Chapter 178: The Comeback
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxi was terrified. Fortunately, Jiang Yun firmly held onto her, so she felt better.
The two of them walked for a while and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
“Is this… the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma?” Qin Xiaoxi was extremely shocked. She followed her gaze and saw two huge Ganoderma growing on the edge of the cliff. For some reason, the Ganoderma was emitting white light.
“This should be it.” Jiang Yun slowly let go of Qin Xiaoxi’s hand. The two of them slowly came to the two Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. The entire Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma was transparent, and the light did not seem to fade. The two Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma were like a bright lamp in the night, illuminating the peak of the mountain.
“Sister, you are saved.” Qin Xiaoxi’s eyes could not help but tear up.
“Yes, we succeeded.” Jiang Yun also heaved a long sigh of relief. After going through so much trouble to come to the Northern Region, he had finally obtained what he wanted.
“We succeeded…” Qin Xiaoxi also looked excitedly at Jiang Yun. Their gazes met, and both of them froze on the spot. At this moment, the whistling of the northern wind seemed to have disappeared as well. Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi’s clear eyes. He did not know where to place his eyes.
“I…”
Qin Xiaoxi also wanted to dodge, but at this moment, it was as if she was being handcuffed by Jiang Yun’s eyes.
The various scenes of this trip to the Northern Region began to appear in her mind.
From the bowl of beef noodles without chopped green onions… to the two of them risking their lives in front of the sea demon… Memories of them hugging each other in the cave, and then to Jiang Yun risking his life in the Northern Region. Everything seemed so real, but there was also a hint of confusion.
“What are you talking about? You’d better return to Thunder City alive.”
Qin Xiaoxi seemed to be falling for the person in front of her, but she doesn’t know. Before this, she has never been in a relationship, so she didn’t understand.
Qin Xiaoxi could only feel that her face was burning, even the biting cold of the north wind was nothing.
Ah, what to do what to do…
Qin Xiaoxi’s chest felt like countless kittens were jumping up and down.
What beautiful eyes.
Without realizing it, Jiang Yun slowly inched closer to Qin Xiaoxi’s face. Qin Xiaoxi could only feel the tip of his nose rubbing against her flushed cheeks. Qin Xiaoxi wanted to use her hands to scratch, but she restrained herself. She slowly closed her eyes and waited for Jiang Yun to slowly move closer.
As he continued to move closer, Qin Xiaoxi could even feel Jiang Yun’s breath.
Boom!
Just as their lips were about to touch, a violent shaking shook them away from each other.
Qin Xiaoxi didn’t seem to have recovered from her shock, but the violent shaking continued to increase. It was as if there was a strong earthquake on the ground, and they almost couldn’t stand up.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Yun hurried to the edge of the cliff.
It would have been better if they hadn’t seen it, but seeing it made the two of them suck in a breath of cold air.
In the deep mountain stream, a pair of huge red lanterns were rising bit by bit.
Jiang Yun knew that it was the huge snow monster they had encountered before the avalanche!
“How… how is it not dead yet?”
While they were talking, the two of them could clearly see that the huge palm of the Northern Region snow monster had grabbed the huge protruding rock at the top of the mountain and was climbing up bit by bit.
“This snow monster probably knows that we have killed many of its brothers and sisters, so it has come to seek revenge on us.” Jiang Yun frowned. At this moment, the snow monster’s other hand had already climbed up again. With this monster’s huge body, it would not take long for it to climb up to the top of Holy Saint Snow Mountain!
“Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma!” Qin Xiaoxi shouted quickly. Jiang Yun also rushed to the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma at the edge of the cliff. He plucked both of them and stuffed them into his storage bag.
“What should we do now?” Qin Xiaoxi was a little anxious.
“We can’t fight with him here. Otherwise, we’ll be buried in the deep valley with him. Let’s go back to the ruins!”
It wouldn’t be wise to fight the snow monster directly. After all, the snow monster was an existence that could raise dust with a stomp of its feet and make the earth tremble. Moreover, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi were both at the top of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. If they fought with the monster, they might not even injure it. The two of them would directly fall into the abyss because of the collapse of the mountain.
“Okay!” Jiang Yun quickly grabbed Qin Xiaoxi’s hands and prepared to go back the way they came.
However, every time the snow monster climbed, the entire Holy Saint Snow Mountain would start to shake violently. The stone stairs were also much more difficult to walk on. The two of them grabbed onto the rocks on the side and prepared to go down the mountain to return to the pa.s.sage of the ruins.
Boom! Boom!
With every violent shake, countless pieces of snow and gravel would roll down.
That scene was so thrilling!
Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi’s hearts were in their throats. Fortunately, the stone staircase was not long. The two of them successfully returned to the place where they had originally gone up.
At that moment, the man in the ruins had appeared at the entrance of the pa.s.sage.
“Did you get the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma?”
“Yes, but…”
“What’s going on?” The man walked out of the ruins following the movement.
“It’s a long story.” Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi hurried to the man’s side.
“The movement sounds like a troll from the Northern Region.” The man’s voice was very low. “You two go back to the pa.s.sage first.”
“What about you?” Jiang Yun asked curiously.
“This troll from the Northern Region was originally a very docile monster. However, I don’t know what went wrong decades ago. The eyes of all the trolls and snowmen turned red as if they were possessed.” The man quickly let the two of them hide in the ruins, “Let’s go in first.”
