fifth form

Chapter 628
The yellow puma that pulls the cart has great stamina, but it is inferior to the stamina of military horses.

And the two are not comparable in speed at all.

Although he ran about a quarter of an hour earlier, Zhang Xuezhou had already sensed that he was getting closer and closer to catch up.

It wasn't even an hour before he left Fuping County, and he hadn't even left the northern border area at this time.

"Bitter too!"

The mount is not strong enough, and the physical strength and monster power are almost exhausted.

For the first time, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his advantage in running away was still insufficient.

"If you have the conditions, you have to learn a flying technique suitable for the Yin Yang family. At least you can fly with magic power if you lose your demon power. Even if you fly three meters high, it's better than running around in circles!"

He slapped his horse's butt sullenly, and quickly thought about the various abilities he possessed.

Zhang Xuezhou has to say that he seems to have a lot of skills, but he is relatively poor.

It was difficult even for the emperor and the empress to teach him. The Yin-Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Mantra practiced by Zhang Xuezhou obviously brought too many restrictions.

However, if Zhang Xuezhou were to change to other realms of practice, the situation he would face would not be much different, such as the Beast Sect, various Sword Sects, Sword Sects, etc.

Unless he entered the door of Confucianism, it is impossible for him to learn all kinds of techniques.

But then again, if he was really going to fall into the trap of Confucianism, Zhang Xuezhou didn't have the time or ability to perform a large number of techniques, let alone refining elixirs to survive.

No one is omnipotent, even Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar who has learned many techniques, has been humiliated repeatedly, and techniques are difficult to cope with the ever-changing situation.

Zhang Xuezhou was finally relieved, and kept thinking about the possible help he could bring.

It wasn't until Huang Puma ran near a big river where the ice and snow had just melted that Zhang Xuezhou was overjoyed.

He had almost been drowned once before, but it was more than a day or two before he returned to the real world.

His body jumped off Huang Puma's horse, Zhang Xuezhou didn't even care to take off his shoes, and then plunged into the glacier water.

The water-based affinity brought by the water-avoidance formula allows Zhang Xuezhou to breathe in the water for a short time, without needing to come out of the river to take a breath from time to time.

"Shall we chase or not?"

After Zhang Xuezhou went down the river for hundreds of meters, the two riders by the river bank came late.

Looking at the yellow puma gnawing grass with its head down by the river, the two on the army horse looked at each other in blank dismay.

The pursued person undoubtedly jumped into the river, but the river was vast, so it was impossible to see the opponent's figure at this time.

If they were to go into the water to search, suffering would be unavoidable, the question would be whether they could find each other.

Lacking the horseshoe prints on the snow to guide the direction, and lacking Ning Cheng's spellcasting positioning, they would lose their pursuit target if they chased here.

"I still have to chase after him. A spellcaster like him can endure ice water. There's no way we can't bear it!"

"That makes sense!"

"One of us will search upstream, and the other will search downstream!"

"If he swims against the current, the distance he can swim must not be far!"

"We were not too far away from him when we chased him, and he was at most one mile downstream!"

After a brief exchange, the two got off their horses together.

As soon as the armor covering them was taken off, the two also temporarily searched separately.

The bone-cold river water drenched the body, and the two looked at each other from a distance, and the energy and blood in their bodies gushed out quickly.

"This is going to freeze to death!"

"We didn't say we were going to kill that kid. Is he worth running for his life like this?"

"That's right, we can't stand this glacial river water, he will not be frozen into an ice sculpture if he jumps into the river with a spell!"

"It's too much to suffer from chasing people!"

"Who told that kid to scribble and scribble so much, and the characters are so big that everyone in the city knows it!"

"Forget it, he didn't name names, and my father's name isn't Li X either!"

After a few short conversations, the two inevitably swam in the river, constantly searching for Zhang Xuezhou.

The ice floes kept hitting their bodies, and the bodies of the two kept turning red, showing their cold flesh that turned white from time to time.

Bursts of water vapor continued to emerge on the river surface, which also made the two of them look solemn, and their body muscles could not help but tremble unnaturally.

