Chapter 257: Snow Mountain Snow Demon, Cloudy Mist, Mysterious Danger It was the cold winter season, and the winter days in Yunze seemed colder than the winter outside. The gloomy snowstorm made the sky look desolate and vast. The cold wind was howling in the sky, blowing up large balls of wet snowflakes that hit people on the head. It was enough to freeze ordinary warriors into popsicles and cause them to have a sore nose and a headache. The Black Tortoise Saint outside Chu Ge's body was surrounded by a light black Black Spirit Armor, which blocked the wind and snow and was not affected at all. It only took the Oiran Bird one day and one night to arrive from Youzhou to Yunze, Hengzhou. After resting for a day, everyone continued their journey and officially entered Yunze on the second day. At this moment, a faint light flashed between Chu Ge's eyebrows. The Goshawk's clairvoyance kite was flying far away, carefully observing the scene in the distance. However, in the distance, the dark shadows of the woods were very eye-catching under the light of the snow. Some leafless woods, full of bare branches, appeared as black as charcoal, standing coldly and quietly. Continuing to extend his sight forward, Chu Ge saw a stretch of mountains, all covered by snow and cold fog. Even with the observation field of the Goshawk Clairvoyance Kite, he could only see things in a very small range.
"There is a snowy mountain ahead. If we pass through it and fly for another two days, we will be able to reach the ruins. But at this time of year, there is no guarantee that there won’t be powerful monsters or even demons in the snowy mountains, so everyone should be careful.” At this time, Dongfang Qiling, who was flying in front, reminded everyone through spiritual transmission. On the backs of several demonic birds, everyone responded. Chu Ge was about to nod in response when the kite with eagle-like vision suddenly noticed a strange scene. However, in the snow-capped mountains, there was an ice forest that looked like icicles, ice sculptures and snow figures, like jade palaces and silver waves lapping against the shore. At this time, there were many strange monsters and birds in the ice forest, some crawling on the ground, some standing on ice pillars, all worshiping towards the snow-capped mountains. This extremely human scene surprised Chu Ge and he quickly became alert. At this moment, it seemed as if a gray cloud covered the sky, and suddenly a dark sharp claw grabbed down, as if the branch of a giant tree stretched out its branches towards the gray sky. Chu Ge's heart skipped a beat. Before he could see clearly, he felt a burning sensation on the paper-cut eagle eye between his eyebrows. It burned without fire, and the spiritual spirit connected to the eagle's clairvoyance also dissipated. His face changed slightly, knowing that the Goshawk's Clairvoyance had been destroyed. This is the first time this has happened. In the past, when the clairvoyance kite was not yet perfected, there had been experiences of being noticed by others. But there has never been an experience where the eagle's clairvoyance has been destroyed. "What was that just now? A powerful monster?" Chu Ge recalled the scene he had just witnessed, not sure whether it was a huge claw breaking through the clouds or the branch of some huge tree. Yunze’s dangerousness is indeed extraordinary. "Brother Li?" At this time, without receiving a response from Chu Ge, Dongfang Qiling conveyed his message again.
Chu Ge glanced at the snowy and foggy scene in the distance and responded quickly. "The snowy mountain ahead is dangerous. There are at least some monsters or demons at the spiritual level. We have to go around it!" He did not hide his spiritual message from others, and it was clearly conveyed to everyone's heart. Dongfang Qiling was stunned, quickly took out the map from his arms and looked at it, hesitantly said. "No way. I personally explored this snowy mountain once a year ago. It's not too dangerous. It's one of the safe routes." Jing Shichang laughed and said, "Brother Li, how did you detect such a powerful monster ahead? We are at least two hundred miles away from here because of the snowy mountains. Even with the spiritual power of the Eastern Sect Master, it is impossible for him to detect the situation two hundred miles away in advance." "Could he be a fortune teller?" The Corpse King sneered in agreement. Facing everyone's doubts and inquiries, Feng Jie stood by Chu Ge's side without hesitation and said calmly, "Corpse King, you are right. He really can tell fortunes. I believe him. Let's go around the front." Dongfang Qiling and Bian Du looked at each other, and then said, "Well, I will go ahead and carefully investigate alone. Everyone, please slow down. If there is anything wrong, we will immediately take a detour." He paused, then looked at Chu Ge and bowed politely, "Thank you for your reminder, brother Li. It's not that I don't believe you, but there are dangers everywhere in Yunze. We'd better try to follow the safe route we explored before, so we should confirm it first." "It's okay. It's normal for Sect Master Dongfang to be cautious and steady. I will just walk slowly and wait." Chu Ge bowed in return. If it was just a strange monster in the Spirit God Realm, it wouldn't be a big deal. As long as it wasn't a terrifying monster in the late Spirit God Realm, with everyone's strength, they could easily get through it by working together. But if it is a demon, then it will be very troublesome. Moreover, this is within Yunze. Although there are not many demons in the Spirit God Realm on the periphery, they still exist. If we make too much noise and attract some powerful demons, we will be in a passive position. Soon, Dongfang Qiling rode the strange bird forward alone. Not long after, the snow fog that filled the snow-capped mountains over there began to tremble like a huge, soft wool blanket, and actually began to spread outward on its own, with a bluish-white icy light flashing in the air. In the snow fog that no one could see, long icicles, like fangs or upside-down knives, suddenly extended from the depths of the snow fog, revealing a hideous corner. A powerful and vast spiritual power emanated from the snow and fog, full of oppression. "metropolitan!" Bian Du exclaimed, and watched as Dongfang Qi Ling was instantly covered and crushed by the spreading snow mist. Chu Ge and others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. At this moment, a long whistle erupted from the snow fog, and there seemed to be a dull thunder sound faintly. Not long after, Dongfang Qiling's figure appeared on the horizon, holding the shining Qiling sword in his hand. The oiran bird under his seat had disappeared. He quickly moved away from the spreading snow fog and rushed towards where everyone was. "Go! Back away quickly!" Dongfang Qiling shouted loudly, his expression extremely serious. Bian Du immediately drove the demon bird closer to provide support.
