Chapter 243 No.30 Act Two Entering the Northern Wilderness Six

The icy sea water engulfed Qi Ziyin in an instant.He quickly lost feeling in his hands, and under the dark water, he could only see white foam surging in the sea, and a blurry ship above his head, burning ragingly in blue flames.

Ning Yue, who was still by her side before, is now hard to find.The young Lord Ye swam his arms vigorously and swam towards a black shadow on the water surface—it was a piece of life-saving ice floe.However, there seemed to be a force in the icy sea water, pulling it desperately to the bottom of the water.

Suddenly, an arm stretched out in front of the young man's eyes.That arm was slender and white, but its movements were not sloppy, but extremely resolute and decisive.He recognized that it was Ning Yue's hand, and quickly grabbed it. Suddenly, he felt that his sinking body suddenly became lighter, and he was getting closer and closer to the water surface. On the ice floe, the one who saved his life in time was the red-haired girl with a white fox in her arms.

"Are you okay? Is there any injury?"

Qi Ziyin vomited several mouthfuls of bitter and cold seawater, trembling all over, but still turned his head to check the safety of his companion.Ning Yue's figure turned into a blur in sight, but gradually moved closer to him.In a trance, the young man actually felt that the other party's red hair was like a burning flame, bringing a warm temperature to the bones.

"Don't worry, Ziyin. Sister Jia and Zeming will be fine. I've already done my best to save anyone who can get on the ice, and the ice under our feet is strong enough. Everyone is already making preparations. I plan to continue walking north along these ice floes... You are too tired these days, let's rest for a while..."

The girl's voice seemed to come from the sky, but it seemed so close at hand.Qi Ziyin was really tired.Although he couldn't let go of everyone on the ship and his friends, but after hearing Ning Yue's comfort, his consciousness gradually blurred uncontrollably.

When he woke up again, there was already a twilight in the sky.The young Lord Ye rolled over and sat up, and found that a fire had already been lit on the ice beside him, and a few fish were still roasting on the fire.Turning his head and looking around, he saw that the surroundings were full of floating ice, and the sea water had long been invisible.And just half a mile away, the three shattered Ye Kingdom's lone ships were actually frozen on the sea surface, and they did not sink completely.

"Ning Yue, Ning Yue, are you okay?!"

The first thing the young man thought of was that girl with fiery hair.Soon, a bright red color emerged from the crowd, narrowing a pair of blue eyes and smiling at him:
"Ziyin, are you awake? We are planning to go on the road."

"Thanks to Xiaoyue, who cast a spell to freeze the seawater at the critical moment, so we survived. Otherwise, if we were soaked in the seawater like you, I am afraid that more than half of the people would have died at this moment."

Leng Jiayun stepped forward, although there was still some worry in her words, joy was written all over her face.

The boy in white realized that he had walked before the gate of hell, but he couldn't recall what happened before. He just stared at the bonfire in front of him and suddenly realized:

"How can I light a fire on ice? What if it melts!"

With Mo Chen's support, Mo Zeming also walked up to him, and stopped him with his hand: "Brother Qi, don't worry. This is the mysterious ice condensed by Miss Ningyue with spells. This little fire can't be cured." Grill it."

Qi Ziyin hurriedly turned his head to look again, only to see tears flickering in the red-haired girl's eyes:

"It's all my fault. If Zeming hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of casting the spell Ningbing. If you could have used this method to save people earlier, you wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation."

"If it weren't for you girl, let alone Ziyin, all of us here must have been buried in the bottom of the sea by now."

Leng Jiayun stepped forward and gently wiped the corners of the girl's eyes.The white fox in Ning Yue's arms also whimpered softly, sticking out its tongue to lick the tears on her face.

The young Lord Ye didn't want to see his companions again and continue to blame himself, so he quickly changed the topic:
"Where's Peng's fleet?"

"The enemy ship is still far away from us. Now the solid ice condensed by Xiaoyue keeps them on the sea several miles away, and they will not be able to catch up here for a while."

The woman in purple pointed to the distance behind her.

Qi Ziyin had just gradually remembered what happened before he fainted, and turned his gaze to the endless ice cap in front of him, but his face was worried.After all, the further north one goes, the worse the weather will be.But for him who just recovered a life from the ice sea, what he worries about is not his personal life or death, but the uncertain fate of thousands of people around him.

"I remember, Ning Yue once said that she planned to continue going north?"

"Well, I've sent someone to investigate right now. From here, go forward for a few miles and climb over the towering ice ridge ahead, and you will be able to see the land."

Leng Jiayun nodded in response.Following her gaze, the young man realized that there was a flat spot like a high wall suddenly raised on the ice surface not far to the north.The ice surface under everyone's feet seemed to have been chiseled by knives and axes, and it was neatly divided into two, forming a seemingly insurmountable ice ridge.

