The realm of the far east, ice hills and snowy swamps
After some tests, Duke Shui Liang judged that this large ice hill was a snow swamp.
"What is Xueze?" Han Qi on the side asked puzzledly. Although he had heard that there were many unique terrains in the snowy area, he had not understood it in depth.
"Snowy swamp is one of the most fantastic terrains in the mysterious snowy area. Like a swamp, the surface seems flat, but as soon as you step down, you will fall into the abyss of the ice cave. But what makes snowy swamp different from swamp is that its surface Snow crystals can shield spiritual power, so they cannot be detected with spiritual power at all. Moreover, snow crystals can easily give people the illusion of being as thick as ice, but in fact they are as thin as paper. So once you step on them, they are destined to sink instantly. Once you fall into the bottom of the snow, your meridians will be instantly solidified, you will be unable to use your spiritual power, and your body will freeze to death." Shui Lianggong said seriously every word, and the large ice hill in front of him was actually... It was beyond his expectation.
After listening carefully, Han Qi took a deep breath. Although he thought about the dangers he might face in the future, he didn't expect that there were so many invisible dangers hidden in it! If you don't pay attention, you might not be able to recover if you fall down.
"It is estimated that those soldiers who disappeared last night probably fell into the snow. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why so many people are alive but not dead... However, why are so many people falling into the snow for no reason? Where is the snow?" Seeing this snow, Shui Lianggong understood something in his mind, but then he fell into deep thought.
"Since we can't detect spiritual energy, how can we cross according to Brother Shui Liang's words? Ahead is the hinterland of the Far East. Isn't it possible for the army to turn back?" Han Qi asked unwillingly, thinking that the thousand-year treasure was just ahead. , but was blocked by this invisible abyss, and my heart was burning with anger.
"Brother Han, don't worry. Since the spiritual power cannot be detected, we have no choice but to resort to stupid methods. Although it takes a little time, as long as there is still a road in this snow swamp, we will definitely get through it!" Shui Lianggong said with confidence and relief. .
"Oh? What stupid way?" Han Qi saw that Shui Lianggong had a countermeasure, so he felt relieved and asked.
"Use pikemen as the vanguard camp and explore as you go, so that you can find a passage in the snowy swamp." Shui Lianggong did not hide his clumsiness and explained directly.
"Well, it may take a little time, but Han still has some patience." Seeing that this method is feasible, Han Qi became excited again.
Later, the spear battalion acted as the vanguard, walking in front of the army while using their spears to probe the ground inch by inch. The original forward battalion followed closely behind the pike battalion to clear the snow for the army. With such cooperation, the army began to slowly advance forward again.
The army marched zigzag along the detected solid ice surface. Although the marching speed slowed down sharply, no one fell into the snow. The army marched all morning and only traveled 40 miles.
In the blink of an eye, at noon, on the ice hills and snowy swamps, the weather improved, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the long-lost sunshine shone in the sky. When Han Qi, who was sitting on the horse, saw this scene, his heavy heart that had accumulated all the way was slightly relieved, and his face showed a look of joy: It seems that we are finally going to the Far East. The treasure that has been buried for thousands of years, I, Han Qi, are here. Got it!
When Shui Lianggong on the same side saw such a bright weather, he always felt that something was fishy. He heard that the weather should get worse as we go to the hinterland of the Far East. Why is it so sunny now? Are the rumors untrue?
During the seven nights in the team, seeing such fine weather also felt a little strange: the sky had never cleared up along the way, and the sunlight shining down had no warmth at all. Qiye was originally wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, and his cold body could clearly feel the warmth and coldness of the outside temperature. The wind, snow and cold along the way made Qiye adapt to such an extremely harsh environment.
In the sky, the sun shone brightly, shining on the vast white snow... Before long, the snow surface seemed to melt and rise, and wisps of snow mist evaporated. The mist became thicker and thicker, and gradually gathered together and floated in the air like a living thing. . It's like white air turning into an immortal, very strange.
"The whole army is on alert!" Shui Lianggong suddenly felt an ominous feeling, and then he shouted in shock.
Hearing Duke Shui Liang's urgent order, Han Qi's face, which had not been overjoyed for a long time, became solemn again. Although he still doesn't know what will happen, his sense of danger on the battlefield for many years keeps him alert.
After receiving the order, "Zheng Zheng Zheng~" the soldiers drew their weapons and quickly surrounded him. Qiye also held a hatchet in his hand and stayed behind the carriage, ready for battle. Wolfbei and Liubei gathered at Hanqi's side to ensure Hanqi's safety.
Just like that, under the nervous gaze of everyone. In the sky, the misty white mist gradually transformed into beautiful women with graceful and slender figures, flawless white skin, and long and elegant black hair. After seeing this unexpected scene, many soldiers stared blankly. It can be said that many slave soldiers have never seen such a charming and graceful beauty since they were born. Now, this graceful figure is floating in front of their eyes, even within their reach. It can be said to be a feast for the eyes. Even if you have never tasted the taste of a woman, being able to get a glimpse of her body will make you regret it!
