Chapter 156: A Group of Snow Monsters
As they were talking, the two of them reached the foot of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. Jiang Yun observed it for a while and found that the Holy Saint Snow Mountain was not as steep as the two mountains they saw when they first arrived. The slope was not too steep, so they could just walk up along the foot of the mountain. As long as they reached the clouds, they would be able to search for the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma.
When the two of them saw this, they quickened their pace.
It was strange that the road leading to the foot of Holy Spirit Mountain became a little rugged.
There also seemed to be a slight b.u.mp in the surrounding snow.
“Not good…”
Jiang Yun quickly exclaimed. He called out to Qin Xiaoxi and quickly signaled her to stop.
Jiang Yun carefully observed his surroundings. The b.u.mp in the surrounding snow was rhythmically moving. It was like a round stomach that was moving up and down due to breathing.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi also noticed something strange.
“Could it be…”
Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun immediately slowed down their footsteps.
At this moment, a faint strange cry sounded from the side.
They saw that the slight b.u.mp in the snow beside Qin Xiaoxi lifted something that looked like an arm. No… It was an arm! This arm was covered with white hair, and the palm was black. It looked like the palm of a gorilla.
“Oh no… is this the snow monster?”
The next second, the bulge in the snow gave them an answer.
This wasn’t a snow terrain bulge. The thing flipped over, and Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi saw a white-haired gorilla sprawled out in the snow! This thing was clearly the snow monster that they encountered last night!!!
However, this group of snow monsters was much smaller than the one they saw last night.
The red-eyed white-haired gorilla snow monster they saw last night was as tall as half a mountain and its eyes were like a pair of fiery red lanterns.
Moreover, its roar was terrifying, and its huge mouth was filled with sharp fangs.
However, although the snow monsters in front of Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi were large in number, their size was only about two times bigger than Jiang Yun.
Although they were much smaller, there were still at least a dozen surrounding them.
The only fortunate thing was that these monsters were snoring loudly.
Jiang Yun was right, the snow monsters were nocturnal creatures. They slept during the day.
“You were right… The snow monsters are really here, you jinxed us,” Qin Xiaoxi said to Jiang Yun in a low voice.
“Then, this is your chance to show off. Miss Qin, why don’t you kill everyone and become the strongest cultivator?” Jiang Yun didn’t forget to tease her.
Qin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yun.
“I don’t want to provoke them now. Let’s walk past them slowly while they’re still sleeping. Don’t disturb them…” Qin Xiaoxi quickly suggested. “But… why are these snow monsters different from the one we saw last night?”
“They’re probably not adults yet, but it’s also possible that the one we met last night was their leader,” Jiang Yun replied.
“But at least it’s still better than the one we met yesterday. At least these monsters aren’t as big as half a mountain.”
Jiang Yun thought so too.
Although there were many snow monsters here, they didn’t seem as threatening as the giant monster from last night.
Since they already stumbled on this group of snow monsters that were resting, they could just pa.s.s through carefully rather than spending a lot of time taking a detour. This was the best and safest way.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded. Then, they slowly headed in the direction of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. There were a few snow monsters that flipped over occasionally but these snow monsters slept soundly.
That was perfect. They could take advantage of the situation and reach the foot of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain smoothly.
However, in order not to wake up the monsters, the two of them slowed down a lot.
Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun walked slowly,
However… It seemed like they would never reach the end. The number of snow monsters seemed to be increasing. Many of them leaned against each other and fell asleep, leaving only small gaps in between.
This made it even more difficult for them to walk.
“Why are there more and more snow monsters?” Qin Xiaoxi could not help but break out in cold sweat. It was not an exaggeration to say that the number of snow monsters was increasing. There were at least dozens of them.
“Be careful. If we wake one of them up, we would be in trouble.” Jiang Yun quickly frowned.
But who knew they jinxed themselves again.
A roar suddenly erupted from the group of snow monsters that were sleeping soundly.
The long roar instantly froze the two of them on the spot.
Jiang Yun felt a pair of eyes watching them.
He slowly turned around and saw that a snow monster woke up at some point. Its blood-red eyes were open.
The long roar alarmed the others.
“You jinxed us, Jiang Yun.” Qin Xiaoxi was a little fl.u.s.tered, but it was useless to say anything now. The snow monsters around them woke up one after another. They all looked at Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi with their bloodthirsty eyes. At this moment… they were the snow monsters’ prey!
It was too late.
Qin Xiaoxi quickly pulled out her Yue Maiden Sword from behind her.
The crisp sound of unsheathing a sword emitted throughout.
One after another, the snow monsters on the snowy ground woke up. They all roared as they looked at Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi.
In the next second, the snow monsters closest to them began to charge!
A few snow monsters stretched out their huge hands and aimed at them. Their disgusting saliva dripped down along their sharp teeth.
Jiang Yun frowned.
The spiritual power in his hands instantly gathered and formed into a blade.
The two of them were ready to fight their way out of this group of snow monsters at any time. The snow monsters came one after another and charged towards the two of them crazily. Qin Xiaoxi held her Yue Maiden Sword in her hand tightly. It seemed that… a big battle was inevitable.
