Just as Meng Zirou had guessed, the white-faced fairy who had been silent took the piano-shaped jade pendant she handed over and immediately became excited. He pulled a slightly larger jade pendant from his neck and carefully placed the two pieces on it.
Together, an exquisite and sweet resonance sound was immediately emitted, like an affectionate call, gripping the heartstrings.
"It's her, it's really her!" Jinse stood in a daze. Although there was a mask on his face, no expression could be seen, but his trembling voice revealed the endless longing and helplessness in his heart. Without the slightest hesitation,
Jinse begged softly: "Third Protector, please take me to see her, please? Let's leave now!"
Everyone sent the five Meng Zirou to the Ruoshui River. Xianyin took Meng Zirou's hand and asked reluctantly: "Master, when will you come back this time?"
——"Take good care of Mo Zhu. We will definitely come back in ten days at most!"
——"But now that the Great Protector is not by your side, can you handle it with just the four of you, plus a blind man--plus the ten elders?"
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements a long time ago!" Meng Zirou comforted Xian Yin with a smile, then turned to say goodbye to Taoist Xuanmu: "Excuse me, Great Elder, please continue to help take care of Mo Zhu and the others. Zi Rou will say goodbye now!
"
Taoist Xuanmu smiled and nodded without saying much. His compassionate eyes were filled with love.
However, Jin Lie suddenly said: "Old Shi, have you really decided to leave?" He glared at Jin Se with vicious eyes. There was no trace of reluctance in his eyes, but instead there was traces of killing intent.
Jinse acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He stood tall and tall against the wind with his slender body. After a long while, he asked Meng Zirou: "Third Protector, should we leave? I have made Yaoqin wait for more than three hundred years."
I don’t want to keep her waiting any longer!”
"Okay, let's set off now!" Meng Zirou said goodbye to everyone, chasing the sun, Chi Lian, and Xiao Han, then turned around and pulled Jin Se, walked out of the barrier, and set foot on the road to the snow-capped mountains again.
From the Pingle Kingdom to the foot of the snow-capped mountains, it would probably take more than a day for a few people to walk against the wind. During this period, various assassinations and sneak attacks continued to fetter the progress of the four people. The ghost tribe, the plant tribe,
Shui Tribe ------ Almost all the races in the demon world participated. The scale and frequency were so large that Meng Zirou and the others were almost breathless, and they even almost had to be subdued by them several times. If
If not for the timely action of the three black figures who suddenly appeared, it would have been impossible for the five of them to reach the foot of the snow-capped mountains smoothly. Even so, it was already two days later when they faced the snow-capped peaks.
"Why don't we find a place to rest for a while before going up the mountain!" Looking at the few people breathing heavily, Meng Zirou felt worried in her heart. The continuous fighting made everyone exhausted and more or less injured, especially those who were more or less injured.
It's Jinse. Although he has extraordinary spiritual power and is protected by countless strings every time he defends the enemy, he is not seriously injured. However, his face is getting worse and worse. His slender body has been shaking slightly, and it seems that he is shaking at any time.
It's like they will collapse. I really don't know if my body like this can persist in climbing up the snow mountain.
"No!" Before Zhui Ri and Chi Lian could answer, Jin Se flatly refused. The tough tone made everyone startled. Meng Zirou was even a little embarrassed because she never expected that he would react like this.
However, Zhui Ri was the first to respond. He smiled broadly and persuaded as if he was trying to save himself from a siege: "Old Ten, let's take a rest first. After all, the snow mountain is right in front of us. It's not difficult to go up. It won't waste much time -----
-"
"No!" Jinse still refused bluntly, and there seemed to be great pain hidden in his plain tone. Without waiting for Zhui Ri to react, he groped towards the snow mountain. Meng Zirou looked at Zhui Ri helplessly.
After a while, he sighed secretly, glanced at Chi Lian, who was guarding him, and raised his head towards Jin Se. The latter immediately understood, ran over in a few steps, held his shaky body, and headed towards the depths of the snow-capped mountains.
.
The weather in the snowy mountain didn't seem to improve because of Jinse's return. On the contrary, it took only five people to climb halfway up the mountain. Snowflakes as big as a bowl began to fall overwhelmingly, burying everything in front of them. The world suddenly became
The solemn white color seems to be holding a solemn and miserable funeral.
There was no wind, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. In the cold air, the footsteps and heavy breathing of several people seemed particularly clear. The thick snow quickly covered the knees, and the biting cold bit each and every one of them crazily.
Personal will, even though Meng Zirou warmed everyone with the heat of the magic fire, still could not withstand the soul-destroying despair chill. Chi Lian and Xiaohan, who were not very advanced in cultivation, almost fell down several times and were almost too weak.
Unable to stand up, the others were panting heavily and reluctantly moving forward.
