Meanwhile, Wang Tong began to practice his Tactics of the Blade in his ice cave. It was a godsend opportunity for him to practice his Tactics of the Blade. Ever since the blizzard arrived, the five GN Sources in his body had been reacting more and more strongly. Therefore, Wang Tong decided to take advantage of the harsh environment to strengthen himself. Furthermore, the natural chill in the ice cave seemed to be resonating with him.
This was the habit of a battle-hardened warrior and a normal person.
The harsher the environment was, the more resilient Wang Tong would be. Instead, it was a good opportunity for him to practice his Tactics of the Blade. On Norton, Wang Tong's habit was cultivated by the harsh environment. However, Li Ruo-Er and Ma Xiaoru were still unable to do it even though they had gone through some training. Wang Tong was no longer a normal student.
Wang Tong gradually fell asleep after he finished his practice. However, he was still practicing his Tactics of the Blade in his body. It couldn't be helped since it was the only way he could withstand the five-fold gravity on Norton. At the same time, the Tactics of the Blade could also protect Wang Tong from the cold.
Normally, the harsh environment would be nullified by the slow practice of the Tactics of the Blade, forming a basic layer of protection for the body.
However, Wang Tong had forgotten that only the Tactics of the Blade could do this, not even the Tactics of the Enchantress!
Wang Tong woke up early in the morning. The sky was still gloomy, and he had no idea what time it was. After all, time was meaningless in this godforsaken place. Wang Tong tried to listen to the sounds coming from the opposite room, but he didn't dare to disturb them. Feeling refreshed, he continued to practice his Tactics of the Blade. This time, he was surprised to see that the five GN Sources had undergone some changes after absorbing the cold. A layer of GN Force slowly appeared on Wang Tong's palm, and it felt like it was freezing.
Wang Tong grinned. It seemed like he was really lucky to be able to pick up the technique in such a situation. He decided to have a good talk with Einherjar Wannabe when he got back. Perhaps he would be mad at him for being so lucky.
The howling wind was still howling outside. Wang Tong looked at the time and saw that another hour had passed, but there was still no sound coming from the other side. Wang Tong decided that it would be better to wait and see.
Wang Tong glanced at Ma Xiaoru and Li Ruo-Er, who were both lying on a blanket. Both of them looked pale, and Wang Tong knew something was wrong. He touched their foreheads and realized that both of them were having a fever.
Normally, fighters wouldn't fall sick easily, and once they did, it would mean that they had crossed the limit of their body. Both of them would be fine if they followed Wang Tong's instructions and practiced their tactics before they went to bed, but they had already forgotten about it. The frigid air from the Ice Mountain had already seeped into their bodies, and without the protection of their GN Force, they were not much stronger than ordinary people. It would be strange if they didn't have fever!
"Xiaoru, Xiaoru, wake up, wake up." Wang Tong tried to wake them up, but they were still in a daze. Their bodies were burning hot, and they could only mumble about the cold and headache when they heard Wang Tong calling them.
Wang Tong was having a headache this time, and he knew that there was nothing he could do in this godforsaken place. Fever might be a minor illness during normal times, but it could be fatal in this place, and there was nothing he could do about it.
If it weren't for the warm clothes and blankets they were wearing, they would have been frozen to death instead of having a fever.
Both Li Ruo-Er and Ma Xiaoru had zero survival experience in the wild, and Wang Tong himself didn't have any experience in surviving in the cold. He wasn't a prophet, and he didn't know that other people's bodies weren't as monstrous as his.
Wang Tong looked outside and noticed that the wind wasn't slowing down at all, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. Wang Tong knew that they would definitely die if they went out like this.
However, Ma Xiaoru and Li Ruo-Er would definitely die if they stayed here.
Wang Tong looked at the two girls, and he knew that something bad would happen if he stayed here any longer. He didn't even have the tools to cure a fever, and he wouldn't be able to help them even if he took off his clothes.
Wang Tong wasn't an indecisive person, and it was obvious that he couldn't tell when the wind would stop. However, he didn't have the time to wait any longer, and both girls were still running a high fever. If it was just a low-grade fever, then there would be no hope left.
Wang Tong could roughly determine the location of Aurora City based on the map provided by his Skylink, and he would be hopeless if even that didn't work.
Wang Tong looked at the sky, and he didn't pack his things. This was not a survival test, and he only had one chance. If he went out now, he wouldn't be able to come back no matter if he succeeded or failed.
Wang Tong knew that he couldn't wait any longer as he looked at Ma Xiaoru's sad face. He had considered leaving Li Ruo-Er alone, even though she had a bad temper, but it wasn't his style to leave her alone. After all, he had to save both of them.
Wang Tong carefully fed some water to Ma Xiaoru and Li Ruo-Er. Fortunately, both of them were physically stronger than the average person, so they were able to recover a little after drinking the water. Wang Tong knew that it would only last for a short period of time, so he quickly explained the situation to them.
"It's too … risky … We're … fine …" Ma Xiaoru tried her best to say.
