"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Not long after entering the cave, heavy rain started pouring down. The rain made a crackling sound, like marbles falling from the sky.
In the sky, there were continuous bursts of thunder, and the air was unusually dull.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Jiang Lingyu patted her chest and said to herself, "Fortunately, I found this cave in advance, otherwise I would have no place to hide..."
It was getting late, and the heavy rain kept falling. Soon, the sky outside became completely dark. Because of the rain, the temperature dropped suddenly.
At first, there was a bonfire inside the cave, and it was easier to stay warm around the bonfire.
But after all, firewood was needed to maintain the bonfire, and the amount of firewood in the cave was simply not enough, so the fire quickly went out.
Not to mention that it is raining heavily outside now, even if it stops raining, everywhere will be wet, making it difficult to find suitable firewood.
Although the cave was dry, it was very leaky, and the whistling cold wind kept whistling in. Soon, even Jiang Lingyu, who had the strength of the first stage of the third stage, was shivering from the cold.
"Hey, I made a mistake. I should have prepared some firewood in the cave..." Jiang Lingyu thought to herself.
Then she took out her spare clothes from the space spirit weapon and put them on her body one by one. After a while, she became a big fat person, but after wearing so many clothes, her body was much warmer.
"Woo..."
There was a lone wolf howling in the rain, but Jiang Lingyu was not afraid of it. If it dared to enter the hole, she would not mind having an extra wolf skin.
In this way, this visitor from another world spent a not-so-warm night in the cave.
…………
Snowy.
The man-made ski resort in the northern suburbs of Beijing is very lively with many tourists coming here to ski.
"I go first……"
What Lin Fei and Zhou Yue, who were bickering, didn't expect was that Wang Xiaoru, who was standing diagonally behind them silently and wearing a red ski suit, started first.
At this time, she put on her rented windproof polarized goggles, touched the ground with a snow pole, and slid out like the wind, leaving only a fiery red afterimage and a little lingering fragrance.
wind.
"Xiao Ru!!"
Not to mention Zhou Yue, even Lin Fei did not expect that Wang Xiaoru would suddenly slide off the ramp. They were both shocked by Wang Xiaoru's sudden move and thought she had lost her balance and slipped down.
Lin Fei instantly activated his telekinetic powers. If Wang Xiaoru lost his balance and fell, he could immediately pull him up.
However, something happened soon that stunned Lin Fei and Zhou Yue. Wang Xiaoru, wearing a fiery red ski suit, quickly ignited the ski slope in front of him like a flame traveling at high speed.
Whether she is turning or flying, she handles it perfectly and gracefully, not inferior to the staff at the ski resort, coupled with her graceful figure and exquisite undulating curves.
For a moment, many people around the ski slope stopped what they were doing and cast their astonished gazes at Wang Xiaoru without hesitation.
"Xiaoru, she..." Zhou Yue stood on the snow slope, looking at Wang Xiaoru who was walking away and the beautiful arcs she had drawn on the snow, her mouth slightly opened in surprise.
When she thought that Wang Xiaoru had hidden so much, and that she had confidently wanted to teach Wang Xiaoru how to ski just now, Zhou Yue muttered to herself, "Now I am just a master of a skill."
However, Zhou Yue's blood was immediately ignited by the red phantom outlined by Wang Xiaoru on the hillside. She quickly put on her ski gloves, held her snow pole and pushed it hard on the ground, wanting to follow Wang Xiaoru's footsteps.
Go away from the dust.
However, before Zhou Yue could slide away from her place, Lin Fei, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her arm first.
"Huh?" Being dragged by Lin Fei like this, Zhou Yue looked at him with a puzzled face.
"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to teach me how to ski? Why did you have to sneak away first?" Lin Fei asked.
"Haha, I'm sorry, seeing Xiaoru having so much fun, I forgot about it for a moment..." Zhou Yue said with a smile.
"You... forget it, go and play! I'll figure it out myself," Lin Fei said.
"No! Let me teach you." Zhou Yue said, and then began to teach Lin Fei some basic skiing skills.
"Huh... why haven't you two started yet?" Just when Lin Fei had almost mastered the basic skills of skiing, a familiar fragrant wind suddenly blew from behind them.