"Third Protector, look around, are there a lot of ice?" Jinse suddenly stopped, stood up straight nervously, panting rapidly, not knowing whether it was because of fatigue or fear, but her voice was slightly soft.
Tremble.
Meng Zirou looked around, and couldn't see anything except the flying snowflakes and thick snow. After thinking for a while, Meng Zirou suddenly understood why she had always felt that something was wrong. It was snowing so heavily, and it had been falling for such a long time.
During this time, there was actually no wind blowing, and the snowflakes just fell on the ground quietly, without melting or moving, as if they were covering up something.
Thinking of this, Meng Zirou suddenly activated her spiritual power and blew up a hurricane. The strong air flow stirred up the fluffy snow, which instantly floated into the distance, revealing the empty ground. Countless ice flakes glowed with cold light, like clusters of daggers.
, stabbing straight into the sky. If you accidentally fall on it, it will cause fatal injuries.
"How could this happen?" Meng Zirou looked at the ground around him in shock. If Jin Se hadn't discovered all this vigilantly, the few of them would have been buried in this snowy mountain and ice sea sooner or later.
Jinse didn't answer, seemed to be listening to something, and suddenly said loudly: "Han Ji, since you are here, come out quickly!"
A burst of gloomy laughter sounded out of thin air, reaching the ears of the four people, like the cry of an innocent soul, making people feel heartbroken. A white figure slowly appeared in the snow, accompanied by frivolous words,
Slowly approaching the crowd: "Jinse, I didn't expect that your eyes became blind, but your ears became so good. How about it? I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. Do you miss me?"
"Han Ji! You finally showed up!" Chi Lian looked angrily at the charming woman in front of him, completely forgetting the disparity in status and cultivation between the two, and asked coldly: "They have assassinated and sneak attacked us three times along the way.
It must have been arranged by you, right? What do you want? Aren't you afraid that the Demon Lord will find out and punish you?"
——"Punish me for my crime? Haha, who do you think you are? You don't even think about it. With just a few of you, will the Demon Lord punish me?"
"You------" Chi Lian was speechless for a while, and the young face turned red. Meng Zirou took a step forward, looked at the proud-looking woman with disdain, and said coldly: "When the second lady comes here, I'm afraid...
Just follow the order of the Demon Lord! I don’t know what serious crime Zirou has committed. As for the Demon Lord and the second lady, they want to kill me to death?"
"Hehehehe!" Han Ji suddenly sneered, stroking her crystal hair out of habit, half-squinting her eyes seductively, and said nonchalantly: "A person who is about to die has to know so many things.
Well? Hand over the Earth Spirit and Jinse quickly, and I can let you die quickly. Otherwise, be careful, I will tear you into pieces."
"How dare you be so arrogant despite your defeated general!" Meng Zirou looked at her with disdain, summoned purple flames and attacked her. Unexpectedly, the flames gradually extinguished before they even got close to Han Ji's body, and even a wisp of it was lost.
Not even the green smoke was left. Meng Zirou looked at this scene in horror, subconsciously took a step back, vigilantly pulled out the red sword, and carefully guarded the Jinse beside her.
"Hahaha------" Han Ji finally couldn't help laughing: "Meng Zirou, don't forget, this is a snow mountain, and this is my Han Ji's world. And you think the ice all over the ground is...
Decoration? To tell you the truth, you have already entered the snowy ice soul formation I have set up. No flames can burn here, including your magic fire! I advise you to stop making unnecessary struggles and die obediently.
!”
As he spoke, the ice all over the place suddenly seemed to be alive. With bursts of bursting sounds, it quickly became taller and taller, and continued to shoot out sharp ice shards in all directions, stabbing everyone like blades. The thick ice
The snow also piled up on its own, turning into snow monsters one after another, and launched fierce attacks. The four people immediately rushed forward, and another fight began.
Countless strings appeared out of thin air in Jinse's hands, as if they were alive, and quickly pierced into the body of the snow monster, quickly tearing it into pieces. Zhui Ri, Chi Lian, and Xiao Han also revealed themselves
Using her weapon, she smashed the rising icicles desperately, hoping to reduce the attack of ice chips. Han Ji jumped into the snowy ice soul formation and fought with Meng Zirou.
In normal times, either Meng Zirou or Jin Se would be more than enough to deal with Han Ji. However, the fierce battles for several days consumed a lot of their spiritual energy, and the powerful attack of the Snowy Ice Soul Array made it difficult for them to concentrate on fighting the enemy.
Han Ji was at home in such an environment, and she used the two ice and snow blades with great skill. Moreover, the white figure blended perfectly with the surrounding environment, and many times it was not clear where she was hiding. The five of them were almost always in a passive situation.
, so within an hour, they showed their defeats one after another, and the situation was precarious.
"Witch, stop!" With a scream, three tall figures appeared again, and Meng Zirou's purple eyes showed the light of hope------
