Chapter 41 Quickly Transmigrate! Strategies for the Viking Son of Fortune (Twenty-Two)
He swung the sword in his hand suddenly, pointed it at Feng Ziang, and said in a grim tone: "Either leave or die!"
The biting cold wind, wrapped in snowflakes, was like countless tiny blades cutting my face, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Feng Ziang fearlessly met Leo's hateful gaze, and said firmly: "Prince Leo, the artifact is not for revenge, it contains the power to protect peace, you can't let hatred blind your eyes!"
"shut up!"
Leo roared, and the long sword in his hand swung out a sharp cold light, "You hypocrites who claim to be righteous, what qualifications do you have to dictate my revenge!"
He suddenly pointed the tip of his sword at Feng Ziang, his eyes burning with rage, "My family was massacred, my parents died tragically in front of me. How can you understand this overwhelming hatred?!"
Feng Ziang wanted to say something else, but was gently pulled back by Zeus.
He took a step forward and looked directly into Leo's eyes. His tone was calm but firm: "Prince Leo, I believe your experience is sympathetic, but revenge will only bring more pain and killing. The artifact has great power, and it should not be dominated by hatred."
"What do you want to say?" Leo narrowed his eyes, his tone full of danger.
"I suggest that we have a fair competition."
Zeus spoke calmly, pointing to the top of a snowy mountain in the distance, "Legend has it that the temple is on the top of the mountain. Whoever gets there first will be eligible to obtain the artifact, the Moon of Honesty."
The Moon of Honesty is an ancient artifact that can bring out the secrets hidden in people's hearts and make the secrets come true. No one can lie in the illusion.
Leo was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something. He knew that it would not be easy to find the temple in the vast snowy mountains by himself. However, he might be able to use these two guys of unknown origin.
"Okay, I promise."
Leo finally nodded, with a cunning gleam in his eyes, "I hope you won't let me down." After saying that, he jumped on the horse, the black horse raised its front hooves, neighed, and then rushed into the wind and snow like an arrow.
"Let's go too." Zeus turned to look at Feng Ziang, his eyes full of worry, "This snowy mountain is full of dangers, you have to follow me closely."
Feng Ziang nodded and held Zeus's hand tightly. The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of determination and trust. They knew that what awaited them would be a journey full of challenges and dangers, but for the sake of their beliefs, they were fearless.
With the wind howling and snow flying, the two set out on the journey to the top of the snowy mountain side by side. What will be waiting for them?
The biting cold wind was like a roaring beast, tearing the snow-capped mountains madly. The goose-feather-like snow covered the sky and the sun, rendering the world a desolate place.
Feng Ziang and Zeus used their hands and feet to trudge through the waist-deep snow.
"Hold my hand!"
Zeus shouted loudly, his voice torn into pieces by the strong wind. He led the way ahead, taking one step forward and one step back, looking back from time to time to check on Feng Ziang's situation.
Feng Ziang was so cold that his face turned pale and his lips turned purple, but he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out. He held Zeus' hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength coming from his palm.
"I'm fine..." Feng Ziang forced a smile, "We can do it!"
At this moment, the strong wind suddenly intensified, forming a huge snow tornado that roared towards them.
"careful!"
Zeus held Feng Ziang in his arms and used his body to protect him from the wind and snow.
The two were thrown to the ground by the huge force and rolled several times in the snow before they came to a stop. When the wind and snow died down a little, they had lost their way. It was all white around them and they couldn't tell east, west, south, or north.
"What should we do now?" Feng Ziang's voice was trembling. He was exhausted and felt like he was about to be frozen.
Zeus looked around with a frown on his face. He knew that the situation was very dangerous. If they could not find shelter in time, they would probably be frozen to death in the vast snowy mountains.
"We must find a place to shelter from the wind as soon as possible." Zeus made a prompt decision and pointed to a protruding rock not far away. "Let's go over there and take a look!"
The two men supported each other and stumbled towards the rock.
Meanwhile, Leo was using his extensive experience in snowy mountains to quickly navigate the rugged mountain roads. He found a shortcut that would allow him to reach the top of the mountain more quickly.
However, just when he thought he had won, something unexpected happened.
"roar!"
A deafening roar came from the front, and a huge snow leopard suddenly jumped out from behind a rock, its sharp claws flashing with cold light.
Leo was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the snow leopard. The sharp claws left several deep bloody marks on his chest.
"Damn it!" Leo roared, swung the sword in his hand, and stabbed the snow leopard fiercely.
The snow leopard dodged the attack nimbly, let out an angry roar, and pounced on Leo again.
A man and a beast fought a life-and-death battle in the snow, and the blood dyed the white snow red.
Just as Leo was gradually running out of energy and about to be defeated, a faint cry for help suddenly came from afar...
The faint cry for help was almost drowned out by the biting cold wind, but Feng Ziang and Zeus still caught it sharply. They looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
On one side are potential dangers, and on the other side are competitors competing for artifacts. In this cruel world of ice and snow, any trace of kindness may lead to eternal damnation.
"We..." Feng Ziang bit his lip, conflicted within himself.
"Let's go and take a look." Zeus made a decision. He pulled Feng Ziang behind him. "Even if he is an enemy, we can't just stand by and watch him die at the critical moment of life and death."
The two men walked towards the direction of the sound with difficulty, braving the wind and snow. They saw a huge snow leopard pressing down on a figure, tearing with its sharp claws and teeth, and the blood dyed the white snow red.
"It's Prince Leo!"
Feng Ziang exclaimed. Zeus did not hesitate, drew the dagger from his waist, rushed forward, and stabbed the snow leopard's hind legs fiercely.
The snow leopard roared in pain and turned to rush towards Zeus. Zeus dodged the attack and tangled with the snow leopard. Feng Ziang also picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the snow leopard with all his strength, gaining an advantage for Zeus.
Prince Leo took the opportunity to roll to the side, holding his bleeding wound, with a complicated look in his eyes. He looked at the two men fighting side by side, and finally said in a low voice: "Thank you."
The three of them worked together and finally repelled the snow leopard. Although Prince Leo was rescued, his desire for the Moon of Honesty did not diminish. He struggled to stand up and looked towards the top of the mountain, where the legendary temple was located. He wanted to use the Moon of Honesty to create a false illusion for everyone to live in.
"Thank you for your help, but we are still the enemy"
Prince Leo looked at them deeply and said, "However, the ownership of the artifact still depends on each person's ability." After that, he walked towards the top of the mountain without looking back, leaving behind only a series of footprints of varying depths, which were soon covered by the wind and snow.
Feng Ziang and Zeus looked at Prince Leo's receding back, feeling mixed emotions. They knew that the real challenge had just begun.
Zeus took Feng Ziang's hand and said firmly, "Let's go too."
A soft laugh seemed to be heard in the biting cold wind, but it disappeared without a trace, leaving only the white snow on the top of the mountain, sparkling with a frightening light in the sunlight.
