The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 186 Are Your Wounds Alright?

The cold wind is like a knife, mixed with ice and snow from all directions, and the sound of crunching footsteps is mixed with the wind and snow, coming step by step from a distance to a near.

His feet were deeply immersed in the snow, and then he tried his best to pull out his legs. Xu Qingluo's teeth were shivering with cold.

From the soles of the feet to the calves, it seemed to be stiff, cold to the bone, and every step was like a needle prick.

Who would have thought that there would be such a place in the Western Regions that is completely different from the surrounding climate.

Xu Qingluo raised his head and looked into the distance. There was a vast expanse of snow, and all he could see were towering mountain peaks.

Even with Xu Qingluo's ambition, in such a confused situation, unable to see the way ahead and the way back, and the people around him were also lost at the beginning, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed after all.

She, Lang Sheng, Nangong Mo, and a few skilled guards searched for the Ice Absolute Territory.

Except for her, all of them are masters, even Xu Qingluo has a way to protect himself, so he was extremely well prepared.

It's just that the Ice Absolute Territory is really a dangerous place, and it was hard to find this hidden place in the depths of the Western Regions. Unfortunately, just after entering the Ice Absolute Territory, a sudden storm separated several people .

Langcheng held Xu Qingluo's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and Xu Qingluo didn't want to leave Langcheng either, but the Ice Absolute Territory was so weird, and he clearly remembered that the two people's hands were tightly held together , When the big storm passed, there was nothing at hand.

Looking around, there was emptiness all around, among the ice and snow, looking around in a daze, only myself.

At that time, Xu Qingluo actually had a chance to exit, no matter how weird the place was, he had just stepped into it after all.

But just like what Xu Qingluo thought at the beginning, she would not let Lang Cheng die no matter what.

The weirder the Ice Absolute Territory, the more likely it is to find a way to save Lang Sheng.

Therefore, relying on himself alone, Xu Qingluo went further and deeper step by step, until now he could not see the way forward, nor the way back.

Xu Qingluo stretched out her hand to her lips and breathed hard, the breath seemed to be frosty and hazy.

Xu Qingluo tightened the heavy and cold cloak on her body, and continued to move forward.

For Lang Sheng, she had to move forward.

There was no trace of bewilderment in her eyes, replaced by firmness and determination.

The wind seemed to be getting stronger, and a strange sound came faintly from the whistling cold wind. Xu Qingluo suddenly stopped and listened to the faint sound.

That is
Xu Qingluo's face changed, and the faint voice was clearly the sound of a wolf howling.

This place meets wolf.

Xu Qingluo quickly ran towards a nearby mountain peak, the ground was sunken in ice and snow, even if he wanted to speed up, he couldn't run fast at all.

The left foot was sunken, and the one who hadn't come out pulled it out, and the right foot followed quickly, but Xu Qingluo fell to the ground all of a sudden.

The ice and snow on the ground were so thick that it wouldn't hurt her to fall, but this fall missed the best time to escape, and the faint howling of wolves could be heard clearly now.

Xu Qingluo gritted his teeth, and a few silver needles appeared in his palm. Because his hands were so cold and his fingertips were not as flexible as before, he clumsily injected acupuncture points on several points on his body, and then quickly used his hands to push the needles under his body. The ice and snow moved a few times.

The snow under her body hadn't frozen yet and was still soft. Even with her hands, Xu Qingluo dug out such a hole. Even though the hole was shallow, it was at least enough for her to hide.

Xu Qingluo quickly lay down in the hole, covered his mouth and nose during his movements, and then quickly covered his body and face with the snow dug out by himself as if filling the hole.

Alone among the ice and snow, the cold body gradually lost consciousness, the approaching danger, the environment, even Xu Qingluo's mind couldn't help being a little nervous for a while.

She slowly tightened her ten fingers, closed her eyes, and tried her best to lower her heartbeat and breathing to the lowest level.

