Guarding a reservoir? I am guarding the river of time! - Chapter 269

Behind the wooden door, the ground was all ice, in a circular shape, with a radius of about ten meters.

It was like a circular ice bed, and in the center of the ice bed, a fox with snow-white hair was lying on the ground. It was not big, only a little bigger than a small groundhog, but its tail was very long and very big, hovering on the ice bed, like a long silver-white dragon lying dormant.

The little fox discovered Su Mu’s arrival, and slowly stood up and looked at the intruder.

Its pupils were deep purple, and there was a diamond-shaped red mark on its forehead, with a little red light, and then it made a sad voice.

After hearing this sad cry, Su Mu also understood that the cry he had just heard was made by this little fox.

After walking here, Su Mu also understood the terrain here.

This place is on the shore, not far from the main river channel, about a few thousand meters away.

Nine tree walls, forming concentric circles, are like defensive walls, surrounding the last ice bed in the core area, as if protecting it.

At this time, the little fox called softly.

After hearing this voice, the small animal pendants hanging on Su Mu’s legs suddenly let go, silently left the place, retreated outside the wooden door, and gently closed the wooden door.

Judging from this performance, this snow-white little fox should be the leader of this group of little guys.

Su Mu took a step forward, the little fox’s tail was raised high, and his eyes stared at Su Mu’s movements, with a complicated look, but more of a vigilance.

Seeing the snow-white little fox in a fighting state, Su Mu also smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions.”

He knew that the little fox could understand what he said. After all, the little fox’s breath was very strong, and it was a powerful spirit beast.

After walking a few steps, Su Mu squatted down, stretched out his right hand and touched the ice on the ground. The moment he touched it, his fingers trembled slightly.

The water solidified into this ice bed is the same as the water in the river outside, that is, someone transferred the river water to this place and solidified it into such a large ice bed.

Su Mu looked down at the ice surface and saw something, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Long white hair, snow-like neck, white and plump legs, calves like white jade, skin like condensed fat, and beautiful face, just one glance, Su Mu was slightly distracted.

This is a rare beauty in the world, a kind of beauty that can take away people’s souls and the beauty of the world. She closed her eyes and lay quietly in the ice.

Rather than saying that she was lying in the ice, it is better to say that she was frozen in it.

She was not wearing any clothes, and her body was wrapped in snow-white fox tails, covering her smooth and white body. Only the white thighs were faintly visible, and the bare feet with clear bones and flawless whiteness could be seen.

After careful counting, the white-haired woman was covered with a total of eight snow-white fox tails, gently wrapping her, and this fox tail seemed to be exactly the same as the tail of this little fox.

Su Mu stretched out his right hand and put his entire palm on the ice layer. After spreading his consciousness and taking a look, he found that there was no sign of life on the white-haired woman. It was a corpse.

Because the water in this ice layer was the same as the river water outside, Su Mu could feel the changes in this ice bed in detail. It was melting!

And it was melting every minute and every second. At this rate, at most one year, this ice bed would completely melt into water. In that case, the body of this white-haired woman would slowly rot and eventually turn into a skeleton.

It seems that this should be a tomb, which was buried in ice. This method can protect the body of the white-haired woman from being eroded by time and keep her perfect body and appearance.

Alas, Su Mu thought he could find some treasure, but he found a tomb and lost interest.

At this time, when Su Mu looked up, he met the eyes of the little fox. In its eyes, Su Mu seemed to see a trace of… pleading?     Although the little fox did not speak, Su Mu understood the meaning of its eyes.

The next second, the little fox knelt down in front of Su Mu, and its beautiful white tail drooped on the ground, making a faint sound as thin as a mosquito.

“Is this your master?” Su Mu asked tentatively.

After all, it is quite common for such pets to guard the master’s tomb.

Hearing Su Mu’s question, the little fox didn’t know how to answer this question, but finally nodded.

Su Mu looked down at the white-haired woman on the ice bed, locked his consciousness on her, and after a comprehensive investigation, confirmed that the other party had no trace of life at all.

He was not a god who controlled reincarnation, and it was impossible for him to revive a life. Even if Su Mu’s current means were very strong, at least the other party had to have a trace of life left in order to be saved.

Moreover, this white-haired woman had been dead for many years, and even the traces of life left on her body had disappeared. If it weren’t for this ice bed, her body would not exist, and would have dissipated in the world here long ago.

After confirming several times, Su Mu sighed faintly and said, “There is no way, I can’t save your master.”

After hearing this answer, the little fox lay on the ground, curled up, very quiet and depressed.

It was like a little life that had lived for countless years, waiting in endless time, with nothing left except loneliness.

Su Mu had no choice but to leave. He walked towards the wooden door step by step.

Pushing the wooden door open, he found that the little marmots and little brown bears were kneeling devoutly towards the wooden door.

At this moment, they no longer had the unwillingness to admit defeat and unwillingness to accept that had just madly stopped Su Mu. Instead, they looked at Su Mu cautiously and with hope.

They regarded Su Mu as hope, so they knelt outside one by one, waiting quietly.

Seeing this group of little guys like this, Su Mu was also a little touched. It seemed that these little guys had been guarding here for an unknown period of time, and regarded themselves as the hope to save their masters.

But the reality is very cruel.

It is not difficult for Su Mu, who is at the level of Immortal King, to resurrect a person, but it depends on what kind of life is resurrected.

Su Mu can resurrect some ordinary people, some ordinary cultivators.

However, the white-haired woman was obviously not an ordinary person, and she must have carried a great cause and effect. Such a being, at least for now, Su Mu could not revive.

Resurrection is small, but also big.

In a small sense, it is just to revive a life. In a big sense, you have to subvert the entire reincarnation to revive a dead life.

Looking at their eyes looking at him, Su Mu also sighed heavily.

Turning back to the door, he stepped on the ice bed, walked towards the little fox step by step, and murmured: “I’ll give it a try.”
