Chapter 124 The Cold Wave Has Arrived
The dark world was swallowed up by the biting cold wind and the vast white snow.
The sled moved quickly through the snow.
The three sled dogs let out wild howls, as if they were feeling extremely depressed and extremely frightened.
In an instant, the sky was shrouded in darkness, with snow pouring down all over the sky. Visibility became extremely poor, and the chassis of the sled cut through the snow, breaking through the strong wind head-on, leaving a terrible echo in the ears.
Grey stood on the driving platform at the rear of the sled, her hands on the steering stick to control the direction. The reins extending from the stick were connected to the chest straps of the Alaskan, Husky, and Samoyed. Their three speeding silhouettes became extremely blurred in the dark blizzard.
"Yeats, I can't see the direction!" Gray shouted nervously.
"Calm down, don't let go!" Ye Zhi sat on the sled chair at the front of the sled near the dog team. With his eagle eye he could see through the snow and wind and shouted, "Go to the left, then go right after you get down the slope!"
Gray tried to steady the bumpy sled, but the sky grew darker and the snow grew heavier, and even Yeats could not see what was ahead.
"Snowstorm!" Gray's voice was almost drowned out by the strong wind.
There was a loud rumble, like thunder exploding in the sky. Ye Zhi heard the terrifying roar again. If Gray guessed correctly, it was the awakened dragon! The blizzard was like an angry beast, swallowing up the two people's sight. The sled was shaking in the blizzard. Ye Zhi shouted, "Gray, there is a back slope over there, go and take shelter!"
"I'm trying!" Gray gritted her teeth and desperately drove the sled to change direction. At this moment, the hillside rumbled loudly, and the deafening roar was like the wrath of a snow-capped mountain. The vibration with destructive power quickly spread in all directions.
avalanche!
Ye Zhi's pupils contracted and he shouted, "Go to the cave over there!"
"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky!" Gray cried.
A huge white wave rolled down the hillside with tremendous power, and the threat of death enveloped the three sled dogs, Yeats and Grey. At this moment, the three idiots ran at an astonishing speed, and almost at the moment when they were about to be swallowed by the avalanche, they dragged the sled to the entrance of the cave.
The sled barely avoided the main avalanche, but the violent vibration almost threw Gray out.
Ye Zhi's face changed, and before Gray was about to be swallowed by the white death-like wave, he condensed the Wild Hunt Chain in his palm.
Click!
The chain wrapped around Gray's waist and dragged her in front of Yeats.
The two of them pressed their bodies together in the narrow cave entrance, their chests rising and falling, their rapid breathing falling into each other's ears.
Gray leaned her head on Ye Zhi's shoulder, still in shock: "I thought I was going to die--"
Boom! Boom! The avalanche was like a series of waves. The second and third waves of avalanches hit the cave. Yeats signaled the three sled dogs to go deeper into the cave, but the three sled dogs shook their heads frantically.
From deep within the cavern, a strong smell of wild animals wafted up. Yeats identified the scent of a hibernating bear and said with a wry smile, “This is really going to kill me.”
Deep in the cave, a pair of eerie green eyes opened, and a brown bear covered with magic patterns walked out of the darkness. It exuded a three-ring aura, and it was a hibernating Rune Bear! As a Rune Bear with strong magic resistance, its strength was also enhanced by the runes on its body. It was a very difficult existence among the commander-level monsters!
Rune Bear was still half asleep and half awake. He shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Zhi and his group for a long time, then tilted his head in confusion.
Ye Zhi looked at the snow waves outside the cave, which had gradually calmed down, and laughed dryly:
"Brother Xiong, go back to sleep, we are just passing by..."
The Rune Bear gradually came to its senses, bared its fangs, and a fierce green light flashed in its eyes.
Just at this moment.
Gray suddenly roared at Rune Bear.
The Rune Bear suddenly became listless, huddled dejectedly in a corner of the cave, and took the initiative to make room for Ye Zhi and his group.
