Chapter 268: The Frozen Woman and the Waiting White Fox
Behind the wooden door, the ground was covered with ice in a circular shape with a radius of about ten meters.
It was like a round ice bed, and in the center of the ice bed, a snow-white fox was lying on the ground. It was not big, only slightly larger than a small groundhog, but its tail was very long and very big, hovering above the ice bed like a dormant silver dragon.
The little fox noticed Su Mu's arrival, and slowly stood up and looked at the intruder.
Its pupils were a deep purple, and there was a diamond-shaped red mark on its forehead, glowing with red light, and then it made a resentful sound.
After hearing this sad cry, Su Mu also understood that the crying sound he just heard was made by this little fox.
After walking here, Su Mu also understood the terrain here.
This place is on the shore and not far from the main river channel, probably only a few thousand meters away.
Nine tree walls formed concentric circles, like defensive walls, surrounding the last ice bed in the core area, as if protecting it.
At this time, the little fox called softly.
After hearing this voice, the small animal pendants hanging on Su Mu's legs suddenly let go, silently left the place, retreated outside the wooden door, and gently closed the wooden door.
Judging from this performance, this snow-white little fox should be the leader of this group of little guys.
Su Mu took a step forward. The little fox's tail was raised high, and its eyes were fixed on Su Mu's movements. Its eyes were complicated, but more of vigilance.
Seeing the little white fox in a fighting state, Su Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."
He knew that this little fox could understand what he said. After all, the aura of this little fox was very strong and it was a powerful spiritual beast.
After walking a few steps, Su Mu squatted down, stretched out his right hand and touched the ice on the ground. The moment he touched it, his fingers trembled slightly.
The water that solidified into this ice bed is the same as the water in the river outside. In other words, someone transferred the river water to this place and solidified it into such a large ice bed.
Su Mu looked down at the ice surface, saw something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Long white hair, a neck as white as snow, white and plump legs, calves as white as jade, skin as white as cream, and a stunning face. Just one glance at her made Su Mu slightly dazed.
This is a beauty that is rarely seen in the world, a kind of beauty that can take one's soul away and capture the splendor of heaven and earth. She closed her eyes and lay quietly in the ice.
It would be more accurate to say that she was frozen in the ice rather than lying in it.
She was not wearing any clothes, and her body was wrapped in snow-white fox tails, covering her smooth and white body. Only her white thighs were faintly visible, and her bare feet with clear bones and flawless whiteness were visible.
After counting carefully, I found that the white-haired woman was covered with eight snow-white fox tails, which gently wrapped her, and these fox tails seemed to be exactly the same as the tails of this little fox.
Su Mu stretched out his right hand and placed his entire palm on the ice. He spread his spiritual sense and took a look around. He found that the white-haired woman had no signs of life and was a corpse.
Since the water in this ice layer is the same as the river water outside, Su Mu can feel the changes in this ice bed in detail. It is melting!
And it is melting every minute and every second. At this rate, this ice bed will completely melt into water in a year at most. In that case, the body of this white-haired woman will slowly rot and eventually turn into a pile of bones.
It seems that this should be a tomb, which adopted ice burial. This method can protect the body of the white-haired woman from being eroded by time, and keep her body and appearance perfect.
Alas, Su Mu thought he could find some treasure, but unexpectedly he found a tomb and immediately lost interest.
At this moment, when Su Mu raised his head, his eyes met the little fox's. In its eyes, Su Mu seemed to see a hint of... pleading?
Although the little fox didn't speak, Su Mu understood the meaning in its eyes.
The next second, the little fox knelt down in front of Su Mu, and its beautiful white tail drooped to the ground, making a faint sound as thin as a mosquito.
"Is this your master?" Su Mu asked tentatively.
After all, it is quite common for such spiritual pets to guard their masters' graves.
Hearing Su Mu's question, the little fox didn't know how to answer it, but finally nodded.
Su Mu looked down at the white-haired woman on the ice bed, locked his spiritual sense on her, and after a comprehensive investigation, he confirmed that there was no sign of life on the other party.
He is not a god who controls reincarnation, so it is impossible for him to resurrect a life. Even if Su Mu's current means are very powerful, the other party must at least have a glimmer of life before he can be saved.
Moreover, this white-haired woman has been dead for who knows how many years. Even the slightest trace of life left on her body has disappeared. If it weren't for this ice bed, her body would not have existed and would have long since dissipated into the world.
After confirming it several times, Su Mu sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't save your master."
After hearing this answer, the little fox lay on the ground, curled up, very quiet and depressed.
It’s like a little life that has lived for countless years, waiting in the endless time, and there is nothing left except loneliness.
Su Mu had no choice but to leave. He walked towards the wooden door step by step.
When you push open the wooden door, you will find the little groundhogs and little brown bears kneeling devoutly towards the door.
At this moment, they no longer had the unwillingness to admit defeat and unwillingness to accept that had just frantically stopped Su Mu. Instead, they looked at Su Mu cautiously and with hope.
They regarded Su Mu as their hope, so they knelt outside one by one, waiting quietly.
Seeing the appearance of these little guys, Su Mu was also a little touched. It seemed that these little guys had been guarding here for who knows how long, and regarded themselves as the hope to save their owner.
But the reality is cruel.
Resurrecting a person is not difficult for Su Mu, who is at the Immortal King level, but it depends on what kind of life is being resurrected.
Su Mu can resurrect some ordinary people and some ordinary monks.
However, the white-haired woman was obviously not an ordinary person, and she must be carrying a great cause and effect. Such a being, at least for now, Su Mu could not resurrect.
Resurrection is small at the same time as big at the same time.
To put it in a small way, it is just resurrecting a life. To put it in a big way, you have to subvert the entire cycle of reincarnation to resurrect a dead life.
Looking at the looks they gave him, Su Mu also sighed heavily.
He turned back to the door, stepped on the ice bed, walked towards the little fox step by step, and murmured, "Let me give it a try."
