Because the previous process was too exciting, the two female bodyguards didn't speak for a long time after entering the passage. However, the passage was too long, and it wasn't a straight line. After going around and around for a long time, they still hadn't reached their destination. They were a little anxious again.
"Miss, how long will it take to get there?"
The older female bodyguard began to ask questions again.
"Don't worry, it's still early. Three days of hot and three days of cold before we reach our destination. "
Huangfu Xueli's answer made the female bodyguard feel that she didn't quite understand. What did three days of hot and three days of cold have anything to do with the length of the journey? Soon, they understood Huangfu Xueli's words because the passage began to get hotter and hotter, as if they were walking into a furnace.
Three days of cold and three days of hot. Did it mean that they had to walk in such a hot environment for three days and then walk in a cold environment for another three days? Wouldn't that mean that it would take six days to reach their destination? Although the distance was fixed, the walking time was different. How could it be determined that it was exactly six days?
The female bodyguard didn't understand what Huangfu Xueli was saying, but she could only follow obediently. She realized that Huangfu Xueli had taken out a white fur coat and put it on. The coat was very big and thick, wrapping her up tightly. She even wore a hat to cover her head.
Was there a mistake? It was already very hot, and she was wearing a thick coat. The two female bodyguards found it too hot to wear a single layer of clothing. They wished they could take off another layer. However, the girls were too embarrassed to take off all their clothing, so they rolled up their sleeves.
"Put down your sleeves. It will be even hotter later."
Huangfu Xueli advised them nicely. As for whether they would listen or not, it was up to them. The two female bodyguards were originally quite obedient. They performed well in the Yellow Sand City's City Lord Residence, so they were arranged to accompany the Miss. However, ever since they entered the Divine Monster Region, they became more and more disobedient.
Perhaps it was because they were a little nervous about entering the Divine Monster Region, and they hadn't adapted to being surrounded by so many people, so Huangfu Xueli didn't argue with them.
As expected, the further they walked, the hotter it got. At the beginning, wearing less clothing could help them dissipate heat. However, when the temperature reached a certain level, they would feel their skin burning. The pain on the skin was still a small matter, but as they walked deeper and deeper, their internal organs began to heat up. His entire body felt hot and uncomfortable, as if he was about to combust.
Under such circumstances, the two female bodyguards could only try their best to resist and isolate the heat from their bodies. But this way, the divine power in his body would gradually be consumed. If they encountered other situations, the power of divinity might not be enough.
On the other hand, Huangfu Xueli was wearing a thick fur coat and looked the same as before. Although it looked very hot, it was still within the acceptable range. That was why she didn't need to expend her God's Power of Divinity and could still walk at a constant speed.
"Missy, slow down. Wait for us."
At first, the female bodyguard was full of confidence, but after a long time, she couldn't keep up with the pace. As they walked, they had to circulate their energy to resist the scorching temperature in the passageway. They were so tired that they were gasping for breath. The two of them were not wearing much to begin with. The sweat that seeped out made their clothes stick to their bodies and then evaporate. However, just as the sweat evaporated, new sweat would seep out after two steps.
Fortunately, they both had Cultivation and had enough water in their storage rings to constantly replenish themselves. Otherwise, they would definitely be roasted into jerky if they continued walking like this.
"Keep up. Don't change your speed, or you'll lose track of us."
Huangfu Xueli was usually a person who was easy to talk to, but she wouldn't easily change her mind on this matter. She was still walking at a constant speed, neither speeding up nor slowing down. Seeing this situation, the two female bodyguards could only bite the bullet and keep up.
After walking in the scorching passageway for three days, they were already numb. Although there was a constant stream of river water, their skin was dry and cracked from the heat. The surrounding environment suddenly changed, and a bone-chilling wind blew.
"Hiss …"
When the cold wind blew on their originally warm bodies, they couldn't help but shiver. Only then did the two female bodyguards notice that the surroundings of the passageway were no longer red from being roasted by the fire, but white like snow.
"Seal your wounds!"
Because they were roasted too much just now, the two female bodyguards had wounds on their bodies. After walking into the cold environment, they still couldn't react. If it was just a drop in temperature, there was no need for such an upgrade. The main thing was that the surrounding snow had a strange smell. Yes, it was the smell of blood.
It was obviously pure white snowflakes, but they inexplicably carried the smell of blood. This feeling was very strange, and it was different from normal people's three views.
The smell of blood wasn't the biggest problem. The bigger problem was that these snowflakes didn't melt quickly when they fell on the skin. Instead, they began to absorb the blood along the wound like cotton. It was like throwing a piece of dry sea surface onto the surface of the water. It had to absorb water.
"Ah, what is this!"
The two female bodyguards were so scared that they screamed. The wounds on their bodies hadn't completely healed, and they didn't think about sealing them in advance. Now that the snowflakes fell on them, the blood was immediately absorbed. As the blood permeated, the pure white snowflakes began to turn a light pink, then bright red, then deep red, purple, and finally black liquid fell on the ground.
"Hiss …"
The black liquid was like molten iron, and when it fell on the ground, it made a sizzling sound and emitted smoke. With their replenishment, the surroundings weren't so cold anymore. It turned out that these snowflakes absorbed blood and then converted it into heat.
The two female bodyguards didn't care at first, thinking that the wounds on their bodies would soon recover, and they weren't in a hurry. But when they saw the situation in front of them, they were so scared that they quickly used their internal energy to forcibly seal their wounds. It didn't matter if it didn't heal, they would seal it from the outside first.
After the wounds on the skin were sealed, they wouldn't be absorbed by the snowflakes. However, when the snowflakes fell on the body, they would still take away the heat, and the thin layer of clothes couldn't block it at all.
This time, the two female bodyguards learned their lesson and quickly found a few more clothes to put on. Before, they didn't put on clothes because ordinary clothes couldn't block the heat. And if they didn't use their internal energy to protect themselves, their clothes might be ignited. Now it was different. Although ordinary clothes couldn't block the heat, they could block the cold.