Chu Ge shook his head in his heart, thinking that this person really wanted to use his face to explore the way, and immediately turned around and the courtesan bird under him retreated without hesitation. "Good for you!" Feng Jie quickly followed and winked at Chu Ge from a distance. Jing Shichang and the Corpse King stopped talking nonsense and quickly turned around to bypass them, feeling doubtful and puzzled about Chu Ge's super strong detection ability. Even Dongfang Qiling, a powerful warrior in the late stage of the Spirit God Realm who was holding the intermediate acquired divine weapon Qiling Sword, was defeated. The monster lurking in the snow-capped mountains was at least in the late stage of the Spirit God Realm. Generally speaking, demons at the same level are much stronger than warriors at the same level. This is because demons are larger in size, have thicker skin and flesh, and possess innate abilities, which is equivalent to super-powerful warriors with natural magical weapons. Among them, the demons are even protected by the will of some demon lords from foreign lands, and cannot be eliminated except by those in the Yin God realm. Therefore, demons of the same realm can basically fight against two to five warriors of the same realm, and must not be provoked easily. The five people dodged and retreated very quickly, and the powerful demon in the snow mountain did not really chase them out, but only made a terrifying whistling sound like a blizzard, and then the surging snow mist retreated. After half a stick of incense. The group bypassed the snow-capped mountains and stopped to rest in an open area hundreds of miles away. "Brother Li, this time it's really thanks to you for discovering it in advance, otherwise we would have rushed in headfirst and would have had to go through a fierce battle, and these Oiran monster birds might have been wiped out." Dongfang Qiling took a gulp of water from a pot in his hand, then bowed to Chu Ge. Bian Du agreed, "Yes, if the Oiran demon bird is dead, our journey will be much slower, and we may even have to take detours on some safe roads. That will be troublesome." Chu Ge asked suspiciously, "What exactly is in that snowy mountain? What's its strength?" "He is at least a terrifying guy in the middle or late stage of the Spirit God Realm." Dongfang Qiling frowned and thought, "It looks like the snow demon that is said to exist in the depths of Yunze, but the snow demon has never appeared in such a marginal area, so I can't be sure. Anyway, for safety's sake we should avoid it. We can't let casualties occur before we even enter the ruins." "Snow Demon." The Corpse King seemed to be thinking about something, as if he had also heard of the name of the Snow Demon in the depths of Yunze. Dongfang Qiling looked at Chu Ge, clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Since Brother Li has the ability to detect danger ahead in advance, we will have to rely on Brother Li more if we want to change the route next. Brother Li, rest assured. After this, regardless of whether the treasure hunt in the ruins is successful or not, our Qiling Sect will definitely pay an additional 100 pieces of alien force crystals as a reward." Chu Ge glanced at Dongfang Qiling and wanted to let the other party pay the bill first. However, although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it in public. He could only clasp his fists, smile and say a few polite words. Although the Goshawk's Clairvoyance kite was destroyed, he was still able to use the Ziwei secret technique in conjunction with the auspicious hexagram to predict disasters in advance, and the effect was equally good. After a short rest, everyone continued on their journey, trying to reach one of the safe supply points on the map drawn by Dongfang Qiling before dark. Because once night falls in Yunze, it seems like another world, and some strange mists will appear and float around irregularly. Once people fall into the depth of the fog, they will be confused and lose their direction. When you get out of the fog, you will find yourself deep in the dangerous Yunze, which is one of the reasons why Yunze is called a "dangerous place". However, there are often some unofficial historical records of lucky people who accidentally entered the Yunze fog and when they woke up they appeared next to a natural divine weapon, and were favored by the divine weapon and recognized as its master. As to whether they are true or false, there are many different opinions.