"Okay, then let's continue going north!"

In response to this, the young Lord Ye did not back down, but stood up vigorously.The crowd on the ice also got up one after another, as if they had also cheered up after seeing that the leader was safe.

However, at this moment, a few muffled sounds came from behind, and immediately the Xuanbing under everyone's feet trembled violently.Accompanied by creaking and cracking sounds from far and near, the wreckage of Ye Kingdom's lone ship, which was frozen in the water, also suddenly broke away from the ice layer and quickly sank into the water.

"It's the Penguin army! Those bastards who are devoid of conscience are going to kill us all!"

Among the survivors around Qi Ziyin, there are only a few hundred Yujing Wuwei and Ye Guoxuanjiabing, and the rest are ordinary people who are unarmed and have never even touched a weapon.Facing the menacing Pengguo boat master, the crowd once again rang out desperate wailing one after another.

At the same time, behind everyone, the shadow of the Five-Year Ship of the Peng Kingdom reappeared.Although there are only four of the dozen or so warships that the opponent originally commanded, one can still tell from the dark blue hammerhead shark-patterned horn flag hanging from the towering mainmast that one of them is Yu Li's commander. flagship!

"Don't be afraid, everyone, go north and get over that ice ridge as soon as possible!"

Looking at the chaotic crowd in front of him, Qi Ziyin said loudly.

But soon, he saw that the five-toothed warships in front of the thick black ice not only did not slow down and drop anchor, but accelerated and rushed straight towards the ice.There were a few loud clicks again, and the ice cracked, but the Penguin warships were not damaged at all.

It turned out that the reason why Yu Li lingered in the Baisha camp for several months was not just to search for supplies going north.He has led troops to sea all year round, and he knows the power of ice floes in the sea.The black iron smelted by Ye State is world-famous, so he just used the iron ingots in the camp that were originally used to make armor, and added huge rams to the bows of the five-tooth warships, turning them into sharp ice-breaking weapons!

"Prepare the crossbow, aim at the crowd on the ice, throw another thirty cans of blue flames out, and let them know what will happen if you fight against this general!"

At this moment, Yu Li was standing on the towering podium of the flagship, pointing to the small figure like ant on the ice in front of him, and ordered, cold and heartless.As he said, he turned his head and glanced at Zi Yuan standing beside him, and saw that instead of stopping her, she seemed to be appreciating himself, and immediately answered another sentence:
"Catch that kid in Ye Kingdom who likes to wear white clothes, and that red-haired demon girl next to her alive! The rest of you, don't keep a single one alive!"

Under the threat of [-] "Orphan Army" armed with firebolts, the junior sergeants of the Peng Kingdom dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, so they had to obey the command of the general and continue to break the ice and drive straight in.

Long before the expedition, they had divided the barrels of blue flame into fist-sized, narrow-necked jars made of terracotta.The mouth of the jar is stuffed with cloth strips, and then sealed tightly with clay.When ready to use, just ignite the cloth strip exposed outside the mouth of the tank, and throw it towards the sides of the ship by manpower.Wherever it touched, the body of the tank burst, and the kerosene contained inside scattered and splashed, and where it touched, the blue flame lasted for a long time.

This is the killing weapon thought up by Ying Ren, the leader of the Peng Kingdom.However, when he was in Baisha Camp, Yu Li improved this already powerful weapon again.Now, in the tank full of blue flames, a medicine bag made of saltpeter, sulfur, and black flame medicine was deliberately stuffed.

This recipe was originally used to fire bolt guns and cannons.Now mixed with the blue flame, once it is ignited, it will produce a more violent explosion, which is called "Heaven Fire Thunder".

Now, the sergeants on the ship continued to throw the skyfire thunder with the crossbow.The dark black clay pot landed not far behind Qi Ziyin and the others, and the green flames soared into the sky, the sound was like thunder, and the ice shards were scattered in all directions.A wall of fire immediately formed on the ice behind everyone in Ye Kingdom, and they had no choice but to be driven away by the opponent and continue to flee northward.

The originally solid and thick black ice under their feet was also cracked under the constant impact of the Peng warships and the repeated bombardment of the skyfire and thunder.The gap expanded rapidly, the narrow part was several inches, and the wide part could reach several feet. The speed of its spread quickly exceeded the limit of human legs' ability to escape.

At first, everyone was able to avoid the cracks in the ice.However, amidst the sound of explosions one after another, the mysterious ice gradually shattered and collapsed, peeling off from the vast ice shell, forming isolated ice islands on the sea.The panic among the crowd grew stronger, and they all pushed and shoved, scrambling to jump over the ice crack and continue to escape.But as the chasm grew, many of them fell into the water beneath the ice, engulfed in piercing darkness.

