Chapter 299 I’m here to see you, Xueli.

[Young man, why do you appear here alone? Where is your family? 】

[Young man, you can’t go any further. There is a place of death ahead, and there are man-eating monsters! 】

【I know, boy,】

[Are you also here for the legendary ‘Eternal Flower’? 】

[Yes, it is rumored that it can cure all diseases and resurrect dead bones, but you must also know that such an ability must come with the risk of death. 】

[I understand, if you have made up your mind and insist on going into the mountain,]

[Then I can only advise you at the end: none of the humans who have entered Baichuan Mountain in search of the ‘Eternal Flower’ over the years have come back alive. 】

[Moreover, since four years ago, the changes in Baichuan Mountain have become more and more serious. 】

[Ice and snow are gradually covering the land at the foot of the mountain.]

[I’m afraid that this village will cease to exist soon.]

"Thank you, old man, I understand."

The other party seems to have lived here since childhood, and has a deep understanding and emotion of the snow-capped mountains behind him, so he has not left here like other residents of the village.

Instead, he is like a mountain guard, constantly reminding every traveler in the past not to move forward and not to be greedy for the desires that eternal life brings.

"However, I'm not here to find the 'Eternal Flower'."

After saying that,

Huang bowed slightly towards the white-haired old man who lived alone in the village.

Then he left Gassho Village at the foot of the snow-capped mountains without looking back, and walked firmly towards the white restricted area of ​​life within his field of vision.

[Four years ago, that was the day when the snow girl, no, it was the day when Xue Li fell into a deep sleep. 】

Looking at the straight and firm back of the young man, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly changed a bit.

At the same time, Yu Zhi was slowly repeating the other party's words in his heart,

[Aren’t you looking for the ‘Eternal Flower’? 】

[If it wasn’t to obtain the ‘Eternal Flower’, then why did you enter Shirakawa Mountain? 】

【There are terrifying monsters living there.】

【Could it be?】

[Could it be that that young man came just for the monster that exists inside? 】

Uncontrollable conjectures roared in the old man's heart, and his vision once again looked in the direction of the snow-capped mountains. In just a moment, the traveler passing by became somewhat blurred and invisible.

【well-】

The old man withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply.

In the past hundred years,

He has passed by too many travelers, including hunters who are familiar with the mountains, shrewd businessmen, warriors in armor, and mysterious onmyojis.

However, all those who moved forward stayed in that snow mountain forever and never appeared again.

【May you return safely.】

A mechanical prayer resounded in my heart.

.........

[The biting cold wind.]

【Frost and snow that freezes everything.】

【Any life that attempts to step into Baichuan Mountain will be frozen.】

Huang slowly stood up from the ground, with some ice shards glowing with crystal light still remaining on his fingertips.

Just as the old man at the foot of the mountain said,

Ice is slowly encroaching on the world, and the snow line is constantly pressing down.

One year?

Two years?

I'm afraid that the entire Gassho Village will be covered in this cold winter and sleep forever.

After calming down his thoughts slightly, Huang continued walking towards the depths of the snow-capped mountains. The giant trees and grass stems around him still maintained the lush appearance they had a second ago, but they looked eternally frozen.

【Here I am, Baichuan Mountain.】

Facing the cold wind, I walked through the lifelike frozen grass, passed the closed mirror-like lake, and walked alone to the middle of Shirakawa Mountain.

This is a cherry forest, and the cherry blossoms should be flying in this season.

But now, all living things are sealed by ice and snow, and everything is stuck in its former prosperous moment.

Naturally, this includes the cherry blossom forest covered with snow.

"Chirp."

At this moment, a slight cry suddenly sounded in Huang's ears.

In this world where there is only wind sound, it is definitely an extremely rare thing.

He followed the sound and saw in the snow not far away, a small blue beast struggling to get out from under the white snow.

It looked like yesterday's falling snow might have covered the den where he stayed.

After struggling to get out from under the snow layer, it habitually shook its small body to shake off the fallen snow, but this action suddenly stopped in an instant.

Because, there is a strange breath appearing in its perception.

"Zhizhi."

Seeing the human beings leaping into sight, this small blue beast that looked a bit like a ferret immediately began to cry out. The cute little look seemed to be complaining that it clearly saw its own embarrassment, but it didn't.

Just come and lend a hand and do me a favor.'

Moreover, this little guy didn't seem to be afraid of people, or maybe he had seen too many such visitors. He jumped close to the young man, and not only started to hang around the young man, but also kept shrugging.

He held his little nose as if he was sniffing something, leaving rows of small footprints on the flat snow.

The little beast's exploration suddenly came to an end with a whisper.

"It's Snow Ghost."

Perhaps the visitor's sudden voice, or perhaps the three unique pronunciations, surprised the little guy and stopped him.

The raised little face and the round little beast eyes showed doubts.

After all, no one has called its name like this for a long time.

"squeak."

The Xue Youhun who was stationary on the spot let out a soft cry, and then jumped towards the higher direction of the mountain.

However, after leaving a series of small footprints on the snow, it suddenly stopped and turned its little head to look at the strange visitor, as if to confirm whether the other party was following properly.

"Are you taking me to see her?"

Seeing the little beast in such a state, Huang asked without any reason, and he didn't even think about whether this little guy who had not made a contract with him could understand what he said.

Hearing this, Xue Youhun raised his little head and looked at the sky, seeming to be trying hard to think about what the human in the field of vision was saying.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, after a moment of thinking, it chirped again and continued to trot towards the top of the snow-covered mountain.

.

Seeing this, Huang immediately stepped up and followed him.

As the mountain climbs, the surrounding area becomes colder.

If winter in the Land of Fire is a magical attack, which can make you feel the clear dividing line between summer and autumn; winter in the Land of Snow is a physical attack, giving you the illusion that your fingers and ears have been lost, and you do not belong to yourself;

Then, Winter in Shirakawa Mountain is a dimensionality reduction attack that goes beyond one parallel level.

The thick clothes are just decoration here, the flowing blood is almost solidified, and the frozen eyelashes are the first warning here.

Um,

As for why Huang thought so, it was because the first ice sculpture appeared in Yu Zhi's field of vision, a human-shaped ice sculpture.

According to the old man at the foot of the mountain,

Baichuan Mountain only became like this four years ago. The previous snow line had not dropped far to the foot of the mountain, and it had never been so cold on the mountain.

It seems that all of this changed after Xue Li fell into a deep sleep.

【Some power is out of control.】

Huang raised his face to look at the mountaintop that was submerged in the sky, and his body was trembling slightly. This was not because of the fear he felt when seeing the lifelike ice sculptures of the same kind, but because of the coldness that penetrated his bones.

Wearing autumn clothes and being indifferent to the weather in the Land of Snow, he also felt the biting cold when he walked halfway up the mountain and walked through the cherry blossom forest.
