Chapter 56: Dusk without Sun
"Go!"
Yu Cang quickly turned around, picked up the injured man, and fled towards the foot of the mountain.
That's an avalanche!
Although theoretically speaking, when encountering an avalanche, one cannot escape downwards, but should hide to the sides, the two are now in a very bad position.
We were right on the hillside, with no strong shelters around us. Furthermore, the avalanche was extremely large, with no blind spots in any direction, making it impossible to escape!
He could only run downwards. Perhaps, with the Soul Card Master's physical fitness, he could still have a chance of survival.
Yu Cang had only run a few steps when he suddenly felt a lightness on his back. It was Gu Jieshuang who came over and picked up the injured person behind him with one hand.
"I'll do it."
Looking at Gu Jieshuang who was walking briskly while carrying a person as if he was carrying a plastic bag, Yu Cang's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
But now is not the time to be surprised. Yu Cang was about to take the opportunity to increase his speed, but suddenly he felt his feet lighten.
When he turned around again, he found that Gu Jieshuang had lifted himself up with his other hand!
Damn, this...
However, his treatment was slightly better than that of the injured person. After being picked up, Gu Jieshuang gently threw himself inward and was clamped sideways under the armpit, while the injured person could only be held in his hands.
"hold me."
Gu Jieshuang's face was calm and she moved very quickly. While she was walking, a soul card shadow suddenly opened in front of her. She passed through it without hesitation, and then her speed suddenly increased.
Cold frost attack!
Click!
A path made of ice and frost spread under his feet, and Gu Jieshuang's speed reached its limit in an instant!
The cold wind blew in his face, and the speed of the wind made Yu Cang's blood flow faster. He could only hold Gu Jieshuang's waist to prevent himself from being thrown off.
Although Gu Jieshuang's speed was very fast, it was still not enough in the face of a celestial phenomenon like an avalanche. Moreover, Gu Jieshuang's soul had a limited recovery speed, so it didn't take long before he was caught up by the wave of ice and snow behind him.
The speed of the avalanche would only get faster and faster, and they were still far away from the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the two were about to be swallowed by the avalanche, Yu Cang hurriedly threw out a soul card.
The dragon that has not yet been born!
“Ouch!”
The card's shadow shattered in mid-air, and then a... slightly immature figure appeared in the air.
This... is probably a dragon.
It has a dragon's head, dragon's limbs, and a pair of slightly tender fleshy wings. It really looks like a baby dragon, but... the rest of its body is still covered with eggshells engraved with scales!
This is a dragon that has not yet fully emerged from its eggshell.
…
Soul Card Name: Unborn Dragon
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Epic
Attributes: None or Light or Dark
Race: Dragon
ability:
[Unborn]: When this card is Normal Summoned, it is treated as a Normal card.
[Use Scales]: The unborn dragon can manipulate the dragon scales on the field to fight. At this time, the dragon scales are treated as equipment cards. When there are enough dragon scales, they can be used to evolve.
…
"Unborn" is worthy of the name.
Cough...
The avalanche rolled past, and at the last moment, the unborn dragon grabbed Gu Jieshuang's back and flew into the sky with the three of them.
The unborn dragon flapped its wings very hard, and its eyes were squeezed together due to excessive effort. Obviously, it was too difficult for it to bear such a weight.
Gu Jieshuang looked up and knew that it couldn't last long.
But the avalanche under my feet showed no sign of stopping.
"There's a huge rock over there. Can you fly there?"
"Sure." Yu Cang controlled the Unborn Dragon to fly with all his might. "Damn it, I must make a flying soul card next time!"
Beat, beat.
The unborn dragon had just flown above the boulder when it suddenly ran out of strength. The three people and the beast fell rapidly. Fortunately, Gu Jieshuang summoned a gust of cold wind from the soul card, which slowed down the landing speed and prevented them from getting injured.
This huge rock was three or four stories high, standing tall above the ground. When the wind and snow waves passed by here, they would be instantly split and slid to the two sides. But the snow was so fast and so fierce that in just a short while, the snow waves were already covering it from both sides. It was estimated that it would not be long before the rock was submerged.
"Frost White Sword—Ice-piercing to the bone!"
Gu Jieshuang shot out two more soul cards, and wherever the sword passed, ice spread, trying to stop the overflowing snow waves.
With the help of the huge rocks, it was no problem for Gu Jieshuang to use the solid ice to block the snow, which had weakened a lot.
"Fortunately, I can hold on..." Gu Jieshuang breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, we just need to wait until the snow stops and then we can find a way to leave."
But Yu Cang's expression did not relax, but became more serious: "I'm afraid... it's difficult."
"What's wrong?"
"Look at the sky..."
"Hmm?" Gu Jieshuang looked up, but didn't find anything unusual.
The sky was normal and there was no danger. The sunset glow spread across the entire field of vision. If we were not fighting an avalanche, the scenery would have been absolutely beautiful.
"This is normal, what did you find?" Gu Jieshuang didn't think Yu Cang would just say it casually.
"...It's only mid-afternoon, a little after four. Even if it's autumn and the days are getting shorter, it shouldn't be dusk at this time!" Yu Cang frowned, as if thinking of something bad. "Besides, instead of saying dusk, it's better to say... Can you find the direction of the sun?"
"The sun? Isn't it right there..." Gu Jieshuang looked towards the west, but was suddenly stunned.
There is nothing in the western sky!
At this time, Gu Jieshuang discovered that the glow in the sky was not spreading from the west to the entire sky like usual at dusk, but the entire sky was filled with glow, and the source could not be identified at all!
"No sun...what does this mean?" Gu Jieshuang was confused.
"There is no sun or moon, no distinction between morning and night..." Yu Cang's tone became increasingly grave. "Do you know what the next sentence is?"
"What?"
"Don't argue about life or death!" Yu Cang looked into the distance, his fists clenched together. "This kind of sky is the death of a true dragon! Jie Shuang, this avalanche... I'm afraid it's just an appetizer."
…
"Dragon's Breath: Fire!"
Qin Yueran flipped open a purple soul card, and suddenly, the pupils and mouths of the three dragon beasts surrounding him flashed with fire. In the blink of an eye, three torrents of flames spurted out at the same time. In an instant, the wind and snow around them disappeared, countless strange rocks were pushed down by the waves of fire, and the dancing sparks reflected a large empty area.
"It's done." Qin Yueran saw the way to the outside world from the gap in his breath. Just as he was about to go out, he saw a blizzard sweeping in, blocking the road again.
After he walked past there by feeling, he found that he was back to the same place.
"Damn it." Qin Yueran clenched his fists.
"As expected of someone from the Ancient Capital Battle Academy, you're truly remarkable." Yu Ruyi's voice echoed through the snowstorm. "If I were alone today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of you. Unfortunately, I'm not alone here."
Swish!
In the wind and snow, several blurry figures emerged and surrounded Qin Yueran.
These are all summoned beasts summoned by soul cards. Judging from the number, it is obvious that Yu Ruyi cannot summon them all by himself.
"...What's going on with the sky outside?" Qin Yueran's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
At that moment, he clearly saw that the sky outside... turned into dusk.
