After the fog, I became a birdman

Qi Jiang opened the door, and Ah Jiu who was outside the door subconsciously took a few steps back to distance himself from him: "Senior Jiang, Senior Qing, come this way."

Su Qing was right behind Qi Jiang, the two left the room, and walked back with Ah Jiu.

Instead of going out the front door, they came to an unremarkable-looking crack.

There is still a person guarding here, who was the one who went to Fengcheng with Li Qishu before, and when he saw Qi and Su, he bent down and bowed his hands silently to salute.

Ah Jiu walked into the crack, walked about ten meters between the mountain walls and came to a stone slab.

The stone slab was removed, and there was a gust of wind blowing in front of it. After turning a few more turns, several people left the mountain through the gap and came to the snow-capped world outside.

Ah Jiu looked for a direction and whispered: "Go this way."

The snow was so deep that a deep hole was formed when one stepped on it. It took a lot of strength to walk. Qi and Su, who were able to fly, walked a meter or two and flew straight up, only a few centimeters away from the snow surface.

Ah Jiu cast an envious look, but he himself is not bad. It didn't take much effort to walk in the snow with his toes. He just touched a little bit of snow with his toes, leaving a shallow pothole, and he was almost able to step on the snow. To the point of no trace.

In the evening, the sky was almost completely dark, and the wind and snow were increasing. After walking for a while, Qi Jiang felt that the road was not very beautiful, so he took out a lantern and lit a candle. Because there was something like animal oil in it, the light was very strong, like The previous strong light illuminated a small area nearby.

Ah Jiu looked back at the lantern with some curiosity, and glanced at Qi Jiang cautiously, as if wondering why he couldn't have night vision.

After all, those with wings have good eyesight, and generally have night vision.

However, his attention quickly returned to the lantern, and he asked Su Qing, who was half a step away from Qi Jiang, in a flattering voice, "Young Master Su, how do you make this lantern? Can you teach me? How much is the method? ?”

Naturally, Su Qing would not charge him for such a small thing: "Just use alchemy or weapon refining techniques to process the monster oil, put the candle in it and soak it for a few days, and then you can use it when you take it out. The semi-monster is less effective. .”

It's easy to say, who can refine tools and alchemy at this time?

In the past, the most common method that everyone learned was to draw some magic talismans. After all, the cost of talisman paper and talisman pens was small, and no matter how poor the talent was, you would not lose a lot of money. However, refining tools and alchemy requires a lot of spiritual objects, so it is not something ordinary people can learn. Yes, there are few people who learn these things, but now the effect is reduced and the failure rate is greatly increased. How can it be so easy to refine?

But Ah Jiu still remembered this method. After all, it was just monster fat, and they could afford it even if the refining failure rate was high.

Everyone walked forward in the ice and snow, and gradually disappeared in the wind and snow.

Ah Jiu led Qi and Su to a mountain. As the altitude rose, they slowly saw a cliff and two people standing on it.

These two people, Su Qing, are very familiar with each other. One is Li Qishu, and the other is Peng Tianyu who used to come to Su's house to visit his grandfather during the holidays.

"Susu, Qi Jiang, are you here?" Uncle Li Qi smiled, the hat on his head was covered with snow, like a head of white hair, and the exposed eyelashes also turned white.

"Young Master Su." Peng Tianyu clasped his fists in salute, then looked at Qi Jiang beside him, "Senior Qi."

Su Qing's attitude was a little cold, and he looked at Peng Fei probingly, not sure if it was true or false that this person said that he wanted to help him, but he still called him as before: "Uncle Peng."

Seeing this, Qi Jiang on the side only nodded slightly and did not call for anyone. He was also watching.

"After Su Bo left, we haven't seen each other for many years." Peng Feiyu said emotionally, with some memories on his gloomy face, "You are in good health now, and Su Boquan must be at ease if he knows."

Su Qing closed her eyes, felt the violent snowstorm on the cliff, and realized that a snowstorm would arrive soon, so she didn't exchange pleasantries with him.

