"What do you think?" Fan Chenxi asked when Qiu Xiaobei was in a daze and pinched her ears.

"Oh," Qiu Xiaobei put aside his complicated thoughts, "I have heard a legend before that there is a man named Chen who is very powerful and can predict the future. I just think that my mother-in-law can also calculate the future, and it feels too amazing."

"It's not as mysterious as you think. As long as you think from multiple perspectives and have the ability to judge his next nine steps from one step, it's not difficult to plan what might happen in the next few years." When he first met Qiu Xiaobei, he thought his life was coming soon, he was planning how to avenge the entire royal family after his death.

"Okay, don't think so much, let's go over and take a look."

He led her through the white trees, Qiu Xiaobei was next to him, on the one hand, he didn't want to be too far away from him, on the other hand, he supported him to walk, and his eyes looked around.

“What are you looking at?”

"Chen Xi, where are your shadow guards?"

Fan Chenxi did not answer, and stopped pulling Qiu Xiaobei. Qiu Xiaobei looked along his gaze and found that the bark seemed to be moving. When he looked closely, there were white snakes wrapped around the trunks of many white trees, both large and small. The largest one that can be found at present is the thickness of a baby's arm, and the small one is about the same as chopsticks.

Just like watching the snow bear in the snow, if these white snakes remained unmoved, they would not have discovered it at all. If Fan Chenxi had not found something strange with his keen senses, they would have walked a few more steps forward and would have walked into the snake cave. They would not know how many white snakes were entangled in the white trees.

It is one thing to catch a snake to eat, but in such a place where even the target is difficult to catch clearly, Qiu Xiaobei was a little scared. If anything moves in the arch and snake shadow, he would look over in a frightened manner. After staring at it for a long time, he confirmed that only a leaf was moved.

This situation is very unfavorable to them and is even harder to deal with than the Snow Bear.

"Chen Xi." She habitually called his name to increase her courage.

But this time, Fan Chenxi was really there. He blocked her with one hand and hid her behind her. She said in a naughty way: "I think I don't have to guess, I can know where your shadow guard is."

Sure enough, when they were fighting, a white snake on a white tree on their left suddenly attacked them. Without Fan Chenxi taking action, a black shadow jumped over, kicked the white snake away with one kick, and then landed behind them.

There is one or two. The white snake is like a signal flare. The other white snakes entrenched on the white trees also attacked them one by one. They also exploded a total of three shadow guards in a row. To deal with these white snakes who rushed from all directions like hidden weapons, except for Qiu Xiaobei, who seemed to have no combat power and was a big burden, the three shadow guards and Fan Chenxi were both masters, but they still looked solemn.

"I'll try."

Qiu Xiaobei sneaked out a piece of talisman paper to ignite it, and shot it at a white tree that had crawled many white snakes. The fire did not fall when it hit the tree, but stuck to the trunk, just like a small cluster of fire growing in a book. The white snakes climbing on the tree slid back one after another, obviously afraid of fire.

"This fire..." Fan Chenxi stared at the small fire that had been burning for a long time but still had not been destroyed, thinking about it.

Seeing that the fire was useful, the Shadow Guard took out the fire note, lit the dry firewood, and swung it towards the white snake that was rushing. The white snake shrank back in fear.

"It seems that I am really afraid of fire," Shadow Guard said affirmatively, and then exclaimed at the fire that Qiu Xiaobei had just released, "Madam, what's wrong with your fire?"

The dry firewood here is wet in the snow and is not easy. It was finally exhausted shortly after it was finally caught. Even if you know that the white snake is afraid of fire, it is useless. However, the fire that Qiu Xiaobei shot out earlier than the others is still burning.

"Haha, hidden weapon, I am a hidden weapon to defend myself. It is mixed with oil and it is not easy to destroy, hahaha." Qiu Xiaobei showed a pure and kind smile.

"Then, do you still have any hidden weapons?"

Shadow Guard slashed a snake with one knife and asked.

"Uh, there's more." Qiu Xiaobei, under the protection of the Shadow Guard, picked up three thicker firewood sticks, wrapped the talisman paper at one end of the firewood stick, then ignited it and turned it into a fire stick. She made it hidden, as if she was just smearing something on the firewood stick, and handed it to them after igniting it, "It should be ignited for a while, so let's leave here quickly."

Fan Chenxi glanced at Qiu Xiaobei's hand that deliberately hid in her sleeve and protected her by her side without saying anything. Three shadow guards protected each other outside, waving the fire stick to scare away the white snake while continuing to move forward.

