The high canyon tip is hidden in the blizzard, the dark and steep rock walls are piled with thick snow, the sky is dark and grey, and visibility is extremely low.

The passage below the canyon is slender and rugged, also covered in heavy snow.

The wind screamed, and several people trudged through the snow with difficulty, leaving footprints that were swallowed up in just a few seconds and disappeared into the vast snowy night.

They didn't use any light sources.

After all, in the frozen valley in the middle of the night, it is not only the low temperature that is dangerous.

Shi An shrank in a thick snow suit, and the whole person was tightly wrapped.

The fluffy rabbit earmuffs were worn on the head, and the whole face was flushed red from the cold. The long eyelashes were condensed with white snow and frost, and with the blinking, a little half-melted ice drop fell.

It's so cold... It's too cold...

Shi An's head felt a little sluggish from the freezing. Although the pace under his feet was still moving, it was more like a subconscious mechanical movement, making a regular creaking sound.

Although at his strong request, everyone had dinner in the hotel.

But the heat was so insignificant that there was nothing left that was dissipated by the severe cold shortly after entering the canyon.

——That elf treasure is really a lot!

Shi An thought fiercely.

At this time, a shadow suddenly passed over the high sky above, and the breath belonging to the monster struck.

"Prepare to fight."

Wang Li cautiously lowered his upper body and said to the other team members.

A group of bird-like monsters flew low above their heads, the sound of their wings flapping echoed in the empty valley, and their scarlet eyes looked eerily in the darkness.

Everyone became vigilant and pulled out their weapons.

Shi An was frozen into a trance, and subconsciously raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Clap-lap--" The sound of flapping wings suddenly became chaotic.

There was a commotion in the group of monsters, and a few crows chirped. Then, they hurriedly turned their direction and flew into the distance as if they were escaping.

It looked like he was being chased by ghosts.

The few people below who are ready to go: "..."

? ? ?

what happened?

Haven't fought yet, why did you run away?

Watching the direction in which the monster disappeared, Wang Li was silent for a while, then guessed: "Maybe...they saw food elsewhere?" The

other three: "..."

In this snowy day, except for them, where is it? Will there be other better food?

But apart from this, they can't seem to think of any other explanation, so they have to give up.

"Let's go." Wang Li withdrew his weapon.

At this moment, he felt his cuff suddenly being pulled.

Wang Li was startled and turned his head.

I saw Shi'an standing behind him, tugging at the corner of his sleeve with a hand with thick fluffy gloves, the tip of his nose was frozen red, his skin became more and more white, and his eyes were dark.

He sniffed and asked pitifully, "Well, can we light a torch?"

Looking at the hopeful young man in front of him, Wang Li couldn't help but feel a little softer.

But he still sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's too dangerous to light a torch in the canyon at night, it's like a living target, we're not only guarding against monster attacks."

Shi An lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Wang Li couldn't bear it, and comforted:

"Don't worry, the journey is not far. At our speed, it should take six hours at most."

Shi An raised his head hopefully: "How long will it take?"

Wang Li: "...five and a half hours. ."

"..." Shi An's eyes darkened instantly.

What? Have we only been walking for half an hour? !

The magic worm was hidden in Shi An's sleeve, and it was also shivering from the cold. It encouraged Shi An with its consciousness: "Sir, come on! You can do it!"

Shi An replied angrily: "It's easy for you to say, and so do I. I want to get smaller and be carried in my sleeves!"

Aware of Shi An's grievances, the worm dared not speak.

It sighed and shrank itself again - who would have thought that Shi An's body temperature would be so low? It's still cold even when it's hidden in the sleeves!

For the first time, the devil actually envied the black smoke left behind at home.

Shi An reluctantly followed Wang Li's footsteps and asked,

"Then, if I encounter monsters, what if I set fire to them? That shouldn't matter, right?"

...How strange is this description? Wang Li thought for a while and said, "Then there is no way. After all, our lives are more important than whereabouts

. If that happens, we will naturally use all means to ensure our survival."

I looked at the direction in which the group of bird monsters disappeared just now.

... so angry! !

Live firewood! Just ran away!

In the next journey, Shi An kept his breath away all the time, hoping to meet a few monsters who didn't have long eyes to attack.

However, for some unknown reason, for the next two full hours, the shadow of half the monster was not seen.

Shi An followed listlessly at the end of the team, and the eyelids had already started to fight.

Affected by the habit of remaining cold-blooded animals, Shi An is prone to drowsiness when he is cold.

Little by little, his head slowed down subconsciously.

Ah... I really want to hibernate.

Now the only driving force that supports him moving forward is the legendary elf treasure.

Suddenly, the snowdrift in front of him suddenly moved, and the amplitude was very small. It almost made people suspect that his vision was affected by the wind and snow, and he had hallucinations.