She has learned some methods of breathing and exhaling, all of which are medical methods of nourishing one's health, and with the help of silver needles, the eyes are naturally the best if they can hide from the wolf's sense of smell, if not, Xu Qingluo tightened her hands Feeling the hardness of the handle of the dagger, it is not impossible for her to fight to the death!

A person like Xu Qingluo, even if he encounters the situation of life and death, is never the kind of person who will really wait for death.

The howling of wolves had disappeared, but the creaking sound of ice and snow gradually lingered in my ears.

And getting closer.

That is not the sound of human footsteps, because human footsteps are not so light.

It will not be so easy to pull out when stepping on the ice and snow.

When the whole body was cold, Xu Qingluo's forehead couldn't help being stained with a thin layer of sweat, but the thin sweat quickly froze and covered his forehead. His head was so cold, but he became more and more awake. .

The light footsteps stopped in front of her, and Xu Qingluo closed her eyes.

Isn't she afraid?

I am also afraid, but more than fear, what rises in my heart is determination.

Xu Qingluo heard the sound of wheezing and wheezing, as if it was right next to his ear.

The snow and ice used to cover his body was still too thin, and the hot breath sprayed from the beast's mouth rushed into the nostrils through the thin snow and ice.

Xu Qingluo's hand held the dagger even tighter. If she was really discovered, she would have the power to strike.

The paws slammed into the thin layer of snow, and the weight of the beast trampled the thin snow to the bottom, almost on Xu Qingluo's body.

Even through the heavy clothes on his abdomen, he seemed to be able to feel the sharpness of the opponent's claws.

The howling of wolves sounded overhead again.

That's... summoning companions.

It found her!
At that moment, Xu Qingluo had only one thought.

Can't let it go on.

Xu Qingluo's eyes suddenly opened, and according to the angle of the paw holding her down, the dagger in his palm aimed at a position and stabbed out.

She didn't know if she could stab the beast's vitals, but as long as it hurt the opponent a little, it was enough.

The howling of the wolf stopped abruptly, but with a wounded roar, a little blood sprayed and fell on the snow. The corners of Xu Qingluo's lips were stained with blood, and he could feel the fishy smell.

The stabbing was hit, but the stabbing was not deep.

He didn't care about regrets or anything else, because the animal claws that were only holding down Xu Qingluo's abdomen slammed down fiercely.

If he was hit directly by such a claw, Xu Qingluo would not be able to survive in such a situation.

The cold and stiff body turned sideways fiercely. In the snowflakes flying all over the sky, accompanied by the sound of the robe being torn, there was a pain in the right side of the waist, and Xu Qingluo left a little bit of blood, a bright red color. Little by little fell into the pure white snow, as if it was full of red plums.

It looks beautiful but also sad.

Xu Qingluo finally saw clearly what was attacking her, it was indeed a wolf, a snow wolf.

The color that is almost mixed with the surrounding snow color has some other colors because of the wound stabbed by her on the abdomen.

If you look closely at the bright red on it, you will find that there is a faint black surrounding it.

The poison on Xu Qingluo's dagger was carefully chosen by her to deal with beasts.

Beasts are much stronger than human bodies, so although the poison above is powerful, what Xu Qingluo places more hope on is the anesthetic above.

The snow wolf opened its ferocious sharp teeth, and the moment Xu Qingluo revealed his figure, he roared almost madly, and chased after the woman, almost turning into a snow shadow. This time, the sharp claws pointed at Xu Qingluo's head shoot away.

No matter how fast Xu Qingluo was, it couldn't be as fast as the snow wolf, even the snow wolf who had been poisoned and anesthetic.

The sharp claws came towards his head and face with tearing force, and the saliva flowing from between the gaping sharp teeth could be clearly seen.

Xu Qingluo's eyes narrowed slightly, there was no way to avoid it, so he did not avoid it.

The moment the beast approached, the dagger in her palm aimed at the vital point of the opponent's neck and stabbed it hard.

It was a blow with all her strength and all her determination, and it was either you or me.

At that moment, Xu Qingluo's beautiful face showed a fierceness and determination that was not inferior to that of a man.

