The avalanche stopped, and a white river that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom washed out in the mountainous area covered with pine forests. All animals and plants along the way were swallowed up by the power of nature.
Ed and Teresa stood on the rocks, admiring the scene through binoculars.
Not only the two of them, but also the men they brought with them were looking down.
Such a natural disaster was created by their own hands. After being shocked, a strong sense of accomplishment would inevitably arise in their hearts.
After the avalanche completely stopped, Ed put down the telescope and said, "Go back."
According to his estimation, unless God appeared or Virgil could suddenly fly, it would be impossible to survive such a natural disaster. Even if he wanted to find his body, it would be impossible.
Teresa nodded aside, and Yin Fulin ordered them to give Virgil a big gift, but no matter whether they succeeded or not, they must retreat in time to preserve their strength.
Everyone packed up their things and left, heading to the nearest cable car station.
Just because Yin Fulin and Virgil were not allowed to take the cable car, it didn't mean that others couldn't. Ed and Teresa had to take the cable car into the mountain overnight to be the first to set up traps.
Unfortunately, the two confident people did not realize that somewhere in the middle of the avalanche, a hole hundreds of meters long was cut into the seven or eight-meter-high snow, creating a small safe area.
In this safe area, Virgil and Cook sat slumped on the ground, sweating all over in the cold weather, gasping and swallowing.
Not everyone can stay calm and calm while walking back and forth from the gate of hell.
After they regained their composure, they immediately looked at Qiu Gongyue feverishly with eyes as if they were looking at God. They almost knelt in front of her, raised their hands and shouted: "You're embarrassing."
Akimiya Yue ignored the two frogs in the well and glanced down at the katana in her hand.
Due to excessive force, the katana was already covered with cracks. When touched lightly with a hand, it instantly shattered and fell into pieces on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Virgil immediately struggled to get up from the ground. His legs weakened and he almost fell. Cook quickly supported him.
"Miss Xu Yue, I have a famous sword at home."
Virgil's voice was a little cautious even he himself didn't notice: "I will make it up to you when I get back."
Even the title changed from you to you.
Cook noticed this subtle change but said nothing because he thought Virgil had done the right thing.
At first, Virgil still had a sense of superiority when facing Qiu Gongyue. After all, he was a pure blood of the Violet family and had a noble bloodline. He just felt that Qiu Gongyue's excellence was worthy of his noble bloodline.
Then a few days ago, Qiu Gongyue showed the tip of the iceberg of her strength. After killing the snow wolves and saving Virgil and others, Virgil's sense of superiority towards her disappeared and he regarded her as a strong support and equal in status. goddess.
But now, after seeing Qiu Gongyue display a power that was almost miraculous, Virgil actually felt a little ashamed of himself.
Qiu Gongyue acted too strong and too perfect, which made Virgil unable to maintain equality. He began to feel inferior and his attitude became cautious.
But his humble attitude made Qiu Gongyue feel disgusted.
If Virgil could maintain himself from the beginning to the end, Qiu Gongyue would still be able to look up to him. Now being so arrogant and respectful will only expose his poor moral character.
She already regretted this cooperation and wasted too much time, but now that it was over, there was only one way to go.
"No need, hurry up and get on your way, don't delay."
After saying a word, Qiu Gongyue jumped onto the snow and disappeared from the sight of the two of them.
Virgil and Cook looked at each other, then they all collapsed on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Cook asked in a low voice: "Master, where did you find such a powerful person?"
Virgil laughed happily: "Of course it is the Lord's care."
For such a powerful goddess to be able to meet and cooperate with me and come all the way to help me, isn't this a destiny destined by God?
The slight inferiority complex that had just arisen in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he became confident again.
Seeing the young master's confident expression, Cook opened his mouth at the side, but in the end he said nothing.
…
The sounds of explosions and avalanches spread far across the empty and silent mountains.
Xu Cheng and his party were on their way when they heard a faint sound like thunder coming from the distance.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Xu Cheng and Yin Fulin looked at each other and realized that Ed and Theresa had already taken action.
Short of a miracle, it's hard to imagine how Virgil could have escaped that terrible force of nature.
As a result, everyone's steps became much more brisk, and their tired bodies seemed to be full of strength again.
