The extreme cold hissed and crackled. At this moment, the flower petals around Wan'er began to dwindle, and Xian'er, dragging Mo Tian along, struggled to take each step.
As her spiritual energy dispersed, her flesh and blood were eroded by the extreme cold. The skin on the soles of her feet felt like it was splitting open, yet she felt no pain. Before she knew it, a trail of bright red footprints appeared behind Wan'er...
Gradually, the distance between the two feet becomes shorter and shorter, and it takes about ten seconds from lifting one foot to putting it down.
Wan'er's lips couldn't tremble, and double images appeared before her eyes. Her body swayed slightly. Wan'er steadied herself but dared not stop. She secretly channeled her spiritual power, and the double images before her eyes gradually merged into one image.
Wan'er's neck seemed to be unable to move freely anymore. Out of the corner of her eye, she sensed the light coming from the cave entrance. Wan'er was anxious and leaned her body forward even more...
A few minutes later, a circular dark line appeared ahead, and Wan'er was overjoyed, knowing that she had seen the exit.
A red light appeared less than three meters in front of his feet; that was the exit of the extreme cold land and the entrance to the Lake of Vigilance.
Wan'er's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, Mo Tian was leaning on her left shoulder. Wan'er tightened her left arm around Mo Tian's back and whispered in his ear, "Mo Tian, just hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon..."
But now, the trail of blood behind her was growing longer, and every step Wan'er took was more difficult than the last.
There is no reason to give up at this point.
"Three meters, two and a half meters... one meter!" In any ordinary place, this distance would only be a step away, but at this moment, Wan'er felt her eyes blurring and her vision fading; she could barely walk...
"Puff puff..." Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from somewhere. In an instant, many bats suddenly appeared in front of them. However, these bats were milky white and translucent, almost the same color as the icicles on both sides.
"What is this?" Wan'er asked in surprise.
"Quick, get out!" Mo Tian blinked, suddenly snapping out of his daze. He raised his head, licked his chapped lips, and abruptly reached behind Wan'er, shoving her hard...
"Whoosh! Sizzle!" Feeling a warm force propelling her back, Wan'er's body shot out from the circular exit...
At the same time, the "poof!" sounds behind her grew louder and louder. Without having time to observe her surroundings, Wan'er quickly turned around and looked at the cave entrance. She saw that the white bats from before were flying towards the cave entrance one after another. After they were close to each other, they stopped moving and merged with the ice crystals.
Wan'er instantly understood that these white bats had come to seal off the exit from the extreme cold land...
"Mo Tian!" As the number of white bats increased, the cave entrance grew smaller and smaller. Wan'er didn't have time to think. She turned around and pounced forward, her hands reaching out to block half of her body at the entrance. Inside, Mo Tian was looking straight ahead, straining to lean forward. Their hands reached out to each other at the same time, only a few centimeters apart...
Within reach, yet worlds apart! For the first time, Wan'er and Mo Tian truly understood the meaning of these two idioms.
Wan'er, how could you be so foolish? Doing this will get you devoured by the white bats and eventually turn you into ice crystals…
Mo Tian, I won't abandon you. You promised you'd be my pet forever! Though they couldn't speak, their eyes conveyed their unspoken feelings to each other…
