Lord of Nine Stars

Under the pitch-black night, the violent storm and snow outside the cave were still howling, accompanied by the faint howling of wolves, adding a touch of horror to the night.

The two stayed in silence for a long time, enjoying the rare calm after the fierce battle. After a while, Gao Lingwei said: "Since we have decided to stay here for a long time and fight with the snowflake wolves, then I have to go to the snow forest behind. Pick up some firewood."

Although both of them have hearts of ice and snow and can withstand severe cold to varying degrees, as humans, they still need light and heat.

Rong Taotao's heart tightened: "This"

Gao Lingwei smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly, her gestures looking very cool.

She said: "I am familiar with the terrain here. There is a snow forest not far behind. I will not go deep into it. I will just chop some firewood on the edge and be back in 3 minutes at most."

With that said, Gao Lingwei turned to look at Rong Taotao and said, "Can you hold this place by yourself in three minutes?"

"Yes, yes, but let's go together, shall we?" Rong Taotao looked embarrassed. In fact, he had more ideas. After all, there is only one Xia Fangran. If Gao Lingwei leaves like this, who will Xia Fangran protect? Only when the two of them act together can Xia Fangran take care of them.

But for Gao Lingwei, she had obviously "forgotten" Xia Fangran, or in other words, she had subjectively erased the existence of Xia Fangran as a guardian.

She needed real and dangerous experience to promote her growth, so she didn't plan to seek Xia Fangran's help in anything.

Gao Lingwei said: "The territory we finally seized cannot be abandoned like this. I originally thought we would be attacked from both front and back, but now it seems that God is helping us. There are no wild beasts inhabiting such a natural cave."

As she said that, Gao Lingwei sighed softly: "With a bonfire, there are hot drinks and hot food. You are different from ordinary soul warriors. You need a lot of energy supplies. Only with good logistics can we have the possibility of victory."

Rong Taotao pursed his lips, noncommittal.

A month ago, this place experienced a violent snowstorm that occurred only in 16 years, resulting in an extremely abundant resource of snow realm soul beasts within the three levels. There is no doubt that there will be all kinds of beasts in the snow forest.

If Gao Lingwei left, Rong Taotao knew very well who Xia Fangran would choose to protect.

It's not that Rong Taotao is conceited, but well, this is the fact.

Just one lotus petal left Xia Fangran with no choice but to protect Rong Taotao, not to mention other factors.

Gao Lingwei looked at Rong Taotao's troubled look and suddenly stretched out her palm.

The palm that was about to land on Rong Taotao's head was frozen in mid-air.

Gao Lingwei seemed to realize that such an action was not appropriate. After a moment, her hand that was frozen in mid-air pressed on Rong Taotao's shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, after all, I am also a soul captain.

My real strength is not something you, a little soul pawn, can understand. You were lucky enough to win against me once. Do you really think of me as a weakling? "

"Oh." Seeing Gao Lingwei's determination, Rong Taotao could only nod.

Gao Lingwei's cold palm squeezed Rong Taotao's shoulder hard, as if to give him some confidence, and continued: "While you are resting, you should absorb the soul power quickly. When your soul power is replenished, I will go chop wood." .”

Rong Taotao: "It's been filled."

Gao Lingwei: ""

Rong Taotao looked a little embarrassed and said: "I have basic skills. Even if I fire a snow blast, I have to step back several meters. By the time I rush forward again, my soul power will be full."

Gao Lingwei: "I'm not full."

Rong Taotao: "Then you suck, and I'll open the lotus petals for you."

Gao Lingwei nodded slightly, but said: "Seize every minute, you should practice the soul skill Ice Path now. I have taught you on the way here. The moment you learn it, I will Go out and chop wood.”

Rong Taotao scratched his head. On the way to Baituan Pass, Gao Lingwei had indeed carefully taught how to use the Ice Trail. Unfortunately, Rong Taotao was riding on a horse and his feet were not touching the ground. No matter how talented he was, he would not be able to use it. Failed to learn.

He walked a few steps into the cave, facing the cave wall that was not completely soaked by frost and snow. He thought about it again and stepped on it.

"Crack!"

An ice flower bloomed on the wall.

Rong Taotao's soles were filled with frost, and around his military boots, small icicles filled with frost mist spread out in all directions.

The small icicle was in the shape of an irregular polyhedron. Under the illumination of the white lantern paper cage, it shone with a strange light, really like an ice flower.

Rong Taotao then stepped on it again.

"Crack!"

Another ice flower bloomed. On the inner wall of the grotto that was not completely soaked by frost and snow, Rong Taotao walked out of the "footing point". His body was actually parallel to the ground, and he walked up forcefully.

"Click!" "Click!"

As Rong Taotao stepped forward, unusually exquisite ice-mist flowers bloomed one after another. Within a few steps, Rong Taotao had already stepped on the top of the cave with his feet and his body hanging upside down.

Gao Lingwei: ""

She turned to look at Rong Taotao, her expression quite exciting.

How much do you want me to go?

I was going out to chop wood just now, but didn't you look embarrassed?

"Practice the snow realm soul skill Ice Path!

Ice Trail: Drive two or more ice and snow attribute soul powers to the ankles, and use layer by layer and multiple rendering methods to step on the ice flowers. (Excellent level, potential value: 5 stars)"

The potential value is actually 5 stars?

Isn't this low?

So according to what Gao Lingwei said before, when the Ice Trail reaches the highest level, you can step on it to gain a foothold in the air, and then use your power in the air again?

