"Okay, come on, come on, everyone, come and have a rest. Lao Cui, let's make some food for everyone to warm up!"
Hong Liang and his party immediately found an open space and started cooking at a distance away from Gu Yunchu and others, looking like they had special experience in surviving in the wild.
"Fellow Daoist Yun Gu, can you help us protect the law and adjust our breathing? Because we were on guard against each other, no one dared to meditate peacefully." Jiang Jiu hesitated for a long time, but decided to ask Yun Gu for help.
"Okay, just in time to see if you can recover your spiritual power." Gu Yunchu agreed upon hearing this, took a futon and sat aside, took out a glass cup and drank, looking like a guardian.
Hong Liang has been paying attention to the situation here. A group of mentally depressed men and women and a good-looking female nun with a lively look. He doesn’t know what happened. As soon as the food is ready, he comes over to say hello:
"Fairy, your companions are all cultivating. Would you like to come over and have something to eat with us? It's all ready, just out of the pot!"
Gu Yunchu, who was drinking, raised his head and looked at Hong Liang in front of him. He was wearing a robe made of silk. He looked not like a monk at all, but more like a businessman. He had a big ring on his finger and looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, may I ask Mr. Hong where he came from and where he is going?" He had nothing to do, but when he heard Hong Liang's invitation, he stood up and followed Hong Liang.
"Haha, Fairy, you're welcome. Just call me Hong Liang. Come here to get bowls and chopsticks and chat while eating?"
"My name is Yun Gu, as long as I have wine!"
"Okay, then I'll eat. Let's chat while we eat." Hong Liang didn't force it, as long as he could chat. He took the bowls and chopsticks himself and said while eating:
"To be honest, fellow Taoist Yun, our group of people are not very advanced in cultivation. We are just foot traders. We can't earn many spiritual stones even if we run around outside all year round. We don't even have foundation-building cultivation. Not long ago, someone offered a high price in Xuecheng. I was asked to pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus. I thought that if I did this, I would wash my hands in a golden basin. So I and my group of brothers invited two local hunters to come. Whether it succeeds or not, let’s give it a try!”
"Don't you have a target? Are you just searching aimlessly?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the buyer gave us a map, saying that there is a Snow Lotus Mountain, which is rich in snow lotus. Climb past the current snow mountain, and then climb over two snow mountains, which is the Snow Lotus Mountain."
"Is snow lotus so easy to pick? Isn't it difficult?"
"It's not easy to pick. It is said that Snow Lotus Mountain is full of snow beasts and even ice beasts, but we have also made preparations. If we can't pick snow lotus, we can just get a few snow crystals. Fellow Taoist Yun, are you here to look for snow crystals? How about we do it together."
"Okay, we planned to set off tomorrow!" Gu Yunchu felt that he was not familiar with Jiang Jiu and others. They were all unfamiliar with the place anyway, so it was better to expand the team.
Early the next morning, Jiang Jiu, Li Qian and others recovered some spiritual power and relaxed. It seemed that the previous depletion of spiritual power was caused by the moving hands and feet of the demon soul.
When Gu Yun first saw their relaxed expressions and was very relieved, he briefly explained to them the idea of going with Hong Liang and his party. Jiang Jiu and others did not object. After all, no one had a clear direction, so it was better to follow Hong Liang and his party. , they picked snow lotus and hunted the snow beasts themselves, killing two birds with one stone.
Hong Liang was very happy and asked his people to pack up their belongings and go on the road together.
Li Qian's mental state has improved a lot, and she has been sticking to Gu Yunchu's side, like a little tail.
"Sister Yun, where are you from? After collecting snow crystals, do you want to go to our Nanfeng Kingdom? My home is in Nanfeng City, the capital of Nanfeng Kingdom. I see that Sister Yun likes to drink. I will treat you to our specialty when the time comes. Baihua Brew!"
"Baihua Brewing? It sounds delicious. If I go to Nanfeng Country in the future, I will definitely look for you. Can you stock up some Baihua Brewing for me first?" Gu Yunchu was moved. Gu Yunchu, who now likes drinking, feels that any place with good wine can Worth a visit, Monkey Wine, Huanhun Wine, and old wine from the old wine shop have different tastes and different effects, but they are all equally delicious!