As a result, the soldiers slowly put down their weapons, their eyes dazed. Soon, the black pupils in their eyes gradually turned white. Some soldiers seemed to be in a daze, their bodies were out of control, and they were immersed in illusions and delusions. Then they walked out of the defense team in a daze... and then, "Whoosh". With a sound, a person disappeared into the snow in the blink of an eye.
"Don't look! Close your eyes!" Shui Lianggong, who had already secretly activated his spiritual power to protect his body, saw that many soldiers were out of control and became unconscious, so he shouted urgently.
The sound penetrated his ears, and Han Qi immediately woke up after hearing it. Then immediately activate the spiritual power:
"Martial skills, Bingsang!" With a loud shout, Han Qi drew out a yellow-level low-level skill.
The snowflakes on the ground formed countless maple leaves that were made of ice and snow. They shot densely into the shadows in mid-air, smashing all those charming women into sieves, but they still did not completely dissipate.
"Physical attacks are useless against these phantoms, they are phantoms!" Shui Lianggong stopped him quickly.
"Charming Spirit? What is a Charming Spirit?" Han Qi was confused again. He knew very little about everything in the Far East Territory. I have never been interested in investigating, and this treasure hunt happened unexpectedly, so I naturally didn't have time to investigate.
"There is a record in ancient books: The true body of the snowy enchantment is hidden deep in the snow. By controlling the aura emitted to turn it into a shadow, it can transform into the greed in the heart of the prey, attracting the prey's attention, and thus taking away the light from the eyes. , and seduced its mind, causing it to fall into the abyss and be swallowed by it. As for whether the charm is a demon or a beast, the ancient books did not clearly explain..." Shui Lianggong added.
"There are such ghostly things in the world!" Han Qi said angrily. The ineffectiveness of his attack just now undoubtedly dealt a blow to his self-esteem, and Han Qi felt very hateful.
"Charming spirits can only seduce, so we can deal with it as long as we don't look at it." Shui Lianggong seems to have already had a plan to deal with it.
However, while talking, many soldiers in the army began to appear unconscious and walked out of the team, and then fell into the snow one by one. The rescue operation is urgent. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the entire army will be buried here.
"Martial skills, thousands of miles of ice power!!" After understanding, Han Qi shouted loudly, and with a drop of his palm, a yellow-level intermediate skill was shocked.
I saw the huge spiritual pressure in my palms instantly bombarding the ground, causing powerful waves to rush around. In an instant, the phantom of the snow mist that the spirit transformed into was dispersed, and the soldiers who had been lost in thought were awakened one after another. Qiye was also shaken by this huge impact, and his energy and blood were shaken, but he was completely awake. Thinking of what he just saw, even if he was young, he blushed with shame.
After Shui Lianggong was shocked by Han Qi's Huang-level intermediate technique, he immediately ordered:
"The entire army must look away and look at the ground!"
Although they were rescued in a short period of time, many soldiers still fell into the snow. According to a rough estimate, there should be seven to eight thousand people. After the losses in the past few days, 170,000 people were lost, and now there are still about 150,000 left, with Han Qi and Shui Lianggong each accounting for about half.
Although the attack just now allowed Han Qi to regain a little face, Han Qi was still a little restless in the face of the continuous sharp decrease in the number of troops. We were just about to reach the place where the treasure was hidden, but we had already lost almost 30,000 people. I'm afraid that upon arrival, less than 20% will be left.
Shui Lianggong on the side saw Han Qi's thoughts and said with relief: "Brother Han, don't worry, we are almost to the place where the treasure is hidden, and we will get the treasure soon. Could it be that those thousand-year-old treasures can't bear the loss of tens of thousands of people?" ?"
"Hey, I hope you don't disappoint me... Now that we're here, let's move on." Han Qi, who was already in a dilemma, said helplessly.
So the army began to move forward again. The difference was that all the soldiers lowered their heads and could only look at the ice. The shadows that were dispersed by the mighty wave of the cold flag began to gather again after a while, and continued to surround the army with their charming temptations. Although there was an order not to look at the phantom anymore, there were still soldiers who couldn't stand the fiery torment in their hearts and peeked. Therefore, from time to time in the marching army, there were still soldiers who were controlled by their minds and fell into the snow.
Ever since he woke up, Qiye has been staring at the ice, no longer tempted by the phantom of space. Qiye felt very ashamed that he had been seduced by the woman's beautiful ketone body just now. Even though he was young, ignorant, and inexperienced in the world, and had never seen the beauty of this beauty in the world, Qiye would never use these excuses to excuse his indulgence. It was an indisputable fact that he was deceived. A cultivator with high moral character and respect can keep his true heart in the face of temptation, not be influenced by external things, and not burdened by false fame. It seems that he is still far away from that step!
The army marched into the night and finally passed through this charming snow swamp. Entering a solid ice field. As night approached and the road ahead was dangerous and unknown, the 150,000-strong army chose to set up camp on the edge of the ice sheet, and sent three additional batches of night patrols to take turns guarding.
