There is no moon on this planet at night, and it is illuminated only by the starlight reflected on the ice. The ridges in the distance became strange and strange in the night, like a giant beast that kept breathing out biting cold wind.
Light has such a great impact on the environment that it is difficult for Luo Binhan to distinguish those icebergs that appear crystal clear and tranquil during the day. He can only rely on some peaks with special shapes to determine whether they are on the wrong track. But in fact, the shapes of the ice cubes were almost the same, and he was not completely sure that they were correct. At the same time, he had to pay attention to the road under his feet to avoid losing his footing and falling into the bottomless ice ravine.
The blue magpie floated slightly higher than the ground, very close to him, using the faint light of the detection spell in its hand to light his way. Although Luo Binhan was worried that the light of this spell would reveal their whereabouts, its effect was so important that they had no choice but to let Lan Que block the light with his body as much as possible, making it less conspicuous from a hundred meters away.
"The nights here are really cold." Blue Magpie said in his head. "It reminds me of a mentor from the past. She built her tower on a rock peak covered with snow all year round, and studied winter snow roses and frost morning grass. . She is the most introverted tutor I have ever met, but her tacos are so beautiful... And what about you, Luo Han? Where do you come from? "
Luo Binhan didn't want to talk to it anymore. His main focus was on finding the way, and he couldn't even worry about the members of the Silence.
"Countryside," he said calmly.
"Oh, you mean primitive civilization? I can understand that, you look more old-school. Body, clothing, speaking attitude... Of course, I completely respect your ancient customs and habits, and I think you are pretty cool like this. of……"
"Why do you think I am Gu Yuolv?" Luo Binhan interrupted and asked.
His question made Lan Que quiet for a few seconds, and then he stuttered: "But, but... you don't look like a modern mage! I didn't see any traces of magic on you!"
"So why don't you treat me like a normal primitive creature?"
"Hey, don't underestimate my level of knowledge! I may have made a little mistake when I first woke up, but that doesn't mean I lack common sense. There is no way that primitive Homo sapiens could survive this temperature with your injuries, Not to mention that the normal temperature inside your body is much higher than the average, and that hidden in your eyes... blessing? Curse? Demonic nature? Well, I really can't recognize its specific effect, but it is definitely, It must be certain that it is the power of some ancient law!”
Luo Binhan began to feel bored. He didn't want to listen to Lan Que's endless talk, and even hated the existence of this White Tower apprentice. This unfounded hostility made him feel very strange, so he did not argue with Lan Que and just continued to walk with his head buried in the ground. The narrow path between the icebergs becomes more dangerous at night, and once he loses his footing and falls into the deep stream, the slow-flying blue magpie cannot rescue him as easily as Jing Huang. He couldn't take any wrong step.
The blue magpie is still following closely. It pressed down the light ball in its hand to illuminate the road more clearly.
"...Are you angry?" it asked tentatively, "because I mentioned your identity? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just curious. If this is a taboo topic for you, we can avoid it. It doesn't matter, I have read some books about your habits. If you don’t want to communicate with me, I completely understand you..."
"You don't understand." Luo Binhan said after jumping over an ice ditch. The width of the ice trench is more than three and a half meters, and the bottom is covered with sharp ice spikes shaped by wind erosion. For An, he should have taken a detour, but he didn't want to spend that time. The night began to make him uneasy, as if some danger was approaching.
He glanced at the ball of light in Blue Magpie's hand, but nothing changed.
"You really hate discussing yourselves with outsiders." Lan Que said unyieldingly, "No problem, we can talk about other things. What do you think about leaving your hometown? I heard that Gu Yuolv rarely talks about it. If you are interested in things outside the place of your birth, why would you want to come here to visit your friends?”
"Does it have anything to do with you? Do you think I shouldn't come out?"
"No, no, I don't think so. I just want to increase my knowledge of ancient laws. There are so many unsolved mysteries about you, but you always refuse to communicate with the world. In the past, I could only occasionally communicate with you from afar. I always look at you, or say a few polite words, but there has never been an opportunity for me to get close to an ancient law like this..."
A spark suddenly flashed across the surface of the light ball.
The blue magpie's voice fell silent instantly. They lay down in the shadow of the ice at the same time, looking around. At this time, they were still in the treacherous iceberg area, their field of vision was very limited, and they found nothing suspicious.
"What do you think that is? Could it be your companions looking for you?" Lan Que asked in a low voice unnecessarily.
Luo Binhan looked at the light ball again. Sparks kept flashing on its surface, reminding them that some kind of creature was wandering within a hundred meters. But this spell is too simple, and they have no way of knowing how many creatures are detected, how close they are, and whether they are their enemies.
At this time, they were still far away from the hut, and Luo Binhan estimated that they might not even be a tenth of the distance away, so he didn't expect to meet any acquaintance who came out to look for Polavati. Moreover, if Jing Huang or Momolo came looking for him, they should be able to see a red or white luminous body from a distance.
The two of them lay on the ice anxiously, not daring to take another step forward. The unknown made this thing even more terrifying. They had to pray that the thing that triggered the magic reaction was a few lone bugs, and they would soon leave or freeze to death. However, the warning of the light ball has continued without any sign of disappearing. The thing refused to leave and stayed within a hundred meters of them.
Luo Binhan didn't dare to speak, so he could only pat Lan Que's wrist bone with his hand, and then pointed to the ball of light, asking if there might be something wrong with the spell. There should not be naturally occurring animals and plants on this planet, so the living creatures they encountered were either friends or enemies, but no matter which kind they were, they should not linger nearby and delay appearing in front of them. Luo Binhan had heard the conversation of the female killer and didn't think she was the type of procrastinator who liked to play with her prey slowly.
They waited for three or four minutes before the sparks finally disappeared from the ball of light. Luo Binhan immediately jumped up from the ground and ran in the direction of the pointer.
"Be careful! Watch your step!" Blue Magpie hurriedly flew next to him and said, "My 'Simple Floating' is not 'Lightning Wings'. Don't run so fast! You will leave me behind!"
Luo Binhan thought it was reasonable, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed one of its ribs, pulling it like a pole before flying a kite and taking off. This mode also brings unexpected conveniences - the buoyancy on the skeleton makes it easier for him to jump over ravines.
"Put me down!" Blue Magpie screamed in his head, "I'm not a glider! This is so embarrassing!"
Luo Binhan didn't care about its dignity. He climbed over three ice slopes in succession, and while panting slightly, he saw sparse horn peaks and large and small depressions in the distance. The sight stirred something in his mind that convinced him he was going in the right direction.
He breathed a sigh of relief, released his grip on the blue magpie's ribs, and slowly slid along the ice slope to the ground. Blue Magpie's hands had to hold the light ball, so he floated up angrily, swinging his foot bones and kicking his back.
"I can't believe you just did that! You should at least tell me..."
Its complaint was interrupted by a sharp wind sound like a ghost's cry. Both of them were startled by the strange movement, and then Luo Binhan found that his antifreeze suit had not been blown. That's not the wind.
The whistle sounded again. This time Luo Binhan finally heard it clearly - it was the howling of a wolf from behind them.
