After shouting twice, I saw a snowdrift not far away beginning to loosen. The next second, the flower fox jumped out of the snowdrift and rushed towards us.
After confirming that no one was in harm's way, I felt relieved and started looking for others.
To my surprise, the other people were not far away from us, and soon the group reunited.
Liu Mengmeng and Cao Feng looked at the white snow in front of them with extremely shocked expressions, as if they had not yet figured out how they ended up in this place.
Xiao Lei, Xiao Li and Xiao Mei seemed to be used to this, especially Xiao Lei, who shouted excitedly.
"We're back, we're back!"
"Xiaoya is not far from here, come with me!"
After saying that, he stepped on the thick snow and ran towards the west.
We saw this and followed closely. After a while, we saw a small yellow-brown wooden house standing not far away, which looked particularly eye-catching in the snow-white world.
"Xiaoya, we are here to rescue you!"
Xiao Lei shouted happily and rushed into the wooden house. Lonnie, Bai Ze and I looked at each other and followed suit.
Just when we saw the scene in the house, we couldn't help but be stunned.
The wooden house is empty. Where is the trace of a girl?
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lei went crazy with anxiety and searched everywhere in the wooden house, trying to find any trace of Xiao Ya.
After searching for a while, there was really no clue, so he ran outside the wooden house and called Xiaoya's name loudly.
There was silence in the wilderness, and the only response to him was the howling north wind.
"Xiaoya, I'm late!"
Unable to hold back the grief in his heart, Xiao Lei fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, beating his chest and feet.
"I shouldn't have left you here by yourself, I'm sorry for you!"
Seeing him crying so heartbrokenly, Xiaomei stepped forward and comforted him softly.
"Xiaolei, don't worry, Xiaoya has her own destiny, maybe she has found a safe place now."
Xiao Lei wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, still sobbing.
"Safe, do you think it's possible?"
"Xiaoya already has a high fever and can't move. Where can she find a safe place by herself?"
"It must have been a nearby wild beast that ran into the cabin and took her away!"
Xiao Lei was in pain and couldn't extricate himself. Liu Mengmeng and Cao Feng had obviously never seen this kind of situation before, and they were at a loss for a while.
In this way, the burden of solving this dilemma falls on our shoulders again.
This place is completely covered with ice and snow, and there is nothing identifiable anywhere as far as the eye can see. Even Lonnie and Bai Ze can't figure out where we are now.
After pondering for a few seconds, I planned to call the Earth Immortal out first to understand the situation.
So, I drew a talisman on the snow, poked the ground with King Wu's whip continuously, and called the Earth Immortal in the usual way.
However, this time the result was unsatisfactory. I shouted so hard that my throat almost smoked out, but I didn’t even see the shadow of the Earth Immortal.
This is strange. I am now a minister of the inner five halls, and my status is actually higher than that of ordinary earth immortals. Under normal circumstances, after receiving my summons, the earth immortals would not dare not show up.
But now, the Earth Immortal here seems to be sleeping underground and has never given me any response.
I became more and more puzzled, this place was indeed too weird.
I can't summon the Earth Immortal, and I can't tell the direction. Now even I don't know what to do.
"Xiao Chengzi, those three students are the ones who know the situation best here. I think we should start with them. Maybe we can get some clues."
At this time, Lonnie came over and suggested to me.
Yes, I slapped my forehead. The person who tied the bell must be untied. Those three people spent two days and two nights here. They must know something that we don't know. We should come to them and ask them clearly!
So, I walked up to Xiao Lei and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself here. Xiaoya may be fine. If my estimate is correct, she should still be alive."
Xiao Lei immediately raised his head and glanced at me in surprise.
"you sure?"
I nodded: "This place is rather weird. There are no paw prints of wild beasts on the ground, and there are no forests or caves within dozens of miles, so there should be no wild beasts here."
"Xiaoya left the cabin probably for other reasons, but overall, there is a high chance that she is still alive."
After listening to my analysis, Xiao Lei suddenly became excited again and kept thanking me.
"Sir, I have long seen that you are not an ordinary person. Please help me find Xiaoya!"
I smiled: "It's not difficult to find someone to help you, but I want to ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."
Xiao Lei nodded quickly: "Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything!"
"It's very simple. I want to know what happened to the four of you that night after you came to this wooden house?"
I looked at Xiao Lei and asked.
"Well, Xiao Li knows more about this. Let him tell you..."
Xiao Li pondered for a while, and then began to tell us what happened after they came here.
It turned out that after a thunderstorm occurred on the top of the mountain that day, several people were brought to this world of ice and snow just like what we experienced today, and they quickly found the wooden house to take shelter from the cold.
That night, the four of them stayed in the wooden house, preparing to take a rest before looking for a way out the next morning.
In order to avoid attacks by wild beasts, the four people discussed taking turns to be on duty, leaving one person on duty outside and the other three sleeping in the wooden house. The guard changed every three hours.
This way everyone only has to do one shift and can sleep the rest of the time.
Nothing happened to the first two people on duty. Xiao Li was the third person on duty. When it was his turn to be on duty, it was already midnight.
However, because the surrounding area is covered with ice and snow, it is still like daylight outside the wooden house. Once a wild animal appears, it can be spotted from a long distance.
This wooden house is made of iron birch and is extremely solid. Once a wild animal is discovered, you can just hide in the wooden house and lock the door to ensure safety.
Xiao Li walked around outside and found nothing unusual, but the temperature was too low in the middle of the night. He couldn't bear the cold anymore, so he planned to go back to the house to warm up for a while.
However, when he walked into the wooden house, he discovered a strange scene.
"At that time, I saw four people lying on the bed in the wooden house!"
Recalling the scene at that time, Xiao Li was still a little frightened and couldn't even speak clearly.
four people?
Hearing this, I was also a little puzzled.
There are four of them in total. Xiao Li is on duty outside. There should be three people left in the wooden house. How come there are four people?
"Could it be that you're showing off?"
"impossible."
Xiao Li shook his head: "Although the light in the wooden house was a little dim, I can be sure that I definitely saw four people at that time!"
