Remnant bones

Looking down at the cliff one step away, the airflow embracing each other in the deep canyon messed up my pure white hair.

"Cough, cough cough..." Tightening the thick robe on my body, I coughed a few times, and buried my face in the smooth and soft fox fur vest on my shoulders.This body is really getting worse...

Based on my usual habit of covering the surface of my body with CKL, there is no need for me to dress like this at this temperature.But now, the CKL in the body is becoming more and more unstable, and this method obviously no longer works.Moreover, once I get sick in this icy and snowy environment, my physique cannot be summed up in the word "trouble".As a last resort, I can only wrap myself into rice dumplings like this... Really, hey... Forget it, I was the one who wanted to come here.

I will never regret what I have decided.

After the readjustment of the experimental process was on track, I insisted on leaving the base again under the disapproving gaze of Orochimaru.Only this time, I didn't tell Junmaro and Shigego, but let Orochimaru hide the fact of leaving for me.The reason is that there are some important things that need to be dealt with. In fact, half of the reason is to participate in this Akatsuki party, and the other half is because... I want to go and see, the place where Orochimaru was born and raised.

Curiosity... I wonder how a "peaceful village" can cultivate geniuses like Orochimaru, and how they can use their "kindness" to drive these geniuses to a dead end!

This contradictory and complicated village... What kind of existence is it?

After all, he was born in an ancient family with tangled roots in his previous life.Even before that incident, my parents were such a gentle and loving couple, but this does not change the hypocrisy and complexity of the environment.Kindness, innocence, and purity... In my world, it's not praise, but ridicule and contempt.I never imagined that there would be a place in this world where light and shadow coexist as described in Orochimaru.

Go take a look... I still have some "time" while I'm at it.

As for why I made a detour to appear in this remote area of ​​the Snow Country at this moment, it was because of a medicinal herb.Not for me, but, Bai.

Although the formula has been written, there are many medicines on it, and if you don't cut it, you just need to find a doctor who is not bad.However, the ingredients of some medicines are extremely scarce, so they cannot be bought with money.And the goal of my temporary diversion this time is one of them.

Since we met by chance, it's just a detour, so let's get some more and send them to Bai.

She brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and her face became paler, but because of the cold wind blowing on her face, she was slightly flushed.Subconsciously squinting my silver eyes, I grasped my robe tightly and jumped forward lightly.

Immediately, the light-colored figure disappeared into the vast snow fog below.

This feeling...comfortably soothed my brows, I enjoyed the feeling of floating in the free fall, and couldn't help recalling my favorite sport in my previous life - high-altitude bungee jumping.I'm probably the only lunatic who still likes to play with heart disease... Hehe, really, it's exciting!

Passing through a layer of floating snow and fog, unlike the turbulent and strong airflow above, there is a silent and silent world below.

Looking at the strange rock wall that is moving upwards rapidly, I now know why I didn't see a herb picker on the way to such a rare and expensive herb.You must know that a single plant of this herb can be sold for more than 300 million yuan on the black market, which is enough for a family of three to live comfortably in this life, and there is no market for the price.If it is said that no one has thought about it, I am afraid no one will believe it!

It's just that now it seems that ordinary people can't make it up, but Jonin doesn't bother to make it up.

Based on visual inspection alone, this deep cliff is at least nearly 2000 meters high, and the herbal medicine should grow at the bottom of this cliff according to its habit.Relying on the rope, it is not impossible for the herb pickers who are known for climbing to go down, but the problem is the location of this cliff - the snow country with heavy snow all year round.

The constant low temperature throughout the year makes the land here a thick layer of frozen soil.In winter, the hardness of these frozen soils is not inferior to that of granite.The same is true for the hanging faces of the two walls of the cliff.In addition, after the accumulated white snow melted, it was frozen again because of the cooling, so repeated layer by layer, on the rock wall, you can't even see a little rock layer at this moment.Looking at the past, a piece of white ice is very spectacular.

But in the same way, ordinary knives don't take a little effort, and it's hard to leave marks on them now, let alone find a suitable footing for climbing.

Surprised and moved, on the way down, I stretched out my hand to caress the white jade-like cliff.Other than the biting chill and smooth touch, I didn't touch any protrusions that I could use to hold it in place.

This level of smoothness, coupled with the uneven thickness of the ice layer, is no wonder that ordinary people cannot get down.Even with the adsorption force of CKL, it is difficult to "catch" it without certain strength and skills.And usually people with this strength are mostly jounin.But most of Jonin's task rewards are more than one million. If there is no order, few people would take such difficult and "low-level" tasks!This estimate is the main reason for its price but no market.

