Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Chapter 33 The Reaper

On the high mountains, the snow poured down like an avalanche, smashing down the forests and houses, and raising the snow fog that covered the sky and the sun.

The earth roared, and the mountains roared wildly.Jiang Xiao ran wildly, the knight who was about to give her a hand just now was already a hundred meters away, and he would not turn back.

Jiang Xiao couldn't hear the sound of dried fish, and the cold air poured into her mouth and nose, and she only had one thought in her mind: run!

On the high ground ahead, Yu Zhou and others were waiting for Jiang Xiao.

After stepping into this "birdcage", they immediately encountered people patrolling in the snow.The other, calling himself an adventurer, warns them of an impending avalanche that will take everyone to higher ground.Beyond the high ground is the resting place, but Yu Zhou and the others are not willing to leave.Jiang Xiao hasn't arrived here yet, they have to wait for her.

At this moment, the avalanche began.

On the white earth, Jiang Xiao is just a shadow, insignificant.

The boundless sea of ​​snow behind her was as unstoppable as waves.

The adventurer leading the way lit a cigarette, turned around and said, "Let's go, we can't be saved." He started to leave, seeing that Yu Zhou and the others didn't follow, and didn't look back. "Just go forward." He shouted, "The first house you see is the place where you stay."

The dried fish had already rushed to Jiang Xiao's side, but it was of no avail.

"It's over, it's over, Jiang Xiao—Jiang Xiao! Run!!!" Liu Yingnian hoarse.

Fan Xing's side was empty, Yu Zhou turned his head and ran to a higher place.He immediately came to his senses: "Yu Zhou! No way!"

That's too late.He chased after Yu Zhou, but missed.Yu Zhou didn't pause, and jumped directly from the protruding rock.

A long howl in the snow!

The person who reminded Jiang Xiao to run quickly had already galloped his horse up to the high ground, stopped his horse and turned around.

In the snow below the highlands, an astonishing skeleton of a strange fish seemed to break through the sea and soar into the sky.

On its eye-catching unicorn, there is a person hanging impressively.

Yu Zhou hugged Yugan's horn, feeling the anger of Yugan at this moment.

He touched the back of dried fish: "Quick!"

Jiang Xiao stretched out his hand to the dried fish that was swimming fast.Yugan couldn't catch her, so he picked up Jiang Xiao with his fin and threw it on his back.

The snow foam was blowing, Jiang Xiao fell on the back of the dried fish, and before he could grasp the bones of the dried fish, the strong wind carried by the snow waves rolled in and overturned her.Yu Zhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Xiao's wrist, but he was caught by the force of the fall, and his other hand let go of the horn.

Both of them fell on the back of the dried fish and slid down.

The dried fish roared again!

There was a crisp sound on his back, and someone grabbed Yu Zhou's hand - countless light gray vines sprang out from Fan Xing's sleeves, binding Yu Zhou's body tightly like ropes.Fan Xing held a meat cleaver in his other hand, it was the one that Xu Qingyuan dug out from the pile of debris.

The knife was stuck in the bone of the dried fish.

Both were pulled up.Jiang Xiao shivered from the cold, Yu Zhou thanked Fan Xing.

"Is this the result of you swallowing a dried fish heart?" Yu Zhou asked.

Fan Xing just looked at him.

"...What's wrong?" Yu Zhou wondered.

"Your saving instinct works on anyone?"

Yu Zhou couldn't understand this sentence, let alone how to answer it.Fan Xing paused, and answered Yu Zhou's question: "Wherever An Liu is, I will appear there. Similarly, wherever I am, An Liu can also come to me in an instant. We are one."

Jiang Xiao: "...An Liu? Who? The name of the dried fish?"

Fan Xing: "We'll explain when we get to a safe place." He was lying on the back of Yugan, his heart beating fast.Holding his left chest, Fan Xing was very uncomfortable with this overly violent heartbeat, but it couldn't calm down in a short time.The moment Yu Zhou jumped off the snow cliff, Fan Xing almost stopped breathing.

Yu Zhou and Jiang Xiao leaned together to keep each other warm.Fan Xing lay down for a while, also said it was cold, and forced his way between the two of them. The three of them hunched their shoulders and necks, sitting on the back of the dried fish, watching the ground below completely turn into a sea of ​​snow, and the trend of the heavy snow avalanche continued.

