Chapter 5: Dragon's Blood (I)

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Chengche was woken up from his sleep by Ju Chongde, washed and dressed in a daze and walked out of the igloo.

"Mr. Big?" he was sleepy-eyed, and was stunned to see a tall figure standing in front of the house, "You haven't slept?"

"I don't have to sleep. Mr. Big looked at the night with his hands behind his back, his eyes always fixed on the seven stars in the northern sky, and there was an indescribable look hidden between his eyebrows.

"Are you looking at the stars?" Ji Chengche curiously learned from Mr. Big to look up at the stars, "We also have astrologers in the Han Dynasty, who watch the stars every night and divinate good fortune and evil. Do you see anything?"

"The night is not young. Mr. Big said softly.

Ji Cheng was confused and said: "Ye Weiyang...... What do you mean?"

"It's still far from dawn. Mr. Big smiled and said, "So I can only stand here and wait for the dawn." ”

"Oh, that's right. Ji Chengche seemed to understand, "Mr. Big, I heard my father say that there is a skyscraper ice waterfall in the extreme north of the Metaverse that is not the beginning and the end, and the waterfall is the extreme of the earth when it falls into the North Sea, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Mr. Big didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard Ji Chengche's question.

Before Ji Chengche could ask again, he heard Ju Chongde remind: "Your Highness, you are too late." ”

Ji Chengche woke up and said, "Ah, General Ju, let's go quickly, I can't let that liar laugh!"

Mr. Big suddenly said: "If General Ju doesn't go, this matter will be completed by Lin Yin and you." ”

"Mr. Big?" Ji Chengche looked at him in amazement.

"Go ahead and become a master of how to train your dragon. I believe that you will soon be qualified to be my disciple. ”

"Oh. Ji Chengche was reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Mr. Big's order.

Ju Chongde obviously had communicated with Mr. Big, and only advised: "Your Highness, you have six Holy Dragon Hearts and Souls in your backpack, don't forget to take one every day." ”

"Will you encounter a beast?" Ji Cheng looked at the glacier of the black hole, and his heart was a little drumming.

"The aura of a giant dragon is permeated within a radius of a hundred miles, and no ice beast dares to approach it. ”

"What about a hundred miles away?"

"A hundred miles away," Mr. Big smiled and said, "Lin Yin will take care of you." ”

"He?" Ji Chengche was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that even Ju Chongde, who was known as the first warrior of the Han Dynasty, almost folded under the claws of the snow leopard on the ice field, could that little liar be reliable?

But he could only hold these words in his stomach, and after struggling again and again, the desire to defeat the mortal enemy finally overcame the fear in his heart, and he stabilized the bag behind him and said loudly: "Mr. Big, General Ju, then I'm leaving!"

Step by step, he stepped into the darkness and climbed to the top of the glacier.

It was very dark, Ji Chengqing stumbled up the glacier with a torch in his hand, and the figures of Mr. Big and Ju Chongde gradually became blurred, and at first there was a rough outline, but then it completely blended into the darkness.

There was silence all around, the wind cut his face like a cold knife, and Ji Chengche couldn't help but be afraid.

He wanted to turn back several times, but he didn't want to be ridiculed by Mr. Big and Ju Chongde, especially when he thought of Lin Yin's hateful face and the hateful sneer on that face, Ji Chengche gritted his teeth and climbed up again.

The blood flow in his body slowly accelerated, his body no longer felt cold, and his endurance was much longer than before.

You must know that the hard work of the Ten Thousand Years Xuanshuang Holy Dragon is hard to find with only one drop, which can bring people back to life and prolong their lives.

Ji Chengche takes it every day, and his physique has undergone earth-shaking changes unconsciously, which is no less than washing the marrow and plucking his hair. It's just that the body was too weak after being poisoned by witchcraft in the past, so it still needs to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan.

Growing so big, this was the first time Ji Chengche walked alone at night, and the light of the torch reflected his shadow on the ice, and the shadow was like a dancing ghost.

He couldn't remember how many times he had fallen, but luckily the torch in his hand was not an ordinary thing, and it could still burn.

Deliberately, Lin Yin must have deliberately set the time of departure on the fifth watch, in order to make a fool of himself!

The more Ji Chengqing thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly a force suddenly gave birth to it out of nowhere, and the speed of climbing the mountain became faster and faster, and his heart was not as fearful as he was at the beginning.

- As a prince, how can you lose to a liar!

In the blink of an eye, Ji Chengche walked to the peak, and those dragons didn't know where they went in the dark night. The summit was silent, filled with a cloud of lilac ice mist.

"Click, click, click......" The surroundings were so quiet that Ji Cheng could clearly hear the sound of his boots stepping on the snow.

He walked cautiously along the lakeside, only to see the ice mist like a veil, and the night of the ice field was like a beautiful face looming behind the light veil, mysterious and quiet.

The stars shimmered brightly, and they seemed so close to them that they seemed to be within reach......

Ji Chengche held his breath and struggled forward, climbed over the peak, and followed the ice ladder to the village below.

Slowly, he saw a cluster of red light at the entrance of the village in the distance, twinkling quietly like stars in the sky.

Inexplicably, Ji Cheng's heart froze, and all his fears and apprehensions disappeared.

He lifted his cuffs to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, and walked down the ice ladder with one foot high and one foot low.

When Ji Chengche walked the last ice ladder, he couldn't help but look back at the peak, he couldn't believe that he had really completed this night road alone, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

Overnight, he seemed to have grown a lot.

