Chapter 7 Butterfly Spring
Uncle Suo's black rope is wonderful. For example, tying up people.
The cautious Uncle Yan stayed on the cliff to guard. And Bai Ye is like a baby, firmly fixed behind Uncle Suo by the thick tendons.
Together, the two of them slowly descended a fifty-foot cliff along a thick rope.
The cliff was full of boulders, and two people sat in a small clearing in the rocks. It's Uncle Beard and Uncle Ba Hong.
Several of the uncles are dressed as ordinary hunters in the Ul Kingdom. The coat of animal skin, the leggings of flax, the swarthy skin glittered in the starlight.
Uncle Ba Hong leaned quietly on the stone, and he himself was like an inconspicuous stone.
He looked at the white smile that he struggled to struggle with from the five-flower tie-up, and a mouthful of white teeth shone in the dark night.
Uncle Hu sat on a boulder with his back and did not speak.
Bai Ye leaned over a little worriedly.
This time, he sneaked out on his own initiative, which is a big taboo.
Since birth, he has been strictly forbidden to leave the village. They are all eighteen years old, and they have only been as far as Yongshun, which is twenty miles away.
Right now, he is standing on the land of the Ul Kingdom.
On the eastern continent, the Wei Kingdom in the north and the Lan Kingdom in the south fought for 400 years. Just around the key between the two countries - the "big city", there have been dozens of tug-of-war bloody battles.
Twenty years ago, these people around me were the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Lan Kingdom, and they fought all the way to the capital of the Ul Kingdom.
If the people of Ul really found out their identity, it would be lively.
"Xiao Yi is my brother, and because of my sin, it is understandable to come over to help this time. Bai Ye silently comforted himself.
"Uncle Hu didn't kick himself back at the first time, but sent two little uncles to protect him secretly, which should be regarded as acquiescing to my adventure. ”
Uncle Beard, who was full of beard, turned his head and glanced at Bai Ye, who was standing quietly and well-behaved, and sure enough, he didn't have much to blame. Just motioned for him to look further.
Following Uncle Beard's gaze, Bai Ye finally found a stretcher in the shadows not far away.
The sturdy wooden frame was firmly tied to the skinny young man. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, nose and thin lips, but his face is a little gray. He had the green calyx on his chest.
Bai Ye ran over in three steps and two steps, leaned down and asked nervously, "Is it okay?"
It was Xiao B who was bound. When he saw his brother chasing after him, his big eyes were full of brilliance.
But he could only close his lips tightly, obviously still exercising to protect his heart.
Uncle Ba came over and silently conveyed spiritual power. After a while, Yi Chi's expression changed a little better, and he whispered, "I can hold on." My sister, got it?"
"Yes, I see. Bai Ye didn't dare to answer after two sentences. Xiao Yi blinked and stopped talking.
Looking down closely, the mass seemed to have changed all along.
It has been more than half a day since the calyx the size of a bull's head has been planted, but the yellow-green hard shell is still warm as jade.
On closer inspection, the sharp teeth on the edge of the calyx had pierced the skin for nearly an inch, but there was no bleeding. The skin around the wound was still grayish-white in the morning, but now it is almost grayish-green.
It's more serious than you think.
Bai Ye was secretly anxious in his heart, and when he raised his head, his face was full of smiles: "This time it's up to me." In the future, I will cover all the firewood in the inn. ”
"No help?" Xiao Yi's gray face couldn't see any expression, but his voice was a little low.
"Well, that's not what I meant!" Bai Ye scolded himself, "I mean, this wound has to be healed for a while. Help your sister chop wood, I'll take care of the month. ”
The immediate priority is to take Yichi to Butterfly Spring for detoxification.
But that method must be very dangerous, Yi Chi's spiritual power is still shallow, whether he can resist it, it is estimated that the uncles are not completely sure.
Now I'm delaying my trip because of myself.
Bai Ye was a little stunned, and he handed Uncle Suo an inquiring look.
None of the uncles spoke. They think about other things.
Everyone knows what Beard has always said: the eagle in a cage will always be meat in the eyes of others.
