The effects of Ai Shi's sleeping pills didn't wear off until early the next morning.

Xiao Ni stretched her body and quickly retracted her hands and feet into the warm nest.

She had a good sleep, all thanks to the man-lion curling up and burying her in the warm fur of the lion's body.

Blinking my eyes, I couldn't realize where I was for a moment. I just felt that this place was so beautiful, crystal clear and pure blue without a trace of impurities.

The human lion has also woken up and is looking at Xiao Ni.

When Xiao Ni turned around, the two of them were face to face, and Xiao Ni shrank in fright. "What are you doing?"

"Are you... awake?" Human Lion still spoke with the word "beng", which is probably the best state.

"Where are Miao Cheng and Taoist Master Ai? How come it's just the two of us? Why are we...where are we?"

The man-lion couldn't answer so many questions, so he could only answer the last one: "Ice cave!"

"Ice cave! Why did we come to the ice cave? Aren't we going down the mountain?"

"Fall!" It's rare for a human-lion to be able to say three words coherently.

"What do you mean? We fell into an ice cave?" Xiao Ni shrank, her face exposed was really cold. "Where are the two of them? Where did they go?"

"lost!"

"Lost? When did you lose it? How did you lose it? How long did I sleep? This...this...what's going on now?" When Xiao Ni heard that she was separated from her own kind, she suddenly panicked.

"Slow...slow down...ask." The man-lion's face suddenly showed an irritated look, and his eyes were wandering.

"How long did I sleep?"

The man-lion frowned, squeezed his nose, and answered with difficulty: "One night!"

Xiao Ni suddenly sat up and shouted towards the ice corridor on the right: "Miao Cheng, Taoist Master Ai, where are you?"

A series of grunting sounds came from underneath her body. Xiao Ni lowered her head and looked at the human lion. "Is it your stomach?"

The expression of the man-lion became more and more strange. The lion's body slowly stretched and stood up, and its eyes were filled with blood.

"You, you, you, are you hungry? I, um, I can't eat!" Xiao Ni panicked.

The human-lion shook his head violently: "Run...turn into a lion...it's dangerous!"

Xiao Ni suddenly thought of her trump card, and quickly took out the mermaid golden scales and shook them vigorously in front of the human lion. "Look, look, this is the golden scale, the contract between the human lion and the mermaid, hurry up and turn back into a human!"

The human lion roared fiercely at the golden-scaled lion, causing Xiao Ni to stumble and fall. It was so shocking that her eardrums nearly perforated. Countless ice fragments fell from the top of her head, and the whole glacier responded with its own unique sound.

"...Hurry...Run..."

Xiao Ni climbed twice in a row, but she didn't know whether it was because she was panicking or because her feet slipped, so she just didn't move.

The human lion gathered his last bit of reason, aimed his hind legs at Xiao Ni, and kicked her out more than a foot away.

Xiao Ni took advantage of the momentum and climbed up and down, escaping in an unknown direction.

After one day and two nights of fighting, trekking, danger, and cold, the human-lion was already too hungry, and his reason gradually lost control of his passion. After the second roar, he finally transformed into a lion, and only the temptation of the smell of human flesh remained in his nose.

He couldn't tell who was who, so he immediately chased after Xiao Ni.

The human scream pierces the lion's roar.

Xiao Ni ran with all her strength, but how could two legs outrun four legs? When she turned around, the human-lion was still ten steps away, and when she turned around again, the human-lion had already jumped into the air and pounced on its back.

Xiao Ni was so frightened that her legs were weak. There happened to be a fork in the road ahead, and she fell into the fork before the lion pounced.

The man-lion jumped into the air, and the huge inertia took him to slide far away on the ground mixed with ice and sand. His four claws struggled to stop, and then turned back to the fork. Xiao Ni had already ran in.

A chase and an escape unfolded on the ground at the bottom of the glacier.

Xiao Ni searched for crevices in the ice, using her dexterity to avoid the man-lion. However, the cracks at the bottom of the glacier were very large. She turned around and couldn't find any ice that she could enter but that the man-lion couldn't.

seam.

