Chapter 310: Snow-Searching for Insects
Night had fallen when the sled stopped.
The resting point is surrounded by open fields, with snowfields and snow-capped mountains connected.
The snow had stopped falling, and strong winds were blowing from all directions.
The man driving the sled pointed toward a narrow canyon in the middle of the snowy mountains. "Our tribe's saint said that you two distinguished guests have come from afar and should be treated with courtesy, but unfortunately, we have different positions. If you two wish to join our Qiang tribe, it will depend on your ability. Twenty miles into the canyon is the Qiang tribe. Please come in!"
After saying that, the man turned around, drove the sled away, and soon disappeared in the snowfield.
"Let's go." Tian Bao withdrew his gaze calmly and walked towards the canyon, "Let's see how difficult it is to break through the Qiang tribe."
Bai Yu followed, half-jokingly saying, "I want to see it too. If I'm not strong enough, Tianbao, please don't leave me alone and run away."
The girl raised an eyebrow and smiled, replying with one word, "Dish."
“…”
The so-called canyon is a narrow gap between two snow-capped mountains. It is narrow and long, barely wide enough for one person to walk through, and one must always be vigilant against snow and rocks falling from above.
When walking out of the canyon, Tianbao looked very unhappy and his eyes kept squinting to the side.
Bai Yu looked up at the sky with a flickering look in his eyes.
The reason was simple: the girl's clothes were too thick, and when she was passing through the canyon, she was almost sandwiched between two snow-capped mountains.
There is a cliff outside the canyon. The cliff drops vertically and there is white smoke below, making it impossible to see the bottom.
There is only a two-foot square platform at the exit, with a bamboo cable bridge extending outward to connect to the snow-capped mountains opposite.
Even if you can reach the other side safely, there is no flat road to take, and you need to go around the mountain along the narrow plank road carved out of the mountain.
The plank road has no guardrails and is close to the cliff behind, with only enough space for standing feet.
Especially now that the plank road is covered with ice and snow, if you are not careful, you will slip and fall into the abyss, which is like a natural danger.
Bai Yu raised his lips, his eyes icy, "It seems this Qiang Saint wants to win without a fight. What a good idea."
Tianbao started to peel off the brown skin, and his disgust was endless, "Don't wrap me like this in the future, everything you wrap me up with is just a burden."
Bai Yu argued, "I didn't know the Qiang Saint was so shameless."
"Why are you praising her? Did she look good?"
“…”
After taking off his burden, Tianbao went into battle lightly. He grabbed the wrist of the person next to him with one hand and flew towards the snow-capped mountains opposite.
The two snow-capped mountains were more than twenty feet apart, and the girl almost never touched the rope bridge the entire time, but even so, she couldn't prevent the accident from happening.
When he was gaining leverage halfway, he stepped lightly on the bridge pile with his toes and immediately heard a bang sound.
The cable bridge, swaying in the wind in mid-air, broke with a sound.
At that time, Tianbao had already flown over without even looking back, and was not affected by the movement behind him at all.
However, Bai Yu looked back because someone was leading him.
When the cable bridge split in two and fell down, it brought up snow foam all over the sky. The scene was spectacular and terrifying.
If he and Tianbao were weaker in lightness skills, they would have become two pools of blood and flesh at the bottom of the cliff by now.
As the broken cable bridge hit the cliff with a loud noise, hidden weapons immediately attacked from the snow-capped mountains in front, and poisonous insects flew behind them, their number as numerous as clouds and fog.
Tianbao snorted, one hand still tightly holding the wrist of the person next to him, opening the space to absorb the hidden weapon, and with the other hand, he stretched out and closed his outer shirt, and all the flying insects that rushed towards him with great momentum were wrapped in the outer shirt and caught in one net.
At the same time, the man and woman stood on the small platform at the other end of the cable bridge.
Break through.
Tianbao looked up, turned the hidden weapon that the space had just absorbed, and suddenly shot it in all directions towards the top of the snow mountain. After hearing dozens of screams, the entire snow valley became quiet again.
All that was left was the sound of the wind blowing across the cliffs, still howling wildly.
Tianbao then lowered her gaze to the young man's handsome face opposite her.
Tian Bao frowned tightly, "Who told you to run ahead of me? If you act on your own again next time, I'll throw you down!"
Someone who had just been promoted from a teenager to a young adult smiled with an extremely innocent smile, "Senior Sister can't bear it."
"I don't need you to help me block bugs and hidden weapons."
"I didn't intend to protect you from bugs or hidden weapons. I just came around to the front to help block the wind for you."
Specious arguments.
Tianbao certainly wouldn't throw him down, but it's okay to punch him.
The next moment, the young man's artificial wail echoed in the valley. Bai Yu then grasped the girl's arm, "Senior Sister, I will atone for my sins. This time, I will take you to search for insects in the snow!"
The corner of Tianbao's mouth twitched, and before he could react, he was taken off.
If there was any difference in the way the two of them carried each other, it was probably that when she carried Bai Yu, it was like she was carrying a fat rooster.
When Bai Yu carried her, it was like he was carrying a stunted chick.
A cold wind blew in Tianbao's face, and his eyes were blank and his face looked a little dull.
Night had fallen, the top of the mountain was covered with snow, and the several dead bodies lying there were visible at a glance.
Below the snow-capped mountains, lights are reflected and watchtowers are close to each other.
There is the mysterious Qiang people.
At this moment, in the largest watchtower of the Qiang people.
The firewood in the stove against the wall was burning very brightly, filling the building with warmth.
The woman, with her face covered with white gauze, was wearing a black and blue jacket and skirt with bright embroidery, with silver ornaments hanging around her neck and waist. She was sitting on a bamboo chair covered with animal skins.
Standing below were a man and a woman, both in their thirties. They were the two who had tested Tianbao in Guannei City.
"Saint, they have already reached the top of the mountain via the snow mountain rope bridge. If we don't find a way to stop them, they will soon come to kill our tribe." said the middle-aged woman standing below.
The saint's beautiful eyes, revealed from behind her veil, showed no sign of anxiety. She slowly stood up and said, "They have come to ask the Qiang people to remove the poison. If they kill them all and anger us, Su Jiuni will die with them. That's why they dare not kill them indiscriminately. We have the power in our hands, so why panic?"
She walked down the two steps of the first platform and looked through the gate towards the snow-capped mountains opposite. "But now that they're here, don't even think about leaving my Qiang tribe so easily. Ah Yin, lead them to the Hundred Killing Formation!"
The middle-aged woman named Ah Yin paled upon hearing this. "Saintess, the Hundred Killing Formation requires the sacrifice of a hundred clansmen. Do we really want to activate it? Although Su Jiuni and Bai Yu are good at martial arts, we may have other ways to defeat them. If we want to kill them, we can use other methods—"
"If they were so easy to kill, the people we sent wouldn't have to self-destruct to ambush Su Jiuni! Although the two of them have come looking for us, we still can't be sure whether Su Jiuni has been poisoned or not. Didn't the flute sound test fail last night? Apart from the Hundred Killing Formation, no other method can guarantee absolute success. Hurry!"
"……yes!"
After the middle-aged woman left, the saint turned around and walked back to the seat of honor and sat down gracefully. She lowered her eyes to look at the jade ring on her finger, and a gentle affection flashed in her eyes.
I will get rid of those who stand in your way!