Rong Taotao, who was hanging upside down on the cave ceiling, shook his body back and forth to feel the solidity of the ice flowers.

Strictly speaking, the posture Rong Taotao maintained at this time was a combination of two snow realm soul skills.

The Ice Path creates a foothold, but what really makes Rong Taotao hang upside down on the wall is still the Snow Step soul skill.

Gao Lingwei turned away, stood up slowly, and said quietly: "Okay, I'll go."

Rong Taotao was confused at that time, and said hurriedly: "Hey, no, don't misunderstand, you have to absorb the soul power first before talking."

"Haha." Gao Lingwei smiled, got on his horse, turned his head, looked at Rong Taotao who was hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cave, and said, "Look at home."

"Oh." Rong Taotao nodded. In an upside-down world, Gao Lingwei acted so decisively.

The clatter of horse hooves, accompanied by her heartless figure, quickly disappeared into the vast wind and snow.

The sound of horse hooves disappeared, but the howling of wolves started again?

Rong Taotao was startled, quickly turned over and fell down, guarding the entrance of the cave.

His hand was filled with frost and mist, and he drew out a square-shaped halberd again. His body tensed and he looked out of the cave warily.

"Woo~"

"Ouch~~!"

The howling of wolves accompanied by the howling of the cold wind made Rong Taotao's scalp numb.

The feeling of waiting is the most uncomfortable, you might as well rush in!

As long as they start fighting, I won't be afraid anymore. I'll just think about how to stab you to death!

"Shua"

Unexpectedly, there was a surge of soul power in Rong Taotao's body, and the cloud dog suddenly came out and landed on the natural curls of his head: "Woo~"

Rong Taotao felt a little moved and said, "Are you coming to accompany me?"

When living and studying on weekdays, Yunyun Dog does like to stay outside, looking at the world curiously with its small black eyes.

But in the north of the wall where the wind is stronger and colder, Yunyun Dog still likes to hide in Rong Taotao's body.

Unexpectedly, when Gao Lingwei left, Yunyun Dog stood up and stayed by his side.

Its small paws scratched Rong Taotao's natural curls covered with frost and snow. This time, it did not dislike the cold.

"Woof! Woof!"

The sudden two barks made Rong Taotao a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Rong Taotao raised his eyes and looked at Yunyun Dog above his head, but unfortunately he looked lonely.

Yunyun Dog flew down on its own, its two big cloud ears flapped, flew on the side of Rong Taotao's shoulder, and barked twice into the cave again: "Woof! Woof!"

Rong Taotao's face froze, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

The direction in which the dog barked was not outside the cave, but inside the cave! ?

? ? ?

Rong Taotao hurriedly turned his head. There was nothing unusual in the dark cave. It could even be called dead silence.

"What did you find?" Rong Taotao asked hurriedly, "Don't scare me. I checked the cave before and there was nothing in it!"

Yunyun Dog, who was tired from flying, lay on Rong Taotao's shoulder, tilting his little head, blinking his small black eyes, and kept looking into the depths of the dark cave.

"Gudu." Rong Taotao's Adam's apple squirmed and his scalp felt numb!

There isn't really anything in there, is there?

In such a fierce battle just now, Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei didn't care about the rear at all. They always felt that the rear was absolutely safe. If there was really a certain type of creature inside, then during the battle just now, there was a sudden sneak attack. Then Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei would It should be gone!

Thinking of this, Rong Taotao felt a wave of fear, but he did not dare to leave the cave entrance.

Go in, can't go in.

Retreat, let alone retreat!

The whole world seemed to be quiet at this moment. I don’t know how long it had been.

The sound of splintering horse hooves getting closer and closer, made Rong Taotao come to life in an instant!

He hurriedly looked outside the cave, and sure enough, a few seconds later, Gao Lingwei rode a tall horse into the cave with wind and snow.

"Back!" Rong Taotao looked happy and said, "You are so fast!"

"Hmm." Gao Lingwei made a nasal noise, grabbed a small tree with one hand, dug her fingers into the tree, and dragged it on the ground for several meters, then threw it away, turned over and dismounted.

The edge of the snow forest was not far to the north of the cave. Gao Lingwei's trip went unexpectedly smoothly. Perhaps the Snowflake Wolf Pack was also a little wary of the snow forest, so their encirclement did not involve the direction of the snow forest in the north.

However, Gao Lingwei would not regard the north as a breakthrough point for escape. She knew in her heart that the Snow Wolf Pack did not set up ambush in the snow forest in the north because there were more ferocious beasts entrenched there.

Gao Lingwei wiped away the frost and snow on her body and chuckled: "Are you scared after I leave?"

This was meant as a joke, but unexpectedly, Rong Taotao actually nodded?

Gao Lingwei looked startled: "Huh?"

Rong Taotao gestured to the depths of the dark cave and said, "Just now, Yunyun Dog seemed to have discovered something going on inside."

As he said that, Rong Taotao turned to look at Yunyun Dog on his shoulder and said, "Really? Is there any creature inside?"

Yunyun Dog didn't seem to understand what Rong Taotao was saying. It just looked at Rong Taotao with a cute face, tilted its little head, and showed its signature cute smile again, spitting out its pink little tongue: "Wow. ~"

Rong Taotao: ""

Gao Lingwei flicked her hand, held a short snow knife, and walked towards the cave: "Look at the entrance of the cave, tear down the wood, and I'll go take a look."

Xue Yejing hurriedly followed, the dark blue searchlight shining into the dark cave.
