Bailing Village, located 30 kilometers outside Wan'an Pass, is indeed far enough away, and further north, it is the junction of China and the Russian Federation - the Dragon River.

This is the northernmost place Rong Taotao has ever visited, but unfortunately, the dark night and the wind and snow make it difficult for Rong Taotao to feel this sense of distance.

After all, no matter where he went, it was the same pitch black, the same wilderness.

"When I arrived, I saw the village fence." Gao Lingwei spoke, and everyone in the team was also shocked.

Finally, there was no danger along the way, and they still arrived here.

Rong Taotao is very grateful to the Snow Soul Banner of the Qingshan Army for stopping the wind in the range and freezing the frost and snow, otherwise, I don't know how difficult this road will be.

Fu Tiance opened his mouth and said: "We must speak in a measured manner for a while, although we are out of kindness and want to help the Bai Lingshu Female Clan, but we must also pay attention to our attitude." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes......"

Rong Taotao nodded, there was no reaction, but he didn't know the reason.

In fact, the escort mission is a difficult one, but even more difficult is to convince the Cypress Tree Girl to return to the Three Walls with them!

These creatures are very kind, especially for the weaker creatures, and the cypress girls often provide shelter for other snow creatures to survive blizzards.

But it is precisely because of the kindness of the cypress tree girl that it is difficult for them to leave their homeland.

Last time, a year and a half ago, when the snowy night came, Xue Ranjun came to Bailing Village once, trying to negotiate with these female tree people and return to the three levels to avoid the wind and snow, but they were sternly rejected by Bai Lingshu Nu, and they did not go back with Xue Ranjun no matter what.

Outside Wan'an Pass, there are many villages built by humans with the help of the soul warriors in the Snow Realm, and most of the soul beast villages have returned to the Three Walls under the persuasion of the Snow Burning Army, but only two races have not returned, one is the Cypress Tree Girl clan, and the other is the Snow Prison Fighter clan.

Of course, the Snow Hell Fighters don't go to the Three Walls to take refuge, not because they want to stay and shelter the small animals, but because they are aggressive by nature and have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the famous Soul Technique Snow Hell Gladiatorial Arena comes from their clan.

To tell the truth, they wish the Snow Realm army would come and do it!

Aggressiveness is already tricky by nature, and if you add a "not afraid of life and death" to this trait, then it is predictable that the Snow Hell Fighters will stay in this dangerous and snowy night.

......

Under the illumination of the white lanterns and the eyes of the snowy night, everyone came to a ... Well, cypress groves?

Gao Lingwei is telling the truth, there is indeed a wooden fence here, which is obviously artificially built, but what is enclosed in the fence is just a giant cypress tree?

There are many soul beasts, snow rabbits foraging everywhere, cold night birds hiding in branches, motionless snow stone chrysalis, and ice-bladed pine cones hanging on branches......

Wait a minute!

Iceblade pine cones?

You a pine cone, how did the cypress tree come above?

"The situation is urgent, don't go to the main gate!" Fu Tiance opened his mouth and said, "Climb over the fence and wake up the cypress tree girl!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Yiyu in front of him turned over and dismounted, turning over the gap in the middle of the wooden fence.

With Xu Yiyu entering, several snow rabbits around hurriedly ran away.

The others turned over and dismounted, although Rong Taotao didn't know why, but he also learned well.

His gaze has been locked on the slender figure not far away.

I saw Xu Yiyu come to a huge cypress tree, stretched out his palm, and slowly pressed it on the cypress tree in front of him.

She raised her head and spoke slowly, "Hello." ”

Rong Taotao turned over and entered the fence, looking curiously at the female assassin carrying the blood-colored flag, listening to her pleasant cold voice, but ......

Nothing happened?

Two voices also sounded around.

Rong Taotao looked left and right, but he saw Fu Tiance and Naqingshan Jun Cheng Boundary, in almost the same way as Xu Yiyu, with one hand on the rough cypress bark, raising his head and calling softly.

Seeing this scene, Rong Taotao also came to a huge cypress tree, pressed one hand on the cypress tree in front of him, and said softly: "Hello? ”

Swish......

Above Rong Taotao's head, the gray-black cypress bark suddenly surged, and then, the outline of a human face appeared.

Rong Taotao: !!

His mouth opens in an "O" shape, and this image... Is this too dreamy?

"Hello." In the cypress tree, the huge and delicate facial contour slowly spoke.

This is obviously a female face, and the white lanterns add a touch of beauty to this picture.

Her voice is gentle and her attitude is friendly: "The breath of frost and snow, the smell of lotus, human, I hope you have a kind heart." ”

Rong Taotao raised his head and looked at the beautiful face on the bark with a stunned face, a kind heart?

