In the northern part of the Fengxuan Empire, there is an ice field with a radius of thousands of miles. The ice layer is extremely thick, the temperature is extremely low, and there is no rain all year round. It is the most dangerous and desperate situation in the Fengxuan Empire.
For the people of the Fengxuan Empire, this is a territory that no normal person is willing to set foot in. In addition to the severe cold weather that prevents ordinary people from moving freely, there is another important reason. That is, under this ice sheet, endless sea monsters breed.
.
Sea monsters are extremely ferocious and powerful. They can reproduce and grow crazily on the seabed, and are stronger than ordinary monsters. This is the direct reason why no one cares about the ice field.
There used to be humans living here, digging holes and settling in the icebergs, and fishing for food. However, in such a cold place, the fish have mutated due to the natural environment, and their bodies have become larger and more ferocious.
Coupled with the invasion of sea monsters and the shortage of food, humans had no choice but to leave the ice fields. Sea monsters are very powerful and can break through ice layers several feet thick, and some can break through ice layers tens or even hundreds of feet thick.
From the bottom of the sea to the sky.
The royal family of Fengxuan Empire also thought of wiping out the sea monsters here, and sent an army of 100,000 people to attack. 100,000 people set out from the imperial city in a mighty manner, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone was looking forward to the army's triumphant return, but the result was
, 100,000 people did not survive, and were all buried on the seabed under the ice sheet.
…
In this fierce land, looking down from a high altitude, there is a small dot constantly moving on the ice sheet, as if it is chasing something, but also seems to be avoiding something.
It was a little boy. He was wearing four or five pieces of clothing, with two large gourds hanging around his waist. He was also carrying a baggage that was several times larger than his size. He didn’t know what was inside. The boy’s face had residue
There were some ice crystals on it, it must be that the sweat had been solidified by the extremely cold temperature before it completely flowed out. Sweating is not a good thing in such a ghost place. The wind blew over it like a knife, chilling my heart.
But the boy couldn't care less. He gritted his teeth, spread his legs and ran forward quickly. Carrying such a big burden, his speed was so fast that even many people in the Earth Yuan Realm couldn't match him.
Behind him, the ice suddenly burst open, and a shark one and a half feet long rushed out from the sea. The shark had a large round horn on its head. It seemed that it should have broken through the ice with this horn.
"It's not over yet. Damn doghead shark. If you weren't afraid of waking up other monsters, I would have stewed you and eaten you. Do you think I will be afraid of you?"
The boy was very troubled by the persistent pursuit of the horned shark. Recently, it was the dormant period of the sea monsters that occurs once every three years. Most of the powerful sea monsters began to sink to the bottom of the sea to sleep, and only the weaker ones came out to look for food.
, Normally, how could they have the courage to be so presumptuous. But even so, the little boy did not dare to fight back. He was almost as powerful as this doghead shark. If he really made a move, he would probably disturb other sleeping monsters.
, then it would really be a dead end, and whether or not a mutilated corpse could be left behind is a question.
The boy was running. He had forgotten how long he had been running, but he just felt so tired. Suddenly, he saw an ice cave not far ahead.
He ran into the ice cave. After entering the ice cave, he looked back and realized that the doghead shark behind him had disappeared.
"Huh...huh...Compared with my speed, I can't beat you, but I can't outrun you. I really think my speed in escaping in the past few years can't be matched." The little boy said proudly.
After putting down the baggage, the boy sat down as if relieved, panting heavily from exhaustion. His eyes wandered aimlessly, and suddenly he was fixed on the edge of the ice wall in the cave in a daze.
Under the ice wall, there is a little girl lying, about the same age as a boy, wearing a bright red dress, her pink face makes people want to take a bite, her messy black hair is close to the ground, soft
The petite body is particularly attractive, and the skin is as smooth as ice and snow. In the eyes of the boy, this is a miracle given by God, gorgeous and unparalleled beauty.