Only less than [-]% of the people fled to the ice ridge several miles away.Along the way, Qi Ziyin held Ning Yue's hand firmly.The two stopped, and each kept waving to the frightened crowd around them, telling them to cross the ice ridge as soon as possible.

"If you know how to use a knife, follow me!"

However, Qi Ziyin suddenly let go of the girl, turned around and pulled out the teeth from his waist, and ordered the left and right soldiers to stop.At first, the armored soldiers mixed in the crowd were unable to react, but soon, more and more military guards in sun armor and the Ye army in black armor gathered around the young Lord Ye again, and Three horn formations were listed on the ice, forming the horns of each other, closely guarding behind the crowd.

At this time, the Peng Guo fleet was only a hundred or so steps away from the people under the ice ridge.However, they also understood that even if their ships were equipped with iron horns, they would not be able to shake the ice wall in front of them that had been frozen for thousands of years, so they had to gradually slow down the speed of the ship, preparing to disembark and form an array. The remnants of the country were wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Little Master Qi, it should be more than four years since I met you on the execution ground in Mulu City. Unexpectedly, you are still running for your life in such a desperate situation, like a bereaved dog, even the loyal followers around you Life is almost lost!"

Yu Li held his broad-backed saber called Jianyue upside down, stood on the bow of the ship contemptuously, and said to Qi Ziyin, who was fighting with his back on the ice field under the ship, with the utmost sarcasm, "If you surrender obediently today Well, this general can still spare these people's lives. If you resist stubbornly, none of you will leave this ice field alive!"

"A dog that loses its home - that's quite true! But the children of Ye Kingdom and I will never forget that I owe my homelessness to whom! Since you ordered the massacre of the city before, do you now think that we are the only ones who are homeless? Will any one of you easily believe your nonsense?!"

The young Lord Ye retorted fiercely, and then pointed the point of his knife at the soldiers from Peng who filed out from the five-tooth warship, "I advise you not to make trouble for the tiger again. Otherwise, how would Yu Li treat us today?" Yes, we will definitely use the same means to deal with you in the future!"

"Mr. Ye, we can't help ourselves. If you are really kind, then don't hold back, otherwise, besides many more people will die and more blood will be shed, the ending will not be the same?"

A captain of the Peng Army stepped forward and loudly persuaded him to surrender, which forced Qi Ziyin to hold the Yin Ya in his hand even tighter:

"In the eyes of the few, as long as you fight hard, the ending will be different!"

Yu Li on the ship seemed to be watching a rather absurd funny show, at first he had been putting on airs, but now he burst out laughing:
"You can't control yourself! Now I have more than five times the number of people under your command, and I have firebolts, skyfires and thunders to help you out. What else can you use to win? But this general also wants to see, you, Ye Guogong's cowhide How did it break!"

He said, waving his hand vigorously.Suddenly, hundreds of half-grown children with fire bolts appeared on both sides of the ship.The soldiers of the Peng Kingdom on the ice had also lined up at this time, and launched an attack with broad swords and long halberds!
But what Yu Li didn't expect was that the motley army in front of him, who he thought would fight to the death, didn't respond to the charge and just stood there quietly.And Qi Ziyin, who had sworn so firmly before, was just protecting the red-haired girl beside him with a sword, without changing his face.

He suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, and immediately wanted to order to retreat, but it was too late.

From a distance, the attacker saw a flash of bright red suddenly appearing in front of the opposite army formation, and it shot up into the sky like a ball of flame.Immediately afterwards, fire actually sprang out from under the black ice, and burned directly towards the people and the ship!
At first, most of the soldiers in the Peng Guo Army thought that the flames rising out of thin air were their own illusions.However, soon, the severe pain caused by the burning made them realize clearly that it was not a trick, but a red flame that could really kill people!

The deadly high temperature immediately burned the Pengguo soldiers who rushed to the front into charred human figures.The people behind turned around and tried to escape, but the originally hard ice under their feet melted in an instant.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command lost nearly half in an instant, Yu Li couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment.He knew that all of this was caused by the red-haired girl, so he immediately ordered the children on the ship to fire bolt guns to the shore.

However, before the order was conveyed, the fire on the ice had already spread along the side of the ship. After all, there were only half-grown children in the "Orphan Army", and they all shrank back when they saw this.However, the boxes of skyfire mines piled up on the deck were instantly ignited by the fire, causing a violent explosion!

For a moment, blue flames rose from the solid ice with loud noises, and a moment later destroyed the flagship of Peng Guo, turning it into a ball of ashes.While Yu Li, who had abandoned the ship and fell into the water, was carrying Zi Yuan on his back and waiting for the other ships to come to pick him up, Qi Ziyin and Ning Yue had already successfully led the survivors over the ice ridge and headed for the depths of the vast northern ice field.

In this way, even if Yu Li and the Penguin fleet wanted to chase after being blocked by the ice wall that stretched for several miles, they would not be able to catch up for a while.
