Forces of Temptation

Taking advantage of this time, the group of people staggered forward in the increasingly violent snowstorm.

Having seen the half-length woman's immortal body, no one believed that the small avalanche could really do any damage to these four monsters.

Therefore, they must make full use of this hard-won opportunity and expand it to their advantage as much as possible.

They trudge across the snow in a roundabout way.

Snow-capped mountains are inherently difficult, the snow is sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, some places can be crossed with a single step, and some places are more than half sunken with one foot.

Fortunately, everyone supports each other, and the speed of progress is not slow.

Everything is quiet, one step at a time, the snow is rustling.

Snow naturally has the property of absorbing sound and reflecting light.

The dazzling rotten silver all over the place makes people wearing snow goggles feel dizzy. In addition, in the climbing without knowing the way ahead, it is really hard not to feel a strong sense of loneliness and panic.

So everyone gets as close as possible, cheering each other up with body temperature and skin-to-skin contact.

Nan Zhou didn't let Jiang Fang carry it either, and followed behind the team silently.

Being led away by Liang Shu, Li Yinhang couldn't help but look back frequently, very worried about Nanzhou's physical condition.

Jiang Fang, who held Nan Zhou's hand gently in his own, started humming softly.

It's a Ukrainian folk song.

His voice is very good, and there is a slight sense of electricity in his hoarse voice, which is easily dispersed by the fresh and refreshing snow wind, but it falls into Nan Zhou's ears, and the voice is just right, light and soft. warm.

He Yinchuan, who was in the back of the palace, reminded: "Save oxygen."

Jiang Fang glanced at him, nodded and thanked him for his concern, and continued humming his song in a low voice.

Seeing Nan Zhou staggering, He Yinchuan guessed that his physical strength was about to run out. He wiped his cheeks, pinched his watch, and then gave the order: "Rest! 3 minutes!"

Nan Zhou was very obedient, and immediately sat down neatly on the ground, buried his face in his knees, and seized the time to straighten out his breathing and recover his strength.

He Yinchuan was used to fighting with his comrades-in-arms, so he snorted on his head, and said with a smile, "Young man, why are you so stupid."

Nan Zhou raised his face from the crook of his arms to look at him.

He breathed out big balls of snow-white mist, and snow frost formed on the tips of his hair, making his face even more beautiful without blood.

He Yinchuan looked at him helplessly.

He walked last, of course for the rear.

Second, he wanted to see what was so special about the person who made Lin Zhisong pay so much attention to him.

He once thought that Nan Zhou's weakness was just an act.

As a result, along the way, he looked horizontally and vertically, no matter how he looked at Nan Zhou, he felt that he was a smart and weak sick beauty, and his movements were even a little clumsy.

It's just that he has a better mind, so why does Lin Zhisong keep an eye on him?

He Yinchuan shook his head, wondering why Lin Zhisong was targeting Nanzhou.

However, Lin Zhisong was also thoughtful, and he refused to express his conjectures to them.

Thinking of this, He Yinchuan shook his head helplessly, walked forward, and checked the conditions of the others one by one.

Lu Bifang was first arranged to explore the road, and then followed the large army to march quickly, so his physical strength was naturally exhausted.

But he still had his responsibilities in mind, and as soon as he stopped, he looked at the trio of "Cubic Ark" out of breath.

Lu Bifang himself was panting like a bellows, but compared to Nan Zhou's low panting with a painful ending, it was much better.

He couldn't help but want to give him some comfort, but Jiang Fang held most of Nanzhou's body in his arms, patted and touched him tenderly, and he really couldn't find a place to intervene.

He had no choice but to remind from the side: "If you have thought about dungeons, your physical fitness... still needs to be practiced..."

Nan Zhou raised his head slightly again, almost unable to lift his head under the weight of the goggles: "...Thank you."

Lu Bifang smiled honestly and cutely: "You're welcome."

Nan Zhou put his hands on his knees and looked at his reflection in the snow.

The moon in the sky is like a huge searchlight, and the shadow shrinks timidly under his feet, leaving only a short section, almost nothing.

