Chapter 345 347 Ice Spring (2)

But in just half a month, the world that was once lush green and full of blooming flowers turned into a world covered in silver.

Before leaving the safe zone, Rong Xianxian exchanged a nearby map before the snow fell at the official exchange of the safe zone.

I also prepared a full set of equipment, including skis, ski poles, ski suits, and windproof sunglasses to protect my eyes. I put them on immediately after leaving the safe zone.

If the soldiers who were defending the city had seen how they were dressed, they might not have stopped them from leaving the city.

As soon as Rong Xianxian pointed in a direction, Xiao Luo cheered and rushed out on his skis like an arrow. Xuanxuan followed closely behind. The two children were wearing black and red ski suits, which were very conspicuous in the white snow. The skis under their feet were bright blue.

Rong Xianxian felt the whistling cold wind and came to a big tree. Thick icicles hung on the branches. Through the icicles, she could vaguely see the crisp green on the branches.

Cui Lie manipulated the flying knife in his hand, "swish, swish, swish", and cut off many thick branches. He took out the black and red cloths that had been cut long ago, tied the cloth to the branches as flags, and stuck them in the snow, inserting a flag at regular intervals.

While Rong Xianxian was concentrating on watching the two children's movements, she was talking to Cui Lie, "I know it's easy to get lost in the snow, so I brought a compass with me. These flags can help point the way, but if we put flags everywhere we pass by, it would be too much trouble, right?" Before setting off, Rong Xianxian, at Cui Lie's request, brought a lot of dark-colored cloth. At that time, Rong Xianxian didn't know what they were for. Now, looking at Cui Lie's actions, she felt a little disapproving.

"Walking in the snow is a very dangerous thing. It can easily cause people to suffer from snow blindness, lose their sight of the direction, and thus get lost." Cui Lie said as he inserted the flag.

"We all wear windproof sunglasses, so we don't have to worry about the strong light reflected from the snow damaging our eyes. Will this cause snow blindness?" Rong Xianxian had heard of snow blindness before, but she thought it was caused by damage to the eyes caused by the strong light reflected from the snow, so she specially prepared windproof sunglasses for everyone.

"Wearing sunglasses can protect your eyes from strong light, but it cannot prevent snow blindness. The main reason for snow blindness is that there is nothing in the snow, and everything is white. People's eyes are always tirelessly exploring the world. When they can't find any other landing points in the world, they will suffer from snow blindness due to emotional tension." The training Cui Lie received in the army included how to adapt to and deal with various extreme environments.

Rong Xianxian felt that what Cui Lie said made sense. Looking at the black and red flags fluttering in the wind within her sight, she felt much more relaxed.

"Xuanxuan, Xiaoluo, slow down." Rong Xianxian saw the two children skating very fast as if they were competing with each other. She quickly chased after them and shouted from behind.

I don’t know if they heard it or not. The children were like birds out of a cage and horses out of their reins, ignoring Rong Xianxian’s cries. Rong Xianxian regretted bringing these two out.

They didn't know how far they had run. Cui Lie was afraid that Rong Xianxian couldn't take care of two children alone, so he ignored the work in his hands and quickly chased after her.

The two children slid down a steep slope in front of them. The children's excited shouts echoed in Rong Xianxian's ears. Rong Xianxian hurriedly activated the speed talisman and caught up with them.

"Roar" Rong Xianxian had just noticed the figures of the two children when she heard a manic roar in her ears.

Xuanxuan fell down on the snow and sank into a snowdrift. The skis under her feet flew out. She was trying to stand up clumsily, but the snow was soft and she struggled, but sank deeper and deeper.

Xiao Luo stood in front of Xuan Xuan on his skis. Right in front of him stood a huge long-haired monster, about four meters tall, and similar in appearance to a bear. The monster's fur was snow-white, blending in with the environment. If it weren't for the tuft of short brown hair exposed on its belly after it stood up, it would have been difficult to spot.

In front of the monster, Xiao Luo's tiny figure was like an ant standing in front of an elephant.

However, although they were small in size, the clothes on their bodies were very conspicuous. The monster's blood-red eyes stared at the two small ones, and the big furry palm, about half a meter long, slapped Xiao Luo. Behind him, Xuan Xuan was still struggling in the snow. Xiao Luo did not dodge, but pulled the flaming bow and shot steadily at the monster's eyes.

The arrow was like a meteor, arriving in an instant. The monster either didn't pay attention or didn't notice it. It only realized something was wrong when the arrow was in front of its eyes. It was too late to dodge. "Bang", the arrow more than ten centimeters long pierced its eye, but only one-third of it went in.

"Ah" the monster howled miserably, grabbed the arrow, pulled it out, and threw it towards Xiao Luo. At the same time, a foot that was bigger than Xiao Luo's body stepped over.

At this critical moment, Rong Xianxian had already rushed over, picked one up, turned around and ran away.

The monster got on all fours and ran towards them, roaring. The bright red blood dripping on the snow was extremely eye-catching. The monster was chasing Rong Xianxian closely.

Cui Lie had already caught up by now, and threw a flying knife wrapped in the power of thunder and lightning at the monster. However, the sharp flying knife could not pierce the monster's fur at all, but made the monster even more manic. The wound in its eyes, which was just dripping with blood, was now gradually healing.

The flaming bow in Xiao Luo's hand is a spiritual weapon. Once it hits, the wound is not easy to heal. However, the place where this monster was just injured has already scabbed.

Cui Lie opened his palm and threw a lightning ball at the monster. With a "bang", the lightning ball exploded on the monster's body. With a "wow", the monster roared. With a "puff", an ice cone spit out of its mouth. Cui Lie quickly dodged to the side. With a "bang", the ice cone drilled into the snow, leaving a small round pit in its place.

The monster attacked by the thunder ball was unharmed, and with a roar, it rushed towards Cui Lie.

After settling Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan, Rong Xianxian took out the Soul-Devouring Sword and rushed forward in the foggy space. The monster seemed to sense the danger from the Soul-Devouring Sword and roared. The long hair on its body stood up and the hairy monster swelled up, becoming a circle larger than before.

Rong Xianxian chopped forward with her sword, only to feel that the broad and sharp blade of the Soul-Devouring Sword seemed to have cut into a soft, elastic, jelly-like substance. After several attempts, she found that the Soul-Devouring Sword in her hand could not even cut through the monster's defense. She kept changing angles, testing the direction of attack, and cooperating with Cui Lie, one at a distance and one at a distance, to fight the monster together.