For the rest of the journey, without enemy obstruction, the snow wolves would not move at such a high place. The only thing standing in front of them was the rugged mountain road.
Relying on professional mountaineering equipment, the group finally climbed to the cable car station built on the snow-capped mountain after several days of arduous trek.
When we got here, we were very close to our destination and the journey was very easy. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.
The cable car station was empty, but it was well stocked with supplies, and there were a dozen sleds filled with oil.
Yin Fulin found the note left by Ed and Theresa here.
They successfully completed the task assigned by Yin Fulin. They originally wanted to wait at the cable car station, but were kicked off by the clan leader's agent. They had to use the cable car to transport some supplies and sleds back and forth and store them at the station.
The five people rested here for half a day, and then sent Daniel down the mountain.
When he was besieged by a pack of snow wolves, Daniel was seriously injured, and even after a simple bandage, he never got better.
"Miss, I can still hold on!"
Daniel looked stubborn and refused to leave everyone and go back first.
Yin Fulin frowned and said, "What's the use of persisting? Do you have to wait until the wound worsens and let us take you down personally?"
Having reached this point, Daniel could no longer hold on. He begged Xu Cheng who was standing aside: "Master Archer, Miss Dinah... I will leave it to you if you have a eldest lady. Please protect her." they."
After all, they had fought side by side, and Xu Cheng did not dislike him for meddling in his own business. He nodded: "I will, you go back and recuperate."
Daniel glanced at Dinah reluctantly, then turned around and got into the cable car.
After the cable car started, it went all the way down the cableway and disappeared in the white clouds in an instant.
Indo Rika bumped into Dinah, who had been silent, with her shoulder, and said narrowly: "This big man is interested in you, what do you say?"
Dinah had no expression on her face and hummed softly: "The dog at home also likes me very much. Do you want me to like a dog?"
Indo Rika was not surprised. Dinah also looked down on her at first. A little girl who was deeply poisoned by the blood theory could only slowly correct her three views.
However, seeing Dinah quickly running to pester Xu Cheng again, speaking one word at a time and speaking so sweetly that her teeth were about to melt, Yin Tenglixiang felt that it was not difficult to correct her three views.
Love brain is not easy to solve.
After the four people made supplies at the cable car station, they continued to set off on the sleigh.
The next journey is not difficult, but very easy, because every year some important members of the family have to go up the mountain to meet the clan leader, and the road conditions must be maintained regularly and improved.
With the help of the sleigh, the four of them arrived at the final destination of the trip in less than an hour.
Xu Cheng and Yin Tenglixiang were very surprised that Violet actually built a castle on the top of the snow mountain.
Although the scale is many times smaller than the castle at the foot of the mountain, the geographical environment determines that the difficulty of construction is definitely much higher than that at the foot of the mountain.
The castle is in Gothic style and is built on a sloping cliff. The gray-white building almost blends in with the environment.
The gate of the castle was open, and the deputy chief of the clan, wearing thick clothes, stood waiting at the door in the cold wind.
This is definitely torture for an old man in his sixties. Yin Fulin cannot vent the anger she has accumulated along the way to such an old man, so she can only suppress it first.
When the deputy clan chief saw Yin Fulin and his party finally appeared, he was relieved: "Yin Fulin, you're finally here. Virgil is waiting for you inside. Go in and rest quickly."
Yin Fulin was surprised: "When did he come?"
He actually didn't die in the avalanche created by Ed and Theresa, and even reached the finish line ahead of him.
In an instant, she realized that it must have been the mysterious master beside Virgil who never showed his face who saved him.
The acting clan leader's tone was also a bit unbelievable: "He has been here since the day before yesterday and has been waiting for you for two days."
Yin Fulin was a little shocked and remained silent for a few seconds, with a solemn look in her eyes.
The mysterious master beside Virgil could help him escape the danger of an avalanche, and could also take him all the way over the mountains and ridges to the castle quickly. This strength was already unimaginable to Yin Fulin.
Xu Cheng also frowned secretly. Could it be that the boss of this mission is the mysterious master beside Virgil?
If it were him, if he wanted to quickly climb the snow-capped mountains, he would have to go alone first. Unless he unlocked the ability, he could take others with him at the same time.
