Chapter 1 Initial Professional Single Dog(1/2)
At the northern end of the Western Continent is a towering snow-capped mountain with mountains rolling and undulating mountains. Looking from the gray plains in the north, the mountains seem like barriers, closing the junction between heaven and earth.
For the past two thousand years, the snow-capped mountains in the north have always been a forbidden area with few people.
On this forbidden plateau, there is a towering mountain like the ridge of the world, which hides from the hillside among the vast sea of clouds. There are glaciers that are steep and as sharp as walls in the gaps of the mountain rocks. In an ice cave at the bottom of the glacier, a pair of young men and women in distress are struggling to support the cold.
——
Bai Xiao raised his head and looked at the entrance of the ice cave that was dozens of meters high, and his expression became numb.
This is the third day of being deeply trapped in desperate situations.
The dry food has been eaten, and only a little bit of the clear water is left. The surrounding black ice has not melted for thousands of years, forming a cage that seals the sky and the world, constantly exuding a bit of coldness, grinding the prisoners' vitality bit by bit.
Bai Xiao only felt that he was in an unprecedented state of weakness. His body, which was tempered for many years, was as slow as gel, and his every move was slow, making people feel overwhelmed. The beating of his heart also gradually slowed down with the coldness. If this continues, it will not take long for him to completely freeze in the ice and snow.
However, the more fatal problem at the moment is the woman next to him who is in danger.
He was a slender and beautiful girl like an ice and snow elves, with delicate skin like white snow and delicate facial features like black ice. Even under extreme weakness, he had a stunning beauty that made anyone beat.
Qingyue, a childhood sweetheart who has been with Bai Xiao since childhood, the youngest daughter of the tribe's black-robed witch Zhu, was born in Zhuhongzhiyue's curse daughter, and was also a couple who had exchanged vows with Bai Xiao.
At the age of 14, Bai Xiao went deep into the snow mountain with his bone spear, hunting the ferocious beasts with his own strength, and swore to his ancestors with the flesh and blood of the ferocious beasts, and would do his best to protect his beloved person for his whole life... However, Qingyue, now, closed her eyes tightly, curled up in a ball wrapped in the thick fur, and her slightly trembling body emitted unnatural high heat, and her life was in danger.
This is to make things worse.
Bai Xiao sighed in his heart, but it was at this time that Qingyue curse broke out.
As the daughter of the tribe's black-robed witch Zhu, Qingyue's origin was already prominent. However, the night she was born, Zhu Yue hung high in the night sky, reflecting the mountains like blood. The bright red moonlight drooped from the full moon like flowing pulp, and a drop fell into Qingyue's body.
Since then, she has become the curse daughter of the tribe, carrying an unknown curse. Every once in a while, strange high fever accumulates in her body, burning the girl's vitality like a blazing stove. During this period, anyone close to her may be infected by high fever, at the least, they may be depressed, and at the worst, they may be bedridden. Even her biological father cannot withstand the curse of the Blood Moon.
However, since the first curse broke out, Bai Xiao insisted on staying by the girl's side, and silently endured the erosion of the curse with his tempered flesh and blood body.
Over the past decade, whenever the curse broke out, Qingyue would prepare enough precious herbs, and with Bai Xiao's company, she struggled to support her in the snow cave. However, as she grew older, her curse became more and more intense. Until the last attack, ordinary herbs could not be suppressed at all. Only by using a few precious sacred objects in the tribe could they save their lives. However, at the critical moment of life and death, the tribe leader and chief Wu Zhu, who was in charge of the treasure, refused Bai Xiao's request to borrow sacred objects.
The holy objects of the tribe can only be used in important occasions related to the survival of the tribe, and they do not have special effects on curses. Even if they consume precious holy objects, they cannot eradicate the curse. Their rejection is reasonable, and Bai Xiaoxin is unwilling but has nothing to say.
That time, Qingyue was lucky enough to die, but her body completely collapsed. Bai Xiao knew that the next time the curse occurred, the girl would definitely die, so he broke the ban of the tribe without hesitation, carrying the girl on the moon where the mountain was sealed by the holy mountain, and went deep into the glaciers to find the legendary precious treasure that could suppress the curse.
