Contract Spirit Beast Cultivation Manual

Faith is really vulnerable sometimes.

Shi Wanfeng stood on the bell tower at the corner of the city, watching the flames shining in the vast night, watching those beautiful sparks devour that annoying place little by little.

The noisy human voices were drowned in the howling sea of ​​flames, and the carved railings and painted buildings were turned into coke, exuding a hot breath.

The goose feather heavy snow came slowly, falling into the bluestone steps, stained with blood.

Chi Muyun carried a dim little lantern and walked up the stairs with an umbrella, quietly looking at Shi Wanfeng who was standing by the railing.

He stood so alone in this silent snowy night, watching from a distance that his belief was shattered and turned into ashes, and the last childishness between his brows slowly dissipated in the ink-like sky. .

"Go back, it's windy."

"No, I haven't finished watching the beautiful scenery here, so how can I leave?"

Chi Muyun walked to his side and looked at the ruined Qin Mansion in the distance. The fire had been extinguished, but the glory of the past would never reappear.

"Do you think the emperor will use this to deal with Fusang City?"

"No, he doesn't have that much energy anymore."

"Why did you agree to Chi Muge to go to Cangyue City? Why do you still listen to him?"

"Because we don't have anyone in our hands. Without people, we have no power and no capital to fight against him. The army in Cangyue City will be our last hope."

"Where is Cang Yue City Lord? Will he agree?"

"Whether he agrees or not, he must acquire Cangyue City. Challenges and opportunities are inherently symbiotic, as long as you can handle it."

"..."

"what happened?"

Chi Muyun looked at Shi Wanfeng who was frowning, turned around and asked:

"It's too difficult. Can he alone defeat the thousands of troops in Cangyue City?"

"It's also a way to win in danger. However, who of us didn't come to this world with bare hands?"

He turned his gaze back into the distance.

"One day, you too will be as brave and fearless as him."

"Will that take long?"

"It doesn't have to be for a long time, but it will definitely hurt. Just like the callus on your hand, the more painful it is, the thicker and harder it grows."

The wind and snow that lasted for several days quickly covered the ruins of the Qin Mansion, and obliterated people's attention and memory of this matter.

It has not been snowed this much for many years. The thick snow has blocked roads, froze birds and even collapsed houses.

Chi Muge looked at the vast snow scene in the distance, and there was a little bit of unknown emotion in his eyes.

Ahead is the Longtan Tiger's Lair, and his going is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, but if you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get a tiger's cub.

Now even if the tooth is broken, this bone has to be gnawed down.

The dozens of people accompanying them were a little discouraged. In fact, they had been very discouraged all the time. After all, they left the peaceful and prosperous capital and were about to go to the bitter cold and sinister border.

They always pay attention to the movements of Chi Muge, which annoys him very much.

Chi Muge only took a few steps forward before he was noticed by that guy named Jiang Yi again. This guy was as annoying as a fly, and he had to make excuses to follow him when he went to the bathroom.

"Where are you going, General?"

"I'm going to see if the road ahead is blocked by snow."

"How can you bother you with such a trivial matter, let's go, it's windy outside, just wait in the camp."

"Oh, really? Then you go, read it carefully and come back and tell me."

"Yes."

Chi Muge watched Jiang Yi gallantly mount his horse to explore the road, and smiled mockingly.

Sure enough, as expected, the man came back in less than a stick of incense, and came to him panting.

"Can you see clearly?"

"My subordinates can see clearly that the road ahead has been blocked by snow. If the weather is fine, it will take at least three or four days before we can go on the road."

"Then have you taken a closer look at the snow cover on the surrounding mountains, what is the terrain, what is the vegetation, and what are the obvious signs around?"

"This... the front has been completely covered by heavy snow, but it's just a vast expanse of whiteness, so I can't see clearly."

"The avalanche will not come because you can't see clearly. What you brought back is completely useless news. Everyone knows that the road ahead is blocked by snow, otherwise we would not have settled here."

