This was really strange. How could such a good thing happen in this world?
Lena held a piece of jerky in her left hand and a piece of roasted potato in her right hand. She began to chew on them. These things were found in the bag on the horse's back. There were also a lot of women's clothes. This was simply sending charcoal in the snowy weather. It gave Reina some food and clothes. The previous battle had caused her clothes to be torn a lot. They were neither beautiful nor warm.
If she had not experienced so many things, she would have thought that there was a god in this world and that there was fate.
But the truth was that the horse was lost, or its owner had died in the mountains. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Reina touched the horse's hair. She suddenly found a few bloody wounds on the back of the horse's buttocks, as if someone had stabbed it with a dagger. Reina touched the wounds. The horse anxiously paced left and right, but Reina held the reins tightly. It could not go anywhere.
"That's too much. What kind of person would do such a thing? Don't move, I'll help you heal it."
Although it was healed, Reina was not good at healing magic. She could heal the wounds on the body, but that was another extreme method. Healing magic allowed the human body to heal at an extreme speed.
Reina put her hand on the horse's wound. A faint glow of magic emitted. The horse seemed to feel very comfortable. Its anxious mood gradually eased, and it looked at Reina with its big eyes.
Soon, the bruised wound no longer flowed pale yellow pus. Its pain was also relieved. The horse excitedly shook its tail and head, as if to express its gratitude.
"Hehehe ~ Okay, okay, if you want to thank me, then give me a ride."
Reina smiled as she fed it the dried grass she found in its backpack. This was not enough at all, but there was no need to worry. It would stick its head into the snow or use its hooves to dig out some grass roots to eat.
"Let's go. It's too cold here. We need to move so that we won't freeze."
After saying that, Reina turned over and jumped on the horse's back. She had learned how to ride a horse in the mountains. She squeezed her legs, and the horse trotted towards the snowy mountain.
…
It was dark and cold here. Lilith and the others did not know how much time had passed. They huddled together to get through the night.
Mei Li was awoken by a blinding light. She didn't know when she was covered by a fur cloak. That was Fina's. She hurriedly looked and found that Fina had already woken up. Only she and You Zhan were still sleeping.
"I-I'm sorry, I overslept."
She hurriedly stood up and suddenly felt dizzy.
She hadn't had a good meal all day. She felt exhausted, cold, and hungry.
"It's fine. Lilith and I explored the passage ahead, and we found the exit."
Hearing this, Mei Li became excited.
"Then we can get out!"
Staying underground was very depressing. A day felt like an eternity to her. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would go crazy.
The blonde You Cheng quietly opened her eyes. She rarely spoke now. It was as if she had become a different person. She seemed to have become more obedient. Mei Li was still a little estranged from her, but this was good. At least she wouldn't cause trouble.
"But there are evil spirits outside the exit, and the so-called exit is just a small hole. If we blow it up, it will definitely attract the attention of the evil spirits around."
Lilith poured a bucket of cold water.
There were so many enemies in the battle. There were only two of them, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger. The horse was also released, bringing Mei Li and You Cheng. How could they escape from the hands of the dead? They would not be tired, thirsty, or hungry.
Fina seemed to sense the uneasiness in Mei Li's heart. She probably wanted everyone to abandon her. Fina put her hand on her shoulder and said, "I know the situation is bad, but it's not that there's no way out. We can't give up hope."
"But I'll only drag you down."
"You'll only drag yourself down. Listen, Mei Li. Some things seem hopeless, just like when I went down the mountain this time."
Mei Li looked at Fina. Her eyes were very determined. She wanted to be as strong as Fina.
"I know the world is huge. It's hard to find a missing person in such a huge world. Maybe I'll fail, but I won't give up. I believe that everything I've done is meaningful. Even if I die in a foreign land, I can still return to the mountain proudly and face my ancestors …" "I'm not sure if I'm going to succeed or not.
Ancestors. Mei Li thought of her parents. They had died in the attack of the evil spirits. At that moment, Mei Li regretted it. She regretted not reconciling with them.
"Yes, I won't give up. I will definitely follow you."
Mei Li gritted her teeth and stood up. Fina smiled and nodded. She turned to look at You Cheng. You Cheng smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
Was she telling the truth? Perhaps only she knew.
Fina didn't say anything. She looked at Lilith.
"Let's go, while we can still walk."
…
Snowflakes fluttered. Reina sat on the horse's back and yawned. The horse galloped slowly. It was very easy to walk without legs, but Reina suddenly felt sleepy.
However, at that moment, the horse neighed, startling Reina awake.
"What's wrong?"
She looked around. The view of the mountains was very bad. There were large rocks everywhere. Some had been weathered into strange shapes, like a mushroom, an awl, and a spoon. At this moment, the horse changed its direction. Linnai felt that it was strange. She saw the horse bring Linnai behind a rock. There was no snow there, and there was a small cave against the wind. Inside the cave, there was a black dog shivering.
"A dog?"
This was a dog, not a wolf. Wolves didn't have such black fur and were not that small. Reina had seen wolves and dogs before. She could distinguish between the two.
Strange. Why were there horses and dogs on this mountain? Could it be that a herdsman got lost here?
She put her hand in and the black dog suddenly woke up. It looked at Reina with uneasiness and vigilance. Reina made a squeaking sound and reached out her hand, trying to make it let down its guard. However, this method failed. It refused to come out, afraid that Reina would eat it.
Finally, she thought of a good idea. She took out a piece of jerky from the bag on the horse's back. She didn't know if it was donkey meat or horse meat. She took a bite and threw it in front of the black dog. It was obviously very hungry. After smelling the cold meat, it didn't think for long before it opened its mouth and wolfed it down.
Then it turned its head and looked at Reina with pitiful eyes.
"I don't have that much patience. If you don't come out, I'm leaving."
Reina said to it. She knew that the dog couldn't understand what she was saying. She took a step back and pretended to leave.
However, after a while, she turned around and found the weak black dog standing quietly behind her.
