Chapter 1179: Ice City
"Hey..."
The loud and high-pitched whistling of the white falcon went straight to the sky.
At a glance, the Beichuan Ice Region, which is quite high above sea level, is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles.
The white snow-capped mountains are continuous and imperceptible, just like the icicles supporting the sky.
All the vegetation, trees, glaciers and rivers are covered in silver, as if they are forever embraced by the winter wind and snow, frozen infinitely.
...
The land of Beichuan is inaccessible.
However, at the foot of the mountain in the south, there is an 'Ice City'.
As the city's name suggests, the entire city seems to be wrapped in a thick layer of ice. From a distance, the walls inside and outside the ice city, and the roofs of the buildings seem to be inlaid with a clear crystal...
Especially when the sun came out, under the brilliant light, the whole city looked dazzling and luxurious.
The area of the ice city is not very large.
But the population in the city is quite a lot.
Bustling and bustling.
In the lobby of the houses on both sides of the broad street, water mist and white air are constantly floating out.
...
"I didn't expect there to be so many residents in this kind of place."
Xifengzi said with some surprise.
After nearly two months of travel, Chu Hen, Long Xuanshuang, and Xi Fengzi finally arrived at the Beichuan Ice Region smoothly...
I was somewhat surprised by the ice city, a city full of regional customs.
Walking on the streets of the city, looking at the crowds and vendors coming and going, the fatigue on the road seems to be swept away.
The yin-yang beast Nino was thinking about his little paw, looking here and there, as if he was a little curious about this ice city covered by ice and snow all year round.
...
Chu Hen smiled slightly,
"The residents who gather here are not the original residents of Beichuan, they are basically moved from places outside the Beichuan circle."
"Oh? What about the local residents?" Long Xuanshuang asked curiously.
Chu Hen shook his head, "It is said that they all died..."
Before setting off from Wuzong, Chu Hen not only listened to the old man in Zangshuge tell about the past of the Beichuan Ice Region, but also checked many other historical records one after another...
Back then, with the fall of the Ice Emperor, the land of Beichuan was left unprotected, and the original Beichuan ethnic group gradually declined.
Later, the population of the Beichuan ethnic group became smaller and smaller.
As time passed, they were slowly left behind in the long history of thousands of years.
...
However, people from other nearby regions gradually gathered here in the ice city.
Then a commercial path to connect with the outside world was established.
After all, many people come to Beichuan every year for various reasons.
Some people have discovered a chain of interests from this.
...
"Ice sculptures, ice sculptures chiseled with 'Snow Soul Essence', ice sculptures that won't melt under high temperatures, everyone, come and see."
The big and small vendors on the street shouted at the top of their voices.
Looking along the line of sight, a cargo platform is filled with exquisitely crafted and lifelike ice sculpture crafts.
There are falcons soaring, roaring tigers, and graceful dancing girls...
Different from the ordinary ice sculptures, these ice sculptures exude a strong mysterious cold air, which can block the temperature of the outside world. Even if they are taken away from here and returned to the outside world, they can be preserved for a long time.
In the ice city.
It wasn't just Chu Hen who came from outside, there were other people who stepped in that were dressed differently from the locals.
Seeing them, the vendors on both sides shouted harder.
...
"Firefox clothes, Firefox clothes, precious clothes that can withstand the cold wind of Beichuan, and must-haves if you want to enter the ice region of Beichuan."
However, at this moment, a loud cry of selling came to the ears of Chu Hen and the others.
I saw a peddler in front of me displaying three red fox-fur robes on the counter...
Each toga exudes a scorching aura, and faint red light patterns sway and rise, like a circle of flames lingering.
Chu Hen's eyes lighted up slightly, and he walked over with a bit of interest.
Seeing the three of Chu Hen, the merchant's eyes lit up.
"Hey, do you three want this Firefox suit? It is a must-have item for the trip to Beichuan. It can resist the cold winter and save you a lot of energy..."
A shrewd businessman can see through the needs of customers at a glance.
For the countless outsiders who want to enter the Beichuan Snow Region, the bitter wind claws that have not melted for thousands of years are definitely a problem that cannot be ignored.
"How did you sell it?" Chu Hen asked.
