"Thank you, Gu Xianjun, thank you, Gu Xianjun!" Xiao Feng said excitedly, and was about to salute Gu Qingxi again.
"No need." Gu Qingxi stopped him from saluting, "You will have to work harder on the road ahead."
"It's my duty, Gu Xianjun, don't worry." Xiao Feng suppressed his excitement and made repeated assurances, his eyes full of gratitude.
Xiao Xu looked up at Gu Qingxi and whispered, "Thank you, Gu Xianjun." After saying this, he quickly lowered his head again, as if the person who just spoke was not him.
Seeing Xiao Xu like this, Gu Qingxi smiled and whispered, "You're welcome."
I don't know why this child is so wary of people, but now she is a little relieved to see that they are a little relieved.
In the early morning, the sky gradually brightened, and those resentful creatures really retreated quickly.
The sun slowly rose, and the sunlight sprinkled on the huge lake, which made people feel a little relieved.
Someone found a way to contact the disciples of Qianshan Snow Palace and explained the situation here in detail.
The disciples of Qianshan Snow Palace would come to check soon, so Gu Qingxi and the others did not stop and prepared to move on.
However, everyone was a little scared about crossing this ice lake.
After all, the evil spirits last night all came down from the ice lake.
"It's okay, don't make a lot of noise, just go through it quickly." Gu Qingxi's words put everyone at ease.
The sled pulled everyone across the ice lake, and everyone held their breath and dared not speak.
The monk driving the sled also drove the snow mastiffs and ran at the fastest speed.
It took nearly two hours to cross this ice lake, and everyone's hearts were finally completely relieved.
The rest of the journey was much safer.
Xiao Feng was not lying when he said that he was experienced. In windy and snowy weather, he could guide the direction the fastest and most accurately, and he would also find a suitable place to camp the fastest.
There were also guides on the other two sled teams, but compared with Xiao Feng, they were indeed slightly inferior.
Gu Qingxi decided to increase Xiao Feng's reward, but Xiao Feng refused it resolutely.
"Gu Xianjun cured my arm and protected me and my brother. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness, so how can I ask for Gu Xianjun's reward?" Xiao Feng said he didn't want anything, so Gu Qingxi had to give up for the time being.
It's not that they haven't encountered snow beasts along the way, but when everyone is united, these snow beasts are not to be feared.
The monks on the three sleds all took Gu Qingxi as their leader. No sled was willing to travel separately, and they all followed closely behind Gu Qingxi's sled.
These more than one hundred monks have completely regarded Gu Qingxi as their leader.
That night, Xiao Feng found a suitable place to camp again, and everyone settled down.
Gu Qingxi and Lu Tianyu whispered to each other: "Little brother, the further you go, the greater the spiritual power suppression. Was it the same when you came to Qianshan Snow Ridge before?"
"No, it's not that serious. This time it may be that the formation is loose, which leads to such a great suppression of spiritual power." Lu Tianyu frowned slightly.
"Then, is it possible that some of the formations are not loose, but have been damaged, so it is more serious than before?" Gu Qingxi guessed.
Lu Tianyu's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It is very likely. If the formations on the edge of Qianshan Snow Ridge are damaged, more snow beasts will invade, and the formation masters will rush to repair the formations. What we have to do is to stop all these snow beasts and prevent them from entering Qianshan Snow City."
There are some words that Lu Tianyu did not say, for fear that it would make the little sister worry.
If Qianshan Snow Ridge can't stop these snow beasts, then the cities behind Qianshan Snow Ridge will suffer, and countless lives will face this disaster.
For thousands of years, Qianshan Snow Palace has been like a high mountain, blocking all the crises of Qianshan Snow Ridge behind.
This time, I hope I can hold on.
At night, the monks are more alert. Because there were also snow beast attacks last night.
As expected, in the middle of the night, there were indeed snow beasts attacking.
