Chapter 164: Guarding the Country and Family 28.5



When the journey started again, there were still three people, but only three people.

The mountains in Xuanwu Kingdom are steeper than those in Baihu Kingdom.

The cold wind was raging, and it felt like a knife cutting people.

Each snowflake was soaked in cold air and was extremely sharp, leaving tiny scratches on their skin, so shallow that they could not be seen without careful observation.

However, the cold air continued to flow into the body through the wounds, invading every part of the body. By the time people realized it, they were already a little stiff.

Bai Xing was actually slower than the other two to realize this, as her physical fitness was already extremely strong, a human-shaped divine beast.

But Princess Ji Yu and Li Yue are both just human beings, especially Li Yue. Her physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people, but her skills are mostly based on the poisonous insects.

When the cold came, she was the first to be unable to bear it.

Bai Xing holds up the energy barrier, but the energy consumption is much higher than in the White Tiger Kingdom.

There is constant wind and snow in the mountains here. The strong winds and snow are mixed together, making the airflow even more turbulent.

Li Yue's face turned pale and her lips lost their color.

She clenched her teeth tightly, trying to resist the invasion of cold.

"Hold on a little longer, we will be able to climb over this mountain soon. After that, we can find a cave to rest." Bai Xing comforted.

However, the wind and snow grew stronger and stronger, and the vision became blurred.

The three men and the horse moved forward with difficulty.

Suddenly, a strong wind swept over, blowing Princess Ji Yu to stagger and almost falling off the horse.

Bai Xing quickly reached out to support her, but she was almost blown down by the wind, and her energy barrier was caught off guard by the sudden increase in wind speed.

"If this goes on, the situation will not be good!" Princess Ji Yu pursed her lips. Although she almost fell just now, there was no panic in her eyes.

This made Bai Xing look at her with a new respect. Princess Ji Yu's pride as a princess was fully revealed at this moment. In the face of danger, her pride did not allow her to feel any cowardice in her heart.

Bai Xing stared ahead, weighed the options in her mind for a moment, and without much hesitation, she made a quick decision.

She took a deep breath and used all her strength to cast an energy barrier. The large amount of energy output made the barrier reach an extremely stable state. The barrier enveloped the three of them, and the wind and snow were completely blocked out.

"Follow me!" Bai Xing shouted loudly, and went straight to the front of the team, flying in the air, leading two people and one horse to continue moving forward.

Those at the front naturally bear the greatest pressure, but they are also the ones who can react first.

Bai Xing took a risky move, but compared to passively accepting it, she was more accustomed to taking control of the danger in her own hands.

The higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes.

The pressure became extremely strong. Although it was still within Bai Xing's tolerance, she began to feel some strain.

It would be very tiring to continue in this state, but Bai Xing originally planned to cross the current mountain and find a cave to make corrections.

However, although they had prepared themselves mentally for the unexpected, the moment they reached the top of the mountain, the entire team was blown backwards for a distance and almost fell.

The wind speed at that moment was so fast that it was frightening. The barrier that Bai Xing activated with all her strength was almost broken in an instant.

The country of Xuanwu should not be underestimated.

It’s hard to imagine what life was like for the people who lived here before.

After struggling to climb over the mountain in the wind and snow, we searched for a long time and finally found a cave.

They took a short break in the cave, and Bai Xing lightly tapped her fingers, casually lighting a fire.

The flame was not big, but it quickly heated up the cave, and Li Yue's pale face looked much better.

She thought about it and started taking things out of the mustard bag she carried with her.

She laid out a pile of pots, pans, and utensils, followed by some fairly fresh vegetables. Although they looked a little wilted, they were still full of vitality and of excellent quality.

Li Yue skillfully lit the stove and started cooking.

The meal wasn’t very complicated, just a pot of vegetable soup.

Cook whatever you have on hand and add a little seasoning.

After a while, the aroma of soup filled the cave. Although the soup looked simple, it smelled surprisingly good.

Bai Xing and Princess Ji Yu sat around the fire, and Bai Ma was also squinting his eyes comfortably not far away from them, enjoying this rare peace.

"Thanks to you this time." Princess Ji Yu said sincerely.

The crisis that occurred today caused her usually strong heart to waver and feel fear for a moment. The crisis came too suddenly. If Bai Xing had not reacted quickly enough, they would have been shattered to pieces by now.

Bai Xing smiled and said nothing. She was really tired at the moment.

Li Yue silently distributed the cooked soup to them. After drinking a bowl of steaming hot soup, Bai Xing indeed felt that her body, which had been a little weak, had recovered a lot.

After the meal, the three of them simply tidied up and leaned against the stone wall to rest.

Bai Xing closed her eyes and thought about the next journey.

Before leaving, the White Tiger God gave her a simple map of Xuanwu Kingdom. Their current route could not avoid one of the three dangerous places in Xuanwu Kingdom - Wind Howling Cliff.