If you want to climb higher, but are afraid of slipping and falling directly into the lion's mouth, you can only delay looking for a good opportunity.

Xiao Ni was not a practicing practitioner, so her endurance was limited after all. In this cold and slippery environment, she felt extremely panicked. Her physical exertion was more than twice as high as usual, and she finally fell to the ground at a fork in the road.

The human lion chased after her, roared excitedly, and slapped Xiao Ni with its claws.

Xiao Ni rolled on the spot with all her strength, and rolled to the ice crevice on the right. She struggled to get up, but was hit in the back by the lion's tail.

The lion's tail was like a steel whip. If it hadn't been blocked by a gun inserted into the lower back, she would have been seriously injured. Even so, Xiao Ni could not lie down anymore and screamed and hit the ice wall on the side.

With the impact, the bottom of the ice wall was shattered, revealing a horizontal gap. Without thinking, Xiao Ni twisted her body and drilled deeper into the ice gap.

The human lion stabilized its body and grabbed Xiao Ni with its right paw. However, his body was too big, so he could only stretch his arms and pull in randomly, but he couldn't reach Xiao Ni, which made him howl and scream in anger.

Suddenly he withdrew his claws, took two steps back, jumped suddenly, and hit the ice wall.

The ice wall was very thin, and with his weight of several hundred kilograms and the power of a lion's leap, a large piece of ice fell down with such a collision.

A big ice block hit the man-lion on the head and knocked him down, but he swung his body and stood up as if he was not aware of the pain.

With a thin layer of ice wall, the lion's claws were able to catch Xiao Ni. The little girl was so frightened that she shook hard and struggled to squeeze into the ice crevice, but it became narrower and narrower as she went in. In the end, the ice cube pressed against her chest and was almost transparent.

But get up.

The man-lion collided again and again, and a large piece of the ice above had collapsed. He stretched out his claws to fish it out again and again, but still only missed it by a small amount.

The ice wall became stronger as we went inward, and the force of ordinary impacts could no longer cause damage to the ice wall. The man-lion was also very hungry. He retreated to the opposite ice wall, roared, accelerated and rushed towards it, and slammed with all his strength.

He jumped and hit the ice wall with a bang.

The ice wall made a series of crackling sounds, and suddenly a cloud of ice mist burst into the entire space, and a whole block of ice collapsed, completely burying the man-lion.

After the biting chill and fear subsided a little, Xiao Ni was surprised to find a regular but very rapid sound lingering in her ears. After a long time, she realized that it was her own breathing.

The man-lion collided with the ice wall, which relieved Xiao Ni. The ice that was pressing on her fell obliquely on the man-lion, and a room-sized hole collapsed at the bottom of the entire glacier. The shock caused by the man-lion

There is still a lingering power, and the glaciers far and near are roaring lowly.

Xiao Ni was in shock. She saw that the human lion had been suppressed by the ice, and she was afraid that the ice layer above her head would not hold up. She glanced around and saw that there was a crack diagonally above. She wanted to stand up and climb up, but struggled.

I couldn't get up, so I finally stood up, but burst into tears.

"Damn Miao Cheng, Miao Cheng suffered a thousand cuts because you asked me to go up the mountain. It's okay now. You asked me to suffer this punishment. Just wait and see if I find you and don't blow your brains out!"

The panic turned into worry and anger, and all of it was directed at Miao Cheng. He gained strength when he was angry, and he quickly climbed up the crack on his hands and knees and escaped alone.

The scenery in the glacier maze is fantastic, with deep blowholes that can't be seen to the end, ice picks with "swords like a forest", crystals as bright as flowers, and ice walls as flat as a mirror.

Xiao Ni just wanted to escape quickly and had no intention of appreciating such beautiful scenery. As she turned around, a large crystal clear ice wall appeared in front of her, with a thin and small figure reflected in dark blue.

The figure suddenly stood up, and Xiao Ni sneezed one after another.

