Shushu slept for a whole day, and only woke up when he was completely well-rested.
Then, as soon as she opened her eyes, she met several pairs of bright, sparkling eyes. Snow Bear and Fire Yi were lying in front of her, while Jiu Ruoyi turned her head to look at her in a strange posture.
As for Tianluo, since it hasn't taken human form yet, Shushu can't see its expression, but just by looking at its branches that are shaking with excitement, you can tell that it's in a really good mood right now.
Shushu couldn't understand what these guys were up to, so he simply asked them directly.
"What are you doing?" This question was mainly directed at Tianluo, who was the most troublesome of her three friends.
Tianluo understood the meaning in Shushu's eyes, and immediately became stubborn: "Why are you looking at me! I haven't done anything wrong."
The word "again" is very interesting. Obviously, this little guy knows that he sometimes does things that seem a bit unconventional, but this time he didn't do anything bad.
Thinking of this, Tianluo's guilty conscience vanished, and he repeated, "I didn't do anything wrong! I..."
The thing that was about to say suddenly stopped. It turned out that the snow bear thought it was talking too much nonsense, so it pushed it aside and, without saying a word, took a bite out of the sweet potato's hand.
Snow Bear's move was somewhat sudden, and Shushu had not expected the other party to attack so suddenly. He only felt a sharp pain in his fingertip.
Just as she was about to pull her hand back, the snow bear held it down firmly. Looking down, she was shocked to see that the bear had swallowed her drop of blood.
After swallowing it, it quickly pulled out a snow-type spirit plant, clapped its hands together, smashed the spirit plant into pieces, and then smeared it on the millet's wound, instantly stopping the bleeding.
The entire movement was fluid and seamless, without the slightest pause.
The other hand that Shushu had raised, ready to attack the snow bear, was frozen in mid-air, unsure whether to attack or not.
After taking a few deep breaths to prepare herself mentally, she casually lowered her hand, and a contract totem was generated beneath her feet, instantly enveloping her and the snow bear in light.
As the light faded, she realized that another contract line had been added to her, this time with the snow bear that had been chasing her for days and nights—an equal contract.
Yukisuke, the snow bear, was very happy after repeatedly sensing the contract line with Potato. He grinned and talked to Potato happily.
"Shushu, from now on I'll follow you. Don't worry, I won't chase after you anymore. If you tell me to go east, I'll definitely go west. I promise I'll be more useful than Tianluo."
Upon hearing this, Shushu immediately glanced at Tianluo, who was pretending to be very busy, frantically digging through the snow, and refusing to come over. Tianluo looked utterly guilty, and Shushu knew exactly what was going on.
Knowing that Yukisuke was tricked into coming by it, Shushu was now genuinely curious about how Tenra had persuaded the bear.
But now was not the time to inquire about this, so she kept it to herself and planned to ask about it later. She took the opportunity to talk to Yukisuke and they exchanged a lot of information.
Afterwards, the group rested for half a day, filled their stomachs, and then set off again.
With Xuejie, the local bigwig, around, Shushu's journey went incredibly smoothly from then on, with no one or any beasts causing him any trouble.
Xuejie is a bit dim-witted. He was easily fooled by Tianlu's words and took the initiative to lead Shushu to run around the snowy mountains, robbing and looting, just like Tianlu did back then.
Moreover, compared to Tianluo, which was neither high nor low at the time, Xuejie not only knew exactly what good things were in this snow mountain, but it was also almost the top of the list.
There's nothing it can't get its hands on once it sets its sights on it. This guy is also incredibly domineering; if anyone dares to resist, it will beat them into a pulp without any mercy.
Whenever this happens, Shushu and Tianluo would quietly cover their eyes together, pretending that they hadn't seen anything.
Of course, before leaving, the millet would leave them some medicinal pills as appropriate.
With Yukisuke by his side, Shushu's actions didn't immediately become bolder, but he no longer hid like before and quickly plundered most of the snow mountain.
Only when Yukisuke felt he had nothing left to lose did the group follow him to the largest and highest snow mountain deep in the snow-covered mountains.
Xuejie's den is located at the top of this snow mountain, where the temperature is much higher than in other snow mountain areas. Tianluo and Jiuruo couldn't stand it any longer and hid in their spatial dimension.
Shushu was still clinging to Xuejie's back, being carried along by him, while Huoyi continued to dutifully act as a little heater, constantly providing warmth to Shushu.
It wasn't until they arrived at Yukisuke's place that Shushu realized why Yukisuke knew so much about what was in every part of the snow mountain; it turned out this guy was a collector.
Looking at the cave filled with snow-type spiritual plants and the plump, round snow silkworms on the snow mulberry tree, Shushu almost wondered if he had accidentally wandered into someone's herb garden.
After that, everyone naturally got busy and pitched in to collect everything.
At Xuejie's request, Shushu collected all the snow and soil from the entire cave and built a decent nest for him on the snow-covered mountain in front of the space.
They searched the entire snow cave thoroughly, leaving no one behind. Xuejie glanced at the place where he had lived most of his life and composed himself.
Following closely behind, they led the millet through countless twists and turns, passing through numerous formations, until they arrived at a cave deep within the snow cave.
At first glance, the cave seemed very casual and unremarkable. But then Xuejie took out a handful of spirit stones and began to throw them rhythmically onto the ground.
Soon, a rune lit up on the ground, and a hole slowly opened up, revealing a stone staircase that stretched endlessly downwards.
A bright smile appeared on Yukisuke's hairy face, along with a fleeting look of nostalgia and anticipation.
The next moment, Xuejie called out to Shushu Qing, "Let's go," and then took the lead into the stone steps on the ground.
Seeing this, Shushu raised an eyebrow and, without much hesitation, followed him inside.
Before long, the figures of the man and the bear disappeared on the stone steps, and the opening in the ground slowly shrank, until it disappeared along with the runes.
Even the spirit stones that Xuejie had thrown out earlier turned to ashes after the runes disappeared, melting into the surrounding snow and soil without leaving a trace.
After half a day had passed, with Yukisuke no longer guarding the outside, someone finally stumbled in by accident and entered this place.
Unfortunately, the visitor wandered around for a long time without finding anything unusual, and could only leave dejectedly.
Meanwhile, Shushu, who had entered the stone steps, finally finished climbing the steps under Xuejie's guidance and arrived at a heavy stone door.
Yukisuke first gestured for Shushu to move aside, and then he pushed open the door with a whoosh.
The moment the door was pushed open, a golden light suddenly shot out.