However, the ban that has been passed down for thousands of years in the tribe has its own truth. Every time the thunder and frost moons, the environment at the ridge of the world will deteriorate sharply. Even the giant beasts that are like disasters will hide in their nests to take refuge. Even the most experienced hunters in the tribe may be lost in the mountains. Although Bai Xiao has unique qualifications and skills to train, he is carrying a weak girl in the wind and snow, which is no different from suicide. On the second day after they entered the holy mountain, they encountered an ice and snow storm. The two unfortunately fell into the glacier and were trapped until now.
Seeing Qingyue's curse happening again, Bai Xiao knew that the situation could no longer tolerate him hesitation.
The tall boy took a deep breath, and the blood in his body accelerated circulation, his eyes gradually turned red, and his naked upper body gradually oozed out of blood. The next moment, Bai Xiao opened his mouth and bit his wrist, and blood was gushing. He sent the blood to the girl's mouth, and soon dyed his fair face a messy blood color.
The girl subconsciously swallowed the warm blood in a coma, and soon she was stimulated by the heat to recover from the stimulation of the heat. She opened her eyes, initially a little confused, and then she was shocked.
"Xiaobai, you! Cough, cough cough!"
The blood flowed into the trachea, causing a violent cough. The girl couldn't speak for a moment, but the anger and despair in her eyes were more powerful than any words.
The boy felt the pressure in his eyes and said happily: "You are awake."
A long time ago, the girl had a curse attack that could hardly hold on. In despair, Bai Xiao tried to use his blood to help her relieve the stress.
Qingyue pushed Xiaobai away weakly but firmly, and looked at him with a more severe and resentful look. After a long time, she spoke in a crying voice: "You are such a hopeless fool."
"Well, I know." Xiaobai couldn't help laughing. Although he was scolded, looking at the girl's slightly regaining her angry face, nothing else mattered.
Qingyue cried, "You fool, you can live, we have hope of survival."
"I know."
Qingyue sobbed twice, calmed down her emotions, and said seriously: "And if you do this, it will only make me feel more uncomfortable than if I die."
“…”
"When I exchanged vows, I also vowed to protect you, but now it has become your burden... I will die with my eyes!"
Bai Xiao refused to speak.
Qingyue's eyes were slightly red and she pushed him: "Why don't you speak?"
Bai Xiao resisted the dizziness caused by blood loss, looked at the girl's crying face, and said, "You are so cute and a little fascinated."
"Big fool!" Qingyue finally couldn't help crying.
After crying for a while, Qingyue wiped away her tears and said softly.
"Xiaobai, I'm sorry..."
"Where did you come from, you're talking nonsense again."
"If it weren't for me, you actually..." Before the girl finished speaking, she heard a gurgling beside her, and Bai Xiao fell to the ground in a drowsy manner.
Qingyue exclaimed in surprise, trying to step forward, but found that her limbs were soft and could not use any force at all. Although Bai Xiao's passionate blood slightly suppressed the onset of the curse, it could not relieve her weakness.
On the other hand, Bai Xiao only felt that his life was passing rapidly along the wound on his wrist. Indeed, he was the leading warrior among the younger generation of the tribe. He had been tempered and tried, but at this time he finally lost all his strength. He lay beside the girl, looking up at the out of reach of the cave. Unconsciously, his vision became blurred, he could not see anything clearly, and the thoughts in his mind became chaotic.
In a trance, many people's voices sounded in his ears. He knew that this was auditory hallucination. A well-trained warrior like him would only lose his firm barrier to will and be taken advantage of by the hallucinations of weakness. However, these sounds were so real that he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
Because, that's all things that have actually happened.
"Bai Xiao, I don't want to remind you anymore. You are a promising warrior. He has inherited the blood of the God of War. Don't be entangled with that curse daughter anymore!"
"Child, you have never let me down since I was a child. And as my son, I support you as many women you are willing to find. But the only child... it's better to have less contact."
"Xiaobai, you are playing with that devilish girl again. I want to tell your father to go!"
The voices of his speech were the closest people around Xiaobai, and every word was sincerely considered by him, but at this moment, Xiaobai only wanted to say one word.
"roll."
...
"Oh? Do you actually want me to get out? I thought you were in need of help. Could it be that I was so self-indulgent?"
The next moment, Bai Xiao's consciousness, which was on the verge of dispersed, returned like a tide, and a gentle and elderly voice in his ear was as clear as a spring, which penetrated his heart.
Bai Xiao opened his eyes and saw a strange face.
He was an old man with green eyes, and he looked quite old. His face was densely wrinkled and his skin lacked luster. However, his magical gray eyes seemed to contain endless vitality.
