Wen Qiao stared at Ning Yuzhou's white hair from time to time.
Because pure white hair represents the pure blood in the Bingfeng clan, it is quite popular, but there are more mixed blood mixed with black hair, so when they dyed their hair, they specially left some black hair undyed.
Ning Yuzhou kept some black hair at the sideburns, mixed with the white hair, neatly tied up with a jade belt, without any extra decorations, but it made him elegant and reserved. It's so expensive that it doesn't look like an ordinary person.
After watching for a long time, Wen Qiao always felt a sense of trance.
"Ah, what are you looking at?" Ning Yuzhou looked at her with a smile.
Wen Qiao was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to recover, and said honestly: "Look at your hair."
"What's wrong?"
"It's pretty good-looking." Wen Qiao still had that frank look, and sincerely praised, "My husband looks good no matter what kind of hair color you have."
Ning Yuzhou smiled, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed her head, obviously very happy to be coaxed.
"Sister Aqiao, what about me? Do I look good too?" Shi Wuming rubbed over unwillingly to show weakness, and asked cheekily.
Wen Qiao hadn't answered yet, but Ning Yuzhou turned his head and smiled at him.
Shi Wuming's liver trembled instantly, and he laughed dryly, "I, I just asked casually, you don't need to talk to me!"
Not daring to go any further, Shi Wu ordered to find Xue Hengfeng who was leading the way, hooked him by the shoulders, and said like two good brothers, "I said you are a half-blood, how dare you run in front of the pure-blood Brother Xue Arrogant, where did you get the guts?"
Xue Hengfeng: "...Didn't I just watch him being exiled to the border?"
He also regrets it now, if he knew that there were some evil stars coming to Xueran, he would not dare to come if he was killed.
Well now, not only did the people fall into their hands, they were even bald, and they were also brought into the Snowy City... If his clansmen found out, he could already imagine his fate.
Shi Wuming patted him on the shoulder, "So, don't look down on others, and focus on brightening your eyes in the future."
Xue Hengfeng: ... Is he going to admit that he is a dog eye
"By the way, how long does it take from here to Snowland City?"
"It will take more than half a month." Xue Hengfeng didn't dare to play tricks, and answered honestly, "The environment in the Snow Region is not good, and the underground space is limited. Except for the places where the ice locusts inhabit, our ice phoenix clan can live There are actually not many places.”
So the so-called border is actually not far from Xueyu City.
Starting from the place where Yukino lived, they first passed through a long tunnel, followed by many naturally generated huge caves.
It is said to be a cave, but it can actually be called a huge underground world, which is more than a thousand feet high. Looking around, there are even forests, rivers, and mountains, one after another, which is quite magical.
The plants growing here are all fond of darkness and cold, and the most common ones are pure white and flawless snow trees.
The Xueshuang tree is cold-resistant and grows everywhere. Its white trunk and snow-white tidbits adorn this monotonous underground space.
When passing through a snow-shuang forest, Xue Hengfeng introduced to them, "Snow-shuang trees generally only bloom but do not bear fruit, but there are exceptions."
"What exception?" Wen Tutu asked curiously.
"If the Xueshuang tree can bear fruit, its fruit is called Xueshuangzi, which is a rare treasure. If our Bingfeng family can eat it, it can purify the blood power. The same is true for other races..."
At this time, Wen Qiao's voice sounded: "Is this the Xueshuangzi you are talking about?"
Xue Hengfeng suddenly turned his head to look over, and saw her stretch out her hand, in the palm of that white and delicate heart, lay a diamond-shaped fruit as big as a baby's fist quietly, exuding extremely cold air, like a work of art.
Xue Hengfeng was startled immediately, and asked stammeringly, "You, where did you get it?"
Wen Qiao pointed to a Xueshuang tree not far away, "I picked it from here."
Xue Hengfeng was silent for a moment.
