As time went by, the surroundings began to get colder and colder. The two female bodyguards originally thought that the cold was easier to deal with than the heat, but they found that it was not the case. Although the skin and flesh hurt when it was hot, they could still endure it. But the cold was different. It would drill into the bones.
The bone-piercing cold was not only uncomfortable, but it would also stiffen the body and slow down the movement. As expected, the two female bodyguards couldn't keep up with Huangfu Xueli's speed again. But this time they didn't make a sound, but clenched their teeth and persevered. Because as long as they passed this section, they could reach the legendary place with hidden treasures.
Just like that, the three of them walked silently for a long time. When they were not far from the destination, Huangfu Xueli suddenly stopped.
"The friend behind, come out. There's no need to hide anymore."
She inexplicably turned around and spoke to the white snow behind her.
"What's wrong, Miss? What's the matter?"
"Yeah, I don't see anyone."
The other female bodyguard was also puzzled because she didn't see anything.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I was just shouting."
Huangfu Xueli turned around and continued to walk, which made the two female bodyguards feel a little puzzled. They looked around but still didn't find anything. But the snow was getting heavier, as if it was going to block the entire passage. Because it was all white, they couldn't tell the direction at all. If they didn't follow Miss Huangfu, they might not be able to find the way.
Oh no, where was Miss Huangfu?
The two of them were a little distracted just now. When they turned around, Huangfu Xueli was nowhere to be seen. She was wearing a white fur coat and wrapped up tightly. It was very inconspicuous in the snow-covered place. They could still see her clearly when they were following closely, but they couldn't find her if they were a little further away.
"Miss, where are you? Don't joke with us."
"Miss Huangfu, come out quickly. Master ordered us to protect you."
The two female bodyguards shouted while looking around. Because the surrounding environment was almost the same, they couldn't tell the direction at all. As a result, they bumped into the inner wall of the passage. They touched it with their hands and realized that they had gone in the wrong direction.
"What should we do? We seem to have lost her."
The young female bodyguard was very anxious, afraid that she couldn't find Huangfu Xueli.
"Let's do it this way. We'll each take one direction. We'll send the signal after we catch up."
In fact, there were only two directions to go in. One was to the front and the other was to the back. The left and the back were definitely dead ends. As long as they split up, one of them would be able to catch up with Huangfu Xueli.
Just as they were about to go their separate ways, a man suddenly appeared in front of them. It came out from a pile of snow, giving the two of them a fright.
"Don't worry, it's me!"
The man had a pointy face and very white skin. He was also wearing thick white clothes. He took out a token and waved it, indicating his identity to the two female bodyguards.
"Hurry up and chase in that direction. I can't get too close, or I'll be discovered."
The pointy-faced man was smarter than the two female bodyguards. He could still remember the direction in the snow, so he asked them to hurry forward, otherwise they would really lose track of Huangfu Xueli.
"Got it. You might have been discovered just now. Otherwise, our Young Miss wouldn't have shouted like that."
Previously, Huangfu Xueli had suddenly shouted at the back, which was somewhat baffling. The sudden appearance of the pointy-faced man proved all of this.
"Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and chase."
The pointy-faced man didn't want to admit that he had been exposed. His expression was a little ugly, and he ordered the two female bodyguards to hurry up and chase. He covered his face and went back into the snow pile. His ability to hide was quite good.
"Hmph, if you have the ability, follow her yourself. You don't need our help."
The two female bodyguards were obviously a little unconvinced, but they had no other choice. They had to find the right direction and speed up to catch up. After running for a short distance, they saw Huangfu Xueli was still walking at a constant speed, as if she didn't notice that they were missing.
"Young Miss, wait for us."
The two of them chased after her with a flustered and exasperated look. Only then did they remember that Huangfu Xueli had been walking at a constant speed. If they didn't calculate the time well, it was very likely that they wouldn't find their destination.
"You came just in time. We're about to arrive."
When Huangfu Xueli saw the two of them, she didn't blame them. Instead, she told them a piece of good news. They were about to arrive at their destination.
"That's great. I'm almost frozen."
The younger female bodyguard was very happy after hearing that. However, the older one couldn't help but frown. What a coincidence. We've just caught up to our destination, and we're already here. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Didn't Young Miss notice anything wrong?
Regardless of whether Huangfu Xueli noticed that there was something wrong with them or not, they had to follow her. As long as they reached their destination, they could rest assured and lure the people behind them over. In fact, the two of them had been discovered by others before, including the news of Du Feng's departure.
They spent so much effort to chase Du Feng away because he was too much of a hindrance. This guy was too good at fighting. If he didn't leave, there was no way to plot against Huangfu Xueli. Even if twenty or thirty people came over in a hurry, it wouldn't be enough for Du Feng to deal with.
Now that Du Feng had left, they could only catch up. In fact, after Huangfu Xueli opened the light barrier and jumped into the hole, there was a group of people who went in one after another. After these people jumped in, they also fell quickly. If the two female bodyguards hadn't leaked the news, they would probably have fallen and burned to death.
They were about to reach their destination. As long as they reached their destination, Huangfu Xueli would be useless. Even if the people behind them didn't make a move, the two female bodyguards could also kill Huangfu Xueli and snatch the treasure. Of course, to be safe, it was better to send the location to the backup team.
"We're here!"
Just when the two female bodyguards were distracted, Huangfu Xueli exclaimed in surprise. Just when the two female bodyguards were in a trance, the snow in front of them suddenly disappeared. It was as if God had opened a curtain, and they entered a huge hall from the snow.
Everything felt so unreal. It was still snowy just now, and they couldn't tell the direction. Suddenly, they were in a hall. When they turned around and looked back, not a single snowflake was seen. The faces of the two female bodyguards showed a satisfied smile, and quietly sent out a signal. As long as they got the location, the backup team would catch up soon. Of course, they couldn't rush to make a move. After all, they had only reached the place, but they hadn't gotten the treasure yet.
"Let's go and get the thing."
