Chapter 23: The Fall
Originally, he just asked casually, but he didn't want to blush, so he nodded heavily, "Well, okay!"
The two sat on the makeshift table and chairs, and ate the golden and crispy snow rabbits one by one, and after the sacrifice of the Five Organs Temple, Qi Yue suddenly asked: "Senior sister, do you know how many fellow Jianghu people have gone to the appointment on our trip to destroy demons?"
After all, Yinhe is a girl, so the speed of eating should be slower, seeing Qi Yue's question, he hurriedly put down the uneaten rabbit leg in his hand, and said: "Senior brother came late and didn't know, in fact, we arrived at the foot of the mountain half a month ago, but we have been suffering from no way up the mountain, and we have been waiting for more than ten days in desperation." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoUntil seven days ago, the elites of the various sects gathered, and at the suggestion of the Venerable of the Occultation Moon of Changming Mountain, nearly two hundred righteous path masters were divided into seven teams and scattered from all corners of the Blood Demon Mountain to find their way, according to the map given by the Martial Arts Alliance, there will be a large altar halfway up the mountain, and we will meet there when the time comes"
"I heard when I came here before that there are a lot of evil path masters gathered in the Blood Demon Mountain this time, aren't we worried about being broken one by one when we are so scattered?" Qi Yue could see the flaws in the plan at a glance, and the people of the evil path were definitely not stupid, and it was really a little uneasy that the matter was not clarified.
Otoha stood up and saw that everyone seemed to be about to leave, so he turned his head and said, "This matter is also part of the plan, let's talk slowly on the way."
Walking with many masters, Qi Yue finally felt what it means to be strong, and the people who opened the way for the first were all masters of the transformation realm, and all kinds of true qi seemed to form a barrier, blocking the cold wind and snow outside, and there was no inch.
And Qi Yue and Yin He and other low-level cultivators followed behind them with peace of mind, chatting all the way, as if they were coming for an outing.
"Since you want to lure out the other party, why wasn't Senior Uncle Ling Kuang here during the scuffle yesterday?" When he first saw Ling Kuang yesterday, Qi Yue was very puzzled, since he scolded others for not stopping the opponent, why didn't he take action in person, but suddenly appeared afterwards.
Yinhe was held by Qi Yue's hand and struggled to move forward in the snow, not looking impatient in the face of Qi Yue's questions one after another, but happily answering his questions.
"It's not that Senior Uncle Ling Kuang stood by and watched, but there was also a powerful person in the evil path who came yesterday, and Uncle Ling went to chase that person, so when he came back, he was so angry when he saw us letting people go."
"In this way, that group of evil ways did not attack the camp last night, which means that they have retreated, and it seems that no one will come again in a short time"
Qi Yue's guess was right, he had been sparing in the mountains for a whole day, not to mention people, and even animals had not seen a few, especially Ling Kuang's breath that no one should enter, which could be clearly felt from a few miles away.
Until the evening, the wind and snow subsided, and the sunset shone into the mountains, so that the tired people felt a little warm, this is Ling Kuang and a wave of his hand to order everyone to start establishing a camp, and this time Qi Yue is no exception, it just so happens that he and Yinhe were sent out to hunt, looking for more than 20 people to fill their stomachs at night, the responsibility is not heavy.
"Uncle Shi is really, just send me, and let a girl get frozen" Looking at the trembling Yinhe, Qi Yue couldn't bear it, and took off his robe and put it on.
Perhaps he didn't expect Qi Yue to do this, Yinhe's face was blushing, his body was tense, and he said "thank you" in a mosquito-like voice.
"Or I'll find you a warm place, you wait for me there, I'll come back to pick you up when I hit the prey, and if you don't say anything when you go back, no one will know" Qi Yue proposed a way that he thought was the best of both worlds.
As a result, Yinhe shook his head like a rattle, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said with a crying voice: "Senior brother, do you think I'm clumsy and dragging my feet?"
I couldn't see a girl crying in front of me, Qi Yue hurriedly explained: "Of course not, it's just that it's freezing and the snow is too big, you're a girl, I'm afraid you'll freeze and there's no medicine here."
Yinhe grabbed Qi Yue's hand and begged: "I'm not afraid, as long as Senior Brother doesn't leave me alone, I won't be afraid of any big wind and snow."
A girl said this, Qi Yue was not good at refusing, but the other party had to freeze out the whole thing, and deliberately pulled her to his side, and a thin layer of Gang Qi isolated the outside world, so that he could rest assured.
Not to mention the wind and snow here stop the pace of progress, the cold frost in the air alone makes the hunter's visibility less than two feet, and even if there is any prey in front of him, he can't see it at all.
In the past two days, in this place of wind and snow, Qi Yue unexpectedly comprehended some of the mysteries of wind and snow, although he couldn't step on the snow without a trace, but it was not as hard as before.
