After entering Hulafu City, they purchased several sets of anti-cold medicines, plush coats and fluffy cloaks unique to the northern continent, and Li Xin and the two headed for the teleportation formation.
There is still snow in the sky, and the roofs of houses on the street and on both sides of the road are covered with fluffy and soft layers of snow. The pastries that have been eaten, the matcha is sprinkled with icing sugar.
Perhaps because of the cold, there was hardly any conversation among the pedestrians on the road, all of them wrapped up their clothes and hurried on the road, and there was only the rustling sound of footsteps stepping on the snow in the street.
Most of the shops on the roadside are the shops that make hot tea and broth. There are heaters in the shops, and there are many people sitting in each shop.
The first city in the northern continent stood quietly in the snow, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys, but the whole city maintained a strange seclusion and tranquility.
Li Xin changed into a northern-style cloak, her entire head was sunk in a circle of white fluffy fur, the clothes were thicker, and the person wrapped looked visually a size smaller.
As he approached the teleportation array, Xu Yan who was walking behind suddenly increased his speed, and walked over to pay first.
Li Xin still didn't respond to his move, and quietly stepped into the teleportation formation.
Xu Yanmei, who secretly looked at her expression, frowned slightly, and while standing beside her, he lowered his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something.
This is different from what Lin Guyi said...
With a flash of silver light, the temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees.
Li Xin stepped down from the teleportation formation, raised his head and sipped the next bottle of medicine, and an orange-red heat preservation buff floated on his body.
The cold-repellent medicine is a daily consumable in the Northern Continent. It is very cheap. There are two sets of copper coins, and one bottle lasts for six hours.
Because the north is covered with snow and ice, the entire continent appears clean and sparse, and on a sunny day, one can see far away.
As it happens, the weather in Correa is not bad today.
The orange sunset plated on the continuous snow peaks, making this cold pure white world have a little temperature, the air is the unique smell of empty and distant in the wilderness, mixed with cool snow.
The teleportation array was built at the foot of this snowy peak.
The peaks of the middle and highest peaks of these snow-capped peaks that can't be seen to an end are transpiring white smoke like clouds and mist, and in the middle of these floating and transpiring smoke, there is a huge, whole-body crystal clear in the distance. A city as white as ice and snow hangs high in the sky.
Heavenly City, Correa Land.
If the previous hulafu was cold in the snow, the suspended city in front of him was like the real capital of heaven.
Clean, lingering, gorgeous and distant.
Li Xin once read about the origin of Correa in the history of the four continents.
The book says that tens of millions of years ago, the current northern continent was actually still underground, and the "northern continent" at that time has now disappeared without a trace. And just above the snow peak in front of him, was once covered with the thickest and largest ice layer in the miracle world.
Like the name of the game, there is no shortage of miracles in miracles.
It is under this thickest and largest ice sheet that the most active, brightest and hottest ground fire on the land is bred.
The encounter of extreme cold and extreme heat is like the two poles of a magnet, each of which has accumulated strength, and finally collided violently one day.
The ice below immediately began to evaporate and melt.
But the area of the ice layer is really too large and thick, and the surrounding low-cold temperature is constantly replenishing it with energy, and the eruption of the ground fire finally failed to completely disintegrate this large ice layer.
After that eruption, the ground fire has since changed from being deeply buried to being constantly active. Over time, a strange situation has gradually formed here:
The ice sheet that was several thousand meters thick was swept up by the airflow from the ground fire, rushing higher and higher until it became a completely floating place.
The ice below evaporates in the high heat, the water vapor rises up, and condenses back to ice on the top.
So this piece of ice was suspended in the sky above the Earth Fire Mountains for such a long time, and then it was discovered by talented people who were happy to see the hunter. They were whimsical and successfully summoned people to carve a city on the top of this piece of ice. , and named after the "City in the Sky".
So in fact, the more you climb up the snowy peak and get closer to the city, the warmer the surrounding temperature becomes.
I have come here, and naturally I have to go to the main city in the north.
"Stay in the city for one night?" Li Xin tilted her head and asked.
Xu Yan had no objection, so the two walked towards the station not far away.
In the station outside the city of Correa, the vehicles are still divided into large and small, but the creatures that pull the carts have only one choice, which is a large humanoid animal with a gray color like a stone and a body like a stone.
This is also a species unique to Correa, known as the "stone man". It is naturally resistant to extreme freezing and heat, and is very strong.
Li Xin and the two got into a separate car, Xu Yan paid the money, and the car hood closed with a bang.
Before closing, the staff NPC reminded the two of them warmly with a smile on their faces: "Fast your seat belts, guests~"
I don't know what material the carriage is made of, it is translucent, airtight, the size of a small square, and equipped with a heating device.
Li Xin sat in the soft car cushion, raised her hand and took off the fluffy cloak, looked down, and found an elastic white strap beside the seat cushion with both ends under the seat.
