Brother, why is he like this?

When Shen Lingyuan woke up, he heard a constant clicking sound.

Ye Tan was not in the room, and he didn't know where he went.

He got up and went outside the cabin. The sun was rising, and the light was not dazzling. Pieces of broken ice were floating on the sea surface, refracting the sunlight.

The clicking sound he heard was the sound of the ship's hull hitting broken ice.

The speed of the two dragons also slowed down.

With the sound of footsteps behind him, Ye Tan took Shen Lingyuan's cloak and put it on him.

"It's starting to freeze, and the Far North should be approaching."

Shen Lingyuan opened his mouth, and a ball of white air came out from his lips.He only realized later that it was indeed a lot colder.

Strangely, I didn't feel cold when I just woke up.

Even the fingertips that were often cold due to their frailty felt warm.

This thought flashed through his mind, but Shen Lingyuan didn't pursue it further.After only standing outside the cabin for a while, he felt cold, and he turned back to the room.

A smell of heating and food hits my face.

Steaming food was placed on the table, and there was even a brazier on the ground. The good stream firewood lit a smokeless soft fire, creating a warm atmosphere.

Shen Lingyuan was in a trance for a moment.He didn't seem to have any of that when he first woke up.Was it sent in when he just left the house?

Is there anyone left on the merchant ship?

After washing up with doubts, he sat down at the table, and said casually, "Is there anyone else on the merchant ship?"

Ye Tan shook his head.

Shen Lingyuan stopped holding the chopsticks.

There is no one else on board, and I didn't do it, could it be Ye Tan?

He turned to look at Ye Tan.

Ye Tan's face was as usual, and he couldn't see anything.

But there can be no second answer.

The hand holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, neither was it lowering the chopsticks, nor was it closing the hands.

I don't know why, but there is a burst of bitterness in my mouth.

Oh, it's the smell of grilled fish.

Ye Tan looked at Shen Lingyuan's expression calmly, and said sullenly at the moment: "It's frozen cooked food, I heated it up."

Hearing Ye Tan's low tone, Shen Lingyuan hurriedly picked up a dish as if death was at home.

Hmm... it doesn't taste good, but at least it's not bitter.

Seeing Shen Lingyuan swallowing the food, Ye Tan was relieved.

In fact, he lied. The food left on the merchant ship was indeed frozen, but it was not cooked food, but raw.

For this meal he had burned three ducks and two fish, and served his best.

Shen Lingyuan never wasted food, he ate everything on the table.Ye Tan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks with a spell, and then reached out to pour tea for Shen Lingyuan.

Even in the extravagant underground palace, Shen Lingyuan had never been served so meticulously before.Ye Tan did it smoothly, but he was a little uncomfortable. He pressed Ye Tan's hand and said, "I will do it myself."

Ye Tan paused, looked down at the shiny palm covering his hand, and said softly: "When I was young, that's how senior brother took care of me." He raised his eyes to Shen Lingyuan, and said sincerely: "When I was young, my senior brother took care of me like this." I just thought, I want to treat my senior brother as well as my senior brother treats me."

"Brother, do you despise me?"

Of course not.

The problem is, you couldn't take care of yourself at that time. As the senior brother who brought you back to the Zongmen, it was my duty to take care of you.But now my dantian is disabled, not my hands and feet, so I can't take care of myself, right?

But looking at Ye Tan's watery eyes, he couldn't speak.

Here it comes again.After Ye Tan Yuanying's eyes, apart from regaining his eyesight, did he bring any other additional mana?how could it be this……

In addition, he mentioned that when he was a child, Shen Lingyuan's heart was so soft, so he withdrew his hand and let him go.

After the boat sailed for a day, the ice became more and more broken as it moved forward, and the ice layer became thicker.

At the beginning, the two dragons broke through the ice layer with all their strength, and then Ye Tan swung his sword to cut through the solid ice and opened a path.

The boat was getting slower and slower.

Ye Tan could continue to chop, but the two dragons couldn't take it anymore.They soak in the icy sea water all day long, even though their demon bodies are much stronger than monks of the same level of cultivation, they are shivering from the cold now.

Finally one day, the two dragons took advantage of Ye Tan's absence to cry to Shen Lingyuan, curled up and writhed, blinked their big ugly eyes, and really squeezed out a few tears for them.

Shen Lingyuan was wearing a cloak and holding the stove, and he was also very cold, so he understood the two floods very well.So when Ye Tan returned to the room with the food box, he said to him: "This place is full of solid ice, and the boat moves very slowly. We might as well abandon the boat and walk, but go faster."

Erjiao nodded repeatedly.

Ye Tan did not disobey Shen Lingyuan, and obediently let go of the aquatic plants wrapped around them.

Erjiao regained his freedom, happily cruised around the boat twice, returned to Shen Lingyuan's side, and threw out a conch that came from nowhere.

Shen Lingyuan picked up the small white conch, smiled, and said: "You guys practice hard in Beihai, and don't eat people anymore."