After watching silently for a while, he stood up abruptly.

...Then because of the weakness of his legs, he fell straight back.

Fortunately, Jiang Fang was quick to catch him, he put his toe on his knee, and hooked him into his arms.

The two hugged and rolled twice in the soft snowdrift before they managed to stop the downward trend.

He Yinchuan, who patrolled around and quarreled with Zhou Ao before turning back, looked at the two people who suddenly rolled together: "..."

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Nan Zhou raised his head from Jiang Fang's arms and said, "We can't keep walking like this."

He Yinchuan: "What can you do?"

Nan Zhou said, "Let's go separately."

He Yinchuan was the first to object: "No. We can't leave anyone behind."

Nan Zhou was out of breath, but there was an unquestionable look in his eyes: "This is not a discussion."

He Yinchuan stared at this weak but alert young man, worrying that he was afraid that his physical strength would drag down the team, and at the same time, a voice secretly told him that he was not such a naive and willing to die.

He Yinchuan: "Tell me about your arrangement."

Nan Zhou: "I, Brother Fang, leave you guys. The two teams, leave separately."

At that moment, "Bronze", who already had some tacit doubts about the identities of the two, combined with the tape recorder that was discovered before, immediately thought that they were aware that their identities were about to be revealed, and wanted to find an excuse to escape from the team.

Lin Zhisong approached a little closer, and breathed out a large amount of mist, covering the suspicious light in his eyes: "Where are you going?"

Although he asked "you", his eyes only fell on Nan Zhou.

Nan Zhou opened his mouth and said, "Look for a place on this mountain where we can camp."

... This is too much like a prevarication, an excuse to escape.

Liang Shu asked: "...Aren't you going to continue climbing?"

Nan Zhou: "It's pointless to climb up blindly."

Nan Zhou: "There may not be anything they really care about on the top of the mountain."

This is a bit nonsensical.

He Yinchuan frowned: "Didn't they say that the man-eating Luna is on the top of the mountain?"

Nan Zhou: "They also said that you can't offend the moon god, so they will kill whoever goes up the mountain."

Where the wind and snow pass by, there is silence.

He Yinchuan frowned: "You mean, they are lying?"

Nan Zhou said, "I don't know."

Nan Zhou said again: "But I know, they don't want us to go up the mountain."

... Isn't that obvious.

Nan Zhou said: "...But they often go up the mountain themselves."

In the conversation with them, they mentioned that they would patrol the mountain regularly.

It was precisely because they knew that this group of monsters would patrol the mountains that they had to give up their fantasy of staying in place, and chose to drive them away.

However, Nan Zhou, who had been watching the expressions of the three since then, found it strange.

... When they talked about patrolling the mountain, their eyes were all looking at the mountain together.

It seems that their duty is to patrol the distance from their camp to the top of the mountain.

As for the mountain, if there are no traces and evidence of the intruders, it is not worth their attention.

The evidence is that even when they believed their information and went down the mountain to search, they left two people to watch over Gu Xiaolou, lest they go up the mountain.

"What are they afraid of? So while threatening other climbers, there is a moon god on the mountain, and they are not allowed to go up the mountain; at the same time, they chase and kill those who really want to go up the mountain."

"So, maybe there's something important and inviolable to them on the mountain."

"That thing may not be on the top of the mountain, because if it is really on the top of the mountain, they can directly guard it."

"So, I want to look for a convenient place to camp and rest between the altitude of 4513 meters and the top of the mountain, and see if there are any clues."

It has to be said that even if Nanzhou really intends to find an excuse to leave the team, this is also a very good reason.

Moreover, Nanzhou's conjecture is just a conjecture.

This is not worth everyone's all out to verify.

The best way to deal with it is to assign two or three people to prove this conjecture. The main force is to climb mountains and seize high places.

He Yinchuan was speechless, and turned to Jiang Fang, "Do you want to go with him?"

Nan Zhou didn't ask Jiang Fang for his opinion just now, but now he also turned his head to look at him.

Jiang Fang smiled and shrugged: "My honor."

