The mountain ghost blows out the lights

"I have to warn you, there are spiders on the mountain, and there are many, very many." Venado opened the door, faced Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping, and warned, "I only have a handful of useless bones left. I'm not interested, but I like young men like you the most."

"I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain. Try it out, and come with me if you're not afraid of death."

She said the last sentence to Yan Jinping.

At first, Yan Jinping suspected that she knew herself, but now she knew that she should not, otherwise she would not use this method to test the abilities of the two.

"What do you think?" Mrs. Bone had already left first, and seeing that the direction was Langyin Mountain, Yan Jinping turned to look at Shen Lianxing, asking for his opinion.

"...Let's go?" Shen Lianxing rubbed the fan bone unconsciously with his fingers. He looked at Wei Naduo's empty back, lowered his eyelids, and sighed silently.

Things may not be as simple as she said, if such a big seal is to be made, a huge price must be paid, both of them understand.

But Venado didn't mention it.

... I can only follow up and have a look.

Mrs. Bones didn't mean to lead them the way.

Her walking speed was clearly not fast, but her figure was erratic, she was still in front of her eyes when she saw it just now, but she was in the distance in the blink of an eye, and she only saw a graceful and graceful figure from her back.

Seen from behind, she was covered by a skirt, so she couldn't tell that she was a skeleton, and the beautiful patchwork skirt swayed and bloomed with her walking movements, like a brightly colored flower.

Going further, even the obvious white bones can't be seen clearly. Venado seems to be an ordinary girl who is too thin, standing lightly on the snow, pacing unhurriedly, with a leisurely attitude, feeling down. I will stop in a second to pick a wild flower by the roadside.

It's a pity that there are no wild flowers on the side of the road, only the vast white snow and dead branches all over the place. I don't know how long it has been lying here. When touched by the hem of the skirt, it will be broken into fine powder and quickly buried by frost and snow.

The girl had obviously walked countless times, and she was familiar with the way up the mountain, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

She had already said that she would wait for them at the top of Langyin Mountain, and pointed out the location of the mountain, also with the meaning of a little investigation.

If the two of them can't even go up the mountain, then she can't expect them to help her get the clean fire.

In the small enchantment, the spring is warm and the flowers are fragrant. In the big enchantment, the sun never sets and is bright all day long, but the air is so cold that it seems to freeze people's souls.

As soon as the two walked out of the small valley, they returned to the lifeless ice and snow field.

There is no wind in the snow-capped mountains, but the coldness is like countless sharp knives, penetrating into people's limbs and bones, using the blades to peel off their skin and flesh little by little, and the flesh and bones.

If a real mortal came in, maybe within a quarter of an hour, he would leave his life forever in this boundless snow mountain.

Yan Jinping is fine, even if he is temporarily weak, he will not be overwhelmed by this insignificant cold.While releasing the tiger again, he said to Shen Lianxing, "Do you think she is trustworthy?"

He was referring to Venado. Although she just told the two of them an extremely moving story, this was their first meeting after all, and no one knew how much of what she said was true.

Besides, she is still a skeleton, and it is almost impossible to correctly judge the authenticity of the language without seeing the subtle expressions on her face.

The spiders in the snow-capped mountains can deceive people, but who said the bones in the snow-capped mountains can't?

"I don't think she's lying." Shen Lianxing thought for a while and analyzed, "But she must have blurred some things on purpose. For example, what method is she going to use to strengthen the seal? Why did Jinghuo go crazy? Who is He Rong? She clearly knows all this, but she refuses to tell us."

Venado... How did she change from a member of the Fire Watchers to the famous Lady of Bones?

The embroidered tiger that was released again looked at the destination of the two, whimpered and refused to put itself on the sled, Yan Jinping patted its head, and it was reluctantly kicked out by the tiger and put its head on the rack in aggrieved way. into the noose.

"We're the outsiders if we really turn around." Yan Jinping got on the sled and said, "It's not necessary for her to tell us all the arrangements, maybe she is also guarding against us."

Everyone is out and about, and no one has less eyes than the other. It seems that Venado has already put his heart and soul into the two of them, but it is understandable that he is on guard.

After all, they don't tell people everything.

"That's right." Shen Lianxing touched his chin, took off the glove on his left hand, and exposed his lower arm.He adjusted some mechanisms on his arm, and changed the Ming Ghost Fan into a small crossbow. After getting ready, he continued, "Go up the mountain first, and everything will be easy to talk about after going up."

No matter what guesses they have, they have to see the fire before making any plans.

The tiger obviously anticipated the danger in the future, or it might have smelled the smell of spiders. The spider that emerged from the snow just now left a great psychological shadow on it. Walk.

However, his life was in his hands, so he couldn't do anything if he didn't listen, so he ran and cried, sobbing, with a rough voice, like a strong man acting like a baby, which sounded very inappropriate.

Yan Jinping: "..."

He was also a little troubled by the tiger's character, so he held his temper and discussed with the tiger in a good voice: "Can you calm down?"

"Don't worry." Shen Lianxing also echoed, "The two of us know that, although there are many spiders in front of us, we won't let them hurt you."

When the tiger heard the words, he cried for a while, and then he seemed to see his miserable future from Shen Lianxing's promise, and cried even more sadly on the spot.

Yan Jinping: ...

He patted Shen Lianxing's arm, and said to him helplessly, "Please, Mr. Shen, you'd better shut up."

Shen Lianxing didn't make a mistake, he did it purely on purpose, now Yan Jinping stopped him, closed his mouth and smiled, his brows were hideously handsome.

