The next morning, Chris packed up his tent and walked out of the igloo with dark circles under his eyes.
The sun is shining brightly, and it's a good day to start home.
Lina happened to come out from the opposite side, she smiled slightly, twisted her waist and returned to her home.
Chris felt that he should say goodbye to his friends before leaving, so he walked to Kate's igloo and knocked on the door.
"No, you're still here?" Kate's wailing voice came from inside the house, "Sister Lina, please let me go."
Chris said: "It's me."
"Ahem..." Kate coughed twice and said seriously, "Come in."
Chris opened the door and walked in, only to see Kate lying on the bed with a pale face. The bedside was in a mess, and the house was filled with the smell of offspring.
Chris frowned and couldn't help but cover his nose.
Damn it, I wouldn't have come if I had known earlier.
Kate asked in surprise: "Hey, why do you look like you haven't slept well? Is it because you are nostalgic for the Ice and Snow City and don't want to leave?"
Chris looked at him very resentfully, "It's not all your fault."
After a night of tossing, you are really awesome.
"As a good buddy, I'm leaving, why don't you see me off?" Chris asked.
"Oh, yes." Kate jumped off the edge of the bed, and then fell to the ground with a thud, "I'm sorry, brother, my legs are weak now and I can't walk."
Chris covered his face silently: "Forget it, you should have a good rest at home. If there is a chance in the future, I will come to see you."
"Really?" Kate suddenly looked surprised.
Chris said with absolute certainty: "Of course."
He was still thinking about sending people over in the future to open up a trade route to the Snowy Mountains.
Chris asked doubtfully: "Speaking of which, why weren't you selected to practice in the Snow Jade Ice Marrow Cave?"
Kate explained: "Only the first time you go there is the best effect. After entering the ice cave, there will be no obvious effect."
"Okay." Chris waved his hand, stood up and left, "Bye~"
Kate watched him go away, feeling a little absent-minded.
······
Chris came to the entrance of Ice and Snow City, where twenty young Snow Demons had gathered at this moment.
They were all in high spirits and their eyes were full of expectation.
An elderly snow demon man was at the front of the crowd and warned: "This is an opportunity that the tribe has fought hard for you. You must practice hard and don't waste it in vain. Do you understand?"
Twenty people shouted in unison: "Got it!"
Their voices are sonorous and powerful, touching the heart and soul.
"Okay, let's go!"
A group of twenty people left the city in a mighty manner, with Chris following at the back of the crowd.
They climbed over two mountains and were still walking forward, and happened to be on the same road with Chris.
More than three hours later, Chris followed the Snow Demon army to the front mountain. This was the place where he first came to the Snowy Mountains and defeated the Ice Toad.
Walking halfway up the mountain, a few snow demons identified the location and then started digging out the snow with their bare hands.
About seven or eight minutes later, they dug out a cave entrance that was buried in heavy snow.
The cave is about five meters high and two meters wide, and can accommodate three or four people walking side by side at the same time.
"I'll escort you here, and then I'm going home. Goodbye." Chris summoned the root and prepared to ride on it and leave.
"Master Chris, goodbye."
The young Snow Demons all know the contribution Chris has made, so they are particularly respectful to him.
What's more, that exquisite barbecue almost conquered the entire city.
This is the edge of the Snowy Mountains, and you can enter the grassland after climbing over this mountain.
By then, even if the leader of the Ice Werewolf clan comes chasing after him with two black magicians, Chris will be completely justified.
But judging from the current situation, it was Chris who was worrying too much, and they had no intention of retaliating against him.
At this moment, Chris suddenly felt that there seemed to be a voice calling him in the cave.
The voice was ethereal and unreal.
"Hey, have you heard any strange noises?" Chris did not leave immediately, but turned to the nearby Snow Demon and asked.
"No, I didn't hear anything."
"Me too."
Is it an illusion?
No, it should be the blue dragon worshiped by the four snow tribes.
Chris hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind.
Now that you're here, let's go and visit.
He put away the roots and said, "Let's go, I'll go into the cave with you."
"Ah?" The nearby Snow Demon panicked, "Except for us Snow Clan, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Snow Jade Ice Marrow Cave, otherwise they will be punished by the cruelest punishment from the Blue Ruilong."
Chris raised his head; "What if I say it's your Ruilong who wants to see me?"
"This...can't be possible?" The Snow Demons looked at each other, and they could all see the surprise in each other's eyes.
"You'll know if you try it. Don't worry, even if she wants to punish me, it's none of your business." With that said, Chris stepped towards the Snow Jade Ice Marrow Cave.
A cool breath hit my face, and the temperature in the cave dropped by dozens of degrees again.
The Snow Demons watched helplessly from outside, not daring to follow Chris in for fear that it would affect them.
They waited for a long time and found nothing unusual.
"It seems that it is just as Mr. Chris said, His Majesty Rui Long wants to see him."
"Come on, let's go in too, don't delay."
Twenty snow demons filed in.
Chris walked alone in front, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with many fist-sized shiny stones.
The entire cave spirals downward, probably hollowing out the inside of the mountain.
The ground is uneven, so it doesn't feel slippery when walking on it.
Chris deliberately slowed down and waited for the Snow Demons to catch up.
Half an hour later, the front suddenly became clear.
They came to a space that was about the same size as two football fields. The height of the dome was ten meters, and it was densely embedded with pearls, like stars.
The air exhaled from the mouth immediately turned into ice slag, and Chris estimated that the temperature here might be below minus 100 degrees.
"This is it. We will spend the next three years in this place." A snow demon found a comfortable place to sit down and adjusted his sitting position.
Chris noticed that there was a very small door at the end of this space.
The door is two meters high and about 80 centimeters wide. It seems to be reserved for human use. No tall Snow Tribe can pass through there.
Chris took a deep breath, walked over and pushed the door open.
What was behind the door was not a passage, nor a mysterious room as expected, but a cliff.
"Ah!" Chris screamed, and his body fell downwards.
Fortunately, his reaction was quick enough, and he immediately transformed into a dragon-like form, flapped his wings to stabilize his balance, and slowly landed on the ground.
In a small nest made of countless animal skins, a forty-meter-long blue dragon lay lazily inside.