She is like a fairy in a dream. Although she is not as beautiful as that, she has a hazy beauty, as if a layer of mysterious mist has been shrouded in her body, which seems real and illusory, elusive. The cold wind blows, and the
A few strands of black hair were brought to her delicate and delicate face, and then climbed up to her small and exquisite nose, adding a different style to her beauty. Although she was in a coma, she still had a sense of arrogance.
The breath of a person can be seen from a distance but cannot be teased with arrogance.
The boy came closer and probed the girl's breath with his fingers. He found that the breath was peaceful. She must have fainted from overwork.
"I dare to come to the ice field at such a young age. I didn't expect that besides me, a fool who was deceived, someone would come here. She is still a girl younger than me, and she is so good-looking..." The boy smiled, then became worried.
He said, "But if you go out now, you can't guarantee that you won't be targeted by doghead sharks. Even though you are a woman, I can't risk my own life, so I'd better stay here. Don't mind. It's useless if you mind..."
"
"Although I don't know why you are here, it is fate that we can meet in this ghost place. Master told me that fate is a wonderful thing, so I plan to help you, hehe..."
The boy formed a seal with his hands, and a ball of turbid energy slowly emerged from his hands. He hit the ball of energy on the ground, and a ball of flame ignited on the ground.
He opened the bag, took out a dozen relatively strong wooden bars and a few ropes, and took out a kettle. He put the wooden bars up, passed a wooden bar through the kettle's handle, and placed it across the flames.
On the wooden shelves at both ends. After doing this, he took out some medicinal materials from the bag, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, wolfberry... A lot of medicinal materials were placed together regardless of type. Yan Ting held his chin with his right hand and carefully
After thinking for a while, he took out two ginseng and some wolfberries, and added some diced ginger. He broke them off and threw them into the kettle. Then he took out a gourd from the bag that was the same as the one around his waist. It turned out that except for the
There were two gourds, and there were several more in the bag. One gourd could hold his water intake for seven or eight days. Filling two-thirds of the water in the kettle, he closed the lid and sat aside to wait slowly.
"Okay, let's boil the medicine first. I don't know if these are useful. I hope I can help her. Hey, if dad knows that I stole medicine from the pharmacy again, he might say something to me, Great Elder,
Please don't sell me!" The boy prayed silently in his heart.
After waiting for more than an hour, the boy tried to ward off the cold and pour energy into the girl's body, but it was of little use. After the medicine was cooked, the boy took out a wooden bowl and filled it with the medicine.
He went to the girl's side. He slowly fed the medicine into the girl's mouth. Under the action of the medicine, the girl's little face, which was red from the cold wind, finally turned a little whiter.
"You should be fine after taking the medicine. Yes, it's so cold and she only wears so few clothes. She must be a lunatic. Why don't I lend her two pieces of clothes? She looks pitiful.
"The boy said to himself, took off the five pieces of clothes he was wearing, took the two warmest clothes on the inside, and put them on the girl.
As he got closer, the boy suddenly realized how beautiful the girl in front of him was. Her small mouth, which looked like cherry petals, looked extremely cute. Her pink face added a bit of squeamishness, and her bright eyes and white teeth were like a piece of uncarved beauty.
The beautiful jade in the stone has shown her most perfect side in the stone.
The boy couldn't help but exclaimed: "She is so beautiful. She is really the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
Indeed, there are very few girls in the world who are so beautiful when they are around ten years old. Which one is not so stunning that everyone worships her and regards her as a goddess?
"I'm thirsty, drink water." The boy stopped thinking about that and grabbed a gourd and poured it into his mouth.
The water flowed out from the gourd, was squeezed out from his mouth, and flowed onto his left shoulder. At this moment, the skin color of the boy's left shoulder slowly turned partially black, and the discolored part gradually appeared completely, forming a picture.
Strange patterns.
The pattern is a black begonia flower. Begonia means beauty, but this black begonia flower is very scary. It is like a ghostly flower blooming in the underworld on the other side, which is completely different from the meaning of begonia.
