The blizzard is raging. Lin Luoran clutches the dragon’s horns tightly. The wind and snow arrive just before the silver dragon rushes into the ice. Lin Luoran frowns. She instinctively throws out a ball of true fire which only people of Gathering Vitality period can make. It soon disappears into the blizzard.
When the cyclone stops, she has seized the dragon’s horns and dived into the ice lake.
The ice lake that like a mirror cracks soon and crushed ice whizzes past Lin Luoran’s cheeks. Since the Dragon nationality is the king of water, these strange ice and snow don’t have the nerve to make any trouble in front of a silver dragon and leave ways for it.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Luoran has already been underwater. When she notices the trembling of the dragon tail, she gets anxious, wondering if the blizzard has caught her?
The silver dragon has already taken her all the way to the deep water before Lin Luoran takes another move. To her surprise, the water is not cold and leaves rooms for them automatically. Soon the lake is frozen up again and the unknown blizzard fails to catch up.
When Lin Luoran looks back, she finds that the silver dragon’s tail is covered with hoarfrost. It seems that it was hurt earlier.
The thickness of ice on the lake has reached over ten meters. The silver dragon takes Lin Luoran into the ice. They have traveled for so far but they still can’t see the bottom. At the bottom of the lake, they can’t see any algae, not to mention fish. Lin Luoran also can’t find a clue for the fluctuation she noticed before.
She rides a silver dragon to search the vast lake but now she can’t even find a shellfish. Lin Luoran’s instinct can’t go wrong. She reflects that something was ignored and asks the silver dragon to stop temporarily.
Below the sunlit surface waters, there is a dimly lighted place. The swimming silver dragon stirs up some mud from the lake bottom and everything turns blurred. The view broadens when the lake mud sinks down. Lin Luoran keenly senses the gloomy light radiating from a certain part of the lake bottom.
It’s like someone hiding a bright moon in the water. Seeing the rippling water, Lin Luoran feels that the scene before her is quite familiar.
Lin Luoran ponders for a while, she reminds that Yang Guo jumps down into a cold pool in the book Condor Hero. He finds another place under the water. She suddenly has an idea and pats the silver dragon’s forehead.
“Go to that place!”
The silver dragon shakes its body to show it has understood. A person and a dragon swim towards the light source at the bottom of the lake. She and the silver dragon drill into a group of blue light.
The light path is so long and endless. It is extremely difficult for the silver dragon to enter and exit with its huge body. Lin Luoran doesn’t want it to get hurt. When she understands that the small silver fish attached to the dragon bone can still come out later, she let it go back to space.
Lin Luoran walks along the tunnel and finally sees the end after half a day. Behind the translucent light door, she faintly hears the noise from the other side.
She hesitates for a while, but still walks through the door.
At that moment, Lin Luoran has pictured that something is waiting for her behind the door. However, it can only say that life is always more dramatic than novels and the weird world of cultivation—
Demons are dancing in disorder. An encirclement is formed by the various kinds of half-demon and half-men who have undergone the complete transformation, including demons who have a snake body and human head, a tauren face, a long tail and short ears.
It’s easy to see the angry emotions on their faces. What surprises Lin Luoran is the two people standing in the middle of the circle.
One is Baojia who entered the Green Mountains world together with her! She blushes with a complex expression on her face Another embarrassed old man holding Baojia’s right leg is Liao.
Lin Luoran feels her temples begin to throb again.
She steps across the light gate, and makes some noise. Baojia breathes a sigh of relief as everyone looks at Lin Luoran. In the meantime, Liao seems to be strangely resentful.
He is no longer a red-nosed alien now, but the simple old fisherman she saw before in Dongting.
“Nephew, it’s so good that you are here… ” Liao bursts into tears and snots. The armed half-demon and half-men all look at them with hatred.
Liao does not jump here yet, a demon with tauren face throws a metal rod to Lin Luoran.
Lin Luoran feels extremely troublesome. After she escapes an attack from the demon with a tauren, another demon with snake’s tail tries to entangle her. Seeing that the situation turns chaotic, Liao wants to sneak away but is caught by Baojia.
“Settle the troubles you made as soon as possible!”
Liao is grabbed by the collar, and his face turns into eggplant color for a while due to the shortness of breath.
