"yes."
Ji Feng took the order and immediately started shouting for his companions. Sure enough, some of them climbed out of the snow pit on their own, while others were dragged out by the ropes that hadn't broken. In a little over a quarter of an hour, all the team members had gathered.
"Qingfeng, you are responsible for checking everyone's injuries and recalculating the expenses in the bag."
"Your Majesty, I have checked and everyone has only minor scratches, none of which are life-threatening. Those who were dislocated have already been reattached."
Qingfeng's voice was brisk when he answered, and his words were full of pride for having fought against nature and excitement for having survived.
Qian Yeming was held in Murong Xiao's arms and nodded with relief: "I'm glad everyone is okay."
"Of course!" Qingfeng said proudly, "Master, you told me before: If you believe in Madam, you will have eternal life. Now they also believe so."
Qian Yeming looked at Murong Xiao, who seemed a little embarrassed for a rare time, and his smile was full of pride.
The avalanche just now forced them to retreat at least one or two hundred meters. After reconnecting the broken rope, the team set off again.
Although the road in the dark clouds was mixed with snowstorms and the temperature was much lower, everyone climbed steadily all the way because they were fully equipped.
It was always dark here, so naturally there was no concept of time. When everyone was really tired, they would huddle together to rest for two minutes, eat some dry food, and then continue on their way.
Because the blizzard was so severe, setting up a tent to rest or boiling water was absolutely impossible, so everyone could only strive to climb to the top as quickly as possible, eating snow when they were really thirsty. Everyone was determined to win and firmly believed that they would reach the summit.
I don’t know how long I climbed, nor how far I climbed, but suddenly, Murong Xiao stopped.
"Slow down!" Although Murong Xiao's voice was very soft, everyone heard it. They immediately stopped and used their senses to feel the surroundings.
The secret guards and assassins, driven by instinct, had already sensed a dangerous aura the moment Murong Xiao called a halt. But after a long moment of sensing, nothing approached except the rustling snow. Yet, no one spoke at this moment, for they sensed the danger still lingered.
"Everyone, form a circle immediately, back to back." Murong Xiao spoke again.
Years of experience as a secret agent had given her a particularly keen sense of danger. Although there were no humans or wild animals around them, she could sense something darker and more terrifying than humans... no, something even darker and more terrifying than wild animals!
After everyone received the order, they immediately formed a circle, surrounding Ji Feng and Qian Ye Ming in the middle, and used their greatest senses to perceive what was in front of them and around them.
"Roar——" A low, distant sound was heard, but the sound was penetrating enough to deafen the eardrums.
Everyone subconsciously covered their ears, but Murong Xiao turned around immediately and covered Qian Yeming's ears behind him until the sound disappeared. Then he took his hands away and turned around.
This voice was something she had never heard in her three lives. It gave her a chilling feeling. It sounded like an animal, yet not an animal, like a human, yet not a human, like a ghost… She had never heard the voice of a ghost, but it probably wasn't a ghost either.
In short, Murong Xiao rarely had anything to scare him, and when he heard such a gloomy and terrifying voice,
