Fortunately, they had glasses, otherwise they wouldn’t even be able to open their eyes in such a strong wind.
Perhaps the things Murong Xiao prepared for everyone below have not been fully used yet, so here, they only regretted not being able to bring more such magic weapons.
After adapting to the darkness, they no longer felt it was pitch black, but without the night-shining pearls, they wouldn't even be able to see the team members they were tied to. Add to that the blizzard, and visibility was less than ten meters.
There was no way to use the red silk method to determine how far up the mountain they had climbed, so everyone could only keep their heads down and move forward.
After walking about 500 meters, the rumbling sound was heard again.
"Oh no, it's an avalanche, put on the shield and put the backpack on your chest!"
The team members, who had already experienced an avalanche, cursed as they heard it was coming again. They quickly prepared three shields directly in front and diagonally in front of them, and then inserted two more shields behind them. Nine people, nine sets of shields, all in use at once. Following the posture Murong Xiao had taught them at the foot of the mountain, they squatted behind the shields and folded their arms across their chests.
It was so dark here that I couldn't see anything, and I didn't know if there were any rocks nearby. Avalanches could come at any time, so instead of wasting time looking for shelter, I might as well squat down and wait for the avalanche to come.
Although they had seen an avalanche before, they were lucky last time and stayed on the cliff, so they didn't collide with it head-on. This time, everyone knew that if they really encountered an avalanche like last time, these few barriers would definitely not be enough.
Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao were protected at the back and said nothing. At this moment, they held each other's hands, living together and dying together!
It took only a blink of an eye from the time they felt the faint roar of the avalanche to the time it was right in front of them. The team members desperately grasped at the life-saving straws in front of them, but human ability is ultimately no match for nature.
Although they had made the best preparations, when the overwhelming snow and ice came with the force of a strong wind, they were still swept up like drifting leaves and submerged in the overwhelming snow and ice.
Five minutes later, everything returned to calm.
In the pitch-black darkness, a ball of snow was kicked away from inside, and Murong Xiao was the first to crawl out of the nearly one-meter-deep snow. After getting out of the snow, he immediately turned around and kept digging at the snow in front of him.
Just as she was shoveling the snow, the snow in front of her was kicked away from inside, which increased her speed of shoveling.
At this moment, Ji Feng, who was pressing on Qian Yeming, also climbed out of the snow pit, and together with Murong Xiao, carried Qian Yeming out of the snow.
Looking at her husband lying in the snow with bruises all over his body, Murong Xiao felt heartbroken.
"Ming, how are you? Are you okay?" Murong Xiao asked while taking out the night pearl from his arms and carefully looking at Qian Yeming's whole body.
"It's just a minor scratch, don't worry. How about you? Are you hurt?" Qian Yeming looked at Murong Xiao who was even more injured, and felt even more distressed in his heart.
"I'm fine too." After saying that, he looked at Jifeng and said, "Jifeng, how are you?"
"Madam, I'm fine."
Murong Xiao nodded with relief and said, "Everyone was tied up with ropes before. Even if they are separated now, they should be nearby. Go and look for them first."