Others gathered around to look at the Xueshuangzi in Wenqiao's hand. Little Phoenix was squatting on her shoulder, poking his head out to take a bite, but Ning Yuzhou reached out and grabbed it by the neck.
"Chirp~" Little Phoenix tilted his head to look at him.
Ning Yuzhou said: "This is an ice-type spiritual fruit, it's not suitable for you."
Little Phoenix chirped obediently, and didn't try to take another bite.
Wen Tutu and Shi Wuming took it one after another to check it out, and the icy air in their hands quickly formed a layer of frost on their palms, which could only be separated with spiritual power. This Xueshuangzi seemed to be just a spiritual fruit condensed by cold air, but when she probed into it, she could feel the pure power inside, and that kind of power could even cause the blood in her body to have the illusion of boiling.
Ning Yuzhou said with certainty: "Xue Shuangzi can purify the blood power of all living beings, right?"
Xue Hengfeng stared at it with straight eyes, and nodded silently. With that eager look, everyone knew that he was very eager for this thing.
Under his gaze, Wen Qiao threw it to Ning Jichen without hesitation, "Father, I'll study it for you."
Ning Jichen responded with a smile, ever since he started learning alchemy from his son, whenever his daughter-in-law found something good, she would give it to him.
Xue Hengfeng stared at Ning Jichen, wanting to snatch it, but he didn't dare, several evil stars were staring at him, how dare he offend? Although Ning Jichen is the weakest, Xue Hengfeng thinks he can defeat him, but who will let him have such a powerful son and daughter-in-law
Knowing that there is Xueshuangzi here, they walked around happily.
It's a pity that there seems to be nothing else except the one picked by Wen Qiao.
Xue Hengfeng said enviously: "The Xueshuang tree is extremely difficult to bear fruit. Every time I find one, it is great luck..." Speaking of this, he glanced at Wenqiao enviously, thinking that this person's luck is really good.
He obviously passed by here before, why didn't he meet him
It can only prove that when he passed by before, the Xueshuang tree hadn't yet produced fruit, but it happened to bear fruit when they passed by, and Wen Qiao took the lead.
Shi Wuming said with a smile: "Sister Aqiao's luck has always been good."
Wen Tutu nodded, "If it wasn't for being dragged down by you, my sister's luck would be even better."
"Oh, brother Wen, how can you bring up such a thing again? My luck is just a little bad, you can't look at me with strange eyes..."
While speaking, a rustling sound resounded in the snowy frost forest.
Everyone immediately became vigilant.
Xue Hengfeng said with great experience: "There are ice locusts, be careful—"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a demon insect with a whole body like ice appearing from the forest. Its body was like a snow python, and it was moving quickly through the forest. tooth.
The ice locusts rushed towards them, carrying a terrible frosty air.
Xue Hengfeng showed horror. The ice locust is too big and powerful, and he doesn't know when it was ambushed here. Suddenly, he understood that the ice locust was guarding the snow and frost all the time.
Little Phoenix jumped up excitedly, and was about to spit out a mouthful of Phoenix Spirit Fire, but was stopped by Wen Qiao.
She summoned the Sun Bow, condensed the spirit arrows and shot them away.
With a sound of "ding", the spiritual arrow pierced the ice locust's tail, nailing it to the ground. The ice locust's body struggled violently, and it directly cut off its tail to survive, and continued to pounce on it.
Wen Qiao shot out the arrow again, and the sound of ding ding ding sounded, the body of the ice locust was full of spiritual arrows, and it was broken into several pieces during its struggle, but it was still able to continue to pounce.
"The vitality is really strong!" Shi Wuming was speechless.
Xue Hengfeng said solemnly: "As long as the ice locust's head is still there, no matter how many pieces of its body are broken, it will not die. The broken body can even stick back automatically, and it will not be affected."
Wen Qiao came to a sudden, once again condensed the spiritual arrows, specifically attacking the head of the ice locust.
However, the ice locust also knew the weakness of its head, so it flexibly avoided the spirit arrow, and even waited for the opportunity to bite towards Xue Hengfeng.