It turned out that Wang Xiaoru, who had slid all the way to the bottom of the valley, had already taken the cable car and returned to the snowfield where she started from.
Perhaps because he had just experienced a strenuous exercise, Wang Xiaoru's chest kept rising and falling slightly.
Her pretty snow-white face was slightly flushed pink by the cold wind, and her red lips were breathing lightly.
"Xiaoru, when did you learn to ski?" Zhou Yue asked curiously.
"I learned it when my family and I traveled abroad a few years ago." Wang Xiaoru smiled and adjusted the ski glasses on her forehead as she spoke.
"I see. By the way, Xiaoru, now that you have finished skating a lap, what do you think of the ski trail here? It's not bad!"
"The ski trails here are very good, the snow is thick and the quality is good. I took a quick look and found that the site is very large, which is perfect for skiing."
"According to my friend, this ski resort was recently opened and put into use. It can be said to be the largest man-made ski resort near Beijing.
In fact, there is a mountain-circling track on the other side of the mountain, which was specially built for holding ski competitions and is only open to professional athletes and senior ski enthusiasts.
I see that your skiing skills are so good, Xiaoru, how about we go over there and give it a try later?"
"Is it a professional track? Will it be dangerous there? Can we go there with skills like ours?" Wang Xiaoru was obviously interested when she heard that there was a mountain track, but she was still a little worried.
"Don't worry about this. I just checked online and it said it was a professional track. In fact, the slope is slightly steeper. It is much safer than the wild mountains and wild snow seen on TV."
Zhou Yue tried hard to persuade Wang Xiaoru, and she was already a little impatient to try it.
"Okay then! Let's all go over and have a look later. By the way, Lin Fei, how are you doing with your skiing?" Wang Xiaoru nodded in agreement, then turned around and asked about Lin Fei's progress in skiing.
"It's almost done, I'll give it a try now." Lin Fei said, using his ski pole to hit the ground a little, and slid off the slope.
"Lin Fei is skating well!" Wang Xiaoru praised Lin Fei as he looked at him walking away.
"He has good skills, and he can fly. He is not afraid of falling at all." Zhou Yue said sourly when she saw that Lin Fei had mastered it so quickly.
You know, when she was learning to ski when she was a child, she fell several times.
"Let's go too!" Wang Xiaoru said, and then the two of them slid off the ramp one after another.
…………
The happy weekend is coming to an end soon, a new day and a new beginning.
In the early morning, after having breakfast, Lin Fei put on his training clothes, put on a mask and hat, and used his space teleportation ability to go to the forging city in the spiritual world.
Today was originally the day when the auction of spiritual weapons in the Forging City started, but for some unknown reason, the auction of spiritual weapons was postponed for one day. The participants who came from all over the place were very confused.
"I'm sorry, the city lord's palace issued a notice the day before yesterday, and the spiritual weapon auction has been postponed for one day." The waiter at the auction venue explained to Lin Fei.
"Oh." Lin Fei nodded, without asking any further questions, turned around and left the auction house, which covers an area of thousands of square meters.
"Hey, this trip was in vain. I got up early on purpose today! Forget it... I'm going home to catch up on my sleep."
Lin Fei, who came out of the auction house, had just walked out of the gate when he was stopped by a little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who suddenly appeared. She was dressed simply and plainly, and was thin.
"Hello, boss, do you need a spiritual plant?" The little girl looked around and asked cautiously. She knew that the people who could enter and leave the auction house were rich people.
The way this little girl was selling things reminded Lin Fei of the "scalpers" selling tickets on Blue Star. He was stunned immediately, and then asked with some surprise, "Do you have a spiritual plant in your hand?"
"I don't have one, but I know where there are spiritual plants, if you need them..."
Although Lin Fei had some suspicions that the little girl in front of him might be lying to him, he happened to be idle right now, so he smiled and said, "I need it, but how do you prove that what you said is true?"
"My father told me about that place. He wouldn't lie to me..." the little girl said firmly.
"Okay!" Seeing the little girl's serious look, Lin Fei nodded and believed her words.
