Zombie is pregnant with my baby

"Where is this? Have we crossed? Is the treasure that group of people are looking for here?"

"...the secret of longevity?"

"It was so unlucky when I first came here. I encountered a blizzard as soon as I came here. Wow, I almost didn't freeze to death. This is thanks to my hand touching your knife before. Although my hand was swollen and turned into a bun, my whole body was hot. Otherwise, I will freeze to death that night..."

"Brother Xiao and I found a 'safe haven' to hide for the whole night, oh my god, who knew that this 'safe haven' was actually alive, it was such a big spider, we slept under it... almost killed Scared to death."

"We are wrapped in fox fur. It's a crime. It's not intentional killing... Only one of them was caught after several times of siege. Don't look at the skin has been poked a few holes, it's quite warm."

"What!!!??? You made the clothes on your own? Patriarch Xiao Qi, you made them?"

Xu Zhuo widened his eyes, looked up and down at Qi Hao in front of him, with an expression of disbelief, "I really didn't know Patriarch Xiao Qi that you are so virtuous."

"Yo Yo Yo, this craftsmanship is too good..."

……

Qi Hao and Xie Xiao talked to each other about the situation they met these days, and neither of their two teams met Boss Chen's people here.

"Maybe they didn't come in, or maybe they were killed by snow wolves long ago... This place is really dangerous."

Ah Yu let out a drowsy yawn.

Qi Hao retracted his expression, and nodded to Xie Xiao and Xu Zhuo, "We are going under the ice tree ahead."

"You mean that huge ice tree, there is a secret medicine under the tree that can make people live hundreds of years longer?"

"Who knows."

Qi Hao is not interested in these things.

They continued to move forward, but were blocked by the icy lake in front of them. The icy lake under the gray-blue sky was like a smooth mirror, and only when the wind blew by, did it have a little ripple.

Very peaceful and beautiful lake.

"Why doesn't it freeze? Could it be a hot spring?"

Qi Hao squatted down by the water bank, stretched out his hand to explore the lake water, the icy cold water pierced his finger like a thin needle.

"How is it? Is it a hot spring?"

Qi Hao shook his head, "Ice water."

"Hastily... This is too cold, touch it with your hand, it's colder than ice, it's already this temperature, why doesn't it freeze?!" Xu Zhuo also squatted down and stretched out his hand to test the water in front of him. temperature.

He was so cold that his nose was running down.

Xu Zhuo sucked and rubbed his nose.

"Then how do we get there, go around, but I think it seems to be a circle... Can you swim? Let me see which warrior can swim over..."

Qi Hao stared at the water in front of him, and the next second, he began to take off his clothes, Xu Zhuo quickly jumped out to dissuade him, "Are you really planning to go into the water? Even if you don't freeze to death, your legs will cramp and sink to the bottom in the water, right?" , should we think of other ways? It would be great if we could find the bridge..."

Ayu took Qi Hao's hand and shook his head at him.

"Ayu?"

Ayu rubbed his eyes wearily, he lowered his head and rubbed against Qi Hao's shoulder, whispering a word: "Wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Okay." Qi Hao hugged Ayu in his arms, "Let's wait together, do you want Ayu to sleep first?"

"Hao... I'm so tired, I'll sleep on your shoulder for a while." Ayu rested her head on the other's right shoulder and closed her eyes weakly.

"Go to sleep."

"You must always be by my side, and when I wake up, I must see you."

"Don't worry, I will always hold you." Qi Hao lowered his head and kissed his soft earlobe lightly.

Half an hour later, the surface of the water began to bubble out.

Xu Zhuo jumped up excitedly, "Hastily, something popped out?"

Qi Hao patted the back of the person in his arms, and looked calmly at the lake ahead.

A giant black turtle emerges from the icy water.

Its turtle back is huge, about the size of a round table. The black turtle shell is covered with dense tortoise patterns. Its head is floating on the water surface, and its black eyes are a little dull, as if emerging from the water in ignorance. But I don't know what to do.

Ayu woke up from Qi Hao's arms.

The four of them walked onto the back of the turtle, and the four of them squeezed together, barely able to sit firmly on the back of the turtle.

Xu Zhuo shook his legs tremblingly, "Such a big tortoise, damn, it's so exciting, it's the first time in my life to ride a tortoise..."

"Hey, do you feel like we're a group of people traveling to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures? We won't overturn halfway, will we?"

Xie Xiao tapped him on the head, "Say something good."

Qi Hao put his arms around A Yu's waist and wrapped his body with a thick snow wolf skin. A Yu was afraid of cold and water, even if he was "riding" a turtle across the river, Qi Hao was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

After they sat down, the giant black tortoise dragged its four legs and swam in the icy water.

The speed of the tortoise swimming with them was very slow, but very steady. They could hardly feel any shaking. Even Xu Zhuo, who was terrified to death before, couldn't help but let go of his hands clasped on the back of the tortoise. He looked around wait and see.

Qi Hao has no other thoughts in mind, he just wants to reach Bingshu as soon as possible.

Don't make any mistakes in the middle.

"Shhhhhhhhh-"

"呲呲-"

……

When the tortoise carried them to the middle of the water, an accident happened. Dense maroon figures began to appear on the originally calm lake. Those maroon dots were like sesame seeds scattered in the water, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Is this a fish?"

"No, be careful!" The strange fish with maroon crests jumped out of the water, opened their sharp teeth, and bit towards their direction.

Qi Hao swung the phoenix knife across the air, and killed a strange fish under the knife; Xie Xiao drew out the short knife at his waist, and stared at the strange fish on the water with piercing eyes; The crowned fish bit the raised head.

"Ahhh, my leg." Xu Zhuo hugged the slippery body of the fish with both hands, and took a lot of effort before throwing the fish into the water.