"Uncle Peng, Uncle Qi said that you want to tell me about the relics in person. Is there anything else we don't know?"

Peng Feiyu regained consciousness from his memory, looked at the others and signaled them to leave, Su Qing shook his head slightly when he saw this: "Uncle Peng, everyone is not an outsider, just say it."

Forget it, Peng Feiyu didn't insist, but asked Su Qing: "Presumably Li Zezhi also told you about the bloodthirsty vine."

Su Qing nodded, a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with bloodthirsty vines?"

Peng Feiyu looked at Su Qing with kindness in his eyes, and patiently explained to him, but with a hint of desolation in his patience: "Nowadays the plants are extinct, and those who can survive naturally have some skills, let me tell you The bloodthirsty vine, of course, is because Huang Bo did all this for this damn thing."

Everyone's face changed drastically, they didn't expect the bloodthirsty vine to be left behind.

Su Qing and Qi Jiang glanced at each other. They had already discovered the mutated plants, so they preconceived that the bloodthirsty vines appeared later, but now they turned out to be ancient alien species.

"Uncle Peng, please explain in detail." Su Qing couldn't help urging.

"It's a long story. It was only after Huang Xusheng's death that I took over some of the affairs he was in charge of and only learned of the inside story by accident..."

Peng Feiyu told him all the things he knew, and Bai Xue seemed to bring their memories back decades ago.

At that time, the three heroes of the central region had a deep love and righteousness, traveled all the way to the north and south, gained a great reputation on the road, and established their later status.

The Su family was in decline, Huang Bo came from a casual cultivator, and the Li family had a great career, so everything was decided by the elder sister Li Nan.

Later, the only grandson of the Su family was born, and it was difficult for Su Hai to inherit the family business because of his congenital insufficiency. It is inevitable to take orders separately.

The bloodthirsty vine seed was what Huang Bo got by accident when he completed a list.

"I don't know when Huang Bo changed, but the first time he did it happened to be when you were four years old, that is, when the three masters of the central part went to find medicine for you for the second time..."

That was Huang Bo's first attack on Su Hai, and they naturally knew that he hadn't succeeded, and he never showed anything unusual after that for more than ten years.

"The second time I attacked Su Bo was at the Kunyi ruins." Peng Chengyu sighed heavily, "I knew the same things as you back then. At that time, Su Bo was seriously injured, and Aunt Li and others became suspicious of Huang Bo. I thought it was a misunderstanding...I didn't find out until recently that he really kept the existence of the Gatekeeper from the truth."

In fact, Huang Bo has been to this relic long ago, and he knows it well.

Huang Bo knew Su Hai too well. He knew what Su Hai wanted most. At that time, the heir of the Shi family was trapped in a dangerous place. Thanks to Su Hai's rescue, he promised to help Su Hai find a way to heal Su Qing.

Seeing this, Huang Bo bribed Shi Lao's disciples to falsify the ancient books, leading Su Hai to the Kunyi ruins.

Peng Chengyu didn't know exactly what happened during the period, but Su Hai was indeed injured by the gatekeeper, and Huang Bo's plan was to use the gatekeeper to kill Su Hai.

When Peng Chengyu said this, he felt a little sad: "What he actually wants is for Subor's spiritual blood to water the bloodthirsty vines and let them germinate."

The aristocratic family is protected by the ancestors, and the blood has gone through so many generations of baptism. No matter how poor the talent is, it is higher than the casual cultivator. As long as the air is drawn into the body, the blood in the whole body can be transformed into spiritual blood. Although it is not as exaggerated as life and death, but in a certain There are indeed many magical uses in some places.

For a species like the bloodthirsty vine, watering it with spiritual blood is the most suitable.

Unfortunately, Huang Bo failed in the end. Su Hai was not killed but injured. Before Huang Bo could find a chance to kill him, the toxin broke out all over his body, crippling his spiritual blood.

Su Qing's back felt cold, and he swallowed, he didn't expect that Huang Bo really planned to kill his grandfather many years ago: "How did he become like this?"

