Chapter 147: The Bear from the Northern Region
Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi walked for a long time, but they still felt that the distance between them and the foot of the mountain remain unchanged.
It was as if they were trapped in this vast expanse of white snow.
Perhaps it was because every step they took was extremely arduous.
“Where exactly is this Holy Saint Snow Mountain?” Qin Xiaoxi quickly asked.
Jiang Yun opened the old map.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
“After crossing two mountains…”
Jiang Yun muttered, Then he put away the map and stopped to look at his surroundings for a while.
“We should see the Holy Saint Snow Mountain after crossing these two mountains.” Jiang Yun looked at the intersection of the two peaks in front of them, “If possible, we should try to pa.s.s through at the bottom. This way, we’ll spend less time and energy rather than climbing the mountains and taking detours.”.
Qin Xiaoxi nodded.
“I don’t know why but this northern region is so quiet it’s a little scary.” Qin Xiaoxi looked around. Looking at the white snowy plain, scenery as such usually reminded her of purity, but for some reason, right now, the scenery only gave Qin Xiaoxi a sense of oppression.
“We haven’t entered the mountain ranges yet. We need to be on guard against the quietness.” Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi moved forward slowly.
At that moment, a few lumps of uneven white snow started to shake. Qin Xiaoxi rubbed her eyes, unsure if she was seeing things. However, after looking at it carefully, she determined that the snow piles in front of her were shaking.
Qin Xiaoxi quickly reached back and grabbed the hilt of the Yue maiden sword.
“Jiang Yun, look.”
Qin Xiaoxi gestured.
Jiang Yun also noticed the movement not far away.
The two of them looked at each other. After a short exchange of glances, they both slowed down their footsteps and walked slowly towards the swaying snow piles.
With every step that Qin Xiaoxi took, she squeezed her sword even more tightly.
When they were only about seven or eight meters away, the snow piles suddenly stopped swaying.
The two of them were very puzzled, but they did not let down their guard. After all, neither one of them was familiar with the northern region and they did not know what kind of creatures were here.
Seeing that there were no further movements from the snow piles, the two of them looked at each other again.
It was strange.
The color of the snow piles was different from the surrounding snow. And on closer inspection, it was actually covered with white fur.
“Why is this snow so furry?”Just as Qin Xiaoxi was curious.
The snow piles started to move again.
Not long after, the snow piles started to move and ran toward Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun.
Qin Xiaoxi was also shocked. In the next second, a cute head popped out from the “snow pile”.
It looked like a bear’s head. The only thing on the white bear that she could see clearly was its small black eyes. The white bear’s limbs were also very short. When it ran, it swayed. They let out whimpering sounds around Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi.
“Wow, so cute.” Qin Xiaoxi quickly squatted down when she saw this. She used her hand to pet one of the white bears that were trying to get close to Qin Xiaoxi. This white bear was different from the big bears that Jiang Yun and the others saw in the forest. It was very short, like a domestic dog.
The other little bears also surrounded Qin Xiaoxi when they saw this.
They rubbed their bodies up against Qin Xiaoxi as if they had rarely seen humans here before. The cubs all curiously approached the two of them.
Qin Xiaoxi stroked their heads.
The cubs’ fur was very thick and heavy, soft to the touch.
“What kind of animal is this? A mini bear? It’s so cute.” Qin Xiaoxi was unable to resist such a cute animal. “It even has white fur.”
Jiang Yun also carefully looked at it and stroked the head of one of the bears with Qin Xiaoxi.
“Maybe it’s a white-furred bear from the northern region. It’s a kind of short bear with white fur all over its body.” Jiang Yun was deep in thought. He didn’t expect such a creature to exist in a place like the northern region, he thought this place should be full of monsters.
These white bears were able to survive in such a harsh environment. They must have a strong resistance to the cold.
“White-furred bear from the northern region, that is a bit difficult to p.r.o.nounce.” Qin Xiaoxi smiled and took out some dry food from her bag. She broke it open and fed it to them.
The white bears that saw food staggered toward Qin Xiaoxi.
“Slow down, slow down. All of you will have some. Don’t fight.” Qin Xiaoxi caressed them. She thought that it would be great if she could carry one back to Thunder City.
“This kind of bear lives in this desolate and extremely cold place all year round. I guess it already developed some adaptability to this place. I don’t think it won’t be easy to raise if you brought one back to Thunder City.”
This Jiang Yun… why does he always ruin my mood. Qin Xiaoxi was puzzled, how did he know what she was thinking? Just as Qin Xiaoxi was about to say something, Jiang Yun’s next sentence made her quickly swallow what she wanted to say.
“Otherwise, I would also like to bring one back to the Mount G.o.d of Heaven.” Jiang Yun also began to feed these animals with Qin Xiaoxi.
Qin Xiaoxi felt less depressed when she saw the small animals, and she lowered her vigilance toward the northern region a little.
She thought that they were some kind of ferocious animals that lived in h.o.a.rds, but when they popped their heads out, Qin Xiaoxi almost burst into laughter.
“They seem to like you very much.” Jiang Yun quietly looked at Qin Xiaoxi who was still playing with the white-furred bears.
“Of course.” Qin Xiaoxi bent down slightly and whispered to the group of white-furred bears, “Don’t provoke that person. He’s super scary and fierce… just stay by my side.”
As she said this, she didn’t forget to turn around and glance at Jiang Yun, who was looking at her.
Jiang Yun only shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
