1812 Into Snow Territory 7

The hidden guards from Shadow Door, along with Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin, were all startled by the sudden collapse.

The snow mountain hadn’t been particularly large, and the weather seemed fine. Yet, it unexpectedly crumbled.

The hidden guards swiftly surrounded Gu Chaoyan, intending to protect Elder Miss from any potential danger…

But then, they noticed Ouyang Mingjing standing right in their midst, employing his power to create a barrier, s.h.i.+elding them from the falling snow.

The thunderous noise abruptly ceased. However, the snow on the ground grew thicker, forming numerous snowdrifts that made walking arduous.

Fear gripped them all as they witnessed the scene.

The collapsing snowy mountain was terrifying, and so was the City Lord.

He single-handedly halted the snow mountain’s descent through sheer force. It was truly awe-inspiring!

Meanwhile, the hidden guards from Shadow Door finally understood why Elder Miss consistently sought contingency plans for their sake and expressed concern for them. Their skills and abilities significantly differed from those in the Snow Territory.

They glanced at the verdant mountains not far away, contrasted with the boundless expanse of snow. It was evident that challenging times lay ahead for them.

Such were the thoughts that silently occupied the minds of the hidden guards.

Ouyang Mingjing wore a gentle smile as he approached Gu Chaoyan, seemingly unaffected by the recent events. “You inquired about the remaining duration before reaching the city. I informed you that it would take ten days. Although Snow Territory is not vast, the environment is far from pleasant. The snow mountain’s collapse has created numerous obstacles, requiring us to adjust our plans.”

“…”

“This is the reason for the extended time.”

“…”

“However, there’s no need to worry. We have guards here to protect you from any potential snow collapses.” Ouyang Mingjing offered a brief smile.

Well…

That was precisely why Ouyang Mingjing harbored no complaints when Zhou Huaijin and his men were present.

In this snowy setting, they would find themselves utterly incapable.

Ouyang Mingjing derived a certain satisfaction from witnessing their struggles.

He couldn’t change the circ.u.mstances with Phoenix Girl back in the Saint Divine Land, and now, they both shared a sense of helplessness.

Gu Chaoyan gazed at the mountains that had formed due to the snow, her expression displaying a mixture of complexity and seriousness.

Well…

Winged spindles could endure the snow, leaving behind detectable traces if one paid close attention.

However…

If the snow mountains collapsed, there was little they could do.

And what Ouyang Mingjing was implying was that the mountains collapsed frequently, transforming into small hills each time. Consequently, the terrain constantly changed.

In their current situation, they had to adhere to the routine of the Snow Territory inhabitants.

Gu Chaoyan felt a deep sense of concern.

However, she concealed her worries, her face showing no signs of distress. “So, are we going to adjust our route soon?”
