There are only two roads connecting the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Shang Empire. One is the rugged Thirty-Seven Turns Road, and the other is the spacious Snow Dragon Crossing. But over the years, few people have chosen the latter, so you can imagine how terrifying it is.
The Xuelong Pass is located on the mountainside of Xuefeng Mountain. There is thick snow above and a deep abyss below. Walking on it is like walking on thin ice and you must be careful at all times. If you make a mistake, you will be in trouble!
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were tied with safety ropes and walked along the inner side of the mountainside, moving very quickly. Staying in such a place for one more second would increase the danger. However, Xia Xiao rubbed his eyes and was very sensitive. He immediately raised his arm to make Shu Shuang stop.
“This place is disconnected.”
As soon as Xia Xiao's palm touched the ground, the snow in front of him fell down immediately, revealing a gap. Under the gap, trees were like bean sprouts. Shu Shuang saw this and her face turned cold. If they had continued to walk, the unknown place below would have become their grave.
"How far is it?"
"It's right in front of us. We have to go around a bend! There are broken rocks over there, and the ice grass grows inside."
Shu Shuang spoke in a very low voice, fearing that it might cause an avalanche.
Xia Xiao estimated that the distance of ten meters was not far, but he didn't know whether the place where the ground fell was rock or snow.
Looking at the gap where snow was still falling at his feet, Xia Xiao pulled out the bayonet on his leg and threw it over.
The bayonet stabbed the ground with a clang. After waiting for two seconds, Xia Xiao untied the safety rope.
"Let's jump over."
Taking a few steps back, Xia Xiao took a running start and landed lightly next to the bayonet.
Turning around, Shu Shuang was clenching her fists to encourage herself, then she took a few steps, stretched out her long legs, and jumped over.
good!
Xia Xiao supported Shu Shuang and felt that she was more and more brave.
Shu Shuang was still in shock, Xia Xiao tied the safety rope again and grabbed her wrist. Shu Shuang was actually quite scared, she had never seen any danger when she followed the First Church, because any danger was not worth mentioning in front of strength, but it was different now.
Her heartbeat couldn't return to normal for a long time. In fact, Xia Xiao was the same. He knew that this was more dangerous than fighting.
In the face of nature, except for the absolutely strong, there is no way to protect oneself. He even wanted to wait until the avalanche before taking action. There was too much snow on the snow peak, but after the avalanche, it would take at least ten days or half a month to find a way out, so this was the only way!
After turning a corner, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang finally saw a lot of gravel. They were scattered everywhere, but there was no light of spiritual medicine in them because they were covered with a thick layer of snow.
When Xia Xiao frowned, Shu Shuang had already started to dig the snow with his hands.
"The ice grass is right down there. Look for it. There must be some."
After nodding, Xia Xiao also started to act. Because they were afraid that the elixir would be damaged, they could only use their hands. Mother's time was running out, and she had to find the elixir and bring it back!
But after working so hard for so long, I didn't even see a single blade of grass, let alone a magical herb. Damn it! It grows in such a remote place, and it has to be hidden. I'm really afraid that someone will find it!
Shu Shuang's cold hands trembled as she tucked them into her clothes.
"That's not right. I clearly saw it the last time I passed by."
Could it be that it has been too long since now? Shu Shuang was a little anxious, but when she looked at Xia Xiao, she saw that the latter was still looking and had no intention of stopping.
The gravel cut his palm and the cold penetrated into his bones, but Xia Xiao gritted his teeth and was as stubborn as a bull.
Why haven't they come yet? Xia Xiao also began to get anxious. He was more anxious than Shu Shuang, and he was extremely anxious. Even if they set out before dawn, it would be 9:00 pm when they arrived at the Snow Dragon Pass. If they delayed any longer, the wild beasts would probably appear. Fighting in a place like this, even if they escaped the avalanche, they couldn't escape the wild beasts. They couldn't fly.
He looked back at Shu Shuang, who had already turned over more snow than him.
Suddenly, a light blue light appeared in Shu Shuang's eyes and a smile appeared on her face.
“Found it!”
Joyfully holding up a piece of light blue grass, it sparkled and shone in the sun and snow, as beautiful as crystal.
Taking out the box from the backpack, Xia Xiao felt relieved. After putting it away, Xia Xiao asked Shu Shuang.
“Is one enough?”
Shu Shuang put her little hands in front of her mouth and blew air continuously, then looked at many places that had not been searched before, and immediately bent down without hesitation.
"Find another one."
Xia Xiao nodded, and his vitality surged into his eyes, making it easier to find. The spiritual medicine under the snow was extremely hidden, but there were also some fluctuations in vitality.
After only a quarter of an hour, Xia Xiao finally pulled up a piece of ice grass and turned his head at the same time as Shu Shuang.
They looked at each other, with joy in their eyes.
When handing over the elixir, Shu Shuang's hands were already frozen purple, and the bloody scars on them made Xia Xiao feel a little uncomfortable. After this, he had to thank Shu Shuang very much, because for her mother, she was trying her best to help him.
Seeing Shu Shuang hiding her hands behind her back to prevent him from seeing them, Xia Xiao immediately developed a favorable impression of her. But the most urgent task now was to leave here!
Buckling themselves up with the safety ropes again, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked towards the mountain road with their red faces frozen, and walked faster than before.
As long as they get the spiritual medicine, the purpose of their trip will be achieved. The next thing to do is to return to Longgang alive!
A road that has been walked once is more familiar. But walking in the ice and snow is difficult, and no matter how fast they go, they can only walk fast.
Snowflakes kept falling from above their heads, getting into their necks and making them shiver. When they were returning along the same route, they saw an army of a hundred men gathered in the forest beside the snowy peak.
Wang Ji, the leader, was wearing armor. He knew that Xia Xiao was a cultivator, so he did not dare to neglect him.
"At this speed, they will be able to get down the mountain in another half an hour."
The soldier looked at Wang Ji, as if to remind him, but the latter raised a crossbow and spoke in a very cold tone.
"No! He can't get down anymore!"
A gust of wind blew up around Wang Ji's body, and the soldiers immediately scattered.
The energy released from the body rolls up the snowflakes on the ground and makes them surround the body. Ordinary **** is of good quality and will gradually break after being filled with energy.
Aiming at the snow on the mountain peak, Wang Ji bent his fingers and pulled the trigger.
Bang--
The crossbow suddenly broke apart, scattering the snowflakes around Wang Ji. Then, in an instant, the leaves in the forest were torn apart, and the snowflakes were blown up, like a newly fallen heavy snow.
Above the snowflakes, the arrow broke through the wind, like an eagle, and flew straight up towards the snow on the snowy peaks. Following the arrow, a flock of birds in the forest were frightened and flew up in all directions, causing a noise.
call out--
The sharp sound attracted Xia Xiao's attention, and then he saw a group of birds screaming in the forest, and he felt uneasy!
The people from Heitai City finally took action, they had to be quick!
"Shu Shuang, hurry!"
Xia Xiao jumped over the gap in the road and waited for Shu Shuang with open arms. The latter jumped over in a hurry and he sped up again, but the movement above his head was frightening.
When the sound of the arrow breaking through the wind disappeared, a rumbling sound was heard that shook the mountain road, like rolling thunder.
Buckled up with safety ropes, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's bodies swayed, and when they looked up at the sky, the avalanche was approaching. At this distance, there was no way to avoid it!
