Autumn turned to winter, the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and the birds and beasts disappeared in the mountains. Wei Shiqi hunted monsters all the way, and unknowingly came to the northernmost end of Jietian Ridge. A towering mountain peak stood in front of him, and he looked up.

, the mountain peaks are like giants holding up the sky, covered with ice and snow, with sparse vegetation, revealing a strange solemnity and solemnity.

There was not much time left, it was almost time to turn back! Wei Shiqi squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain, and suddenly heard a low crashing sound, submerged in the wind and snow, and it was fleeting. He listened carefully, and after a while, the same sound came.

The sound sounded again, this time it was more real, it was an iron pickaxe hitting the rock, coming from deep inside the mountain.

Could it be that someone was mining in the mountains? Wei Shiqi became curious and climbed up the mountain following the sound.

There is no path to follow in the barren mountains, and the rocks are covered with ice and snow, making them slippery. Even though Wei Shiqi's body is strong, it has no use in a place like this. He has no choice but to use an iron rod to press against the ice to grab a few sparse spots.

The bushes slowly climbed up the mountain like ants.

After bypassing an axe-cut cliff and arriving at the north side of the mountain, the wind and snow suddenly became violent, the sky and the earth turned upside down, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the faintly audible impact was drowned in the howling wind. He lost his way and his eyes were filled with tears.

If you can't open it, you can only move forward by feeling.

After climbing for a while, Wei Shiqi began to retreat. The weather was so bad that it was not an option to continue like this. Now he found a gentle slope, summoned up the air of Gentu to protect his whole body, and slid down the ice and snow. Every time he slipped out,

After a few feet, I used an iron rod to steady myself, took a breath, and continued sliding down.

"Ding!" Another deep sound came from not far away. Wei Shiqi's spirit was lifted. He climbed over in the wind and snow, and found a dark cave between the cliffs, with slightly hot steam coming out. He listened attentively,

Several more crashes were heard, and they were definitely coming from deep inside the cave.

Wei Shiqi picked up a piece of broken ice and gently threw it in. The ice seemed to have fallen into a smooth tunnel, sliding all the way down and disappearing into the darkness beyond his sight. Just as he was holding his breath and listening carefully, a dazzling light appeared.

The sword light shot out from the darkness, as fast as a spark, and shot towards his chest.

Wei Shiqi hurriedly raised the iron bar and smashed it hard. The flying sword and the iron bar collided with each other and fought with each other. The fire was scattered. Seeing that the iron bar was overwhelmed and cracked with fine lines like spider webs on the surface, he was shocked.

, the energy of Gentu surged out, and with a fierce force, he swept the flying sword aside.

In terms of strength, he is not inferior to his opponent, but the iron rod cannot withstand the sharp edge of the flying sword.

Wei Shiqi seemed to hear someone say "Eh", and he knew something was wrong. Just as he was about to roll down the mountain, another pale golden rope flew out of the darkness, as strong as a flying dragon, and tightly wrapped around his right leg.

He suddenly pulled it in. Wei Shiqi groaned, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, held the hole with an iron rod in his right hand, and hurriedly took out the boning knife with his left hand.

The flying sword fish jumped up and pierced his throat. It was fierce but not serious in killing intent. Wei Shiqi let out a long sigh and let it go. He waved the iron rod to block the flying sword. He lost his strength and was dragged into the hole by the rope.

The cave extended diagonally downwards, and the walls were unexpectedly smooth. Wei Shiqi was like sitting on a slide, his head and feet rushing into the darkness, flying swords pressing behind him step by step, forcing him not to slow down.

After turning a few corners, his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but fall into a huge hole. There was nothing all around him, and there was no place to lean on. He looked up and saw that the dark hole was moving away quickly. Looking down, the light was dazzling.

, two figures, a man and a woman, are cast on the stone wall, erratic.

The hard rock hit him head-on. Wei Shiqi tried his best to use the energy of Gen Earth to protect himself, but he still fell dizzy. His internal organs were shaken and half a mouthful of blood spurted out. He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, his eyes widened.

Looking carefully, I felt that the man and woman looked familiar. They seemed to be Qian Ju'an from the Pingyuan sect and Cao Yu from the Xuantong sect.

The rope loosened his legs and retracted into Cao Yu's sleeves like a snake. The flying sword circled around and returned to Qian Ju'an's hand. Wei Shiqi shook his head and saluted, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have seen Master Qian."

Uncle, Uncle Cao." As he spoke, he spurted out another mouthful of blood.

Cao Yu blinked and finally recognized him, and said with a smile: "I wonder who it is. It turns out to be a disciple of the Xiandu Sect's Winter Hunter. No wonder you can block Senior Brother Qian's flying sword! How did you find this place?

?”

Wei Shiqi smiled bitterly and said: "The disciple came to the mountain after chasing monsters. He was trapped by the wind and snow. He slipped all the way down and accidentally found the entrance of the cave. I didn't want to be dragged down by my uncle."

"Haha, it is indeed a coincidence."

Cao Yu smiled as brightly as a flower, with a talisman floating beside him, emitting a dazzling light. Qian Juan returned the sword to its sheath with a straight face, bent down to pick up the iron pickaxe at his feet, and his clothes were covered with dust. Wei Shiqi followed

Looking from where the two were standing, they could see pieces of black ore embedded in the pitted rocks, faintly flashing with purple brilliance.

Qian and Cao were obviously collecting ore. What kind of precious ore did they need to do it themselves? Wei Shiqi felt that his situation was a bit embarrassing, so he volunteered and said: "It turns out that the two uncles are mining here, and the disciple Xiu

Because I'm humble and have a lot of strength, I'd better let my disciples do this kind of menial work."