Is it because the effect of the lotus petals is too powerful, so this cypress girl is afraid that Rong Taotao will use it to do evil?

After a while, Rong Taotao reacted and hurriedly took off the hood of the vicious warthog: "Hello, I'm Xue Ranjun." ”

In front of Rong Taotao's eyes, the bark of the tree surged again, and he saw the huge female face slowly moving down......

She carefully looked at Rong Taotao's face, and then she also showed a smile: "What do you need?" ”

"I need... Huh? Rong Taotao didn't finish speaking, but he felt a small branch waving above his head, disturbing the white lantern above his head.

"Hee-hee~" A girlish pleasant laughter came, and the thin cypress branches gently flicked the piece of glow, passing through the middle of the white lantern paper cage, outlining an arc composed of white glow, which was beautiful.

Rong Taotao hurriedly turned his head to look.

"Hmm." On the not-so-large cypress tree behind her, a girl's face quietly disappeared and turned back into an ordinary cypress tree.

It's just that the cypress branch that she poked to tease the white lantern paper cage still stayed on top of Rong Taotao's head, and forgot to take it back, uh......

In front ......of her, the huge female facial silhouette on the bark of the cypress tree closed her eyes, and as a tree, she seemed to have lungs and could breathe.

I saw her take a deep breath and murmur softly: "The breath of lotus, the embodiment of frost and snow......

Child, it's hard for me not to have a crush on you, tell me, what do you need? ”

"I, uh." Rong Taotao raised his eyes, and the pine and cypress branches above his head "came to life" again, playfully playing with the little glitter above his head.

Rong Taotao ignored the naughty guy in the back, and said: "I am Xue Ranjun, you have also seen it, the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and the sky is getting dark, I was ordered to come to Cypress Village to pick you up and return to Huaxia, and return to the interior of the Three Walls Wan'an Pass to avoid the wind and snow." ”

"yes, shelter from the snow." The cypress girl smiled, slowly poked down a branch from the top of the giant tree, and rolled it not far away.

Rong Taotao watched as a pure white little snow rabbit rolled up from the branch, and slowly "hugged" it.

Such a scene, in Rong Taotao's eyes, is simply incredible.

The snow rabbits, with little offensive ability, are almost the lowest creatures in the snow food chain, fortunately, although this creature is weak, but the heavens favor them, giving them good speed and agility attributes, so that they can flee in the face of danger.

And this scene in front of me......

The snow rabbit, which was extremely frightened and easy to flee, actually stayed in place, calmly accepted the sweep of the branches, and let the cypress tree girl take it to a human being!

What level of trust is this!?

It's simply incredible......

The huge cypress tree poked out its tiny branches, like nimble fingers, gently caressing the fur of the snow rabbit, and she slowly spoke, "We are gone, what will they do?" ”

Rong Taotao: ???

What do you mean, you don't want to go?

In fact, in Rong Taotao's heart, he always thought that after coming to Cypress Village, he would say hello casually, and everyone would go home with the Xue Burning Army under the threat of wind and snow, and the result was ......

For a while, Rong Taotao was in trouble, turned his head to look around, but found an amazing situation!

Cheng Jiangjie, Xu Yiyu, Fu Tiance, Gao Lingwei...... There were four people, and none of them knocked on the "door" of the cypress tree, except Rong Taotao who was communicating with a cypress spirit tree girl.

At this moment, the other four people were all looking at Rong Taotao.

Seeing Rong Taotao's eyes asking for help, Fu Tiance suddenly stretched out his hand, clenched his fists, and put on a cheering qualification.

Rong Taotao: ???

You're the captain, okay!? Let's go on a mission, the team members ask you for help, and then you ™ cheer me on?

Xu Yiyu crossed his arms, wrapped in front of him, leaned back against the cypress tree, and looked at Rong Taotao with interest, as if he was looking forward to his performance.

Similarly, Gao Lingwei and Cheng Jiejie were also silently looking at Rong Taotao, as if they were waiting for a result.

Just when Rong Taotao was in trouble, beside him, an illusory figure floated out.

Rong Yang: "A year and a half ago, the soul beast army invaded, and the Xue Ran Army came to take over the cypress tree girl, they didn't listen to the persuasion, and they also suffered heavy losses, this is a breakthrough." ”

Rong Taotao seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and hurriedly communicated with his brother in his mind: "Quick, Yangyang, you come!" ”

During the task, Rong Yang ignored Rong Taotao's name for him, this was his illusory figure, and walked into Rong Taotao's body, and the next moment, Rong Taotao's body was "hosted......