Langyin Mountain is not far from Changchun Valley.It is said that it is a snow mountain, but it is not completely white. The edges and corners of the mountain peaks are sharp, and only the sunken places have snow accumulation, and they are often stumbled.Fortunately, the long light is not a real sled, and it doesn't have to be run on the snow, otherwise the two have to walk for a while and then get down to lift a section, so that they can move forward normally here.

All the way to the foot of the mountain, I didn't see Venado's footprints, and there was only a line of sledge marks on the snow when they came.

Maybe she took another shortcut and went up the mountain first.

Longin Mountain is not too steep, it is a raised peak in a series of mountains, and the place where the two of them are now is not necessarily the foot of the mountain, in fact there is still some distance from the ground.

Yan Jinping looked up. Although the weather was clear, he still couldn't see anything on the top of the mountain from this angle.

I can't see the net fire, nor can I see the legendary cracks and spiders. It seems that it's useless to just stand in place and analyze it. You still have to climb up to take a look.

The two made all the preparations, put away the cowardly tiger who had been pardoned, and began to climb to the top of the mountain.

Longin Mountain is actually not difficult to climb. Although the cliff is high, the slope is gentle.There is even a very simple mountain road in the mountain, leading to the top of the mountain faintly.

Said to be climbing, in fact, this difficulty is closer to walking.

The mountain road is much smoother than the previous ground, and it looks like someone stepped on it year after year, day after day.Maybe people used to come here often before, but they disappeared later, and they were not completely buried by the snow, which made it easier for people who came later.

Yan Jinping walked on the road and remembered the story of Venado.

There used to be a family of fire watchers living here. They were proficient in enchantment and guarded the safety of Jinghuo for generations. They were the predecessor of Evergreen City.

Where did they all go?

In the story of Venado, after the earthquake a hundred years ago, a large number of man-eating spiders poured out from the cracks, so what about the people in Changchun Valley?

Did they all escape?

Being attacked by spiders and fleeing outside the snow mountain, the remaining people built the original Evergreen City at the foot of the snow mountain... Logically speaking, things should develop like this.

But he always felt that something was not right.

It's just that those stories from the past can't be traced back to now. People who lived a hundred years ago have died in the past, and no one remembers the things that were deliberately concealed except Venado.

As for Venado, obviously she didn't want to say it.

There are still some plants on the periphery of the snow mountain - even if it is a wreck, it can be regarded as something other than snow.But there is nothing here, except the white snow, that is, the bare land.

What is exposed is basically rock, with very little soil.The rocks are a little unnaturally red, like rust, which is spotted on the rough stone surface, adding an ominous color to the snow mountain.

The road was easy to walk, and the two walked quickly. They soon followed the path left by the predecessors to the middle of the mountain. Nothing happened. There were neither monsters in the abyss nor spiders in ambush, and the surroundings were quiet. It looks like some kind of conspiracy is brewing.

But no, both of them are one-to-one keen characters, since neither of them found out, then there is no.

"Didn't Wenado say that there are many, many spiders on this mountain?" Shen Lianxing stopped.Holding on to the rock, he looked around and saw nothing but snow, "How come we haven't seen anything until now?"

What about the spider?Where did it go?

"There are two possibilities." Yan Jinping also stopped, and he looked up at the top of the mountain. This time, he could see a vague black shadow on the top of the mountain. The shape was very irregular. It looked like a cave. Another taller thing seems to be a tree, but the sunlight is so strong that people can't see it clearly.

"Either the news from Venado is outdated and the spiders have given up their leader, or...they really all gathered on the top of the mountain, only one was walking down the mountain and was bumped into by us, so we didn't see it all the way. " He curled the corner of his mouth and asked Shen Lianxing with a slight smile.

"Which one do you think it will be?"

Is this still a guess?Shen Lianxing sighed and didn't answer him.

The answer is obvious.

Shen Lianxing took out a small arrow from his sleeve—the kind he used to kill spiders before, then rolled up the left sleeve, took off the glove, folded it, and exposed the complicated arm underneath, and the arrow wrapped around it. Those roots on the arm.

Jianmu Genxu seemed to know what he wanted to do, and moved as he wished, stepping back slightly to let out the intricate surface of the prosthetic, with a row of shallow grooves on the surface.

Shen Lianxing twisted the handful of small arrows into a row, and embedded them in the grooves flat. The arrows were dark green, with the tips pointing outwards, wrapping around his forearm obediently, like a dangerous gauntlet that had been poisoned. , also like some kind of alien scales.

If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to play with the poisonous arrows like him.But after all, Shen Lianxing's arm was made of wood as a whole, no matter how careless he was, there was no possibility of accidentally injuring himself.

"What is this?" Yan Jinping was already very familiar with him at this time, so he didn't pay attention to those useless etiquette.He glanced at Shen Lianxing and touched the front of his wrist curiously.

Probably out of the consideration of the flexibility of movement, Shen Lianxing's left hand palm and arm were designed to be a spherical shape. The proportions of this part were not exactly the same as those of the other hand, and the wrist was more slender. Then he circled it with his index finger and thumb. His fingers were long and wrapped around Shen Lianxing's wrist, which could directly touch his fingertips.

The sphere is controlled by some metal chains similar to chain belts to turn up, down, left, and right, but now the function of the chain seems to be replaced by Jianmu seeds, and the thin roots lie on it, controlling the direction of the sphere by tightening and relaxing.

It turns out that this thing works under the gloves that you can't usually see.
