The snow-capped mountains are made up of a whole continuous mountain range, and it would take them several days just to walk through them.
And the further you go inside, the lower the temperature.
"This day... is like being in the Arctic. No wonder there are bears."
Lin Tang, who had 100% pain sensitivity turned on, hugged his arm and said tremblingly.
Xigou: "No... I respect that you deliberately turned on 100% of your pain sense to feel that this is a snowy mountain, but can you use the energy to warm yourself up? Do you have to look so depressed?"
Lin Tang shook his head firmly: "No, you don't understand. If I don't shiver, how do I know that the temperature is extremely low, not just slightly cold? I think you don't understand how much we southerners who have never left the province crave snow..."
Xigou: "Ah? If you want to see snow, can't you just take a plane to the north in winter?"
At this point, Xigou discovered that all of his teammates from the South turned to look at him and raised their middle fingers.
Lao Ao: "I have no money, I rent out my house, I run away from my car, and that's all I have, understand?"
The next moment, the fox demon paused and said, "Although that's what I said... Everyone currently lives in Xigouju's house and doesn't have much to spend, but if you really want to make some money, it's easy for us."
Lao Bai: "Well... there are many newcomers who are willing to pay us to help them upgrade, and they also want to buy our materials and equipment. The quotes they gave me are not low, and the daily income can reach four figures."
Lin Tang: "Someone approached me, but Yaohu Ju said there was no need to make such a small amount of money. I originally thought Yaohu Ju was also a wealthy man, but when I saw him offline... he was dressed just as poorly as I am."
The fox demon coughed twice.
"I used to be quite rich, but... I got ripped off and had to pay back everything to my last club."
"Let's not talk about that. If you need money, you can take some work in the name of the team. Who doesn't need some money at home..."
Just as Xigou was about to say something, the fox looked at him and shook his head.
After years of tacit understanding, Xigou understood that Yaohu and the others would not accept his funding.
In the game, everyone works hard together, but in reality... no matter how rich Xigou is, it is not everyone's money.
Yaohu has been the captain for so many years, and he knows one thing very well... Once you are sponsored by someone, it will be difficult to stand up straight in front of this person in the future.
At the same time, it is likely to breed some bad ideas, such as... the recipient has malicious intent.
This is also the reason why many donors now take the initiative to hide the names of the recipients. It is a good thing in itself, so we should not let it lead to a bad result.
He can't break the harmonious atmosphere in the team.
Xigou... is just a reliable teammate with strong skills and a very enthusiastic friend in real life, but he cannot be everyone's financial sponsor.
Cheng Shaofeng watched from the side and nodded secretly.
'This is what a team should be like. The top team cannot change.'
The small hill just now had rugged terrain and no open space, making it unsuitable for establishing a branch base, so everyone continued to explore deeper into the snow-capped mountains.
They encountered various snowmen on the way, but they were easily dealt with by the top team who had already mastered their attack methods and defensive weaknesses.
The fox's ability to control the situation was fully demonstrated in the woods.
But unfortunately, after killing hundreds of snowmen, I still couldn't find the second snowman horn.
Basically, Cheng Shaofeng doesn't need to take action to spawn monsters here, Shadow Guard 2 can just follow suit and do nothing.
Cheng Shaofeng focused his main energy on Shadow Guard 1.
...
The central city is far away from Dali City, and the road conditions in the sky are also very bad. When the anchor aircraft faced a storm flow, it buried itself in the soil for a day and continued to fly only after sensing that the storm had passed.
Shadow Guard 1 and Bai Susu returned a day and a half later than expected.
Fortunately, the aircraft is still very reliable. As long as there is crystal energy, it can take them to the anchor tower of Dalicheng Airport.
At this time, Shadow Guard 1 and Bai Susu had already gotten off the aircraft.
Landed in Dali City.
“What a cool city!”
After landing, Cheng Shaofeng was generous in his praise.
This is a city growing on trees!
The huge trees are connected to form the shape of a city. Their thick green trunks meander in graceful curves, forming the roads of the city.
Branches and leaves are the natural houses of this city.
Cheng Shaofeng took a breath of the air and found it particularly sweet.
The next second, Cheng Shaofeng asked cautiously: "This sweet air... could it be vinyl chloride?"
Bai Susu said excitedly: "This is the fragrance of the mother tree's fruit! It can calm people's minds and soothe small animals. It is the specialty of our Dali City~"
"Come on, uncle. I'll take you to find grandma! She will definitely like the stones you brought."
Bai Susu held the basket of glowing stones that Cheng Shaofeng had chosen from the Feisha City warehouse in her arms and refused to let go. She also assigned a specific person to each stone.