"Shit, hiss-"

The further they walked, they almost entered the forest full of white trees. The denser the white trees, the more white snakes there were. The tails of them were wrapped around the trees, and the snake's heads were raised, looking like snakes growing on the trunk, which were strangely cunning.

The three shadow guards did not dare to relax at all. The torches were facing them throughout the whole process, for fear that one of them would be bad and that one snake would take advantage of the loophole.

However, it was useless after being alert.

The white trees are too dense, and I don’t know how this tree is planted so densely. One tree next to another can pass through, but you will definitely rub from the trunk or branches and leaves when you walk through it. You must rub from the white snakes.

They had to stop.

"Is this white snake poisonous?" If not, they would be bitten by their three shadow guards, and they would also let the two masters pass by safely. If it was poisonous... they would still do this, just because they were worried that if the poison is too strong, they would not be able to survive the master through this white forest.

"It's poisonous." Qiu Xiaobei said affirmatively, glanced at the three shadow guards, "So don't do anything randomly. If you really die, who will protect us?"

Shadow Guard devotes his life to his master. She does not want to reject this brainwashed loyalty blindly, but at least, she should not sacrifice her unnecessary sacrifice for loyalty. While protecting her master, she thinks they can live well. What can they do if they die?

The shadow guard glanced at Qiu Xiaobei in a vague way and said nothing.

Fan Chenxi patted Qiu Xiaobei's head: "I know what you think, but it is not feasible. Your plan is for you to block this forest with your body and get out of this forest as quickly as possible. Not to mention how big this forest is,..." He lowered his head and glanced at Qiu Xiaobei, "We can't be quick either."

Although he couldn't walk quickly with his legs, his internal strength could last for a while. But Qiu Xiaobei was different. She had been in eight months.

"Your Highness, this... will you retreat?" The torch in your hand was about to be extinguished. If it was impossible to move forward, you could only retreat first.

"No hurry." Fan Chenxi blocked Qiu Xiaobei behind him, took a step forward, slapped the white snake flying towards him with his palm, and looked at the distribution of the dense white trees.

Since the mother asked him to come here, there was no way to go completely. These dense white trees seemed messy, but there were always mysterious places.

"Go over there." He pointed in a direction, and there was the closest place between the trees, with white snakes staring at them with cold eyes.

"Yes." The Shadow Guard had no doubts about Fan Chenxi's decision, and even the white snake full of trees was fearless. A Shadow Guard passed by first, and then was surprised to find that the seemingly densest place was just because of the angle. Only when he really walked in did he realize that it was the most spacious road. He could intimidate the white snake with a torch and allow them to pass.

Fan Chenxi and Qiu Xiaobei were escorted by the other two shadow guards and passed smoothly. They leaned on Fan Chenxi's "smart eyes" and walked safely to the end of the white trees forest. But in the end, what stood in front of them was a row of white trees arranged horizontally, without any twists and turns, just straight on the same horizontal line, "intimately" blocking them, just like a row of tree walls.

And how do they climb over this tree wall and walk out of this forest?

"Go over from above." Qiu Xiaobei, who had been following Fan Chenxi, suddenly spoke.

"But this tree is very high. If you don't have to rely on your strength, I can't get over it." The trunk of this tree is full of white snakes, and it's not feasible to rely on your strength.

Fan Chenxi, who was staring at the tree, smiled: "Just do what the wife said."

"yes."

As a shadow guard jumped up to test first, and the others saw him passing through the treetops.

Fan Chenxi sighed, "Sure enough", he was unable to use his legs and feet, so he borrowed the power of the other two life shadow guards and leaped up with Qiu Xiaobei. However, the height did not exceed the white tree, and it began to stagnate at the upper part of the tree. Fan Chenxi took her and hit her directly, and then did not touch any trunks and branches. It passed through like a time travel, and then landed on the ground. The shadow guard who had come earlier helped her.

After the two shadow guards passed, they looked up and looked back. Qiu Xiaobei said, "It's just an illusion created by borrowing light to refract it." She then looked at the treetops that could not tell the truth at all, and her eyes moved upwards, looking at the mountain wall in the distance. She didn't know how Chili was outside the valley.

However, even if his ability is limited, he should have a way to save his life.

"Let's go." Fan Chenxi hugged Qiu Xiaobei, "I just had a small test and it won't end so easily. Be vigilant. My mother's test will not show mercy."

