Chapter 185: Headed for the Shore
It seemed that Jiang Yun would have to face more obstacles on the trip back to Thunder City.
The three of them came to a cave entrance that was covered in snow.
There was a fence next to the cave entrance as if something was kept in captivity. The three of them walked forward and saw a few large white-furred bears tied to the fence. These white-furred bears had saddles that could accommodate two people on their backs.
“These are adult white-furred bears from the Northern Region. With them, our speed will be much faster in this world of ice and snow. He will help us reach the shore faster.”
Liu Xun hurriedly pushed his palm forward and moved it back and forth a few times. The snow that had buried the entrance of the cave was instantly cleaned up by him. Then, he leads out two white-furred bears from the fence.
This white-furred bear was very different from what Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi had seen when they entered the Northern Region. If the white-furred bear held by Liu Xun stood up, it would probably be half a body taller than Jiang Yun.
When the white-furred bear came to Liu Xun’s side, it let out a whimper. Then, it rubbed its furry cheek against Liu Xun’s arm.
“Don’t worry. This white-furred bear is very docile. It usually has no ill intentions towards humans.”
Hence, Liu Xun led the two white-furred bears towards the cave entrance.
Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi followed behind.
Finally, the trio arrived at the icy plain.
At this moment, it was already midnight in the Northern Region.
The cold wind raged and snow covered the sky.
Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi braved the cold wind and slowly walked out of the cave entrance.
After Liu Xun gave some general instructions, Jiang Yun mounted the saddle of the white-furred bear. Then, he reached out and pulled Qin Xiaoxi up as well. Liu Xun mounted the other white-furred bear.
The white-furred bear let out a few whimpering sounds in the night sky. Then, it led the three of them forward quickly.
“This secret passage saves a lot of time. It won’t take long for us to reach the foot of Holy Saint Mountain.” Jiang Yun could not help but exclaim in surprise. However, at this moment, his voice was drowned out by the fierce wind and snow.
“Yes, the secret passage that the clansmen built in the mountain back then were the fastest way to reach the foot of the mountain.” Liu Xun patted the flying snow on his face and said loudly.
“So, you’re saying that there are other secret passageways?” Jiang Yun shouted.
“That’s right. There are seven secret passageways in the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. They crisscross and extend in all directions. However, it’s easy for outsiders to lose their way if they enter. However, this can also help the people in the hall of the Divine Region to quickly descend the mountain and reach the surroundings of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain,” Liu Xun explained.
“That is very impressive. It is definitely not an easy task to construct a passageway within a high mountain like the Holy Saint Snow Mountain.” Jiang Yun could not help but sigh.
“This snow monster actually did not follow us.”
It was strange to say that they had arrived. It had been a long time since the three of them had walked out of the cave. However, they could not see any trace of this giant monster.
“Perhaps it is still staying on the mountain.” Jiang Yun turned his head to glance at the huge Holy Saint Snow Mountain.
“It’s a good thing that it didn’t appear. You two should hurry back to the shore and leave immediately,” Liu Xun said quickly and ordered the two of them to move quickly.
“But if we don’t get rid of this giant monster, your lives will be restless. It’s better to get rid of it completely so that you can move freely in the Northern Region,” Jiang Yun said.
“It’s too troublesome to get rid of him now. I have my own ways of dealing with these matters. Aren’t you in a hurry? You can do it now.” Liu Xun hurriedly led the two of them in the direction where Jiang Yun and the others had come from.
The two of them also hurried to catch up.
“So, the Power of Blood Shadow has already appeared on your land. Can I ask what exactly happened?”
Qin Xiaoxi described the incident between the men in black and He Zhao to Liu Xun.
“It seems that they are the ones who invaded the Northern Region.” Liu Xun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “I didn’t expect that after so many years, these people, neither human nor ghost, are still around.”
“Their origins are too mysterious. I’m afraid that it will not be easy to completely capture the source.” Jiang Yun sighed.
“However, since ancient times, evil has always prevailed over good. I believe that the two of you will definitely be able to help the place where you live to overcome the difficult times. It’s only because I have a duty and my wife is also heavily injured that I am unable to go with you to destroy this detestable Blood Shadow Sect.”
Liu Xun also sighed.
“Don’t blame yourself, Brother Liu. You have already helped us a lot by giving us the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma.”
Before the giant monster left the mountain, the three of them hastened their pace. The white-furred bear from the Northern Region also took large strides towards the Crescent Moon Mountain.
“Oh…” Qin Xiaoxi placed her hands on Jiang Yun’s shoulders as she felt the biting wind and snow coming towards her. She didn’t know why, but she felt indescribably comfortable at the moment.
Perhaps it was because they had finally obtained the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma, or perhaps it was because they had successfully saved a couple with their help.
“Are you cold?” Jiang Yun suddenly asked.
“No.” Qin Xiaoxi shook her head.
“Then you better hold on tight and don’t fall,” Jiang Yun reminded her again and again.
“Of course. I don’t need you to tell me that.”
Qin Xiaoxi looked away. The scene on the Holy Saint Snow Mountain flashed through her mind again. Jiang Yun’s gentle and lively eyes and light breathing, it was as if all of this had happened again. Qin Xiaoxi shook her head as she thought of this.
“Restrain yourself, Qin Xiaoxi… restrain yourself.”
Qin Xiaoxi felt her face turn hot again.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yun suddenly asked.
“No, nothing…” Qin Xiaoxi quickly shook her head.
With the white-furred bear of the Northern Region running wildly, the two of them quickly arrived at the foot of Crescent Moon Mountain. It was still the familiar narrow mountain stream and the strange clouds halfway up the mountain.
“Brother Liu, I have a question.”
The three of them quickly stopped in front of the mountain.
“What’s wrong?”
At this point, Jiang Yun quickly turned his gaze to the strange clouds on the mountainside.
“How could these clouds stay quietly on the mountainside even in a snowstorm? Shouldn’t they be blown away by the wind and snow?” This was indeed something that Jiang Yun couldn’t figure out no matter how hard he tried.
