"That's good, but how can their speed remain unchanged?"
Xia De's position at this time is still below a snow slope, but this time there is no huge ancient demon appearing behind the ridge.
The open environment allowed for a clear view of the surroundings, but Xia De was still the same as last time, and did not see Miss Chloe and her party.
He couldn't rush to look around, the snowstorm would soon cover his tracks. If you lose your way and forget where you started, you may never find your way back.
Just as he was thinking about whether to explode the light of the silver moon and actively attract the attention of that witch, he suddenly noticed that on the other side of the ridge, there seemed to be a very vague white mist blown away by the snowstorm.
He wasn't sure if it was his illusion, but he climbed up the ridge against the wind and then rolled down the snow slope.
The white mist is indeed not his illusion, but it is a pity that the white mist has nothing to do with the witch and the three of them.
It was a hot spring located at the bottom of the ridge. The white mist Shade saw just now was actually hot steam. He couldn't understand why there was a hot spring in this environment, and after getting closer, Xia De was sure that the spring was actually some kind of relic.
The **** [Winter Maiden] with bare feet, silver hair, and a long staff was standing by the spring. Therefore, even though Xia De didn't want to get close to the relic in such a weird place, he still walked over against the wind and snow.
After getting closer, he felt more and more truly that the existence of gods is power.
He didn't approach completely, but stopped five or six steps away from the god:
"god."
He greeted respectfully, and hoped that his voice could be passed through the blizzard.
"Outlander, take some water from here and bring it to the lost."
The **** with his back turned to Xia De said, Xia De looked down at the spring:
"Didn't know it was..."
"The Fountain of Soberness. After drinking it, one can wake up from the illusion, understand one's own fallacies, and break free from the illusion."
He said softly:
"The Lost needs this, she has to remember what she forgot before she reaches the top."
"What... did she forget?"
Xia De asked hesitantly, but the **** shook his head slightly, the silver hair was not shaking in the direction of the air flow in the storm, and the pure white light on the god's body was brighter than the silver of the snow mountain:
"You have to understand, outsider, this is a trial for her, a trial for her to take the last step."
"The last step? Isn't Miss Chloe only on the eleventh level?"
Xia De thought suspiciously.
"Then why are you here?"
Although this question was somewhat disrespectful, Xia De still asked it.
The girl-like **** turned around and looked at Xia De, who immediately bowed his head to show his respect. At this moment, traces of the afterglow of divinity appeared on his body surface, and he could feel the icy power of the **** in front of him.
The soft white light is not obtrusive in the silver-white snow all over the sky, God stretched out his finger to Xia De. Since the girl form was shorter than Xia De, Xia De instinctively lowered his head slightly again.
So, that cold finger directly touched Xia De's brow:
"Just like the toy gods who favor you, I also have mortals."
The instant coldness made Xia De mistakenly think that his soul was frozen on this snow mountain. When he regained consciousness and woke up, the **** in front of him had disappeared, only the hot steam was still bubbling from the pool.
[Outlander, any of your powers related to ice and snow have been permanently enhanced. 】
He stretched out his hand to press the center of his brow, and he could still feel the coldness permeating his whole body:
"Is this a blessing?"
[Of course not, it’s just a worthless gift you get from contacting the gods. 】
Xia De nodded, rummaged through the snow to find the water bag, then knelt by the spring to fetch water, but found that the water did not enter the water bag at all:
"Do you want a special container?"
I rummaged through and found the glass bottle, and then got the water. But it seems that this spring only allows him to take a certain amount of water. After that, no matter how Xia De uses any method, he can't leave with more water.
After the cork is plugged, the liquid in the glass bottle must be brought to Miss Chloe, but Xia De also wants to try the water himself. Although he can no longer use any container to get water, he can plunge his head into the spring:
"Um......"
Although a little embarrassed, no one else saw it here. Having made up his mind, Xia De lowered his head and pierced towards the spring—
Wow~
"oh!"
The cold feeling made him wake up a lot in an instant, and the cold made him shrink his head back. Looking again, the hot spring in front of him has disappeared, and he just plunged into the ice hole with a layer of floating ice:
"Although I know I'm a little greedy, can you stop being so stingy and let me take a sip?"
He took out a towel and wiped his head clean, and then took out a few scarves to wrap himself carefully. Then he stood up and looked at the Silver Mountains under the eerie and colorful black sky:
"So, where are Miss Chloe and the others now?"