Qiu Xiaobei came back to his senses, put one hand on Fan Chenxi's waist, and grabbed his clothes with his hand, and continued to move forward accompanied by three shadow guards.

After leaving the white tree and snake forest, the white snow land was covered with the vast sky, the mood that should have been open always seemed to be more depressed.

"Is that...the lake?"

After walking in the white snow for a while, looking from a distance, I found something reflecting in front of me. When I looked closer, I realized it was water, a lake of water.

When he came to the lake and looked at the slightly shaking lake surface, Qiu Xiaobei was very surprised: "It would be fine if there is a lake in this weather, but the water does not freeze?"

She squatted down slowly, and fished her hands down in the water. The water was icy. She touched her twice and then came back. In just a short while, she felt that her hands were about to be frozen. Fan Chenxi immediately put them in her arms to warm her up, and scolded her for a few words: "There is strange everywhere in this place, and no matter what, children know this principle."

Qiu Xiaobei smirked and wanted to pull his hand out, but he didn't let him: "What are you still moving?"

"My hands are too cold, I'm afraid I'll freeze you too."

Fan Chenxi raised his eyes and looked at her face with dark eyes. She stood attentively and put her hands in his arms and did not dare to move.

She secretly glanced at the shadow guard next to her. The three shadow guards all turned their backs to them, looking at the sky and the earth very seriously, pretending to be a sculpture to show that she had seen nothing.

To avoid blinding your eyes.

Fan Chenxi said: "Look around."

"yes."

However, after a round of investigation, nothing was found.

The lake is surrounded by white snow, and further forward is the edge of the valley. From this point of view, this valley is not very big except for its deepness, and it is full of snow. At first glance, there is really nothing to find. On the contrary, the white tree and snake forest just now might have something.

How could such a clean valley bottom make a surprise soldier disappear? Could it be that it has all sunk into the bottom of this lake?

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the bottom of the lake to check?"

Fan Chenxi looked at the seemingly clear but actually could not see the lake water at the bottom of the lake: "How to check? Although the lake water is not frozen, it is even more frozen than ice. No matter how deep your internal strength is, it will never feel good once you enter." It is unknown whether you can dive to the bottom of the lake.

"Then, let me go back to the White Tree Snake Forest to see if I can take a longer pole and explore the lake?"

Fan Chenxi agreed. The Shadow Guard had excellent light skills. When he was alone, he even played his advantage very well, and he could not see anyone in the blink of an eye.

"Is this Xiao Ba?" Qiu Xiaobei remembered that among the shadow guards, Xiao Ba was the most stern, but the light skills were the best.

Fan Chenxi pinched her cheek: "Remember it clearly."

Qiu Xiaobei hurriedly hugged his waist with a pleasing gratitude. He was going to hug him, but with his big belly, it would be great to be able to hug him: "Chen Xi~ Husband~ I must remember the people around you."

"Speak normally!" He got goosebumps.

The jealous man is really a headache. Qiu Xiaobeiban said in a straight face, "Your Highness, I think this place is very strange."

"What's strange?"

Qiu Xiaobei walked away two steps, stared at the lake tightly, then looked away at the sky, and then looked at their feet. He clearly felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange: "For the time being, I can't think of it."

Fan Chenxi brushed her thumb over her cheek and did not laugh at her: "It's okay, think about it slowly." Although it was all Bai Xue, it was because of this that the small corner was wrong and her eyes flashed. It was only when she passed it to her brain that she felt it was wrong, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it and what she had seen.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Ba came back and indeed took several branches. He tied the branches together to form a long pole and slowly reached the bottom of the lake.

Everyone was silent, and another shadow guard was lying on the ground, his ears facing the lake, listening to the movement of the long pole at the bottom of the lake, Xiao Ba was exploring, and it seemed that he had not found anything, and the long pole in his hand became heavier and heavier.

The shadow guard on the ground asked Xiao Ba to take out the long pole from the water, and then found that the part soaked in the long pole had borrowed a thick layer of ice.

It can be imagined that if people go down, they will freeze at the bottom of the lake.

"There should be no corpses in the lake." The shadow guard lying on the ground stood up and said, "It should be that the long pole touches the human body, which is different from the movements of stones, soil, aquatic plants, etc.."

"Yes, there must be a corpse at the bottom of the lake." Qiu Xiaobei rushed to speak with certainty and eagerness. After finding that everyone was looking at her, she explained with awkward smile, "I mean, this long pole was frozen only after testing a very small place, so it was not sure that there would be no... Well, strange things, haha, I guessed them all."
