In the following period of time, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke lived leisurely in the Qin Clan’s mansion. They exercised for a while every day, drank tea, talked about the current world situation, and occasionally fell into a daze.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed …

Qin Baoshan, who had gone to Yanyang Town to purchase supplies, had returned. As soon as the fire mule was tied to the carriage, he gathered the hunters in the village and selected fifteen experienced youths to escort Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke to the depths of the distant mountains, where they would be stationed to receive them.

In order to avoid Bi Qinglan’s spies, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke chose to mask their faces. For this reason, Qin Baoshan gave an explanation.

“These two adults are the fire guards of the Ancient Temple. They have been ordered by the Great Prophet to go to the distant mountains to do their work. You must cooperate with them properly.”

“Wow! I heard that the Fire Guards are all top experts.” “This is my first time seeing you.” “Alright! We will definitely cooperate with the two of you to complete the Great Prophet’s orders.” The young hunters all responded.

The next morning, in the morning mist that filled the mountains, six oxcarts loaded with supplies were pulled into the endless mountains by the hunters. For this trip, Qin Baoshan gave them the only six horned bulls in the village.

The horned bull was also known as the Chan bull. It was incomparably strong and endurance. It was the best animal in the Far East. However, it was relatively expensive to raise. It was usually only used in special situations, such as long journeys or harsh environments.

In the mountains and forests, the troop’s speed was quite slow, about 35 kilometers per day. Sitting on the ox cart, Tie Zha lamented that if there was an aircraft, it would only take half a day for it to arrive.

Since the Battle of Glory, the World Assembly passed a bill called the “World Flight Regulations” and established the “Global Flight Center”, declaring all flights not under unified control illegal and tightly controlling the use of aircraft as a privilege of Silver City nobles.

Originally, he wanted to borrow the aircraft from Mu Yu Ling Lan, but considering that there were too many people staring at him, if he accidentally leaked his whereabouts, not only would it bring great trouble to Mu Yu Ling Lan, but it would also plunge him into an unpredictable crisis, and it was very likely that he would lose the chance to search for a glorious treasure from now on. In order to be safe, he could only choose this arduous and ancient method.

Half a month later, as the altitude gradually rose, the trees in the mountain forest became thinner and thinner, and the speed of the troop also increased greatly. Now, the convoy could walk up to 50 kilometers a day. Along the way, he encountered an iron-skinned tiger and a mutated brown bear. As soon as they appeared, they were killed by Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke, turning them into braised pork in a pot.

Zhao Wenke wore a second-generation psionic power armor and was also a Tier 7 psionic power user. His combat strength was extraordinary. Ever since Tie Zha comprehended Origin Energy Perception, his combat strength had doubled. There was no pressure to deal with these forest beasts.

Half a month later, the troop traveled 1,500 kilometers and completely left the mountain forest. Through his watch, he could see that the elevation here was about 6,000 meters. If he went south, he would find that there were no vegetation, rocky mountains, and extinct birds.

Looking at the endless mountain range, Tie Zha couldn’t help but recall the scene four years ago when he dragged Alice over the Ficris Mountains alone. As he stared, he let out a heavy breath, tightened his tight coat, and continued forward with his head buried in it. At this point, in order to lighten the burden on the horned bull, everyone stopped taking the carriage and helped push the cart on steep slopes.

With the passage of time and the increase in altitude, the troop’s speed gradually slowed down, from 50 a day at the beginning to 45, 40, 35, 30 …

A month later, when the group left the Qin Village about 2,900 kilometers away, their daily travel speed was already less than 15 kilometers. The altitude here had already exceeded 7,000 meters, and the temperature was even lower than minus 50 degrees. Looking around, there was only the boundless snowy sea of mountains.

Seeing that the hunters were exhausted and the horned bulls were also tired, Tie Zha let them camp at the leeward side of the nearby hillside. Then, he and Zhao Wenyi could drag a large sleigh filled with food and oxygen equipment and continue forward.

Although Zhao Wenke grew up in a temple, he had received the most difficult training ever since he was young. Like Tie Zha, he had an extremely strong ability to survive in the wild. Because the altitude here was too high, the water couldn’t be boiled at all. In addition, in order to save fuel, they usually just melted the ice and snow and drank it directly. As for food, in order to reduce the load, they brought mostly compressed biscuits, only a small amount of canned meat as a supplement.

Continuous mountains, continuous mountains,

Thousands upon thousands, thousands upon thousands.

Qian Shan walked past, and Qian Shan walked over again,

Ten thousand mountains, ten thousand mountains.

The mountains overlapped and rose into the clouds,

In the Divine Immortal Palace, Immortal Sai.

