Forces of Temptation

    Taking advantage of this time, the group of people staggered forward in the increasingly violent wind and snow.

    Having seen the undead body of the half-length woman, no one believed that the small avalanche could really do any damage to these four monsters.

    So they should make full use of this hard-won opportunity and expand it to their advantage as much as possible.

    They trudged through the snow in a circuitous way.

      most of them.

    Fortunately, everyone supports each other, and the speed of travel is not slow.

    Everyone is quiet, one step at a time, snow and sand.

    Snow has the properties of absorbing sound and reflecting light.

    The dazzling rotten silver on the ground makes people wearing snow goggles inevitably feel dazzled. In addition, in the climb without knowing the way forward, it is really hard not to have a strong sense of loneliness and panic.

    So get as close as possible to each other with body temperature and skin-to-skin contact.

    Nanzhou did not let Jiang Fang carry it, and followed behind the team in silence.

    Li Yinhang was led away by Liang Shu and couldn't help but look back frequently, very worried about Nan Zhou's health.

    Jiang Fang, who held Nan Zhou's hand gently in his palm, hummed softly.

    It is a Ukrainian folk song.

      It was just right, light and warm.

    He Yinchuan in the rear reminded: "Save oxygen."

    Jiang Fang glanced at him, nodded to thank him for his concern, and continued to hum his song.

    He Yinchuan saw Nan Zhou staggering and staggered, guessing that his physical strength was about to run out, he wiped his cheek, pinched his watch, and immediately gave the order: "Rest! Three minutes! "

    Nan Zhou was very obedient, and immediately sat down on the ground neatly, burying his face on his knees, taking the time to straighten his breath and regain his strength.

    He Yinchuan was used to fighting with his comrades, so he snorted on his head and said with a smile, "Young man, why are you so fake."

    Nan Zhou raised his face from his arms to look at him.

    He Yinchuan gave him a helpless look.

    He walked last, of course, for the rear.

    Secondly, he wanted to see what was so special about the people who made Lin Zhisong pay so much attention.

    He once thought that Nan Zhou's weakness was a fake.

    As a result, along the way, he looked horizontally and vertically, no matter how he looked at Nan Zhou, he felt that he was a smart and weak sick beauty, and his movements were even a bit clumsy.

    It's just that his brain is better, is Lin Zhisong keeping an eye on him?

    He Yinchuan shook his head, wondering what Lin Zhisong was targeting Nan Zhou for.

    Lin Zhisong is also very thoughtful, and refuses to express conjectures with them.

    Thinking of this, He Yinchuan shook his head helplessly, walked forward, and went to check the situation of others one by one.

    Lu Bifang was first arranged to explore the way, and then followed the large army to march quickly, and his physical strength was naturally exhausted.

    But he still had his responsibilities in mind, and as soon as he stopped, he panted to see the "Cube Ark" trio.

    Lu Bifang was panting like a bellows, but it was much better than Nan Zhou's low panting with a painful end.

    He couldn't help but want to give him a smooth flow, but Nan Zhou's body was held in Jiang Fang's arms, and he patted it gently, he couldn't find a place to intervene. Son.

    He had to remind him: "If you think about the copy, your physical fitness... or practice..."

    Nan Zhou raised her head slightly again, as if she was about to be overwhelmed by the heavy goggles: "…Thank you."

    Lu Bifang smiled honestly and cutely: "You're welcome."

    Nan Zhou put his hands on his knees and looked at his reflection in the snow.

    After watching this quietly for a while, he suddenly stood up.

    …and then fell straight back because her legs were weak.

    Fortunately, Jiang Fang was quick to pick it up, so he nudged his knee with his toes and hooked into his arms.

    Two people hugged and rolled in the soft snowdrift for two laps before they could stop the downward trend.

    He Yinchuan, who made a round of tours and unilaterally chatted with Zhou Ao before turning back, looked at the two people who suddenly rolled together: "..."

    He asked, "What's wrong?"

    Nan Zhou raised his head from Jiang Fang's arms and said, "You can't go on like this."

    He Yinchuan: "What can you do?"

    Nan Zhou said: "We will go separately."

    He Yinchuan was the first to object: "No. We can't leave anyone behind."

    He Yinchuan stared at this weak but alert young man, worried that he was afraid of dragging down the team due to his physical strength, but another voice told him secretly that he was not so naive and willing people who die.

    He Yinchuan: "Tell me about your arrangement."

    Nan Zhou: "I, and Brother Fang, leave you. The two teams, go separately."

    At that moment, "Bronze", who had some tacit suspicions about the identity of the two, combined with the tape recorder that was discovered before, and suddenly thought that they were aware of the imminent exposure of their identities and wanted to Find an excuse to escape the team.

    Lin Zhisong got closer, and a large cloud of mist came out of his mouth, obscuring the suspicious light in his eyes: "Where are you going?"

    Although he asked "you", his eyes always only fell on Nan Zhou.

    Nan Zhou opened his mouth and said, "Look for a place on the mountain where you can camp."

    …this is too much of a prevarication to get away with.

    Liang Shu asked: "...Aren't you going to continue climbing?"