"Wait! Stop!"

Wang Li immediately stopped the team's progress.

Everyone cheered up 120,000 points and looked ahead vigilantly.

The tremors of the snowdrift became more obvious, and it was completely impossible to explain it with dazzling eyes.

——I saw that the thick snow rose higher and higher, gradually revealing a huge figure.

There are traces of blue-purple muscles hanging on Sen Bai's skeleton, dark flames burn deep in the dark eye sockets, thick snow cakes on its body, and falls rustling with the movements.

Wang Li's heart tightened instantly.

Oops, it's a undead monster!

Because of the abyss cracks, the dark aura tainted by this land could not be dissipated for several years. Therefore, in addition to the monsters adapted to the cold climate, it will also attract many monsters of the undead species.

These monsters lingered at night, and when they saw light or smelled the vitality of humans, they would be attracted to them.

They have no intelligence, no pain, and will not stop hunting as long as they look for their prey.

Except for the spells of the light department, there is no way to kill them, at most, they can only slow down their movements, which is very difficult.

This is why Wang Li was reluctant to act at night at first.

But he didn't expect that after deliberately restraining his breath and putting an end to all light, he would actually attract this skeleton horse!

"Hold it!" Wang Li looked at Wu Huancheng and gave an order in a succinct manner.

He turned his head and shouted to the rest of the group, "Let's go another way!" In the

snowy night, Wu Huancheng's light spells lit up, like the only beacon in a boundless chaos.

The skeleton horse turned its head, a pair of dark eye sockets staring at the sacred light aura not far away, the bones on the body collided, making a tingling sound that made the scalp numb.

The gloomy cold that seemed to penetrate the depths of the soul rushed towards him.

Wu Huancheng's pressure doubled.

He frowned tightly, and the light from the light spells was even stronger.

The skeleton horse in front of him looked even taller and terrifying in the dark night.

It seems to be trying to get close, but it is afraid of the magic power of the light system.

The atmosphere was tense, and it was about to explode.

"You go first!" Wu Huancheng shouted.

In the midst of the chaos, Shi An raised his eyes a little sluggishly.

The skeletons in the distance are white, and they are particularly conspicuous in the turbid dark night -

firewood! It's firewood!

Shi An's eyes lit up.

He went against the direction and stepped forward with difficulty step by step.

Wang Li, who was retreating in the distance, suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned his head and saw Shi An walking in the direction of the skeleton horse.

In the snowstorm, he shouted, "Shi An! Come back

soon-" Wu Huancheng turned his head when he heard the words, and immediately saw Shi An appearing not far behind him.

I saw a small cluster of orange-red flames rising from the center of the other's furry gloves, which looked tiny and weak.

"This monster is not afraid of fire!" Wu Huancheng shouted anxiously.

Undead monsters are only afraid of the light system, and other magic powers have no effect on them.

Shi An blinked, showing a puzzled look:

"Eh? Can't you?"

The skeleton horse in front of him suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a neigh!

In the next second, the snowstorm was as violent as a living creature for several minutes, and the whistling sound was so sharp that it seemed to pierce the eardrums, and several people had to crawl on the ground to avoid being involved in the terrifying hurricane.

The strong wind lifted the boundless blizzard, obscuring the view like a hood.

Can't see anything.

Everyone's heart sank.

Those who will use other powers to defeat opponents are definitely not ordinary undead monsters.

Wu Huancheng struggled to maintain the light of the spell, and the fragile wall supported around his body, becoming the only narrow eye that was not affected by the storm.

He turned his head to look for Shi An's figure, but couldn't find him anywhere.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing roar suddenly sounded in front of him!

Wu Huancheng was taken aback.

At a very close distance, the flaming fire suddenly penetrated the dark night, and then suddenly exploded!

With the whistling of the wind, it hovered and danced in the air like a fiery snake.

The extremely scorching temperature was instantly approaching.

The wind that was cold and icy like a knife just now was instantly dyed with a layer of heat that could almost scorch people, and the water vapor that was wrapped in the melted snow water rushed to the face.

Wu Huancheng was stunned.

The staff in his hand was slowly put down, and the faint light was swallowed up by the fire in an instant.

The wind stopped slowly.

In front of him was a dark scorched earth.

The knee-deep snow has been melted by the heat, exposing charred rocks that stand out among the canyons.

"What's wrong? What happened? Are you injured?"

Several other people hurried forward and asked anxiously.

They were blocked from the wind wall just now. They didn't see what was happening not far away. They only saw a flash of orange-red fire in the blizzard, and then the hurricane disappeared, so they immediately stepped forward to support.

But...

it seems like they don't need their support now.