Erjiao raised its head and groaned at the bottom of the water, the voice was thick and long, and it spread far away, as if it was an answer.

The moment Shen Lingyuan stepped on the ice, he felt an indescribable cold, as if his heart was about to freeze.

Even Ye Tan's spiritual power shield couldn't resist the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow.

He was so cold that he was about to be unable to stand, and suddenly heard Ye Tan whisper: "Senior brother?"

"Ok?"

Looking at Ye Tan's mouth shape, he seemed to have said three words, but he didn't hear clearly.

The next moment he felt his hand being held.

A steady stream of spiritual power was transmitted to Shen Lingyuan through the overlapping palms, making him feel less cold.The hand that was about to freeze slowly regained consciousness, and the hand holding her was long and delicate, and the entire palm was wrapped in the warm palm.

Shen Lingyuan suddenly felt an indescribable throbbing.

Maybe it's because the world is empty, but someone is always by his side;

Maybe it's because the world is cold, but there is someone who can warm him up.

He looked at Ye Tan, and saw that Ye Tan's face was full of uneasiness, as if he was afraid that he would resist.

Shen Lingyuan smiled at him.

Ye Tan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and Shen Lingyuan shook the hand he was holding before he came back to his senses.

"Yu Jian." Shen Lingyuan said.

There is a barrier around the Profound Sky Grass, and Ye Tan can't use his divine sense to find out its exact location.But as a spiritual cultivator, he has a natural connection with plants and trees. After stepping into the extreme north, he found out that the location of the Profound Sky Grass was in the north of the extreme north.

He sacrificed Liuyun and carefully wrapped Shen Lingyuan in his arms.Liuyun rushed out of the way in the wind and snow, and flew north.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Ye Tan took Shen Lingyuan and landed slowly, and took Liu Yun away: "It should be around here."

Shen Lingyuan looked around, his eyes were full of ice and snow, but there was nothing else.

But according to what he saw in the mirror, there were no other markers near the Profound Sky Grass, except for the monster.

"Be careful, it's weird." Shen Lingyuan said softly.

There was nothing around him, but he felt like he was being watched, as if he was surrounded by invisible eyes.

Ye Tan nodded: "Yes."

The two stopped.

For a while, the world was silent, only the snowflakes were falling.

Shen Lingyuan was still concentrating on guard, but Ye Tan's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly drew out his sword.He grabbed Shen Lingyuan's shoulder with one hand and pulled him away from the spot, and with the other hand, he held Liu Yun and chopped off to where Shen Lingyuan was standing.

There is nothing there, except for the snowflakes.

Luoxue seemed to be blocked by the sword energy, and stopped in mid-air for a moment, and then scrambled towards Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan.

Ye Tan's eyes turned cold, Liu Yun came out, and volleyed a water-tight sword light in front of Shen Lingyuan, blocking the snowflakes from the sword light.

Snow Flower turned to attack Ye Tan.

Shen Lingyuan shook out a fire talisman from his sleeve, and threw it at the group of dancing snowflakes.

A raging flame ignited in the air.

There seemed to be a very small scream, and there were wisps of white smoke from the flames.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye.When the last wisp of white smoke disappeared in the air, everything was gone, as if what was just now was just their illusion.

……

"Someone is coming." "Someone is coming."

The sparkling "snowflakes" rustled in the air in the inaudible language of Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan.

They are not real snowflakes, but a kind of demon insect unique to the extreme north. They look like snow in appearance and live by sucking heat.Usually, it is mixed in the real snow, lands quietly on people and animals, sucks their body temperature bit by bit, until the host freezes to death, and then looks for a new host.

Therefore, places like the Far North, where it snows all year round, are very suitable for the growth of snow worms, and the snow worms also exacerbate the cold. Over time, the Far North has become what it is today.

And they haven't had a full meal for a long time.

"Can't go, they have fire." "Can't go, they have fire."

The snow worms said in fear.

They like to eat temperature, but they are afraid of fire.At first, the snow worms didn't know what the dancing red elves were, but they were attracted by the temperature they radiated, and rushed towards them one by one, then screamed and disappeared.

From then on, I know that the thing called "fire" has a fatal attraction, but it can also be fatal.

……

Ye Tan and Shen Lingyuan stood where they were, in case there was another snow worm attack.

Shen Lingyuan lowered his head to think, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened slightly.

"There is no snow near the Profound Sky Grass."

Ye Tan also remembered that there was also a vast expanse of white around the Profound Sky Grass seen in the mirror, but there were no snowflakes flying in the sky.He released his consciousness to search nearby, and finally saw a place where there was no snow.

And he felt that there was something else there, blocking the prying eyes of the divine consciousness.

Ye Tan thought of the black shadow that flashed past in the mirror.

Beside the Profound Sky Grass, the Soul-devouring Beast, which was dozing on the ground, suddenly raised its head, moved its ears vigilantly, and narrowed its vertical pupils slightly.