    Nanzhou: "It's pointless to just climb up."

    Nanzhou: "At the top of the mountain, there may not be something they really care about."

    This is a bit of a headless statement.

    He Yinchuan frowned: "Didn't they say that the man-eating moon **** is on the top of the mountain?"

    Nan Zhou: "They also said that they can't offend the Moon God, so they will kill whoever goes up the mountain."

    The wind and snow passed, and it was silent.

    He Yinchuan frowned: "You mean, they are lying?"

    Nan Zhou said: "I don't know."

    Nan Zhou added: "But I know they don't want us to go up the mountain."

    …Isn’t that obvious.

    Nan Zhou said: "...but they themselves often go up the mountain."

    In the conversation with them, they mentioned that they will visit the mountain regularly.

    It was precisely because they learned that these monsters would patrol the mountains that they had to give up the fantasy of stationing in place, and chose to attack them and support them.

    However, Nan Zhou, who has been watching the expressions of the three since then, felt very strange.

    …When they talked about the mountain patrol, their eyes were all looking at the mountain.

    It seems that their duty is to patrol the distance from their station to the top of the mountain.

    As for the bottom of the mountain, if there are no traces and evidence of intruders, it is not worth their attention.

    The evidence is that even when they listened to their intelligence and went down the mountain to search, they left two people on the spot to look after the small building, for fear that they would go up the mountain.

    "What are they afraid of. So while intimidating other climbers, there is a moon **** on the mountain, and they are not allowed to go up the mountain; on the other hand, they chase and kill those who really want to go up the mountain."

    "So maybe there is something important and inviolable to them on the mountain."

    "That thing may not be on the top of the mountain, because if it is really on the top of the mountain, they can directly guard it."

    "So, I want to look for it, starting from an altitude of 4513 meters, to a convenient place to camp and rest from the distance to the top of the mountain, to see if there are any clues."

    I have to say, even if Nan Zhou really intends to find an excuse to leave the team, this is a very good reason.

    Also, Nan Zhou's conjecture is just a conjecture.

    This is not worth the effort to verify.

    The best way to deal with it is to assign two or three people to prove this conjecture.

    He Yinchuan was speechless and asked Jiang Fang, "Do you want to go with him?"

    Nan Zhou didn't ask Jiang Fang's opinion just now, and now he turned his head to look at him.

    Jiang Fang smiled and shrugged: "My honor."

    He Yinchuan sighed slightly, knowing that this meant that he could not be persuaded.

    He could see that although Jiang Fang was smart, he was a real Nanzhou supremacist.

    He instructed backwards: "Little Lu—"

    Jiang Fang waved his hand: "No need. We just need to go."

    …This is a decision to part ways with them.

    Li Yinhang naturally knows which side he wants to stand on.

    She was about to follow, but was stopped by a gesture from Nanzhou.

    He said plainly but directly: "I can't protect you now. Besides, Brother Fang only takes care of me, so I'm already very tired."

    Nan Zhou turned to He Yinchuan and said, "Help take care of our Yinhang. When the mission is over, we will pick him up."

    Jiang Fang also smiled: "Yinhang, listen to them."

    …The tone is like parents coming to pick you up after school.

    Li Yinhang stopped walking towards them, thought for a while, and replied obediently, "Oh."

    He Yinchuan stared at Nanzhou.

    His eyes under the light brown goggles are cold and emotionless, but very clear.

    He Yinchuan intuition, they didn't want to escape.

    They really want to find another way out.

    …

    Looking at the back of Nan Zhou who were lying on Jiang Fang's shoulders leaving, Liang Shu curiously asked Li Yinhang: "Were you friends before?"

    Li Yinhang answered truthfully: "No, we only met when we entered this game."

    Lin Zhisong fixed her eyes: "Then how much do you know about them?"

    These undisguised words suddenly made Li Yinhang a little angry.

    She did not speak harshly, but clearly expressed her position: "—they are good people."

    Liang Shu heard the disgust and resistance in her words, and bumped Lin Zhisong with his elbow, reminding him to restrain himself.

    Lin Zhisong closed his mouth, but thought of what Jiang Fang had done when he used an ice **** to drive into the back of the woman.

    Smooth without delay.

    …Although the other party is not human, Jiang Fang does not look very much.

    As for Nanzhou…

    Lin Zhisong, who has always been quite confident in his memory, felt annoyed for the first time.

    He absolutely, absolutely, has seen Nanzhou.

    Shadows and shadows, only one layer apart, but it is always difficult to detect the truth.

    After choking Lin Zhisong, Li Yinhang felt a little remorse.

    I am still under their protection, so why be so stiff.

    Li Yinhang, a tenth-level scholar holding his thighs, followed suit, quickly opened the chapter, and said, "Let's go."

    …

    On the vast snow-capped peak, the eight small ants, which were already extremely small, moved to the right and left, and went their separate ways.

    In a short while, between heaven and earth, the only thing that can confirm the existence of Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang is the warmth of their bodies.

    Nan Zhou was lying on Jiang Fang's back, with his legs crossed around his waist.

    He asked softly, "Am I heavy?"