Wang Li looked around the scene in front of him, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that in such an extreme environment, Shi An's fire magic could still exert such a terrifying effect.

It's simply a trend against the sky.

"Where's the skeleton horse?" Zhao She asked.

Only then did Wu Huancheng recover.

He looked around, but found that the skeleton horse that gave them a strong sense of oppression disappeared.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Under the disturbance of the strong wind and fire, Wu Huancheng was not sure what he saw.

However, at one of those moments, he vaguely glimpsed the figure of the skeleton horse, it seemed to be screaming and screaming, and it seemed to be struggling violently, as if dominated by some extreme fear, and then the figure disappeared in the blizzard .

It's like... just running away.

But how is it possible?

How could necromancers feel pain and fear?

He must have read it wrong, or hallucinated.

"Wait, what about Shi An? He's not with you?" Chen Meng frowned.

Wu Huancheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where Shi An was just now. However, the boy who was supposed to be standing behind him disappeared at some point: "I, I do

n't know."

Wang Li made a quick decision: "Find someone first."

arrive.

"Shi An!"

"Shi An!!"

Several people in the team spread out with the scorched earth as the center, calling out Shi An's name anxiously.

"What? Children? Can't find anyone?" Suddenly, a rough voice sounded from above their heads.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and subconsciously pulled out their weapons and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw an unshaven middle-aged man squatting on the rock wall, with several scars on his face, wearing a full set of cold protection equipment, looking down at them, and I don't know how long.

He hummed and jumped down.

The burly body seemed to have little weight, and fell lightly on the snow.

Wang Li caught a glimpse of the tattoo on his chest and was shocked.

is a mercenary.

This should be the group of people mentioned in the hotel earlier.

Unexpectedly, the other party left a whole day earlier than them, and was caught up within a few hours.

This road is the only way to enter the mountain. When thinking of the skeleton horse on the road, Wang Li has a vague guess in his heart.

It is estimated that they were also blocked by this intractable undead monster and could not move forward, so they were temporarily blocked here.

"What are you doing here, kids?" The man narrowed his glittering eyes and looked at the teenagers in front of him inquiringly. His eyes fell on Chen Meng, who had a beautiful face, and he paused for two more seconds.

There was a very uncomfortable feeling in the other party's eyes, Chen Meng frowned and kicked back fiercely.

Wang Li calmed down.

He smiled slightly at the man in front of him: "We are just traveling at the end of the year. I heard that this is a good place to practice, so we came here in a group."

"Really..." The

man looked at them and couldn't see it. Did you believe Wang Li's words?

The man laughed and looked back lightly: "It's very dangerous to drive at night."

"Otherwise, come to our camp to rest for a night, and then go on the road tomorrow morning, how about it?"

Wang Limi He opened his eyes and answered without leaking: "Not yet, our companion has not been found, we are very worried about his safety, I am afraid that he will not be able to rest well in your camp.

" That uncomfortable smile: "Then I have to persist."

Seemingly not feeling the hostility from the opposite side, the man continued:

"Life is at stake, right? So for the safety of your partner, I think you It's better to let us help, so we can't have the best of both worlds, right?" As

soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared behind the other surrounding rocks, all with the same mercenary marks on their clothes.

——The meaning of the threat is self-evident.

Chen Meng clenched his weapon tightly, gritted his teeth, and stared coldly at the mercenary in front of him.

Wang Li turned his head and shook his head at her without a trace.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was still smiling in front of him, with a polite smile on his face: "Since you insist on it like this, then it is better for me to be respectful than to obey."

"I also trouble you to leave your staff to help search for us. My partner."

Since neither of them had torn their faces, the mercenary on the opposite side didn't mind indulging the other side's careful thoughts.

He greeted a few people and asked them to stay nearby to search for the young man named Shi An. The rest followed him and walked towards the mercenary camp with Wang Liji.

Soon, the figure in the middle of the canyon disappeared, leaving only a piece of snow.

The blizzard was still falling, and the scorched rock formation was soon covered with a thin layer of snow again, mixed with the melted water, and turned into a gray-black mud.

three minutes later.

In the distance came the crunch of snow as it was trampled on.

The footsteps approached, and the figure of a young man appeared.

He is slender and can be engulfed by the blizzard in front of him almost instantly. A beautiful, non-aggressive face is hidden in thick fluff, and there are pink bunny earmuffs on his ears.

However, the boy was holding a huge leg bone that was still moving.

That leg bone was really too big, almost half the height of a human being, forming an absurd and stark contrast to the bearer.

And a cluster of bright yellow flames was burning above the leg bones, radiating heat continuously.

"..."

Shi An looked around blankly, looking at the mess in front of him, and asked in great confusion, "Where're the people?
