There was nothing wrong with being cautious. After that, there was another avalanche, but it was not as powerful as before.
Shao Xuan did not plan to leave before dawn. He decided to wait until the sun came out. It was not convenient to move in the dark, and it was not easy to find the way.
After being chased and dodging the avalanche for such a long time, all kinds of feelings came pouring out as soon as he relaxed.
He was hungry and tired, but he still had to be vigilant, in case of any unexpected threats. Therefore, Shao Xuan cursed Hoodlum in his heart several times.
He had a piece of meat with him, but he dropped it when he was running. He touched his body and the animal skin bag, and found a spearhead and a gourd in it. The gourd was not big, and there was still some pig blood in it. Mai and the others put some grass juice in it to prevent the blood from coagulating.
After drinking a mouthful, Shao Xuan handed the gourd to Mao, who was even worse than him. Except for a few short spears and stone knives, he dropped everything else on the way.
Even without the meat, a mouthful of the four-fanged wild boar's blood helped him recover some of his strength. Mao looked around, and asked Shao Xuan, "Do you think Mai and the others will find us?"
"I don't know." If they were in other places, such as the valley or the basin, or the forest they had passed through before, Mai and the others would probably find them by following the traces. But in this place, since they set foot on the ice and snow area, many traces were buried by the flying snow. Moreover, when they were chased by the Thorn Black Wind, Shao Xuan ran horizontally along the horizontal line after reaching a certain height, and did not continue to go higher.
The temperature at night was much lower than during the day. When they climbed over the mountain, it was during the day, and it was freezing, not to mention tonight.
It was probably because he had consumed a lot of energy tonight. His body was absorbing the energy from the four-fanged wild boar's blood at a much faster rate. Even after taking three sips of the blood, the totemic power in his body never stopped circulating. There was no other way. If he stopped in this place, he would probably be frozen solid. He could only rely on his totemic power.
Mao did not know how to talk to Shao Xuan. After all, he did not like Shao Xuan before, and after drinking the four-fanged wild boar's blood, he was a little sleepy. But the tense nerves and the endless cold wind drove away most of his sleepiness. Looking around, it was still pitch-black. He could still vaguely see things close to him, but he couldn't see anything further. After hesitating for a while, Mao decided to ask Shao Xuan why he could see clearly in such a dark environment. However, when he turned around, he saw Shao Xuan drinking the pig's blood from the gourd.
The fifth mouthful …
Usually, Mai only let them drink one mouthful at a time, because they could not bear the energy contained in the pig's blood if they drank too much. Even when Mao himself was almost exhausted, he only drank three mouthfuls intermittently, and that was almost his limit. If there was too much external energy, and he could not control it, there would be chaos in his body. But now, Shao Xuan did not seem to want to stop. It seemed that there would be a sixth mouthful later.
"Is it okay to drink so much …?" Mao asked.
"It's okay for now." Shao Xuan felt that the energy brought by the pig's blood soon disappeared, and the tiredness that had just eased came back again. He could only drink one more mouthful. After repeating this several times, Shao Xuan did not find any side effects, so he just followed his instinct and kept drinking.
Mao only drank three mouthfuls of the four-fanged boar's blood, and Shao Xuan drank the rest. When the pig's blood was finished, the sky began to glow.
Mao looked at Shao Xuan as if he was looking at a monster. He could not understand why this guy was not affected at all after drinking so much four-fanged boar's blood. On the contrary, he was getting more and more energetic!
No one in the tribe would believe him if he told them that!
"Are we leaving now?" Mao asked.
The snow had stopped long ago, and as the sky gradually brightened, they could clearly feel the temperature rising. When the sun came out, they would not need to use the totem power anymore.
"Wait a little longer." Shao Xuan looked at the sky and said.
The clouds in the sky dispersed a little, and Shao Xuan could see many sharp peaks in the vast sea of clouds. Those were the mountains in the distance. The peaks appeared and disappeared with the surging of the sea of clouds. Further away, there were even higher peaks, piercing into the blue sky.
When the sun finally came out and shone on this snowy region, the color was no longer so cold. However, there were no trees in sight. There was only a large white wall of snow in front of them. Looking up, they would reach the peak of the mountain.
The snow was knee-deep, and as far as his eyes could see, it was all white. The heaven and the earth seemed to be one. Looking down, the world at the foot of the mountains seemed to be hidden in the fog, and he could not see through it.
The scene in front of him made him feel like he was lost in an inaccessible white world. Those who were not strong-willed would probably shrink back.
Here, it was even higher than the mountain that Mai took them to climb. That mountain was connected to the mountain range, and Shao Xuan was looking at a place in the mountain range. Looking around, he could see the white peaks that stretched for thousands of miles.
"Where … is this?" Mao looked at the strange scenery in front of him and asked uneasily. He remembered the place they climbed, and even all the scenery around the mountain. He remembered it carefully in his mind, but now it was all strange in front of him.
When they escaped, they did not feel that far away. Now, looking at it again, they found that they were in big trouble.
It was impossible to stay here forever. Shao Xuan decided to go down the mountain, at least to a warmer place.
Shao Xuan was still thinking about Old Ke's saber. After Old Ke gave him the saber, he held the saber in front of Old Ke and assured him that he would take good care of the saber. But now, the saber was gone.
Walking down the mountain, through the cloudy area, the scenery at the foot of the mountain gradually appeared.
In this forest, there was no vegetation above, and the mountains were covered with snow all year round. But at the foot of the mountain, there was green grass, experiencing a short winter and a long summer.
It was almost two different worlds.
Shao Xuan and Mao walked down the mountain for a while, and saw a big bump in the snow. The snow here was very thin, and was melting under Yang Guang's feet. The protruding mass also revealed part of the scene under the snow — black scales.
The exposed saber allowed Shao Xuan to judge that it was the head of the Thorn Black Wind.
A ball of snow slid down along with the water, with some traces of red. Shao Xuan looked over, and found that the saber, which had only pierced one-third of the head, had now pierced more than half of the head. There was some dried blood around the saber.
The Thorn Black Wind's scales, which were usually so majestic, were now all lying on the ground, and it did not move at all.
Signaling Mao not to move, Shao Xuan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, what he saw in front of him was a huge skeleton. Different from last night, the huge ferocious beast in front of him now had several broken bones, as if it had bumped into something. Even if it was still alive, the injury was not small. And its head … was deeply pierced by the saber.
If it were not for the saber, Shao Xuan would have gone down the mountain without hesitation, and would not have tested whether the Thorn Black Wind was dead or alive. If it was still alive, even if Shao Xuan had recovered his strength, the outcome would still be uncertain.
Gathering the snow around, Shao Xuan squeezed it into a hard snowball, and threw it at the saber.
The saber trembled slightly, but the huge ferocious beast did not move at all.
After several tests, Shao Xuan finally confirmed that the ferocious beast, which was at the top of the food chain in the basin, was really dead.

The computer was broken, so he took out an old one and made do with it. He opened a web page for a few minutes, and downloaded some software, but it stopped halfway …