But taking Xiaoye out to experience this matter, Hu Ziben said that it didn't count. Besides, it is really not a good time to break into the enemy country at night at this moment, and still carry the poisoned Yichi.
Bai Ye didn't know the entanglement of the little uncles, but he just messed up by himself, which made the atmosphere very embarrassing. So some cowardly began to look for topics:
"Uncle Beard, Butterfly Spring is not far away, right? Blame me for delaying everyone's time. ”
"No delay. You're standing in the Butterfly Spring. ”
"Standing in the spring?"
When he came down from the cliff, Bai Ye had already caught a glimpse of the unusually flat land under his feet by the faint starlight.
He didn't think much of it at the time, but now that he looked down, he almost shouted.
There should be no doubt about the little uncles, this must be the Butterfly Spring.
The surrounding area is hundreds of miles, although it is in the territory of the Wei Kingdom, it is more like the backyard of the little uncles, and no one knows the grass and trees here better than them.
But how did this spring turn into ice?
Bai Ye crouched down and carefully observed the ice under his feet.
By the light of the stars, the pebbles at the bottom of the spring are faintly visible. There are many twisted aquatic plants between the cracks of the stones, hanging in the air and supporting in large chunks of solid ice.
A few small half-foot-long fish also twisted and froze inside.
It's the end of August, how can there be ice in the mountains?
Uncle Suo squatted beside Bai Ye at some point. His attention was not on the Butterfly Spring.
The silt near the ice surface is covered with fine ice ballast.
Uncle Suo groped with his hands on the ground, lowered his head and sniffed again, looked back and nodded in the direction of Uncle Beard.
Bai Ye watched his movements for some reason, and also carefully observed the ground. Finally, with the help of Starlight, I could make out that the dirt floor should be an irregular shallow pit the size of a water tank, and the mud arched from the edge of the shallow pit had hardened and frozen.
Looking east, there are one, two, three not far away......
"This is ......" He was a little skeptical of his judgment, but with such a large footprint, this ability to instantly freeze a hundred feet of water, there was only one answer.
"It's a plow. ”
As soon as Bai Ye's words came out, Yi Chi on the stretcher suddenly stirred. The little uncles nodded solemnly.
Bai Ye was stunned.
He had seen in his notes a description of the plough. It was one of the most dangerous spirit beasts in the Eastern Continent.
This kind of behemoth, which is more than 20 feet tall at the shoulders and weighs tens of thousands of catties, can instantly breathe high-level frozen breath, and all the enemies in front of it will be frozen into ice sculptures.
The plough should only live in the snow-capped mountains in the far north of the country, how could it come to Wenyang County in the south?
Moreover, this fierce spirit beast crossed the land of the Ul country for thousands of miles, how could it not hear the relevant news at all?
"More than one. Uncle Suo walked back and forth between the huge footprints a few times and made a clear judgment, "I don't know how to get angry, even the spring and the fish are all destroyed." ”
Bai Ye understood why Uncle Beard looked so depressed.
Xiao Yi is in trouble.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and shouted in the direction of Uncle Huzi: "Let's make a special plough crystal nucleus." Freeze this iron calyx flower and break it. ”
There was no response in the distance, and Uncle Suo's laughter was also full of helplessness.
It's a plow, or a bunch. With a few of them, don't even think about the connection.
Bai Ye looked around and was also deflated. Even if you have a crystal nucleus, who will use it? Anyway, I won't. The little uncles are all only able to do physical arts, and no one knows secret arts. Could it be that this time Xiao Yi ......
Uncle Hu stood up suddenly, and Uncle Suo beside him also silently pulled out the black rope.
In the next moment, Bai Ye was protected by the little uncles at the core.
Bai Ye didn't react for a while. After looking in the direction of the uncles' gaze for a long time, he finally realized that Uncle Yan, who was on the cliff, had given up his position and slid down the long rope.
But he's not the only one on the long rope.
He was horrified to find that two slightly hunched black figures were also pulling on thick ropes and following him closely.
In the darkness, there seemed to be more figures, silently sliding down the cliffs. The total number is probably no less than a few dozen.
But those are not people.
