Two hours later, the first gust of wind and snow stopped, but the thick clouds remained.
The snow had reached the top of his thighs, and Li Bochen felt chilly when he saw Noya walking in the snow with her lower body almost naked. But Rakshasa didn't seem to take it seriously, and white energy rose slightly from his body. The ice and snow sticking to her skin also melted, making her whole body white and rosy and as if she was dripping with sweat. She didn't look like she was in the cold winter, but in the middle of summer.
Such a body is simply terrible. No wonder they can still compete with human monks even if they can't practice - if they are Rakshasa with a higher level, I wonder what kind of skills they will have.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Xu Cheng say: "Brother Li, the front is the territory of the Xumi people again."
Li Bochen raised his eyes and looked forward, and sure enough he saw mummies of various sizes hanging on a forest in front of him. It's just that the trees seem to have been frozen to death, with ice curtains hanging on the branches, rattling in the wind.
I had previously used the Demon Transformation Technique to transform into a second-level Hunjia Beast, in order to avoid the entanglement of the trees manipulated by the Sumeru people, and to avoid alerting the snake. But now these trees have been frozen into ice sculptures and no longer pose any threat. As for the Sumeru people——
At this time, Xu Cheng said again: "Now you don't need to transform into a monster. Xumi and Rakshasa don't know the magic. If the priest here wants to convey the message, he should use the plants in Dangtu Mountain. I think it's like this now, There’s nothing left for him to do, and even if he finds out, there’s nothing we can do.”
He actually persuaded himself not to turn into a monster? I don’t know if it’s just to be a smooth favor. Li Bochen only said: "I think so."
But by now he couldn't stand the cold anymore. Although running Qi can keep you warm, the current temperature may have reached fifty or forty degrees below freezing. His armor is strong but not thick, and the cotton lining is also thin, so it is basically useless. Judging from the look of Noya, it would be much more comfortable if she could use the magic of transforming demons to become a Rakshasa.
He sighed tremblingly in his heart and said, "Let's go and see if that Sumeru man froze to death."
It took another quarter of an hour to find where the Sumeru priest was - although the leaves on the trees had fallen off and the view would be wider without the lush canopy, the sky was still dark because of the thick clouds, so it was actually not far away. Fortunately, the Sumeru priest here also built himself a palace just like the induction king.
——A giant tree rises into the sky, like a majestic tower. This tower was originally supposed to have a long and slender tip, but now it is broken at the waist, with only half of it pointing towards the clouds in the sky like a broken sword.
The tree palace was frozen, and the Xumi priest inside must have died. When he arrived at the entrance of the tree tower, Li Bochen was even more convinced of this - the entrance was two long doors, which were now half opened. Snow spread in from the door and buried half of the hall. There were several dead animals lying in the hall, some were bears, some were deer, and some were leopards. But when Li Bochen walked in and took a closer look, he realized something was wrong - the deer had branches instead of horns on its head. Bears and leopards are not covered with fur, but with grass whiskers.
Xu Chengli immediately said: "Fetal seeds. If we had encountered this thing before, it would have been much easier. It is nothing more than using spiritual power to plant fetuses in humans and animals. If you have luck in your body, one kind will be transformed."
He looked at the corpses on the ground again: "It's similar to the kind of doll we met before. It was the priest here who separated the ghosts to investigate the situation. These things were also frozen to death, and the real owner should also——"
Li Boxen said: "He should be dead too."
Because he saw that there were two corpses at the end of the hall. One of them was a human-shaped monster over one foot tall, with the head of a dog and leopard prints on its body. Many thick vines were inserted into his chest, and he was frozen on the ground. Its upper body was held up by those vines, and the blood flowing from the wound turned into red ice, but it had not yet flowed to the ground.
This thing should be called a "cunning beast". Since it is humanoid, it should be a second-order one. The cunning beast held another corpse in its right hand - a human form that had been eaten from the chest down. The rest of it had a human face, it looked like an old man. There was no blood in the wound, but it was filled with yellow-green juice, like pus.
It should be the Sumeru priest.
Li Boxen walked into the door. Although there was only half a door between them, as soon as he stepped into the hall, the sound of wind in his ears disappeared, as if the whole world had become quiet. After walking five or six steps, I felt my whole head buzzing and hurting slightly again, and my ears slowly started to feel a little better.
But Li Boxen didn't dare to touch it. When encountering extremely cold weather in the North Plains, he once saw a comrade rubbing his ears after being frozen for a long time. As a result, the ears fell off as soon as he rubbed them.
He first walked up to the two corpses with a knife and then looked at them carefully, roughly inferring the cause of death. The blood on the cunning beast's chest did not flow to the ground, indicating that the temperature was extremely low when it died. As soon as it flowed out, it quickly froze.
He then cut open the cunning beast's belly with a knife and found some mummies inside, as well as some branches, grass blades and the like. It is estimated that this thing either came to the mountains to do something, or it was left behind before. When the weather suddenly turned cold, I wanted to find something to eat to warm myself up, but all the creatures in the forest were dead, so I could only eat some mummies. By chance, I bumped into the tree tower of the Sumeru priest and broke in.
Then - Li Bochen saw that the remains of the Xumi priest did not bleed much, and there were even cracks on the edge of the upper wound, so he guessed that the priest had almost frozen to death when the cunning beast broke in. The two fought each other and eventually died together.
The second-level monster's physical body is already very strong, but it still cannot withstand the severe cold. Compared with them, Rakshasa's physique is really terrifying - I fought Li Qiuhu several times in Wujing Mountain and Zhangcheng. Did she really use her full strength or was she merciful?
Li Bochen turned to look at Noya and saw her standing in the hall staring at the deer carcass on the ground, as if she was considering whether to eat it or not. Li Boxen said: "It's already frozen, I'm afraid you can't chew it."
He also felt extremely cold at this time, and knew that he might not be able to hold on if he continued walking. But Rakshasa's physical strength was really frightening. He already understood that people from the Demon Country should have a typical temperament of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so he didn't want to be weak in front of her. So he said: "Are you tired? If you are, we will rest here before going on the road."
Noah snorted: "Are you tired again after just one day's walking? You people are too troublesome. You can see the Xumi Priest's Bridge in just one more day's walking. Don't you want to go there earlier? If you can, It’s too late, maybe your kin will be eaten.”
Hearing this, Li Boxen couldn't help but feel secretly shocked - hearing what she meant, such a temperature and distance seemed like a spring outing to her, right?
He thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and sneered: "Since you are not tired, of course I am not tired either. Then let's keep walking!"
After saying this, he put the knife into its sheath, took a deep breath and walked towards the door. Noah stared at the deer again and followed. As soon as the two of them went out, they felt the wind and snow roaring again, and there was a whine in their ears. Li Bochen took two more steps, and suddenly heard Noya's footsteps speeding up behind him. He glanced sideways subconsciously, only to see Noya rushing towards him.
His heart trembled, and he immediately jumped forward, and when he turned around, he had already pulled out the magic knife - if this Rakshasa came to catch him, it would only take one stroke to cut off her hand.
But the expected blow didn't come. Noah took another step forward and fell into the snow, making no sound.
Li Bochen was stunned in the wind and snow for a long time before he was sure that something from behind had not knocked her down. Then he reached into the snow, grabbed one of her arms, and pulled her out. He saw that her eyes were closed, her face was blue, and her body was cold, like a corpse.
He glanced at Xu Cheng and saw that Xu Cheng was also a little dazed, and then said: "... Did this Rakshasa hold on by force before?"
Li Bochen didn't know what to say, but he felt relaxed for no reason. He said: "Then it's better to go in and take shelter, but don't freeze her to death."
