"You found them?" Lucy asked.

"Not really, it's just a gut feeling. Importantly, I also know on the map of the Thunderfire base that there are several passes leading to the Guò Twilight Mountains. Any one of them is easier and more spacious than here, and those sword demons have information, why don't they pick the avenue and take this line of heaven instead, it is really suspicious. One of the biggest possibilities is to find us and want to take advantage of the special environment here to kill us. Allen said.

Willik scratched his head and said, "Then are we going to follow?" ”

Alan frowned, and said, "The barren land is so stretched through the abyss of the dead stars, let's just go to the Guò Mountains from the outside, and then rush ahead of them, and wait for them to deliver it ourselves at the entrance of the barren land." ”

"That's a good idea." Lucy clapped her hands in approval.

The other two had no opinion, and immediately withdrew from the first-line Tianshan Pass and chose another way.

The wind howled in the mountains, causing Baziba to squint slightly. A sword demon stepped forward and said, "It's been three hours, and I haven't seen any changes. Baziba, are you sure someone is following us? ”

"I'm not sure, but it's always good to be careful. Although it wasted some time to let our people come back, we can make sure that nothing has gone wrong, and we can rest assured that we can hurry. The leader of the sword demon said in a deep voice.

A long and short whistling sound sounded in the mountains, and a sword demon from a ray of heaven appeared from a hidden place, dusting off the frost and snow on his body and returning.

The team departed and went deep into the mountains.

Three days later, the abyss of the dead stars was in sight.

It is adjacent to the Valley of the Ice Devil, a dangerous species of ape that lives in the Ice and Snow World of the Northlands. They are thin and have claws that are ice crystals. When tearing open the skin and flesh of the prey, the claw ends will inject cold gas, reducing the blood circulation of the prey, so that the prey can be carried raw. A single Ice Demon is not a big threat, but these dangerous species are social creatures. When it does, it's usually in the hundreds.

This valley is inhabited by several groups of Ice Demons, hence the name. Fortunately, it is the last month of winter, and it is also the coldest month. Even the Ice Demon was reluctant to haunt in this kind of weather, and when the Sword Demon team entered the valley, a huge valley was as quiet as a ghost domain.

Soon the team came to the Abyss of the Dead Stars, this abyss is wide in the east and narrow in the west, and it is a large crack that leads directly to the center of the earth, with a total length of nearly twenty kilometers from east to west. The fissure closed and disappeared in the western ice field, and the part leading from the Ice Demon Valley to Guò was the widest section of the Abyss of the Dead Stars. Connecting the cliffs on both sides is a trestle bridge built by the Sword Demon Tribe many years ago.

Since the relocation of the Sword Demon tribe that lived in the Wasteland, the trestle still remains, but it is damaged in many places. Fortunately, the material used to build the bridge is a very strong iron tree, so it can barely get through. Walking under the trestle, the wind blew from time to time under the abyss, and the sound was sharp and long, like the roar of the devil of hell. Even if it is a sword demon, he walks cautiously when he passes the trestle bridge, for fear that if he accidentally blows down the trestle bridge, it will be a situation from which he will never recover.

Through the guò trestle, you can see an abandoned sword demon level. Most of the buildings in the level were crushed by the snow and buried under the frost and snow. Only one stone outpost barely stood in the snow, and the black walls contrasted strongly with the snow.

The Blade Demon team soon cleared the outpost and advanced into the barren land. The barren land is a snowfield, and there is no detailed information on the map of the Thunderfire Base here, after all, this is a no-man's land, and there is no need to inspect and monitor. The snowfields are vast and endless. Walking in it, there is hardly any reference to be found, as if heaven and earth are unified, and there is no difference.

Without the help of tools, it is easy to get lost in this snowfield, and you will never be able to leave this vast area, and you will only end up as a dry skeleton under the snow. However, this team of sword demons didn't seem to plan to go straight into the snow field, and they turned west about a kilometer or so away from the Dead Star Abyss. And this qiē allows the eyes behind a pair of telescopes to see clearly.

"They're going to Lake Budong." Alan wears a snow camouflage suit, which protects against the cold and conceals himself. He stood up on a low slope, slid down the slope, and said to the other three.

"Winterless Lake? What is that place? Lucy asked.

Alan shook his head: "That's the last marked area on the west side of the base map, as for where it is, I don't know." Judging by their route, it should be towards Buddhung Lake. It could be the location where they stayed, or it could be the location where the sacrificial procession would appear. Anyway, let's keep up. ”

The four of them left the low slope, separated by nearly two kilometers from the Sword Demon, and also turned to the west, heading in the direction of the Buddhin Lake. The march in the snowfield was extremely boring, and Chen was not good. And due to the strong wind in the snowfield, several people were able to cover most of their faces with masks, and naturally no one chatted and talked, and they all hurried silently.

The wind and snow gradually increased, and when a shocking thunderclap suddenly came from the northeast, shaking several people and almost falling to the snow, Alan looked behind him in shock. The sky was so overcast that it looked like it was about to fall, and the lightning was shining and the wind was blowing. Gradually, the air currents in the sky and the ground converged, forming a wind dragon. The wind tornadoes the frost and snow grow stronger, pushing in their direction like a snow dragon.

