Liu Qingbo let go of his hand and let the Demon Slayer Sword fly out.

When the sword of the demons met the ice and snow soldiers, it was like a wolf entering a flock and harvesting leeks. Wherever the sword light went, the heads of the ice and snow soldiers fell to the ground, and their bodies remained at the moment when they charged into battle. The ice and snow soldiers with their heads were very neat, and they stood there in unison.

"It's a bit like the Terracotta Warriors." Liu Qingbo muttered as he sheathed his sword.

"I don't know if the people behind will be frightened when they come." Winter Solstice looked at the large headless soldiers and thought it was quite funny.

"The ground is cracked!" Li Han'er cried.

Everyone looked down, and sure enough, cracks appeared on the ground under the feet of the ice soldiers and rapidly expanded, spreading in all directions.

Meanwhile, snowflakes began to fall from the grey sky.

The snowflakes immediately condensed in the air and turned into sharp ice cones, shooting down from the top of the head like a rain of arrows!

The sudden attack caught everyone off guard, and they had to wave their swords to resist. They encountered ice and snow thorns and soldiers just now.

The slender and sharp icicles rained extremely fast and densely packed. Zhang Song was slightly inattentive, and his shoulders were immediately scratched. This was because he dodged quickly.

But on the other end, Li Han'er was not as lucky as him. Her sword wind was a little late, and an ice pick that slipped through the net immediately fell, directly piercing her palm.

When the winter solstice heard the pain, she turned her head and saw her hands were red with blood.

Yang Shou shouted: "We have to go back to the boat!"

Liu Qingbo: "No, it will be more difficult to log in when you go back. You can't back down at this time!"

There should be no ice picks when entering the castle, but the castle is still about 30 meters away from where they are. The winter solstice measured the distance in his heart and shouted: "Han'er is in the middle, we are around, weaving a net with sword energy, I'll run with a shout, keep your pace!"

This is indeed a good method. Everyone moved when they heard the sound, resisting the ice cone in the sky and retreating to the middle until Li Haner was surrounded by them. Then, under the order of the winter solstice, everyone began to run towards the castle.

Except for Li Han'er's hand that was holding the sword injured and temporarily unable to defend, five people, four swords and a whip, danced the top of their heads so tight that the air was washed away, and a cloud of white mist-like protection formed around them. The hood, the ice pick has not yet approached, it turned into white steam at the moment of contact with the sword energy and whip wind, and dissipated in the air.

But this is also extremely exhausting. When the six people ran into the gate of the castle cave, everyone was so tired that they were out of breath and couldn't say a word.

Li Han'er's palm was pierced by an ice hammer through a blood hole, but fortunately, the ice cone was non-toxic. After Liu Si wrapped her with wound medicine and gauze, she moved her hands. Although the movement was still a little delayed, at least there was no problem with holding the sword.

Liu Qingbo and the Winter Solstice began to look around.

Upon closer inspection, I found that the gate of the castle originally had a lock, but the lock was broken at this time. It should have been the French or the descendants who had come in before.

This is a building entirely made of ice and snow. Even the gates and walls are filled with gorgeous Victorian paintings and sculptures. In the center of the palace on the first floor of the castle is a huge statue of life, at least three or four meters high. He couldn't see clearly, but he was wearing a gorgeous dress, even the jewelry necklace around his neck, and his slightly curly short hair.

"It's just a place to compete, do you need to work so hard and waste money?" Zhang Song scoffed.

"This is the equivalent of Elizabeth, which must have been made by her. Group 51 only provided us with a deserted island and a large glacier." Octopus Meka said.

"Waiting for a figure?" Winter Solstice was surprised, "You mean Elizabeth is so tall?"

The octopus took it for granted: "Yes, she is still very petite compared to me. Every time I have to talk to her, I can only shrink down to a figure similar to her, which is too inconvenient!"

The Winter Solstice was speechless, thinking that the information provided by William was indeed correct.

Liu Qingbo lifted the octopus from the winter solstice shoulder.

"What traps will your friends set for us, you can make it clear once, or we'll bake you for supper!"

Octopus blinked the only remaining eye: "I don't know, Elizabeth really likes mischief, but she's just naughty and won't hurt me!"

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes: "You are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so of course you won't hurt you. We are different. Her prank just now was at the murder level!"

Octopus: "But the people in the organizing committee said that we should try our best to hinder you, or we won't get paid!"

Liu Qingbo greeted all the eighteen generations of the organizing committee's ancestors in his heart.

In normal times, these obstacles are really nothing, at most a little bit of injury and bleeding, but when the remnant souls of the demons are eyeing, trying to wake up some ancient monsters, this kind of test has become a mess, and it can only add to the people. troubled.