“The old man is trying to take flight! Catch him!”
“They are a team. Don’t let them go.”
“Yes. Human race is the most cunning…”
It turns a chaotic messy when spells burst out all kinds of colors and all kinds of magic weapons are used to attack. Lin Luoran thinks for a while, and she takes out a few “stinky mushrooms” from the space and throws them everywhere. As expected, this place is then filled with sounds of vomiting. As her fingertips move in order, the white mist becomes too thick to distinguish things. She also casts a few arts of nature as bewitchment. Lin Luoran then takes Baojia and Liao away in chaos.
After hiding under the soil for a long time, Liao yells that he is almost suffocated. Lin Luoran finally takes the two out of it.
It is summer here, different from the miles of ice-covered place outside the lake. The deep mountains where they are now are full of the sound of birds. Red berries hung among the branches, apes and monkeys are attracted to climb and pick and birds to peck. This is a harmonious place where the air is so fresh that people can’t help but take two more breaths.
Unlike Lin Luoran and Baojia who stand in the forests gracefully, Liao is very awkward now. He is messy and has a few rotten leaves on his head. He sits on the tree trunk to count ant nests embarrassingly.
Baojia frowns and then stop frowning again for several times. “Is he your uncle?”
Uncle? Lin Luoran recalls the scene of Liao holding Baojia’s leg. She really wants to pretend to be unfamiliar with this old man. Seeing Liao’s eyes rolling around, Lin Luoran also wonders “Why did he hold on to you?”
Baojia turns round to look at Liao, “What kind of history does he have? He still looks the same after so many years.”
Lin Luoran is stunned, and she soon understands what Baojia means. So they were old acquaintances too?
Liao is looking at the sky, Lin Luoran slightly frowns after hearing it. Did Baojia meet Liao when he was out of the earth? The two even travel to the Nami Alliance together… It’s nothing to be separated for some reason. However, how could Liao just happen to sell The Book of the Dao to her in the N2 planet variety store?
“What else are you hiding from me?”
After Liao finishes counting the ants, he hums, “Now our focus is the cyan little fox. If you can’t come up with a solution, it will become an ice sculpture.”
Liao is really good at changing the subject. He fully understands what Lin Luoran wants to know the most. She looks at the mountains and forests surrounded by deep clouds and mist. “I came here after receiving your paper crane. Is this the Green Mountains world? Where is it outside the ice lake? ”
Liao drives away a dull golden monkey with long tail. He picks up a pear in the wild and chews it, “Here and the place outside of the lake both belong to the Green Mountains. Now considering the snow and ice, that little fox will die sooner or later if it can’t become an Arctic fox or we can’t come up with a solution.”
This is the Green Mountains world!
Lin Luoran looks at the mountains. They are really primitive, but the monsters’ personal ability is kind of bad, so none of them can completely humanize. She can also understand why those half-demon and half-men without “Diliu Syrup” look so strange.
“We can talk about what happened when you guys entered the Green Mountains world later. Now I just want to know what the ice and snow outside is? Where is cyan little fox now? ”
Liao is a little bit upset, “I’m the one to be blamed for. Nothing would happen if I ignored that Temple. The cyan little fox is now trapped in the Temple, which causes the ice and snow here. Now it is impossible to return this thing back! ”
Liao searches in his arms for a long time and then he takes out an egg-sized and diamond-shaped red crystal. A few steps away from him, Lin Luoran can still feel hot.
Seeing that Liao doesn’t feel hot, Lin Luoran touches it with her hand, and she is surprised at the abundant fire Reiki in the diamond crystal.
If the crystal with so abundant Fire Reiki is smashed, the whole Earth will be burned to the ground. How could Liao get this big killer?
“The temple you are talking about is located on the ice peak outside, right?”
Liao nods. Lin Luoran points to the diamond-shaped crystal in her hand and asks, “Are you the one who stole this crystal to trigger the ice and snow?”
She has always known that Liao is kind of unreliable, but not the kind dare to make such a big mistake. Just like what written in the Song of Ice and Fire… how dare he touch this kind of fire crystal in the temple casually?
Liao’s face turns into the color of purple eggplants again, “How could it be possible! When Cyan little fox and I went to the temple, this fire crystal has fallen from the altar!”