The group entered the warm interior of the castle and met Virgil and his butler Cook.
"Dear Yin Fulin, you are finally here. I have been waiting here for two full days. I almost thought you would never come."
Virgil had a gentle and friendly smile on his face: "Go down and have a good rest. The agent has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. After dinner, we will have a good chat."
Seeing him looking confident of winning, Yin Fulin said with a cold expression: "The one who comes first may not win."
The smile on Virgil's face remained unchanged: "Then just wait and see."
The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds before Yin Fulin left with Xu Cheng and others.
"Hahahahaha!"
Virgil laughed heartily from behind, and his laughter was full of strong confidence that he would win.
The arrangements made by the chief's agent were very thorough. The castle was not only warm, but also had a comfortable hot water pool for bathing in. The dinner was also sumptuous and delicious.
This gave everyone who was tired physically and mentally from crawling around in the snow for several days a rare opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves.
After Xu Cheng finished his dinner, he went to take a bath for a while before returning to his room.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong. He walked to the bed and raised his hand to slap the quilt on the bed hard.
"ah!"
A groan of pain came from the quilt.
Dinah poked her head out from under the quilt like a little animal and said angrily: "Why did you hit me?"
Xu Cheng sat down on the bed and crossed his legs: "I'm killing mosquitoes."
Dinah rubbed her butt: "Liar, where do mosquitoes come from on the snow-capped mountains?"
Xu Cheng reached out and pinched her delicate little nose: "It's mosquitoes that broke into my room uninvited."
Dinah opened her mouth and bit his hand, but missed.
She wrapped herself and Xu Cheng's bodies in quilts, then hugged his waist with both hands, and said in a tired voice: "Arqi, I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?"
"No punishment!"
Xu Cheng refused unceremoniously. He could see what Dinah was thinking, but he was not a beast enough to fall in love with a girl who was only fifteen years old.
"Why~~~"
Dinah started acting coquettishly, her well-developed figure constantly rubbing against Xu Cheng's body through her thin pajamas.
Xu Cheng was about to take her out when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and at the same time there was Yin Fulin's voice: "Arqi, are you asleep? I'm coming in."
Dinah was so frightened that she trembled all over and huddled in the bed like a quail, not daring to move.
Before Xu Cheng could answer, Yin Fulin opened the door and walked in.
She was wearing a coat, but underneath the coat she was clearly wearing a thin silk pajamas.
Xu Cheng only glanced at it, and the image of talking to Yin Fulin in the dark bedroom and seeing her appeared in his mind.
Yin Fulin closed the door with her backhand, then sat on the chair beside the bed, sighed slightly, and gently rubbed her forehead with her hands.
As a strong woman, she rarely showed this weak and tired look in front of outsiders. She only occasionally showed it in front of Xu Cheng, her nephew.
Xu Cheng asked: "Still worried about that mysterious master?"
"yes."
Yin Fulin did not deny it. Everyone's bodies were relaxed tonight, but the psychological pressure she endured did not reduce at all.
I really couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and walked over to Xu Cheng unconsciously.
"Archie..."
Yin Fulin hesitated, not knowing what to say.
The most powerful person on her side is Xu Cheng, and he can only deal with the mysterious master.
But Yin Fulin couldn't bear to put such a heavy burden on her nephew's young shoulders, not to mention it was such a dangerous thing.
Xu Cheng saw her confusion and took the initiative to say: "Leave that mysterious master to me to deal with..."
"Archer!"
Yin Fulin was moved and ashamed. Although she was the elder, she asked her nephew to take on the most dangerous things.
She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Xu Cheng's hand outside the quilt.
Xu Cheng continued: "You are all such bad guys, leaving it to you will not do anything except give the other party a kill to improve their record. In the end, I will have to do it, so you might as well leave it to me from the beginning."
Yin Fulin: "..."
She was so moved that she almost got off guard by Xu Cheng's last words.
But she actually knew in her heart that her nephew said this because he was afraid that she would feel too guilty.
"Archer."
A rare gentle smile appeared on Yin Fulin's lips: "Sometimes, I really can't treat you as a child."
"Small?"
Xu Cheng suddenly became alert: "Where is it too small?"
