from the harmless appearance of humans and animals before, revealing sharp and bright fangs, facing the depths of the wind and snow ahead, making a low but fierce roar.
Zhong Qinglu looked at Xiao Hei, and then looked back at Shen Shi's solemn and solemn face, as if he suddenly thought of something, and looked up at the roaring wind and snow in the distance. Her face slowly turned a little pale, and there was no obvious fear in it, but there was a bit of guilt on her face.
She sighed softly, leaned her cheek on Shen Shi's shoulder as if resigned to her fate, and said in a low voice:
"Stone, I'm sorry......"
Shen Shi took a deep breath, gently put Zhong Qinglu down, then glanced at her pale face that was a little sad, suddenly smiled, and then pulled her closer to himself, like comforting a little frightened animal, hugged her gently, and said softly:
"It's okay, don't be afraid. ”

Snowflakes fell from the sky in large swaths, turning this cold snowfield into a white world. Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu stood in the wind and snow like this, quietly looking at the wind and snow in front of them. At first it was quiet, except for the sound of the wind, as if even the snowflakes were silent when they fell.
But gradually, there seemed to be another breath in the snow.
Vague shadows slowly came from the darkness, swaying or shaking, not clear to see or not real, mixed with the shadows of snowflakes dancing in the wind, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. Until suddenly a faint light appeared in the depths of the snowstorm.
A faint glow of green fire.
Shen Shi stared coldly in that direction, and at the same time felt that Zhong Qinglu's body beside him suddenly became a little stiff and cold, he hesitated for a moment, and gently pulled her over, trying to block behind him. But Zhong Qinglu suddenly grabbed his arm, shook his head slightly, did not retreat, and then gritted his teeth like this, and stood beside him without saying a word, standing side by side with him, looking at the darkness ahead.
The dark green was like a ghost fire, swaying in the wind and snow, at first it seemed to be far away and sometimes near, but soon it was clearly approaching Shen Shi and them. In the wind and snow, slowly, a tall and vicious figure was revealed, it was a gray wolf, with sharp teeth and fangs, and the most conspicuous thing was that in the two eye sockets, it was no longer the naked eyes of beasts and monsters, but two ghost fires burning.
Shen Shi exhaled lightly and whispered, "Ghost Blood Wolf." ”
Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered that he had heard this name a few days ago, and immediately frowned delicately, and after a while, he complained in a low voice:
"That bald guy is really unreliable!"
Shen Shi didn't say much, but in the face of the ghost thing he had fought and defeated a few days ago, his face didn't have a too relaxed look, and his gaze drifted to the back of this ghost after sweeping over the ghost blood wolf that had just come out.
Sure enough, with a low and frightening roar, in that piece of wind and snow, the faint green ghost fire appeared little by little, and there were more and more hideous figures, and later, it seemed to surround from all directions.
The wind and snow were howling, and Shen Shi's heart seemed to be slowly getting cold.
And at this moment, Xiao Hei, who was standing on the side, suddenly raised his head and roared violently into the night sky in front of him.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu looked up at the same time, behind this group of ghost blood wolves that were at least ten times more numerous than before, in the depths of the wind and snow, in the dark night, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps, like a giant suddenly stepping on this vast snowfield, making the earth tremble.
A vague but huge figure, vaguely with a huge body dozens of feet high, slowly emerged in the wind and snow in front of it.
(Sorry for being a bit late in this chapter.) Today I have been battling the laziness and procrastination that are ingrained in my heart all day...... Finally defeated myself who kept wanting to play @@!)