He Yinchuan sighed slightly, knowing that this meant that he couldn't be persuaded.

He could tell that although Jiang Fang was smart, he was a real Nanzhou supremacist.

He ordered backwards: "Xiao Lu—"

Jiang Fang waved his hand: "No need. The two of us can go."

... This is a decision to part ways with them.

Li Yinhang naturally knew which side he wanted to stand on.

She was about to follow, but was stopped by Nan Zhou's gesture.

He said plainly but directly: "I can't protect you now. Besides, Brother Fang is already very tired after only taking care of me."

Nanzhou turned to He Yinchuan and said, "Help take care of our Yinhang. We will pick up people after the mission is over."

Jiang Fang also smiled: "Yinhang, listen to them."

...The tone is like your parents coming to pick you up after school.

Li Yinhang stopped walking towards them, thought for a while, and responded obediently: "Oh."

He Yinchuan stared fixedly at Nan Zhou.

His eyes hidden under the light brown goggles are cold, emotionless, but clear.

He Yinchuan had an intuition that they didn't want to escape.

They really want to find another way to break the situation.

……

Looking at the backs of Nanzhou and Zhou who were lying on Jiang Fang's shoulders, Liang Shu asked Li Yinhang curiously: "Were you friends before?"

Li Yinhang answered truthfully: "No, we only met when we entered this game."

Lin Zhisong fixed her eyes: "Then how much do you know about them?"

The overtones of these undisguised words suddenly made Li Yinhang a little angry.

She didn't speak harshly, but clearly expressed her position: "—they are good people."

Liang Shu heard the disgust and resistance in her words, and bumped Lin Zhisong with his elbow, reminding him to restrain himself.

Lin Zhisong shut his mouth, but thought of Jiang Fang's action when he used an ice pick to drive into the back of the woman's heart.

Flow freely, without procrastination.

... Although the other party was not human, Jiang Fang didn't look like much either.

As for Nanzhou...

Lin Zhisong, who was always quite confident in his memory, felt annoyed for the first time.

He definitely, absolutely, has seen Nan Zhou before.

It's just that the impression was faint, just like now, when he looked at Nan Zhou's back through the heavy snow that was flying like goose feathers.

The shadows are only separated by a layer, but it is still difficult to find out the truth.

After choking on Lin Zhisong's words, Li Yinhang belatedly felt a little regretful.

I am still under their protection, why should I be so stiff.

Li Yinhang, a tenth-level scholar who hugged his thighs, took it easy, quickly read this chapter, and said, "Let's go."

……

On the vast snow peak, the eight tiny ants, who were already extremely small, went up and down, and then separated.

Not long after, the only thing that can confirm the existence of Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang between the heaven and the earth is the warmth of the intersection of their bodies.

Nan Zhou lay on Jiang Fang's back, with his legs wrapped around his waist.

He asked softly, "Am I heavy?"

Jiang Fang handed over a piece of compressed biscuit with one hand, and smiled at Yan Yan: "You can work hard from now on."

Nan Zhou hid behind him, nibbling the hard-frozen biscuits and brushing off the crumbs that fell on Jiang Fang's shoulders.

Like He Yinchuan, their goals are quite clear.

Flat, leeward, away from gravel and snow belts, with lowland streams.

In this area above 4000 meters above sea level, most mountaineering teams will charge to the top of the mountain in one go.

Therefore, there are not many positions that can meet the relevant conditions.

Nanzhou has almost recovered from the extreme muscle soreness and difficulty breathing.

He could have gone to the field and accompanied Jiang Fang on the journey.

But listening to Jiang Fang's slightly heavy and sluggish breathing close at hand, Nan Zhou touched the position of his heart.

...he didn't feel very well.

Is it because of the increased altitude and the closer distance to the moon?

He tugged at the corner of Jiang Fang's clothes: "Go to rest."

Jiang Fang asked him, "Tired?"

Nan Zhou: "Yes." You are tired.

So, Jiang Fang found a sheltered rock, which was just big enough for two people to hide, and then put the Nan Zhou down properly.