From grandma to grandma to little Nini next door.
Standing at the airport in Dali City, Cheng Shaofeng sighed for a long time before following Bai Susu to find her grandma.
"Your city... is the same as where the elves live."
Bai Susu turned around, smiling: "But... I am a little beautiful elf duck~"
"climb!"
"snort!"
Dali City is not a flat structure, but a multi-layered space.
On the top layer, Cheng Shaofeng saw the grandma that Bai Susu had been talking about all the way.
At this time, grandma was standing in a small courtyard with messy flowers and plants. She had silver hair, wrinkles left by the vicissitudes of life, a hunched back, and a sandalwood cane. She was staring at the spirit tablet in front of her in a daze.
Inscribed on it in small letters:
The old send off the young, and hate the heaven for being blind.
The graves of the old add to the graves of the young, and the wine is filled with sorrow and love.
The north wind calls me as I send my grandchildren home, and the setting sun cries as I bury my bones in the yellow earth.
Life and death are common things. I just hope my grandson can rest in peace.
Vertical banner: Granddaughter Bai Susu will live forever.
Bai Susu: “?”
Cheng Shaofeng: “?”
Sensing someone coming into the yard, grandma slowly turned around with the help of her crutches. Her pair of exceptionally clear eyes, like those of a young person, were now filled with suppressed grief.
"You guys look for..."
Bang!
Grandma's walking stick fell from her hand and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The basket that Bai Susu had been holding in her hand also fell to the ground.
Grandma: "Susu? You're not dead?"
Bai Susu's face was filled with disbelief: "Grandma, should I... die?"
Cheng Shaofeng: “6!”
After they sat down and talked for a long time, they finally figured out what went wrong.
After everyone flew to the central city to participate in this so-called competition, when no one showed up, the person in charge there held a fake award ceremony, found a few people to receive the awards, and then announced that the competition had ended perfectly.
When people in major cities realized that the people they sent over did not come back, and asked them... they said regretfully that there are unexpected events in life, and misfortunes can come and go at any time, and your player accidentally died.
There was no internet communication between the major cities, so people had to walk over and talk face to face, making it difficult to exchange information. In this way, they covered up the fact that everyone had died in the Netherworld.
Bai Susu's grandmother got the news after asking around. She was heartbroken and made a spirit tablet for Bai Susu, missing her every day.
After understanding the whole story and knowing that it was Cheng Shaofeng who saved her granddaughter, grandma held Cheng Shaofeng's hand.
"Young man... On behalf of our forest ranger clan, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. If you need any help from me, please feel free to ask."
After getting her hand back, Grandma was so grateful to Cheng Shaofeng that she couldn't express it in words and held his hand tightly.
Bai Susu said proudly beside him: "Uncle, I forgot to tell you... My grandma is a fourth-level evolver of our forest ranger. There is nothing she can't do!"
"By the way, grandma, uncle also brought you a gift! You will definitely like this kind of glowing stone! I picked your favorite red color~"
Bai Susu pestered Grandma to deliver the gift.
Cheng Shaofeng withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew your grandma was a fourth-level person!"
From the moment he entered the door, the nano treasure-hunting robot began to vibrate wildly to warn him!
The energy in the old lady's body exceeded that of any creature he had ever seen!
Except for Hades.
Because his nanorobots couldn't get close to Hades' body and were burned to ashes.
This means... the energy of a small human form like the old lady has surpassed that of a third-order Hades monster that is as tall as a 5-story building.
So powerful that he couldn't even think of resisting.
It is said that ignorance is fearless. Looking at the old lady's condition, I'm afraid anyone outside would dare to kick her.
Those who truly knew the old lady's strength had no intention of taking action.
The old lady accepted the red stone and became even happier. It was obvious that neither the dragon nor the woman could resist such a shiny thing.
This stone is placed in the house and emits a reddish light, just like a night pearl.
In the eyes of Pu Pingheng of Feisha City, he was a useless person that no one wanted, but now he has become a good helper for Cheng Shaofeng to get closer to his grandmother.
"It's almost evening, Xiaofeng, why don't you stay for dinner? I'll have someone prepare some of our local specialties."
"It is better to obey than to be respectful."
In front of the fourth-level evolver, Cheng Shaofeng was much more polite.
Dinner party.
The glass ant meat that melts in your mouth, the juicy roasted lamb, the ice crystal tea eggs, the fruit of the mother tree of life...all kinds of delicacies that Cheng Shaofeng has never eaten before were served. They were simply delicious.
At the dinner party, Bai Susu's grandmother, mother and brother all came.
