Chapter 1,399 The Ugly Emperor (additional update)

Earthworms can be used to attract fish, bones can be used to attract wild dogs, and lambs can be used to attract hungry wolves.

This Sword of Twilight is Russia's number one exorcism weapon. What kind of strange things will it attract?

According to Han Laoliu, the monster's aura has gradually emerged. The paper crane lost its aura as soon as it approached and could no longer fly.

So for the rest of the journey, we could only rely on our own legs.

After the two of us ran for a while, the heavy snow that had just stopped falling began to fall again.

Fortunately, the temperature near the highest peak was extremely cold. A thick layer of ice crust was frozen on the snow, and the new snow only laid a thin layer on it. Of course, this thinness is relative, and it still doesn't cover the boots.

We knew that time was tight and there was no need to delay, so we used all our strength and rushed all the way to the top of the mountain.

There was a vast mist all around, and it was impossible to see clearly from two meters away. The clothes on my body had long been soaked with cold sweat and frozen into a hard layer. As he ran wildly, he was wet with hot sweat several times, but he didn't care at all.

As the saying goes, a horse can run to death while looking up the mountain, and it is true at all. We saw the mountain peak right in front of us, but we had been running desperately all night, and we had just reached the foot of the mountain.

The red sun was rising, the fog gradually dispersed, and the general appearance of the mountain was revealed in the distance.

Its shape is very strange. There are several hills across the top of the mountain, and at the far end is an almost straight peak, which looks like a hand with a little thumb raised high.

The two of us climbed up diagonally from the back of our hands. There was smooth and slippery frozen ice along the way. Our feet kept slipping, and we would fall down if we were not careful. In desperation, we each had to take out our weapons and use them as ice axes to climb the rock hard.

After climbing for nearly three hours, I finally reached the top of the mountain. I suddenly collapsed on the ice, too tired to move.

Han Laoliu couldn't stand it anymore and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

After resting for a while, we took out the polar rations and replenished our stomachs. Han Laoliu took out the wine bottle that he had been carrying in his arms and handed it to me: "Here, take a few sips to warm yourself up."

I took it and took a swig, but it was so spicy that I almost choked.

Although I usually drink a little wine, I secretly think that my drinking capacity is not bad, but compared with Han Laoliu, it is far behind. Especially this pot of wine, it is almost the same as high-concentration alcohol, and it is also mixed with an extremely stimulating The smell of blood.

"This is century-old bamboo leaf green mixed with Siberian tiger blood. It seems that you don't have this blessing. It's a pity." Seeing that I couldn't drink it, Han Laoliu shook his head regretfully, took the wine bottle and drank several sips.

There was also a thick layer of frozen ice on the top of the mountain, and it was covered with a thin layer of snow. We sat directly on the mountain ridge and slid down.

After sliding over several mountain ridges, we arrived in front of a straight and high mountain peak.

The mountain peaks tower into the clouds and are as sharp as a knife, making it impossible to climb.

The two of us looked up sadly for a while, and suddenly there were deep footprints at the foot of the mountain.

The footprints were astonishingly large, more than half a meter long, and the five toes went deep into the ground, as if they had long claws.

Moreover, the guy who left the footprints seemed to be extremely heavy, and he actually made a deep hole of more than 40 centimeters in such a hard ice layer!

The heavy snow has been falling, but it has not been covered yet, indicating that this guy just passed by not long ago!

Judging from the direction of the footprints, he came from the front of the top of the mountain. It was not the same path as the one we just took, but the final destination was also the top of the mountain.

Han Laoliu suddenly said with a solemn expression: "It should be the Chou Emperor. I didn't expect him to be here too."

"Ugly Emperor? Who is that? Is he also from Longquan Villa?" I asked very strangely.

Han Laoliu nodded: "Yes! The Chou Emperor is a freak in Longquan Villa. He is ugly and never goes out. He specializes in guarding the altar of the Villa. It is said that he became like this after accidentally eating the Pixiu Bead when he was a child. .”

"Although this guy is mentally retarded, he is extremely powerful. He can turn into a super giant in a short time and become invincible."

"It seems that Longquan Villa has really spared no effort this time, and actually sent so many experts together!"

"Except for Zhi Duoxing, Lazy Arhat, Sword Demon Ah Qi, and Jin Snake Sou who stayed at the foot of the mountain to besiege us, there are several other people here. Now we already know that there are Dong Lao and Chou Huang! These two It's extremely difficult to deal with just one of these guys, let alone the monsters lured out by the Sword of Dusk." Han Laoliu let out a long sigh.

"No, besides them, that mysterious old man also went up!" I pointed to a row of sparse footprints not far away.

Judging from the shape and size, it is exactly the same as the one encountered at the entrance of the tunnel, and there is a small, shallow mark on the snow next to it, which should be left by the little girl who was traveling with him.

The two footprints followed the Chou Emperor's big footprints, but the distance was much further than the big footprints, as if they were flying over.

The two of us followed the footprints all the way around to the back of the mountain, and suddenly found a long iron cable.

The iron cable was as thick as an arm and hung straight down from the top of the mountain.

There is a thick layer of ice on the iron rope, and every two or three meters in the middle, there are extremely huge hand scratches, which should be left by the Chou Emperor.

"Let's go up and have a look!" After Han Laoliu said that, he thrust the ancient sword behind him, grabbed the iron rope and climbed up.

I followed closely behind and climbed up.

The iron rope was covered with broken ice, and the mountain wall was extremely slippery. Fortunately, Chouhuang had already stepped into large pits, allowing us to relax every once in a while.

However, even so, we are still struggling.

Halfway through the climb, Han Laoliu saw that I was a little overwhelmed, so he lowered a rope from above and wrapped it around my waist, and tied himself with the other end so that I could save some energy.

When I climbed halfway up the mountain, I lost my grip and almost fell. If it hadn't been for the rope, I would have died.

When we were still more than twenty meters away from the top of the mountain, Han Laoliu suddenly turned back and motioned for me not to move or make a sound. Immediately, he gently took out a paper crane, lit a touch of cinnabar and released it!
