Expand the map. Their location is a resurrection point in the west of the Ice and Snow Imperial City. It is less than an hour away from the Imperial City. Going west, there is the pole glacier that completely separates the Ice and Snow City. Feng Xiao secretly measured the distance visually. Even at Xiaobai's current moving speed, it would take three hours to get there, and more than three hours from the edge to the center.

"Let's go, let's go to the Ice and Snow City first. There should be something to keep out the cold. Otherwise, the residents here won't be able to survive this temperature for too long, no matter how accustomed they are to the cold."

The temperature here is at least thirty degrees below zero. Even Chen Bing couldn't help but shiver. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be too cold to speak. After closing the map, Feng Xiao called out Xiao Bai, and then pulled Chen Bing up.

When a man other than his master touched him, Xiaobai instinctively wanted to get angry. Suddenly, a breath that he didn't dislike calmed him down. He let Chen Bing sit on its back and even turned his eyes to look at it before flying. He glanced.

The first time he walked against a tiger, Chen Bing's ice-like face did not waver at all. He just gritted his teeth slightly to resist the severe cold here. Although it was cold to the bone, he inexplicably liked this feeling.

At the same time, the palace hall of Ice and Snow Imperial City.

The magnificent hall is solemn. Several huge luminous pearls are inlaid on the jade pillars carved with detailed pictures and text on both sides. The ice crystal-like ground reflects the entire hall brightly, and the gorgeousness reveals a cold beauty. Two rows of civil and military ministers in thick leather suits lined up on both sides, facing the woman in the center of the hall with their heads bowed in awe.

On a luxurious chair that was dotted with bits of gold, a woman wearing a white velvet was sitting. On her head was an ice-crystal crown that symbolized the highest power in the city of ice and snow. Under the crown was a most beautiful face in the world. The face is as noble and cold as the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain. The snow-white skin is as white as ice and snow, reflected by the long ice-blue hair.

After a long time, the ice-blue eyes slowly opened, and the beautiful light made the entire hall seem to light up. It's just that her expression was too cold, so cold that it seemed as if all her emotions had been frozen, as if it were ice that would never melt for thousands of years.

Seeing that the cold and majestic Snow Queen finally reacted, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Then they only got four words:

"I don't allow it!"

"But Her Majesty the Queen, if the temperature continues to drop like this, our city..." An old minister stood up fearfully and faced her majestic gaze.

"Hmph!" The Snow Queen interrupted him with a cold snort: "The power of the blue dragon cannot be violated by humans. If you violate its power, you will be seeking a dead end."

"But Your Majesty the Queen, thousands of people have been living under this severe cold for three years and are suffering terribly. Countless people freeze to death every year. If things continue like this, there will be civil strife." How could the old minister not know that offending Qinglong could lead to the destruction of the country? But they have no way out.

The City of Ice and Snow is close to the Pole Glacier, with a cold climate and covered with ice and snow all year round. The people here have gradually become accustomed to the coldness here for tens of thousands of years. But for some reason three years ago, the extreme glacier where Qinglong slept suddenly became even colder, which also caused the temperature of the entire ice and snow city to plummet, even approaching the limit that these people who are accustomed to the cold can bear. What’s even more frightening is that the trend of falling temperatures continues. If this continues, the entire ice and snow city will be in dire straits.

"How could Gu ignore the disaster that Gu's people suffered? Gu has his own way. Don't forget Gu's original divine power." The Snow Queen's icy blue eyes glanced down.

The old minister was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed drastically, and he knelt down with a look of fear. The other ministers had the same reaction, and they knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty the Queen! You must not do it, you must not do it! The whole city can endure the cold, but it cannot be without you, Your Majesty!!" The faces of the ministers were full of horror, and they clearly knew what the Snow Queen said. meaning.

"No need to say any more!" The Snow Queen frowned slightly, and her cold voice added a hint of the emperor's coercion: "I'm determined, and I'm absolutely safe!"

How could I die before seeing that person!

"This..." The old minister suddenly raised his head and said in shock: "Could it be that Your Majesty has reached the realm of the Dharma God?"

"That's right!" The Ice and Snow Queen stood up, "In this way, although the divine power of Lonely will be completely dissipated, it will never have the power of life. You can rest assured and step back."

"Yes!" All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and the heaviness and worry on their faces were completely replaced by joy. If the Ice and Snow Queen used the method that only the emperor can use, then there is nothing to worry about.

Although doing that will dissipate all the divine power of the noble Snow Queen, but as long as we old bones are here, no one can even think of harming her in the slightest. But then again, how could anyone hurt the Snow Queen who is beautiful, noble, majestic, and great, respected and loved by all the people of the Ice and Snow City.