The ancient poets all praised the majesty and vastness of the distant mountains. At this moment, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke had no poetic intent. As long as they sat down, they would feel sleepy and want to fall asleep. The air here was very thin. Every once in a while, they would sit down and inhale oxygen to recover their bodies.

Just like this, the two of them were struggling to move forward between the mountains and on the snow-capped peaks …

They lead a life of eating, drinking, sleeping, walking, monotonous and compact every day. As time passed, the conversation between them became less and less, but the tacit understanding between them became deeper and deeper. They only needed a look or a gesture to know what the other party was thinking. Tie Zha gradually discovered that Zhao Wenke was actually on the same level as him and Old Niu. They prefer to express their intentions in action rather than in words.

They were all silent people. They could not say a word for a few days without feeling unfamiliar. Just like Tie Zha and Old Niu who sat at the entrance of the repair shop for a whole day.

True friends, true brothers, don’t need too much words. As long as you sit together, you can feel at ease.

One of them was a student of the Sacred Flame Guardian, the other was a student of the Ancient Prophet. They were destined to leave behind a huge sum of money in this boundless world!

“Let’s meet again. I’m Tie Zha Northess, the guardian of the Holy Wolf, the war song shaman of the Temple of Glory.”

One day two months later, when they were climbing a large snowy mountain and looking into the distance, Tie Zha suddenly stretched out his hand and said solemnly.

“I am Zhao Wenke of the Far East, the Martial Monk of Zhan Xiong, and the bodyguard before the fire.”

Zhao Wenke held Tie Zha’s hand tightly. After a long journey, it was only at this moment that they finally got to know each other.

In the past two months, they had traveled 3,000 kilometers, 5,000 kilometers away from where they were on the map. However, one-third of their supplies had already been used up by now. They had to find suitable food to ensure their supplies.

It was said that there were some powerful ancient creatures living in the mountains, but along the way, they didn’t encounter anything. Those were just legends, as if they were just legends.

This situation continued until one afternoon. At that time, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke were carrying a rope on their backs, dragging their sleds around one snow peak and heading towards another when the sky suddenly darkened and a large area of shadow swept past them.

“Chip!”

Immediately after, an extremely loud cry came from above, as if it had traveled through endless void and directly entered his mind.

Raising his head, he saw a large azure-ink bird flying over their heads. The wings were more than a hundred meters long. Under one flap, a strong wind blew up on the hillside, and snow rolled about.

“It’s the Roc, the Ancient Roc!” Zhao Wenke raised his head and shouted in surprise, “I didn’t expect it to really exist.”

“I want to go up and take a look.” With that, Tie Zha spread out his membrane wings and soared into the sky with a whoosh.

“Buzz buzz” Looking at the huge bird, he flapped his wings with all his might and flew upwards. However, no matter how he flew, the big bird was still in the distance. After flying to an altitude of more than two thousand meters, the membrane wings emitted bursts of stinging pain, as if they were about to be torn apart by the rapid airflow. He had no choice but to abandon the big bird and dive down.

“The Roc is a divine bird. It flies at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters. Your insect-like wings won’t go there.” A moment later, Zhao Wenke laughed as he looked at the disappointed Tie Zha.

“What a pity. Otherwise, it would be good to pull a feather and take a look.” Said Tie Zha.

“Chip!”

At this moment, the roc in the sky let out another loud cry. Then, it dived down towards the mountains in front of it. The magnificent aura was like a meteor hitting a mountain, causing the two people on the hillside to be dumbfounded.

A few seconds later, the roc soared into the sky again and flew high into the sky. A creature covered in long brown hair appeared on its claws.

“Ancient mammoth!” Tie Zha couldn’t help but shout when he saw the creature’s appearance.

“That’s right, it’s a mammoth.” Zhao Wenke raised the telescope on his chest and observed it for a while.

“Hurry up and go ahead. There may be a herd of elephants.” As he spoke, Tie Zha picked up the rope and beckoned Zhao Wenke to set off.

A few hours later, the two of them climbed five or six hilltops in succession and finally saw a group of mammoths walking on the opposite hillside out of breath. It was already dusk, and the setting sun shone on the snow-capped mountain peaks, plating the entire world with a layer of golden sand. And this group of creatures from the Ancient Era seemed to be walking in a golden ocean, mysterious, simple, and beautiful …

“Quickly follow them.” Tie Zha said excitedly.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Wenke asked doubtfully. As far as he knew, the Ancient Era’s Mammoths were symbols of a glorious bloodline. Tie Zha would definitely not hunt them, but he could not guess exactly what they were planning.

“If they encounter any trouble, we will help them solve it and they will send us to our destination.” Tie Zha grinned and said.
