The old man and the woman didn't have anything to pack, and Lu Chen didn't have anything to prepare either. He had already bought food the day before, so he could leave the city directly.
The group went east and left Zhennan City.
"Ahem, young man, you're going the wrong way. It's this way!" The old man stopped Lu Chen, who was leading the way.
He didn't even know the way, yet he found such a bodyguard. It was really unreliable.
Lu Chen could only follow behind the two.
"Hey, Uncle, Miss, how should I address you?"
"You can call me Grand Uncle. She … You don't have to talk to her. If you have any questions, just ask me," the Grand Uncle said.
So cold. He doesn't even want to talk to me … However, Lu Chen didn't care.
The other party didn't ask Lu Chen how to address him. It seemed that they weren't interested in knowing.
"Grand Uncle, why do you have to go through the snow mountain? If you're in a hurry, you can go ahead," Lu Chen asked.
"Don't you know the rules? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. We know what we're doing. You just have to protect our safety! "The Grand Uncle's tone was a bit stiff.
Lu Chen shook his head. It seemed that they didn't think much of him. They were probably just trying their luck. Anyway, he would pay when he got the goods, so they didn't lose anything.
Anyway, it really had nothing to do with him. His purpose was to see if he could meet the eight-tailed snow fox and earn some cash withdrawal tickets.
After walking for a few miles, the surrounding air gradually became cold. A layer of frost had already appeared on the surrounding foothills.
"The temperature changed so quickly." Lu Chen sighed.
The old man raised his hand and motioned for Lu Chen to stop. "Xue 'er, we're about to enter the snow mountain. Get ready."
"Okay." The girl and the Grand Uncle took off their cloaks.
It was interesting. Normal people would put on clothes when they were in the snow, but cultivators would take off their clothes … Actually, for cultivators, with their physical strength, this low temperature was completely bearable. Taking off their clothes should mean that they were ready to fight at any time!
Their badges were exposed as well.
The girl was actually a four-star great cultivator! The Grand Uncle's badge was even more exaggerated. Lu Chen had never seen it before!
"One-star earth cultivator?" Lu Chen said in surprise.
In contrast, Lu Chen's five-star wild cultivator was just here to join in the fun.
"Damn, your levels are so high … Grand Uncle, what is the rank of one-star earth cultivators?" Lu Chen was in a good mood and asked curiously.
"You'll know when you get there." Tai Shu didn't seem to be in the mood to talk about this with Lu Chen. He said snappily, "Kid, if you encounter Hachibi and dare to run first, I'll kill you first!"
Lu Chen blinked his eyes, then smiled and said, "Impossible, impossible. I have professional ethics. Don't worry, I will never run first."
Grand Uncle's, Grand Uncle's the Grand Uncle, is Grand's Grand Grand Grand Grand Uncle.....
"Grand Uncle, why don't we let him go now? He's too weak and useless." The Grand Uncle shook his head and said, "Grand Uncle, why don't we let him go now?"
The Grand Uncle thought for a while and shook his head. "You know my injury. Originally, I wanted to recruit a seven-star great cultivator. That way, we still have a chance. But now, if we encounter an eight-tailed beast, I can't win alone. I can only say that one more person means one more chance to escape. If it doesn't work, we can let him be cannon fodder."
"Grand Uncle, although that guy is a bit unlikable, using him as cannon fodder, isn't it a bit …"
The Grand Uncle knew Xue 'er too well. She didn't want that silly boy to follow them because she was soft-hearted.
"Xue 'er, look at the situation. Your safety is the most important thing now! One person dying is better than hundreds of thousands or millions of people dying! If I'm in my best condition, I naturally won't let this innocent boy die with me. But … but I'm old … "
"Grand Uncle!" Xue 'er couldn't bear to look at the Grand Uncle. If it weren't for him, she would have died countless times.
Since she was young, the Grand Uncle had saved her countless times. He called himself an old servant, but in Xue 'er's heart, even her biological grandfather was inferior to him. How could she bear to see him blame himself?
"Grand Uncle, Xue 'er will listen to your arrangements!"
The Grand Uncle looked back at Lu Chen. That guy was staring at the snow mountain in a daze. He felt that he wasn't smart … The Grand Uncle sighed. It seemed that he could only be cannon fodder.
After discussing, the two returned to Lu Chen's side. "Okay, let's go."
Lu Chen also didn't know that he had been defined as cannon fodder. His heart was full of expectations for the Seven Magical Beast Generals as he followed the two.
After walking for a few more miles, an endless mountain range appeared in front of the three of them. At this time, the temperature had already dropped below zero, and the ground was frozen solid. Looking into the distance, there was already snow not far away. Further away, it had already begun to be covered in white snow.
"This is the snow mountain?"
"Yes, after crossing this mountain, your mission is over." The Grand Uncle said, "Entering the snow mountain is the Eight Tails' territory. In addition to the Eight Tails, there are many magical beasts here. We can't use mounts to pass through here, so let's hurry. "
Lu Chen nodded. "Okay, let's go."
As the three of them went deeper into the snow mountain, the snow on the ground became deeper and deeper. In the vast expanse of white snow, only their footsteps were left.
The cold wind whistled, and the snowflakes blew on their faces. Lu Chen's beautiful face was covered in a layer of frost.
"Damn, this road is really difficult." Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't know if it was because the three of them were lucky, but they didn't encounter any magical beasts until nightfall.
After walking for half a day, the three of them rested under a solid rock.
The Grand Uncle had brought a lot of dry wood and cleared out a place to set up a fire. The fire finally brought a trace of warmth.
The girl and the Grand Uncle sat together, eating the dry food they had brought. Lu Chen was focused on roasting fish over the fire.
Lu Chen's cooking and fishing skills had risen quite high. Now, his cooking skills were not inferior to Chasing Cloud's.
"Hey, want some roasted fish?" Lu Chen called out.
"No." The Grand Uncle refused.
Lu Chen shook his head. The two of them were especially vigilant. He didn't know their identities.
After dinner, Lu Chen said to the two, "Then you two rest. I'll be on night duty."
This time, the two of them didn't say anything. The Grand Uncle closed his eyes to rest. The girl should have really fallen asleep.
Lu Chen stood on the rock above, looking at the sea of snow in the night.
"Eight Tails, Eight Tails, when will you appear!" Lu Chen shook his head.
At this moment, in the surrounding snow, several pairs of dark green "Night Pearls" flashed! They were approaching them step by step.
Lu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes. Those were obviously not Night Pearls. They were emitting a powerful aura.
Lu Chen stood up and slightly narrowed his eyes. Legendary magical beasts? Or should it be called "Dragon Seed"? In short, after coming to the Fifth Layer of Heaven for so long, except for the little golden carp, this should be the first time he encountered one.
Then let's meet them!
"Night Flash Shadow!" In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen had disappeared!
