When Xia Han and Fiona climbed over the last snow peak, the moonlight shone endlessly in front of their eyes, and they could see sparse frost grass standing on the snowy field that glowed white.
It was already night at this time, and the wind was very cold. Occasionally, we could see a few old dead trees with bare branches, standing sadly like ghosts.
"It's so cold..."
The temperature on the mountain seemed to be colder than in the mountain, and Xia Han couldn't help but shiver.
Fiona stretched out her hand to add some warmth to the barrier. She looked down at Xia Han with a gentle smile: "I have clothes, do you want them?"
"No, this is warm enough." Xia Han shook his head and refused.
The two walked forward for another ten minutes and saw a snow-white fortress blocking the road in the distance - Snow City.
"We can't go any further."
Fiona stopped Xia Han from moving forward. She looked at the flat snow in front of her and sighed: "What a magical technology. Even us elves can hardly make such a trap..."
Snow City, this military fortress blocks the only access to the Crystal Snow Gate, and the surrounding snow is its courtyard...or a trap. Decades ago, the first mage of mankind built it for Snow City
Created an invincible trap.
This trap is very simple. It takes Snow City as the center and turns all the snow with a radius of two kilometers into movable ice blocks. No matter how strong the team is when they enter, they must allocate the area according to Snow City's wishes - more
The scary thing is that these ice cubes will flip.
So far, no one has cracked the principle of how the First Mage creates traps, but the snow around Snow City is composed of exactly the same front and back sides, which can be flipped over in an instant to cover things on the ground underground. Decades ago, Suzaku Continent invaded Crystal Snow Mountain,
Xuecheng lured hundreds of thousands of people into a trap and then won with one flip.
Under this snow are countless corpses.
"It shouldn't matter?" Xia Han looked up and looked ahead: "It's just two people, they can't find it."
But Fiona shook her head firmly: "The white tiger is watching over there. There is no place to hide."
Her phoenix was monitoring Snow City from high altitude and had already discovered several white tigers patrolling.
"What about Bai Xue?" Xia Han was a little uneasy. The distance was too far. If Bai Xue had an accident, it would be difficult to catch up.
"She's fine, she's being locked up alone now." Fiona comforted, "My Phoenix will watch over her... Let's spend the night there first and talk about it tomorrow."
She pointed to a forest not far away. There were only large tree stumps that had been cut down. Although they didn't seem to have much shielding effect, they could provide some protection from the wind.
Thinking of the need to supplement their sleep, Xia Han agreed. They approached and found that these tree stumps were larger than they imagined. It would take several people to hug them. They couldn't imagine how many years the original owner had gone through.
"Is it possible that this is also a trap?"
Xia Han frowned, he was worried that the orcs deliberately created such a place to attract others to enter.
"It's possible." After looking around, Fiona was also a little worried, but she looked at the tree stump and a bright light flashed in her eyes: "Xia Han, do you still remember the child wearing a bearskin?"
Xia Han was stunned for a moment, then a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him.
"This is a good idea!" He smiled and urged Fiona to cast the spell.
The two people's solution was to hollow out the tree stump and create a tree hole inside to avoid the cold wind and surveillance... The whole thing was not difficult for Fiona. She quickly found a big tree stump and made the tree hole.
However, this tree hole is a bit small.
"It doesn't matter, I have a way." Fiona blinked, and then she became even younger than Li Mo, a five or six-year-old elf with pink makeup and jade: "Is this okay?"
Of course - Xia Han nodded, bent down and walked into the tree hole, and then Fiona also walked in.
It was much darker inside the cave without moonlight. Although they could not see the snowfield behind, the two of them got rid of the cold wind and could spend a warm night.
They did not cast lighting spells.
"Good night."
"Well, go to sleep quickly..."
Thinking of what they would face tomorrow, the two of them had no interest in chatting or having fun, so they yawned and fell asleep. Fiona raised the temperature in the tree hole, not worrying about freezing.
Perhaps unofficial historians will be full of fascinating speculations about this night, but this is just an extremely ordinary night. If there is anything worth mentioning, it is just that Xia Han hugged little Fiona as a pillow in his sleep.
Got up.
This incident made the elf princess depressed for a long time. She clearly wanted to be a mother, but why did she have to be held to sleep by Xia Han like a daughter?
The snow in the tree hole is melting quietly.
————
On the same night, in the Cangming Empire, another girl stayed awake all night.
She walked around the forest with bloodshot eyes, bringing back clouds of blood mist...until the cold morning fell.
This black-haired girl, Wu Jian, whom Xia Han was looking for, walked into a deep underground cave. There were torches lit one after another on the cliff, which did not make it difficult for her to see the road clearly.
"clove."
Hearing her rustling footsteps, the middle-aged mage who was casting spells deep in the cave turned around and asked, "Put the last batch of materials in?"
Wu Jian walked up to him, and the surrounding blood mist suddenly made a gurgling sound like running water, flowing into a huge blood pool.
"Well, okay..." The mage nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the blood pool boiling like hot water with a hint of joy: "Those monsters like blood, and they like the blood of virgins the most...add another portion of yours."
The blood should be able to revive the monsters underground."
He looked at Wu Jian.
"Yes." Wu Jian took out the dagger from his body, lightly pricked his finger, and then dripped the blood into the blood pool.
Her bleeding stopped after less than thirty drops, and her head began to feel dizzy.
"What's wrong?" The mage noticed Wu Jian's abnormality and reached out to touch her forehead: "Is this disease coming again?... You should go and rest first. You don't have to work tomorrow."
"But, teacher..." Wu Jian was a little worried: "Can you deal with him alone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground shook violently.
"Blood...blood...is the taste of blood!" Immediately afterwards, a hoarse and angry roar came from the ground, and a strange black shadow rose from the ground and flew towards the blood pool.
"Idiot!" The middle-aged mage was furious. With a wave of his staff, the black shadow suddenly let out a scream of terror.
"Magic, soul magic...damn goblins!!"
It hit the wall of the cave and remained motionless.
"You go back and rest..." The mage turned around and smiled gently at Wu Jian: "This low-level monster like an ant, even if I feed him well, it is more than enough for me to deal with him by myself."
Wu Jian glanced at the black shadow on the cave wall and sighed: "I understand, teacher..."