Its petals spread around like fangs. The branches of Begonia flower extend to half of the boy's waist. The petals are extremely huge. Almost every petal is the size of a palm. It occupies the boy's back and even his left chest.
They are all petals, connected to the flower branches, which is daunting. The petals are extremely strange, seeming to faintly exude an evil aura and black-purple light, which is completely incompatible with the symbol of Begonia.
The top of the petals is sharp, and there are several holes between the petals. The evil aura and black-purple light seem to be emanating from here. Most people get tattoos on their bodies, usually with animals or plants, but with such a terrifying crabapple tattoo on their body
This is the first time I've seen him.
The boy lowered his head and saw that black crabapple flowers appeared on his chest again. He asked himself: "What on earth is this? Why does it appear when it comes into contact with water? My father doesn't know, and my master doesn't know either. Forget it, it's good for the body anyway."
There's no harm in leaving it alone."
After the boy got dressed, he took out a few sticks, meat, and various condiments from his bag, and started skewering them by the fire.
Behind him, a pair of eyes quietly opened.
"That's black, what kind of flower is it?"
Halfway through the baking, there was a sudden shouting outside the ice cave, which startled the boy.
"This is the sound of a doghead shark. Has it found this place? No, there is another unconscious person here. If the doghead shark comes, then she
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It will definitely die, I will lure it away." The boy set up the meat skewers and ran out quickly.
Outside the cave, a large hole has been opened in a place. There are two doghead sharks inside. It must be that the cry has attracted another one.
Although sea monsters are terrible at land battles, they can smash through the ice in one leap, and they are extremely fast in the sea, making it impossible for humans to outrun them.
Two doghead sharks are wandering in the sea waiting for their prey to appear.
…
"Huhu..." The boy lay lying at the entrance of the cave, breathing heavily.
There were more than a dozen holes in the ice sheet in a radius of 100 meters, and they were about to collapse. So he simply killed one doghead shark and let the other one escape.
"It's really thrilling. If it weren't for some dirty tricks, I don't know who will win and who loses. Why are you always chasing me? I don't understand. I'm so hungry. I want to see if I can eat the barbecue." The boy touched his empty stomach.
With a heavy belly, I walked into the ice cave with difficulty.
But when he entered the ice cave, he saw sticks all over the ground. Where was the meat?
"Who...is...so shameless, eating my food, eating it so cleanly, and not leaving any for me, that's too much!" The boy gritted his teeth and stamped his feet in anger.
I have no choice but to bake it again!
After a while, the aroma of meat spread throughout the ice cave. The boy held the barbecue and his mouth watered. He didn't care whether the meat was hot or not, he just took a bite.
"Ah uh - it hurts so much, my tongue!" The boy was in so much pain that he kept breathing to cool his tongue.
"Who is it?" The boy was furious. He was really unlucky today. He was being chased by a doghead shark. He fought on an empty stomach. His food was eaten when he came back, and now he bit his tongue again.
When he looked back, what he saw was the girl squatting aside with his food in her hand, wolfing it down.
Seeing this scene, the boy was stunned. This was the reincarnation of a hungry ghost in his previous life, eating in such a hurry. He looked at the girl eating, and the girl seemed to be aware of his eyes. She also slowed down her eating speed and tried to avoid it.
The look in his eyes.
"Eat slowly. There's still some left after you finish eating. I'll get you some water." The boy also knew that this was a bit embarrassing, so he simply changed the subject and waited until she finished eating to talk about anything else.
The boy picked up a gourd and handed it to the girl. The girl grabbed the gourd and poured it into her mouth.
"No one is going to compete with you, slow down, Gu——"
As the boy spoke, his stomach made an unsatisfactory sound.
"Oh, this is really the wrong time to shout!" the boy said silently in his heart.
The girl opened her big watery eyes and looked at the boy. She suddenly smiled and said, "You must be hungry too. I'm sorry, but here you go!" The girl gave all the skewers of meat to the boy.
