Chapter 455: (1/2)
When Xueran came back, he found that his hut was in full swing, driving away the cold of the underground snow area a bit.
There is a momentary subtlety in his look.
Shi Wuming, who was surrounded by hot pot to warm up, saw him come back, immediately greeted him warmly, and pulled him over to sit down.
"Brother Snow, come, eat together, and warm up."
Ning Jichen carried the long frame of everyone, and said cordially and kindly: "If Mr. Xue doesn't mind, sit down and eat together."
Wen Qiao took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks carved from spiritual wood. The bowls and chopsticks were made by Ning Yuzhou himself. The surface of the bowl was carved with some beautiful and graceful patterns, polished with spiritual power, and it was smooth and oily. The whole set of bowls and chopsticks looks like The artwork is average.
Xueran was sitting in front of the steaming pot with bowls and chopsticks, surrounded by strangers he had just met. The hot and lively atmosphere made him feel in a trance that he and this group of people are companions who have known him for a long time.
After regaining his senses, he rebuffed, "No, no need..."
Before he refused, Shi Wuming had already put a few slices of shabu-shaved, thin meat like cicada wings into his bowl, and the pungent, spicy fragrance floated over. It was really overbearing to invade all the senses and let him. The refusal was gagged.
Shi Wuming seized the time to grab the meat while persuading it to eat: "Hurry up, this is made by Brother Ning, it is very delicious."
"Tweet, twee~"
"Hmm~"
Xueran looked over, and saw a little yellow bird and a black and white dumpling-like monster beast buried in a bowl. The two ate very sweetly. After eating quickly, he urged his companions to cook their meat. .
After being urged to sweat profusely, Wentutu was so angry that he cursed, "Eating so fast? I can't even eat a piece!"
He scolded fiercely in his mouth, but his hands were so fast that only the afterimages could be seen. He quickly cooked the two monsters and put the cooked meat into the specially prepared mashed sauce, which was covered with the sauce. The slices of meat look more attractive.
The child was only seven or eight years old, but he looked after the two cubs very well as a nanny.
When he recovered, he found himself holding a bowl and started robbing them of meat.
After eating and drinking, the scene was in a mess.
Xueran hugged his belly and sat silently, the overbearing scent still remained between his mouth. This was something he had never eaten or experienced in his life.
He secretly looked at the few foreign cultivators he had brought back, and knew that he was different from them. According to what the people said in the past, he should be on guard against them, but he was inexplicably sitting with them to eat. A meal that can only be found in the outside world.
As the saying goes, cannibalism, Xueran is now an example of this.
Next, when the teacher had no life to make a rhetoric, he quickly figured out the situation here from Xueran.
The place where they came was the snowy area of the Celestial Wheel Continent. This is the worst place in the Celestial Wheel Continent. The death icicles alone are daunting, not to mention the bone-erupting extreme cold. Very few cultivators can bear it.
Because the ground environment of the Snow Region is really harsh, most creatures choose to live in the underground space of the Snow Region.
There is an extremely vast underground space in the Snow Territory, which is extremely far from the ground and can avoid the terrible death icicles, although the temperature is still extremely cold, at least not as terrible as the ground.
There is a group of cultivators who have awakened the blood of the ice phoenix inhabited in the domain of snow, which the world calls the ice phoenix clan.
The Ice Phoenix tribe has a very obvious white hair. Their physique is relatively cold, and they are not affected by the extreme cold weather of the Snow Territory. They can be said to be the overlord of the Snow Territory.
"Is the ice phoenix clan related to the phoenix?" Wen Qiao asked puzzlingly.
"Tweet, twee, twee~"
Before Ning Yuzhou could speak, the little Phoenix exploded his hair and protested.
Although Bingfeng had the word "Phoenix", he was not a member of their Phoenix family. It was just a kind of monster beast with the phoenix. It was far inferior to the phoenix, let alone the blood of the phoenix.
Wen Qiao stroked the hair it had blown up, quieted it, and then looked at Ning Yuzhou.
Wen Tutu and Ning Jichen were also puzzled. They didn't understand the Bingfeng family.
Ning Yuzhou thought for a moment, and said, "They should be the people who have awakened the blood of the Ice Phoenix...just like the blood of the awakened Gouchen of the Wen family in the Red Forest Continent, they are the descendants of the Ice Phoenix left in the lower realm."
Even the descendants, because they are too far apart, the power of the bloodline is weakened, not the Ice Phoenix clan itself.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Wen Qiao said strangely: "Is Bingfeng originally with white hair?"
"It shouldn't be." Ning Yuzhou thought for a moment. "All things transform into spirits. They are mainly black hair and black eyes. At most, they add some strange places in the hair color or eye color. The shape of the transformation is almost the same as that of normal people. Bing The Feng family should be the same. As for the cultivators of these awakened ice phoenix bloodlines, I don't know why."
"Could it be that their awakened blood is impure?" The teacher had no life to raise his hand to speak, "Maybe the awakened blood is too thin, causing their power to change, so they become like this pair of white hair. "
Ning Yuzhou nodded: "It's also possible."
After discussing the Bingfeng tribe, everyone turned to the attitude of the Bingfeng tribe to the outside world.
"Listening to Xueran, the Bingfeng people seem to be very unfriendly to outsiders." Ning Jichen was a little worried, "I don't know why."
"It's easy, just ask Xueran."
Of course, you can't ask directly. Even if Xueran is a very simple boy, if you ask too directly, I'm afraid you will doubt them.
After taking a rest for one night, when Xueran was about to go out, the teacher had no life to stop him at the door.
"Master Xue, where are you going?" The teacher asked lifelessly with curiosity.
Xueran showed a shy smile on his face, and said softly: "I'm going to patrol nearby to prevent ice locusts from crossing the border."
"Ice locust?"
"It's a kind of monster that feeds on ice spirits, likes to destroy the environment, and can't let it cross the boundary."
After his explanation, Shi Wuming finally realized that ice locust, a monster of ice attribute, is a common ice attribute monster in this underground space, and the ice phoenix clan fights wits and courage to occupy each other's living space, endlessly dying.
After contacting Xueran to live here alone, everyone quickly understood that Xueran should be sent here by the Bingfeng clan to guard the border. This area is also a relatively remote edge area. There has never been a trace of people, only Xueran alone.
That's why Xueran was so surprised when Wen Qiao and the others appeared suddenly.
Ning Yuzhou walked over, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to him: "Master Xue, thank you for your stay these past two days. If I disturb you for a long time, we should also leave."
Xueran looked at them suspiciously, "You want to leave? Recently, when death icicles were frequent, you really want to leave?"
Several people were stunned to hear, and couldn't help but think of the icicles on the ground that looked like pillars of ice.
The teacher responded quickly and said, "Hey, it’s hard for us to bother you all the time... You know, we came to the Snow Region by accident. The environment here is really not suitable for us. We want to leave, but I didn’t expect to get lost and I don’t know how to leave."
Xueran understood, and hesitated to say: "In fact, it's okay for you to stay here. I am the only one living here. Very few people come here. It is safer for you to leave after the period of frequent death icicles ends."
It is said that nearly ten months of the year are the period of frequent death icicles, and the remaining two months are relatively safe. Whether it is a foreign cultivator or a member of the Ice Phoenix tribe, they will be on the ground during these two months. Other times It is the snail living in this underground space.
There is still more than half a year before the death icicle has passed.
Shi Wuming said with a bitter face: "Will it take so long?" Suddenly, he remembered something, his eyes were bright and looked at Xueran, "I heard that Xueyu City is very lively, is it far from here? We want to go. Take a look at Snowy City."
