Ruolan and Fubo were moving very fast. Although this place was outside the official map of the empire, there were still some paths for hunters and herb collectors to walk. The eight of them each used their skills to move quickly along these mountain paths. Entering the range of Snow Mist Mountain.
"Sister Ruolan, besides us, are there several forces organizing teams to explore this cave this time?"
Taking advantage of Uncle Fu leading the way at the front of the team, Li Mu tapped his feet, jumped to Ruolan's side, and asked.
"Yes, news about this cave has been circulating in Huiyue City for a long time, attracting many forces who want to participate in it. However, because it is only a cave for entry-level monks of the Infinite Realm, most of the teams sent by top families and sects They are mainly children of the younger generation.”
Seeing Li Mu asking, Ruolan naturally knew everything and explained the ins and outs of this treasure hunting operation to Li Mu one by one.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Lord of the Cave Mansion is an extremely rare insect master, we at Jinfuxuan might not have organized this team. However, there are two young disciples sent by the top forces that we need to pay attention to. One of them is Qian Qian. Nalan Xue from the Fantasy Sect, and the other one is Lin Dong from the Lin family in Huiyue City."
Ruolan had been in charge of Jin Fuxuan in Huiyue City for a long time, and naturally knew the situation of the nearby aristocratic families and sects very well. He casually pointed out the most threatening opponent in the cave treasure hunt.
"This Nalan Xue is the most dazzling genius of the Thousand Fantasy Sect in the past hundred years. He has already cultivated to the perfection of the Dan Formation Realm at the age of twenty-two. He has practiced the Thousand Machine Illusion Realm to the level of hundreds of generations. He is the leader of hundreds of Qianhuan Sect. The only disciple who has the hope of cultivating to the thousand-life level in recent years."
"And Lin Dong, as the legitimate son of the Lin family, the top family in Huiyue City, he has been deeply loved by the ancestors of the Lin family since he was a child. He was personally taught by this strong man who has transcended the tribulation realm. He is also very powerful. He is twenty-three years old this year. I have also cultivated to the perfection of the Dan Formation Realm.”
"Qian Huan Sect and Lin Family have also sent their elders with the strength of the Transformation Infant Realm to escort these two rising stars. Moreover, these are only the forces that openly declare that they will participate in this cave treasure hunt. There must be others secretly. Sect families and even powerful casual cultivators went to fight for it, so our operation this time was not easy."
Ruolan's words gave Li Mu a new understanding of the strength of the younger generation near Huiyue City. During this period, his cultivation and combat effectiveness have improved by leaps and bounds. He couldn't help but feel a little complacent, but after hearing that these truly top young talents have already After entering the consummation level of the Dan Formation Realm, I suddenly felt the gap.
"Nalan Xue and Lin Dong are so talented, but they are still inferior to Sister Ruolan. It seems that the title of the number one young person in Huiyue City must belong to Sister Ruolan. "
Hearing Li Mu's praise, Ruolan gave him a "little naughty" look, but she felt quite satisfied. Although she had been busy with Jin Fuxuan's affairs over the years, her cultivation had never fallen behind, and she was steadily suppressing Nalan Xue and Lin Dong.
Knowing the gap in cultivation, Li Mu is still full of confidence. He is not yet nineteen years old, and is more than three years younger than Ruolan. With the help of the simulation system and his own efforts, he is confident that he can catch up. Go above and beyond these top geniuses.
Resurrected from the dead, traveled back through time, and was lucky enough to obtain a simulation system, and finally began to truly cultivate immortality. Along the way, Li Mu never lost his confidence that he would eventually reach the top, and for him, this brand new world, There was already too much that he couldn't bear to let go of. Compared with the isolation and loneliness in his previous life, this fairyland brought Li Mu countless warmth and touch.
Perhaps, this is my true destination.
These are the words that have been lingering in Li Mu's mind. People are emotional animals. If Li Mu was still thinking about how to go back at the beginning of time travel, now, he is more willing to live in this warm fairyland.
Unknowingly, the group had been walking in the mountains for about three hours.
This place is full of high mountains and deep valleys, with lonely people and heavy forests. The path is rugged and winding. Soon the path reaches the end, and a primitive small mountain village appears in front of everyone's eyes.
