Chapter 150: Total Despair
Everyone divided the work and started searching around the valley. Even the Chen family guards and servants started digging the snow with their hands, as if they wanted to find Chen Xue in this way.
"No knives!"
Some yamen runners didn't want to dig with their hands because the snow was too cold. As soon as they took out their knives, they were stopped by Xu Tian.
Xu Tian glared at them, "What if Master Chen is hurt?"
They had no choice but to give up using the knife and dig with their hands. However, after digging for a while, they couldn't stand it anymore.
The valley seemed very large, but when hundreds of people rushed there, it was still very small. With everyone working together, they searched almost the entire valley but could not find Lord Chen and his family.
"Master Chen!"
Someone couldn't help but shout.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
"not good!"
Xu Tian's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he shouted, "Get out of here!"
Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they ran away. Although they were far away, they could still feel the horror of the avalanche, so they dared not stay.
Fortunately, they were lucky.
There was no avalanche, just some snow sliding down the slope.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the valley, still feeling a little scared.
Some people couldn't help but ask, "We've been searching for so long, and we can't even see a single earthworm. Do we really need to keep going?"
Those who originally had confidence in Chen Xue also began to waver. Although they did not dig three feet into the ground, they searched all around but could not find her at all.
"The snow is so thick, Lord Chen and the others must be deeper in the snow."
Zhao Guang was digging the snow frantically, and it was unclear whether he was talking to himself or to others.
"But..." Converse couldn't help but frown. "With such a large area of snow, if we dig three feet deep, how long will it take? We can't stay here forever. We've already wasted a lot of time. If we don't go to Nanman, it will be too late."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately agreed with them, and many yamen runners also agreed with Kuang Wei's words. After all, they would be the first to be punished for delaying the time.
There were also prisoners who were not fond of Chen Xue's family and they agreed with Converse's words. They were still frightened by the avalanche. After all, they almost followed in the footsteps of the Chen family.
Although they were unwilling to accept that Chen Xue was a fairy, they had to admit that Chen Xue was indeed very powerful and had magical means.
But she also suffered under the power of heaven and earth, let alone herself.
So, they didn't want to stay here any longer, because who knew if the avalanche would happen again.
"You can see it, this avalanche can happen once, and it can happen a second time. If we continue to stay here, maybe..."
When these words were spoken, many people's hearts trembled.
Although they were grateful to Chen Xue's family, they could not afford to sacrifice their own lives.
So, for a moment they were a little shaken. What's more, they had looked for Chen Xue's family but couldn't find them at all.
Maybe, as others said, Chen Xue and her family might be buried in several meters of snow, and it would be impossible for them to find them.
"Xu Tian!"
Converse looked at Xu Tian, "Now is not the time to be willful. You are the captain and you must be responsible for everyone's lives!"
Originally, he looked down upon Xu Tian, but who would have thought that he would actually climb over his head? Therefore, Converse was very dissatisfied in his heart.
He just thought that Xu Tian was lucky and had no qualifications to be the captain, so he never called Xu Tian captain.
Now that he had the chance to strike back at Xu Tian, how could he not seize it? "Are you going to ruin everyone's future and lives with your own selfishness?"
“That’s enough!”
Before Xu Tian could speak, Zhao Guang snorted coldly, "If you want to leave, just take your people with you."
"I won't leave until I find Master Chen."
"Then you're a deserter." Kuang Wei snorted coldly, "If the court investigates, can you bear the consequences?"
"Whether I can handle this is none of your business!" Zhao Guang curled his lips. "Anyway, I won't implicate a coward like you!"
"you--"
Converse was so angry that his eyes widened and he almost wanted to fight with Zhao Guang.
“That’s enough!”
Xu Tian's eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Let's search for another day. If we still can't find Master Chen, then..."
He sighed, "Just... hurry up!"
After he said those two words, it was as if all the strength in his body was drained away, and he went limp.
With Xu Tian's words, Kuang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to push too hard, otherwise it would backfire.
Zhang Yiquan, who was standing next to them, felt a little relieved when he heard this. He was also worried that if they continued searching, they might really be able to rescue Chen Yuan's family.
Although he felt that it was impossible for anyone to survive such a terrifying avalanche, he was still worried about Chen Xue's magical methods.
After all, Chen Xue was flying around in the snow before, who knows if she flew away at that time...
Although he did watch them being buried in the snow, the longer they stayed here, the greater the uncertainty.
Everyone went back to the valley to look for it, but because someone had shouted a few words before, the unstable snow on the hillside slid down again, forming a small avalanche.
Although it was a small avalanche, it still scared everyone.
Therefore, the number of people in the search team following Zhao Guang and others became smaller and smaller.
But Zhao Guang did not give up, and even searched with a torch at night.
After all, if the team can’t find Chen Xue and the others tomorrow, they will have to leave.
However, they did not know that there was a narrow place near their feet, at an unknown depth.
Chen Xue is buried there.
"Xiaoxue!"
In space.
After Lord Chen and the others were taken in by Chen Xue, their eyes suddenly widened and they started shouting wildly.
However, without Chen Xue's help, they had no way of getting out of the space.
"Jade Emperor, all the gods, please bless my Xiaoxue."
Chen's mother's tears streamed down her face as she knelt on the ground and begged.
Xiaodie beside her also knelt down and even kowtowed repeatedly, "God, I am willing to exchange my life for yours, please grant my wish."
But there are no gods in this world!
What Chen Xue said before about trading with the God of Wealth was just fabrication. In fact, she was just trading with the system.
However, the system only listened to Chen Xue and naturally had no response to the calls of Lord Chen and his family.
Moreover, if something happened to Chen Xue, the system would be fine. At most, it would just change the host.
In short, Lord Chen shouted for a long time, and finally had to follow Mother Chen's example and kneel on the ground to pray to the gods.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never knelt except to his parents and the emperor. This time he knelt to the gods, hoping that they could save his daughter.
However, their prayers received no response.
"Why is this happening..."
Mother Chen was a little distraught, "If Xiaoxue is gone, how am I going to live?"
"It's all my fault!" Lord Chen slapped himself a few times, blaming himself for being useless. If he were useful, Xiaoxue wouldn't have to face the terrifying avalanche instead of hiding in a comfortable space by himself.
