Chapter 148: Setting Off Again

At this moment, Jiang Yun was looking at the two mountains in front of him.

At some point, the clouds at the peak of the mountain began to gradually disperse.

Behind the two mountains, Jiang Yun could vaguely see a huge mountain peak. That was… Holy Saint Snow Mountain?

But that Holy Saint Snow Mountain seemed to be a great distance away from here.

Just as Jiang Yun was trying to get a better look, the clouds between the two mountains drifted over for some reason and blocked Jiang Yun’s line of sight.

“Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi,” Jiang Yun called out to Qin Xiaoxi.

“What’s wrong? Why are you calling me?” When Qin Xiaoxi heard Jiang Yun calling out to her, she immediately stopped feeding the white-furred bears and turned her head to look at Jiang Yun with a strange expression.

“I think I saw the Holy Saint Snow Mountain just now. It’s right behind this mountain, but it seems to be far away.”Jiang Yun stared at the fog covering the two mountains.

“Really?”

Jiang Yun nodded.

“Yes, the fog that was covering the mountains was beginning to fade, but now it’s back. I can’t see it anymore.”Jiang Yun continued to stare at the fog.

Qin Xiaoxi quickly stood up when she heard this. She also looked in his direction, but the fog was too thick. She couldn’t see the Holy Saint Snow Mountain that Jiang Yun mentioned.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Xiaoxi noticed the strange expression on Jiang Yun’s face and asked with some worry.

Jiang Yun shook his head.

Then, he said, “I don’t know why, but I keep feeling that the clouds surrounding these two mountains are a little strange.”

“What do you mean?”Qin Xiaoxi asked curiously.

Jiang Yun couldn’t tell why.

“Look at the wind in the northern region.”

Qin Xiaoxi immediately felt the wind when she heard this. She didn’t know if it was because of the timing of their arrival or because of some other reason, but the wind from the northern region was always blowing in waves.

“There is some wind.”

“Look, the wind is always blowing in waves, but the clouds surrounding the mountains don’t seem to be affected at all.”

Hearing Jiang Yun, Qin Xiaoxi instantly realized what he was saying.

Indeed, although the wind wasn’t strong today, it was still strong enough to affect the clouds. However, the clouds that Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi saw didn’t seem to be affected by the wind at all. The clouds are just quietly surrounding the mountains as if something was deliberately doing it.

“Yeah, it’s a little strange when you put it that way.” Qin Xiaoxi sighed. “Do you know the reason?”

Jiang Yun shook his head. He could not explain the reason.

“In short, we need to be careful. We should try our best to find a path at the foot of the mountain and not climb up if possible. Some things are better left alone.” Jiang Yun’s expression was solemn, as was the case for all things that he had never encountered before.

Qin Xiaoxi nodded hurriedly.

“Then we should set off.” Jiang Yun said to Qin Xiaoxi, “Based on my observation, the Holy Saint Snow Mountain is far away from us, so we should continue our journey before it gets dark.”

Qin Xiaoxi agreed.

She also hurriedly got up.

“Goodbye, little guys! I’ll come back to see you in two days.”

Qin Xiaoxi patted the heads of two of the white-furred bears and then set off with Jiang Yun. The white-furred bears behind them whimpered again as if they didn’t want them to leave.

“It’ll probably be even colder at night than during the day, right?” Qin Xiaoxi looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky was filled with dark clouds, looking quite morbid. Ever since they arrived in the northern region, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi had barely seen the sun.

The only times that they had seen the sun were when they just departed and when they were about to arrive at the northern region.

“Yes, it will be colder than this. Looking at the weather, it’s hard to say if there would be a snowstorm tonight. It would be fine if we don’t run into one, but if we do, we would be buried under ice and snow before we freeze to death.”

Jiang Yun nodded and gave Qin Xiaoxi a warning.

Qin Xiaoxi was not very shocked. The dark clouds in the sky looked like they were going to crush them at any moment. It seemed that tonight was not going to be peaceful.

“Then we’d better hurry up and see if there are any caves at the bottom of the two mountains,” Qin Xiaoxi said.

“Caves?” Jiang Yun was a little speechless, but to them, it would be great if they could find a cave in this extremely cold place. “That would be the best.”

“You really thought through everything. You even brought firewood.” Qin Xiaoxi nodded in satisfaction.

“You should have thought of it even if I didn’t.”Jiang Yun only smiled.

“Of course I would have.” Qin Xiaoxi pouted and quickened her pace.

“I don’t think I will be able to walk out of this mountain today.”

Jiang Yun sighed silently in his heart. At this moment, the two of them could feel that the wind in the sky was beginning to blow stronger. The cold wind was also beginning to howl in their ears. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun were also getting closer and closer to the two mountains.

As the distance continued to shrink, the originally flat snowy plains began to slope upwards.

Jiang Yun looked up with some worry. The cloud above them seemed to be floating strangely. For some reason, the two of them felt a little apprehensive when they looked at it.

Did they have to go through this cloud?

Jiang Yun could not help but start to worry.

As the snowfield began to incline, the two of them found it increasingly difficult to walk. Qin Xiaoxi was soon out of breath. The ice and snow became thinner, but this also caused the road under their feet to become slippery.
