Chapter 83 Black Wind Ridge
83 Black Wind Ridge
Zhao Sheng was about to finish a snowmobile when he heard Bai Wutong’s instructions to look for them. Cui Shiji took the initiative to ask, so he immediately agreed.
After resting by the lake for two nights, everyone’s energy visibly improved.
After the fishes were dealt with, the snowmobiles were also ready.
The things that were especially heavy were placed on the snowmobiles. It was very convenient to hold the handles and drag them or push them along.
!!
When Zhao Sheng was making a small wooden horse for Stinky, he thought of the structure of the snowmobile and modified the small wooden horse. Stinky could sit and be dragged or pushed by everyone on the small wooden horse. When Stinky was unwilling to sit on it, it could even be used to store things. It was killing two birds with one stone.
After the 30 families of Qinghe obtained their snowmobiles, they sat on it and slid forward with two sticks. On flat ground, they were much faster than walking speed.
Cui Lingyi was enjoying herself on the snowmobile. Cui Muzhi also wanted to play with it, so he urged her, “Cousin, I’m tired. It’s my turn now!”
Cui Lingyi looked back at him and raised her eyebrows with a look that said, “I don’t think it’s been an hour since we left, right?” When they did not have a snowmobile, Cui Muzhi would grit his teeth so that Lan did not have to carry him and he would still be able to walk for several hours.
Cui Muzhi chuckled with a flushed face. After being exposed, he simply said, “Good cousin, let me play for a while!”
Cui Lingyi smiled and asked. “You want to play?”
Cui Muzhi thought that she was about to agree and nodded frantically like a puppy. “Yes, yes.”
Unexpectedly, Cui Lingyi raised her chin and smiled. “Alright, I’ll have my fill first. Then it will be your turn.”
Cui Muzhi’s eyes widened. He looked at her with a dumbfounded expression, as if saying, “Cousin, how can you trick me like this?”.
Cui Lingyi was amused by him and said kindly, “Fine, your cousin, I, am the best person.”
Suddenly, Cui Muzhi’s gaze at Cui Lingyi was filled with admiration.
Cui Lingyi got up from the snowmobile. Cui Muzhi sat down and slid out happily. Feeling dissatisfied with sliding, he even let Lan Jingbai push him from behind to speed him up.
When Chu Tianbao saw this, he also wanted to play. He looked at Bai Wutong eagerly.
Bai Wutong didn’t stop him. She carried Stinky over and smiled. “Go play. Be careful not to fall over.”
After obtaining Bai Wutong’s permission, Chu Tianbao nodded excitedly and sat on the snowmobile that Lin Yue had prepared for him. With a kick of his hind legs, the snowmobile shot into the sky like a rocket… and almost flew up.
Bai Wutong was dumbfounded. The others people also had their eyes almost popping out.
As expected of the peerless expert, Master Chu. He was so different even when playing with a snowmobile.
Cui Muzhi saw Chu Tianbao in front of him and turned to look at Lan Jingbai. “Blockhead Lan, can you also make it fly too?”
Lan Jingbai glanced at Chu Tianbao, who had just landed and shot into the sky again, and replied cautiously, “I can’t.”
Cui Muzhi was disappointed for a moment, but then he looked at Lan Jingbai excitedly and said with antic.i.p.ation, “When you can fly, you must take me with you!”
Lan Jingbai: “…” I probably won’t be able to take you along in this lifetime.
The team had enough food stock again, and with the snowmobiles lightening their load, they felt much more relaxed on the road.
On the fifth day after setting off from the lake, a huge mountain range gradually appeared in the vast wilderness. Lin Yue pointed at the mountain range opposite and said excitedly, “Madam, we’re almost at the Fengming Mountain Range. The Fengming City is at the foot of the Fengming Mountain.”
The refugees who had persisted until here saw great hope and quickened their pace.
Bai Wutong looked at Lin Yue and asked, “Where’s the Black Wind Ridge? Why haven’t we arrived there yet?”
Lin Yue said, “Probably soon. The Black Wind Ridge is a mountain at the next peak of the Fengming Mountain.”
Bai Wutong looked around and saw that there were so many mountain peaks. She glanced at him speechlessly and said to the team, “There are more refugees gathering in all directions. The people who can last until here have basically exhausted all their food. We have to take good care of our food. Even if we reach Ling Kingdom, I wonder if they will really settle us down properly.”
Everyone nodded and continued to head towards the Fengming Mountain Range.
The Fengming Mountain looked close, but in fact, it was miles away.
Bai Wutong and the others walked for another day. When it was almost dark, they only entered a small hill in the Fengming Mountain Range.
At this moment, Bai Wutong learned a very bad news.
All the Life Spirit Pills from Patriarch Cui had been borrowed away by Bai Wutong along the way, so they did not have any more left. Gu Zhongxun still had not developed an antidote too.
There was only one day left before Qingfeng and the others’ next relapse.
Every time Qingfeng and the others suffered a relapse, the pain would intensify. Last time, when Lin Yue and the others failed to keep an eye on one of them, he picked up his sword and stabbed a b.l.o.o.d.y hole in his leg.
Bai Wutong looked at Qingfeng’s backview and whispered to Lin Yue, “If it really doesn’t work, tie them up before tomorrow.” After thinking for a moment, he said, “And gag their mouths to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide.”
Lin Yue clenched his fists and glanced at Qingfeng. “Okay.”
Just as the team was about to find a place to set up camp, Lin Yue suddenly saw three words engraved on the stone tablet—Black Wind Ridge!
Once they reached Black Wind Ridge, he would be able to find his master. If he found his master, he would be able to obtain medicinal herbs.
Lin Yue’s eyes lit up. He looked back at Qingfeng and took out the signal flare in his pocket. After lighting it, it shot into the air and exploded.
Lin Yue said happily to Bai Wutong, “Madam, our master will send someone to pick us up soon!”
Bai Wutong looked at the three huge words ‘Black Wind Ridge’ and fell into deep thought. What if it was a demon coming towards them?
Everyone waited expectantly. There wasn’t even a mosquito.
Bai Wutong said, “Let’s set up camp and not wait anymore. It’s going to be dark soon.”
At this moment, the sound of hooves could be heard. Lin Yue and the others immediately said in surprise, “It must be Master and the others!”
Bai Wutong also looked forward to it for a moment. When the horses approached, Qingfeng’s eyes darkened and she immediately shouted, “Hit them!”
All of them were armed with large sabers and looked experienced and vicious. They were clearly hundreds of hostile bandits!
Under Qingfeng’s command, the entire team quickly formed a tight encirclement and looked warily at the bandits who were about to charge over.
Lin Yue was dumbfounded. Had the signal flare attracted the bandits?
There were thousands of them and only a few hundred bandits. If they knew what was good for them, they should quickly get lost.
However, not only did the bandits not run away, they even made way for the bandit leader to appear in everyone’s line of sight on his horse.
...
Qingfeng said warily, “Be careful of ambushes!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yue saw the bandit leader’s face and immediately shouted in surprise, “Master!”
He knew it must be their master!
