Chapter 3209 Snow Phoenix

The further north we go, the colder it gets. It's okay for us since we're all practitioners. Xiaoguai doesn't have any practice at all, and his brother is just a mediocre one. He can be nearly gored to death by the prey when he tries to catch it. We're just a little bit better than ordinary people.

If it weren't for the fact that he is Xiaoguai's younger brother, we really wouldn't want to carry this burden with us.

They rode non-stop for four or five days along the way, and even passed through the Yimu Kingdom before arriving near Youdu Mountain.

This place is really cold. I estimate it is at least minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.

The key point is that this is just the edge of Youdu Mountain. Once you go deeper into it, it will probably be extremely cold and gloomy.

I'm actually fine, mainly because the method I practiced was the Nine Ice Swords. I'm quite adaptable to this kind of environment. If I meet any opponent in Youdu Mountain, then that opponent would be in trouble.

This place can be said to be my home ground. I can make use of all the icy power I see around me.

When they first arrived near Youdu Mountain, Xiaoguai and her brother were so cold that they could not stand it. The road ahead was covered with snow, and the mounts that Prince Mengling gave us could not travel here.

So we released all those mounts, letting them return to nature and fend for themselves.

Xiaoguai and her brother were so cold that I took out two very thick down jackets and hats from the Dragon Tiger Mirror and put them on them, as well as snow boots and glasses. I gave them a complete set of equipment.

In this way, they can barely follow us.

We walked in the snow for most of the day and it was already dark, so we had to take out the tent and set it up in the snow. There was no grass here and no firewood. But it didn't matter, because the sloppy Taoist priest still had charcoal in his Qiankun Eight Treasures Bag, which we could use to start a fire.

It was a very cold day and a group of us sat together while snowflakes kept falling from the sky.

The sloppy Taoist priest even took out his guitar and sang a song for us amidst the falling snow.

When Xiaopang heard the noise, he had a conditioned reflex and immediately shook his head and swayed wildly, making us all laugh so hard that we fell over.

At this time, I inadvertently glanced in the direction of Xiaoguai and found that her eyes were always fixed in the direction of Kasan.

But Kasan never even looked at Xiaoguai.

Xiaoguai is really well-behaved. After being obviously rejected by Kasan several times, she suppressed all her feelings deep in her heart. Only when no one is paying attention to her will she stare at Kasan with a smile on her lips, but there is some sadness in her eyes.

She knew that once we reached that desolate place, we would part ways and perhaps never see each other again.

We boiled some hot water and took out some food and drinks. After heating them up and eating and drinking our fill, we each went back to our tents to sleep.

Although the king of the Di Ru country said that there are no living things in the Youdu Mountain, we still have to be on guard. When we sleep, I release the charm spirit and let her help us to be alert to the situation around us so that we can respond in time if there is any disturbance.

Fortunately, after a good night's sleep, nothing happened, so we got up during the day and continued our journey.

We walked for another half a day. The further we went, the more difficult the road became. This was because the snow was soft and kept falling. Suddenly, a snow hole would appear and people would fall into it.

Xiaopang was the first person to fall into the snow hole. It took us a lot of effort to pull him out of the snow hole.

But we still have a long distance to go before we reach Youdu Mountain.

In order to facilitate our journey, I simply waved the Shengxie Sword in my hand, and condensed two huge ice men about six or seven meters tall to lead the way for us.

With these two huge ice men, the ground in front of us can be made more solid, making it much more convenient for us to follow the ice men.

Even if they fell into a snow hole, the ice men could climb out by themselves.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to cross this damn place. First of all, they have to ensure sufficient food, keep warm, and be prepared for all kinds of unexpected situations.

In this way, we walked for another two days before we reached the foot of Youdu Mountain. Looking up, we could not see the end of Youdu Mountain at all, and the mountain was very steep.

The whole mountain was desolate, shrouded in white, with clouds and mist lingering halfway up the mountain. Just looking at it made people feel despair.

It feels like this mountain is higher than the Himalayas.

There should be no problem for us, but I’m worried that Xiaoguai and her brother can’t hold on.

In desperation, I had to release Ziba and the divine beast Gongfu. These two divine beasts, one person led one, and they climbed up with us.

There was no path to walk on the mountain. I felt like my eyes were going blind. Everything around me was white and I was so dizzy that tears were streaming down my face.

After climbing for a whole day, it felt like I hadn't even climbed one-fifth of the mountain.

After dark, we found a place sheltered from the wind to set up camp, ate a little food, and went into the tent to sleep.

During the climbing process, we were too lazy to talk and just focused on climbing up. It was one night on the third day.

When we were about to go to sleep, suddenly a clear cry rang in our ears, which immediately alerted us.

We looked around, and soon we saw a large snow-white bird flying over our heads.

The big bird had a long tail and a wingspan of more than ten meters, and looked very elegant.

When Xiaoguai and her brother saw the big bird, they immediately knelt down in fear and trepidation, muttering something.

As soon as Xiaopang saw the big bird, he quickly asked me to take out the big bell, and asked Chilang to use the magic sword to shoot down the big bird. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so the big bird was a good choice to eat.

Xiaoguai advised not to fight it, and said that the big bird was a sacred bird in their Black Domain, called the Snow Phoenix, and was a symbol of good fortune. If it was killed, bad things would probably happen.

The sloppy Taoist priest was so angry that he kicked Xiaopang on the butt and scolded him for only caring about eating.

Fortunately, the Snow Phoenix had no hostility towards us. It just circled around us for a few times and then flew away.

Xiaoguai looked at the direction where the Snow Phoenix flew away and told us that as long as we saw the Snow Phoenix, good things would happen and we would definitely be able to climb over this mountain.

We didn't know whether it was true or not, so I let Mei Ling continue to be on guard outside and we went back to the tent to sleep.

Afterwards, we climbed for another three days before we finally reached the top of Youdu Mountain. The wind was biting cold on the top of the mountain, like hell on earth. We didn't dare to stay and headed down the mountain overnight.
