to blame

As soon as Ming Xia's second arrow hit the string, Jiu Xiao's hand had already crossed the top of the platform and grabbed Ming Xia directly.

Even if it was a monster's hand, Ming Xia had never seen one that could stretch so long at once.Ming Xia hurriedly backed away, bumping his back against the wall.He made a decisive decision, threw himself on the ground and rolled, and rushed towards the half-open door.

Before his hand touched the door, he felt something wrapped around his ankle, pulling him back forcefully.

The ground was covered with dust, but it was as smooth as a mirror. Ming Xia scratched the ground but couldn't catch anything that prevented him from being dragged.He watched helplessly as a long mark stretched out in front of him, while the bow, arrow and dagger were thrown far away in another corner, out of his reach.

Ming Xia tried hard to turn around, but he couldn't complete a turning movement during the rapid skating.It wasn't until he felt a sharp pain in his calf that he realized that he had hit the edge of the platform in the center of the tomb.In a flash, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the platform.

The sudden burst of pulling power made his eyes go black, and his hands almost lost consciousness.Ming Xia didn't even know what he was insisting on.

Will Jiuxiao kill him if he catches him?Probably not, because he is the host.But he still didn't want to be dragged to Jiuxiao's side in a gesture of submission.

To Ming Xia, that was tantamount to a gesture of admitting defeat.

Ming Xia's eyes turned black, and his hands that were gripping the platform tightly gradually lost their strength.Worst of all, he heard very light footsteps from behind.

Jiu Xiao walked towards him.

In the next second, his neck was caught and he was pulled up from the ground forcefully.

Ming Xia's eyelashes were stained with blood, his vision was somewhat blurred, and there seemed to be a tide rushing up to his ears, but amidst the din of voices, Jiu Xiao's voice still broke through the chaos in his mind like a sharp blade.

"Do as I say."

"If you want to kill me, you have to wait until you have the ability."

"Go and kill the Eagle King, and bring me her demon pill."

For a while, Ming Xia felt his body fly up for a short while, and then fell headfirst to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The bitter wind whistled past his ears, and he seemed to have crashed into a strange and strange world suddenly.

"Mingxia."

Ming Xia's eyelashes moved, and she opened her eyes with difficulty.

It was so pure and icy that even his eyelashes were covered with fine particles of ice.He propped up his upper body and sat up with difficulty.

He found himself lying on a vast ice field, with snow as far as he could see, mountains undulating in the distance, and the steep peaks outlined a few bluish hard lines on the silent snow white, It became more and more obvious that this vast snowfield was full of chilling and stern atmosphere.

And above the head is the blue sky, without a cloud, just like a piece of fine sapphire.

Ming Xia stood on the spot and turned around, not understanding why he came here suddenly.Under his feet, the place where he had been lying clearly showed a human figure, some places had melted snow, and some places were stained with faint blood color.

"What the hell is this place?"

"Mingxia."

Ming Xia was taken aback, then turned around again, "Who?"

"I'm Qingtan." The man's voice was clear and rang in his mind with the vigor unique to young people, "I want to remind you that you can't stay here for more than a day and a night."

Ming Xia was at a loss, "Where is this?"

"It's Diao Wang's real seal." Qing Tan patiently explained to him, "If it wasn't for Jiu Xiao, neither you nor I could have come in here."

"The one on the platform..." He clearly remembered that he walked into a tomb-like room, and in the center of the room lay the body of the Eagle King.

"That's just an imaginary image, or a door." Qing Tan said: "The power of the seal is very strong, and ordinary monsters, humans, and even Diao Wang himself cannot open it."

Thinking about it this way, Jiu Xiao is indeed very powerful.

"The main body of the Eagle King is sealed here?" Ming Xia tried to take two steps, the snow covered his calves, and there was a creaking sound when he stepped on it, "What will happen after a day and a night?"

"Will stay here forever."

Ming Xia, "..."

One space is connected to another, Ming Xia thought to himself, the world of monsters is really complicated.

Ming Xia walked slowly, "Can I go out now? Doesn't it mean a day and a night? The door should be open now, right?"

"The door is open, but there are wolves outside." Qingtan reminded him, "Jiu Xiao is waiting outside the door."

"He can open the door, why don't you come in and look for it yourself?"

"His ability is only enough to open the seal. For the Yaozu, it is very troublesome for the Yaozu to be broken, and it needs a lot of energy to repair. I guess the energy obtained by swallowing the water scorpion before Jiuxiao is taken away. The demon pill has been repaired. So when he realized that you were near the seal of the Eagle King, he couldn't sit still."

Ming Xia couldn't help laughing, he couldn't imagine what it would be like for a guy as cold and cold as Jiu Xiao to be drooling.

"You said he has absorbed enough energy, will he leave by himself?" This is the question Ming Xia wants to know the most.

"If it were me, I wouldn't." Qingtan said bluntly: "You probably don't know that you have the blood of the demon clan. It's an obvious atavism phenomenon. You are considered a half-demon, a type of person who is very suitable for cultivation."