The Winter Solstice pointed to the ice debris on the ground and said, "Some people have been here before. There should be no danger in the hall. Even if there are traps, some people have already stepped on them."

Octopus also said: "Yes, let's hurry up and find Elizabeth, I feel a very dangerous atmosphere in the ground here, and it is slowly waking up. If Elizabeth is found, she can use ice and snow to suppress the thing below and prevent it from waking up. Come."

Everyone walked through the magnificent palace and walked quickly into the corridor next to it. The sunlight penetrated through the finely carved windows, and the ice crystals were bright and beautiful. It was a work of art.

Compared with the octopus, which is unknown, its giant friend's aesthetic taste is too high. If it wasn't for an emergency, the winter solstice would almost want to slow down and take a closer look at the building, and even put every detail of it. Copy it.

There are even ice sculptures of different shapes on one side of the corridor, a knight holding a long sword, a woman holding a torch and a skirt, and—

A frightened Frenchman with a gun ready to shoot?

"Isn't this someone from the French team!" Li Han'er exclaimed, she couldn't remember the long name of the other party, but she could recognize his appearance.

There are seven ice sculptures in the corridor, two of which are French. In addition to the gun, there is also a slender and slightly curved samurai sword in his hand. solidified on the face.

Octopus said: "This is Elizabeth's favorite game. She turns living creatures into ice sculptures, and I was frozen by her!"

Winter Solstice: "Can it be restored?"

Octopus: "Of course, the temperature rises, the surface melts, and they come out."

While this kind of trick is innocuous, no one wants to be frozen inside.

Liu Qingbo: "Don't worry about them if their lives are not in danger, we're gone, we're going to find the demons!"

The winter solstice didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took out two bright light talismans and threw them at the two ice sculptures.

The talisman fire burned on the forehead of the ice sculpture, and the ice layer melted and water slowly slid down, but it didn't last long before the talisman fire burned out.

After all, I didn't practice fire talismans, and the effect was not very good. I scratched my face on the winter solstice, and said to Zhang Song a little ashamed: "Old Zhang, help me!"

Zhang Song reluctantly took out the fire talisman: "Why waste it on them?"

Winter Solstice grinned: "Let them melt slowly, as long as they can come out, not too fast."

The two fire talismans shot by Zhang Song hang above the head of the ice sculpture. The flame is much larger than the bright light talisman of the winter solstice, and it does not go out so quickly. Under such baking, the head of the ice sculpture begins to melt slowly. It is estimated that it will not take long. Two people can get out.

The group did not stay in the same place. Behind the corridor are rooms one after another, imitating European castles. The rooms are full of portraits, with large gauze beds and European-style sofas, but they are all carved from ice and snow, luxurious and beautiful. It only makes people feel icy cold.

On the winter solstice, they walked through the room and walked up the stairs at the end of the corridor. The second and third floors were similar, because they heard from the octopus that Elizabeth might be on the top floor of the castle, so they didn't take a closer look. When he stepped on the stairs on the fourth floor, with a snap, countless ice cones began to fall from the top of his head without warning.

"Back off!"

The ice picks fell like rain, forcing them to avoid the aisle next to them, thus preventing everyone from going up.

"Hey, you guys!"

There was an exclamation not far away, and a dark face was exposed in the sight of Winter Solstice and others.

"Come with me, I know there is another passage to go upstairs!" The other party waved to them.

"I know him, he is Kenta's friend, let's go with him!" Winter Solstice said.

Winter Solstice was deeply impressed by Suge because Kent, a disciple of Master Xinchai, specially introduced him, saying that he was also an introductory disciple of some kind of head-turning master. Suge was more outgoing and talkative. .

Now, watching the winter solstice and the others retreating, Su Ge hurriedly said, "Kenta and the others are upstairs, I'll take you up!"

Winter Solstice: "You have been here for so long, haven't you found the golden apple yet?"

Suge panted: "We're trapped on the sixth floor, and the French, everyone is trapped in the ice and snow cage, except me. It's great to see you, I can't save them alone!"

He led the crowd to the corner at the end of the corridor, where there was indeed a narrow staircase, because it was blocked by the wall, it was easy to be regarded as a blind spot and was missed.

Solstice asked: "Is Kenta also on the sixth floor?"

Suge nodded: "He's there too."

Suge led the way, and they followed at the winter solstice.

Octopus Meka suddenly said, "I feel an evil aura approaching."

Liu Qingbo was angry: "Aren't you also one of the evil spirits!"

Su Ge was stunned for a moment, then turned around: "Who is talking?"

Winter Solstice smiled: "The new friend we just met."

Octopus was very unhappy when he heard Liu Qingbo's words: "I'm a coolie appointed by the organizing committee, not evil! Haven't you been to a haunted house? I'm just like the staff inside. I'm beaten and scolded, but I'm thankful, and the salary is high. So little!"

