As the night progressed, the temperature seemed to be getting lower, so He Li found a cave and went inside.

Looking at the falling snow outside, he curled up and slowly fell asleep.

The sun is rising,

The faint sunlight seemed unable to dispel the coldness. When it shone on his body, He Li could not feel the warmth of the sun.

It's as if this is an isolated world.

"What's up there?"

He Li looked at the mountain peak that was not far away and muttered to himself,

After eating the last piece of jerky, I dusted off my clothes, walked out of the cave, and continued to head toward the top of the mountain.

There was no way out for him.

...

"Brother...where did he go?"

Ping had been restless for the whole morning since she saw the note. She was preparing lunch and waiting at the dining table, looking at the wooden door again and again, expecting someone to push the door open and come in.

She suddenly felt inexplicably panicked.

It's not like my brother hasn't been away from home for a few days before.

But this time, the feeling was something she had never had before. My brother said that she had a clear mind and was born with a heart for the piano, so the instrument she played would touch people's hearts.

She would not easily ignore this panic.

But why did she feel anxious?

Did something happen to my brother?

But he played with me yesterday. I played the piano and he played the flute. The piano and the harp sounded in harmony.

He even said with a smile that his piano skills had surpassed his, and handed him a pile of sheet music.

Those scores are enough for me to study for decades.

Ah Ping still remembers her brother's smile at that time. He clearly looked happier than anyone else.

Ping Er also said that they watched the moon and had supper together last night, and drank the daughter's red wine that her father buried in the ground...

Thinking of this Ah Ping makes me a little angry.

Ping'er is really something. After a kiss, she happily dug out the wedding wine.

Not reserved at all, I can just hold on until the next day and let you dig it out...

My brother hasn't even kissed me yet...

Thinking of getting married, Ah Ping's face gradually turned red.

Is my brother in a hurry to drink that wine because he can't wait to get married?

Should I ask my father to move the engagement date forward?

I'm sure my dad will scold me for not being reserved.

But dad is really something, we have been together for such a long time, but he still moved the wedding date so far... Twenty-one years old, there is still a year left, it's such a long time!

Ah Ping pouted, looking unhappy, staring at the door and continuing to think about all sorts of things...

...

He Li could feel his lungs twitching, and every breath he exhaled could taste a faint sweet smell. Ice particles continued to invade his body with his breath, almost greedily plundering his few remaining warmth.

The wound covered with frostbite, after bleeding a small amount, solidified on the hand, thus eliminating the need for bandaging.

"almost,"

He Li looked at the mountain right in front of him, smiled, and continued to walk forward with his wooden stick.

Wuwuwu——

It seemed like the sound of cold wind passing through the jagged rocks, rubbing against the irregular and uneven holes, making a sound almost like a wolf's howl...

No, that is the howl of the wolf,

These wolves seemed to appear out of nowhere, with bloodshot eyes and roaring wantonly, their mouths wide open and drooling as they fell to the ground and froze into ice.

"Is this the final test?"

He Li opened his eyes with difficulty in the cold wind, put on a smile, threw away the stick, took out the axe on his back and the dagger on his waist,

"Come on, then,"

His silver-gray eyes stared at the wolves, his mind clear.

This is the third difficulty of the level.

...

The food on the table has already gone cold.

Ah Ping looked up at the setting sun, and suddenly her heart tightened.

"Why hasn't my brother come back yet?"

The note was clenched in her palm, with a few sweat stains on it.

Although I have read the note countless times,

But she still unfolded it and looked at it again——

"Brother has some things to do, I'll be back soon, don't worry."

She read it softly.

It is still these few words, every order of the words, every stroke, even every stroke,

Ah Ping is very familiar with them.

She could even imagine her brother writing these words in front of the bed, placing them on the table, and walking away slowly.

And the hundreds of times I said after I came back: "I'm back."

Can...

Ah Ping covered her chest. Why did she feel so uneasy?

She had an urge to go out and find him.

But he said that day that we should not go out after the sun goes down.

Her brother was worried about something. She could tell immediately after spending so much time with him.

But she didn't ask.

She just listened to him silently and never went out after dusk.

But this time...

"Ping'er, let's go find my brother together,"

Ah Ping suddenly said, she knew Ping'er was very skilled in martial arts, and with her around, at least they could be safe.

After saying this, Ah Ping's expression changed a little, her gentle temperament slowly faded away, and her cold attitude gradually emerged.

"it is good,"

Ping Er replied,

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, she regretted why she drank so much last night.

If I drink less, I can at least stay awake and secretly follow my brother out, so I can know where he goes.

But I slept so soundly last night that I didn't even know when my brother left.

With a slight sigh, she took out a long box from under the bed, looked at the well-maintained red tasseled spear in the box, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the spear and pushed the door open...

...

call,

call,

Feeling his chest as if being cut by a knife, He Li slowly exhaled a few puffs of white steam, sat on the wolf's corpse, supported himself with the axe, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned his wrist and gave a thumbs-up to the mountain from a distance.

"That's not enough."

Around him, the ground was littered with wolf corpses, red was blood, white was snow, the color of snow and blood mixed together, filling the entire sky and earth.

He picked up a dagger and cut out a piece of meat from the wolf's corpse, swallowing it with the hot blood.

[Demon God Pollution Antibody (Primary) is enhanced by 1%, cumulative acquisition level: 90%, and it will automatically upgrade to Demon God Pollution Antibody (Intermediate) when it reaches 100%]

He didn't have time to care whether the meat was raw or cooked, he just wanted to replenish his energy quickly.

Because in his sight, more blood-eyed wolves rushed over,

He gripped the axe tightly, sniffed the bloody smell close at hand, and gently closed his eyes...

...

Where did he go?

Ping'er searched the whole village and all the places he often visited.

Including the pond he fell into, the vegetable garden in the distance, and the small house where he used to live alone.

I searched everywhere I could, even looking into a well when I passed by one.

He's not in now,

Did he go up the mountain?

But I had gone hunting in the mountains the night before I left, so there was plenty of meat at home.

If not hunting, why would he go up the mountain?

Ping'er gritted her teeth, forced herself to suppress her inner uneasiness, and walked up the mountain with her gun in hand.
