Chapter 177: Qin Xiaoxi Thought to Herself
When the man said this, he sounded tragic. Qin Xiaoxi had no choice but to pity the man in front of her.
Of course, it was inappropriate to say anything at this moment. It was rare that this man was finally willing to listen to their words. It could also be considered as pointing out a clear path for them. If it weren’t for him, she was afraid that she and Jiang Yun would still be trapped in this cave for an unknown amount of time.
“Thank you.” Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi hurriedly thanked him.
“There’s no need. Continue what you have to do and eradicate the Blood Shadow Sect. It can also be considered as giving my clansmen an explanation.” When the man said this, he was still looking elsewhere.
“Don’t worry.”
After saying this, the two of them walked into the tunnel.
As the two of them entered, the tunnel gradually began to close. Slowly, the last trace of light disappeared, and the man also disappeared from their sight.
Whoosh.
Just as everything was about to return to darkness, Jiang Yun’s Guiding Lamp floated out of his palm once again and floated in front of the two of them. It illuminated the path ahead for them which made Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi more comfortable. Although the cold air in the tunnel intensified, at least they didn’t have to feel the darkness now.
“I pity him. After living for so long, the people around him have left one after another. In the end, he was the only one left to continue guarding this place. When will it end?” Qin Xiaoxi shook her head helplessly.
“That’s true, but he has the blood of the Frost Dragon flowing in his body. As the guardian of the Northern Region, he must protect the Frost Dragon and the safety of the entire Northern Region even if he has to die. This is something he can’t help it.” Jiang Yun naturally felt that he was very miserable.
“Can’t help it… no wonder. It seems that everyone has a moment of helplessness. We are no exception, and the same goes for them.” Qin Xiaoxi sighed.
“Why are you sighing so much all of a sudden?” Jiang Yun seemed very strange.
“No, it’s just a sudden feeling. After thinking about it, I feel that all of this seems quite real.” Qin Xiaoxi took a light step forward and followed the Guiding Lamp with Jiang Yun, slowly walking forward.
As they continued to move forward, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi not only felt that the cold wind in the air was getting more and more piercing, but the whistling of the cold wind seemed to become clearer.
“It seems that in a little while, we can directly reach the top of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain.” Jiang Yun seemed to be quite happy. After half a month, they were getting closer and closer to success, now, as long as they went out of the cave and found the so-called Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma, Qin Mingzhu’s life could be saved.
“Great, this half a month’s effort is not in vain.”
“What did I say? If we have to pick this Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma, we will definitely be able to do it.” Jiang Yun smiled.
“Come on, look at how confident you are.” Qin Xiaoxi burst into laughter. At this moment, the biting cold wind seemed to have become less cold. Qin Xiaoxi seemed to have remembered something. “What do you plan to do when we go back?”
“Me? What else can I do? Fishing, read books, and investigate the Power of Blood Shadow and solve the trouble of He Zhao.” Jiang Yun smiled faintly.
“What? You know how to fish?” Qin Xiaoxi looked at him in disbelief.
“What’s wrong? Don’t believe me?” Jiang Yun retorted.
Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun with a serious expression, then shrank back. “Well… I didn’t know you knew how to fish.”
Jiang Yun cursed.
“What a joke. Where do you think the fish you ate on the boat came from? I was the one who caught it for you. Don’t talk nonsense if you know nothing.”
“Oh, I see. Alright then.” Qin Xiaoxi nodded.
“What kind of tone is that?”
The two of them walked forward while chatting and laughing.
Not far away, a light dot slowly appeared in front of them. The two of them looked at each other and then sped toward the light dot. Slowly, the light dot grew larger and larger, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi could also feel the biting cold wind becoming stronger and stronger.
The two of them stared at the wind and snow as they walked out of the tunnel.
At this moment, the Northern Region had already sunk into darkness. It seemed that Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi had spent quite a bit of time in the cave. By the time they came out, the sunlight had already disappeared without a trace.
After the two of them came out, there were a few stone steps. These stone steps were built on the edge of the cliff. After a few more steps, they reached the highest point of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. Looking from here, even though it was already dark, they could still see the sea of clouds below their feet.
At this moment, it was as if the two of them were in the middle of the clouds.
However, the snowstorm was still a little fierce at this moment, so the two of them were not in the mood to continue enjoying the scenery.
Not long after they came out, their heads and clothes were already covered with countless snowflakes. Their appearance was also extremely miserable. The two of them stood on the edge of the cliff and observed for a while.
This stone staircase was built along the mountain and it was extremely steep. With a step, countless falling rocks would fall into the bottomless mountain stream. Not to mention the strong wind, even the stone staircase was a little slippery.
“This staircase seems to be very slippery. We should be careful.”
“I think so too.”
After saying this, Jiang Yun directly held Qin Xiaoxi’s hand, which shocked Qin Xiaoxi. She felt her face burning and didn’t know what to say for a moment. She let Jiang Yun take the lead while her hand was held by him and prepared to walk on the path.
“What’s wrong? Hold on tight and don’t fall.” Jiang Yun saw that Qin Xiaoxi was in a daze and quickly turned around to ask.
“Ah, no, I got it.” Qin Xiaoxi quickly came back to her senses. She grabbed Jiang Yun’s hand with one hand and held a protruding rock behind her with the other, just as Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi were about to step onto the steep stone path, they could feel some of the broken rocks rolling down from the cracks in the cliff.
