Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 1255

Chapter 1255: You Are Unable To Ascend The Motou Mountain Range

“Just wait a minute.” Gu Mengmeng looked at Gregory who was just turning around to leave. “Although I don’t remember that great lord you mentioned, I am indeed looking for you. Since he helped us pass the message onto you, he must be on our side then.”

Gregory turned his head. “What do you want?”

“I want the Love of the Sky.” Gu Mengmeng was very frank about her goal.

Gregory stared at Gu Mengmeng for a long while before replying. “You are unable to ascent the Motou mountain range.”

He was not being sarcastic or ridiculing them at all. He was just stating a fact.

“That is why I need your help,” Gu Mengmeng said.

Gregory looked at Elvis, and then at Lea. He shook his head. “The peak of the Motou mountains is the sacred grounds of the vultures. The only time we can bring an outsider up there is when we are bringing new partners to pray for blessings. So if you wish to go… you must climb up yourself and defeat all the guardians along the way.”

Gu Mengmeng was just mulling over the possibility of this solution when Gregory continued. “But the Motou mountains are very precipitous. The foot of the range comprises many jagged rocks—you and your partners are powerful enough to handle that, but only barely. However, from the middle of the mountain onwards, it is just one steep and smooth cliff without any climbing holds. Unless you can stick to the wall like a lizard, you are totally unable to continue upwards.”

Stick to the wall like a lizard…

Gu Mengmeng’s mind raced in all directions, but failed to find a suitable solution.

Before she could reach a definite conclusion, Gregory carried on. “Looking at the capabilities of your wolf partner, he would need to sprint at his fastest for more than half a day before reaching the middle of the mountain. Thereafter, you will have to climb the extremely steep mountain wall… which will require 3-10 days. During this period, you will have no food, no water, no rest—and you still have to contend with continuous attacks by the bird beasts guarding the mountains. If you make just one false move and fall off… the jagged rocks at the bottom will definitely kill you.”

3-10 days without food, water or sleep, while facing attacks perched upon an extremely steep and smooth cliff wall without any climbing holds…

This was an impossible task.

“Even if you manage all that, the real test begins after you go beyond the middle of the mountain. That’s because the closer you are to the peak, the thinner the air will be. The weather conditions at the peak will make the winters you experience on the ground feel like being in a greenhouse. Low temperatures, raging winds and icy shards of hardened snow pummeling you like countless fangs. One of your partners has exceptional powers, while the other is of an exceptional race. They could probably last two days. While you… without a thick and sturdy hide protecting you from the harsh winds and bitter cold, you might only last half a day before being frozen to death.”

Gregory went through the entire scenario calmly and objectively, as if he was an expert explaining a mathematical theory. Every word used was precise, and his narration was so professional that one was utterly convinced.

Gu Mengmeng possessed Wang Xiaoxin’s psychology knowledge, and she could tell from Gregory’s body language and expression that he was not just being an alarmist. Every word he spoke was the truth.

So he was saying that they would never be able to ascend the Motou mountain range even if they tried their best, right?

“That is why I said I need your help.” Gu Mengmeng repeated.

Gregory frowned. His clear eyes held a chilly sense of disdain. “So you want to be my partner? Apologies, I do not accept.”