Peng Feiyu took a deep look at Su Qing: "He already knew about your success in drawing Qi into your body, and also knew that you were wary of him. When you were in college, he asked Huang Xusheng to monitor you, but when I saw these photos, A cross was drawn on it, and for some reason he changed his mind."

Everyone looked at Su Qing, Qi Jiang nervously grabbed Su Qing's hand, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Su Qing squeezed Qi Jiang's hand back vigorously, and then asked in a deep voice: "I have heard from my grandfather that some monks have disappeared for no reason these years. Is it his fault?"

Peng Feiyu nodded without hesitation: "It is true that he asked Huang Xusheng to do it."

As one of the Three Heroes in Central China, Huang Bo has a high status. It would be too easy for him to kidnap a few casual monks quietly. If it weren't for the strict laws and many cameras in modern society, he would even do it even more recklessly.

Su Qing carefully traced the timeline, and found that Huang Bo's transformation was too fast, either because of his nature, or because he was affected by the bloodthirsty vine.

Although he didn't want to excuse this murderous maniac, Su Qing also believed in the eyes of his grandfather and Li Nan's mother-in-law. If Huang Bo's true nature was like this, they would definitely not be sworn brothers with him.

Thinking of this, Su Qing's eyelashes trembled, feeling very complicated: "The bloodthirsty vine can affect people's minds, this alien species must not be kept! And Huang Bo...he must also pay the price for what he has done. "

Peng Feiyu sighed heavily: "I will help you."

Qi Jiang didn't expect Huang Bo to be so ruthless. Seeing that Su Qing was in a difficult mood to calm down, Qi Jiang patted his hand. After a while, he waited for Su Qing to calm down a little before he broke the silence of the scene.

"Why did you help us?" Qi Jiang asked his long-standing doubts, "You have a deep friendship with your master, why did you betray him?"

"One is for self-protection. After the spiritual energy recovered, the bloodthirsty vines sprouted. He handed the bloodthirsty vines to Huang Xusheng for safekeeping, and did a lot of unreasonable things. Recently, the worm crisis..." Peng Feiyu did not repeat, "In order to make the bloodthirsty vines The vine morphed into the blood of the king, and became more and more crazy, I am afraid that one day I will have to feed that alien plant."

Everyone looked at each other, but they could understand his mood. With such a master, no matter how important he was, he would not feel safe.

"Secondly, Su Bo was kind to me in the past. When I went on an expedition, Su Bo saved me several times." Peng Feiyu looked at Su Qing, "Thirdly, Huang Bo had a blood feud with me. I always thought my daughter was... "

He suddenly choked up, the tears in the corners of his eyes turned into ice grains and fell, took a deep breath, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I originally planned to take a few people to sneak out of Gaocheng, a place of right and wrong, but last time he mentioned Young Master Su..."

Probably because he was sad, the next few words he said were rather chaotic, generally speaking, Huang Bo had already realized that his death came from Fengcheng, and it happened that Uncle Li Qi came back from Fengcheng, so he suspected that it was him, but he didn't. Forget about Su Qing.

Peng Feiyu was rescued by Mr. Su, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to Su Qing, so he took the risk of meeting Li Qishu to find out Su Qing's whereabouts.

After a while, Peng Feiyu finally calmed down in the cold wind, his words were no longer messy, and his expression gradually became cold: "I have always wanted to avenge my daughter, but I am not strong enough, so I can only hide my strength and bide my time. Wave hand, that is also an opportunity for me."

Su Qing and others didn't expect that Huang Bo would be so mad that he would attack a little girl.

Back then, when Peng Feiyu's daughter disappeared while traveling, everyone thought it was an accident, but Huang Bo sent someone to do it.

"If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die." Su Qing said coldly, Huang Bo is also a talent who can force his senior disciples to turn against him.

It was getting darker and the snowstorm was getting heavier. Su Qing was afraid that Peng Feiyu would not be able to return to Gaocheng before the snowstorm came, so he asked everyone to quickly discuss the preliminary plan. They chatted here for about half an hour before they were divided.