[Let's go to a higher place. 】
"Right."
Xia De lowered his body, intending to climb up the ridge again:
"It must be near here. Oh, even after eating snow, Chuhuo's power has improved, it's still really cold here."
The positions of the witch and her party were closer than Xia De thought. He walked along the ridge towards the top of the mountain for less than three minutes, and saw the flickering fire under the snow **** on the left.
After scrambling and climbing down the snow slope, he found the tent left by the last time he left. Only this time, the three of them were not so lucky to find a big rock that could take shelter from the wind, so the witch manipulated the ice and snow to cast a low wall that didn't look very strong under the ridge, and the tent was placed behind the low wall. There is already a thick layer of snow on it.
The flames shot out from the big tent, and the figures of three people could be seen at the same time.
Miss Chloe seemed to have recovered a bit, and set up a guard ceremony around the perimeter, so when Shad appeared, she immediately discovered the trace of the comer.
"who is it?"
An extremely tense voice came from inside the tent, and the voice even trembled a little. Shad didn't know what happened, but he still showed his identity:
"It's me, do you want to see my flame?"
The tent was opened, and the witch showed up, hugged Xia De, and welcomed him in. With a smile on her face, the short lady with red golden eyes took Shad by the hand and asked him to sit down and warm himself by the fire first.
Because he plunged into the ice water not long ago, Xia De is in a very bad state now.
"You really kept the agreement and came back again."
Miss Chloe said with a smile, and asked Mrs. Marquez, who was tending the bonfire, to prepare hot tea. Xia De appeared again, and this middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties was also very happy, after all, it meant that Xia De had brought supplies again.
It seemed that it had been a long time since Shad left last time. Although the black tea has not been consumed yet, food such as vegetables has completely disappeared.
The good news is that although the three of them are not in good mental and physical condition compared to last time, at least their thinking is still normal and they can continue to walk. After all, they know that they are not alone in this silver snow mountain, and someone will come to help them.
Even the man who stole [Vientiane Impermanence·Darkness] raised his head and smiled at Xia De after he entered the tent.
The cowering man was still crouching in the corner of the tent. Although he had lost some weight, he looked healthy.
"Yes, but this time I still can't stay for long... oh, flames."
Xia De sat by the campfire, drank the cup of hot tea, stretched out his hands to warm the fire, and let out a long breath. This kind of flame that burns spiritual power is warm enough to warm the four people here, and with Xia De's arrival, the flame has shot up a lot.
"Did you just fall into the water?"
Miss Chloe asked with concern from the side, Xia De smiled dryly, and was embarrassed to say that he plunged into the ice water:
"This is for you. I met that **** again just now, and he asked me to give this to you. The fountain of sobriety is said to be able to break through obstacles."
Xia De handed the glass bottle to the witch, who looked at the bottle of water suspiciously:
"But I didn't fall into hallucinations. Although the time here is chaotic, I'm sure this moment is reality."
"Since it was requested by that god, you can drink it and give it a try."
Xia De encouraged.
The witch nodded slightly, frowning and drank the warm water. Everyone in the tent looked at her, as if expecting her to say something surprising, but Miss Chloe put down the bottle and showed nothing:
"Look, let me just say, I'm sober right now."
Although Xia De was a little suspicious, he didn't know how to explain this matter. He looked at the tent and asked again:
"Then what are you camping here for? Have you encountered problems again, or are you just resting?"
"It did run into some trouble."
When the young witch talked about this topic, she lost her spirits. She was still wrapped in the white fur that Shad wore last time, huddled close to him, feeling the warmth of his body, but this time she did not turn into a cat:
"There are some troublesome things staring at us, and we are not sure what it is. That thing has become our lost and dead companion in the snow mountain, constantly following and harassing us, so I decided to set up camp first and see Let's see what that thing wants to do."
"When I walked over, I didn't see anything weird nearby. I can still stay here for more than 20 minutes. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also let me see what is haunting you. "
Xia De said, seeing that it was safe for the time being, he took out Mia's toy from his bosom, and then restored the cat with his coat.
"Meow~"
Although it was warm in the tent, it was far colder than at home. As soon as the soft cat appeared, it threw itself into Shad's arms. It was hiding in Xia De's coat, only showing a kitten's head, looking suspiciously at the strange environment outside. His white beard trembled slightly, his little pink nose was moist, and his big amber eyes were very vigilant.
The appearance of this cat seemed to make the tent warmer, and everyone was in a good mood.