At the same time, Bai Xiao was surprised to find that the feeling of weakness in his body was rapidly disappearing, and even the lost blood seemed to have returned to his body.
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his gaze to his side. He saw the sleeping girl awakening deeply, and a healthy blood color appeared on her face.
It was a rosy color that had not appeared for a long time. For a moment, Bai Xiao became confused again.
He did not hesitate to violate the rules of the tribe's inheritance for thousands of years and went deep into this snow-capped mountain in the desperate situation on earth during the mountain lockdown season. Isn't it just to get the girl's rosy face?
What he saw in front of him was like a dream. In a trance, Bai Xiao thought he had come to the legendary land of ancestors, a place where only the most loyal warrior could go after death, but soon he woke up.
The tribe's promised land will never be open to the Cursed Daughter, so since you can see Qingyue, it means that he is still in the real world and what he sees in front of you is not an illusion...
"Who are you?"
Bai Xiao looked at the gentle old man and asked his own question.
The old man smiled gently and said, "I am Zhu Junshen, a treasure hunter."
Bai Xiao was a little surprised: "Treasure hunt?"
Zhu Junshen said: "It is said that on the ridge of the world in the northern border, there are rare wind and snow flowers growing in the world, condensed with the essence of wind and snow on the edge of the world. They will only bloom in the moons of thunder and frost. I am here to find this thing."
When Bai Xiao heard the old man’s description, he was slightly stunned. He had also heard of that kind of flower. It was extinct 100 years ago...
Sure enough, Zhu Junshen continued, "Before coming, my friend advised me that the strange thing that seized the creation of heaven and earth should have been extinct. But my treasure pointer has always pointed to the north strongly, so I came from thousands of miles away."
As he said that, the old man took out a disc from his arms, and a golden pointer was suspended on the disc. A gold number was constantly jumping on the disc, which was displayed as 99 and 100. However, the most noticeable thing was the direction of the pointer, pointing directly to Qingyue.
Before Bai Xiao could ask, Zhu Junshen said, "After coming to the northern border, I realized that the flowers of wind and snow were indeed extinct. My treasure pointer helped me find another rare treasure that is difficult to find... Little girl, how long has the curse on you?"
Hearing this sentence, Bai Xiao felt a flame ignited in his heart, and the blazing heat exploded, making his scalp numb.
"Do you know her curse?! Can it be resolved?"
Zhu Junshen nodded.
"Then please save her!"
At the same time, Qingyue was as if she was struck by lightning, her eyes wide and could not speak.
The curse that Zhu Yue came to lingered her for a whole decade. In the past ten years, she has not been tortured by this curse for a day. Even in the most beautiful vision, she has no hope of eradicating the curse, but only hopes to delay the time of the attack as much as possible... But looking at the old man who claimed to be a treasure hunter in front of her, she suddenly realized that perhaps this curse is not invincible.
Under the ardent gaze of the young boy and girl, Zhu Junshen said: "In fact, this is not a curse, but a gift that is hard to find in the world..." As he said that, he shook his head again, "However, ordinary people cannot bear such a gift at all. If they cannot guide them well, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a curse. With the cultural tradition of your white-clothed tribe, it is probably impossible to guide and use this power. You have brewed and deposited this power in your body for at least ten years... In ten years, there must be a very amazing person around you to support you."
Qingyue's face turned slightly red, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Bai Xiao, then raised her head and said, "Yes, my boyfriend has been helping me."
Zhu Junshen turned his head and said to Bai Xiao: "I want to thank you on behalf of the demon priests in the world for saving a peerless genius."
"A peerless wizard?"
Zhu Junshen said: "Her talent was cursed in the northern tribes, but in the southern continent, she received a unique gift. If she was well trained, she would be expected to receive apocalypse within ten years."
"Apocalypse?"
Zhu Junshen pondered for a moment and raised his head: "Simply put, it is possible to do such a thing."
The next moment, the old man reached out and pointed to his head, and saw the howling wind and snow outside the ice cave suddenly stagnated, the gloomy dark clouds suddenly opened, and the clear sun and sky pierced like a sword, making the boy and girl with their heads tilted open their eyes.
This magical power of changing the day with his hands was deeply shocked by the two of them.
In the towering snow-capped mountains, the power of nature is most respected. People in the tribe worship not only their ancestors, but also their irresistible natural power has become invisible when the old man raises his hands!
