After leaving the Qiuqiu people's cave, Jiang Bai walked up the path that led to the top. From time to time, ice picks fell from above. Some hit the umbrella, some hit the ice, and some hit the road ahead.
.
If it weren't for the fact that these ice picks were naturally generated, Jiang Bai would have suspected that they were being manipulated, as if they wouldn't give up until they hit him.
After dodging numerous hidden weapons, Jiang Bai finally reached the top of the cave and saw the sky outside the cave.
However, this road did not lead to the top of the mountain as expected. Instead, it went to another direction of the snow-capped mountains, and there was no way to continue forward.
Jiang Bai walked out of the cave and saw a place similar to an altar. There were some characters painted on the ground that Jiang Bai couldn't understand, and several long-extinguished fires were placed around it.
Jiang Bai turned around and found a short stone tablet.
I don't know how long this stone tablet has been here. It was covered with a thick layer of snow, which was very inconspicuous. Jiang Bai cleaned the snow on it and after distinguishing it for a long time, he pieced together a sentence.
".Attempts were made to heal the earth's veins, but the tree died and the princess was buried sparsely."
Healing ley lines? Aren't ley lines a kind of conceptual network? Can they still be polluted? The tree is dead? What is a tree? It shouldn't refer to an ordinary tree, but is it a proxy for something special?
The princess was buried lightly? Was she buried here? Which country was the princess from? Since she was a princess, why was she buried lightly?
The more Jiang Bai read these few words in the inscription, the more doubtful he became.
He just felt that the words above were like a riddle. He could understand them separately, but he couldn't understand them together.
He put the stone tablet aside temporarily and looked around.
There is no other road here except this open space in the mountain col, and below, there is a cliff.
The vast wind and snow covered the sky, making the visibility extremely poor.
Jiang Bai tried to look up, but could see nothing except thick rocks covered by ice.
He picked up the four-square scripture instrument that had been hanging on his waist. The pointer on it was still pointing to the top of the mountain. He was still a long way away from the top of the mountain.
There is no road here, so Jiang Bai can only go back the same way he came to see if there are any other exits in the cave.
When he finally found a way out, it was already pitch black outside.
"Is it so late?"
There was nothing but wind and snow all around, and there was no moon or stars in sight, so there was no way to tell the time.
"I just said that I always felt that something was missing. It turned out that the clock was missing!" Jiang Bai slapped his head, feeling a little annoyed.
In the past, the hall master's pedestrian clock was always there when he went out. He never thought of preparing a clock, so now he has no way to judge the time.
Now there was nothing he could do about it, so he returned to the cave where there was no wind or snow, lit a fire, and prepared to eat and rest.
Jiang Bai sat cross-legged in front of the fire, looking at the howling wind and snow outside, and took a sip of wine.
The surroundings were not quiet, there was the sound of howling wind and snow, the whine of wind blowing through the cave, the crackle of burning firewood, and the gurgling sound of boiling water.
But even though it was so noisy, there was no one else around except Jiang Bai, and there was a feeling of loneliness as if there was only one person in the world.
Jiang Bai thought that if he had not met Hu Tao and not joined the Rebirth Hall, he would probably have been wandering in this world without companions or friends, lonely and boring.
He took another sip of wine, and the burning sensation spread from his throat throughout his body, making his body feel a little warm.
"Next time I go out for a long trip, I must pull Hutao up. Even if she is teased hard, I have to tease her until she agrees. There is no one to talk to here. It's so boring to be alone."
Jiang Bai murmured in a low voice, with a drunken blush appearing on his cheeks.
"Master, Master, I'm so bored."
Hutao, who was lying on the bed getting ready to sleep, sneezed several times in a row.
"It must be that guy Jiang Bai who is talking about me!"
She sat up and looked through the window in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.
"It's been almost two days since he went to the snowy mountains. I don't know how he is doing. I miss him so much when I can't see him all of a sudden."
The little ghost came out of her body and landed on her head like a white hat.
It also misses that guy a little bit
It was getting dark at some point, Jiang Bai came out of the coffin and stretched out.
The snow continues to fall outside, but it's not as heavy as yesterday.
Jiang Bai washed up, finished breakfast, and continued to set off.
It has been almost two days since we set off from Liyue Port. This snow-capped mountain is really not that big. Even with the Sifang Jingyi pointing the way, Jiang Bai has not yet found a way to the top of the mountain.
It’s no wonder that those adventurers can spend several years or even more than ten years on this snow-capped mountain, because it is really not an easy task to explore this snow-capped mountain.
He walked forward along the rugged road in the mountains. He didn't know how long he walked and where he went. The wind and snow gradually disappeared and his vision broadened.
Jiang Bai saw an environment that seemed abnormal and did not look like a scene formed by normal rocks.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw that it was a huge skeleton that had sunk into the mountain. The other parts were either buried by the wind and snow or assimilated by the rocks, leaving only the huge ribs that originally supported the body.
These ribs are inserted diagonally into the rock one by one, exuding a somewhat evil aura, making people afraid to approach them at will.
"What is that?"
Jiang Bai had a hard time imagining what kind of creature could be so huge.
Out of curiosity, he didn't care whether he would deviate from the original path. He found a wooden board as a sled and slid into the valley made of huge bones.
Entering the valley, the already shocking skeleton grew larger and larger in sight. Jiang Bai stood under a skeleton and tried to hug it, but he couldn't even hug it half a circle.
"How did such a huge creature die in the snowy mountains?"
He knocked on the skeleton, and it made a dull sound.
He walked forward along the path of the skeleton, trying to analyze what the skeleton looked like in front of him. As he walked, a red ore gradually appeared in his field of vision. He also saw this kind of ore in other places in the snow-capped mountains.
However, I also tried to dig out a piece, but other than serving as a hand warmer, I found no other uses.
Moreover, this ore is like ice, which cannot be carried for a long time. Once it leaves the ground where it grows, it will melt and disappear after a while.
But this kind of ore gradually became abundant here, scattered on the white snow, like spilled blood.
"The further you go this way, the smell of evil seems to be getting stronger."
Jiang Bai walked forward in the direction where there were more ores, and entered a small cave covered with ice and snow. The cave was full of red ores, and a chaotic and evil aura permeated it.
At the end of the cave, there is a beating, bright red huge heart.
A figure stood in front of the huge heart and looked back when he heard the footsteps.
It’s the last day of the month, and your monthly votes will disappear if you don’t vote!
