The Great Snowy Mountain was the tallest and largest mountain range in the vast Land of Chaos, spanning millions of miles. It was also one of the most difficult and dangerous places to cross since ancient times. This huge mountain range was windy and snowy all year round, and the weather was harsh. At the same time, there were many ferocious and powerful demonic beasts. For many years, no one had been able to pass through this barrier between the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness.
However, in the hearts of the people from both the North and the South, this Great Snow Mountain had a completely different meaning. The human race in the North regarded it as the most dangerous place in the world. They regarded it as the most dangerous place in the world. But, apart from that, they didn't have any other associations. But, among the barbarian tribes in the Southern Wilderness, they generally regarded this towering mountain range as a holy and lofty divine mountain. Many barbarians even believed that the God they believed in might live on the top of the Great Snow Mountain.
Lu Chen only learned of this difference after he came to the Southern Wilderness. After all, the Northern and Southern Tribes had been separated by the Land of Chaos for thousands of years. Even if there were some surviving barbarian tribes in the Land of Chaos, it was basically impossible for them to have any contact with the Human Race.
When they met, they would fight to the death. How could they have the leisure to exchange cultural views?
And the road that Huo Yan told Lu Chen about to return to the North happened to be in this Great Snowy Mountain.
...
The Great Snowy Mountain was windy and snowy all year round, and the weather was extremely harsh. Especially in the depths of the mountain range, the temperature plummeted. Not to mention that ordinary people could not survive here, even cultivators with cultivation would find it very difficult to survive here. Not to mention that the Great Snowy Mountain was filled with tyrannical demonic beasts whose strength far exceeded that of the outside world.
According to the legends of the Human Race, any demonic beast that had grown up in the Great Snowy Mountain was almost as strong as a human Yuanying Stage Enlightened Master. Moreover, it was said that in the deepest parts of the Great Snowy Mountain, there were a few ancient species that had been left behind from ancient times. They had long been extinct in the outside world, and only survived in the Great Snowy Mountain. Such a king of demonic beasts was extremely powerful. It was said that they were not weaker than a human Deity Stage Enlightened Master, or even stronger.
It was precisely because such terrifying Demon Beasts resided here that no one dared to explore the depths of the Demon Beasts since ancient times until now. There were always a few brave people who were brave enough to venture into the Demon Beasts, but none of them returned.
It was reasonable to say that it was impossible to pass through such a dangerous place. However, the secret that Huo Yan revealed to Lu Chen that day gave him a glimmer of hope. First of all, there were three days in a year where the wind and snow would stop. Second, that valley was obviously connected to the north and south. Otherwise, there was no way to explain what Huo Yan had said about seeing a demonic beast holding a human corpse in its mouth.
Lu Chen had thought about this trip for a long time, but in the end, he still decided to take a gamble.
Even though there were people and there were people, Lu Chen of people, the Snowy Of Snowy Mountain, they were Mountain.
As for the way back, Lu Chen didn't really have much of a choice, even though the snowy mountains were extremely dangerous. When he fell into the Longchuan, he encountered an extremely terrifying beast and was forced to hide in the mysterious seed. Then, he was washed away by the Longchuan River to the Southern Wilderness. However, if he wanted to go back, this path was obviously not possible.
Because the river flowed all the way into the Chaos Abyss, an even more terrifying place. Lu Chen did not think that he had the ability to survive in that terrifying place. Going upstream was also not reliable. He had gone to check and found that the upper reaches of the Longchuan River were extremely wide. He could not even see the edge of the other side. It was not like a river, but more like a vast ocean. If he wanted to go there, he had to cross the Longchuan River. However, he had already experienced the dangers of the river once. No matter what, whether it was him or Atsu, he did not want to fall into the river a second time.
At least when he was walking on land, he could still have some reaction and think of a way. He was not completely helpless in the water. In the end, he could only hide in the seed and face the situation where he knew nothing about the outside world and came out with the idea of leaving his life to fate.
"And to be honest, don't you think it's strange?" Lu Chen used his hands to block the wind and snow in front of him. He lowered his body even more, almost sticking to the back of Hei Lang Atsu. At the same time, he muttered.
