Lin Fan didn't say anything more, but the surprise and regret in Nian'er's eyes just now was only for a moment, but it couldn't be deceived.
Nian'er may have called this father a thousand times in her heart, but she still couldn't pass her own test, so she didn't say it out loud.
It wasn't until Lao Niu gave up everything and went to protect him regardless of anything that Nian'er completely let go of her obsession and was willing to say that father.
Nian'er lost all his memories and didn't even want to remember his name, but he still regarded Lao Niu as his most important family member.
As long as the result is good and Nian'er's kindness is still there, it won't matter whether he really forgets it or not.
A few days later, Lin Fan and his party walked to a deserted place and heard someone shouting for help from a distance.
Sword Spirit sighed softly and said: "This place is full of monsters. The person who is in trouble is not an ordinary person, but a monster."
"Come to think of it, this may be another battle between demon clans. Master, do we want to meddle in such nosy matters?"
If Sword Spirit were passing by this place alone, he would not mind such noisy matters at all. If those demon clans met him, it would be the other party's misfortune.
But Lin Fan had meddle in a lot of other things along the way. If Lin Fan was willing to do this, Sword Spirit would naturally not say anything.
Lin Fan said calmly: "Now that you've come, let's make peace with it. Let's go take a look first and then talk about it."
"Oh well."
When everyone arrived outside a trap, they saw a little monster looking at them with fear.
Sword Spirit said coldly: "You little monster, how did you end up in such a trap? There are monsters everywhere here. Are you not familiar with this place?"
"Me?" The little demon was really scared and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shui Ruoqing said with a smile: "Okay, although this is a little monster, he has not done anything harmful to nature. His monster aura does not have any malicious intent, so don't scare him."
After saying this, Shui Ruoqing used her spiritual power to bring the little demon out, and then asked: "Who are you? Why did you end up in this trap?"
At this time, the little demon boldly said: "Not far from here, it was the place where my elder brother and I used to practice. In the past, no demon clan came to disturb us."
"Just a few days ago, some very powerful demon clan people suddenly came. I don't know their identities, but they kidnapped my eldest brother indiscriminately."
"I followed my elder brother's advice and hid. After seeing all these people leaving, I dared to leave the cave. I don't know when there was a trap here, and I was trapped in it."
The little demon couldn't help but feel worried as he recalled what happened a few days ago.
Those people from the demon clan have great spiritual power, and they are not good people. I don’t know what is going on with my brother now?
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Is it in that direction?"
"Yes." The little demon nodded.
Yue Lingxiao looked in that direction and said, "Lin Fan, how do you know this?"
Lin Fan then said: "There is an ancient aura there, and the goal of these monsters is the eternal chessboard. Little monster, do you have such a chess piece?"
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan took out a chess piece from the scroll of heaven and earth.
The little demon frowned and said, "Yes, I have indeed seen such a chess piece. My eldest brother picked it up from somewhere else."
"Could it be that all of this happened because of this chess piece?"
Lin Fan picked up the chess piece and said: "This is an ominous thing in the first place. You have low spiritual power and should not have taken such a thing away."
"Sword Spirit, you take the little demon back to his cave and wait there. Shui Ruoqing and Yue Lingxiao and I will come as we go."
"Yes, Master." The sword spirit took the little demon and left on the auspicious clouds without thinking much.
Before the little demon could figure out what was going on, he was taken back to the cave.
"This immortal, can you really bring my eldest brother back?" The little demon asked cautiously, feeling anxious.
Sword Spirit snorted coldly and said: "I can't guarantee this, and we have never promised you anything. But such a treasure cannot be left outside. This is not something you can covet!"
The little demon wanted to ask some more questions, but looking at the indifferent look of the sword spirit, he could only swallow these words back and wait here silently.
The other side.
Shui Ruoqing asked very seriously: "Lin Fan, if there is a chess piece nearby, we shouldn't be unaware of it. What's going on?"
Lin Fan then said: "The power of these monsters is not as powerful as those little monsters said. They are not capable of using the power of chess pieces."
"The chess pieces are still in a sealed state. Even without the breath of the chess pieces, these monsters can still find the chess pieces. This shows that they are well prepared."
Lin Fan knew very well that the origins of these monsters must not be simple, and they might have some connection with this chess piece.
At this moment, everything in front of everyone's eyes became blurred, and an invisible mortal energy enveloped the surroundings.
Yue Lingxiao subconsciously took a few steps back and said, "Shui Ruoqing, can you tell what's going on with all this mortal energy?"
Shui Ruoqing frowned slightly and said, "I don't know, although I am a member of the Shui tribe and I am relatively familiar with the spiritual power of the Shui tribe, but I have never seen these before."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vague figure appeared, and his voice seemed very hollow.
"Everyone, welcome to the land of ice. Twenty miles further is the city of ice! Here are the answers you want. Break through the barrier and you will be able to see everything that happened."
After saying that, the voice gradually faded away, and even the ice aura completely disappeared, as if it had just been a dream.
Shui Ruoqing took a breath of cold air and said, "Is this monster from the Ice Tribe? Impossible."
Speaking of the Ice Tribe, there is some connection with the Water Tribe, but just a few hundred years ago, the Ice Tribe was completely destroyed overnight, and no one knows what happened on that day.
Since then, some people have searched for the Ice City, but in the end found nothing. Even those powerful people have disappeared a lot, and there is still no news.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "It is recorded in the scrolls of heaven and earth that the city of ice relies on the power of the ancients to remain standing for tens of thousands of years. It will be completely sealed after the treasure is stolen.
"When things go wrong, there must be monsters, and if the Ice Tribe people reappear in the world, they will inevitably cause trouble again.
"The so-called ancient power is too mysterious. It seems that only by arriving in the Ice City can we know the truth of that time and what the ancient treasure is."
Lin Fan had a guess in his mind that the chess piece whose power was sealed might be related to the truth of that year. As for why the Ice City was completely destroyed overnight, we can only find out.
Yue Lingxiao whispered: "Lin Fan, why do I feel that the person who appeared just now is deliberately trying to get us to go to the Ice City?"
Lin Fan smiled and said: "You are a lot smarter. Yes, he deliberately told us where the Ice City is. Don't forget, I have an ancient treasure."
"Xiao Yao's eldest brother was taken away by these people because of the chess pieces. There is still no smell of chess pieces in this place. It can be seen that with the power of the Ice Tribe, he cannot do all of this."
"The Ice City was prosperous for a while, but now I'm afraid it's still in ruins."