Li Han'er said in surprise: "You actually know about the haunted house? Have you been to the human world?"

Most of the time, this octopus looks like a simple creature with no experience in the world, but sometimes it can be surprisingly smart.

Octopus: "No, but Elizabeth will go, I heard her say."

The winter solstice brought the topic back: "Where is the evil breath?"

Octopus: "I don't know, it was a little closer just now, but now it seems to be farther away."

Everyone was confused and had no idea what it was talking about.

At this time, Liu Qingbo, who was walking behind the Winter Solstice, suddenly hit the knee of the Winter Solstice.

Winter Solstice was unprepared, and subconsciously fell forward on the steps, followed by the people behind.

"Old Liu, you..." Dongzhi was about to turn his head to ask Liu Qingbo what the wind was blowing, when his voice suddenly stopped.

"Boss? What's wrong?" Liu Si, who was behind them, didn't see the situation clearly.

Suge also stopped and waited for them, with a blank look on his face.

"It's okay, Lao Liu just went crazy again. When he gets the golden apple, let's see how I can deal with him." Dongzhi said easily.

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes.

Everyone else was baffled.

Only Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo knew what happened.

Because just now, Liu Qingbo hit the winter solstice, his upper body was slumped on the steps, he had to support his body with his elbows, and his vision naturally became lower. But an astonishing phenomenon was discovered.

Suge's heels did not touch the ground, but were lifted slightly. The arc was not large or obvious, so they had never noticed it before, but this was obviously very wrong, because no normal human would walk like this.

Unless it's not human.

In the hotel in Changchun and on Changbai Mountain, those who were killed by monsters and manipulated as puppets were all walking in this way.

However, Su Ge's speech and behavior were not different, and even the anxious mood was just right. The bells on the Winter Solstice and the others never rang. If it wasn't for Liu Qingbo's sharp eyes, they would not have noticed it at all.

The winter solstice was almost covered in white sweat, but he didn't say anything, didn't even turn his head to look at Liu Qingbo, and still followed Su Ge as if nothing had happened, but one hand had slipped into his pocket quietly, holding the Mingguang Talisman. ,ready.

He deliberately slowed down and quarreled with Liu Qingbo. Liu Qingbo also found out his intention and cooperated very well. The two "quarreled" from the fourth floor to the sixth floor. Li Haner and Liu Si thought that they really had a falling out, so they quickly persuaded them to fight. But the Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo not only did not stop, but intensified.

"Liu Qingbo, don't think that I don't dare to do anything to you, you can get out of here if you have the ability!"

"How capable do you think you are? It's not because your master is the Dragon Bureau that you got the head of the regiment, or else it's your turn!"

"Then you can get out now!"

"Go away so you can go back and file a complaint, I don't!"

Liu Si and Li Han'er looked at each other and didn't understand that the two usually quarreled less often, but they suddenly quarreled to the point that they seemed to be serious, but they were worried that something would happen, Liu Si hurriedly advised: "Qingbo, you just Say one more word!"

Li Han'er also said: "Yes, boss, we are all here, and we are only a stone's throw away from the golden apple, so don't fight infighting!"

Winter Solstice snorted coldly, but it was unusually tough: "What kind of infighting is going on, he and I are not my own, he always puts on airs and others let him, but he really treats himself as an onion, you see Look at Lao Zhang, Lao Yang, who hasn't been dissatisfied with him for a long time!"

Zhang Song: I didn't say anything this time!

Yang Shouyi: I was shot while lying down.

The two were arguing in the back, but Suge didn't even look back once and walked forward. The moment he went up to the sixth floor, two sword lights shot from behind him. It was the Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo, who had been arguing just now, and shot at the same time!

However, Suge seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he suddenly rose to the ground, jumping more than three feet high, and the man jumped directly to the dome, more agile than a monkey, and at the same time he let out a numb laughter. .

"Long-lost friend, how are you?"

The sound seemed to come from the ground, and it seemed to be around them, in all directions, from far and near.

The octopus yelled, "It's this evil breath!"

Needless to say, they already knew about the Winter Solstice, and the remnant souls of the demons were indeed hidden in the dark, waiting for them to come to the door.

Su Ge flew up to the dome, and rushed towards them at an accelerated rate, holding a huge ice pick that was broken off from the wall sculpture in the middle, and stabbed it towards the top of the winter solstice and Liu Qingbo!

His expression was no longer as vivid as before, he looked dull and dull, his limbs seemed to be controlled by a few invisible threads, and the whole person was like a puppet without self-consciousness. tool.

The ice cone smashed down, and everyone scattered to avoid it. The ground also made of ice and snow was blasted out of a hole by a huge force, and the cracks spread rapidly from the hole.

