People in the original god, the innkeeper, oppressing his sister

No matter how vigorous the energy is, it will be exhausted in this kind of wheel battle, not to mention that he and Yula are not in good condition.

And the plan of waiting in place and reuniting with Ying also went bankrupt.

There was no place to hide nearby, and even the items used to leave the mark were basically thrown away;

Avoiding the traces of the Qiuqiu people's actions and hiding in Tibet along the way, he stuck his sword in the snow and dug out the black soil below. From a distance, it looked like a striking black line, much clearer than footprints.

As for whether it will become blurred under the trampling of monsters, he can't decide.

In the end, the two came to this cave, where monsters kept passing by, seeming to be circling in the mountain, and there were howlings of unknown meaning outside.

After breathing, they were forced to hide until now.

But the most important problem is not here:

At first, he thought it was a small-probability accident—after the avalanche passed, the nearby beasts and monsters would be alarmed by it. Now that it happened, it could be explained by bad luck;

But after Gu Bai discovered that there was not just one Qiuqiu who went mad, but appeared in groups;

Then he realized that things had changed in places he couldn't see.

Polluted monsters...

Gu Bai picked up a branch and stroked it lightly on the ground.

At this point, the rhetoric of luck is obviously no longer useful.

He looked at Yula, "Haven't those monsters been wiped out, and there are still fish that slipped through the net?"

Only a few teams of knights can't take care of the monsters on the entire snow mountain. Therefore, during the mission, Yula and the others only dealt with the part affected by the power of the dragon.

"If you only look at the results of the previous few days, it's impossible." Yula also frowned.

"That's the second leak of the pollution source, which has affected a batch of monsters... No, it doesn't make sense."

The moment this idea emerged, it was denied by Gu Bai himself.

"You mean something happened to Abedo?"

"Well, I did think about it just now. Although it is the most reasonable guess, I think the possibility is too small."

This is true both rationally and emotionally.

From a rational point of view, he knows Abedo's strength, and he underestimates the opponent if he gets into an accident easily.

As for the emotional point of view, if there is a trouble that Abedo will miss, it is even more useless to count on the current self, Gu Bai does not want this to happen.

"Then there are only fools left." Yula thought for a while, and continued: "Do you still remember the purpose of Abedo staying with us, which is to guard a few entrances..."

"In order to enter the mountain, they deliberately created an avalanche?"

"Well, I am increasingly suspicious that the avalanche was not an accident, but a man-made chaos."

"What a coincidence." Gu Bai shook his head, "If we hadn't been sick, if Ying hadn't gone out, we would have had a completely different ending. Or did they predict all of this in advance? What a coincidence."

"But a lot of things happened by coincidence, at least that's what happened to me when I had a fever this time."

Gu Bai did not refute, he was silent for a while: "From this point of view, it is not impossible to assume that they took away some pollution sources before retreating, so let's keep this speculation for now."

He picked up the branch and drew a few circles, and then he said to himself:

"I still can't figure out what the purpose is."

"Always go back first."

Yes, no matter how many conspiracies surface, always go back and talk about it.

Now they are hiding in the cave, and there are Qiuqiu people wandering outside. They are all in danger and can't do anything.

But at least some preparations can be made.

Gu Bai recalled it carefully, then picked up the branch, wrote the key nodes that caused the changes in the past few days on the ground, and then connected them into a line;

From the cheating flower who pretended to be a human being in Mond, to hearing about the accident on the snow mountain.The experiment with Abedo, his own fever, and Yula's illness, and then to the avalanche and the crazy Qiuqiu people.

He stared at the scribbled map on the ground, tapped his fingers on the ground, looked at it for a long time, and then shook his head.

No, this guess is also impossible.

The reason remains the same-the occurrence and series connection of these things are too coincidental.

It is difficult to support the logic of it.

One wrong step, if you choose to stay near the camp after the avalanche, maybe what happened later will not happen.

Until now, he always feels like a marionette, everything at the moment is intertwined, and he is manipulated to move forward, thinking that he has made the most sensible choice;

When he looked back, he found that there was no room for choice at all, everything seemed to be pre-determined, and he was irreversibly heading towards the worst ending.

Even if you have noticed the transparent silk threads connected to your body.

Feelings of powerlessness and irritability emerged, but this time he didn't cross out the speculation, but entered it with a circle.

After writing a few words on the side, Gu Bai dropped the branch.

Let Ying see.

What to do now is to find a way to escape from the cave.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yula, who was leaning against the stone wall with her head down, nodding her chin, and she was about to fall asleep again.

Seeing this, Gu Bai pushed Yula's body, waiting for her to open her eyes in a daze:

"Don't sleep, I'll talk to you."

In this extremely cold temperature, after a person falls asleep, the body's various functions begin to slow down, and her body temperature and breathing will also gradually drop. What's more, she still has a fever, which will aggravate her condition.