Everyone went back quietly through the crack, Ah Jiu went in first, followed by Su Qing who was caught in her own thoughts along the way.

Qi Jiang was the last one. When he went in, he smelled a smell in the air. He looked back at the darkness with heavy snow behind him, and quickly extinguished the lantern and went into the crevice of the mountain.

The moment the mountain crevice fell into darkness, Su Qing came back to his senses with a tense expression. After entering the air-raid shelter, he asked Qi Jiang who came in last: "Did you find anything?"

"It feels like something has been nearby." Qi Jiang frowned, and took out a bottle of deodorant that he made himself and handed it to Ah Jiu, "To get rid of the smell in the crevice, it's best to seal the crevice and send someone to Keep a good watch."

Ah Jiu was startled, and hurried to do it with the companions guarding the crack. Uncle Li Qi knew how terrifying the thing that even Qi Jiang couldn't find out was, so he immediately said, "I'll be guarding here tonight."

Seeing this, Su Qing also took out two magic circles and handed them to Uncle Qi: "This is a protective circle and a warning circle, and they should be able to block them, and they can be placed by the front door."

The fellow daoists guarding the gate are not as strong, and it is safer to have a magic circle, so Li Qishu doesn't need it... The main thing is that Su Qing brought two of them, and arranged the rest at home.

Uncle Li Qi hummed, and immediately took the array board to make arrangements. Su Qing and Qi Jiang went back to the room by themselves, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Su Qing whispered, "Can you sense the level of that thing?"

Qi Jiang shook his head: "The smell is very weak, we should leave for a while."

Su Qing frowned, and became vigilant in his heart. According to their bloodline level, even if the smell was weak, they should know some information, such as the opponent's general state, bloodline level, etc.

Since I don't know, it must be a very special creature.

The word special is placed on the monster, which often means danger.

There is also a possibility that the strength of that thing is too much, so that it can escape their detection. Although their strength is considered very high now, it cannot be said that there are no strong monsters.

In any case, the comer is not good.

"Don't sleep too much tonight." Su Qing shook off the snow from his clothes and put them back on again, "There will be a snowstorm tonight, I hope this thing is not too difficult."

Familiar footsteps sounded from a distance, and the two looked outside, the door was knocked quickly, and Ah Jiu's voice came: "Senior Qing, Senior Jiang, dinner is open in the cafeteria, are you going to eat or are you here?" Eat in the room?"

"We can just eat by ourselves, we don't need to prepare our meals." Qi Jiang replied.

Ah Jiu said yes, and then asked respectfully: "The two seniors, do you want to wash? Shall I send someone to bring hot water?"

"No, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

"Yes."

Ah Jiu left quickly, and when she returned to the cafeteria, she solemnly told the seniors that they didn't like being disturbed by others, and told everyone not to go there if they had nothing to do, otherwise they would never tolerate anything like that.

In the middle of the night, a big snowstorm swept across the nearby Wanli area, and the temperature dropped rapidly. Even the air-raid shelter, which had always been relatively warm, became a little cold. Everyone resting in the room got up to add quilts and charcoal basins.

The whistling wind outside gradually became strange, and the wind howled, and some tall or short white creatures appeared in the darkness.

The air-raid shelter was warmer and safer than the outside. Everyone went back to sleep after getting up, thinking that the outside was the same as this time, but the wind and snow had increased, and they didn't take it too seriously.

In front of the sealed mountain crevice, Li Qishu sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his spirit sword resting on his lap.

Click click!

The sound of the nearby wind seemed to be a little louder, the roaring wind and snow covered up many things, and the faint sound of digging came. Uncle Li Qi opened his eyes and stared at the mountain crevice in front of him.

No, what roared outside was not the sound of the wind, but a beast's roar that sounded like the howling of a violent wind.

He was startled, he didn't dare to scare the snake, he just pinched the communication jade talisman to inject a burst of spiritual power, and put it away without saying anything.

On the other side, Ah Jiu, who hadn't dared to sleep all this time, sat up from the bed and held the communication jade talisman against her ear. Although she couldn't hear Uncle Qi's voice, she knew it was time to wake everyone up.