My grandmother's name is Bai Yue and my mother's name is Bai Guang. They are the two most powerful women in the family.
Cheng Shaofeng felt that Bai Susu's mother was also a master among the third-level evolvers, and her energy was even stronger than that of the Nether Demon Beast.
The prince's name is Bai Zhantang. He looks lazy but he is actually the best among the younger generation of forest rangers.
Cheng Shaofeng originally wanted to ask Bai Susu where her father had gone, but then he thought... Since Bai Susu didn't show up at such an important occasion as "coming back from the dead", I'm afraid...
So I didn't say anything more.
When it was almost over, the waiters brought cups of milky liquid and placed them in front of the five of them.
Grandma Bai Yue picked it up and said, "This is the most precious thing for our forest patrol clan. The blue bird has spirits, and its liquid is like crystal. This cup is the essence of the blue bird. Practitioners of any attributes can take it. It is absorbed without any burden. It is ten times stronger than crystal. Only the most distinguished guests can enjoy it."
When Cheng Shaofeng saw the cup, he knew... Coming to the Forest Patrol's hometown, the habitat of the gray bird, crystal liquid must be indispensable.
Although I really want to save it and return to the base to be absorbed by the main body, but... Everyone has raised their glasses, and saying this seems to make me sound miserable.
Cheng Shaofeng was too embarrassed to say anything and just drank it all in one gulp.
Suddenly, my whole body was filled with energy!
The three basic attributes of Shadow Guard 2 are increased by 1 point.
"A small cup can add 3 attribute points? If I drink a few big bowls, won't I be very powerful?"
It was the first time that Cheng Shaofeng saw the Shadow Guard being able to become stronger.
After putting down the cup, Grandma Bai Yue looked at Cheng Shaofeng who was surprised, and nodded with satisfaction:
"This crystal liquid is a tonic. After drinking it, the energy will be stored in the body. You need to practice for another night to fully absorb it. Xiaofeng, remember to practice well at night."
"Okay, thank you grandma."
Ama Bai Guang is a fair and tender young woman who looks to be in her 30s. She is well maintained and speaks in a gentle and pleasant voice, making people feel safe.
Bai Guang: "A Feng, I have arranged a place for you to stay. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, let Su Su take you around our Dali City. This place is very different from ordinary human cities~"
Bai Zhantang didn't communicate with Cheng Shaofeng all the time, but when he left, he bumped into Cheng Shaofeng's shoulder.
"Hey! Regarding my sister's matter... Thank you very much. Our family owes you a favor. If you have any purpose or needs... Tell me, don't bother my sister."
Cheng Shaofeng: “…”
Bai Zhantang left after saying this.
After the dinner, Bai Guang took Bai Susu away, and Grandma left Cheng Shaofeng behind.
"I can sense that... you have strength beyond that of an ordinary third-level evolver."
Cheng Shaofeng nodded in agreement.
"Then I also have a question... The competition in the central city this time is only open to people below the second level. Even if you have a secret technique that can temporarily control your abilities below the second level, you are at most a second-level evolver. How did you, a third-level evolver, enter the competition?"
"Oh, I felt something after I came out, and I got promoted."
"Hmm? You have such strong energy right after your promotion. It seems like you have the energy of two third-level extraordinary people superimposed together, and your system is not the nine inheritances of the Human Alliance... Based on my relationship with Cang Niao over the years, I can feel that your body... flows with pure attributeless crystal energy. You are a rare pure spiritual body."
Cheng Shaofeng was suddenly shocked. The two of them didn't even have physical contact, so how did the other party know that his crystal energy was attributeless
'No... there was one contact.'
He remembered that when Grandma Bai Yue thanked him, she held his hand tightly and would not let go. At that time, he thought she was excited, but at that time... the old lady had already seen through her.
Cheng Shaofeng narrowed his eyes.
"As expected... this guy gets smarter as he gets older."
He quietly found out his energy properties and energy intensity, and also learned that his inheritance did not come from the Human Alliance.
'But there is one thing... She seems unable to see that I am a separate soul and body, nor does she see that my body is a clone. In this respect... she is not as good as Hades.'
Hades just sat there, seeing everything about him at a glance, and his nanobots were completely unable to get close to him.
There is still a big gap between the two people's realms.
'The Hades is at least a fifth-order evolver...'
At this moment, looking at the wrinkled corners of Grandma Baiyue's eyes, the two big, crystal clear eyes like a girl's, as if they could see through all the disguises and lies, Cheng Shaofeng decided... to tell the truth.
"Yes, I am a pure spirit that can practice all systems. I came here specifically to learn the skills passed down by the Forest Ranger."