Ye Zhi looked at Gray in astonishment: "What's going on?"
Gray's face flushed and she scratched her head: "It must have mistaken me for the white dragon that awakened in the mountains."
Ye Zhi: “…”
The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might. Oh no, is that right? The Dragonborn is taking advantage of the dragon's might?
"I can confirm with a high probability that the blizzard and avalanche were caused by the awakening of the white dragon." Gray asked uncertainly, "So, Ye Zhi...what should we do now?"
Ye Zhi frowned. In order to avoid the avalanche, he had moved further away from the territory and had probably entered the Jueling Mountains.
Teacher Kendra will definitely take action to deal with the awakened Isidora...Ye Zhi thought secretly...and all Gray and I have to do is to ensure our own safety.
No one knows how long this war will last. Staying in this cave that may be affected is not a long-term solution.
In the Absolute Mountains, Yeats could be sure of a place that was not threatened by blizzards and avalanches.
That is the location of the Winter Goddess's divine realm, the Winter Temple.
Ye Zhi made up his mind and said, "When the snow stops a bit, we will rush to the Winter Temple. It will be safer there with the protection of the Winter Goddess and the guardian beast."
Gray worriedly asked, "But what if even the Winter Temple collapses?"
Yeats looked strange.
Please stop talking nonsense, Gray! At this moment, Ye Zhi felt a faint wave of magic power coming from the magic net around him, which seemed to be a short message from Kendra.
Ye Zhi opened his soul realm to receive this short message, and Kendra's worried voice rang in his mind.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Yeats, where are you now?"
"Teacher, Gray and I are now trapped in a cave in the Absolute Mountains due to an avalanche. We are going to seek refuge in the Winter Temple soon. Our lives are safe for the time being." Ye Zhi replied.
"Okay..." Kendra seemed to be relieved, "I have set up a teleportation array in the Winter Temple. I will come and join you after I get rid of the bone dragon."
"Bone dragon? The white dragon Isidora appeared in the form of a bone dragon?" Ye Zhi asked in surprise.
"It is still filled with resentment towards the Winter Goddess. Even though its body has decayed, its soul has never dissipated." Candela said coldly, "Although it was a legendary beast in its lifetime, all that remains is nothing more than a six-ring skeleton. I am here to send it off!"
* Morningfrost Ridge.
In front of the lord's mansion, Phocas looked worried as he looked at the snow-capped mountains.
Dark clouds pressed down over the mountains, and the roars of wild beasts echoed.
But not a single wild beast crossed the mountains to attack the territory, as if an invisible barrier covered the Jueling Mountains, trapping them all in the mountains.
At this moment, Yeats's voice rang in his ears.
"Fokas, I'm in the mountains now, you don't have to worry."
Fokasi was slightly startled, and then his eyes showed shock. This was the young master's short message technique! "Young master, where are you? I'll go into the mountain to save you!"
"No need! Fokasi, I can only use the short message technique a limited number of times, you don't have to take the risk!"
The sound gradually faded away, and Phocas remained silent for a while. He walked silently to the front of the stable and stared at Radish who was bending over to eat feed.
"Is there still no news about Yeats, Lord Phocas?" Hildreth walked out of the lord's mansion, wearing plate armor and holding an eagle helmet, and asked.
"I just received a text message from the young master. He said he was trapped in the Jueling Mountains, but he didn't tell me his exact location..." Fokas whispered.
Hildre's eyes flickered as he glanced towards the direction of the Jueling Mountains and said, "I can roughly guess where Ye Zhi is... I'll go find him."
Phocas hesitated as he handed the reins of Carrot to Hildreud and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Hildreud!"
Hild stroked Radish's snow-white mane and said hoarsely, "This time we are going to rescue Ye Zhi. Can you run faster..."
Luobo snorted, looked serious with a rare look, and nodded vigorously.
Hildre rode on the snow-white Roland warhorse, with a determined look in his eyes. He put on an eagle helmet, and his blood-red battle robe fluttered in the wind. "Go!"