He also understood what Uncle Li Qi meant, he didn't dare to scare the snake, but went to wake up the people one by one, keeping them silent, and only asking everyone to be vigilant.

Soon, everyone in the air-raid shelter woke up. At first, everyone didn't know why Ah Jiu called them up. They subconsciously guessed whether there was something dangerous nearby, so they cheered up and listened carefully to the movement outside. , finally heard the animal roar hidden in the wind.

It's so windy!

If Brother Ah Jiu hadn't come to call, they might not have noticed the thing when it came in.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, restrained their breath one after another, took out their magic weapons, and came to the exit and stared at the door in a well-trained manner.

The creatures in the snow didn't attack from the door. Ah Jiu only arranged a few trustworthy people to watch the formation here, and then led the others to the mountain crevice that everyone didn't know about.

Under everyone's attention, the sound of excavation here became very obvious. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Li Qishu gestured for everyone to hide nearby.

Soon, there was no one standing in front of the mountain crack.

chap!

A few minutes later, a small paw covered with white hairs stretched out from the crevice, dug up the soil that filled the crevice, and slowly stretched out an indistinguishable head full of white hairs.

The head was too big compared to the claws, about the size of a human head. The man in the dark looked at Uncle Qi, and continued to stand still without getting his instructions.

There are quite a few monsters like this outside...

The white-haired head turned slightly, and the long white hair on the head slid to the sides due to this movement, revealing a strangely distorted face.

Is this really a monster?How could it have a human face?

Everyone who had never seen such a strange thing felt a chill, and some people's breaths were unavoidably a little messed up.

brush!

The green eyes of the white-haired head immediately looked straight at the corner where everyone was hiding, and let out a sly smile. Several heads protruded from the mountain crevice and shouted, because the mountain crevice was sealed and the space was too small. So they didn't come out right away, but continued to dig the mud with their paws while smiling slyly.

Uncle Li Qi said secretly: "Do it!"

The flying sword turned into an afterimage and wanted to chop off one of the white-haired heads, but his omnipotent flying sword slashed on the white-haired head with a ding sound, sparks flew everywhere, and only a few white hairs were cut off slightly.

"what!"

All the white-haired heads screamed, and a very strange sound wave spread in the sealed air-raid shelter. Uncle Li Qi couldn't help being dizzy from the strange screaming, and he staggered a step and almost spat out.

call out!

A golden light flew over, and the sonic attacks of several white-haired heads stopped suddenly, leaving only pure screams, raging fire burning, leaving only a few puddles of water stains after a few seconds.

Yes, water, not ashes.

Su Qing walked over frowning, glanced at the water stains on the ground, and looked up at the crevice of the mountain, the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified.

Boo!

Su Qing's cry made everyone wake up, and everyone walked to him nervously. Uncle Li Qi frowned and looked at the water stains on the ground: "How could it be water?"

"It's the Snow Clan." Su Qing was still looking at the mountain crevice, and the hunting light bow in his hand ignited flames, illuminating a few pairs of green eyes that were still hidden deep in the mountain crevice.

Su Qing guessed the origin of these things.

The Snow Clan is also known as the snow elves, the sons of the storm, born with the storm, only the royal family among them has an entity, and other people can only appear in snowy days. As long as the royal family does not die, under the premise of sufficient energy, snow Even if the race dies this year, it can be resurrected next year. It can be said that it is an endless, immortal, and inexhaustible race.

Among them, the Snow Clan is divided into two branches, one eats the wind and drinks the dew to escape from the world, and the other eats the flesh and cultivates the body, so it is called the Snow Monster.

Because they are not afraid of death and are invulnerable, so once the snow monsters come out, they will definitely be killed. If Su Qing is not of the blood of the king, these snow monsters in the mountain crevices would have rushed over without hesitation.

But Su Qing's deterrent effect on the snow monsters is not great, otherwise they would have retreated long ago.

Uncle Li Qi was born in a family, so he had naturally read some travel notes in his family. Hearing this, he gasped: "Did we meet that snow monster that eats flesh and blood?"