"Hey..." The other party squinted his eyes, showing six fingers with both hands, "Three pieces of Firefox clothes, sixty billion high-grade Yuanjing..."
Sixty billion?
Chu Hen almost flipped the opponent's stall without raising his hand.
Although he knew that he would be slaughtered ruthlessly, it was too ruthless.
Seemingly seeing Chu Hen's displeasure, the vendor quickly said, "However, if you really want it, you can get 50 billion for three..."
Long Xuanshuang shook his head slightly, and pulled Chuhen's arm, signaling that the other party should not buy it.
Chu Hen looked lightly, and replied lightly, "30 billion!"
"This..." The merchant looked embarrassed, then gritted his teeth, shook his head and sighed, "Okay! I'll just treat it as a friend, and sell you 30 billion high-grade Yuan spar..."
Long Xuanshuang frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's too expensive!"
Chu Hen smiled, "It's okay, it's not a loss if it comes in handy... Besides, Senior Xifeng is quite old, so he can't suffer the cold with us, right?"
The Beichuan Ice Region is extremely cold, frosty and snowy for thousands of miles, and the temperature is extremely low, making it difficult for ordinary people to set foot in it.
Chu Hen himself is fine.
The Holy Soul in the True Yuan Purple Mansion can continuously provide the consumed true Yuan Power, but for Long Xuanshuang, over time, the physical strength cannot guarantee that it will not be able to keep up with the consumption...
As for Xifengzi, Chu Hen needed the other party to complete the 'Derivative Tongxuan Formation', so he had to maintain his best condition all the time.
...
Just as the vendor folded the three Firefox clothes neatly and was about to hand them over to Chu Hen, a generous and powerful palm suddenly pressed heavily on the cargo counter.
"This Firefox suit, I want it!"
The rude voice is full of arrogance and domineering.
Chu Hen looked sideways, and saw that the person who came was a man as big as a bull, and behind him were several figures with not weak breath...
"Hey, I'm sorry, sir, the Firefox clothes have been sold to this customer..."
The merchant said with a smile.
"Three billion..." The domineering man said the same price as Chu Hen, but immediately said, "One piece of 30 billion high-grade Yuan spar, all the Firefox clothes, I want them all..."
One piece of 30 billion?
The merchant's eyes almost fell off, and an irresistible uplifting smile spread across his face.
Immediately, the other party immediately retracted the hands that were handed to Chu Hen, and then said to the domineering man respectfully, "Master, this Firefox coat belongs to you, and I have a few more at home... I will go and give it to you together." You fetch..."
After finishing speaking, he ignored Chu Hen and the others, bowed his head while nodding, and led everyone away.
...
Chu Hen's gaze sank slightly, and he couldn't help frowning.
Long Xuanshuang took the other party's wrist lightly, then shook his head, "Forget it, there's no need to cause trouble."
"It seems that there are quite a few people from Beichuan Snow Region..." Xi Fengzi murmured in a low voice.
...
"Don't go to Beichuan Snow Region!"
Suddenly, a cold and resentful voice came into the ears of the three of them.
Looking sideways, I saw a thin little girl standing at the foot of the wall on the street.
The girl was about eleven or twelve years old, and she was quite delicate, with fair skin...but she was very thin, and her clothes and hair were messy, as if she hadn't taken care of it for a long time.
She looked at Chu Hen and the others with deep resentment in her eyes, which was unpredictable.
"Little sister, are you talking to us?" Long Xuanshuang asked softly.
"You will be punished!" the little girl gritted her teeth and said.
"What?" Chu Hen asked.
"Those who disturb the God of the Ice Emperor will be punished by the Claw of Winter and will be imprisoned in the frost forever. Anyone who offends the Ice Realm of Winter will have a bad end..."
After the little girl finished speaking with low resentment, before Chu Hen and the others could react, she turned around and ran away without looking back.
...

(The first update of the new year came a bit late, but I was not absent at all. I stayed up all night outside last night. It is a rare gathering with friends in a year. Make up for sleep in the afternoon, and update the codewords in the evening!
Wuji Shenwang wishes everyone a happy New Year's Day and everything goes well! ! )