"That's for sure. As long as I return to Nanfeng Kingdom, whenever I encounter good wine in the future, I will buy two jars and keep them for Sister Yun, okay?" Li Qian's eyes narrowed as she smiled, and her eyes were crooked. Like a crescent moon.
"Haha, sister Qian'er is the best, I will be very lucky in the future!" Gu Yunchu felt very good when he saw such a well-behaved Li Qian. He stretched out his hand to pinch Li Qian's little face and smiled happily!
Jiang Jiu didn't look good, because Hong'er had followed him for so many years and died suddenly. He was particularly unaccustomed to it, and he secretly vowed to be incompatible with the devil from now on!
It was a safe journey. The group of more than 30 people stopped and walked. It took about ten days to climb over the two snow-capped mountains. When we saw the Snow Lotus Mountain in the distance, everyone instantly forgot about the fatigue of the journey and felt better. .
The Northern Territory is very large, and Snow Lotus Mountain is difficult to find, but it is still on the outer edge of the Northern Territory and is close to the inner edge, so the danger is controllable.
"Look! There is the Snow Lotus Mountain Range ahead! Everyone, be alert. We are going up the mountain. It is said that snow lotus likes to grow on the top of the mountain or high on the cliff. But from now on, snow beasts may appear at any time! Everyone, be careful and alert!" Hong Liang Shouting loudly, a group of people took magical weapons and were always on guard.
"Sister Yun, my spiritual power has almost recovered. Whenever there is danger, you should hide behind me! Although I am only eighteen years old, I am already in the middle stage of foundation building!" Li Qian patted her chest confidently!
"Ah? Qian'er, you are so advanced? Then you still call me sister?" Gu Yunchu was embarrassed to say that he was too old. After all, he gave a false name and age. He said that Yun Gu was twenty years old.
"You saved our lives, so you should be called a sister. From now on, you will be my sister, the kind of sister who is more affectionate than a real person, well, the kind of sister who I provide you with wine!" Li Qian explained nonchalantly.
"As long as you're happy, I'll listen to you!" Gu Yunchu was helpless. He didn't want to lie anymore. I'm tired!
"There is a mountain col ahead, everyone, be careful and stay closer!" Hong Liang led the way and shouted back to everyone.
"Sister Yun, don't be afraid! Follow me!" Li Qian had the Thunderstorm Talisman in her left hand and a Jade Girl Sword in her right hand, protecting Gu Yunchu behind her.
Gu Yunchu directly held the black iron club in his hand, because Wangchuan said that he would not take action without the ice beast.
Gu Yunchu couldn't help it. His pets all had tempers, and he could only use the black iron stick that couldn't speak at will.
"Jigu, jigu, jigu!"
Suddenly, a dozen or so two-meter-long snow beasts appeared in front of them. They looked like bears but were made of condensed snow. They held all kinds of strange weapons made of snow in their hands and rushed forward with shouts!
Snow beasts are also divided into different levels. Low-level snow beasts are equivalent to the later stage of Qi training, mid-level snow beasts are equivalent to the foundation-building level, and high-level snow beasts are equivalent to the golden elixir level!
The snow beast in front of them was a low-level snow beast. They were evenly matched by Gu Yunchu and others, but they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
Gu Yunchu did not hide behind Li Qian, but rushed towards a snow beast and fought together.
The weapon of this snow beast was like a broadsword. It rushed towards Gu Yunchu and slashed at it. Gu Yunchu raised his stick to meet it and used 100% of his strength. He thought that the broadsword would scatter into snowflakes, but it did fall apart, but it recovered instantly.
The snow beast was not afraid at all. As soon as the sword was scattered, the next sword struck fiercely. Gu Yunchu had no choice but to hit it with the stick again!
One person and one snow beast immediately started a fierce fight, and the situation of the others was not optimistic. Because there were many people, they basically attacked one snow beast together. However, the snow beast's recovery ability was too strong, giving people the illusion that it could not be killed!