At this time, the little girl added, "Although I have never been to that place, I know the way and can take you there. If I lie to you, you can deal with me at any time."
"Oh!" Lin Fei couldn't help but glance at the little girl, but he didn't expect that she would use him as a bargaining chip.
Then, he asked calmly, "What do you want?"
"I need money, and I also want to find my father. He went to that place for a day and a night and didn't come back. Based on my father's experience, it's impossible for him to go for such a long time. He must have encountered some accident." The little girl bit her lip and said.
.
This is quite legal and reasonable... Lin Fei nodded and said, "Okay, how much do you want."
"Eight... ten gold coins!" The little girl gritted her teeth. The eight gold coins she was planning to export turned into ten gold coins. Then she looked at Lin Fei with some anxiety.
In the past, she wouldn't have been so open-minded. I don't know if it was because of the presence of spiritual plants there, but that place was becoming more and more dangerous. Going there was no joke, and she had to take certain risks.
Moreover, the place where the spiritual plant is located is relatively deep. If the family did not really need money urgently, her father would not be in a hurry to find a buyer these days and think about picking the spiritual plant back.
Lin Fei thought the little girl would ask a high price, but he didn't expect it was only 10 gold coins. This number made him slightly stunned.
The little girl thought that the other party thought it was too expensive, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She hesitated and said, "Otherwise, eight gold coins would be fine..."
"Just 10 coins! If you take me to that place before noon, I can give you a little more." Lin Fei waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
There was a hint of astonishment on the little girl's face, and then she said in surprise, "No problem, I know a shortcut, and I can definitely get there before noon."
"Okay, let's go now?" Lin Fei said.
"Yes." The little girl nodded and immediately set off with Lin Fei.
"My name is Lin Fei, what's your name?" Lin Fei asked the little girl who was leading the way.
"My name is Hua Xiaolu." Because she found a buyer, Hua Xiaolu was in a good mood and jumped up and down as she walked.
…………
After leaving the Forging City and walking along the road outside the city for a while, Hua Xiaolu took Lin Fei and turned into a nearby path. After walking for a short time, the two of them went up the mountain.
Because this mountain is relatively close to the Forging City, in order to ensure safety, it was previously cleaned up by the city guards, and many strange beasts were killed at that time.
Only a few years later, there were more and more animals in the mountains, and traces of strange beasts occasionally appeared.
The surrounding trees are tall and lush, and there are many dead branches and leaves piled on the ground. There are not many traces of human activities. It seems that the nearby residents do not go into the mountains often recently.
However, Lin Fei had seen a lot of primeval forests. Compared with it, the environment of this mountain was much different, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Be careful, there are many venomous snakes and venomous insects in this mountain." Hua Xiaolu walked in front, waving the hatchet she carried with her to chop the bushes and thorns on both sides, and soon cleared a path for people to pass.
"Just pay attention to yourself." Lin Fei said calmly.
"Why didn't this person listen to my advice?" Hua Xiaolu frowned and sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything more, just distractedly paying attention to the situation on Lin Fei's side.
The two walked for more than an hour without encountering any accidents. Hua Xiaolu cleverly avoided some potentially dangerous places.
At this time, Hua Xiaolu stopped for a rest, took a sip of water, pointed to the right, and said, "Let's pass here later. My father took me through it before.
Although the road is a bit difficult to walk, the distance is much shorter, and we will definitely reach our destination before noon."
"Yeah." Lin Fei nodded, sat down on the stone next to him, and said, "Let's take a rest first!"
Hua Xiaolu sat down on another stone, took out something that looked like dried meat, and asked, "Do you want it?"
"I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself!" Lin Fei shook his head.
Hua Xiaolu didn't force it and started eating by herself, while secretly looking at the buyer with some curiosity.
She was suddenly shocked when she discovered that Lin Fei didn't look tired at all during this walk. He didn't sweat or pant, just like he was taking a walk.
"Is this person a practitioner?" Hua Xiaolu secretly guessed in her heart.
"It's a little hot here!" The wind in the forest suddenly stopped. Lin Fei thought for a while and took off the bamboo hat that covered his face.
