In the temporary stable built in the camp, Qi Rusong tightened the leather strap on the saddle, while the war horse neighed softly.

"Don't be afraid!" he reassured it softly.

The cold wind whispered in the camp, like the cold death air attacking him, but he ignored it. He tied the bedding onto the saddle, then turned and looked behind him.

"Su Yu, go back." He said.

"No, please, let me follow you." The girl begged.

He mounted his horse, held the reins tightly, turned his horse around, and faced the night.

"Listen to me, you stay here. Lord Marvin will arrange for someone to take care of you."

"No, I want to go with you."

A full moon shone in from behind her shoulder, casting a soft shadow.

I have to be cruel, he told himself. "Get out of the way. I can't always protect you."

"I don't need your protection, I have already cultivated spiritual energy."

"Aura!" It must be Stone Snake's system, he thought to himself.

"Little sister, don't brag." A demon hunter laughed. "What we are facing are human-eating demons."

"Bragging? Do you dare to duel with me?"

"I don't dare. If I beat you, people would say that I bully the little girl. If I win, my face will be shameless..."

Before he could finish his words, only a thud was heard.

The demon hunter was knocked to the ground, and a thin line of thin ice appeared on his chest.

"[Water Spirit Cultivator]?" Another tall and thin demon hunter exclaimed.

"How about it? Your men are not as good as me!"

The system of the time traveler does indeed have some tricks. A weak woman like Su Yu can actually gain the strength of [Water Spirit Primary Level] in just a few days.

Seeing this situation, Stone Snake also advised, "Why don't you take her with you?"

"No," Qi Rusong forced himself to be rough, "Su Yu, you go away, or I will step on you."

"Don't get out of the way! You won't do that, Brother Qi."

Qi Rusong kicked his legs, and the white horse immediately galloped towards the door. In an instant, Su Yu stood on the spot, her face as round and white as the full moon behind her.

At the last moment when the men and horses were about to collide, as Qi Rushong expected, she jumped away, staggered, and fell to the ground.

"Qi Rushong!" Su Yu struggled to get up and screamed angrily, "I must follow you. You can't get rid of me!"

As she said that, she burst out with powerful spiritual power from nowhere and pulled down a demon hunter. Then she got on her horse and chased after him.

Damn it, such a violent little loli... Stone Snake secretly thought. He then cleared his throat and ordered: "What are you watching for? Follow me!"

Qi Rusong rode his white war horse all the way, and Su Yu followed closely. It was still dark when they set off, and they didn't rest during the journey. When they were hungry, they slowed down and ate some dry food on the horse.

It wasn't until nightfall that they found a hillside to camp.

On the third day, the sharp-eyed Su Yu saw a large fire not far away, which attracted their attention.

The bonfire in the night shines on the hillside on the other side, like falling stars. In fact, it is brighter than the stars, but it never twinkles. Sometimes it swells and stretches, and sometimes it becomes dark and gloomy, like distant fireworks, weak and dim.

They were so high up that they had a clear view of the gorge mouth.

"The demon clan is right there," a demon hunter of medium stature, in his thirties, pointed forward and said. This person's name is Qin Ke, [Level 3 Swordsman].

Qi Rusong took a closer look and saw that there were eight people at the campfire. They looked like the demon clan's reconnaissance force.

"So blatantly, what are these monsters doing?" Stone Snake said, "Aren't you afraid of our sneak attacks?"

"Fire is the source of life on the snow-capped mountains," Qi Rushong said, "and it is also the way to death." Following his instructions, the team no longer used open flames since they entered the mountainous area.

Everyone ate cold dried meat, steamed buns and pickled vegetables. When sleeping, they crowded together under cloaks and furs to keep each other warm. Su Yu was the only woman in the team, so she always endured the severe cold alone.

"They must be equipped with horns." Qin Ke said.

"A trumpet they can never blow." Stone Snake said: "Go down and kill them. Leave a living mouth to tell the truth."

"Lord Stone Snake, this is quite difficult!" Qin Ke said.

While observing the distant flames through the cracks in the rocks that shielded us. The sky was cloudless, and the jagged peaks climbed up and up in darkness until they reached the top. The extreme ice and snow surrounding the top gave off a pale glow in the moonlight.

"If you want to climb down from here, if you are not careful, it will be a long fall."

"What are you afraid of? I'll be the first to go down!" Stone Snake volunteered.

"I'm going to be the second one, and there will be six more people," Qi Rushong said, "Eight against eight, the others stay here."

"Count me in!" Qin Ke said.

Everyone stepped forward. Qi Rusong selected five skilled demon hunters and said, "Let's get started."

Several people each took a large roll of rope. Qin Ke also brought a bag of iron nails and a small hammer with a thick felt on the top.

Before setting off, Su Yu also wanted to go with them. Qi Rushong naturally refused, "I can't let you go this time," he ordered.

So the stone snake took the lead, walking in the dark shadows of the dark rocks, towards the cliff, leaving a curved track.

His breath was frosty in the dark air. Qi Rusong, who was not wearing armor, felt naked and helpless. Fortunately, it was easier to move. The journey was difficult and slow, because if he was in a hurry, he would risk breaking his knees or even greater risks.

He relied on instinct to reach down step by step, taking every step carefully and being extra cautious.

Gray Wind Canyon is a long list of veritable canyons, long and winding, sometimes surrounding the rolling snow-capped mountains, and sometimes becoming hidden canyons that cannot be seen from the sun.

The wind here is like a razor, screaming in the cold night. There are only a few trees here, and they are short and insignificant, crowded in the rock cracks and cracks.

There are often layers of rock flakes hanging above the trail, and icicles hanging on the edges, which look like snow-white fangs from a distance.

They walked along the path for a long time, snaking, winding, and turning on the side of the mountain, and kept going up and up. At some point, the mountains covered each other, and there was no way to see the bonfire in the distance, but as long as they walked on, it would appear again in front of them.

.

The cold wind became so fierce that he could only use all his strength to move and cling to the cliff.

After an hour of climbing, they finally reached their destination.

The demon clan built the campfire in a shallow depression above the narrowest part of the valley entrance. There was a vertical rock pillar below it, and the mountain wall behind it blocked the strong wind. The demon hunter took advantage of the wind break wall to crawl slowly and crawl forward until he looked down at his opponent.

.

Six of the eight people on the other side were already asleep. They huddled tightly, hugging each other for warmth.

The legendary monsters are not much different from humans. The only difference is that the monsters are taller, have light green or blue skin, and have fangs exposed in their mouths.

The other two demon tribes were watching for the wind. Although there was nothing to see now, only the endless darkness surrounding the snow-covered peaks, they did not relax. The horn was on him.

We have to find a way to capture them...