A piece of flesh had been bitten off of his ankle.

Bright red blood gurgled out from the wound and fell into the water along the lines on the turtle's back.

"Grass, this is actually a piranha!"

After the blood entered the water, the crown fish in the ice water became more frenzied and restless. They kept rushing towards them, and there were dense shadows of them both in the water and on the surface of the water.

The huge tortoise was knocked to one side by this group of crown fishes, and the four people on the back of the tortoise were almost thrown off.

Qi Hao pressed Ayu to his side, picked up the blade and kept harvesting the heads of this group of crown fishes. With a few "srusses", the maroon crowns were cut off by him, and they fell into the water one after another with a "plop plop".

"There are so many strange fish, Mr. Turtle can't leave, this place is too dangerous..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Zhuo felt that his experience in the past few months could be used to write a fantasy novel.

As soon as Xu Zhuo's words came to an end, the giant tortoise, which had been bitten countless times, shook its limbs and retracted its limbs and head in a "puchipuchi".

Qi Hao was startled, and immediately hugged Ayu in his arms.

The black turtle's back sank into the water, and the icy cold water flowed over the ankles of Qi Hao and others, and the biting cold chilled their backs.

"Oops, I have to confess here!"

"Hao...bring me the flute." Ayu, who was buried in Qi Hao's arms, lifted his head and said weakly, Qi Hao's face was tense, and his fine black hair stuck to his temples.

Qi Hao handed over the cracked sapphire flute to Ayu.

Ayu closed her eyes, and gently played the melodious flute sound on the cold water. When the flute sounded, the surroundings were quiet, and all the noises stopped. Only this beautiful melody was on the water surface. Spread out like ripples.

The giant tortoise stretched out its limbs again, and the crown fish sank into the water, following behind the giant tortoise like a red swimming fish.

They did not attack again.

Qi Hao hugged the person in his arms, couldn't help closing his eyes, and listened attentively to the music played by the other party.

Ah Yu's songs always make him feel at peace, as if all the anxiety, worry, boredom... are taken away from his body.

Some liquid fell on the back of Qi Hao's hand.

tick...

Qi Hao suddenly opened his eyes, the blood in his whole body froze at that moment, and his whole body seemed to fall into an abyss.

The dark red blood dripped down the flute to the back of his hand, his pale lips were dyed red, and the other's black hair completely turned into snow hair.

"Ayu!" Qi Hao's heart was about to burst, he looked at the person in his arms in panic, his hands kept shaking, he was afraid that the person in his arms would disappear in the next second.

He picked up a strand of Ayu's hair, the color was three points grayer than Baixue, how could it be?

"Ayu, what's wrong with you?"

Ayu could no longer hold the sapphire flute in his hand, and the jade flute fell into his arms. He was exhausted to the extreme, and raised his head with the remaining strength in his body, looking at his beloved.

Hot things fell from the opponent's eyes and spread on his cheeks.

Ayu raised his hand to touch the other person's face. At this time, his body was aging rapidly. He opened his mouth and said the last sentence in a weak voice, "I want to sleep..."

"Ayu! Ayu!"

They got off the turtle's back.

Qi Hao hugged the person in his arms and walked forward silently, Xie Xiao and Xu Zhuo followed closely behind, even Xu Zhuo, who used to be unable to hold back a word, did not say a word at this time.

It was cold and windy, and it started snowing again.

Xu Zhuo hesitated for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Qi Hao, do you want to wear a hat?"

Qi Hao shook his head, letting the snowflakes fall on his head, and a group of people rushed up the mountain against the wind and snow.

At last they came under the great ice tree.

"This……"

What surprised Xu Zhuo was not the tall icy trees in front of him, but the row of small bushes frozen in the ice in front of him. Those small bushes were no higher than their knees, but their appearance...

It is exactly the same as the "snake vine wood" in the altar of the Muyi people.

The endless mahogany that makes Xu Zhuo have nightmares.

Even the pocket version gave Xu Zhuo goose bumps all over his body.

"How could there be..."

"—that's poinciana."

Ayu, who was in Qi Hao's arms, woke up suddenly. He asked Qi Hao to put himself on the ground, and gently raised his hand to stroke the white snow off the other's head, "The fruit it bears is what Boss Chen and the others want."

"The sacred fruit that John said can make people live 300 years longer?"

"probably……"

"Originally there were nine plants, but now there are only six plants left."

"It needs to be watered by the morning dew from the western mountains before it can bloom and bear fruit."

Xu Zhuo: "Mistgrass, didn't it mean that three plants were dug up, so the snake vines in the altar of the Muyi people were dug out from here? They watered it with human flesh and blood for the purpose of..."

"Ayu." Qi Hao stared at the person in front of him. Since the other person woke up, he felt that Ayu was different from before.

The other party's snow-white long hair hung down his head, and his eyes were originally as clear as water, but now they looked like fine wine that has been brewing for many years.

"Hao, after falling asleep, I suddenly remembered many things."

"I remembered our encounter in the tomb, I remembered the Qishan flower you gave me...even more distant things, I remembered all the memories."

"The past, everything."

Qi Hao looked at him worriedly, "Ayu..."

"The phoenix lamp is about to go out, so I..." I remembered everything.

"Ayu, tell me how to light the Phoenix Lantern and the Phoenix Lantern."

Ayu raised the corners of his mouth and gave a shallow smile. This weak smile was like pear petals being blown down in the cold wind. He softly said three words: "Phoenix fire."

"When the phoenix fire ignites this sycamore tree, the phoenix lamp and the phoenix lamp will burn again."

"Where do I go to find the Phoenix Fire?"

Ayu looked at him tenderly and affectionately, "You don't need to bother looking for it, because..."

"Prince Yu gave the Phoenix Fire to his favorite person when he was 17 years old."
