Chapter 4057 Ice and Snow

The leader has been thoroughly tormented by the Nine-Turn Bone-Scraping Pill and is now completely submissive. We've taken him hostage, and getting out of this area that resembles a Gobi Desert shouldn't be too difficult.

After the slovenly Taoist priest took the bead from the ceiling of the main hall, he was so happy he couldn't stop grinning.

He strolled over and slapped the leader Shanti on the head: "I'm here to ask you, what treasures are hidden in this bunker of your Maomin Kingdom?"

This kid is really greedy; he came all this way just to try and make a quick buck.

The leader, Shanti, was somewhat bewildered by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

I guess he's a little confused right now. What does this mean? Are you trying to rob me?

Master Zhiqing remained quite rational and immediately said, "Xiao Luo, let's ignore all this nonsense for now. The most important thing is for us to leave Maomin Kingdom safely."

Frustrated, the slovenly Taoist priest gave up on the idea of ​​acquiring the treasure.

Next, a group of us escorted Shanti towards the outside of the main hall.

The experts from the Mao Min Kingdom inside the main hall naturally didn't want us to leave so easily, so they blocked our way.

Kassan kicked the leader, Shanti, in the backside, and Shanti immediately cried out in panic, "Get out of the way, everyone get out of the way..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the experts from the Mao Republic immediately made way for us, and we were able to leave the underground fortress smoothly. We then climbed back up from the cave entrance through a winding and circuitous route.

We also brought Shan Di up here.

As soon as Shanti came up, she said helplessly, "I already told you to leave, why did you bring me here?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I have a few questions for you. Answer honestly, and I'll let you leave here alive," the slovenly Taoist priest said in a gloomy tone.

"Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know." Shanti had already started to give up.

Surrounded by so many experts like us, he knew that any struggle would be futile.

"Shanti, let me ask you, how far do we have to go from your Maomin Kingdom, besides this place, to reach the Pierced Chest Kingdom?" the slovenly Taoist priest asked immediately.

"It will take another four or five days to leave the territory of the Maomin Kingdom. If we continue forward, there is an extremely cold place ahead, where there are also many people from our Maomin Kingdom. However, those people from the Maomin Kingdom are a little different from us. We have black hair, while they have white hair," Shanti answered honestly.

“Chief Shanti, we were just passing through and had no intention of causing trouble for your Maomin Kingdom. As you saw just now, although we went down into your underground fortress, we did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. The reason we killed your people earlier was because we had no choice. Your people launched a sneak attack without warning, and we were just trying to protect ourselves,” I said solemnly.

Upon hearing my words, the mountain chief glanced at me and asked, "Then what is the meaning of bringing me here?"

"We don't mean anything by it, we just want Chief Shanti to escort us safely out of Maomin Kingdom. Once we're out of here, we'll naturally let you go back," the slovenly Taoist priest said.

“I can safely escort you out of my territory, but once you’re outside my area and in someone else’s territory, my word won’t carry weight, especially in that extremely cold place where no one will recognize me,” Shanti quickly said.

"Don't worry about that. We have a plan. If you encounter those white-haired people from the Maomin Kingdom, just tell them you're going to find your king. Some outsiders have trespassed into your territory, and we'll follow you." The slovenly Taoist priest had already come up with a solution.

Now he's in our hands, and he insists on coming with us no matter what.

So we had Shanti lead the way, and without stopping, we set off straight through the night.

This Gobi Desert is quite large. Under Shanti's guidance, we walked for two days. During that time, many people from Maoming State tried to fight us, but they all backed down when they saw Shanti there.

To speed up our journey, we stopped resting at night and instead walked for a while, then sat down to meditate for an hour or two to recover our strength and energy before continuing on our way. We walked like this for two days and two nights before leaving this barren Gobi Desert and entering the extremely cold land ahead.

Having reached this point, we dared not continue our journey so openly, since this was not Shanti's territory.

We collectively used invisibility talismans to speed up our actions and try to get out of Maomin Country as soon as possible.

When I reached the border, the scenery was completely different from that of the Gobi Desert.

The further we went, the lower the temperature became. Before we knew it, it started snowing. The further we went, the bigger the snowflakes became, and the ground became frozen solid.

Before us stretched a vast world of ice and snow, with temperatures dropping to tens of degrees below zero.

According to Shanti, it would take at least two days and two nights to get out of this icy and snowy land without sleep. Once past this place, it would be the territory of the Piercing Chest Kingdom, and the situation would be quite different.

So we had Shan Di lead the way and continue forward, while Mei Ling and Xue Shen Gu scouted ahead for us.

If we're going to travel for two days and two nights, we probably won't have enough invisibility talismans. We can't possibly use them all up here; we have to save some for when we get to the Kingdom of Piercing Chest.

Especially when going to Zhaoyao Mountain to find Zhaoyao Wood, invisibility talismans are indispensable.

So, after walking for a while and confirming that there was no danger, we would find a completely safe snow cave to rest in, and then activate the Divine Speed ​​Technique to continue our journey.

However, trouble still arose the next day.

We were all invisible, but Shan Di was not.

One afternoon, as we were hurrying along, a large group of Mao Zedong's men suddenly jumped out and surrounded Shanti.

Just as Shanti said, the people of the Maomin Kingdom in this place are indeed all covered in white hair. Their white hair blends perfectly with the icy and snowy landscape, and we didn't even realize when they appeared next to us.

Those people from the white-haired Republic, each holding a magical artifact, surrounded Shanti and asked him what he was going to do.

Shanti, being the leader of the Maomin Kingdom, immediately took out a Maomin Kingdom token to prove his identity. Then, as the slovenly Taoist had told him, he said that a group of foreigners had come to his territory and killed many of them, and that he needed to seek help from the king.