Because the angle of putting it down was not right, the shoulder straps of Jiang Fang's jacket caught Nan Zhou's winter hat and pulled his hat off.

Jiang Fang laughed, "Sorry."

He picked up the hat, uncovered Nan Zhou's goggles, propped up the brim of the hat, and gently slid his fingertips down along Nan Zhou's ears, putting the winter cap back in place.

However, not knowing where the impulse came from, Jiang Fang didn't stop.

He pulled his winter hat all the way down, covering his eyes.

... Only Nan Zhou's pale lips were exposed.

Nan Zhou didn't resist, but frowned in confusion in his blurred vision.

Jiang Fang took off his gloves.

The reason why he could make such a judgment when he couldn't see it was because Jiang Fang was gently touching his lips with his extremely hot fingertips.

Nan Zhou somehow felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

It seemed that at some point in the past, there was such a hand that made such movements towards him when his eyes were covered by foreign objects.

Rubbing and rubbing, fingertips lightly scraped the corners of his lips, and knuckles rubbed against his lips.

As if his lips were some great treasure.

The fresh and hot breath from his lips flowed back to Nan Zhou's face, which was just as familiar as before.

But...he vaguely remembered that the person who had done the same thing to him was obviously not as tired as Jiang Fang, but he was still panting slightly in front of him, as if he was about to lose his breath.

Nanzhou felt that this was really strange.

He even wondered if he just ate biscuits, and the corners of his mouth were stained with dross without knowing it.

But he still didn't move.

Jiang Fang didn't make any unnecessary moves.

After a while, he pulled back the hat that covered Nan Zhou's eyes.

Nanzhou's bright and clear eyes were able to see the light again.

Looking at him for a moment, Jiang Fang, who knelt in front of him on one knee, smiled, and covered his eyes with his cold palms: "Why don't you close your eyes? You can't rest."

Under the passing of the moonlight, Jiang Fang's smile carried a brilliant and heroic spirit that could be called stunning.

Nan Zhou's expression was still cold and indifferent.

Without saying anything, he picked up the glove he had thrown to his lap and put it on for him.

Jiang Fang naturally had no objection, and offered to put his hand in his arms.

Just as Jiang Fang was looking at his Ningxue's long eyelashes, his thoughts were full of emotions, out of the corner of his eyes, he accidentally caught a little afterimage in the snow falling all over the sky.

Jiang Fang reacted quickly, immediately pressed Nan Zhou's head, and hid with him behind the black rock.

Nan Zhou was accidentally pressed into a cross-fingered posture by him, and then he hugged him all over again.

He looked at Jiang Fang silently and in surprise.

Jiang Fang hissed him, and was afraid that the snow light would hurt his eyes, so he found the goggles and put them on for him, and then he let the curious Nan Zhou out to check the situation with him.

At first, seeing the monsters moving in the wind and snow, Nan Zhou thought they were going to meet those monsters again.

It wasn't until the wind and snow subsided that he could clearly see what the strange thing was.

——There are two lonely legs in yellow hiking pants, running on the snowy field.

There are and only legs.

Judging by the shape of the pelvis, it should be a pair of women's legs.

The scene was a bit comical, but seeing it with my own eyes, the funny was replaced by an unusually fierce and weird sense of horror.

Those legs seemed to have their own spirituality, running for a while, stopping for a while, as if they were looking for a target.

While watching, Nanzhou thought silently, this is probably the real splitting up.

He looked at Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang also cast a sly look at him and winked at him.

The two exchanged views in extreme time and came to an agreement.

Jiang Fang took out the C-level item named [Love of Beauty, Everyone Has It] from the item slot.

... a small round vanity mirror.

This thing is very suitable for the role of its C-level props.

That just doesn't do much.

Leaning his back against the rock, Jiang Fang weighed the mirror in his palm and threw it back casually——

The mirror faced upwards and fell soundlessly into the nearby snow.

His legs seemed to have sensed something, and he stopped suddenly, looking at a black rock 40 meters away from it.

——The upside-down mirror was bathed in the moonlight, facing its direction, refracting dazzling broken light.

Like an alluring bait.