It takes courage to travel in this kind of weather where the ice and snow are just melting, not to mention that they have been riding horses for a long time in the cold wind. At this time, it is undoubtedly worse to search in this kind of icy river, and the body is stuck in almost limit support.

After nearly half an hour of searching to no avail, both of them couldn't help crawling back to the river bank, shivering in the cold wind.

"I can not make it!"

"I can't do it either!"

"That kid should be even worse?"

"It's likely that it froze somewhere in the river!"

"I want to build a fire to...keep warm!"

"I want, too!"

When the proud body of the martial arts practitioner couldn't support it, the two also fell into an extremely embarrassing situation, and finally had to hug the military horse to keep warm.

The weather in the early spring of January in the northern border is unbearable.

What the pursuers said was indeed correct, even warriors couldn't bear it, and neither could Zhang Xuezhou.

After two miles of hard swimming along the river, he jumped out of the glacier.

The icy water stained by Tianyi was quickly dried. Zhang Xuezhou murmured, "The Emperor of the Golden Crow is my good friend", and then held the Golden Crow Feather to keep warm.

The tactic of avoiding water is not the tactic of avoiding the cold. He avoided the water, but he did not avoid the bone-chilling cold.

If it weren't for the performance of being invulnerable to cold and heat in the glacier, Zhang Xuezhou's body would have been frozen.

He shivered to keep warm, and wrung out the water in his shoes and socks.

Facing the cold wind and waves, the shoes suddenly became stiff.

Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to put on the new pair of shoes that Rong Li gave him.

He put on his shoes and stomped on his feet a few times, feeling that this escape was really a crime.

But with the barrier of this river, the pursuers will have a longer delay in detouring or forcibly crossing the river.

Zhang Xuezhou calculated, and then estimated the degree of recovery in his body.

He can't fly high in the sky right now, but it's not a problem to borrow the weak demon power to glide for tens of meters, which allows him to overcome some obstacles, and then rush back to Rongcheng at a faster speed.

"My cousin should go to Fuping County before buying a horse these two days. I will take my cousin's horse and run away. It is possible to run out of the northern border area!"

He thought about it for a while, and then thought about the two horses following him, and felt that the father Yan did a good job.

Excluding Ning Cheng's pursuit of casting spells, and the two riders behind did not keep up with him, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the matter was probably over. When he left the northern border and wandered outside again, or waited until Dong Zhongshu was able to cast a spell to remove the mark of the spell, the matter would be over. The hazard will be completely eliminated.

He looked at the two small, motionless black spots in the distance, and his body swayed into the short hill near the river bank.

"what?"

"He actually knows how to get in and out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

"Is it true that people from the fierce country are here?"

"Damn it, he's jumping around in this river, I'm afraid he's drowned!"

"You don't need to worry, Ning can still feel the imprint of the spell moving over there!"

"Hey, I've explained the matter, should I be let go? The yellow puma he promised to send me is here, and now I want to take the horse!"

Confluence eventually occurs on the banks of the river.

When Ning Cheng and others hurried over with the master's father Yan, they saw that the two men who were in charge of the chase were still shivering with the army horse to keep warm.

But the information given by the father-in-law is too important, and no matter how trembling he is, he will obviously continue to track it down.

"Are you keeping this news true?"

"Let me go, let me be honest!"

The master father Yan yelled, struggling unwillingly with his bound body.

He looked at the yellow puma on the bank of the river, and when he thought of his galloping flying, he couldn't help being excited.

"Ning Lushi, give him a spell mark and let him go. If he lies outspokenly, then we will kill him again!"

Cheng didn't know how to defend with heavy troops, while the Northern Army Corps made repeated attacks, but it was not the people of the fierce country who stopped the Northern Border Army Corps, but countless mountains.

Lacking familiarity with the terrain, the Northern Army lost its way repeatedly and had to withdraw in the end.

Having a guide who is familiar with the terrain is obviously an inestimable benefit.

The four of them stared at each other, only to feel that the lesson-like pursuit had turned into a far-reaching pursuit.

It doesn't matter whether Zhang Xuezhou is in the northern border or elsewhere, they have to find each other out.
