Chapter 917 Snowman
"How far is it?" Han Juanjuan raised his head as hard as he could and looked at the peak above his head. The eagerness in his eyes could not be concealed. The other team was trying to delay them with their lives. There was also Lu Yu who was left alone in the cave, which made him worried.
Shang Zuo stopped and straightened the loose brim of his hat. The long climb was too much for his body. He gasped and replied: "It's just...it's quick. Turn around the mountain pass in front. There's a mountain behind. It was a small road. We came down from this road at that time. It’s not far away.”
They didn’t rest all the way. Zigui asked everyone to throw away all useless things and travel lightly, including tents. Only one was left, which was currently being carried on the fat man's back.
The fat man didn't say much along the way. He remembered Jiang Cheng's words and kept an eye on Shang Zuo. Shang Zuo must be alive before reaching the saint's tomb.
"Don't talk." Zigui reminded: "Keep on walking and hurry up."
It's not far from the peak. The altitude is high and the oxygen is thin. The effort required for each step is not what you are used to. People from the plains can imagine.
Fortunately, several people have good physical endurance, especially Wang Fugui. A large part of Zigui's attention was on this man along the way.
As a teacher, Zigui believes that he must be responsible for his students and the rest of the team, so he is somewhat wary of Fatty, an outsider.
No one knows what a person who is honest is thinking in his heart.
The unpredictable nature of people's hearts was clearly demonstrated in the mission. Even if Fatty had shown kindness, it was most likely just a disguise.
In the first mission they experienced, they were stabbed in the back by a simple-looking woman. As a result, a student was noticed by a ghost and was grabbed by one hand and one leg, and was torn into pieces. From the two halves, blood mixed with internal organs flowed all over the floor.
Zigui still remembers the bloody scene at that time.
"Teacher Zigui." The fat man adjusted his backpack with one hand. "It's useless for you to be wary of me. Your duty is to find the way. We don't have any extra time to waste." After a pause, he Continued: "I may not care about your friend's life or death, but I "My brothers are also with your friends. I can't ignore them, so please don't worry."
His voice was mixed with the unique silence in the snowy mountains, which made the latter frown slightly, preaching. She didn't like the tone of her voice, but she still understood the reasoning behind it.
Zigui nodded, without any extra explanation, and the group continued on their journey.
Finally, the peace along the way was broken after turning a sloping ice slope.
Stop, Han Juanjuan stared at the scene in front of him, couldn't help but rub his eyes, and said in surprise: "This... what is going on?"
A few dozen meters away from them Far ahead, there are dozens of snowmen piled up in various directions.
The snowman's body was facing their direction, as if he expected someone to come from this way.
It’s not clear who these snowmen are, or what they were made of, but there must be something wrong when they appear here, and the longer they look at them, the more weird they become.
"Did you see these snowmen last time?" the fat man asked in a low voice.
Shang Zuo seemed to have just come back to his senses, and shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, absolutely not, I can guarantee that!"
"Then is there any other way besides this way? "Han Juanjuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Shang Zuo who was leading the way. After all, he was the only one who had been here.
Zi Gui observed carefully. The snowman was in an awkward position. It was stuck in the middle of two ice slopes. If you want to pass through this road, you must go here.
"Maybe... maybe there is." Shang Zuo said after hesitation.
"If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What's the matter if you say maybe it is!" Han Juanjuan said angrily.
The fat man could tell that in addition to anxiety deep in his heart, there was also fear. This was also human nature.
"There should be, but I don't know. I only know this road. We can look for it nearby, maybe..."
Before he finished speaking, he was A cold female voice interrupted, Zigui stared at these snowmen and said quickly: "It's too late, let's go straight through."
"If these snowmen are left by the locals as a warning, then we will be safe. If they were done by hungry ghosts..." Zigui took a deep breath, and the next second, he said firmly: "Then let's find another one. The road is useless, it has already set its sights on us, no matter which way we go, it will be the same.”
Everyone’s faces turned ugly. If these snowmen are really made by hungry ghosts, then what? It shows that it has seen through everyone's plan.
To be more pessimistic, I wonder if the group of people they used as bait have encountered something unexpected.
"They will be fine!" Someone suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's thoughts. The fat man said loudly: "My two friends are very powerful. Their level is even better than you think. There are a lot of people, so don’t worry about them. Don’t be distracted. Our two teams each perform their duties.” With a big wave of his hand, the fat man's face actually had edges and corners, "Follow me!"
The encouragement before the battle had an unexpected effect, as the fat man was the first to walk towards the snowman. Go, like an icebreaker, the oppressive feeling that enveloped everyone's hearts was pushed back by Fatty alone.
Immediately afterwards, Zigui opened his legs and followed closely behind the fat man. Shang Zuo gritted his teeth and followed, and finally Han Juanjuan. Before leaving, Teacher Gongsun told him to keep an eye on Shang Zuo, and he did not dare to forget it.
Looking at the fat man's broad back, Zigui suddenly had a very reliable illusion, as if from this moment on, the man in front of him became everyone's support.
What surprised her was that the other person... was obviously just a stranger.
There was no time for her to think carefully. When they got close to these snowmen, they realized that there were far more snowmen than they imagined. They blocked the road in various directions and they needed to keep avoiding them.
And the snowmen have different shapes, but without exception, they are all full of a strange sense of dissonance, which they cannot describe.
Due to her ability, Zi Gui was very keen. She vaguely noticed a malicious sight staring at her. She kept tilting her head to look at the snowmen around her, trying to find the source of the sight.
"It seems...something is wrong." Shang Zuo wrapped his clothes tightly and asked in a trembling tone: "I didn't see so many snowmen before, why are there so many now."
Everyone felt that Strange times, the last Korean roll Juan was highly nervous. Suddenly, he caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. The next moment, he immediately turned around and looked at a position behind him, "Who?!"
He saw a black figure in a trance. Shadow, sneaking behind a snowman.
And the black shadow gave him a strange sense of familiarity, like deja vu.
There will be more updates, brothers who are cultivating immortals can wait.