Everyone calmly set up formations to resist the enemy, determined to kill all these snow beasts.
Gu Qingxi also drew her sword, but she did not move away from the campfire. She wanted to protect Xiao Feng and Xiao Xu.
Xiao Feng quietly hugged his brother and sat by the campfire near the snow mastiffs. He was not worried at all.
Because he felt that Gu Xianjun was the most powerful among all the people here, and he didn't have to worry at all with her protection.
But this time, the snow beasts seemed to be more and stronger. They broke through the monks guarding in front and killed directly into the camp.
A snow beast pounced fiercely at Gu Qingxi. Gu Qingxi was not in a hurry. She stood in front of Xiao Feng and the others and stabbed a sword steadily.
The snow beast let out a miserable howl, and its whole body fell from mid-air, hitting the snow heavily, setting off a strong airflow.
However, something unexpected happened. From the thick fur on the back of the snow beast, a small snow beast with a short stature and extremely fast movements jumped out, and pounced fiercely at Xiao Feng and Xiao Xu with lightning speed.
Xiao Feng's face suddenly changed, and he immediately hugged Xiao Xu tightly in his arms, with his back to the snow beast, as if he was going to use his flesh and blood to protect Xiao Xu in his arms.
Gu Qingxi's eyes turned cold, and he was about to stab with a sword again. This snow beast is not simple! At least it is also level three! With such speed, it is more difficult to deal with than an ordinary level three snow beast.
However, at this time, Gu Qingxi was surprised to see Xiao Xu in Xiao Feng's arms stood up at an incredible speed, stretched out his right hand, his arm swelled, and his sleeves burst in an instant. His right hand turned into a sharp claw in an instant, and fiercely tore the level three snow beast in half with one claw.
Killed with one blow! Clean and neat.
The power and speed that Xiao Xu burst out at this moment surprised Gu Qingxi.
The appearance of that right hand is indeed no longer like a human hand. It is three times the size of an ordinary person's arm, covered with white fur, and the fingertips are sharp, flashing with cold light.
Xiao Xu's hat also fell to the ground, revealing his head.
When Gu Qingxi saw Xiao Xu's head clearly, she was stunned.
Xiao Feng was shocked and hurriedly put the hat on Xiao Xu again. He also tried to cover his brother's arm. He didn't expect his brother to burst out with such power at this moment, and thus exposed his half-demon identity.
Xiao Feng was worried. What if the monks knew his brother's identity and refused to take them with them?
"You, why did you..." Xiao Feng said sadly, his voice full of annoyance and worry.
"But if you don't do this, you will get hurt." Xiao Xu replied in a deep voice.
"Please don't chase us away, Gu Xianjun." Xiao Feng spoke to Gu Qingxi with difficulty.
Gu Qingxi came back to her senses, and then looked confused. Chase away? Why did she chase them away?
Such an experienced guide, who doesn't want money, why did she chase them away?
Gu Qingxi was stunned just now because she saw Xiao Xu's ears, two furry, big and furry ears like a fox!
Everything made sense.
Why is Xiao Xu so wary of people? I think he has suffered a lot of unfair treatment in the past.
The specialness of half-demons, neither human nor demon, has led to the unwillingness of both sides to accept them.
Humans think that half-demons are not of our race, and the demon race thinks so too.
So half-demons have always had a hard life. The fifth senior brother is an example.
Xiao Xu roasted his hat by the campfire and never took off his hat because he was afraid that people would see his ears that did not belong to humans.
"I won't chase you away, don't worry." Gu Qingxi nodded and agreed solemnly.
Seeing Gu Qingxi's solemn agreement, Xiao Feng's worries were slightly relieved. He hoped that others would not care that his brother was a half-demon.
However, this hope was naturally extravagant. The three monks driving the sled next to him saw the changes in Xiao Xu's body, and their eyes flashed with surprise and a hint of strangeness.
It's a half-demon!
The child was actually a half-demon.
