The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 154
Chapter 154 Snowflakes Like Blades (2)
After a night of cultivation, everything was safe.
When Lei Xingfeng woke up, he discovered that the two groups of people had already left. He asked, “Uncle Eagle, when did they leave?”
Mad Eagle said, “It’s been a while since we left. We’re leaving now.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, I wonder how far we’ll go today.” He got up and tidied up his clothes and hat.
Xin Zhaolun had already tidied up and said, “Let’s go. Today, we’re going to cross the Box Ditch Glacier. It’s more dangerous. Everyone, cheer up and eat some dry food. There’s no time to cook.”
Everyone took out ready-made food, such as stewed meat and other cooked food, and quickly ate it.
XinFeng had already prepared for this. He took out rice balls mixed with marinated meat and quickly swallowed them. Everyone was prepared for this kind of dry food. After all, in the wild, there were many times when it was not suitable to start a fire to cook.
In just ten minutes, Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, let’s go. We’d rather be early. We don’t know if there will be any accidents along the way. If we have more time, we should be calm.” He was experienced, so of course everyone listened to him.
After walking out of the cave entrance, XinFeng said in surprise, “Eh, it’s snowing!”
Xin Zhaolun couldn’t help but curse. The snow here was different from other places. Because the wind here was very strong, once it snowed, the snowflakes would be like knives. If the quality of the leather robe wasn’t good enough, they would definitely be torn into pieces in the gale.
Using ropes to connect the crowd together, the hammer raised its huge hammer and blocked its face. The snow hit the hammer, and it actually gave off a metallic clanging sound.
Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but curse, “Holy shit … so evil!” With a flip of his wrist, a steel shield appeared in his hand and he said, “Uncle Eagle, this is for you.”
Crazy Eagle smiled and took it, saying, “You actually have this kind of thing.”
XinFeng handed another shield to Tiger Addict. He also took out a shield to block the snowflakes.
In any case, there was no need to look at the road. With the rope leading them, a group of people would not get lost. Of course, the prerequisite was that the hammer head would not get lost.
Crazy Eagle said, “The road today is not easy.”
Lei Xingfeng buried his head behind the shield, his eyes only staring at his feet as he followed Feng Ying forward.
The journey was several times harder than yesterday, Yesterday, the wind was unbearable, Today, apart from the wind, there were also snowflakes in the wind. The snowflakes here were completely different from the snow Lei Xingfeng had seen in his previous life. Even the snow here was different from the snow Huya Castle had seen. The snow here should be borneol. Not only was it hard, but its edges were extremely sharp. It circled in the wind like countless knives flying in the air.
The snowflakes hit the shield and rang. Lei Xingfeng could not help but complain, “This is not fucking snow, this is a knife! The knife is not that powerful!”
Crazy Eagle laughed and said, “It’s just snow. If it’s hail, hehe, then it’ll be uncomfortable. Of course, with our abilities, we’re not afraid. But if that thing falls, it’s very frightening. We have to rely on our defenses to defend against it …”
XinFeng and Crazy Eagle worked together, Crazy Eagle’s shield stood in front of them. XinFeng’s shield stood above their heads, covering the two of them. In fact, with their cultivation, they didn’t care about the snowflakes at all. Even if it was a real knife, they weren’t afraid. However, their leather robes couldn’t stand it. After a long time, they would really be torn apart by the snowflakes. If they didn’t have a thick leather robe able to cover them in such a place, even they wouldn’t be able to endure it.
Fortunately, there was a leather hat with a hood that could cover his mouth, so it didn’t matter if he spoke. He just needed to speak loudly so that others could hear him.
After walking for about two hours, Xin Zhaolun said, “There’s a shelter ahead. Let’s rest for a while before we leave! We’re about to enter the Box Ditch Glacier. It’s more dangerous there, so cheer up.”
Very quickly, everyone arrived at a crack in the ice cliff. There were three ice walls, and the entrance and exit were empty. Seeing the snow leaving white marks in the gale, everyone entered the crack and the piercing chill immediately lessened a lot.
Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, let’s take advantage of this opportunity to eat some more dry rations. Let’s catch our breath and leave.”
In this kind of place, food was very important. As long as there was enough food in their stomachs and they were cultivators, they would be able to withstand such cold weather.
Consuming food was much stronger than consuming their respective Lun Yin power and seals. Lun Yin power and seals were the basis for maintaining combat strength. If they were to be uselessly consumed, if they were to encounter any danger, then it would truly be miserable. Xin Zhaolun was very experienced in this kind of thing. As long as he had the chance, he would let everyone eat.
Everyone had prepared food in their Lunzang Space. As for the hammer head and the Wild Axe, they had all been prepared by Xin Zhaolun. The two natives had no use for Lunzang Space, so they had to carry everything on their backs. Of course, Xin Zhaolun had hired them, so there was no need to worry about the food.
XinFeng prepared a lot of cold food, especially all kinds of soy sauce and stewed meat. He prepared a large pile of them. So did Crazy Hawk and Tiger Addict. They prepared a large amount of food. As for the half-dead Jin Daya, he also took out meat to eat.