Wang Tong would have done it even if they didn't agree to it.
Li Ruo-Er didn't say a word. She knew that the situation was dangerous even though she was sore all over. Girls' bodies were different from men's, and the cold would cause more damage to their bodies. However, her pride didn't allow her to say anything.
"Miss Li, I'm not trying to take advantage of you, but I'll carry you on my back and carry Ma Xiaoru … I'm sorry, I have no other choice, please forgive me."
"Are you sure you can do it?" Li Ruo-Er glanced outside.
"I'll have to do it even if I can't. The map is still useful, so we can only take a gamble!"
Wang Tong said. Actually, it was risky as well. If they waited here, the storm might get weaker, and if the rescue team arrived in time, they would still have a chance.
But what if?
They were already so weak now, and there would be many complications if they stayed in such a cold place. Needless to say, they might not even have a chance to escape if they waited any longer.
Li Ruo-Er looked at Ma Xiaoru, and it was obvious that she was looking at her. Ma Xiaoru looked at Wang Tong's determined eyes, and for some reason, she felt an inexplicable trust in him.
Ma Xiaoru nodded quietly, and Li Ruo-Er didn't say anything else.
Wang Tong fed them some water, but they couldn't even drink it anymore, and the water was too cold.
After putting on their thermal clothing, Wang Tong carried Ma Xiaoru and tied Li Ruo-Er to his back. He took a deep breath and memorized the map in his mind. His eyes wouldn't be able to do much in this horrible weather, so he had to rely on his senses.
Wang Tong looked at Ma Xiaoru in his arms, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't. Instead, he dove into the storm.
Wang Tong didn't dare to hold back, and he activated his Tactics of the Blade to the maximum. He had to face the Brutal Blizzard, and he couldn't afford to relax.
If Wang Tong was alone, he would have a high chance of survival even in such a harsh environment. However, with two more people, Wang Tong might have overestimated himself.
Both of them weighed about a hundred kilograms, but they weighed two hundred kilograms in total. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal for a fighter, but the environment in front of them and the clothes they were wearing must have weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Wang Tong's energy consumption had increased exponentially under such a strong wind.
Wang Tong couldn't increase his speed, and he had to move forward step by step. Moreover, the terrain was still unclear, and it was already hard for him to keep his balance while carrying one on his back and the other in his arms. If he increased his speed, it would be suicide, and if he dropped one of them, they would be blown away by the wind, and he wouldn't be able to save them.
Wang Tong had been running in the wind for half an hour, but he felt like he had only walked for five to six minutes. At this rate, the three of them would be buried in the glacier.
Li Ruo-Er, who was behind Wang Tong, was already losing consciousness. It wasn't because she was weaker than Ma Xiaoru, but because every woman would have a few days of inconvenience every month. Therefore, Li Ruo-Er's condition was slightly worse than Ma Xiaoru's, and Ma Xiaoru's condition was not much better.
Wang Tong's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed like God had fallen asleep and didn't notice the three of them struggling down there. The wind was still blowing fiercely, and the sky was still dark, and the snowflakes were still hitting his face.
Wang Tong had to allocate his stamina and GN Force well, and he didn't want to waste any of it. Wang Tong had to thank Massa for his stamina and GN Force during the training in Heaven. His stamina had played a key role in this situation, and Wang Tong hadn't slacked off at all. Otherwise, the three of them would have collapsed by now.
Ma Xiaoru could feel Wang Tong's heavy breathing. According to Li Ruo-Er, they had only met once during Ayrlarng's challenge against Capth, but they hadn't fought against each other. At that time, Li Ruo-Er was secretly sparring with her substitute to avoid being seen by others. Somehow, Ma Xiaoru felt a sense of familiarity and warmth from Wang Tong, as if she was a stranger.
As Wang Tong was walking, he was suddenly hit on the head by something mixed with the strong wind. This time, Wang Tong felt dizzy, and he was caught off guard.
Unfortunately, Wang Tong couldn't care less, and he continued to walk forward. Ma Xiaoru slowly opened her eyes, and she started to feel more and more uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the sense of security that came from nowhere, she would have been in a much worse condition.
"Wang Tong, no matter if we can make it out of here or not … Thank you." Ma Xiaoru mustered all her strength and said as she looked at Wang Tong's frozen face.
Wang Tong wrapped both of them tightly, but he only wore a thin layer of clothes in order to lighten his load.
Ma Xiaoru's voice was drowned out by the strong wind, and she wasn't sure if Wang Tong could hear her or not.
Wang Tong walked forward step by step, and his speed was getting slower and slower. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here!"
No matter how the wind howled, on the boundless ice field, a tiny figure was resolutely moving forward!
In the drowning world, Wang Tong's senses were getting weaker and weaker. As his stamina was depleted, he started to hallucinate, and the strong wind was ravaging his senses, making him numb and weak. If it wasn't for the girl in his arms, Wang Tong might have already lost consciousness.