But with a burden behind him, he had to take care of her from time to time, which greatly slowed down Qi Yue's pace of travel, and the hunting thing did not progress for a long time.
"Huh~" exhaled the cold air, turned his head to look at the sweaty forehead behind him, but he was unwilling to give up the sound charge, sighed and said: "It's not okay to look for it like this, the wind and snow are too big to perform, even if you find the prey, I'm afraid you can't catch up, we have to think of another way" Seeing that the afterglow on the horizon is about to be annihilated, once it enters the cold night, I'm afraid how the two of them will go back is a problem.
Yin He rubbed his hands, and as for the hot breath on the side of his mouth, he felt much better, and responded: "Senior brother, don't worry, I heard that yesterday's Beigong Daxia used traps when hunting, why don't we also make some traps and wait for the rabbit."
I have to say that although Yinhe's opinion is very pertinent, there is a fatal problem, that is, neither of the two has learned how to hunt, according to Qi Yue's original memory, his family was originally a seaside fisherman, and he is very good at fishing and drying nets, and he has never been in contact with hunting, and he has no way to start.
"If it really doesn't work, let's go to the edge of the cliff and find some fruit, so that we can have an explanation when we go back," Otoha suggested in a whisper with his eyes flashing.
Qi Yue looked at the vast ice and snow world around him, and felt that there was really no hope for hunting, so he could only nod his head in agreement with her thoughts, and pointed to the cliff in the distance and said, "I seem to see trees in that direction during the day, let's go there and have a look."
Yinhe looked at the situation, and indeed faintly saw that there was a different color, so he followed behind Qi Yue very obediently, and the two of them walked towards the cliff step by step.
Seeing that the sun has completely set down, the dense fog once again obscured the sky, and the wind and snow at night were even more cold, forcing Qi Yue to increase the output of internal force, and the external Gang Qi was once again reinforced, so that the two of them had a trace of warmth to find.
But this is not a long-term solution, he has deeply felt that the internal force is a little beyond his means, according to this consumption, it will be exhausted in an hour, although he can still bear it, but the sound charge behind him is afraid that something will happen.
"I can't go any further, it's getting late, the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, let's go back quickly" Halfway through, Qi Yue stopped and turned to Yinhe and said.
But the delicate little girl was sent to suffer from the cold with him, although there is a Gang Qi cover body to avoid the suffering of wind and snow, but the climate here is already unusually cold, Yin He hugged Qi Yue's coat, the whole person has been curled up, if it is not for the strong personality, I am afraid that it will not be able to bear it for a long time.
Hearing Qi Yue's suggestion, Rumeng nodded again and again, and couldn't wait to return to the camp to keep warm.
The road back is not easier than before, the same wind and snow, the same cold and freezing, dripping into ice, the difference is that it is still daytime when it comes, and now it is completely out of sight, the sun and moon are not seen here all year round, and there will be no trees to mark, so you can only move forward in the dark with memory.
"Division...... Senior brother, you ...... Do you think we're on the wrong path?" asked in a sudden whisper beside him, attracting Qi Yue's attention.
Stopping and looking around, they suddenly saw a mountain wall not far to the left, and they were on the edge of the rock wall.
Qi Yue was shocked in his heart, you must know that there was no such terrain when he came, and the situation in front of him could only explain one problem.
"We're lost" "We're on the wrong track"
The two looked at each other and said at the same time, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
There is nothing worse than this, getting lost in such a situation is undoubtedly fatal, the Gang Qi in the body can only last for half an hour, and if the two of them can't go back before that, they are likely to face the threat of death.
"Don't be afraid, let's go back along the road and we will definitely find the right way"
Although there is also some anxiety in the bottom of his heart, after all, as a man, he should be calmer, holding Yinhe's trembling hand, and his hand is cold, as if the whole person has no body temperature, which can frighten Qi Yue.
"What's the matter with your body?" Hurriedly separated a wisp of internal force and injected it into her body along the soft wattle, until there was some blood on her face, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin He, who had recovered his strength, hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't waste your internal strength for me anymore, the most important thing for us now is to find a way back!"
Qi Yue nodded, she was worried, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, my internal strength is still sufficient, let's go!"
"Squeak~"
As soon as he took a step, an unknown sound suddenly came from under his feet, Qi Yue faintly felt that something was wrong, and said, "What sound?"
"Bang~!"
"Ah.........h
The snow layer under her feet sank without warning, Yinhe screamed, and the whole person fell, Qi Yue quickly grabbed her right hand, but he didn't want to fall under his feet.
From the top of their heads, the entire cliff where Qi Yue was standing collapsed, like an avalanche, instantly submerging the two of them in the white world, and no sound could be heard anymore.
The wind and snow on the top of the mountain will not stop because of this, and after the two of them fell, the big pit under their feet was buried again in less than half an hour, even if someone could never find any traces.