"This is the city of ice and snow? It really lives up to the name of ice and snow!" Looking at the city covered with snowflakes, Feng Xiao looked in admiration, staring at the pure beauty in front of him. This kind of pure white is absolutely impossible to appear in reality.

Without the luxury of Tianlong Imperial City, without the simplicity of Vulcan City, this city has obvious depression in its splendor and cleanliness. There are no buildings that are too tall or too conspicuous. Everywhere they go is empty. Occasionally, a few NPC pedestrians pass by, their whole bodies covered with thick clothes and their footsteps are hurried.

"...Three years ago, the temperature here began to drop sharply, and now it has dropped to a relatively terrifying level. If this continues, this place will no longer be suitable for human survival. In today's ice and snow city, people are panicked, and various rumors are flying everywhere. , prices are skyrocketing, and if it weren’t for the extreme glaciers separating us, I believe most people would have started to immigrate.”

The message that Xuanyuan Wan'er had received came through his mind. Feng Xiao said nothing and walked leisurely on the street.

No matter where I go, unusual things seem to happen. Just like Conan, the No. 1 Plague God of the 21st century, people die wherever he goes. He has begun to get used to it.

After wandering around in the cold wind for more than half an hour, he finally found his destination. Feng Xiao pondered for a moment and pulled Chen Bing in.

The commercial street here is not only depressed, but also all the shops are closed, which is completely the opposite extreme from the bustling scene in the Tianlong Imperial City. The moment you step into the door, a wave of heat hits your face, and the countless stoves in the store bake the entire space like warm spring.

Seeing someone coming in, the old man wrapped in a thick cotton jacket stuck his head out with difficulty and said listlessly: "There are very few people going out to shop recently. Well, what do you want? There are all kinds of cold-proof clothes here... Huh?"

The old man was surprised because the two people in front of him were wearing extremely thin clothes, which was unbelievable in the extremely cold city of ice and snow.

"Could it be that they are the same rare water magicians as the noble Ice and Snow Queen?" The old man couldn't help but think to himself, and looked at them with envy and respect.

Feng Xiao glanced at the various items in the store:

Cotton coat: defense +10, cold resistance +5%, movement speed -5, reaction -10, price 300 gold coins;

Exquisite cotton coat: defense +15, cold resistance +8%, movement speed -5, reaction -10, price 1000 gold coins;

Fox Fur Clothes: Defense +50, cold resistance +10%, movement speed -5, reaction -10, price 5000 gold coins;

Ice and snow feather coat: defense +50, cold resistance +15%, movement speed -2, reaction -5, price 20,000 gold coins;

"Why are these clothes to keep out the cold so expensive!" Feng Xiao frowned. A tattered cotton coat costs 300 gold coins, and the subsequent prices are even more outrageous. It is estimated that not many people in China can afford it... It is simply a black shop!

"There is nothing I can do about it. In such bad weather, these unsellable clothes are frequently out of stock. All the shops in the city have raised their prices. This year's prices have been raised to ten times what they were three years ago." The old man shook his head. A look of sighing on his face.

"Forget it, here are two ice and snow feather coats."

After the transaction was completed, the enthusiastic old man did not forget to remind: "You must go out less recently. I will wait until the noble Ice and Snow Queen comes up with a countermeasure after a while..."

The ice and snow feather coat is woven from the feathers of snowbirds. It is gorgeous but not heavy. When worn, it directly protects from the upper body to the soles of the feet. This kind of special clothing to keep out the cold can be superimposed with ordinary equipment attributes and just need to be worn directly outside.

Chen Bing put on the ice and snow feather clothes with a stiff face, and his unnatural expression finally softened.

"Let's go, nothing will get better here." Putting 5 dozen super healing herbs bought from the drugstore behind his back, Feng Xiao pulled Chen Bing onto Xiao Bai and sped away, aiming directly at the Pole Glacier.

The scenery along the way is all white, with a few scattered snowflakes occasionally falling from the sky. Xiao Bai, who was also dressed in snow-white, could only vaguely see a few criss-crossing purple-gray stripes under the light of the ice and snow. Only Feng Xiao, who was wearing dark equipment, looked particularly eye-catching.

The two people on the tiger's back did not speak, each thinking about their own thoughts.

A piece of thousand-year-old black ice can protect Rourou for half a year... not enough! My bottom line is, three yuan!

Although he is determined to travel across the continent within half a year to find someone who can use "Angel Tears", he also knows that determination does not mean success. Tianlong Continent is so big, not to mention whether that person exists is still unknown. But no matter what, Rourou must not allow any accidents.

The superimposed movement speed of Feng Xiao and Xiao Bai reached 150, and the gorgeous white shadow swept across the snow like the wind, leaving shallow footprints along the way.