"This...is a subordinate's dereliction of duty."

"It's not dereliction of duty, it's overstepping. What you are not allowed to do is something you cannot do."

"Yes."

"Pull up the camp, and drive all night. Before dawn, we will rush to the mountain in front. There should be a cave there. We will repair there for a few days before we start our journey."

"But, General, if you are driving in the dark, you will easily get lost, especially in such an environment, it is all white. Once you lose your direction, it is tantamount to seeking your own death..."

"Hmph, you kid is still breastfeeding when I'm rolling in the snow. If you like to go, I'll go anyway. If you want to be buried in the snow, you can stay here, just let me be clean and alone. I can arrive at Cangyue City tomorrow morning."

"This, of course, I listen to the general, Yang Lei, let someone pack up and get ready to go."

"Hmph, then you guys have to hurry up, otherwise, if you get lost in the snow, I don't care."

"As the general said, we are all the general's subordinates. Who doesn't know that the general loves soldiers like sons, so why would he leave us alone?"

"No, I'm not as big as you, a silly son."

"Ha, ha, the general was joking."

"Clean up quickly, or you will really devote yourself to your master and die."

"My subordinate, go here."

A group of people walked forward in the dark, Chi Muge led a few water attribute guys to open the way ahead, and the rest followed closely behind.The gray furry moon smudged into a big circle of light, and the dark clouds pressed down layer by layer, covering the brilliance of the stars, and the surrounding was terribly silent, with only the whistling wind in my ears, and the occasional roar and cry of a wild animal, which made people shudder .

A person hurriedly ran over from the back of the line, and leaned over to Jiang Yi's ear and whispered a report.

He frowned when he heard this, and slowly retreated to the end of the line, and came back after a while, with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong? It's like eating two catties of flies."

He hesitated for a moment, but he still told Chi Muge:

"The number is wrong."

"Why, really lost it? I have already reminded you."

"No, it would be easier if there were less, but there are more."

"too much?"

"Yes, there is one more person, but I can't find out who it is."

"Don't you know everyone here? Why can't you find out who it is? There are more than [-] people in total. Can't you just look at it?"

"Yes, I know them all, but after counting and counting, there is one more person. Someone saw a figure coming in, and I counted, and there was one more person."

"Ah, it's fine if you don't miss anything. Hurry up and continue on the road, which makes people panic and delays the journey."

"This, but everyone is a little uneasy..."

"Why, isn't it just that there are more people? If it likes it, let it follow. I still hate you, why don't you let it follow?"

"But……"

Just as Jiang Yi was about to refute, he saw someone running over panting. When he got closer, it turned out to be Yang Lei.

"What's the matter, in a panic?"

"Something went wrong, our food was stolen!"

"what?"

"It was too dark for everyone to see clearly. There was something lying on the horse's belly and emptied out the pockets. When we found out that something was wrong, almost all the dry food had been stolen, and the thing disappeared as soon as it burrowed into the snow. , can't find it at all!"

"What? I'll take a look!"

"Don't look, hurry up now and reach the destination, or else, let alone dry food, people will take it away for you."

"Does the general know what that is?"

"I know, but it's the first time I've seen so many. Let them open the road as wide as possible, and keep people as far away from the snowdrift as possible. If someone is caught by something in the snow, the people next to them should not stretch out their hands. That thing is very powerful." If it’s too big, you can only lose another one.”

"Then what should we do? Could it be that we just watched them being taken away? We also have a few strong ones here..."

"Do you think they are a person? Look at this vast snowy sea. There are countless such things hidden under the sea. They will catch the same person together, and the speed is extremely fast. It is impossible to take the person back. A fire attribute walks on the side, what is burning along the road, let them be more jealous, these guys don't like fire."

"okay, I get it."

Chi Muge looked at Jiang Yi who hurried over and sighed.

It's time to come.
