The further he walked in the direction led by Xiao Hei, the higher the elevation of the continuous peaks in front of him.
Legend has it that the Kunlun Mountain is 11,114 steps, two feet and three inches high, but when Nie Renyan and the others were really in the Kunlun Mountains at this time, they felt that the real main peak was far more than that high. The ice and snow belt at the top that is difficult to melt all year round makes people who are in it feel chilly. Nie Renyan and Ye Zhao had nothing to do with each other. After walking fast for a while, people with cultivation like Master and Shi Shi also needed to stomp and stomp their feet, not to mention Jiang Qi was a girl, but she kept wrapping her clothes and following behind everyone. , but did not complain.
Ye Zhaoyuguang, who was on the way, noticed their state and whispered to Nie Renyan, and the two of them changed back to their original state in the blink of an eye, but they shrank a lot and did not bring too much pressure to the master. .
"Go in the middle." Ye Zhao's dark golden eyes were very conspicuous at this time. He glanced at Grandmaster and Jiang Qi and motioned them to walk between him and Nie Renyan. Even though they had shrunk a lot, they were still two people tall, and the warmth from the ancient beast's body and fluffy hair quickly warmed up the master.
As the fog gushed more and more, the fog in the space gradually became thicker and thinner, and the master's talisman formation quickly became unstoppable. The fog broke through the last layer of obstacles and dispersed to the crowd again.
At this time, it was thanks to Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan that they sandwiched the master, not only to help them resist the wind and cold, but also like two solid walls, to help them block the erosion of the fog, so that they can still be in a safe area for the time being.
Xiao Hei has been held in Jiang Qi's hands again, otherwise, with such a small stature, he is enveloped in mist and will be completely wiped out in a few seconds. However, it changed the way of leading the way quite spiritually, and it called twice to whichever side it wanted everyone to go.
Master Yuan still had some doubts in his heart about Xiao Hei leading the way. After all, the element of luck is too big, but after thinking about it, looking for a beast like Bai Ze who sees its head and does not see its tail, it is not only a matter of luck. There really is no other way. However, as they walked for a long time, the strange voices that appeared more and more frequently made the master gradually have some hope. Maybe this luck really hit the right one!
"What's this sound?" Nie Renyan moved his left shoulder while walking, and turned to look at his left half of his body, which was in constant contact with the thickening fog. Sure enough, the white hair with black stripes was already showing through. There were mottled bloodstains, and there were a few places where the flesh was slightly pulled and painful. But he just glanced lightly, then turned his head back, and continued to speak as if he didn't feel any discomfort: "Flap your wings... It sounds like a bird."
"You are not a bird, and you also have wings." Ye Zhao glanced over his back and spread the wings between the two. The white feathers were distinct and hidden above the master. The masters couldn't see it, but from Ye Zhao's point of view, they could see that blood was gradually seeping out from the white feathers. "However, there are indeed many birds gathered here in Kunlun Mountain, including Phoenix and Qingluan."
Their speed was still very fast, and they didn't slow down because of the injury. After all, the sooner they found Bai Ze, the better. And those creatures with full of spiritual energy fluttered their wings in a hurry, and at a speed faster than them, there was a slight sense of panic.
"Do you think that from the previous ones to the ones you've encountered now, they all seem to be heading in the same direction?" Ye Zhao listened carefully for a while, and couldn't help but said to Nie Renyan.
Nie Renyan moved his wings upwards, covering Ye Zhao's entire back, and said, "I didn't notice it just now, but when you said that, it's really—tsk, are you rushing to take refuge somewhere?"
"Is there a place to take refuge?" Ye Zhao thought it was a little incredible. If those wings were really like phoenix green luan, it means that the top beasts were all killed, and they couldn't resist the erosion of the fog. Can you find a place of refuge? !
"Meow—" Xiao Hei called out again, pointing in the same direction as those flapping wings.
Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan looked at each other with some doubts in their eyes, but they didn't stop and even accelerated their speed. Soon, the sound of flapping wings that had gone away was pulled in again, apparently Ye Zhao and the others were chasing after him. But this time, in addition to the sound of flapping wings, there was also a shrill scream, which sounded very painful.
…
The surrounding fog is getting thicker and thicker, and there is no difference between the water polo and the black smoke.
The masters who were sandwiched between Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan were inevitably injured in many places by the fog. Those wounds eroded into the skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and bones were soon visible. The master covered Jiang Qi behind him again, and placed a small magic circle around her and Xiao Hei. The smaller the magic circle, the more concentrated the power and the more fog that can be blocked.
Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan, as the two living barriers, naturally suffered the most injuries and the largest area. Although their healing ability was much faster than ordinary people, under the constant erosion of the thicker and thicker fog, most of their bodies were still damaged. Stained with blood. The large swathes of bright red contrasted with their pure white hair in stark contrast.
In the more and more shrill screams, the brows of the two became more and more tightly, and the wounds eroded by the fog on their bodies were piled up layer by layer, and the new skin was rotted away before it was born. The speed of healing Slower and slower, the blood seeped more and more, condensed into droplets of blood, and slid down the hair.
Even if Nie Renyan and Ye Zhao were covering the masters, the gray robes on their bodies were stained with large swaths of dark red. The old man Ziyuan's thin but ruddy face now looks more and more grayish yellow, and the wrinkles on his face seem to be deeper, as if he suddenly aged ten years. Although Shishi has a good physique, he is still a half-sized child after all. Several pieces of his clothes have been rotted by the fog, and a large piece of skin has been rubbed on his face.
Jiang Qi and Xiao Hei, who were best protected, were also a little embarrassed at this time. After all, the master's talisman could not block all the fog that approached her. Xiao Hei was scratched a few times by the fog, and the hair all over his body exploded, hissing. After shouting for a few times, he huddled in Jiang Qi's arms while gasping for breath. A girl in Jiang Qi's family was also injured in several places on her face and hands. The blood quickly seeped out and slid down her cheeks all the way to her chin, dyeing her collar and cuffs red. But he just avoided the wound with the back of his hand, wiped the blood, and continued to soothe Xiao Hei softly.
Xiao Hei was fondled by her, hissed again in one direction, and curled up again.
…
The severe pain was like stabbed and scratched on the bones with the blade of a knife. Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan were almost covered in blood. Every inch of skin and every blood vessel end was throbbing under the burning sensation of pain, but their speed remained the same. Did not slow down.
In addition to the flapping wings and the shrill screams, there were more strange sounds around—
The "swoosh" sound made by friction with the snow;
A snake-like "hissing" sound;
hoarse roars and screams;
Even the occasional muffled sound of something falling on the snow...
Everything seems to indicate that they are getting closer and closer to a certain destination, and there are more and more companions, but they are also injured more and more by the fog, and some small beasts are unable to resist.
If Master and the others were not protected by Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan, they would have lost their lives in this vast ice and snow and thick white fog, turning into a pool of blood and leaving no trace.
Ye Zhao thought of the base in an increasingly acute pain. They were all in such an embarrassing situation, not to mention the people in the base, those of the master's classmates... Luo Xiaochen, Xia Zhiming, Fang Siyuan, and wood... He could almost imagine There, the screams are endless, a panicked scene, full of despair and struggles in despair...
I don't know how many people will survive there, and what will those people look like...
"Ye Zhao—" Nie Renyan called out to him, and he sounded gentle and low-pitched without his usual lazy and lazy tone. "We seem to have reached a place."
Ye Zhao retracted his will that was wandering in the severe pain. Not far ahead, there seemed to be a place that was extraordinarily noisy. It sounded like dozens of different ancient beasts had gathered, and those who were walking with them also seemed to see There, after being stunned for a moment, he accelerated and swept forward.
Nie Renyan withdrew the black smoke wrapped around him, Ye Zhao put away the water polo, and the surrounding scenery came into view again. Through the vast white fog, the two of them looked a few steps ahead, where there was a steep cliff. , all the roads are broken here, and the noise is coming from under the cliff. It happened that two huge flying birds dragged their long tail feathers and covered their bodies with gorgeous green awns, skipped their side, crossed the cliff, and dived straight down.
"Let's go!" Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan looked at each other, their wings grabbed the master and they jumped straight off the cliff.
The original aura was getting weaker and weaker, and the master, who barely held his breath and did not faint, finally fainted completely after being stimulated by such a suicide. And Shitou and Jiang Qi, who had not spoken much, couldn't help screaming at this moment. With their ordinary eyesight, they couldn't see the scene under the cliff through the thick white fog, but Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan could—
Under their feet is a deep valley, and there are already quite a few strange beasts standing or lying in it, such as phoenixes, green luans, pit vipers, eagle birds, and even six dragons dancing with several heads... The scene of the strange beasts living in various places in Kunlun gathered together like a hodgepodge seems a bit strange, but the most strange thing is this valley.
Because, in the entire valley, including dozens of meters above it, there is no fog at all.