"Oh no, it's a snow whirlwind!" Alan yelled, "Quick, we're not going to be faster than it is on the snow." You can only wrap up in a ball and try not to blow it apart. ”

At the moment, Lucy is in the center, and the three men of Alan form a protective circle on the outside. Everyone is excited, and they don't care about revealing their whereabouts, so they will pass this level first. Protecting his body with his source power, Allen's knife, Bloy's axe, and Willik's fist all plunged deep into the ground to hold on.

The whirlwind progressed, the heavens and the earth were bleak, and the light continued to dim, like the end of the world.

Alan grabbed Lucy tightly with one hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine." ”

Lucy's little face showed a stubborn smile and focused on it.

The whirlwind swept into their vicinity, and immediately everyone's ears were filled with the sound of wind that seemed to tear their eardrums, and they could not hear anything else, and it was difficult to even open their eyes. The violent air currents are constantly rotating at high speed in the wind and snow, and it is easy to lack oxygen in this environment. But now there is no other way but to persist with it. The tremendous centrifugal force lifted them off the ground, desperately trying to throw them out.

Eren blew the muscles on both cheeks and trembled, and grabbed Chijun with his hand. Fortunately, he used a rope to tie his palms and Chijun together, but he was not afraid of separating from the heavy knife. And Qianjun is already heavy, so he has an advantage in the storm. Although Alan lifted it to the wind, he couldn't blow it away. Alan hugged Lucy with his other hand and gritted his teeth to prevent the girl from leaving his side.

The two hugged each other and struggled in the wind. Suddenly, two exclamations sounded, and before he could react, Willik and Bloy had disappeared without a trace. Alan was so blown by the wind that he couldn't speak, and could only barely look up. Out of the corner of his eye, he only saw the two figures flashing, and then completely disappeared into the wind and snow.

I don't know how long it took, but the whirlwind finally went away, and Alan pressed Lucy down in the snow, and the two gasped for breath, and neither of them spoke. The palm of the hand tied to Qianjun was torn bloodied by the wind knife, and it was quickly frozen by the cold wind, and the blood scab made the hand and the handle stick together and could not move. Although Alan was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, he still struggled to untie the rope, forcefully separated his hand from the hilt, and then rubbed his hands desperately to promote blood circulation.

Suddenly, Lucy held his head, and the two lips folded and kissed each other tightly. Lucy squeezed herself desperately on Alan's body, for fear of losing him. After a long kiss, she let go of Allen and gasped, "I'm really afraid of being separated from you like this." ”

But he cried.

Alan hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "No, from the moment I see you again." I'll tell myself that I'll never be separated from you again. ”

"Really?" Lucy's eyes lit up.

"Yes, whatever it is, I'm not going to let them separate us. Even if you face the Emperor, I won't let him take you away. Alan squeezed the girl's hand: "This is my promise." ”

The two had a love affair early, but they never broke it. I didn't expect to encounter an ice and snow whirlwind on the snow field this time, and I almost parted with life and death. At this moment, I finally put aside a qiē and be honest. This snowfield is a witness.

Alan didn't let the sudden love get carried away, he packed his things and frowned: "We have to move quickly, the wind is so fast and so strong, Willik and the two are probably already far away." ”

Lucy's small face seemed to glow, and although the situation was bad at the moment, her heart was full of confidence: "We will definitely find them." ”

"You have faith."

"Because they don't look like the kind of people who just give up on themselves."

So the two men continued westward, and the snow whirlwind came from the northeast and advanced westward. If Willik and the others can get out of the whirlwind, they will naturally be in the west direction. The two trekked through the snow, leaving a trail of footprints.

In the evening, there was still no sign of Willik. Alan could only find a leeward slope, light a fire with a marching stove, and hold Lucy all night. At dawn the next day, Alan was shocked to notice that the temperature on Lucy's forehead had risen, but her hands and feet were cold. He quickly slapped Lucy's little face, but he couldn't wake her up. Originally, people like them who have already lit the fire and even formed an engraved mark have the source power to protect their bodies and are not easy to get sick. But yesterday's snow cyclone was so alarming, the temperature in the cyclone was extremely low, and the blood circulation was much slower than usual.

If the cold takes advantage of the opportunity to enter the body, it is not surprising that people like them who are not too high in rank will get sick. But now that the two of them are in the snowfield, it will be very dangerous for Lucy to fall into a coma without medicine. Alan forced himself to calm down, first giving Lucy an injection with the field first-aid medicine on his body. This kind of medicine is mostly used to enhance the body's resistance and improve the body's own immune function to temporarily prolong life, but it is not a cure.

What is needed now is a place that is warm enough to keep Lucy's body temperature alive. Otherwise, her body temperature will continue to drop, and she will eventually freeze to death. Alan took off his snow coat and draped it over Lucy and tied it with his sleeves. He stood up with Lucy on his back and walked in the direction of the Abyss of Death. Now I can only leave the snow for a while, and wake up Lucy before talking about anything else. R1058