Crazy Eagle took out a sauce-roasted duck, and a red light flashed in his hand. Instantly, the entire sauce-roasted duck emitted hot air. Before he could eat two bites, the duck was as hard as steel. It could freeze the hot duck as iron in a few breaths of time, so every time he took a bite, Crazy Eagle’s palm would flash.
Lei Xingfeng wasn’t that extravagant. The meat he took out was all processed. It was similar to a child’s fist. It could be stuffed directly into his mouth. Every time his palm flickered with a small arc, it could instantly heat the meat.
After eating a dozen pieces of meat and drinking a few more mouthfuls of wine in one go, Lei Xingfeng finally finished this replenishment. Actually, this little thing was just a cushion for their stomachs. They didn’t have time to stay for long. Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, tidy up. We’re going into the Box Ditch Glacier.”
Hangou glacier, more than 120 kilometers long, more than 30 kilometers wide, Fortunately, Xin Zhaolun and the others were going to cross, Instead of following them, with their speed, they would definitely not be able to walk more than 120 kilometers a day. In such a harsh climate, even if they were cultivators, they were all True Human experts. To be able to walk 80 kilometers a day was already an amazing thing. In fact, in the glacier, being able to walk 50 kilometers a day was already enough to make them laugh secretly.
That’s one reason they don’t dare to waste time. They have to cross the glacier quickly.
As soon as he entered the glacier, Xin Zhaolun gathered everyone around him and formed a small circle. He said, “To cut a long story short, remember two points. First, leave as soon as possible without stopping. Second, if you encounter danger, be it humans or beasts, attack with all their might. They don’t want to kill the enemy. Of course, it’s better to just kill them. Don’t entangle them. Don’t chase them, remember?”
XinFeng’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t ask. He only replied, “Remember!”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, Hammerhead, I’ll walk side by side with you. In a narrow place, you only need to guide the way. I’ll be in front, you’ll be in the back!”
The hammer head said straightforwardly, “Alright!”
When everyone was on their way, XinFeng asked, “Uncle Eagle, are there wild beasts here?”
“Yes,” said Crazy Eagle. “And a lot of them.”
Lei Xingfeng was speechless. He said, “How is this possible … This kind of climate is difficult for even humans to survive. How can there be wild beasts?” Before he came, he had always thought that this place was similar to Huya Castle’s, but when he walked into the ice field, he immediately gave up this idea. It was too cold, he could not think of any wild beasts that could live in this climate.
Mad Eagle said, “The wild beasts here, um, are ready to say that they can’t be said to be wild beasts anymore. Instead, they are unique ice beasts. There are quite a few of them, and they are very powerful.”
XinFeng was puzzled, “We came all the way here, but we didn’t see any ice beasts either.”
Crazy Eagle smiled and said, “This is very normal. Do you think that ice beasts are the same as wild beasts on the mountains? There are many ice beasts everywhere. A single ice beast occupies at least ten kilometers of territory. This heavy snow has scattered all odors. Even if the two sides are separated by a hundred meters, it is very difficult to meet each other.”
XinFeng was actually a formidable hunter. He said, “In other words, unless it was face-to-face, it would be very difficult to meet an ice beast.”
“That’s right,” said Feng Ying. “Even in a battle, as long as one side intentionally escapes, the other side will be very difficult to track. Most importantly, this is not the hunting season. Even if there are ice beasts, they will still be hiding.”
Lei Xingfeng looked up and saw that there were steep icicles and ice cliffs all around him. The snowflakes blown by the wind drew white marks in his vision net. He could not see them clearly from a distance. He was a little puzzled and said, “I wonder how the hammer used to identify its position.”
Mad Eagle said, “Therefore, in the wild, we must have the local natives to lead the way, and we must also protect them.”
XinFeng said, “Oh, I see.”
So it wasn’t hunting season, so Lei Xingfeng wondered where the ice beasts would hide. After pondering for a long time, he could not figure out why, so he did not think too much and tried his best to follow the team forward.
Xin Zhaolun rushed to the front. He was holding a shield in his hand. He saw XinFeng using the shield and felt that it was very good. He asked XinFeng for a steel shield. He did not have such a low-grade weapon.
‘”What the fuck is this? Why do I feel my hair stand on end?” Xinfeng’s scalp went numb when he heard the continuous clicking sound. He couldn’t help but ask, “What the fuck is this sound? Why do I feel my hair stand on end!”
Behind him, Tiger Addict said, “That’s the sound of ice ribs cracking.”
Lei Xingfeng looked up and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “If this thing collapses, it will be enough for us to endure.”
“It’s fine. There are two nine rings and two eight rings. No matter what kind of ice ridge or ice cliff collapses, there’s no problem. Just shatter it.” Tiger Addict smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of cracking sounds coming from ahead.
Xin Zhaolun’s voice came from the front, “Everyone, be careful!”
