Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 37 Snow Demon
After an afternoon of rest, Bai Lianzhou and Rongmei parted ways outside Saru Town.
According to the original route, Melt sent the boy all the way to the gate of St. Landel before leaving.
Although he knew in his heart that Bai Lianzhou would be fine as long as he was received by the astrological messenger to St. Rondel, he still looked back step by step, and was willing to leave after several confirmations.
It's not that he can't be relieved by this stupid stunned young man, he is making sure that the spies of this Wind Empire are not following him.
_
Above the dark night, there were cold white stars. Melt looked at the familiar stars in fascination.
He squatted like a vigorous and sharp black cheetah in front of the stone monument at the entrance of the town, and at his feet lay the corpse of a sparrow, and the inscription hung with blood and milky white brains, which had long since dried up and solidified, like a lump of rotting tofu dregs.
There are occasionally a few "brushes, brushes" in the air, the sound of rapid and short-lived air currents, and because of the fluctuation of spiritual power, every gust of wind rubbing against the ears has a sharp feeling of scraping the flesh.
Melt Charm's eyelashes trembled twice, and her originally lowered eyes opened suddenly, and a layer of sea-blue mist covered the originally dark silver iris. Countless tiny stars like white gems roll in the outline of the eye.
Suddenly, his eyes were unwavering, and the corners of his mouth were pursed downward with nervousness.
The spiritual power on his fingers flashed like countless short bursts of dark silver lightning in the dark night.
He must have been the only astrologer who dared to come to Saru at this time. The fluctuations of spiritual power here are very chaotic, and it has reached the point where it is impossible to detect it with ordinary astrology. He didn't dare to act rashly anymore, because he felt a familiar power—
Melt slowly approached the houses in the town, slowly walking past the dilapidated courtyards.
Not far away, on the other side, a soft-footed man carefully bypassed the low shed of the farmyard, stepping on the broken rubble, the snow on the ground creaking.
Melt saw herself as people said she was:
"Snow Demon", the fourth god-level spirit beast in ancient times.
It was a fox as white as snow, smaller than an ordinary fox, and the fox fur on its body was moist and shiny, and it must have been very soft to the touch. It has a short mouth with blood at the corners of its mouth, and its ears are short and round like cat ears. The pair of narrow and uplifted eyes are also dark silver, and there is a more dementoring beauty than his own. Its tail is very long, like the tail of a white tuxedo, fluttering lightly.
When he saw the dissolved charm, the snow demon raised his head upward, sat on the ground and hissed twice, and the tail behind him slowly stretched out, like a cold white python.
"So...... Where there's a snow demon, it snows, doesn't it?" Melty muttered to herself.
Two pairs of dark silver eyes looked at each other, and in those fox eyes, they were full of tenderness and longing, making the human gaze begin to retreat and dodge.
He cautiously took a few steps back, his right hand hidden behind him, and with it, a few wisps of silver-white spiritual power were wrapped around his five fingers. A sharp metal sound tore through the wind, and he clutched a thin sword tightly in his hand.
The snow demon's tail swung faintly twice, and countless pieces of snow surged upward, quickly spinning and expanding on the ground, forming a circle of shimmering silver-white light. Wisps of cold air poured from its body to Mellow's feet, and tiny ice cubes swayed upward, stirring the corners of his clothes and pouring into his trousers.
And in the next moment, the little fox stretched its body, raised its paws and yawned, and all the wind and roars in the air suddenly stopped with the delicate fox chirping—
Several streams of spiritual power under the feet of the dissolving charm shot up, like vines biting his own flesh and skin, and the joints above and below his body suddenly condensed with a layer of ice, and after the fox's tail slowly swung down, he knelt heavily on the ground.
It was as if the auditory had sunk into the deep sea in an instant, without any sound, not even the sound of one's own heartbeat. He struggled to lift his eyelids, and instead of a chaotic blizzard, he was greeted by two slightly squinted fox eyes that shimmered with a soft luster like mercury.
He couldn't hide his panic and struggled to get up, but the soft, smooth, fluffy white tail was already wrapped around his neck.
“...... Don't worry, I'm not a hunter, and I can't beat you. Rong Mei threw the thin sword in her hand, slowly lowered her hand to her side, and put away all the spiritual power on her arm.
The snow demon's face was as pale as water, and the power on his tail was a little lighter.
"Huh...... Are you conscious?" Rong Mei boldly raised her hand and stroked the precious fox fur round neck, which still smelled of smoked fish, "It seems that you were attracted by Zhen Shidu. You've found your prey, and that's me, right?"
The foxtail didn't move, but the snow fog around it was getting bigger and bigger, and it had completely blinded the charm's vision.
He struggled to prop his hands on the ground and stared at its face in a kneeling position: "You are the strongest spirit beast I have ever seen, and the first spirit beast with human consciousness. Is it true that as long as I use spiritual power, you will kill me in an instant?"
The Snow Demon was still motionless, but its fox eyes were round, and it looked like a pair of crystal clear amber.