Ice locusts are ice-type demon insects, and the cold Ice Phoenix people are delicious food for them. Although Wenqiao and the others have made disguises, for the ice locusts who only rely on breath perception, they can distinguish between these people in an instant Among them, which one is the most tempting for it, attack without hesitation.
Xue Hengfeng dodged in a panic, and a cold ice sword appeared in his hand. The ice sword knocked away the head bitten by the ice locust with a bang, but did not do any harm to it.
The ice locust had obviously identified Xue Hengfeng and chased him relentlessly.
Wen Qiao stood aside and watched, and decided to watch the battle between the Bingfeng tribe and the Binglocust, so as to analyze the strength and fighting style of the two.
Xue Hengfeng fought extremely hard. He was evenly matched with this ice locust, but the ice locust was obviously stronger than him in defense. The ice locust slapped him with its tail, knocked him into the air, hit the snow tree, and sprayed A mouthful of blood.
The smell of blood stimulated the ice locust, making that ice locust even more excited.
During this fight, the severed body of the ice locust has been condensed again, and it has become a complete ice locust again. Only the traces like ice cracks at the fracture prove that it was once broken, and it does not affect its mobility.
Seeing that Xue Hengfeng was about to be bitten by the ice locust, he screamed, "Help—"
"Brother Shi, you go!" Wen Tutu threw Shi Wuming over without saying a word.
Teacher Wuming: "..."
The mouthparts of the ice locust bit Shi Wuming's leg.
The mouthpart is like a flower bud that opens and closes. When it reaches the limit, it can swallow the whole person. At this time, it is swallowing Shi Wuming's leg, and then bites hard...
There was a click, as if something had collapsed.
Shi Wuming kicked hard and pulled his foot out.
Everyone looked over again, and the ice locust was struggling violently. In the wide-open mouthparts, the sharp teeth that were originally frightening were gone, and there were only bright holes left.
Even Xue Hengfeng couldn't help looking at Shi Wuming stupidly.
At this time, Wen Qiao leaped away, fisted with his right hand, and punched the ice locust's head.
With a bang, the ice locust's head burst like shattered ice, and pieces of shattered ice fell to the ground.
The whole head of the ice locust was shattered, and the rest of the body twitched for a while, and finally became silent, lying there quietly, like a popsicle, and it was not at all a demonic insect.
"The ice locust is much better than other monster insects." Wen Qiao said with satisfaction, at least after beating it to death, there was no such disgusting mucus and bloody flesh.
Xue Hengfeng looked at them as if watching a miracle.
I knew that this group of evil stars were very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, and the little phoenix and the imp in the Yuanhuang realm hadn't made a move yet. Although his liver was trembling and his legs were weak, he had to admit that the strong strength shown by this group of people gave Xue Hengfeng an inexplicable sense of security, even if he encountered ice locusts, he would not be afraid.
Just as he was thinking this, there was another rustling sound, as if there were countless crawling snakes walking through the forest.
Soon, everyone saw the group of ice locusts appearing from the snowy forest. There were big ones and small ones. The big ones were like the one just now, and the small ones were half an inch. When they were still, they looked like popsicle sticks, inconspicuous at all.
This time everyone joins the fight.
Knowing that the ice locust's weakness is in the head, they all attacked its head.
Wen Qiao shuttled through the swarm of ice locusts, weaving a net quickly in the forest with the vines, covering the ice locusts in a narrow space, fisted with golden cicada gloves, and punched the ice locusts. Hit the head.
In Wen Qiao's eyes, these ice locusts are like ice cubes, and it won't make you sick if you blow your head off, so it's quite easy to do.
Wen Tutu also carried a few python-like ice locusts, and hit their heads with a big hammer. Naturally, the ice locusts would not be so stupid as to move their heads towards them and avoid them frequently. In Xue Hengfeng's eyes, it's like Wen Tutu fiercely chasing ice locusts with a big hammer—it's really cruel.