In the gap between the snow foam, Yu Zhou suddenly found a swaying shadow on the top of the mountain.It was a huge figure almost half the size of a mountain, like a black mist, indistinct.

Yu Zhou's heart skipped a beat: "There are people on the mountain."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure disappeared instantly.

Fan Xing took Yu Zhou's hand: "Are you dizzy? Are you dazzled? You can lean on my broad and strong chest."

Yu Zhou struggled to escape from his grasp.Jiang Xiao saw that near the safe high ground, the knight who was about to pull him just now was looking up at them.

The dried fish fell in the air, and when the three people on its back landed safely, it rolled and disappeared.Almost at the same moment, its sharp cry sounded in Yu Zhou's ear: "It hurts me to death!!!"

Fan Xing returned the meat cleaver to Xu Qingyuan: "Thank you."

"How could you! How could you kill me!" Big tears welled up in Yugan's fish eyes, and it grabbed Fan Xing's hair and cried loudly, "You are so sorry to me!"

The avalanche started to slow down at this point.Fan Xing covered the mouth of dried fish, a horse walked slowly on the snowy path.

The person on the horse took off her hat and scarf. It was a thin woman. "It turns out that you have a wonderful helper." She said to Jiang with a smile, "Obviously, you are not newcomers."

When the dried fish is enlarged, everyone can see it, but when it shrinks, only Yu Zhou and others and the cage owner can distinguish it.It scratched Fan Xing's face recklessly, and Fan Xing resisted the urge to crush it.

Jiang smiled: "Thank you for reminding me just now."

The woman smiled slightly: "Let's go."

She took two steps forward, and when she turned around, she saw that several people did not move. "Go quickly, your clothes are not suitable for staying in this kind of snow for a long time, go to the adventurer's camp." She said, "I don't know what kind of 'bird cage' you have experienced, but here, if the adventurer If you don’t unite, you will be harvested soon.”

The woman's name is Ji Chunyue, and she is also a veteran of "Birdcage".She had forgotten how long she had been here, because she had been trapped in a sleeping "cage" before.She slept in the "birdcage" for a long time, and woke up because the owner of the cage was killed and someone replaced him.

She talked very happily, as if to dispel the vigilance of Yu Zhou and others.Although I don't say much about my own origin, I am very enthusiastic about what happened in the "birdcage".

But after experiencing Arga's kingdom, Yu Zhou and the others became a little more wary of enthusiastic people.Only Fan Xing was chatting with Ji Chunyue, talking and laughing.

The adventurer's camp is in the valley behind the highlands, very warm.In Yu Zhou's view, this is no longer a "camp": as far as the eye can see, it is a small village.

Yu Zhou was trembling all the time, but they didn't dare to step into the camp rashly, Ji Chunyue dismounted and whistled.Soon, the windows of the first house opened: "Sister, did you get it?"

"Got it, everyone is safe and sound." Ji Chunyue asked while walking, "Where's Wen Feng?"

"He came back a little earlier than you." The man saw Yu Zhou and the others who were vigilant and hesitant, "Oh, why are they all young?"

Ji Chunyue: "Get some clothes out."

Soon, the round-faced fat man took some cotton-padded clothes and put them on them one by one, regardless of Yu Zhou's excuses.Yu Zhou thanked this person, looked left and right, and found that Fan Xing was gone.

Fan Xing has followed Ji Chunyue into the house.

This is a simple restaurant, and the hot air makes your nostrils tingle as soon as you enter the door.

Fan Xing kept wiping his nose while sitting down, looking left and right.There were men and women in the restaurant, people were dressed in different colors, and they spoke a variety of languages, Fan Xing couldn't recognize them all.He was soon on a table in the corner of the restaurant and saw the man who had brought them up from the snow.

Ji Chunyue sat with the man and called him Wenfeng.

Fan Xing also went over to join in the fun, and smiled at him with a harmless and universal smile.

Unexpectedly, Wen Feng didn't like this at all, and gave him a cold look: "Didn't you doubt me? Why are you coming together again now?"

Fan Xing nodded and smiled, got up and left.

Yu Zhou and Liu Yingnian just entered the door, and Liu Yingnian let out a wow, and his glasses were instantly clouded with white mist.

In an instant, all eyes in the restaurant were focused on them.

"Why are there still little girls?" A big man laughed loudly, "Sweet and soft little girls have always been the harvesters' favorite prey."

