The north wind howled, and in the blink of an eye it was already the tenth day of escaping from the ravine.
At this moment, Bai Che, Jiu Tu and others were continuing to head towards Shuofeng Village in the far north. The wind and snow were blowing down, and Bai Che and the others were gradually withering away. They looked like they were in their twilight years.
Guan Hong is still recuperating in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion". The drunkard, Liu Yu, and Zhang Bei are not afraid of the severe cold because they took the ice fruit, and their cultivation levels have improved.
The drunkards have reached the peak of the early stage of the divine realm, while Liu Yu and Zhang Bei have entered the last level of the middle realm, that is, the realm of the venerable. Only Bai Che is still standing still, and the ice fruit has made him feel no cold. , doesn't seem to be of any use.
However, they still wear warm clothes to hide their aura and look wild.
As a residence, "Bafang Immortal Mansion" belongs to Bai Che's home. It is naturally inappropriate to use it for traveling. Moreover, if Bai Che is in "Bafang Immortal Mansion", moving "Bafang Immortal Mansion" will be extremely expensive. It's scary, Bai Che doesn't want to be sucked dry and turned into a human being.
The most important thing is that the "Snow Country" is covered with ice and snow, and there is almost no difference in the surroundings. It is difficult to distinguish the direction. It is even more difficult to distinguish if you are in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion". Therefore, the few people still plan to walk They rushed to Shuofeng Village in the form of a flying magic weapon. Of course, when the wind and snow were not heavy, they would also take the flying magic weapon.
When he arrived in the "Snow Country", Bai Che realized how important it was to own a war boat or a flying boat. Therefore, Bai Che planned to build one if there was a chance in the future and use it to travel for long periods of time. However, he had to The use of top-quality materials cannot be like tofu like those war boats in the Star Reaching Sect before. Therefore, Bai Che is not in a hurry about war boats or flying boats.
The Xuan Lei Taoist body in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion" was not idle either. Bai Che asked him to work hard to improve his cultivation while taking care of the medicine field and recording the changes of several mysterious seeds and ice fruit seeds in the medicine field.
...
After walking for nearly ten days, Bai Che was already numb. The vast snowfield made him admire how vast the wilderness was. Just in this north, it would take nearly a year to walk alone, and , their traveling speed is not slow, thousands of miles a day is nothing to mention.
I have encountered ice owls many times. They hunt prey in groups, and almost no prey can escape their encirclement. Whether it is the huge mammoth or the roaring violent polar bear, under the sharp sharpness of the ice owl, The claws and beak will be torn into pieces, leaving only the skeleton and a pool of bright red.
Several people also encountered avalanches. The reason was that the wind and snow were too strong and the snow was too thick. The mountain could not withstand the huge pressure and collapsed. At that time, Bai Che and the others happened to be walking under the mountain.
When they came back to their senses, the sky full of wind and snow mixed with boulders was already rushing towards Bai Che and the others like a torrent. Before they had time to think about it, Bai Che immediately called out the "Bafang Immortal Mansion" and hid in with a few people in embarrassment. In the fairy mansion.
Immediately, I felt a violent shaking, and the "Eight Directions Immortal Mansion" was buried in the snow. Fortunately, the "Eight Directions Immortal Mansion" was a space of its own, so even if it was buried, it would not be a big deal.
Waiting until there was no sound from the outside world, Bai Che and the others left the "Bafangxian Mansion", broke through the thick snow, and left the dangerous place covered in white snow.
Bai Che was depressed that he was buried in the snow. At that moment, he almost didn't react.
Bai Che asked: "Mr. Liu, how did you lead the way?"
Liu Yu was also a little helpless and replied: "There is no problem on the way back to the young master, but the wind and snow this year are really too heavy. This has never happened before."
Hearing this, Bai Che frowned slightly. There must be a monster if something goes wrong, but it was only his first time stepping into this place, so he didn't know what the problem was.
However, Bai Che understood that he should try to stay as far away from the mountains as possible when traveling in the future.
"How long will it take before the trial starts?" Bai Che continued to ask.
"Young Master, it is speculated that there will be more than a month left." Liu Yu replied, but there was a trace of worry on his brows. The time was too urgent, and due to the wind and snow, whether it would be possible to arrive successfully in a month. Shuofeng Village still has two theories.
Bai Che saw Liu Yu's worry and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, there is no need to worry. If I can't catch up, it means that I have no chance with that knife. I don't have to get it. I don't have to force anything. I just go to Shuofeng." Living in the village for a while will help you appreciate the scenery of Mr. Liu’s hometown.”
"Of course, if someone passes the trial, I will tell that person the method. After all, I owe that person a favor." Bai Che smiled.
Hearing Bai Che's words, Liu Yu nodded, thanked the young master, and said nothing more.
In the following days, he was still on the road, but without purpose, Bai Che thought it would be good to take his time.
...