"Each snow beast must be completely killed three times before it can no longer recover. Injuries have no impact on them. Everyone, be careful!" Hong Liang took the opportunity to shout out the method of attacking the snow beast. Looking at everyone's dejected look, morale must be restored. Just come!
"Put the stick away, take my place!" Seeing Gu Yunchu panting from exhaustion and being unable to kill a snow beast for a long time, Wangchuan finally couldn't bear it.
"Okay!" Gu Yunchu was overjoyed when he heard this. He put away the big black iron wood stick and held Wangchuan flying down above his head!
Before the snow beast could cut again, Gu Yunchu jumped directly into the sky and chopped off the head of the snow beast. The snow beast raised his sword to resist, but Wangchuan unexpectedly split it in half from head to toe with the sword. Before he could recover, Gu Yunchu raised his sword to stab again. To the heart of the snow beast.
"Bang!" The snow beast dissipated instantly, and an irregular-shaped white snow crystal fell on the snow, emitting a white light!
Gu Yunchu picked it up, looked at it, and received it in the storage ring.
"Master, I want a hundred yuan for that snow crystal! Get a refrigerated space!" Siling accidentally noticed that Gu Yunchu got a snow crystal and immediately asked for it!
"One hundred yuan? Let me work hard!" Gu Yunchu cried silently. I just picked one piece and it took so much effort. It cost a hundred yuan for this one. I really used myself as a labor force.
"Chi-chi-chi, chi-chi!" came a voice in the distance, and the remaining snow beasts immediately retreated and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, don't go, don't go!" Li Qian stamped her feet anxiously, seeing that it was enough three times, why did she run away?
The others also beat their chests and stamped their feet, and ran away when they saw the snow crystals in their hands.
"Sister Yun, did you get the snow crystals? I almost let them escape! What a pity!" Li Qian ran to Gu Yunchu in disappointment and complained.
"Then, I'll give you this piece, and help me store wine in the future!" Gu Yunchu directly took the piece of snow crystal and stuffed it into Li Qian's hand.
"Ah? Sister Yun is amazing! She killed this snow beast three times so quickly!" Li Qian looked at the snow crystal in her hand and was overjoyed. It was cold in her hand, and the irregular cross-section glowed white. It was so beautiful.
"It's just a coincidence. Just keep it. If there are more snow beasts later, we can collect more snow crystals!" Gu Yunchu felt that he had to collect a hundred snow crystals for Silk Spirit. That one had no meaning at all, but for Li For Qian, the meaning was different. Gu Yunchu gave himself the only snow crystal currently.
Since the snow beast appeared, everyone was on the right track. Seeing that Gu Yunchu had already picked a snow crystal, he felt that he would definitely be able to pick snow crystals later, and the whole team's momentum suddenly became high.
"Wangchuan, didn't you say you had to kill the snow beast three times? Why did you do it as soon as you took action?" Gu Yunchu asked Wangchuan secretly.
"Because I am a fierce sword!" Wangchuan didn't want to answer Gu Yunchu. It would be difficult to explain, so he might as well not say it.
Gu Yunchu didn't ask the reason, and he didn't hesitate. It didn't matter, as long as he could collect snow crystals, the group continued to move up the mountain.
"Chi-chi-chi-chi!" Suddenly countless white snow beasts poured out from all directions, with some ice mixed in them.
Ice beasts are completely different from snow beasts. Ice beasts are like monsters made of translucent ice. They are tall and burly, with a fierce face.
Gu Yunchu and others did not notice anything unusual at all, and were instantly surrounded by thousands of snow beasts and ice beasts.
"Oh my God, there are so many snow beasts and ice beasts! Fly to the sky!"
Hong Liang came to his senses in a hurry, and instantly everyone flew high into the sky. If you can't beat him, you might as well run away.
As a result, countless ice eagles flew out of the snow beasts and attacked the flying people overwhelmingly. The unprepared people couldn't resist and fell to the ground. The snow beast, led by the ice beast, instantly surrounded the people into several encirclement circles.
"Jigujigu!" With a scream, the snow beast began to attack Gu Yunchu and others crazily.
