The road to the Northern Kingdom was covered with snow. The further they walked, the colder it became.

The climate of the Northern Kingdom was extremely extreme. Every year, there would only be two seasons, one winter and one summer!

The scorching summer sun could roast the earth to the point where not even a blade of grass grew, and the winter could freeze everything to the point where it didn't last long.

Therefore, although the Qin Dynasty was still in the cold season of spring, green sprouts were already faintly appearing on the willow branches. The closer they got to the Northern Kingdom, the more snow fell.

Mu Wan Yun was curled up on the horse's back. He was already wrapped in two mink cloaks. However, he could still feel waves of bone-piercing cold wind blowing into his neck.

She was wearing a furry hat and a scarf, and her eyes were the only part of her body.

She looked at the map in her hands. If she continued like this, she should be able to reach the Illusory Dragon Town by this time tomorrow.

However, the snowstorm seemed to be getting heavier, blotting out the sky and blotting out the sun. The road ahead was completely invisible, and the visibility did not exceed two meters.

One of the coachmen came over and asked, "Young Master, there should be a bridge up ahead. It's snowing heavily, so I can't see it clearly. Why don't we rest in the cave over there for the night?"

Mu Wan thought for a moment. It was already late, so he might as well rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, he would be able to see the road situation clearly before thinking of a plan.

She looked again at the hollow the groom was pointing to. There were jutting rocks on it, jutting out from left and right, inside and out, and it would be best to set up camp there.

She nodded and led the team over.

There were plenty of goods in the carriage, and some dry firewood were already prepared in the forest not far away. The coachman went to pick up a lot of them, and then he surrounded the eight carriages, forming a circle to protect them from the wind and snow.

The blazing fire in the middle finally brought a hint of warmth.

They made some food and boiled some snow for tea. The snow had yet to boil, and the sky had already darkened.

Looking at this sky that was so dark it seemed like hell, Mu Wan's brows were knitted tightly.

This was not the first time she had come to this place. When she had opened up this route five years ago, she had come here once. However, the snowstorm that time was completely different, and the feeling was also different.

Her heart would throb for no reason. She always felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from the darkness.

The Soup Dumplings in her arms were the same. From the start of their journey until yesterday, this dragon was still fine. However, this morning, it hadn't eaten a single thing.

Mu Yunji had never seen a pair of eyes with such round eyes, and the fur all over his body stood erect.

It made her nervous. She knew what was waiting for them tonight or tomorrow.

Leaves brought her a cup of freshly boiled tea.

"Let's drink some hot tea first."

Mu Wan Jun was standing outside, vigilantly looking around.

Hearing Leaves' voice, she smiled as she received the teacup in her hand. Just as she was about to drink the water, she realized that the water in the teacup couldn't come out. When she looked carefully, she discovered that the water on the cup had already frozen over.

Boiling water can freeze in the blink of an eye. How low is the temperature here?

Leaves also smiled when she saw this, "Go back and drink. I'll watch over this place for you." There was still some distance to the Northern Kingdom. Leaves knew Mu Wan had always been cautious, but the tense atmosphere had infected her.

"No need." Mu Wan looked out into the boundless darkness. Under the vast sky, the endless darkness seemed to be devouring them with its gaping maw.

There was only a glimmer of light from the fire behind them, and that light cast their shadows on the ground and into the darkness.

"Ye-zi, be extra careful tonight. I feel like something bad is going to happen." Mu Wan looked at Ye Wen unblinkingly. It was the first time in so many years that she was this shocked.

She couldn't help but hold Leaves' hand, "If anything happens, remember, you don't have to worry about me. You have to run away, understand?"

"Don't worry, I know." In her heart, however, there was one thing she was determined to do. Sister Yun, don't worry. If something happens, even if I give up my life, I will still protect you.

Mu Wan Yun was still a little worried. She took out four round iron balls from her storage ring, and there was a lead wire at the top of the balls.

She handed the four iron balls to Leaves, "You know how to use this explosive. When the time comes, you have to defend yourself."

"Alright!" Leaves accepted it and stored it in her storage ring.

Mu Wan Yun and everyone else discussed about the night watch.

From the thunderfire guarding the first squad, to the time when the son again by Mu Huanyun to guard.

When she saw that the coachman had already fallen asleep, she struggled to get up. When she got up, she saw that Mu Yanran was still awake, and she was guarding beside Lei Huo. There was a smile at the corner of her eyes, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Mu Wan Yun's actions alarmed the two of them. When Mu Yanran saw her, she immediately stopped smiling and looked down at her with incomparable gentleness.

"Senior Sister Mu." If you have something you want to talk to Elder Huo about, I'll be taking my leave now. "

Mu Yanran's appearance caused Mu Wanyun's heart to tremble. If it wasn't for the fact that she was completely knowledgeable about her, she really would have been tricked by her virtuous appearance.

Indeed, in terms of acting talent, no one would dare to be number one if Mu Yanran was ranked number two.

However, it seemed to be different tonight. She called out to Mu Yanran.

The gaze from the lightning and fire moved Mu Huanyun's heart. There seemed to be something wrong between Elder Huo and Mu Yanran.