Seeing that I was approaching the bottom of the cliff, I withdrew my thoughts and made a seal on my chest without haste: "Wind escape. Dance of empty cranes."

The wind-attributed CKL spewed upward from the soles of my feet. I held down the long hair that blocked my view due to the change of wind direction with one hand, and adjusted my falling posture.

With the help of the wind's recoil, the speed of descent was eased.I easily found a place to stay, and I floated down, but as soon as I landed, this person almost fell into the snow unexpectedly.The seemingly thin snow layer under the feet has accumulated a thickness of at least two meters!

It is indeed the most perfect... natural trap.

"Can't relax..." I couldn't help raising my left eyebrow, and I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong in time, and used the "treading water" technique to gather CKL on the bottom of my feet, and then I stood safely.

Only then did I have the opportunity to take a good look at this unknown world of ice and snow at the bottom of the cliff.

White snow, white icicles, white cliffs, white sky... This is the purest white world, like an endless white desert, except for white, you can't see any other colors.

At the bottom of the windless cliff, there are dots of ice crystals suspended in the air, covering everything here with a layer of misty white gauze.There are no birdsong, no green trees, even the sun is here, only white is left... It is beautiful, but very lonely.

I frowned subconsciously. Although I have been used to wearing white clothes for many years, I still don't like this color.Empty, lifeless, especially such a large area...

I lowered my eyes and lost the mood to continue admiring. I began to look for an environment suitable for the growth of that herb, and desperately wanted to leave here in the shortest possible time.Looking at this color for a long time really affects the mood.

Comparing the information from the previous investigation in my heart, I slowly walked deeper inside while observing the clues hidden under the white snow.

It is very different from the cliff, the world at the bottom of the cliff seems to be completely isolated by the gray "sky" above the head - it is formed by the huge wind flowing in the middle, sweeping the falling white snow and leaking in the sky.Under the impact and low temperature, the snowflakes have basically turned into tiny ice particles. Just passing through the area with the least impact on the edge, there are a lot of ice slag on the tips of my hair.If it weren't for the CKL released at that moment, it would not be impossible for ordinary people to fall in the center of the strongest wind and be smashed into pieces by the ice.

Therefore, even if the bottom of the cliff is extremely calm at this moment, if there is any movement, except for the occasional huge snowballs blown down, there will only be... hailstones.

"Pa-ta!" Just as the above-mentioned analysis results were being drawn, a small black shadow brushed against the tip of my nose and smashed into the snow.

"..." Does this count as "crow's mouth"?

Looking at the small snow pit smashed by ice crystals under my feet, I was hesitating whether to find a place to "shelter".However, I soon discovered a strange place...

"Red?" A few ice crystals scattered from the sky, and I picked one up casually, and looked it up in my palm suspiciously.There are small dark agglomerates in the dark red color, accompanied by a faint fishy smell. This is... blood?

Following the extension direction of the distribution of small snow pits, I looked up and saw a dark figure falling rapidly on the "edge of the sky" without any surprise.

...This is, dumping the corpse?I raised my eyebrows lightly, I really didn't expect that something that I had never encountered in my previous life would happen to me in this kind of shitty place.

It's just that I have never been a "warm-hearted and kind person" who took the initiative to save people?impossible.Not in the mood to join in the fun.Falling from a cliff of this height, he was injured. It would be nice to leave a whole body after landing.

What's more... I have no reason to save him.

It's just... the inexplicable palpitations made me subconsciously look in the direction where he fell.Immediately, a discovery made my face darken suddenly; "Damn it!" Why is it not good for him to fall somewhere, but he just fell to "that place"! ?

Ignoring the previous "inaction theory", I stepped onto the ice wall in a few steps and rushed over at my fastest speed.Due to the excessive momentum, I stepped on the solid thick ice and even made a clear footprint. I didn't even use the blinking technique, and I appeared on the way of the dark figure falling.

After spotting the target, I stretched out my hand and grabbed the other party's collar tightly.As a result, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a "crash", and the huge force of the fall made me stagger, but it only slightly slowed down his speed. All I caught was a piece of rag.

With the sound of "click" that followed, mixed with the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, I froze there in a daze.

Looking at the blood-stained and broken white cloak in my hand, the corners of my eyes twitched, and I faced my eyes with a stiff expression, red, green and green all over the place.

For a long time, for the first time in his life, he uttered a low mantra of gnashing his teeth without demeanor: "I KAO!"

white busy...