"I didn't expect that there would be a mountain village in this deep mountain, but this should be the last place where people will live. Even the mountain road only ends here."
Now that they had a place to stay, Ruolan did not let everyone continue on their way. Instead, she and Uncle Fu led everyone into the small village, intending to ask the locals in the village about the route across the Snowy Mountains.
This is already at the foot of Xuewu Mountain. If you look to the north with the naked eye, you can see the highest mountain peak reaching into the sky. Both sides are steep cliffs, rolling and rolling, with layers upon layers of mountains. Looking up from the mountainside, Even in the vast expanse of white, I couldn’t tell whether it was snow or white clouds.
This Baiwu Mountain is indeed as its name suggests, with clouds and mist shrouded in distinct layers. Wisps of green smoke and mist begin to appear just short of the mountainside. The higher you go up the mountain, the white clouds become even thicker, covering the entire mountain. Surrounded by peaks, white mountains and forests, people can’t help but marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
According to the information already known, the insect controller's cave is located on the other side of the Snow Mist Mountain. Therefore, if you want to reach your destination, climbing over this mountain is an inevitable choice. However, no one knows the specific route. Only the Eight Immortals can cross the sea and show their magical powers.
The village is very small, with only three families living in it. All of them are common people who make a living by hunting in the mountains all year round. Over time, a small village was built here. At this time, the men in the family are still in the mountains. Only a few women and two or three half-year-old babies remained in the village.
"You want to climb the snowy and foggy mountain? How can this be done? People who climb such a high mountain will not freeze to death."
Ruolan found a woman in the village, but learned that they only lived at the foot of Xuewu Mountain. According to the woman, some people did go to Xuewu Mountain to pick herbs in the early years, but these old people were long gone. .
In recent years, with the establishment of the empire's trade routes, people in this small mountain village have gradually become accustomed to going out to make a living. Most of those who stay in the village mainly hunt, and no one is willing to risk their lives to go up the mountain to collect medicine.
Originally, Ruolan thought that it would be best to find a guide to take everyone over the Snowy Mountain. Teams from other forces generally set off a few days ago, and they may have already climbed up to the Snowy Mountain. Although It is not certain that he will be able to take the lead in treasure hunting in the cave as promised, but Ruolan still hopes to speed up the pace so that he can have sufficient preparation time when the cave is born.
"Crossing mountains and countercurrents, crossing mountains and countercurrents... Could it be that this is the Snowy Mist Mountain you're talking about?"
Just when Ruolan was regretting that she could not find a guide, Li Mu suddenly remembered the divination given to him by the mysterious fortune teller, the first sentence of which was "going through the mountains and going against the current".
"Is the only way to go through this snowy and foggy mountain going up the mountain? Is there a way to pass through the mountain? For example, a tunnel or something like that?"
Li Mu's sudden question made Ruolan and Uncle Fu, who had been negotiating with the woman, stunned. Hua Aotian, who was sitting next to him, scoffed directly, his face full of "Idiot, you can ask such a question." " expression.
"You put it like that, when I was a child, I did hear the old people in the village say that there is a secret tunnel under the Xuewu Mountain, and the river passes through the mountain through this tunnel. At that time, I also heard that some people actually rode bamboo rafts upstream to the other side of the mountain. , I remember the location should not be far from here."
But what everyone didn't expect was that this woman really proved that there was a way to climb over the mountain without going up. Li Mu's words became a lesson, which made Hua Aotian, who still wanted to talk to Li Mu, sigh. Holding it in my stomach is worse than anything else.
"Great, in this case, we will most likely arrive at the cave earlier than other forces. By the way, Li Mu, how did you know there would be a tunnel?"
The discovery of the tunnel under the mountain made Ruolan happy. Her delicate and pretty face showed a breathtaking smile, which made Li Mudu dizzy, not to mention Hua Aotian, who felt like his nosebleeds were about to flow out.
"Haha, Sister Ruolan, coincidence, coincidence, I just had an idea and thought of this. I didn't expect that there really is such a tunnel."
Naturally, Li Mu would not tell the story of the experienced fortune teller, but just casually talked about it. Ruolan, who was ice-snow and smart, naturally did not ask further questions. Since the problem of climbing over the mountain was solved, everyone did not stop to ask the woman. After getting the general direction of the tunnel entrance, we set off on the road again.
