The three from the Dark Academy did not start fighting in the end. Ying Xiao led the way at the front, with Lu Ping, Su Tang, and Morin following behind. Leng Qing and Xu Weifeng followed at the back, keeping a distance between them.
They threw the metal flag further and further away, and the clanging sound of it drifting in the wind gradually faded away. Morin raised his head to look at the sky, then looked at Lu Ping and Su Tang: "Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like the wind and snow have lessened? "
"It's not your imagination, it's about to stop." Ying Xiao turned around and said.
"So lucky?" Morin was overjoyed.
"Lucky?" Ying Xiao looked at him, puzzled.
"Isn't it very rare?" Morin said.
"No, it's very common, it often stops." Ying Xiao said.
"Hehe." Su Tang chuckled at the side. Morin was speechless. Ying Xiao looked at the Heaven Queen like Morin before: "Don't get excited even if the snow stops, you won't feel very comfortable."
"It's still better than now, right?" Morin said.
"To each their own." Ying Xiao said.
To each their own? Morin did not pursue the meaning of this, because he was about to find out. The wind and snow stopped really quickly, Morin was just wondering if it was a little too light, but in just a short while, the wind had really disappeared, and the snow had stopped falling.
It was replaced by sunlight.
Without the cover of the snowflakes, the sunlight shone down brightly, and when it was reflected by the vast expanse of snow, it was as if the entire world was suffused with white light. The three felt that this strange scene was novel at first, but after a while, they found that their eyes were starting to feel uncomfortable.
"How is it, do you like this, or do you like the wind and snow?" Ying Xiao turned around and asked.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Morin said.
"It's caused by the light from the snow. It's just a little uncomfortable at first, but you'll go blind after a while. Get used to the light yourself." Ying Xiao said.
For xiuzhe, they only needed to reach the third stratum of perception to adjust to the light. For the present people, it was not a difficult matter. However, at this moment, he had to constantly control the Chong Chi Soul to adapt to the cold. There was still a long way to go, and this was not an easy task. Even Morin became silent and began to pay attention to maintaining a better rhythm with his courage.
The Land of Bitter Cold truly lived up to its name. For ordinary people, this was a land of death. Even for cultivators with lower realms, they could not survive here. Just the daily adversity of resisting the bitter cold was almost exhausting.
The rest of the journey was very quiet. As the sun gradually moved towards the west, the snowy white glow also gradually became much better. At dusk, the snow was reflected in an orange-red color, which actually made people feel a little warm. Morin, who had been tired for the whole day, was overjoyed. Just as he was about to sigh with emotion, he saw Ying Xiao turn his head again with a faint smile.
"Tell me, what's wrong this time?" Morin sighed and said.
"Nothing, this is probably the best time of the day in the Land of Bitter Cold. Unfortunately, it's very short." Ying Xiao said.
"Is that so … …" Lu Ping and the other two looked towards the west. The sun was gradually disappearing from the distant horizon. The short time that Ying Xiao mentioned, was probably the time when the sun completely set?
They guessed correctly. When the sun set and darkness descended, the wind and snow descended once again. And this wind and this snow, were impressively stronger and fiercer than during the day. And unfortunately, the wind was from the north. Lu Ping and the rest had to walk towards the north. Going against the wind, Morin, who did not have the Chong Chi Soul, could not do it. He completely hid behind Lu Ping and followed Lu Ping forward step by step.
In this kind of snowy weather, it was indeed impossible to stay overnight. Morin had some doubts before, but now he completely believed it. He turned around to look behind him. In the pitch-black world, it was impossible to see whether Leng Qing and Xu Weifeng were still behind him. To achieve such conditions of cover with just the darkness of the night and the wind and snow, this was absolutely unimaginable within the Pass. If there were ambushes all around, it would be easy to get close.
"Be careful." Morin pulled on the corner of Lu Ping's clothes and said.
"Oh." Lu Ping responded. His terrifying realm could be seen even in this kind of environment. Morin, whose three spirits were connected, had no choice but to hide behind him to block the wind and snow. Lu Ping, on the other hand, walked with his head held high like he did during the day. The stronger the wind and the heavier the snow seemed to have no effect on him. The one who was more affected was Morin, who was behind him, who was somewhat dragging him down.
However, Morin's worries did not come to pass. That night, besides the wind and snow, there were no other troubles. When the sky was about to brighten, Morin looked behind him and saw that Leng Qing and Xu Weifeng were still at the same distance as during the day. As they walked through the snow, they each gnawed on their rations. They seemed to be accustomed to this kind of painful and difficult living environment.
Morin couldn't help but sympathize with them. His suspicions about them also mostly disappeared. If there really was an ambush, last night's weather was absolutely perfect. How could they, who were often outside the Pass, miss such an opportunity? This could only mean that they didn't have any evil intentions.
"Do you want some wine to warm your body?" Morin shouted to the two behind him.
"You also have wine?" He didn't think that the one to respond to him was Ying Xiao, who seemed to be in high spirits.
"I don't have any, but don't you?" Morin said.
"How could I give them my wine?" Ying Xiao said.
"Didn't you give a bowl to someone yesterday?" Morin said.
"That's because he's about to die. Who knows he's still alive and kicking?" Ying Xiao said.
"You can't say he's still alive and kicking, can you?" Morin looked at Xu Weifeng and said.
Xu Weifeng, who had only rested for one night after his injury, didn't seem to be in a good condition as he climbed up and down the cliffs in the mountains without stumbling. His face was almost as white as snow, and his lips had been frozen blue. His hands were trembling as he grabbed the rations and put them into his mouth. It seemed that he would fall down at any time. But after hearing Morin's words, he raised his head and smiled at them. "Am I not alive and kicking?"
Leng Qing, who kept a distance from him, glanced at him, but didn't show the slightest sympathy and continued to walk on his own path.
At this moment, Lu Ping looked back at him and asked, "Is it really possible?"
"No pressure at all." Xu Weifeng said.
Lu Ping nodded and didn't say anything.
"How much longer do we have to walk?" Su Tang asked Ying Xiao.
"Our walking speed is still okay. If we keep it up, we can arrive before dark." Ying Xiao said.
"I'm afraid I can't keep it up." Morin smiled bitterly. Without the Soul of Strength, his physical consumption had reached the limit.
"I'll help you keep it up." Lu Ping said as he picked him up.
"Can't I use my back?" Morin wasn't polite or ashamed, but he was very dissatisfied with Lu Ping's technique.
"Yes." Lu Ping said as he threw Morin onto his back. Su Tang saw this and couldn't help but smile. More than four years ago, Lu Ping carried her on his back in this snowfield.
"Isn't it like that time?" As if he knew what Su Tang was thinking, Lu Ping suddenly said.
"You're much taller than that time." Su Tang laughed.
"Not only taller, but also stronger." Lu Ping said.
"I hope this trip won't be in vain." Su Tang said.