Hearing the word "blood-eating flesh and blood", Ah Jiu and the others shuddered, grasping the weapons in their hands and looking at the new backbone, Su Qing.

wow~

There were several wind sounds from the cracks in the mountain, it was the snow monster who was probing, Su Qing took a step forward, and the terrifying flame breath made the other party take another step back in fear.

Uncle Li Qi suddenly noticed that Qi Jiang was not there: "Where is Senior Jiang?"

"He's gone out the front door to find the royal family of the Yeti."

Su Qing could feel the aura of countless snow monsters outside. This situation must be because there are royal families who need a lot of flesh and blood to advance. Unless the royal family gives orders, the snow monsters will never leave.

Snow monsters are also divided into many clans. As long as the royal family of the current clan is killed, these snow monsters will not be feared. Otherwise, with the habit of snow monsters, they will definitely harass them every day until they are slaughtered.

That's why Qi Jiang went to find the Royal Snow Monster.

"But isn't Senior Jiang invisible at night?" Ah Jiu was surprised, "Is there nothing wrong?"

Su Qing shook his head, his brother Jiang doesn't rely on his eyes to hunt at night, he just flies too fast and needs light.

Uncle Li Qi looked at Su Qing, he only chopped off a few snow monster hairs with his sword just now, other people's strength is not comparable to him, maybe they can't even cut off a single hair.

Thinking of this, Uncle Qi's expression was very serious: "What are we going to do?"

Su Qing took out all the fire-type spirit arrows from the quiver behind him. Seeing that the number was not enough, he took some out from the space and handed them to Uncle Qi: "I will wait for Brother Jiang's signal, and I will go out to assist him when the time comes." , guard your own home."

The flaming spiritual arrow was golden red, and it became hot when it left Su Qing's hand. Uncle Li Qi was sure, so he quickly distributed it to everyone.

Everyone put away their magical weapons again, and squeezed the hot thin arrows in their hands. Now this is a life-saving weapon, and it is the only one that can hurt the snow monster.

Uncle Li Qi told everyone what to do. Although everyone said they were flustered, they didn't panic, and they all prepared according to Uncle Li Qi's instructions.

"what!"

Amidst the bitter wind, there was a clear and strange scream from a distance, and the eyes of the snow monsters in the mountain crevices turned red, but instead of going back to protect the royal family, they rushed in frantically to draw blood for their royal family. Food enhances strength.

Su Qing snorted coldly, spread her wings and flew out, flames ignited on the hunting bow, and directly hit the snow monster, leaving puddles of water stains.

All the snow monsters in the mountain crevice died, and outside the mountain crevice, there were all snow monsters within sight.

Countless snow monsters lined up neatly in the snow, their red eyes piercing in the dark night, the wind and snow blown away the white hairs on countless strange heads, distorted human or animal faces everywhere, like magic soldiers.

The vanguard of the snow monster army is small in size, these are newborn snow monsters with low strength, referred to as running back.The snow monsters behind are as big as a hill, and these are generals.

Most of the snow monsters rushed to Gaocheng in the snow, and some teams went in different directions to find blood food, and it was one of the latter's small teams that attacked the air-raid shelter.

Boo!

Flames ignited on Su Qing who flew out of the mountain crevice, like a fire bird burning up the nearby snow monsters. There was a trace of fire in the sound waves, and the snow monsters' breath on the sound wave transmission path would more or less wilt.

Roar!

Click!

Qi Jiang was responding to Su Qing, and a flash of lightning pierced the night sky to show him the way.

Su Qing's eyes lit up, and he flew over with flames, leaving pieces of ice where he passed, even the tall snow monsters could not be spared.

The water stains were frozen into ice cubes before they hit the ground, and fell into the snow with a few clicks.

Even if countless companions died unexpectedly, the footsteps of the snow monsters did not stop, and the departure of the king's blood made them even more rampant.

The eyes that disappeared in the mountain crevice reappeared, Li Qishu secretly came and shouted.

"Fellow daoists, form a killing array!"
