Chapter 247 After the Snowstorm

Two weeks later, the heavy snow almost turned the ground into a purgatory on earth.

The bitter cold wind mixed with ice and snow raged in the mountains, blowing on the face like a knife. Even awakeners like Lindsay and Hong had to stop from time to time to rest.

It was a cold world with almost no signs of life.

However, after three days of this hellish scene.

The heavy snow stopped without warning.

The sun's rays tore through the thick dark clouds, and the temperature gradually warmed up.

Hong was a little bit unbelievable, or inexplicable:

"Lindsay, is the snow going to stop?"

"It has already stopped." Lindsay corrected the girl's statement, and then speculated, "The dragon beast's original intention should be to prevent you from reaching Black Mountain at the critical moment, not to kill us here."

Hong also reacted:

"Since it can't stop you, it can only let you go?"

Lindsay nodded and affirmed:

"And I think that even a seventh-stage strongman who plunders the world's essence can't maintain this kind of thing endlessly."

After making a conclusion, Lindsay changed the subject:

"But I think the dragon beast will definitely not succumb to reality. The cessation of wind and snow also means that there are other things ahead that hinder our progress."

Hong shrugged indifferently:

"Then let's give it a try."

Leaving the snow-covered weather, Lindsay and Hong stepped up their journey.

Another sunset a week later.

There was no trace of wind and snow around, and Lindsay and Hong began to prepare camp and rest as usual.

This journey.

They intercepted several waves of resuscitators and used Hong's body to extract a lot of information.

This time they were prepared and progressed more smoothly.

The guy called Anyuan.

He told the resuscitators to take Hong to the bottom of the Black Mountain and enter a secret passage under the glacier if they found her.

Anyuan didn't want the dragon beast to meet Hong.

This tunnel pointed directly to the bottom of the Black Mountain. The location was for Hong to approach secretly and use the means prepared in advance to counter the dragon beast.

"Chirp--"

At dusk.

The singing of birds sounded in the bushes nearby.

Lindsay turned his head and found that they were several nightingales.

These birds are solitary creatures and only move together when migrating. The previous blizzard changed the temperature changes in Qianshan Stone Forest, so they fled here to continue to survive.

"Is this singing for me?"

Lindsay listened to the singing of the nightingale and arranged the camp in front of the campfire.

At this time, there was no pressing cold wind in the sky, but he still reclaimed the farmland on the spot and started a new batch of material reserves.

Not long after, Hong also came back.

After the temperature returned to normal, the appearance of wild beasts and monsters around also returned to normal.

The girl easily caught the prey and came back with an antelope:

"Lindsay, since we can hunt again, why do we need to grow food so frequently?"

Lindsay immediately replied:

"I don't want the same dilemma to happen again."

"Now make more preparations. If there are dragon beasts or other things next time, which cause a dilemma that we can't grow food, these reserves will come in handy."

Hong shrugged, somewhat disapproving:

"Well, anyway, you are much more careful than me."

Seeing Lindsay cultivating the farmland, Hong did not continue to bother her, and began to skin and process the antelope meat.

Hong's skills were a little rusty, but she could handle such work.

However, when it came to cooking, she would definitely let Lindsay prepare the ingredients, after all, the temptation of perfect food was there.

Wait until the dead antelope was roughly decomposed.

Hongcai asked Lindsay on the other side:

"Lindsay, we have killed more than a dozen resurrectors, and the news is almost complete."

"According to them, Abyss has full confidence in dealing with dragon beasts, even when they advance to the eighth stage. This means that his preparations must be very effective and can target dragon beasts so that they cannot resist."

Lindsay nodded:

"Yes, and this is prepared for you, you must be closely related to it."

Hong tried to ask:

"Then let me disguise my identity, infiltrate their forces, and then use the results of all this?"

Linsey paused while turning the soil, and her tone became serious:

"This is very dangerous for you."

"Look at what you said." Hong asked with a smile, "Is it not dangerous for us to kill the dragon beast?"

Linsey wanted to persuade, but Hong interrupted and said:

"Linsey, you explained to me the meaning of adventure - to take risks to engage in a certain activity."

The girl's eyes were extremely firm, and there was no trace of fear in her pupils:

"Since you have chosen this, you should meet the challenge!"

"Are you right?"

"..."

The sun rises and sets, and the years pass by.

Relying on the dual protection of maps and radars, Linsey and Hong shuttled through the thousands of mountains and stone forests, almost completely hiding their tracks.

They bumped into other resurrectors on the road.

But after obtaining enough intelligence, the two did not intend to continue to expose their whereabouts. So they avoided these enemies and continued on their way in silence.

This long and hidden journey took more time than imagined.

It even takes years as the unit of time!

Although the temperature of the Black Mountain World is almost unaffected by seasonal changes.

But they left the Thousand Mountains and Stone Forest several months later, and after another cycle of seasons from spring to winter, they finally saw their destination in the distance.

——Black Mountain.

A cold wind blew from the east.

The surrounding glaciers seemed to be in a deep dream, and a dark isolated peak stood in the surroundings, like an island protruding from the undercurrent of the deep sea.

The rising sun cast an orange halo on the snow below the Black Mountain.

The black figure that broke through the clouds at high altitude was extremely deep, as if an old man who had been sleeping for countless years was overlooking the cold world around him.

"It's so beautiful..."

Lindsay sighed subconsciously.

Hong beside him nodded in agreement, but his tone was very dangerous:

"Yes, it's quite beautiful."

"If the dragon beast can be eliminated from this picture, it would be even better!"

Lindsay glanced at him:

"You said it as if you could see the dragon beast."

Hong smiled:

"At least I feel it in my heart."

Both of them have the ability to sense the source.

But at such a long distance, it is impossible to sense the dragon beast on the Black Mountain.

The world is big enough to accommodate everything.

At this moment, Hong suddenly pointed to the land in front of him:

"Lindsay, look there!"

Lindsay looked in the direction.

The water flow after the glacier melted gathered around to form a wide river. It directly blocked the entire glacier area, and its surging momentum seemed to be able to block all travelers who wanted to reach the other side.

Hong continued to ask:

"Didn't you show me that note before?"

"The glaciers around the Black Mountain shouldn't have gathered into such a big river, right?"

"You remember it correctly." Lindsay nodded first, then shook his head, "This river, at least, appeared after the expedition passed by, within this hundred years!"

Hong shook his head disdainfully:

"During this year, I thought it would come up with some sure-fire way to stop me, but I didn't expect it to come up with this?"

The girl turned her head and looked at Lindsay:

"Lindsay, do you think there will be any strange things in this water? We're done after we jump in!"

"Hehe——"

Lindsay sneered and took out the meteorite pickaxe directly from his bag:

"Only a fool would go into this river if he knew there was a problem."

"Hong, take out your stuff too, let's dig a tunnel!"
