The four of them marched slowly according to the map. The terrain here was uneven. Unlike Nora and the others, who were protected by armor, Xie Zhuang could easily trip.

Alandil on the side had to lift the man up every time, which caused their speed to slow down a lot.

Fortunately, the weather has become clearer and the cold wind has dropped.

The weather here changes so easily that Alandil couldn't help but urge Xie Zhuang: "Go faster, you act like we are abusing you!"

Although Xie Zhuang had warm equipment, his thick clothes also caused some inconvenience to his movements.

"Young man, I'm old. I'm not as flexible as you and I'm not afraid of the cold. This is one of the coldest areas in the south!"

"Didn't you say you've been here before? The second walk is much faster than the first!"

"I haven't even climbed over the snow-capped mountains last time. How could I get here? You don't know how rough the first half of the journey is!"

"Besides, that was more than ten years ago. The terrain here is always changing, with wind and snow, it's possible to get lost!"

Alandil was suspicious: "You wouldn't have given me a fake map, would you? I saw that you were very reluctant to come out just now!"

Xie Zhuang exhaled with difficulty: "Do you think I look like this? How many people have been buried here, I have no intention of risking my life!"

Alandil snorted coldly. Although Xie Zhuang was hard to believe, in this environment, I don't think he could pull off any tricks.

If he wanted to escape, this icy and snowy environment would kill him in minutes.

Soon, the temperature changed.

The snow and ice began to smile, the red land appeared, and the temperature changed from minus dozens of degrees below zero to more than ten degrees.

Then, the temperature rose to forty degrees.

That is to say, they were closer to the lava. Xie Zhuang quickly took off his clothes, and the temperature suddenly changed.

If you are not careful, you can easily lose consciousness.

After a while, they came to the entrance of a canyon. According to Xiezhuang's map, it was where the Terry Fruit was.

The temperature here makes people sweat constantly. The sweat drops fall to the ground and are quickly evaporated.

Xie Zhuang was panting and said: "Guys, it's too hot inside. My body can't bear it. Just go in and I'll wait outside!"

"Look at the surrounding environment, I can't escape even if I want to. You can also leave someone to monitor me!"

Looking at Xie Zhuang's appearance, Nora replenished her body with fluids and did not let the flesh and blood body get close to the lava. Severe dehydration would cause loss of consciousness, coma or even shock.

She thought about it for a moment, and she didn't know what was going on inside. Bringing someone with him who didn't have much combat ability or protective ability increased the uncertainty.

"Alandil, you and Xie Zhuang are meeting outside. If you have any questions, please contact us at any time."

Although Alandil was also curious about the Terry Fruit, it was indeed important to keep an eye on Xie Zhuang, so he had no objection.

Nora and Eli entered the canyon.

Alandil stared at Xie Zhuang's actions. This guy was very uneasy and well-intentioned, so he had to be careful.

Xie Zhuang wiped his sweat with the clothes at hand and looked at the young man who had made him suffer earlier. It was indeed him who stayed.

"Young man, you don't have to stare at me like a formidable enemy. I can't escape."

Xie Zhuang found a mound of dirt and sat down. The things on these three people allowed them to survive in extreme environments with ease.

He needs to start preparing for action.

"Do you still have water on you?" Xie Zhuang poured the water bottle on him, indicating that it was empty.

Alandil ripped off the kettle from his body and handed it to Xie Zhuang impatiently.

"This is the only bottle left, save some and drink it. You can suffer it by yourself after drinking it!"

This guy Xie Zhuang really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while. Alandil saw that there was no movement on his part and turned his attention to the communicator.

Nora and the others have been in there for half an hour, and there is still no news.

"Xie Zhuang, what exactly is inside?"

Xie Zhuang was calm and said: "I haven't been in there either, and I don't know what's inside. If you want to know, you can follow and have a look!"

"You'd better stop thinking this way. If I go in, I will drag you with me!"

If you want to take the opportunity to escape, there is no way!

During this period of time, Xie Zhuang, in addition to learning knowledge in new fields, was also studying the weaknesses of these three young people.

These three young people don't seem to communicate much, but they have a tacit understanding. It is not practical to divide them from within.

But after they are separated, it will be much easier to defeat them individually.

Xie Zhuang's mentality is very peaceful. The young man in front of him is somewhat smart, but he can't bear his temper and is prone to chaos when he cares about him.

So what he needs now is to wait for the most appropriate time.

An hour later, Alandil has not received any message from Nora and the others. There is no news, which may mean that the situation is still under control.

The waiting time is always long, so Xie Zhuang opened his mouth to divert his attention: "You are from the north, right?"

Alandil, who was originally irritable, was a little surprised when he heard this, but he did not admit it directly.

"Why do you think so?"

Xie Zhuang took his time and said: "The technologies you have are not what the south has today. Even psychics do not have these equipment."

"Besides, even though I live in a remote village, I still know about the war in the outside world and the invasion of Yuan in the north."

"The sharp weapons and equipment you have don't have strong firepower, which means you are different from those ferocious northern soldiers."

"The reason why I didn't bring it up is because I wanted to see what your purpose was."

Alandil was thinking about how to deal with it, and Xie Zhuang now pointed out what he knew well; he didn't know what the purpose was.

Xie Zhuang continued: "Now it seems that you are just looking for some precious crystals and plants in the south. This has no conflict with me."

"I think we can have more cooperation. I'm very curious about your technology."

"I can exchange my lifelong knowledge, including detailed methods of dragon taming, for it."

Alandil: "I can't decide these matters alone. I'll talk about this after Nora and the others come back."

"Didi."

A voice came from Alandil's communicator, it was Nora, her voice was intermittent.

"We are under attack by unknown creatures; expect it to take more time."

There were still gunshots. He asked again, but there was no reply.

Alandil, who was already a little irritable, couldn't sit still.

He grabbed Xie Zhuang's collar: "Why were they attacked? Do you have anything else to hide?"

Xie Zhuang looked innocent: "I told you that I have never been inside, and I got that map from a descendant of a certain first warrior!"

"I've said this a long time ago, it's useless for you to get angry at me!"

Alandil threw Xie Zhuang away. Indeed, he had no evidence to prove that Xie Zhuang was lying to them.

"If you're worried, you can handcuff me. Wouldn't it be nice if you went in to help me?"

Alandil saw that what Xie Zhuang said could indeed be implemented. After all, after being handcuffed, it was absolutely impossible for Xie Zhuang to escape alone in a place like this.

And even if the giant python was following behind, it would be impossible for it to keep up with the speed of the Sky Blade in such a short period of time.

On the shelf, snakes are all hibernating creatures, and the towering snow-capped mountains are the threshold that they cannot cross.

Another ten minutes passed, and neither Nora nor Eli responded to his messages, and Alandil couldn't sit still.

He took out handcuffs and tied Xie Zhuang to a nearby stone. This stone weighed at least several tons.

Even if Xie Zhuang's physique has been transformed by himself, it will not be so easy to break free.

To be on the safe side, Alandil also injected him with a small amount of sedative, which would allow him to lose most of his strength without falling into coma.

Xie Zhuangtie complained with a livid face: "You can't do this, right?"

"I can't be careless when dealing with a cunning person like you!" Alandil clapped his hands: "Stay here well, you'd better hope that we all come back safely!"
