"Hmm, his skills are still not good enough. If Zhang Qiling had the power of the Outer Realm, who would dare to scheme against him? There would be no need for any messy things; he could just push his way through and be done with it." Cao Ya sighed inwardly, having the idea of teaching Zhang Qiling his skills.
"Given Zhang's background, it should be easy for him to get started, right?"
But why would you pass on your skills for no reason?
Cao Ya, from a different world, has a somewhat different personality.
If it were Cao Ya from the world of "Global Martial Arts," he might have passed on the technique on the spot.
"Well, let's talk about it later." Cao Ya shook his head.
When Shunzi heard that everyone wanted to go further up, he sighed and shook his head, saying that if they went any further, they couldn't ride horses anymore and would have to use horse-drawn sleds. In fact, winter in Changbai Mountain is the most convenient place for transportation. Except in blizzard weather, horse-drawn sleds can usually reach any place that horses can go.
But once the wind blows, everything must be done according to Shunzi's wishes. If he says he'll come back, he'll come back, and there can be no objection.
Cao Ya didn't care; he wasn't afraid of anything anyway.
The others nodded in agreement, unloaded their luggage from their horses and placed it on the plow. Once everything was ready, Shunzi shouted and cracked his whip to lead the way, while the remaining horses followed automatically. The group galloped across the snow.
Cao Ya was still sitting by the plow, with Zhang Qiling on the other side.
Everyone else was freezing.
The plowing was quite fun, but the others were so cold from the strong wind that they seemed to lose all feeling. Once the novelty wore off, they quickly became numb.
Cao Ya, on the other hand, found it all very interesting, looking around curiously as if she had rediscovered her childlike innocence.
It's only because he's confident that he has the confidence; otherwise, it would be a miracle if he were in the mood while his body was frozen stiff.
Because it was a mountain road, the horse was unsteady on its feet, and the fat man was too heavy. Several times he almost tipped over and fell into the snow, but each time he escaped unharmed.
If it weren't for the unbearable cold, the fat man would definitely have started bragging.
It wasn't luck; Cao Ya had secretly intervened.
They kept running until the sky turned gray, the wind picked up, the horses slowed down, and everyone had to put on goggles.
Cao Ya didn't bring it; he's never been comfortable wearing glasses, so it doesn't matter whether he has a prescription or not.
No one else was in the mood to talk, and no one even asked Cao Ya if she could handle it.
Anyway, Cao Ya's complexion was rosy, and she was in much better condition than them.
You should worry about yourself.
Cao Ya admired the snow scene, where white snowflakes were everywhere, some falling from the sky and others being blown down from the snow-capped mountains.
Everyone's bodies were stiff and they felt extremely uncomfortable. The fat man wanted to curse, but the words were frozen in his throat.
There was a mishap along the way; the snow was too deep and loose, and the horse refused to cross, so they had to dismount and walk.
Shunzi said there was an abandoned border post ahead, so the group decided to walk there.
Those horses can only be released, and hopefully they can return safely.
Shunzi said these horses know the way well and have good stamina, so there's nothing to worry about.
Cao Ya then abandoned his plan to make a move.
They're targeting a few horses. How can you go out to rob a tomb without suffering a bit?
Cao Ya would not easily make a move unless his life was in danger.
The group struggled to move through the snow, pulling their sleds. This place was a windy spot, right between two mountain ridges, where the wind was particularly strong.
Shunzi said that the border post was an hour away, but after walking for two hours, there was still no sign of it.
It turns out the sentry post was buried in snow; no wonder everyone searched for ages without finding it.
Panzi and Fatty yelled that they were cold and hungry.
Shunzi said there was another hot spring ahead, located in a hill, with a very high temperature. If they could get there, the food they brought would last them at least five or six days.
The fat man suspected that the hot spring had also been buried by snow.
Shunzi said no, because the hot spring is at a higher altitude than here, so it's generally impossible for it to be buried by snow. If such bad luck really happens, it's fate, and there's nothing that can be done.
"Are you sure?" The fat man was no longer trusting Shunzi.
Shunzi nodded emphatically: "This time it will definitely not be wrong. If you can't find it, you can deduct my wages."
"Then you'll have to wait until your next life." Wu Xie rolled his eyes.
But there was no other way but to follow the sequence.
With long faces, everyone followed Shunzi uphill. The sky grew darker and darker as they went. Shunzi pulled up a rope and had everyone tie it to their bodies because the visibility was so low that they couldn't see anyone at all. The wind was so strong that they couldn't hear each other when they shouted. The only way to keep everyone together was with this rope, otherwise they wouldn't even know when someone was missing.
With Cao Ya around, the situation Shunzi described is impossible.
However, the others were unaware of this and, for safety's sake, had no choice but to follow Shunzi's instructions.
Cao Ya refused Shunzi's offer to tie a rope.
Cao Ya's previous behavior was still fresh in everyone's mind. Everyone knew that Cao Ya was no ordinary person. Perhaps even if they were all finished, Cao Ya would still be fine. So they tried to persuade him a couple of times, but seeing that Cao Ya was determined, they didn't try to persuade him any further.
Cao Ya simply complained that the rope was tied uncomfortably.
He's not afraid of anything happening, so why doesn't he make his departure more comfortable?
He was still walking at the very back. He saw that the people in front were walking further and further away, while those at the back were falling further and further behind. Everyone's eyes seemed to be blurry, and they were swaying precariously, as if something bad was about to happen.
Cao Yawei frowned slightly, then flicked her finger, sending a few strands of energy through everyone, instantly bringing them back to their senses and making them clear-headed.
Everyone was still shaken by what had just happened, feeling it was a sign from God that nothing bad would happen this time they went into the mountains.
These were words of comfort; in reality, no one was truly confident.
Cao Ya smiled and said, "What heavens? It was clearly him who made the move."
After walking for a while, the wind grew stronger and the snow fell heavier. For the others, they could not see anything more than a meter away and could not distinguish between east, west, south, and north. The strong wind made it impossible to even lift their heads, and they had to crawl forward. If they stood up, they would be blown over.
Cao Ya watched from behind, regretting not bringing her phone. Otherwise, taking such a photo would definitely be a black mark on her history.
He was still in good condition and felt nothing, but the others were not doing well. Everyone's face was deathly pale, and Chen Pi Asi's eyes were glazed over. It seemed that the old man was about to collapse in such a harsh environment.
Shunzi, who was leading the way, was also about to faint, swaying and staggering.
In fact, the remaining people weren't much better off. They felt a numbness spreading from their limbs to their whole body. Everyone was desperately reminding themselves, but they couldn't hold on at all. With each step, their eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, drooping heavily.
At this moment, Cao Ya's expression shifted, as if he sensed something.
"Have we arrived?"
He suddenly frowned. He saw that the people in front of him were rolling around like gourds. The snow under their feet collapsed, and they were all pulled into the snow by the ropes, rolling around and around until they stopped.
Since there was no danger to his life, Cao Ya did not take action.
Cao Ya took a step forward, covering a distance of over a hundred meters, and arrived at the hillside where everyone had rolled down, looking down at the spot.
The rocky slope was steep, and the group stopped about five or six meters from the bottom. The rope was attached to a rock corner, otherwise they would have all rolled down.
The bottom of the slope was covered with snow and rocks that had just slid down together, and several long, thin, black claws were sticking out from the snowdrifts.
Cao Ya was deep in thought. Was that the thing that allowed the King of Dongxia to maintain his longevity?
So ugly!