It was Lin Yin who was holding the torch at the entrance of the village, and behind him was a sleigh pulled by an eight-headed snow mastiff.

The snow mastiff is a unique species on the Northern Wilderness Ice Field, its size and strength are far superior to ordinary mastiffs, and its ferocity is even more terrifying to many fierce beasts.

Lin Yin looked at the Qixing in the sky with a cold face, and said in a somewhat fierce tone: "You are late." ”

"How can there be?!" Ji Chengche sat on the sleigh, suddenly felt sore, weak and weak, and gasped: "I'm here, you're disappointed, right?"

Lin Yin snorted, jumped onto the sleigh, tied the torch, and raised the leather whip to strike out of thin air.

There was a crackling sound, and the sleigh slid slightly on the ice.

The snow mastiff ran faster than lightning, and the sleigh carried Ji Chengche and Lin Yin all the way north, and in a snap of a finger the village was left far behind the horizon.

Ji Chengqing sat on a sleigh for the first time in his life, and at first he thought it was interesting and looked left and right excitedly. But as the speed of the snow mastiff continued to increase, the sleigh violently tossed, like a boat sailing in the furious sea, as if it could capsize at any moment.

His hands gripped the handle beside him, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling the urge to vomit.

Lin Yin glanced at Ji's clear and pale little face, and sneered: "I can't stand it? ”

"Idiot, I'm closing my eyes to recuperate!" Ji Chengche was furious, desperately widening his eyes to show his bravery.

Lin Yin laughed and said nothing.

Ji Chengche couldn't help but feel a little envious when he saw him skillfully driving the sled, and snorted lowly: "Your sleigh is far worse than the dragon boat I have ridden." ”

Lin Yin said coldly: "You can go down whenever you want, I promise not to stop you." ”

Ji Chengche realized that this place was far away from the village, and if he annoyed this wild boy who had no reason to speak of, he might have left himself in this wilderness, at that time......

Ji Chengche suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I don't understand, why don't you ask your family to help pick purple dragon tongue." I heard Mr. Big say that your father is a famous dragon trainer. ”

Lin Yin looked at Ji Chengqing like an idiot, and said, "If you chase a girl, will you ask someone else to give her flowers for you?"

"If I grow up, I will let all the beauties in the world chase me!"

Lin Yin looked away with a black line on his face, and refused to deal with this narcissist.

"Let's go all the way north, and we can find the purple dragon tongue?" Ji Chengche was unwilling to let Lin Yin go.

Lin Yin said coldly: "If you keep your mouth shut, I will be able to find the purple dragon tongue." ”

In this way, the two of them walked on the North Wilderness Ice Sheet on a sleigh for two days and two nights, and by noon on the third day, they could already see the North Sea.

Along the way, the two encountered several groups of fierce beasts looking for food, but they were all forced back by the snow mastiff commanded by Lin Yin without danger.

In the evening, the two came to the foot of a snowy mountain, and the mastiff began to climb with difficulty.

Lin Yin jumped off the sleigh and pushed it behind, and Ji Chengche also came down to help when he saw this.

The days are short and the nights are long, the sky soon darkens, and the last touch of the sun also blends into the sea and sky in the distance.

Lin Yin let go of the snow mastiff, and Ji Chengche thought that he was going to set up camp, so he couldn't wait to untie his backpack and flip it inside to eat.

After eating a few bites, I heard Lin Yin urge: "Eat quickly, let's walk up the mountain immediately." ”

Ji Chengche was stunned: "I want to sleep!"

Lin Yin said indifferently: "Do you want to stay here alone?" ”

"I have an opinion!" Ji Cheng said angrily: "It's cold and dark at night, so you can't rush at all!"

Lin Yin said: "Who said that we were going to hurry, let's go up the mountain to find the purple dragon tongue." ”

Ji Chengche was stunned and said, "You can find the purple dragon tongue when you go up the mountain in the dark, why?"

"The growth habit of the purple dragon tongue is mysterious and unpredictable, it only grows deep in the stone crevices in the shade of the cliffs, and its roots do not penetrate into the soil, so it is difficult to find it during the day. But at night, its leaves glow, making it easier to find. ”

Lin Yin continued: "In addition, it only grows near the crater of the Northern Wilderness Ice Field, and it can only be picked at this time of year. After more than half a month, the leaves of the purple dragon's tongue will wither. ”

Ji Chengche was surprised: "You mean this ...... under our feet Is it a volcano? Is it going to breathe fire?"

Lin Yin glanced at Ji Chengqing, and deliberately scared him: "It will be at any time, and it will come without warning." ”

Ji Chengche hurriedly raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain, and looked carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Liar," he suddenly realized, "I remember that there was no black smoke coming from the top of the mountain before dark, which means that it will not breathe fire so quickly." ”

Lin Yin stood up, picked up the package containing the tools, lit the torch in his hand and said, "Are you leaving?"

Ji Chengche also lit a torch and asked, "You also came here to pick purple dragon tongue last time?"

"Hmm. Lin Yin opened the way in front, and the eight-headed snow mastiff was arranged in a fan-shaped line, protecting him and Ji Chengqing.

"Then let's stay a few more days this time and fill the entire sled!"

"Stupid. ”

"If you dare to scold me again, I will break off my friendship with you!"

"After the leaves of the purple dragon tongue are picked, they can only be stored for seven days. Got it, stupid!"

"When we go back, we'll break up!"

"Just what I wanted. ”

The stars were shining in the night, and the two men were arguing while climbing the mountain, their backs fading away in the light of the torches.