Seeing that Xu Qingluo's dagger was aimed at Xuelang's neck, but Xuelang's sharp claws would tear Xu Qingluo's head, face and neck before that.Rip her apart completely.

Seeing that Xu Qingluo was about to die under the claws of the beast, a sharp weapon pierced through the air and hit the cold wind.

A miserable wolf howl sounded, Xu Qingluo's face was spattered with blood, and his nostrils were full of stench.

The dagger in Xu Qingluo's hand stabbed fiercely between the snow wolf's necks. It penetrated so deeply that he even felt the hindrance of the animal bones. spilled.

There was a loud bang, and Snow Wolf howled and fell on her body.

It was estimated that there was more than 100 kilograms, and when it was pressed down all of a sudden, Xu Qingluo had difficulty breathing under the pressure, and the bones of his whole body seemed to be creaking and moaning.

The wolf corpse was very smelly and ferocious, covering it made Xu Qingluo's already frozen stiff body feel a little warm.

There is a feeling of being alive again, but I don't care about being excited.

Her eyes were extremely bright and sharp, eyes half blinded by blood, looking through the wolf corpse pressing on her body, looking at the figure in plain clothes walking slowly from the depths of the ice and snow.

Gong Ziyan.

Xu Qingluo's eyes were deeply vigilant and vigilant, and the dagger stained with wolf blood was clenched tightly in his hand.

She had known for a long time that Gong Ziyan should have entered the Ice Absolute Territory earlier than she, Lang Cheng and the others. After all, according to Mu Qing, Gong Ziyan also had that Gu poison on him.

Everyone cherishes life, she wants Lang Sheng to live, and Gongzi Yan also wants to live.

In fact, it is not a surprise at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingluo's eyes drooped slightly. Although the guard inside was still there, the dagger in his hand was no longer clenched.

Between the two of them, today is not endless, on the contrary, the appearance of Gong Ziyan may be her opportunity now.

Gongzi Yan just looked at him in the distance, but in just a blink of an eye, he was already near.

Even after he was seriously injured, his skills didn't seem to be weak, which even made Xu Qingluo feel more guarded in his heart.

It's just that this vigilance became weaker and weaker in his eyes.

If you are really wary of a person, the best way is not to fully reveal it on the surface, but to hide it deeper.

When Young Master Yan came to him, all the guard in Xu Qingluo's eyes disappeared, and instead he smiled slightly: "Thank you for saving me just now."

A dagger was stuck deep in the back of Xuelang's head, and Xu Qingluo would have died before Xuelang had it not been for Gong Ziyan to rescue him first.

Gong Ziyan noticed Xu Qingluo's hoarse voice. He looked down at Xu Qingluo who was pressed down by the snow wolf's corpse. Most of the other person's body was soaked in blood, and the ice and snow mixed with the hair on the cheeks and eyebrows. , has never been so embarrassing, but it has never been so moving.

This woman just had a relationship with Snow Wolf, and he saw everything in his eyes, first she hid it, then she fought hard later, and now she is fearless, and there is even a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Just like that day and night in the camp of the Mobei people, she stood in front of Lang Cheng, for that man, even blocked his mortal sword, brave, resolute, and indomitable.

Gong Ziyan's eyes gradually fell on Xu Qingluo's neck.

It was hurt by him himself. At that time, he really wanted to kill Lang Cheng, but Xu Qingluo stood in front of him. For a moment, he thought that since this woman did not belong to him, it would be better to kill her.

If he couldn't get it, he killed it with his own hands, but when the long sword touched Xu Qingluo's skin, when the girl's neck and half of her body was soaked in blood, Gong Ziyan withdrew his sword before his own reason realized it.

Just taking it away like that saved Xu Qingluo from a catastrophe, and saved him from being completely killed by Lang Cheng's cloud-piercing arrow.

At this moment, looking at the woman who even showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth to him, looking at this woman who shocked him time and time again and made his heart flutter, he suddenly didn't regret his soft-handedness at that time at all.

