After the seven of them crossed the ridge, they realized that the situation wasn't good. The original path wasn't easy to traverse, but at least there were protruding rocks to guide the way. It was firm and stable.
However, there were no more rocks when they reached the back of the mountain. As the snow got heavier, the ground was completely covered in snow. They could only rely on their trekking poles to probe forward. What made them even more worried was that the mountains were high and the forests were dense. Gradually, the things that could be used to distinguish the route on the map could no longer be seen! Walking in the mountains, they couldn't even tell north from south. They had to rely on a compass to proceed with great difficulty.
At the same time, although the wind had weakened, the temperature dropped. The air they exhaled seemed to solidify in the air …
The more they walked, the more worried Wei Yaqin became.
However, Xunzi and company continued proceeding forward without any intention of retreating. In Xunzi's words, "The more difficult it is, the more challenging it feels. It's difficult for us, but it's even more difficult for Panzi and company!"
With regards to this, Wei Yaqin could only shake her head. She was now very doubtful that Panzi and company would enter the mountain. Looking at her cell phone, there was no signal at all. It was already impossible to back out midway. All she could do was continue advancing with the excited university students. However, Wei Yaqin was careful. As she walked, she would drop something or break a tree branch. This was one of the survival techniques that she had read on the internet before coming here. Firstly, it could guide her back. Secondly, if anything happened, it would make it easier for the rescue team to find them.
At the same time, a dark cloud floated across the sky. It was inconspicuous, and no one paid it any attention.
However, there was a monk, a young monk, a wolf, a monkey, and a squirrel in the cloud.
"Master, these guys should be the people you are looking for, right?" Red Boy pointed down.
Fangzheng nodded slightly. "Probably. It's indeed different from what Patron Wang said. There are a total of seven of them. From the looks of it, they didn't encounter any trouble. "
"Master, should we call for help?" asked Red Boy.
Fangzheng thought for a moment and shook his head. "There's no need for that for now. Some people have to learn from their mistakes. If we immediately call for help, even if we bring them back, they probably won't realize the danger they faced. They might not even feel grateful, and instead, they might grumble. They might even do such foolish things in the future. Since they are so eager to take risks, we should let them experience what it feels like to die while taking risks. Besides, even if we go to the rescue team and tell them, they might not believe us. Even if they believed us, it would be troublesome to explain how we found them. "
Hearing this, Red Boy grinned and said, "Then … what should we do?"
Fangzheng shook his head. "There's no need to do anything. The heavens will naturally teach them an unforgettable lesson."
In the evening, Xunzi and company had no idea how far they had walked. Seeing that the sky was turning dark, they didn't dare wander around. Most importantly, the wind was blowing! It wasn't a light breeze, but a gust of strong wind! The strong wind howled, as if it wanted to tear the trees apart. The blowing snowflakes were like knives stabbing into his face, causing him great pain!
They couldn't take it anymore. They were so scared that they didn't dare to wander around. They originally wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind, but they couldn't find a suitable place after searching for a long time. The sky was getting darker, so they had no choice but to find a temporary camp next to a few big trees.
Monk looked like he had some experience in surviving in the wilderness. He helped set up the tents, but the tents couldn't be set up at all. The wind was too strong, and the tents were like bags in the wind as they flailed about in the air. The university students originally believed that their wilderness survival skills were sufficient, but when they had to use them, they realized that their strength was nothing compared to the harsh environment of nature! The group of people spent a lot of effort before they barely managed to set up a tent. As for the rest, no one was willing to do it.
However, just the tents were useless. The strong winds howled, instantly taking away the heat. The seven of them trembled from the cold.
Monk wanted to light a fire, but he was infuriated to discover that half of the branches that He Haijiang and Cheng Mujie had brought back weren't dry yet! How were they to be used? Helpless, he could only use them sparingly. He first lit a portion to warm himself. Unfortunately, the moment the fire was lit, the strong winds mixed with snow made it flicker. Monk hurriedly called for people to block the wind. Apart from Xunzi, Glasses, and Wei Yaqin, who came to help, the others hid in the tents, refusing to come out!
When Monk saw this, he finally couldn't hold back his pent up anger as he cursed. "F * * k! Why aren't you f * * king coming over to help? This isn't the city. It will only get colder after dark. Without a fire, we will f * * king freeze to death here! "
Cheng Mujie shouted. "There are so many of you. What can you do? We women don't know how to do it either."
"You don't know? Just f * * king stand here. Do you understand? "Glasses turned anxious as well.
The moment He Haijiang heard that, he couldn't take it lying down. He said angrily, "Glasses, who are you scolding?"
Seeing that there was a quarrel, Xunzi hurriedly shouted. "Stop arguing. Quickly help. If the fire is extinguished, we will all die!"
However, the moment he shouted, he felt something fall from above. Xunzi and company subconsciously looked up and saw a thick layer of snow on the tree's crown. Xunzi and company's shouts caused the snow layer to tremble. It looked like the snow was about to fall!
"Protect the fire!" Monk shouted, but the others didn't react in time, nor did they realize what was about to happen.
The next moment, they saw large clumps of snow fall. With a few popping sounds, the flames that had just risen were instantly extinguished!
Seeing the fire extinguished, Monk didn't even have the strength to curse. He hurriedly pulled away the snow and dug out some dry wood. In an attempt to reignite the fire, he realized that when the snow fell, it would melt into water. The wood was already damp and couldn't be ignited no matter how hard he tried.
"F * * k! F * * k!" Monk angrily grabbed a piece of wood and threw it out. Then, he turned his head and glared angrily at Cheng Mujie. "Keep shouting! Keep f * * king shouting! The fire is gone. Just f * * king wait for death! "
With that said, Monk ignored them.
Seeing the only older monk ignore them, the others immediately turned flustered. Xunzi hurriedly said, "Monk, don't be angry. We mustn't fight amongst ourselves. What we need now is unity. "
"Unity? F * * k, all of you are hiding in tents. How can we be united? "Glasses cursed as well.
At that moment, He Haijiang came out and said with a frown, "I'm out. That should be fine, right? Let's think of a solution now. Otherwise, we can only seek help. "
Seeing how He Haijiang didn't think much of it and spoke in a relaxed manner,