After that, the journey was smooth and everyone quickly arrived at the first safe supply point. After a short rest, they continued their journey the next day. By the night of the second day, they had already penetrated deep into Yunze and were almost approaching the ruins. And on this night, the aurora suddenly danced in the sky like strands of silk, and a large area of enchanting, gorgeous, and dreamy mist emerged. Wherever the fog passed, the trees along the way seemed to be covered with silver flowers. Some illusory ancient buildings flashed dazzling silver light like jade palaces, like ancient relics, attracting people to explore. "Get out of the way! This is Yunze Mist. I didn't expect it to appear so close to the supply point this time!" Dongfang Qiling reminded with a grim look on his face, and was the first to rush out of the supply point, mobilizing the Oiran Demon Bird to retreat in the opposite direction of the fog. "Is this Yunze Mist?" Chu Ge also rushed out and retreated. He turned around to look, and felt that where the fog was thick, even the strange forces of heaven and earth began to become restless, and he had a vague sense of terror that a disaster was about to happen. Inside Snake Bao's bag, Xiao Qian seemed restless, as if something in the depths of the fog was attracting her and making her eager to come out. Chu Ge was slightly surprised. Due to the existence of the Corpse King these days, Xiao Qian has been hiding in the Snake Treasure's bag with Jixiang Ruyi Gua Qian, not daring to move. He was surprised that he was so agitated today. However, the Yunze Mist had a terrible reputation. Even if there was something in it that attracted Xiao Qian, he did not dare to let Xiao Qian go to find it alone. He decided to retreat for the time being. Everyone retreated quickly. The fog over there seemed to have emerged from a deep, misty ravine and quickly enveloped the previous supply point. It was like a huge, misty halo that drew a half circle between the sky and the earth. The scene was astonishing. In the bizarre mist, there were faint hints of cranes and reindeer flying in groups and playing in teams. There were green pavilions and red railings, a faint palace, and a long bridge lying on the waves. Sometimes a palace appears, with towering palaces and soaring pavilions; sometimes there are secluded ravines and valleys, with beautiful grasses and gorgeous flowers. "It is said that what appears in the Yunze mist is the scene of the ancient sect before the tide of ancient vitality receded. At that time, the vitality was rich and everyone was like a dragon. Although the vitality has receded now, there are Yuan mineral veins in Yunze, so the wonders of the past will occasionally reappear." At this time, Dongfang Qiling said in a deep voice, and everyone around him looked surprised, looking at the foggy scene from afar, with fear and longing in their eyes. If we were living in that era, with everyone's qualifications, we would have reached the spiritual god realm by now. "Could it be that the energy deep in the fog is what attracted Xiao Qian to move?" Chu Ge said in his heart. Suddenly, a precious light shot up into the sky from the fog, and a sword flew out from the sky, shooting cold light at the bull. It was extremely shocking, and gave off a strong fluctuation of a magic weapon, like a powerful innate magic weapon, which made people's heart beat fast. At this moment, another long rope like a rainbow flew out and entangled the long sword, like a fight between a dragon and a tiger. The fight was so intense and colorful that everyone was dazzled. The Corpse King said in a low voice, "Dragon Slaying Sword, Tiger Binding Belt, Activate the Tian Gang Wu Dou Tip" A rare hint of greed appeared in his silent eyes. In such a situation, if someone who didn't know Yunze's appearance saw it, he would probably be quickly sucked into the fog and disappear into the depths of Yunze.
Chu Ge touched the snake treasure bag on his waist with a strange look on his face. He unexpectedly noticed that the Tiger King Mace in the bag was also moving strangely, as if it was attracted by the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Tiger Binding Belt and wanted to rush out of the snake treasure bag and into the fog. If the Tiger King Mace had not already been frightened by his ferocity, it would have torn its bag and rushed out. "Strange, why do all the things on my body like to rush into the fog? It seems that I have to make some preparations and explore the fog in the future." Chu Ge was thinking in his mind, with no expression on his face. When he tentatively thought of getting closer to the fog, the cloak behind him began to shake slightly. The auspicious hexagram Qian hanging on his cloak was warning him of danger. Chu Ge suppressed his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Everyone watched quietly from a distance for a long time, until the day came and the Yunze fog slowly dissipated. Everything seemed like a mirage, an illusory spectacle. If it weren't for the fact that a pig demon that was captured at the supply point and had not yet been slaughtered mysteriously disappeared when the fog faded away, it would have seemed that the fog was just a beautiful slide show and not a danger at all. "You've seen it, next time you encounter this kind of fog, retreat as soon as possible. Fortunately, this fog only appears at night, so we can reach the ruins during the day." Dongfang Qiling reminded everyone and asked them to hurry on their way again, then turned around and politely clasped his fists towards Chu Ge. Chu Ge nodded slightly and began to use the Ziwei secret technique to detect the situation ahead. At the same time, I gradually became alert. As he got closer to the ruins, he felt more and more dangerous, and the warning of the auspicious hexagram Qian hanging behind his cloak was particularly obvious. However, the ruins are inherently dangerous, which Dongfang Qiling had already reminded people of. Therefore, he was just on guard, but he had no intention of retreating. (End of this chapter)