Just now, I was only focused on running for my life, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and then ran out in a hot sweat. Now that I have cooled down, my thin layer of clothes can't resist the cold under the ice.

Xiao Ni blew her nose with Miao Cheng's big cloak and said harshly: "I asked you to leave me and I caught a cold. When I find you, I will put this smelly snot on your face!"

There seemed to be something on the other side of the ice wall, and Xiao Ni looked at it curiously.

"Hey, why is there a deer frozen in this ice block?"

The deer's eyes were wide open, its four legs were bent as if it were running, and it was solidly frozen in the ice.

Xiao Niji shivered: "Oh my God, if you don't run away quickly, I won't be frozen in the ice like this deer. This way of death is really uncomfortable!"

She was also lucky. There were no branches along the way. She walked along the big crack and came to a stone cave.

After entering the cave, the temperature increased slightly, and the white mist disappeared from the breath I exhaled. Looking deep into the cave, there seemed to be a road, but it was dark and without light.

"If only there was a fire!"

She had a fire sickle on her, but unfortunately she had no firewood, so she suddenly thought of a gun.

"I'm sorry, buddy. I'll tear it down for you first, and then I'll put it inlaid with yellow pear wood for you later."

Xiao Ni tore off a long strip of Miao Cheng's cloak, removed the wooden handle of the blunderbuss, wrapped the two pieces together, and lit a fire.

With Liang, although the fire was only as big as a fist, his courage immediately increased and his body felt warm.

Xiao Ni took advantage of the light and hurriedly walked into the cave. Not far away, the terrain went up. After crawling for a while, the front suddenly became clear, and she walked into a natural stone chamber.

The stone chamber is not big, only five steps to the left and right, and is circular, but there is no way out around it.

Xiao Ni felt a chill in her heart, this was a dead end.

The flames suddenly flashed, and wind blew down from above.

Xiao Ni looked up and saw that the roof of the stone chamber was very high, and there was another hole two feet high. Unfortunately, she couldn't climb up.

There were a few dry rhizomes of unknown plants in the stone chamber. This was the most useful thing at the moment. Xiao Ni pulled out some thin roots and piled them on the ground to light a small fire.

The warm flame warmed Xiao Ni's heart, but tears fell from her eyes.

"Damn it, Miao Cheng, where are you? Come to me quickly. I will never scold you again, nor will I crack your head. Don't ask me to spend my whole life in this hole. You say I'm so sad

Wan Ku came to you from Chess Reef, and you just left me, a girl, here. Isn't it outrageous? If daddy finds out, it would be weird if he doesn't roast you alive!"

When she thought of the word "roasted", her stomach suddenly turned upside down and she kept moaning. After all, she hadn't eaten in a long time.

"The stinking lion wants to eat me at the critical moment. It's really scary. I'll smash myself to death now. You weirdos are amazing. But it's so strange. Why doesn't mom's golden scales matter at the critical moment?

Did you use it?"

Xiao Ni took out the golden scale and looked at it under the light of the fire.

The golden scales met the firelight, and Gao Yan's graceful figure appeared on the stone wall again.

"I understand. It turns out that it was my mother's figure that calmed down the human lion, not the golden scales. It was the same when I was in the Taiqing Palace. Why didn't I think of it? I almost asked the human lion to eat me. It's a pity that he was there anyway.

He's dead too, there's no point in regretting."

She talked to herself to relieve her hunger, but her hunger disappeared by talking to herself. The more she talked, the hungrier she became, and eventually her stomach hurt from cramps.

Suddenly I thought of the deer frozen in the ice. "I wonder if the deer can still be eaten?"

When people are hungry, their survival instinct immediately emerges. Xiao Ni only had this idea, and seven or eight ways immediately came into her mind, and she chose the most labor-saving and reliable way.

A fire was raised next to the ice wall of the frozen deer. The ice slowly melted under the heat of the fire. First, a deer leg was exposed. It was pulled down and roasted half-cooked on the fire. After one bite, it was so delicious.