Rong Taotao (Rong Yang) raised his head, looked at the huge face of the cypress tree girl in front of him, and said softly: "I always believe that only by protecting myself can I better protect others. ”

"Huh?" The Cypress Tree Girl raised her huge eyes, and her gaze shifted from the snow rabbit in her arms to Rong Taotao's face.

Rong Taotao (Rong Yang) said in a gentle voice and continued to speak: "Your clan is kind by nature, and what you have been doing in the wind and snow is also admirable.

But I think you also have to protect yourselves, you should know better than me the ferocity and tyranny of the soul beast army, they don't care about anyone, and they don't have the concept of neutrality in their minds.

They slaughter whatever they see, they eat whatever they see, and as far as I know, your clan lost countless people in the last soul beast invasion......"

The cypress tree girl looked at Rong Taotao's face silently, and suddenly said, "You are not him, let him come back." ”

Rongyang: "......"

Rong Taotao: ???

, worthy of a spiritual race, this cypress tree girl is simply a god!

Rong Taotao regained control of his body, raised his head, looked at the cypress tree girl stupidly, and said, "How did you find out?" ”

Looking at Rong Taotao's puzzled little appearance, the Bailing Tree Girl suddenly laughed, and the little branch that was caressing the snow rabbit also lightly touched Rong Taotao's forehead: "The breath of the lotus flower does not come from the body, but from the soul.

The physical body is nothing but the carrier of the lotus petals, and the embodiment of the real frost and snow......"

As he spoke, the tiny branch slowly moved down to Rong Taotao's heart and nodded lightly.

That means it goes without saying.

Rong Taotao looked at the tree girl with a confused face, hesitated for a while, and said, "Then are you willing to go back to the third level with the incarnation of frost and snow?" ”

The cypress tree girl just smiled and looked at Rong Taotao, without saying a word.

Rong Taotao continued: "My brother is right, only by protecting yourself can you better protect others. As you can hear, your people have suffered heavy losses in the previous invasion in order to keep the weak creatures behind.

The snow vortex will always exist, and it will exist for a long, long time, if you all die, when the night of the wind and snow passes, in the next years, ten years, a hundred years, those weak creatures, there will be no one to help them, to protect them. ”

The cypress tree girl looked at Rong Taotao quietly, and slowly spoke: "Very convincing." ”

As he spoke, the branches of the towering cypress tree, piled up with frost and snow, slowly stretched out.

Immediately after, the whole forest lit up!

The white lantern paper lantern floating above Rong Taotao's head is white, but in this cypress jungle, the floating stars are green.

For a while, everyone's horizons broadened, and Rong Taotao's heart was full of shock!

Due to the obstruction of his vision before, he could only see dozens of giant trees around him, but as the green glow lit up one after another, Rong Taotao looked into the distance, and he couldn't see the edge of this giant tree deep forest at a glance!

She... How many people are there?

This entire huge cypress forest is a cypress spirit girl?

The branches of the towering giant trees continued to stretch and intertwine, and after more than ten seconds, the top of everyone's heads had been capped by dense branches.

The scene is spectacular!

What are they doing? Didn't you already say yes, why make such a huge tree fort?

Or... Is this a unique way of communication for their family?

While thinking, several branches were staggered and coiled together, forming a tray, which slowly poked down from a height of dozens of meters and was sent to Rong Taotao.

And on that tray of branches, full... It's all soul beads!

almost blinded Rong Taotao's dog eyes!

"This?"

Huge cypress trees suddenly surged.

The trunk and branches of the giant tree gradually pieced together the head, torso, arms, legs, and the long hair of the frost and snow-covered branches......

Rong Taotao tried his best to raise his head, but he saw a huge cypress girl who was nearly 10 meters tall and 3 or 4 stories tall.

She slowly knelt down, looked down at the little Rong Taotao, and said softly: "Most of these are the soul beads of our clan, and there are also a small number of soul beads of other races, they are all poor creatures who died of old age or died accidentally.

If there really is a soul beast legion to attack, these soul beads will help you.

Thank you, child, for the village you built for us, for your repeated invitations to the city walls, for sheltering others all our lives, and for the Xue Burning Army, sheltering us. ”

it! Get rich! Got rich!!

"Ah, this... How embarrassing it is. Although Rong Taotao said this, his movements were not ambiguous, and he reached out to the soul beads piled up in front of him with one hand and pinched them gently.

People around: "......"

...

Chinese New Year~Haha~ It's a pity that I don't have a fireworks celebration in Songbai Town, so I want to see it......