Ming Xia looked at his gray and blood-stained hands, and didn't feel like a monster at all.

"We don't know where Jiuxiao's body is hidden. He is desperately trying to mend the demon pill. He is probably in the same situation as me. He wants to heal his injuries as soon as possible." Qingtan said: "If his energy body is strong enough, he should be able to Swallow up the body of the host, and make it an avatar outside of your own body. This process is similar to seizing your body, and it will swallow up your consciousness—your consciousness is also a source of energy for him.”

Ming Xia felt cold, "I thought I had a villain's heart and thought of people too darkly...Damn it, I'm so kind. Compared with these beasts, I'm just a pure white angel."

Qingtan laughed loudly, "I seem to know why that little bastard Qingqiu likes you so much."

Ming Xia sighed melancholy, he also missed Qingqiu.Well, by the way, I also miss his comrades, Nan Jiang, Li Youran...

"Where is this?" He wanted to know if this seal was still in Umeda?

"It's sealed in Nine Mu Umeda, that's right." Qing Tan said, "However, the icy and snowy land we see now is the image reflected in Diao Wang's subconscious mind. Or, this is the scene she most wants to see. .”

Ming Xia felt that it was freezing to death just now, but as he walked, it didn't seem so cold anymore.It's just that the glare from the snow made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't the Eagle King hate the extreme north? Erfei also said that she really wants to fight for a more fertile fief."

"Who knows." Qing Tan said nonchalantly: "Aren't many human beings like this too? While being tired of their birthplace, the direction of their life's efforts is to escape from their hometown. In my hometown, I still talk about returning fallen leaves to their roots... I have never understood your human minds."

Ming Xia complained in her heart, I also don't understand the thoughts of your monster race.

an hour later.

Ming Xia squatted on the ground covering his face and sighed, "I'm going blind. Where should I go? Do I have to go back the same way later?"

Where to go, Qingtan doesn't know.He can be regarded as a person who has traveled all over the world and seen the world, but he has no chance to visit the sealed place of monsters. To be honest, he never thought that there is such a large space inside the seal.

Ming Xia was a little anxious, moved her fingers subconsciously, and really wanted to find something to hold in her arms and touch.

"My energy is not stable," Qingtan comforted him, "but I can share some of it on your eyes, which can protect your eyes from being stabbed by the snow light."

Ming Xia felt something like warm water flowing over his eyelids, and when he opened them again, his eyes really didn't feel so uncomfortable.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qing Tan said: "Actually, I was hiding in your body, and I was practicing in Jiuxiao, and I also absorbed a lot of spiritual energy... Oh, you call it energy. Also, the energy in your body, I have more or less Absorbed..."

Qing Tan was a little embarrassed when she said that, "I owe you favors, if there is anything I need to do in the future, just ask."

"It's okay." When Ming Xia first heard the news about Qingtan, she was a little concerned.But his temperament was careless, and he never felt uncomfortable, so he didn't care about it after a long time.

Ming Xia took another two steps, then stopped suddenly, "You can absorb energy..."

Qingtan, "..."

There is an embarrassment of being seen through.

Ming Xia's mood suddenly jumped up, "This is great! Let's go to the Eagle King, if we can kill her, you can swallow her, maybe you can come out in no time, Qingqiu will be very happy! "

Qingtan said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I also had this idea just now."

Ming Xia couldn't help laughing, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, I can only say that you and I wanted to go together."

Qingqiu is the link between them, with it, Mingxia and Qingtan must be together.

"You or him, who is stronger?"

Qingtan thought for a while, "If I recover to the best condition, probably... I can barely survive."

Ming Xia, "..."

Well, in this way, Qingtan's existence can be regarded as a very lucky one.

Qingtan was seriously injured back then, his energy fluctuations were very weak, and he was in a dormant state all year round, and he was a shrewd businessman with a meticulous mind and rich social experience, so in the early years, Jiu Xiao failed to discover him—maybe he was a little suspicious , but some clues did not allow him to find evidence of the existence of Qingtan.

As for now...

Qingtan doesn't care much about what he knows or not, it's even better if he knows.For the sake of the stupid junior brother, he also wants to protect Ming Xia.

Qingtan suddenly laughed, "Ming Xia, did you think of me when you said he threw you in?"

Ming Xia was taken aback.

Do you have?

Probably not.Seeing his distraught look just now, he was probably only thinking about how to get Ming Xia to work for him.Ming Xia imagined Jiu Xiao's expression when he came back to his senses, and felt a special kind of refreshment in his heart.

On the vast snowfield, a small black spot moved with difficulty.

Ming Xia looked at his watch, two hours had passed, he seemed to have walked a long way, but looking back, his position didn't seem to have changed significantly.

Ming Xia stopped panting, casually made a ball of snow and put it in his mouth.

Snow is sweet.

Ming Xia was stunned, and when she tasted it carefully, there was indeed a hint of sweetness on the tip of her tongue.

Qing Tan said, this is the world projected in Diao Wang's consciousness.So... In her heart, is the snow in her hometown sweet?
