There was silence in the huge cave, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
The scarlet circle in the center had been destroyed by the burning fire, leaving only a broken and fuzzy pattern.
Shi An looked around, passing indifferently over the charred corpse lying on the ground, and sighed regretfully.
… It's a pity that the cave he used to be was completely unrecognizable by these dirty blood.
The flame's remaining temperature has dissipated, and the temperature in the cave has gradually dropped.
Shi'an put his hand to his mouth and gasped, then took out the pink bunny glove belt from his pocket.
According to the information provided by the human just now, his treasure should be on the auction house, and he also told Shi'an all the settings and arrangements of the bureau in the auction house, and now he wants to get his treasure back. , It's easy.
Shi An stood still and thought for a while.
Which way do you get out of the mountain
One is the road from the time of arrival, from the tunnel to the southern gorge where the exchange meeting is held.
There is another road that he took the last time he came to Aiwen District, through the ruins of the abyss crack, into the outside Aiwen Snow Field.
When it comes to temperature, the first one is definitely better.
The last time I arrived at Ai Wenxue, it was already horribly cold. Now that the mountain has been closed for more than three months, Shi'an couldn't imagine how cold it was outside this time.
but…
If the previous mercenary is right, they have sent someone to block the entire canyon, and the number of people arranged outside is twenty times as many as in the cave, and there are other college students who may recognize him. Conflict, it's embarrassing to be seen...
And transportation is also a problem.
Shi An looked reluctantly in the direction of the second road.
Sure enough... I still have to experience the severe cold again.
He stepped over the corpse on the ground, climbed over the gravel with difficulty, and walked out of the cave following the route in his memory.
Soon, Shi An stood on the frozen ground of Iwen Snow Field.
The sky here is more gloomy than the southern gorge. The white snow is all over the sky, all sides are gray and white, and the edge is completely invisible. The air seems to be frozen, as if forgotten by the whole world, quiet and terrible.
Ah ah ah ah ah so cold! !
Shi An screamed in his heart.
He shuddered and shrank into the cotton-padded jacket, regretting that he had just made the move too hard—how could he burn the cotton-padded jacket on the mercenary together? At least take it off first, it's too wasteful.
Shi An's nose was red from the cold, and the warm white air he exhaled seemed to be frosted.
He walked two steps deep in the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow. Then, he closed his eyes, and a trace of magic power was drawn from his body, woven into a large net, leaning in all directions, making a silent call.
Finally, a huge familiar outline appeared on the white horizon not far away.
The tall skeleton horse's figure gradually became clear, and the heavy four hoofs hit the ground, splashing snow foam, and the faint blue flame was burning in the black hole's eye socket, looking towards Shi'an.
Very good, in this case, the means of transportation will be available.
Shi An reached out and broke a rib off the skeleton horse.
Okay, there are torches too.
Skeleton Horse: "..."
Devil: "..."
Black smoke: "..."
You really are the devil.
Shi An lit a torch, climbed onto the skeleton horse's back, and patted its head with his hands: "Just send me out of the mountain."
The skeleton horse uttered a neigh, slumped down suddenly, and the speed suddenly increased. If Shi'an didn't hug the skeleton horse's neck in time, he might be directly blown down by the swift cold wind.
Shi An steadied his figure and patted the skeleton horse under him with great relief:
"Wow, I didn't expect you to take my orders so seriously, so behaved."
Devil: "..."
In fact, it really wants to send you the evil star away.
The skeleton horse is very suitable for running in the snow. It is not afraid of cold, tired, or afraid of high gravel slopes. It is simply the most efficient means of transportation.
The scenery next to him retreated quickly, the cold wind roared, mixed with snowflakes, like a sharp blade of ice.
If Shi'an's torch wasn't the Dragon Flame, it would have been extinguished long ago.
Suddenly, the skeleton horse's pace suddenly slowed down.
It smashed the ground with its front hooves a little restlessly, and it slapped its nose, looking very restless.
Shi An was taken aback, raised his head from the curled up state, and looked not far away.
Eh? Human smell
A team of more than 20 mercenaries entered from the canyon.
"Why did the above suddenly ask us to support? Or from this ghost place? Is there something wrong in the cave?"
"I don't know, I can't get in touch anyway."
The man was taken aback: "But the people we arranged outside..."
"It's Mu Heng."
Another mercenary interrupted abruptly. He gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know what's going on, the news seems to have leaked out. This guy directly broke through the front of the southern gorge and wiped out most of our main force."
"Furthermore, according to the information given by our brother at the auction house, Mu Heng seems to be injured... still fatally fucking."
He spit, and cursed fiercely:
"Fuck, that monster."
The rest of the people were all surprised, a little unbelievable: "What?"
In this situation, they broke through frontally, even gained the upper hand, and wiped out most of their main force
-How can this be
The mercenary cracked a yellow tooth and smiled: "However, this is a great time for us."
"Take advantage of his illness to kill him, understand?"
He wiped the tip of his nose and continued: "The support from the administration has been dragged down by us. Now it means that Mu Heng went into the enemy camp alone with injuries. He wants to get rid of him completely, nothing more than now. Good opportunity... There are also additional staff on the southern canyon, and we are responsible for weaving forward from here, attacking on both sides."
His eyes were gloomy, and he slowly said, "This time, Mu Heng must die."