Jiang Xiao didn't even bother to roll his eyes.Seeing that she didn't respond, everyone booed even more enthusiastically.Liu Yingnian pulled Jiang Xiao behind him, and the big man patted his legs and laughed loudly: "There are still people protecting him, why, are you dating, or are you coming to the 'birdcage' to die?"

"She's my sister." Ji Chunyue got up and said.

The laughter in the restaurant seemed to be suppressed in an instant, and stopped.

Wen Feng pressed her hand, shaking his head imperceptibly.Ji Chunyue pulled away her hand, smiled and walked over to hold Jiang Xiao: "Let's go, I'll take you to rest."

Pass through the restaurant, enter the backyard, and then cross a path, which is the white snow road.There are houses on both sides of the road, where people live and have activities.

The vigilance of Yu Zhou and others has not been eliminated, only Fan Xing's chatterbox can't be shut down along the way.Ji Chunyue led them forward: "Go to the restaurant for dinner, there are many people inside, so be careful."

"Are those adventurers?" Fan Xing asked.

"Yes." Ji Chunyue replied, "My husband Wen Feng and I are all adventurers who were forced to stay here after entering this 'birdcage'."

"How long?"

Ji Chunyue: "Nine months."

She and Wen Feng are the ones who have stayed longer among the adventurers. They have survived many crises and saved many people, so they are very prestigious.

Yu Zhou suddenly said, "Can I ask a question?"

Ji Chunyue turned her head and smiled at him.She gave people a reliable and down-to-earth feeling, Yu Zhou carefully chose his words: "Why are you and Wen Feng waiting for us there?"

Ji Chunyue: "You found out?"

"It seems that you have known for a long time that there will be newborns appearing on that snow field." Yu Zhou said, "You are going to pick us up."

"You are very sharp." Ji Chunyue nodded, "Yes, the avalanche is a sign of the arrival of newborns. If we don't take you away as soon as possible, you will be targeted by the harvesters."

Fan Xing: "Who is the Harvester?"

"Let him tell you." Ji Chunyue stopped in front of a small building.

Two oil lamps were lit at the entrance of the small building, swaying in the snow and wind.

After knocking on the door, someone soon came to answer the door, chatting with Ji Chunyue in a low voice, still asking her if she received the new adventurer smoothly.

The room was filled with a comfortable aroma, and Yu Zhou seemed to be in another space. The interior furnishings and the warm fire all made him feel in a trance.

Xu Qingyuan stood by the window, lifted the curtain to observe the situation outside the door, and stretched out his hand to loosen the window latch.The latch is available, and this is a passage if you want to escape from here.

He nodded slightly to the others, indicating that he had found a way out.

Fan Xing and Jiang Xiao walked around the living room, while Liu Yingnian took out his notebook and began to record this new "birdcage".Ji Chunyue took off her hat and scarf, took off her coat, realized that Yu Zhou was looking at her, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Yu Zhou gradually understood that she was not warm, but gentle.The older woman treated them all with the same patience and meticulousness as a child.

Yu Zhou didn't dare to trust people easily, but he had to admit that he didn't dislike Ji Chunyue.Instead, he was happy to talk to her.

"Who is the cage owner of this 'birdcage'?"

Ji Chunyue shook her head slightly: "No one knows, I haven't shown up before."

Footsteps were heard on the stairs, and someone came down the stairs and asked aloud, "How many people are there this time?"

"Five people." The young man who just opened the door answered.

"Well, more than the previous two times." The speaker finally stepped on the floor.

Ji Chunyue got up immediately: "Mr. Xie Bai."

The young man called Mr. Xie Bai was younger than Ji Chunyue. He was tall and straight, wearing a light shirt and another coat in the warm room.Anyone who looks at him will only think that he is gentle and gentlemanly.

Xie Bai didn't see the adventurer at first sight, but greeted Ji Chunyue instead.But immediately, he was attracted by Yu Zhou beside Ji Chunyue.

He paused for a moment, then quickly approached Yu Zhou, his gestures, tone and eyes all revealed urgency and excitement.

"...?!" He grabbed Yu Zhou's shoulder, and he had to control his strength so as not to hurt Yu Zhou. The words he said were like the sound of breath, and he was about to fall at any time.

A layer of tears even welled up in Xie Bai's eyes.

He sighed and whispered: "Yu Zhou."