If he had died at that time and let the woman in front of him die with him, how could he still see her lively smile now.

Even if it was just a faint smile, for Gong Ziyan, there was an inexplicable touch.

Xu Qingluo didn't know what Gongzi Yan was thinking at this moment, but when the other party pulled out his own dagger from the back of Xuelang's head, threw Xuelang's body aside, and pulled her up, he relaxed slightly. tone.

It seems that what I thought was right just now, even if the previous two meetings were tense, there is still room for buffer between the two of them when they meet now.

"You are really embarrassed. Why, Lang Sheng is not by your side this time? As a man, he cannot protect the woman he cares about in time. To be honest, he is really unqualified."

Young Master Yan took off his snow-colored cloak from his body, and put the snow-colored cloak on Xu Qingluo's body without paying attention to the blood on Xu Qingluo's half body.

There was warmth on his body, with the aura of Gong Ziyan and the faint scent of medicine, Xu Qingluo was quite familiar with his aura.

There was a feeling of being wrapped in his breath, Xu Qingluo felt a little weird, and subconsciously reached out to block Gong Ziyan's hand helping her tie the neck tie.

"Don't be weak, you need to use a cloak to keep out the cold. Besides, Ah Cheng and I got separated by accident in the Ice Absolute Territory. Who would have thought that there is such a beast here. I believe he will be able to find it in the near future."

Gong Ziyan took Xu Qingluo's hand and held it tightly, Xu Qingluo couldn't break free even with all his strength.

On the one hand, he couldn't help defending Lang Sheng.

If he was talking about her or someone else, I'm afraid Xu Qingluo's temperament would just laugh it off.

Gongzi Yan sneered from the bottom of his heart: "You are full of bloody smell now. If you don't use a cloak, the smell of blood will probably spread far away. This snow wolf has summoned wolves just now."

Xu Qingluo turned his head to look at the half-smile between Young Master Yan's brows and eyes: "Young Master Yan is right. Since it is good intentions of Young Master, it is inconvenient for me to refuse, but is it possible for Young Master to let go of his hand?"

Gong Ziyan reluctantly let go of his hand, but the next moment he hugged Xu Qingluo's waist.

Xu Qingluo stared at him.

Although she wanted to cooperate with Gong Ziyan, it didn't mean she wanted to let others take advantage of her. Gong Ziyan held her hand just now, and if it wasn't an illusion, his fingertips rubbed her knuckles several times.

Xu Qingluo felt uncomfortable all over.

Gong Ziyan laughed softly: "Why do you look at me with such a disciple's eyes? Since you and I meet here now, we can't just reminisce about the past in such a place. The wolves are coming soon, waiting You find the cave yourself to hide in"

The rest of the words were silent, but Gong Ziyan sighed and shook his head: "I thought that Luo'er cared more about practical things than those women's reputation, such as how to escape faster."

Xu Qingluo put his hand on Young Master Yan's arm: "It's true that I wanted to go wrong just now, so please trouble Young Master Yan."

There was a slight smile on the woman's blood-stained eyebrows and eyes, and the whole face seemed to be mixed with a trace of glamorous color.

Even if Gong Ziyan was sure to persuade Xu Qingluo with a few words, he never thought that Xu Qingluo would figure it out so quickly and cooperate actively.

Gong Ziyan sighed: "You always make me feel that I don't know enough about women."

As soon as the words fell, Gong Ziyan picked up Xuelang's body with one hand, grabbed Xu Qingluo's waist with the other, and plundered towards the distance.

Gong Ziyan's kung fu is excellent, but until now, seeing him holding himself in one hand and a hundred catties of wolf corpse in the other, he was able to sink his legs deeply into the thick snow that made it impossible for him to walk out easily. The space flew by quickly like walking on the ground, and Xu Qingluo couldn't help showing a look of surprise and admiration on his face.

This man, who was poisoned by the Gu poison, died not long ago, and was seriously injured, how could he be so powerful? How terrible would he be before he was injured and poisoned by the Gu poison?
At that moment, Xu Qingluo somewhat understood why Mu Qing, as the head of a different sect and the second prince of the Mobei Kingdom who held great power, still had a lot of scruples about Young Master Yan.