In the past, they didn't dare to confront this human being with the strongest ability head-on, but this time it was different.
Not only was Mu Heng injured, but he had also fought the front team.
This time might be their only chance.
At this moment, there were a few heavy footsteps ahead.
A huge skeleton horse slowly emerged from the blizzard ahead.
"alert!!"
The mercenary group poses on alert
They had heard that there was a very difficult undead species on the way into the mountain. In order to avoid it, they deliberately avoided that part of the road, but they did not expect to encounter it.
When the skeleton horse came close, all the mercenaries were stunned.
etc…
Why, there is a man sitting on the back of this undead species
what happened? ?
I saw a sternly wrapped human sitting on the back of a skeleton horse, pink rabbit fluffy earmuffs and scarves were particularly conspicuous in the vast snow, holding a backpack lit ribs, his Most of his face was hidden in the scarf, but his voice sounded very young.
Just listen to the other party's muffled voice:
"Hello, robbery."
Mercenary: "..."? ?
Ten minutes later, Shi An stood beside a scorched corpse.
Daxue was still quietly underground, a thick pile of cotton clothes piled up into a hill beside him.
Devil: "..."
Worthy of being a giant dragon, he is so skilled at killing people and arson.
Shi An found two clean-looking cotton clothes and put them on him, and then lit the remaining clothes with Dragon Flame.
The fire raged up in the snow, releasing warmth and dispelling the cold.
He sniffed and looked towards the exit of the canyon not far away.
As long as he advances for more than ten minutes in the direction he can, he will be able to leave Aven Snowfield. After going out from the snowfield, he can go to the auction house. The long-lost treasure is waiting for him in the underground warehouse of the auction house. Shi'an now knows the layout of the bureau in the auction house, and more importantly, based on the information provided by the mercenaries just now, Mu Heng is not in the auction house now.
The only person who has the ability to stop himself has left his post and wants to regain his treasure. There is no better time than now.
"..."
Shi settled down, turned his head slowly, and looked in the direction of when he came.
The wind and snow had covered the way home, and the snow was smooth, and there was no trace of the arrival at all, and it was impossible to see the scenery in the distance.
There was a rare hesitation in the young boy's dark eyes.
Outside the tunnel.
The blood was sprinkled on the snow, and the heat had not been extinguished by the severe cold.
The corpse kept his eyes open without gaze, with a hideous look, and his body still maintained the posture of offensive during his lifetime.
The broken limbs and meat were condensed in the white frost and snow, demonstrating the extremely cruel killing methods of the people who started them.
The snow in the sky fell quietly, and a layer of cold and clean white snow covered the debris on the ground.
There was dead silence in the valley.
No one is alive.
Inside the tunnel.
Mu Heng walked forward unhurriedly, his pace was still steady, but when he turned a corner, he still reached out to support the wall.
The dark cloak on his body has been soaked with blood. The enemy's blood and his own blood are mixed together and can't be distinguished. They are all frozen into black-red ice dregs by the low temperature of Ivan Snowfield, and the hard floor is formed into one piece.
The high-breasted silver hair was scattered in the battle, and several strands of hair were soaked in blood and draped over his shoulders.
The long sword condensed by magic in his hand was still bright and white, and he couldn't tell how many throats he had kissed or how much blood he had drunk.
Mu Heng's brows frowned slightly, and his pale blue eyes were half-squinted under his long silver eyelashes.
He let go of his hand holding the wall, his back straightened, and he continued to walk into the depths of the tunnel.
A few steps forward, his eyes widened immediately.
Mu Heng's pupils shrank suddenly.
The cave appeared in horror before his eyes, the scorched corpse, the molten rock, and the ground like a scorching fire.
Although the flame had been extinguished and disappeared, it was absolutely impossible for Mu Heng to admit this trace.
Dragon... has already been here.
He took a few steps forward slowly.
I saw a magic circle drawn by scarlet blood faintly remaining on the dirty black ground.
Mu Heng lowered his head, eyes deep and dark.
Ah, it seems that the living sacrifice has been completed.
No wonder he hasn't seen any students along the way.
That…
The boy who acted like a baby to him, pretended to be pitiful, just to eat one more ice cream...
The man staggered, if he wasn't holding it with a long sword, he would almost fall to the ground.
The heart that has been holding is suspended by the thin thread. At this moment, the thread is broken, but the heart can't fall down.
Mu Heng's arms trembled slightly because of the force, his knuckles gripped the hilt tightly, making a clucking sound.
He wanted to prop up his body, but the energy in his body was lost greatly.
Mu Heng lowered his head and glanced at his chest.
The magic power that had been blocking the wound since just now was losing, and the warm blood slowly soaked outwards, gradually moistening the clothes.
He knows how heavy his hand will be.
Through, fatal wounds.
Mu Heng blinked slowly, his vision slowly dimmed and blurred, as if the world was spinning.
Come in in this state...
… Sure enough, it's still too reluctant.
Before the light was swallowed by the darkness, he vaguely saw a vague figure appearing not far away.
who is it
But his sight seemed to be shrouded in a foggy gray curtain, and he couldn't see clearly through this curtain.
Mu Heng felt the darkness hit, and dragged him down into the abyss.
He lost the last trace of strength, and the long sword in his palm shattered into light spots and disappeared.
—Before he fell, a pair of hands in pink plush gloves stretched over and supported him.