At this moment, his whole body was lying on the back of Atsu. Compared to a human like him, Hei Lang Atsu was much more adapted to the environment of the Great Snowy Mountain. Climbing mountains and wading rivers, braving the wind and snow, no matter how rugged the mountain road was, Atsu walked almost like it was walking on flat ground. It was unusually easy.
This made Lu Chen, who was originally very worried, overjoyed. He could not help but sigh that raising such a lazy dog for so many years was really not a waste. As the saying goes, raising a dog for many years is to use it for a moment!
However, as they gradually went deeper into the Great Snowy Mountain, the wind and snow became stronger, and the mountain road became more rugged and dangerous. Even though Atsu was a monster that had already advanced, it gradually began to become a little difficult to walk. But in general, they were still much more relaxed than ordinary people.
At least according to the instructions given by Huo Yan before they separated, this place was not too far from the secret canyon that he mentioned.
Struggling to move forward in the howling and whistling wind and snow, Atsu's black fur seemed to have almost been dyed white, even the huge dog's head had a lot of snow on it. Its two ears moved a little, and it turned back to look at Lu Chen. There was some unfriendly emotion in its eyes, probably contempt.
Lu Chen did not care about it, and only said to himself, "Look, the Great Snowy Mountain is windy and snowy, and it is bitterly cold all year round. It is obviously the most difficult place to live, but why are there so many powerful monsters gathered here?"
Atsu's footsteps paused slightly, and then it once again barked unhappily, as if to say, "This dog is in a hurry, I don't have time to think so much."
Lu Chen, on the other hand, raised his head, and looked through the wind and snow at the majestic mountain in the distance. He could not even see the peak of the mountain, and said to himself, "There must be something strange about this place."
Ever since they entered the Great Snowy Mountain, they had, of course, encountered many monsters along the way, but they, a man and a dog, managed to deal with them one by one.
Atsu itself was a powerful monster, and when monsters that were weaker than it approached, most of them would be scared away. There were a few monsters that were not weaker than it, and some were even stronger than it, but either Lu Chen would help them, or they would use all kinds of strange methods to defeat those monsters, or if even he could not deal with them, they would simply run away.
In short, their experience along the way was that monsters that were weaker than them naturally could not defeat them, and monsters that were stronger than them, could not outrun Atsu. Therefore, they stumbled along the way, but unexpectedly, they entered the depths of the Great Snowy Mountain safely.
However, although everything seemed to be going very smoothly, Lu Chen was still a little worried in his heart. That was, they should not have encountered the most powerful and terrifying monsters in the legends.
No one knew where the prehistoric monsters, which were said to be as powerful as Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Monarchs, were hiding in the Great Snowy Mountain.
Of course, if they could avoid meeting such terrifying monsters, of course, it would be better not to. At least for now, it seemed that Lu Chen and Atsu were quite lucky. In the evening of this day, they finally found the canyon hidden in the depths of the Great Snowy Mountain.
No one knew how long it had been since anyone came here. The open space on the periphery of the canyon was already piled up with almost waist-high snow, which made it particularly difficult for Atsu and Lu Chen to walk. However, compared to what they saw when they stuck their heads out to look into the canyon, it was as beautiful as heaven.
It was a bottomless valley.
Perhaps there was a strange change in the earth veins many years ago, which created such a strange place in the depths of the Great Snowy Mountain. Below the canyon was a huge bottomless crack. It was pitch-black, and no one knew where it led to. Only the whistling and swirling wind and snow covered most of the huge crack in the ground.
On both sides of the canyon were precipices that were tens of thousands of feet high, and it was difficult for apes and monkeys to climb. Only on one side of the precipice, as if it was the work of the gods, there was a natural precipice that was less than two feet wide, and some of the narrowest parts were less than one foot wide.
The wind and snow were whistling, and behind the wind and snow, there seemed to be endless darkness.
Lu Chen and Atsu stood there for a long time without saying anything. After a while, Lu Chen let out a long sigh and said, "Let's take a rest and wait for the wind and snow to stop."
