Chapter 217 The Chill in the Soul
When Gao Huohuo slowly woke up, he found himself lying safely on the broad back of the giant python.
She was placed in the most central position, surrounded by an invisible layer of protection.
But in this gloomy Tianyou Ridge, a chill followed her like a shadow, making her shiver involuntarily.
She subconsciously tugged at her clothes, trying to resist the cold, and at the same time opened all the names on the system at once.
I wanted to use the power of the system to dispel the cold, but the feeling of being cold did not diminish at all.
"Alas, it turns out that the soul is only separated and not damaged. The system cannot transfer this feeling of weakness."
Gao Huohuo sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.
Gao Huohuo thought her disguise was flawless, but she had no idea that from the moment she woke up, the other five people had been secretly watching her every move.
Every subtle movement of hers could not escape the concerned gaze of everyone.
After a while, Zhao Feiyue took out two cloaks.
She put one on herself first, and then handed the other to Gao Huohuo.
With a warm smile on his face, he said, "Junior sister, do you feel that it's suddenly cold here?
I happen to have two cloaks here, let's put them on to keep out the cold."
When Gao Huohuo heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he asked doubtfully:
"Sixth Senior Sister, are you feeling cold too?"
Zhao Feiyue looked natural and asked as a matter of course:
"Don't you think? The sun is completely blocked out here, so it's natural to be cold."
Gao Huohuo thought to himself, "Really? Monks can also feel cold? Isn't this no different from ordinary people?
I guess Sixth Senior Sister must have noticed something and deliberately played along with her."
Just as he was thinking, Gao Huohuo suddenly realized: "Where is the clone I refined?"
She quickly mobilized the power of her soul and sensed it carefully.
Only then did they discover that Princess Huohuo was rushing towards the passage leading back to the human race.
"Big Brother, the clone I created is heading back to the human race. We must hurry and get going!"
Gao Huohuo shouted hurriedly.
So, the six people quickly jumped off the giant python's back and used sword-riding techniques one after another.
As for Tianyou Ridge, we can only wait until next time to continue exploring it. Now the most important thing is to do business.
"How about we team up in pairs? Fourth Brother, I have something to ask you. Why don't you team up with me?"
Zhao Feiyue was the first to propose.
However, Mu Hanxing quickly interrupted: "Sixth Junior Sister, you should come with me. The eldest senior brother is taking the fourth junior brother with him.
The three of us are all sword cultivators, so we can control swords faster."
Before Gao Huohuo could take out the Han Guang Sword, Zhong Hanshang pulled him up with his Jinghong Sword.
This is the first time that the Jinghong Sword has carried someone else. You know, as a sword cultivator, Zhong Hanshang has many spiritual swords.
But to him, the Jinghong Sword is like his own magic weapon, with a special status, and he would not show it to others easily on a normal day.
He would only use this sword when he was in desperate situation, had no choice but to do so, and could not defeat his opponent.
"Gao Huohuo, this Jinghong Sword is a semi-divine weapon just like ours.
Back in the days of the Immortal Cultivation World, it was a renowned top-tier weapon. I just wonder if its spirit has awakened yet?"
Ziying's voice echoed slowly in Gao Huohuo's mind.
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but look down at the Jinghong Sword under his feet.
The sword was flashing with cold light, overflowing with sword energy, and its sharpness was so sharp that it made people afraid.
She secretly speculated in her heart:
"Was this semi-divine weapon given to him by the Qingyun Sect, or did he find it by chance while out training like me?"
The Jinghong Sword has a crystal clear protective shield that firmly protects the two people on the sword and isolates them from the howling cold wind outside.
But Gao Huohuo's coldness came from deep within her soul. Even after putting on a cloak, the chill was still like a leech in her bones, lingering. She couldn't even help but shiver slightly.
In order to prevent Zhong Hanshang from noticing anything unusual, Gao Huohuo quickly hid his hands in his cloak.
She quietly took out the warm jade that Dongfang Han gave her and held it tightly in her hand.
"If only the demons had Jade Stream Flowers, I would definitely go pick some and bring them back." She thought silently in her heart.
Zhong Hanshang, who had been paying close attention to Gao Huohuo, soon noticed something was wrong with her.
He felt extremely distressed and immediately sent her spiritual power in an attempt to make her feel better.
"Brother Zhong, there's no need to send me spiritual energy. I might need it later, so save your spiritual energy.
I'm just... a little afraid of heights, that's all."
Gao Huohuo said quickly.
Zhong Hanshang knew that what she said was all excuses, but he still cooperated and gently suggested:
"Why don't you turn around and look at me instead of looking down, maybe that will help."
Gao Huohuo groaned inwardly when he heard this:
Isn't that embarrassing? And the posture is so weird!
"It's okay, you'll get used to it."
Gao Huohuo pretended to remain calm and responded to Zhong Hanshang with a slightly stiff smile.
But she knew very well in her heart that she was in such a weak state.
It is simply a fantasy to want to keep it secret for a long time. Everyone will know the truth sooner or later.
After all, Sixth Senior Sister Zhao Feiyue and Senior Brother Zhong have already become suspicious. Based on this, it can be inferred that Senior Brother Chu Lingchuan and the others will soon discover the clues.
She sighed inwardly and made a decision silently:
"Forget it. Once I successfully send Princess Huohuo away, I'll take the initiative to explain everything clearly."
This time, they were lucky as the combined demon cultivator who had been chasing them relentlessly last time was not around.
But looking around, the highest cultivation level among the surrounding enemies is at the Void Refinement Stage, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Gao Huohuo couldn't help but worry, as Zhong Hanshang was only at the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Facing such a strong opponent, I wonder if he can withstand this wave of attacks?
But now he only has the foundation-building cultivation level. Once exposed, the enemy will instantly discover his true situation and he will be in an irretrievable situation.
While he was thinking, a graceful female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage walked towards Gao Huohuo with light steps.
She was wearing a veil, covering her face completely.
Gao Huohuo recognized at a glance that this was the second clone he had refined - Princess Huohuo.
The other five people beside Gao Huohuo looked at each other knowingly, and everyone understood the reason.
Gao Huohuo raised his hand and handed a storage ring to Princess Huohuo without any hesitation.
Then he handed over all the precious items he had won with great difficulty from the demon clan to her.
He solemnly instructed, "We will be responsible for leading the enemies outside away. You must seize the opportunity to return to the human race."
Princess Huohuo looked solemn and nodded slightly without saying a word.
However, he exuded an aura of determination, as if telling everyone that he would definitely fulfill his mission.
Gao Huohuo turned around and was about to assign tasks to everyone, but found that Zhong Hanshang had already arranged everything.
She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhong, what should I do then?"
Zhong Hanshang frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Just keep watch here for us. If you spot that combined cultivator appearing, alert us immediately."
His tone left no room for doubt, as if he had already weighed the matter in his mind.
Putting Gao Huohuo in a relatively safe position at the rear is the best option at the moment.
Gao Huohuo felt a little unwilling, but looking at Zhong Hanshang's determined eyes, she knew that arguing at this moment would be useless.