Gradually, after walking for more than a month, looking at the dots on the map, Shuofeng Village was thousands of miles ahead. At the speed of Bai Che and the others, they could arrive in a few days.
During the rest of the month, Bai Che had a good appreciation of the scenery of the "Snow Country". Moreover, Bai Che also took away a snow fox cub. In the unusually windy and snowy weather, many animals in the "Snow Country" lost their lives. .
When Bai Che found the snow fox cub, its mother was already dead, but she still hid the cub under her body to protect it from the wind and snow. Bai Che was moved by the snow fox's love and took it away. He gave birth to a cub and raised it in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion". From then on, Xuan Lei Dao Shen had an additional task, which was to become a "shit shovel officer".
Xuan Lei cursed a lot, but the cuteness of the snow fox cub made him willing to take care of it and named it "Bai Xue".
Bai Che was a little speechless. This name... was the kind of bad name. However, Xuan Lei insisted, so Bai Che had no objection.
Bai Che and others were also attacked by ice crystal owls. It was also due to the wind and snow that a large number of animals died. The ice crystal owls could not find food, so they went crazy. Their eyes were red, and they stared at Bai Che and his group. They frantically attacked Bai Che. Several people attacked, seemingly densely packed with hundreds of them.
Bai Che and others were dumbfounded. Only fools would fight against them. They chose to run away. In the end, they hid in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion" to escape the attack of the ice owl.
Bai Che gasped for breath. If he didn't have the "Bafang Immortal Mansion", he might have died several times in this "Snow Country".
"It's really weird this year." Liu Yu frowned. When had he seen such a scene in the past? Moreover, the cold-proof clothing could not completely cover his own breath, which also made Liu Yu look suspicious. He thought hard, "Is there something wrong with the 'Sky Covering Blade'? Then, Shuofeng Village..."
Bai Che patted Liu Yu and said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry. Let's go to Shuofeng Village first. If there is a problem, we will solve it together."
Liu Yu nodded gratefully.
Guessing that the Ice Owl had flown far away, Bai Che and the others walked out of the "Bafangxian Mansion" and continued on their way to Shuofeng Village.
Soon after, a broad coniferous forest appeared in front of Bai Che and the others. The coniferous forest was dense and covered with silver.
"Young Master, out of this coniferous forest, you will reach Shuofeng Village." Liu Yu smiled.
Bai Che nodded, so they stepped into the coniferous forest. Suddenly, the wind and snow in the forest became much lighter.
After walking for most of the day, Bai Che and the others saw messy footprints on the snow. Bai Che was overjoyed that they could finally see people, but Liu Yu and Zhang Bei frowned.
Seeing this, Bai Che asked the two of them, "Is there any problem?"
Liu Yu replied: "The footprints here are undoubtedly from Shuofeng Village, but..."
After a pause, Liu Yu continued: "However, the footprints are too messy. If it were the hunting team in the village, they would never leave such messy footprints. Such footprints are more like..."
"Running for life." The drunkard said slowly.
"That's right." Liu Yu nodded, "Only escaping will make it so messy. Something might really have happened in the village, and they must be being hunted..."
Liu Yu and Zhang Bei looked very anxious. After all, Shuofeng Village was their home.
"Young Master, let's go to the village and have a look." Liu Yu said.
"Don't be anxious yet." Bai Che said to the two of them: "Nothing is certain yet. If we are really being hunted, going to the village may not help."
After a moment of silence, Bai Che pointed to the footprints and continued: "These footprints have no traces here. They should have been deliberately buried, and..."
"It's very likely that it's so messy on purpose. I think we should look in the opposite direction of the footprints." Bai Che analyzed.
"But Young Master..." Liu Yu frowned slightly and said, "If there is no one in the opposite direction..."
"So, we are divided into two groups." Bai Che said, "Old Liu, you follow me in one direction, and Old Zhang, you take Mr. Jiu in the other direction."
"Remember, the footprints are very new. They shouldn't be able to go very far. Calculate the farthest distance roughly. When you get there, if you don't meet anyone, just go back the same way." Bai Che reminded.
Bai Che's method really got the best of both worlds, so the four of them split up.
"The opposite direction of the footprints..." Liu Yu looked at the footprints and his eyes moved: "Young Master, over there is Youchun Lake."
"Visiting Chun Lake?" Bai Che was slightly startled.
"That's right." Liu Yu nodded and said, "Youchun Lake does not freeze all year round, the temperature is constant, the vegetation there is lush, and the climate is pleasant, just like spring."
Hearing this, Bai Che was stunned again. He did not expect that there would be such a magical place in such a cold wilderness in the far north. After thinking for a moment, Bai Che said, "There should be a volcano near Youchun Lake."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "As the young master said, it is precisely because of a volcano that Youchun Lake is like spring all year round. It is also the habitat of most animals. It stands to reason that a place with such a good environment, in the village People shouldn’t escape there.”
"Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest." Bai Che said with a slight smile, "Go to Youchun Lake."
