Chapter 352 Avalanche (Part 2)

On the other side, after Yun Chen rode his horse towards the snow-capped mountains, the Luojiang people of the tribe gathered in groups of three or four.

The fire had burned very close to the tribe, so close that Old Grandma and Doji could feel the burning temperature on their faces as they hugged each other tightly.

People stood on tiptoe anxiously and looked towards the snow-capped mountains.

Soon, the snow mountain collapsed.

Because they were too far away, people could not hear any sound, as if someone had covered everyone's ears with their big hands. They could only see the white torrent pouring down in the dead silence.

The sheriff yelled, shoving people back into their tents.

The crowd screamed and scattered, leaving only three figures shooting out like arrows in the opposite direction of the crowd.

Huo Gannian was in front, and Ye Yan and Buyan were behind.

The three of them rode their horses recklessly in the direction of the avalanche.

The snow torrent roared and rushed over, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the three people and swallowed up the horses.

Fortunately, the snow had subsided a lot by this point, and the flood was only a few feet high.

The three men fell off their horses, quickly struggled out of the snow, continued to run forward, shouting Yun Chen's name.

But the grassland was so vast that millions of pounds of snow mixed with stones and grass buried everything deeply.

The endless whiteness made Huo Gannian feel desperate. He screamed miserably with a distorted voice, but got no response.

As time passed, the three men became more and more frustrated and began to dig holes in the snow, hoping that God would show mercy and let them have this one in ten million chance.

But no matter how hard they dug, how deep they dug, or in which direction they dug, it was all in vain.

They had no idea where Yun Chen was finally knocked down by the snow flood, or where he might have been washed to. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Under normal circumstances, if it wasn’t Yun Chen who was buried, Ye Yan and Buyan would have definitely stopped and given up digging.

Because from the time the avalanche started to now, it has been far more than a quarter of an hour.

No one can hold their breath under the snow for so long.

But because it was Yun Chen who was buried, none of the three were willing to give up.

Ye Yan and Buyan thought that even if it was a corpse, they would dig it out and take it back.

Huo Gannian fell into a state of madness. His face was paler than snow, and his dark eyes stared at everything. He ignored everything except digging at the snow until his fingers bled.

A long time passed.

When the morning glow began to illuminate the sky, giving the snowfield a cold sheen, the Luojiang people of the tribe came running over one after another, carrying snow shovels.

The avalanche stopped the fire and also crushed the tribe's tents.

Fortunately, the tribe was already on the edge of the avalanche range, and the snow flood was only one person tall, which was no problem for the tall Luojiang people.

Men, women, young and old quickly gathered together, and several people even brought their dogs with them.

Under the command of the sheriff, people dispersed and dug in sections in an orderly manner.

People dug with a force a hundred times more courageous than digging a snow ditch. After digging twice, the sheriff realized something was wrong and shouted something in Luojiang dialect. Everyone immediately threw down the snow shovels and started digging with their bare hands to prevent the sharp snow shovels from hurting Yun Chen.

Doji was also among the crowd digging snow. He dug while crying. Every time he dug an empty snow hole, he would wave hard towards the distance and look at the old grandmother who was still running towards him with a heartbroken look.

The old lady ran two steps, rested, ran two more steps, and rested again.

She was too old to withstand such a huge fire and avalanche, but she just wanted to come and see if the child whose smile was as pure as snow was still alive.

Suddenly, a dog started barking and began to scratch the snow with its claws.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then rushed to where the dog was paddling and started digging in a hurry.

Huo Gannian didn't know what was going on. He just saw everyone running towards one place, and his intuition told him to run there too.

"Chen'er..."

Huo Gan recited in a trembling voice, pushed through the crowd and rushed to the front.

A "human figure" covered in snow had been dug out. The blood on its legs where it was pierced by branches had all coagulated into bright red lumps. Its head seemed to be flattened and wrapped in a large ball of weeds and snow. It was black and its face could not be seen clearly.

The sheriff brushed off the snow on the "human figure", revealing the Nanguo boots that everyone was familiar with. They were very small, just a foot long.

No one cheered, and no one dared to touch Yun Chen's head, which looked black and flat.

Only Huo Gannian could move forward with his weak limbs by taking one deep step and one shallow step, rolling and crawling, and supporting each other with Ye Yan and Buyan.

Huo Gannian knelt beside Yun Chen, his chest heaving violently, and he gasped in fear as if he was suffocating.

He raised his hand with cracked fingers and gently touched Yun Chen's cold body. Then he reached out to her head with trembling hands, reached into the large, flat, black ball of snow, and touched a cold, hard object that looked like a skull.

In an instant, he felt like he was falling into an icy cave. He suddenly pulled his hand back, and his vision began to go dark and dizzy, and he almost fainted.

At this time, Doji ran over crying.

He didn't care about anything and just knocked the snow off Yun Chen's head.

A large upside-down black iron pot was revealed.

Before anyone could react, Doji sucked in a breath of cold air, shook his aching hands, and lifted the iron pot with force.

Yun Chen's fair and clean face, breathing evenly, appeared in front of everyone.