"To turn this place upside down, is it to let me end it on purpose?" "If your place is found by the Beast Clan's group of psychic magicians, they will definitely peel off your skin and make a fine silver fox scarf for Her Highness the Queen, and then sacrifice your dark silver eyes to King Ferrer." Aren't you afraid, I'll bring the patriarch of the Beast Clan to subdue you?"
The fox's pupils suddenly contracted into thin lines, and it wrapped its tail tightly as if threateningly, and a light red strangulation mark appeared on the neck of the dissolved charm.
"If you wanted to kill me, you could have torn my body apart, but you hesitated. Rong Mei smiled lightly, judging from what he had just seen, the little fox's IQ should be able to understand everything he said, so he continued: "There is still blood left in the corners of your mouth, is it human blood, or the blood of other spirit beasts?
The snow demon nodded slightly, and it looked back at the north, its snow-white fox fur trembling slightly in the breeze.
"You mean, in the north, in the north of the empire?"
Still yes.
After stabilizing the spirit beast's mood, Rong Mei slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled his black robe tight, and looked up at the chaotic wind and snow. The long hairs at the end of the fox's tail resemble floating aquatic plants, scratching the back of his neck, and it is a little itchy.
He even boldly put his finger on the small, sharp claw and asked, "Since Zhen Shi will definitely attract you here, it proves that the spiritual power fluctuations brought about by my spiritual energy will be higher than yours, right?"
The snow demon's tail suddenly retracted, hunched over, eyes widened, and jumped away from the side of the dissolving, and the scalp-tingling low whistle in the air sounded again, almost unbearable for humans-
But Rong Mei chuckled and said in a solemn voice: "Little fox, it seems that your understanding of the 'Zhen Shi Decision' is not profound. ”
The man's body arched, and countless dark silver spiritual power carvings suddenly surged all over his body, and the light was particularly dazzling in the blizzard. The snow demon roared angrily, and its sharp fangs that flashed with cold light had already gritted up. Just as the tooth almost bit the throat of the dissolved charm, an explosion was heard in the air, and the long body kneeling on the ground suddenly twisted the color of snow and mist, dissipating from view.
The waves of spiritual power spread out like ripples in circles and circles, like a heavy hammer, smashing heavily on the spirit beast. In the vast white field of vision, a black figure suddenly appeared, ghostly rising from its original position, quickly picking up the thin sword on the ground, and then jumped up, and the sharp sword roared through the air-
With a few crisp "crackling" sounds, the sword fell short. The fox's lithe body had already dodged backwards on the shattered ice on the ground, and its terrible voice was hidden in the wind and snow along with its silver-white body.
"I'm not just an astrologer, I'm also an illusionist. ”
In the next moment, Melting Charm's feet slowly stepped on the translucent ice cubes, and with a crisp and subtle "click" sound, the ground began to shake slightly, and his figure flashed, jumping into the chaotic wind and snow.
Among the countless snowflakes that flew like feathers, he found the location of the snow demon with unmistakable accuracy, and with just one hand he reached out and grabbed the soft flesh on the back of his neck, and lifted the little fox up.
The flying snow that had just swept and whistling instantly turned into countless sharp ice spikes, like a huge lotus flower, enveloping the dissolving charm in layers, many sharp horns had already cut through his clothes and skin, and were melted and diluted by the warm human blood, turning into pools of pink blood.
"You don't want to die with me, do you?" Dissolved Charm's thin sword suddenly shook violently, disappearing into his palm with a ripple of air. A serpentine wound had been cut on his wrist, and the white bones were faintly visible.
He is in the midst of spikes, and if he is not careful, he will be poked into a hedgehog. He touched the fox's body to the spike and said, "If you don't want to be poked to death by your spiritual power, just obey." ”
The snow demon's dark silver eyes widened, as if he wanted to question the charm of the melt and why he was able to control himself.
There was a murderous aura faintly on Rong Mei's face: "I am the owner of the 'Zhen Shi Duel', on this continent, don't you kill whoever you want? You think that your spiritual power is thousands of times stronger than mine, and you deliberately hit the knife edge, you can't blame me." ”
The snow demon whimpered, and kicked the dissolved arm hard with its hind legs.
"Be my spirit beast, or be poked to death by ice now, you choose one yourself. He touched the snow demon's hindpaws with his badly wounded hand, "Oh, you wonder why I'm so merciful?...... It's not that this hand can't be recovered, why am I angry with you?"
The fox's cry was hoarse and high-pitched, the roaring and tumbling spiritual power gradually weakened, and the snowflakes in the air stopped.
"Selected?" a smile crossed Rongmei's cold and handsome face, "Okay, I'll take you back to St. Randle." But don't come out until I tame you, stay in my spiritual power circuit, understand?"
The snow demon's tail flicked, like a girl's long skirt fluttering, and dissipated on the shoulders of the black figure.
The spiritual power field of Saru Town instantly fell into an empty dead silence.