She stared at the girdle for a moment, not moving it. Xu Yan obviously had no plans to attach this thing to him.
Two sturdy stone men pulled the vehicle and strode toward the mountain. It was already dark outside the window, and the faint flames ahead became more and more conspicuous.
In just a few minutes, the hard-working stone people pulled the car to the top of the snow peak.
The smoke and dust billowing toward him, in the carriage, Li Xin could clearly see that the scorching gas outside seemed to distort even the air.
The stone people were unaffected, dragging the frame and walking to the ground fire vent where the sparks were splashing in front of them. The closer the distance, the stronger the rumbling airflow.
The stone people stopped at a position a hundred meters away from the eruption, unfastened the pull chain on their bodies, stood one at a time, two wooden white eyes looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time raised the carriage, 3-2-1-swing !
The carriage was thrown out by them "whoosh".
Turn around.
Li Xin and Xu Yan, who did not follow the warm reminder to fasten their seat belts: "..."
The two people who were caught off guard immediately fell into a ball, and followed the carriage several times in a row.
Xu Yanren was tall and bulky, and successfully became the humanoid flesh pad below.
When he recovered slightly from the dizziness, he realized that he had directly grasped the slender girl in his arms with one hand.
Before he could react to the scene in front of him, the carriage rolled around again. Xu Yan quickly stretched out his other hand and grabbed the armrest on one side of the seat, and the two finally dragged themselves out of the state of falling into the front-loading washing machine.
The posture stabilized, Li Xin moved, her head rubbed against Xu Yan's chest, she didn't struggle, she just stayed in his arms, raised her face and raised her eyes to look at him.
Soft, warm, with a subtle, fresh heartbeat and pulsation of blood.
Xu Yan: "...!"
Xu Yan kicked the door of the carriage.
"Thank you." Li Xin said in a soft voice.
The two were so close to each other that when she spoke, Xu Yan could even detect the slight vibration on her slender neck.
The carriage was thrown above the ground fire by the stone man. It hung in the air for a few seconds, and the next moment, a hot and fierce airflow rushed up, slamming the carriage upwards like a cannonball.
The two people in the carriage fell into a state of dizziness at the same time. When they came back to their senses, the carriage had already entered a vast cloud of white smoke, and the speed of the ascent was relatively slow.
Before losing the ability to think, Xu Yan's only consciousness was to clasp the person in his arms tightly, and then the hand holding the armrest also gripped tightly.
After entering the cloud and mist, the carriage has automatically returned, and everything is stable, as if the previous mad dog's rambling driving was an illusion.
She finally understood why players in the north said in a hot post that "the drive to the main city is very exciting, especially cool".
After waiting for a while, Li Xin noticed that the arms on her body didn't seem to be loosening, so she struggled lightly.
As soon as she moved, Li Xin felt that the thick arm that encircled her stiffened, and then quickly released it along with her strength.
Li Xin propped herself up with her hands and sat up. This time, she just propped up against Xu Yan's abdomen, making him shrink back abruptly.
When Li Xin got up and sat back on the seat, Xu Yancai, who was lying on the ground, slowly got up and sat opposite her.
As the altitude rose, the clouds that were originally thick enough to completely obscure the vision gradually faded, revealing the clear blue sky in the dim light and the pure white snow-capped mountains that stretched thousands of miles below.
The white mist covered everything with a veil-like haze, making their beauty smudged with an illusory ethereal spirit.
The carriage landed firmly on the suspended ice layer, Li Xin opened the door and walked out, and immediately two stone men stepped forward and pulled the carriage away.
Only when you really came to the city, did you know the true meaning of "Corretia is a city built with ice and snow".
From the city gate to the street, to every house, it is as clear and cold as crystal, just like the city itself, so clean that there is almost no smoke.
It was very close to seven o'clock, so Li Xin and Xu Yan found a hotel at random and went offline.
The hotel room was warm, the bed and floor were covered with fluffy blankets, and heated.
The strange thing is that even in this kind of heating, there is no trace of melting on the cool and smooth icy walls of the house.
…
After dinner, Li Xin walked a few times in the garden downstairs.
The Xu family's area is quite large. In addition to a tree-lined garden, a large piece of grass, and a large pond at the back of the house.
Xu Yan took a step behind and walked with her.
Neither of them spoke, but the breaths of each other blended together without being abrupt.
"What kind of flower is that?" Li Xin suddenly asked, pointing to a wooden climbing frame full of falling petals.
"Rose." Xu Yan replied, his voice was naturally low and magnetic, and when he spoke in a slightly gentle tone like this, it was like flowing water flowing through a deep valley.
"What about the blue one?"
"Hydrangeas, also called Endless Summer."
"very beautiful."
"I'll put a pot of silver in your house."
…
At the window on the second floor, Xu Zhen stood there, looking at the two figures one after the other in the twilight, his eyes were very soft.