Such a person, he may not be able to deal with thousands of troops by himself, but when he wants to do it, he can take the life of any one of them, and he can do things that even thousands of troops cannot do. matter.

Because the speed was too fast, the already violent wind turned into a steel knife like scraping bones, rubbing deeply against Xu Qingluo's naked|exposed cheeks, and even small scars appeared on her cheeks.

The next moment, the wide sleeves of the robe, which smelled of medicine, covered the corners of Xu Qingluo's cheeks and lips, covered her entire head, and also blocked her sight.

It was Gong Ziyan who helped her block the cold wind.

Xu Qingluo kept reminding himself that Gong Ziyan is now an enemy and not a friend, and there is only room for cooperation between the two of them, and they will still be enemies in the future, reminding himself to forget the short-term friendship between Gong Ziyan and himself.

But Xu Qingluo didn't have many friends, and there were not many people who really cared about her. Apart from her parents and family members, Lang Sheng, the two people she had the deepest friendship with in her life were Yang Qian and Gong Ziyan.

Yang Qian was already dead. In order to save her, she died a miserable death because of her carelessness. Now, the only friend she ever recognized is Gong Ziyan.

My heart was inexplicably touched.

When Gong Ziyan stopped, the wide sleeves of the robe fell down, and Xu Qingluo's vision was clear again. The cold wind was still howling, but it was blocked from the outside. This is an extremely low cave, and Gong Ziyan even slightly Bending over to be able to stand up.

"How is this place?"

Young Master Yan turned to look at Xu Qingluo, and smiled at her very warmly. Xu Qingluo remembered how he felt about this man when they first met.

The young master is graceful and gentle as jade.

Gong Ziyan may have a lot of disguises, but Xu Qingluo often thinks of this again in a trance.

For a moment, the way she looked at him softened a little, at least during the period when he was cooperating with her, she was willing to temporarily let go of her guard against him.

"It's rare to find such a leeward and hidden hole in this place."

Gong Ziyan noticed the change in Xu Qingluo's eyes, and his smile became more real. He let go of Xu Qingluo with some reluctance, and walked outside with the wolf corpse in his hand: "The place to live is settled, and the rest I just rely on him to feed my stomach, and I will ask you later."

"It's poisonous."

Xu Qingluo spoke, a little embarrassed: "The poison fed on my dagger should have spread to its whole body by now."

She was indeed hungry. After all, the dry food, cotton coats and tents were all carried by Lang Sheng and the few remaining men.

Xu Qingluo just kept some necessary things just in case.

For example, Huozhezi and silver needles and jade boxes of medicinal materials.

This is for her to catch the temptation after finding the worm.

Gong Ziyan looked back: "You are really the most poisonous flower I have ever seen."

The words sounded like bad words, but in fact his eyes were full of smiles.

"Its meat is useless to us, but it is attractive to other things, and its leather is not bad."

In the end, Gong Ziyan used the wolf carcass to lure a prey. Although he was very hungry and skinny, he finally solved the problem of food and clothing.

Xu Qingluo was suddenly a little thankful that she met Gongzi Yan on the way. Without him, no matter how persistent and strong she is now, she would probably be helpless in the face of such a bad weather and living environment.

Thinking in this way, looking at Young Master Yan who was lighting the branches with a torch, Xu Qingluo took the initiative to say: "I promised you that I would try my best to relieve you from hidden dangers, but now I can't go on by myself. How is the cooperation?"

Gong Ziyan would save her and bring her here, Xu Qingluo thought it was the same as his own.

She was a bit of a burden when he was on the road, but when he really got to the place where the poison was, she had to be there.

What Xu Qingluo didn't expect was that after her proposal, Gong Ziyan didn't say hello casually, but suddenly turned his head and looked at her neck: "Does it still hurt here?"

At that moment, the atmosphere in the cave was inexplicably strange.