    Jiang Fang handed over a compressed biscuit with one hand and said with a smile, "You can work hard from now on."

    Nan Zhou hid behind him, bit the frozen hard biscuit lightly, and brushed off the biscuit crumbs that fell on Jiang Fang's shoulder.

    Like He Yinchuan, their goals are quite clear.

    A flat, leeward, place away from gravel and snow, with a depression stream.

    In this area with an altitude of more than 4000 meters, most mountaineering teams will start a charge to the top of the mountain in one go.

    There are not many places that meet the relevant conditions.

    Nanzhou has recovered from the extreme muscle aches and breathing difficulties.

    He could have gone to the ground and accompany Jiang Fang on the road.

    He could hear Jiang Fang's slightly heavy and stagnant breathing so close, Nan Zhou touched the position of his heart.

    …he doesn't feel well.

    Is it because of the elevation and closer to the moon?

    He tugged at the corner of Jiang Fang's clothes: "Have a rest."

    Jiang Fang asked him: "Tired?"

    Nan Zhou: "Yeah." You are tired.

    Therefore, Jiang Fang found a rock sheltered from the wind, just big enough for two people to hide, and put the Nanzhou down properly.

    Because the angle of laying it down was not right, the shoulder straps of Jiang Fang's jacket caught Nanzhou's cold-proof hat and pulled his hat off.

    Jiang Fang laughed: "Sorry."

    He picked up his hat, uncovered Nanzhou's goggles, propped up the brim, gently slipped his fingertips down Nanzhou's ears, and put the cold-proof hat back in place.

    However, Jiang Fang did not stop the urge, not knowing where it came from.

    He pulled the winter hat all the way down, covering his eyes.

    …Only a pair of pale lips of Nanzhou were exposed.

    Nan Zhou did not resist, but frowned in confusion in the blurred vision.

    Jiang Fang took off his gloves.

    The reason why he can make such a judgment when he can't see it is because Jiang Fang is gently stroking his lips with his extremely warm fingertips.

    Nan Zhou felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

    It seems that at some point in the past, there was also such a hand, when his eyes were covered with foreign objects, he made such actions to him.

    As if his lips were something amazing.

    The fresh and warm breath between his lips returned to Nan Zhou's face, which was as familiar as then.

    But... he vaguely remembered that the people who had done the same thing to him were obviously not as tired as Jiang Fang, but they were still breathing slightly in front of him, as if they were about to lose their breath.

    Nanzhou felt that this was a bit strange.

    He even wondered if he had eaten biscuits just now, and the corners of his mouth were stained with scum without knowing it.

    But he still didn't move.

    Jiang Fang did not make any extra moves.

    After a while, he pulled back the hat that covered Nan Zhou's eyes.

    Nanzhou's dark and clear eyes were able to see again.

    He looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Fang, who was kneeling in front of him, smiled, and covered his eyes with his palms that had been blown cold: "Why don't you close your eyes? You can't rest. Yes."

    Under the moonlight, Jiang Fang's smile was filled with a splendid heroic spirit.

    Nanzhou's expression is still cold and indifferent.

    He didn't say anything, picked up the gloves he threw to his knees and put them on for him.

    Jiang Fang naturally had no objection, and took the initiative to hand over his arms.

    Just as Jiang Fang was looking at his long eyelashes with Ningxue, he was full of emotions, and he accidentally caught a little afterimage in the falling snow.

    Jiang Fang reacted quickly, immediately pressed Nan Zhou's head, and completely hidden behind the black rock with him.

    Nan Zhou was accidentally pressed into a posture of interlocking fingers by him, and he hugged him again.

    He looked at Jiang Fang silently and in surprise.

    Jiang Fang shrugged at him, and was afraid that the snow light would hurt his eyes, so he grabbed the goggles and put them on for him, only then did he let the curious Nan Zhou come out and check it out with him Happening.

    At first, seeing the monsters moving in the wind and snow, Nanzhou thought they were going to meet those monsters again.

    It wasn't until the snow was a little lighter that he could see what the strangely shaped thing was.

    —There are two lonely legs in yellow hiking pants, running on the snow field.

    Has and only has legs.

    Look at the shape of the pelvis, it should be a pair of legs of a woman.

    This scene is a bit funny, but when I see it with my own eyes, the funny is replaced by an unusually fierce and weird sense of horror.

    The legs also seemed to have their own spirituality, running and stopping for a while, as if they were looking for a target.

    Nan Zhou thought silently while watching, this is probably the real split.

    He looked at Jiang Fang.

    Jiang Fang also cast a sly look at him and winked at him.

    The two exchanged opinions in extreme time and reached an agreement.

    Jiang Fang took out the C-level item named [Heart of Beauty, everyone has it] from the item slot.

    …a small round vanity mirror.

    This thing fits the role of its C-level props very well.

    That doesn't do much.

    Jiang Fang leaned back against the rock, weighed the mirror in the palm of his hand, and threw it back—

    The mirror, facing up, fell silently into the nearby snow.

    The legs seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped, and looked at a black rock 40 meters away from it.

    —The upside-down mirror there is bathed in moonlight, refracting dazzling fragmentary light toward it.

    Like a lure.