In severe cases, once you fall asleep, you may not be able to wake up.

"Did I fall asleep again..." Yula rubbed her face, "I just wanted to close my eyes for a while."

The cold wind poured into the hole, she hugged her knees, her shoulders were shaking slightly, and her face lost all color:

"Gu Bai, I'm a little cold..."

Gu Bai touched her hand, his fingertips were cold, he didn't say anything, he held Yula in Qingqing's arms:

"Is this any better?"

"are not you cold……"

Of course he is cold.

It was as if a piece of ice had been stuffed into the clothes.

"Fortunately, I'll tell you when it's cold."

"Um……"

Yura responded lightly, before lowering her head again.

Gu Bai simply picked her up and put her on his body.

This time he was really sober.

She opened her eyes all of a sudden, and there was a layer of fine granules on the smooth back of her neck.

"I……"

Yura was a little restless.

"Don't move, watch out for the injury on your shoulder."

Letting her head rest on his chest, Gu Bai opened his windbreaker and wrapped half of her body.Then he wrapped his arms around Yura's waist and wrapped her hands.

When she calmed down obediently, Gu Bai rested his chin on her ice-blue short hair, his arms were soft, but at the moment he didn't have many charming thoughts in his heart, he was mostly thinking about how to go out.

Also...it's really cold.

But in order to prevent Yura from falling asleep, I have to talk to her:

"I almost didn't hug me just now."

"what?"

The mind seems to be a little short-circuited.

Gu Bai moved the hand on her waist:

"That's it, I almost missed it, I don't know if it's because my hands are too short, or you..."

The whole sentence was not finished, but the effect was still significant, at the cost of being bumped in the stomach by an elbow.

Yula became more energetic, and this time she didn't retaliate, but just snorted to express her dissatisfaction;

An unprecedented sense of security filled her heart, the wind on her face was no longer as cold as before, and her embarrassment gradually faded away. She completely relaxed her body, felt the heat all over her body, and quietly enjoyed the tranquility.

Gu Bai held her in a trance, and could smell a faint fragrance.

I remember that Yura didn't have the habit of using perfume.

Feeling her slowly relaxing, Gu Bai tightened his windbreaker, feeling dignified.

Even though she was hugged like this, Yura's body temperature still didn't show signs of rising.

Even if she kept talking to her, her reactions inevitably became dull and her breathing slowed down.

Even the body trembled slightly unconsciously.

The situation is more serious than imagined.

A snowflake fell in his field of vision, Gu Bai withdrew his gaze:

"Snowing……"

The temperature will only be lower, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

He sat quietly for a while, and when he was about to call Yula to leave the cave, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The ground was shaking with the sound of footsteps, he held his breath, pressed against the stone wall, quickly moved aside, and covered Yula's mouth.

Then, two thick snorts appeared at the entrance of the cave, and a huge head slowly poked in...

……

"Ying, why do I feel like I've been going around in circles?"

This is Paimon's voice.

The girl next to her was about to answer, her eyes fixed, and she was thrown aside suddenly. The next moment, a few people from Qiuqiu rushed over with strange screams.

Yingying quickly dealt with them, before he had time to speak, he hurriedly led Paimon to the distant rock.

Sure enough, more Qiuqiu people came to the corpse.

She looked at it for a while, remembered the number of the other party, and left quietly.

There was no chance of a careful search at all.

Once they stay in one place for a long time, a group of crazy Qiuqiu people will rush straight over.

And their dying cry will attract more companions.

This is why she and Paimon have been going around in circles.

After finding the scratched popsicle, she continued to walk along the sign, only to find that the items that had been placed in the snowdrift had disappeared.

There are only footprints on the ground, and traces of the dirt turned out by the sword.

These traces were intermittent. One moment they were on the mountain road perfectly, and the next moment they appeared next to the snow on the roadside. It could be seen that the two people at that time were being chased.

Soon they understood the identity of the pursuers. A group of Qiuqiu people appeared in the field of vision, heading somewhere, which coincided with the direction of the footprints. They followed for a while until they reached a crater, and the footprints disappeared.

Afterwards, the two of them continued to circle around in the path between the mountains——

Just when they wanted to stay in one place to check for a while, some Qiuqiu people appeared, and they were forced to move. When they found a safe place again, they took a breath, and it was the unrelenting Qiuqiu people again.

There are monsters in the whole mountain, and the sound of footsteps never disappears in my ears, as if they are gathering in one direction.

After finishing off a few Qiuqiu people again, Ying understood that it was just a waste of time to go on like this.

You can no longer search aimlessly.

Observing the surrounding terrain, trying to substitute into Gu Bai's thoughts, Ying looked around, but there was no place to hide.

Footprints that suddenly disappeared...

or climbed the mountain;