Little Phoenix guarded Ning Yuzhou and Ning Jichen, and when he saw an ice locust approaching, he spewed out a mouthful of Phoenix Spiritual Fire.
When the ice locust met the phoenix fire, it was like solid ice meeting the scorching sun, and it quickly melted into a puddle of water, leaving no bones left.
The aura of the phoenix spirit fire naturally frightened the ice locusts to run away, but after a while, only the ice locusts beside them were left.
Xue Hengfeng secretly swallowed his saliva, looked at the little yellow bird singing happily on Ning Yuzhou's shoulder, Wen Qiao who punched the head of an ice locust, and Wen Tutu who was chasing the ice locust hammer, And Shi Wuming, who can break teeth even with ice locusts, once again realized the ferocity of this group of people.
It was brutal.
After fighting for less than half an hour, the ice locusts died or fled, and the forest quickly returned to calm.
Wen Qiao picked up several ice beans larger than soybeans at the place where the ice locust died, and asked Xue Hengfeng, "What are these?"
"It's the demon core of the ice locust, which is equivalent to the demon pill of a monster. It can be used for cultivation or medicine." Xue Hengfeng replied honestly.
After listening to it, Wen Qiao gave it to his father-in-law Ning Jichen to study it.
After dealing with the incoming ice locusts, they moved on.
This time Xue Hengfeng became more respectful, as if wishing to honor them as his ancestors.
Wen Qiao took the opportunity to ask: "Do you know how to ask Xu Gong?"
"I know." Xue Hengfeng looked at her in surprise, "Wenxu Palace is located in the Heaven Realm. I heard that this sect is very powerful, and the disciples of Wenxu Palace are very respected. But..." He looked at them, not knowing What is their relationship with Wenxu Gong, and they answered carefully, "Our Bingfeng clan has a bit of a conflict with Wenxu Gong..."
"What contradiction?" A group of people asked with interest.
"This happened many years ago, and I don't know what the inside story is. But I know that the female cultivator Xue Xiao fell in love with was a disciple of Wenxu Palace, and it is also because of this that the patriarch is so angry." Xue Hengfeng told them Talking about Xue Xiao's situation, "Xue Xiao's Bingfeng bloodline is very pure, and he was taken to the patriarch to raise him since he was a child. If there is no accident, Xue Xiao will be the next generation of patriarch."
Xue Xiao has been favored by the clan since he was a child, and the clan carefully cultivated him. Everyone in the clan hopes that he can choose a pure-blooded ice phoenix girl from the clan to form a Taoist partner, and then give birth to a powerful child.
However, Xue Xiao never thought that Xue Xiao would fall in love with the female cultivator outside, and resolutely refused to accept the marriage arrangement of the clan, and even left the Snow Realm with the female cultivator in private, almost dying back. The whole clan was furious and decided to punish Xue Xiao, as a warning to everyone else, so that in the future, there will be no outstanding clan members like Xue Xiao who will act recklessly like Xue Xiao.
The expressions of Wen Qiao and the others were beyond words.
Shi Wuming said: "I didn't expect your Bingfeng clan to arrange marriages, and only arrange marriages for pure-blooded ones. Not only can mixed-blooded ones not find a Taoist partner in the clan, but they also have to go outside to cheat and have children..."
What a shame.
Although Xue Hengfeng didn't think there was any problem—after all, this was the concept he had accepted all along, but facing their contemptuous eyes, he felt a little weak for no reason, "This, this is also to ensure the strength of the blood in the clan... Who doesn't want to be strong? If our Bingfeng clan is not strong, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend this place."
That's right.
In the cultivation world, the strong survive and the weak give way.
Although the environment in the Snow Realm is harsh, there are also treasures bred in the harsh environment, which are easy to be coveted by others. If the Bingfeng clan in the Snow Realm can't keep it, wouldn't they have to give it to others
This is also the way of survival of the Bingfeng clan, and outsiders have no right to comment.