However, she couldn't bear to think too much about it now.

Just now, when she was trying to recuperate and recharge her strength, the dragon in her arms was constantly whining. He even started to eat the spirit stones in big mouthfuls.

Fortunately, Mu Huanyun did not lack spirit stones to begin with. She took out all of the spirit stones to let the dragon eat them. As she ate more and more spirit stones, the dragon grew bigger bit by bit, and its shape became more and more obvious.

Mu Wan felt that this Qi Long beast seemed to be accumulating its power in preparation for an emergency.

She decided to just throw the beast into her own storage ring and let it eat its fill.

Even though she was very stingy with her hard-earned Spirit Stones, her life was still very important. However, this debt had to be paid to Chunyu Hong.

She never made a loss.

Hearing her voice, Mu Yanran stopped her steps. She lowered her head and looked at the tip of Mu Wan's foot, "Rest assured elder sister, your sister will not cause any trouble for you. I really only wish to help the Mu family. Elder sister, please do not doubt my feelings. "

If the Mu family was really gone, then her days in the Mu manor and in front of Imperial Concubine Yu wouldn't be that good either.

"I mean, release the seal."

Mu Yanran was extremely surprised, as she had expected Mu Yunji to arrive at the Northern Kingdom. But she didn't expect to believe her so soon.

"Elder sister, have you forgiven me?"

"Forgive me or not. It depends on whether you can live through the night."

Mu Yanran was shocked and Lei Huo's face turned sullen. Mu Yun, what do you mean by this? "

"It's nothing. I just don't feel good. Everyone be alert tonight. Elder Huo, don't you feel that there's something wrong with the sky tonight? "

Following Mu Wan's reminder, Lei Huo also discovered that it was especially dark tonight. Moreover, there wasn't even half a cloud above to cover the moon and stars.

The strangest thing was, right now, they felt as if they had fallen into a void. They couldn't feel the passage of time, nor could they control the timing of it.

Mu Wan looked at the hourglass on the carriage and was surprised to find that the hourglass didn't move any further. Time seemed to have stopped.

Her face grew more and more serious.

Lei Huo did not doubt Mu Yun's acuteness.

When he was at Mount Kunlun, he had heard Elder Wu's words.

He personally removed Mu Yanran's seal, "Be careful, I'll go up and take a look."

The sounds of talking outside also caused Leaves, who had not slept for a long time, to get out of the carriage. But now, with her sword gripped tightly in her hand, she walked over to Mu Wan's side and whispered, "I feel a strange aura."

Lei Huo's luck suddenly soared. He flew in the air and stood in the air.

Sparks danced on his palms, and he spat them out. There was a sudden flash of fire, and a circle of fire was formed about five hundred meters around the camp they were in.

The bright light made his vision clear.

At this time, they were horrified to see that there seemed to be an additional wall appearing out of thin air. This "wall" seemed to have wrapped them within it.

However, no one could clearly see what exactly that "wall" was.

However, an indescribable terror was growing in his heart.

"What's that?" Mu Yanran's expression changed and she couldn't help but take a step back. His eyes also swept across Mu Wan.

The treasured sword in Leaves' hand had already left her body. While throwing it, it suddenly produced countless shadows, which headed towards the unknown wall.

As soon as he saw Leaves take action, he also shot out a few fireballs, attaching them to Leaves' sword shadows and following him.

The sword image shone like a flashlight and instantly stabbed into the wall.

He heard a crisp ring. The sword fell to the ground and the fire was extinguished in a flash.

Even Leaves' sword couldn't penetrate the wall, but the moment the flame went out, they saw what seemed like pieces of armor in the darkness, but also like pieces of scales.

Mu Huanyun's brows furrowed and her face sank. She instantly understood that they had been surrounded by some unknown thing.

Behind him was a snowy mountain. There was no way out.

Mu Wanyun glared at Mu Yanran, "What are you still standing there for? Wake everyone up. Let them hide in the cave behind us. "

"Even at this time, you still care if they live or die." She wasn't going. If the monsters were really like the rumors said, then she couldn't wait for them to eat these people and give her some time to leave.

Mu Wanyun's expression changed as a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He pointed the sword at Mu Yanran, "Are you coming or not?"

These people were hired by her, and their lives were the most innocent.

She's not that kind of person!

He would definitely save her if he could!

Mu Yanran's chest rose and fell. She stomped her foot and hatefully thought to herself, Don't be too haughty!

She ran to each of the carriages to wake everyone up. When the coachmen heard that there was a monster that was scared witless, they were forced into the cave by Mu Wenyun. She even dragged the carriage to seal the entrance.

"Don't worry, if I only have half a life left, all of you will definitely be fine. "Hide yourself well and don't make any noise while heading out. Don't come out even if you hear anything."

"Young master, we're saving money, so you have to be careful too!" These coachmen were very grateful to Mu Wan Yun. If it were anyone else, they would have already abandoned them and fled for their lives. Who would still care about their lowly lives?

Mu Wan Yun used the carriage to seal the entrance of the cave, turned around, and left.

One of the seven watched her as she left, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