One, two, three...

The collapse is like a domino effect. Once it is out of control, the ice and snow building is strong and fragile. Once the supporting point falls, the whole building can no longer be maintained.

Winter Solstice, Liu Qingbo and Liu Si walked at the front, and they were also the most unlucky. The three of them fell from the sixth floor, but they soon discovered that even though they had reached the first floor, they still did not expect it. On the icy ground, the body was still falling rapidly until it fell into the icy water.

Li Han'er, Zhang Song and Yang Shouyi escaped the disaster because they walked behind and caught the ice ladder that didn't shatter and fell in time.

They looked pale as their companions fell.

"Go save them!" Zhang Song wanted to let go and jumped down, but was grabbed by Li Han'er.

At the critical moment, the excellent calmness of women played a role in her mind.

"We must go to Elizabeth first. Didn't Meka say that Elizabeth is the owner of the ice and snow castle. Only she has the power to suppress the demons and the alien beasts that the demons want to wake up, and avoid even greater disasters!"

"Han'er is right!" Yang Shouyi also reacted. "Boss, they are very capable, they should be able to hold on for a while longer!"

"Go!" Zhang Song hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and climbed up the remaining ice ladder.

The sea water rushed in from the mouth and nose, and the ice cold instantly wrapped the whole body. In the bottomless ocean, the three of them lost the restraint of practitioners and could only struggle to survive like ordinary people.

Although Liu Si is in the shape of a willow tree, his water ability is not good, he is only able to swim in water. The thick clothes are soaked in sea water and gain weight, and he is quickly dragged down. At this time, there is a tentacle. Reached out, wrapped around his arm and dragged it up.

After the surface of the water, Liu Si finally breathed a sigh of relief. He found that the octopus monster had grown a lot bigger. Although it was not as exaggerated as when he first encountered it, it is now the size of a round table with ten people sitting around it. Even the tentacles have become thicker, no wonder they can drag them out of the water.

"My God, if such a beautiful ice and snow castle is smashed with a big hole, Elizabeth will go crazy!"

Hearing the octopus complaining in his ear, Liu Si raised his head, and sure enough, he saw an ice and snow building with a huge hole above his head. Although this place only occupies a corner of the entire ancient castle, the entire ancient castle will not collapse in a short time, but how could they fall directly into the water from the sixth floor? Isn't the ancient castle built on an island? Is it even an island? Are they all smashed out?

Before he could think of an answer, there was a violent fight not far away.

The sea water rose from the sea from time to time, and immediately turned into a human shape, just like the guardian of the sea god Poseidon in the myth, holding a halberd and attacking humans.

They attacked three Frenchmen.

There is nothing here, there is only inexhaustible seawater from all directions, there is an endless stream of transformed sea monsters, and the French who are fighting with them are exhausted, but they are still entangled in their bodies, bullets hit these seawater The condensed sea monsters are useless at all, and the sword can only protect the body, but the sea monsters can really cause harm to the human body when they swing the halberd.

When they landed on the winter solstice, the three of them were already scarred and embarrassed.

Now, the Krakens have found new targets.

three Chinese.

The waves surged up, condensed into a human shape in mid-air, and swung the halberd to behead the winter solstice.

"Don't hurt my friend!" Octopus Maeka said angrily.

The movements of the sirens only paused for a moment, and the attacking movements remained the same.

The winter solstice rolled sideways and rolled to the side, regardless of whether the posture was elegant or not, the most important thing was to save one's life.

The octopus snorted and said strangely and fearfully: "They seem to be controlled by that evil aura, and they don't listen to me at all!"

The French, who originally hated the winter solstice and the others, suddenly saw them descend from the sky. Even the brothers and sisters in trouble were as affectionately moved as if they had seen their own parents. Even the French regiment leader who hated the winter solstice the most, Guerin, was also excited. shouted.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

"Stop shouting, we're not deaf again!"

Liu Qingbo didn't have a good air. He slashed the Kraken in half with a sword. The sea water fell on the ground and became water stains, but then the sea water came up and turned into an enemy. It was no wonder that the Frenchmen were so inexhaustible. They were so tired that they were considered strong if they didn't lie down.

The author has something to say: A small theater that has nothing to do with the text:

Liu Qingbo: When we go out, sometimes we need to disguise, let the enemy relax their vigilance, and then take the opportunity to make a move, such as quarrels, we can practice it at ordinary times, so as not to lose the chain at a critical time, we should be more realistic.

Winter Solstice: Oh well, you bastard who kills a thousand knives, bring your rubbish ghost sword and go away, go as far as you can!

Liu Qingbo: ...You scolded me so sly, are you dissatisfied with me long ago?

The winter solstice looks innocent: you said to be realistic.
