97 SnowstormLooking at the snowstorm that was slowly getting stronger, Shen Hanyu, who was walking in the front, narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the girls behind him,
"It looks like there's going to be a snowstorm. Let's find a place to set up camp first."
The four girls nodded and walked forward for a short distance before they came to a huge pile of rocks exposed.
The tent was barely set up between two huge rocks. Shuiyue'er's face was already red from the cold and she was shivering all over.
Shen Hanyu took out wood from the soul guide and used his soul power to block the wind and snow, and then he barely started a fire.
Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu were fine, with almost no discomfort, and they still looked in good spirits.
Not to mention Shui Ningbing, she is even in the mood to tease Shen Liuyu and the other two girls, as if the harsh environment outside has nothing to do with her at all.
The warm firelight brought the only warmth that Shuiyueer had. Surrounded by everyone, her complexion gradually improved and her body stopped shaking.
The ice crystals that Shen Hanyu gave her could block out most of the cold, but it was far from being able to completely isolate her. Among Shen Hanyu's group, her martial soul and soul power level were the weakest, so this situation was inevitable.
The climate in the Far North is unpredictable. A blizzard can come without even the slightest warning. The visibility is less than two meters. The whistling wind sounds like the roar of a wild beast, which is particularly terrifying in such an environment.
Shui Ningbing stretched out a hand, and a solid ice wall slowly formed above everyone's head, blocking the whistling wind and falling ice and snow. Then, she smiled and said to the three girls who were eating dry food:
"The Far North is fun, isn't it? How do you feel, my three young ladies~"
Shen Hanyu took out a blanket made of the fur of the Fire Lion King and handed it to the three people. He then picked up a blanket at random and leaned directly against the cold rock.
Shen Liuyu took the blanket and covered the three of them with it. Warm fire energy immediately emerged. The soft and comfortable touch made the three people, who were tired after a day of work, moan comfortably at the same time.
It was not until then that the three of them noticed the problem with the water ice.
"Well... although this is not my first time in the Far North, the climate here is indeed scary enough. Fortunately, I did not encounter any soul beasts..."
Shen Liuyu said with some emotion.
This was also their first time to go deep into the Far North to experience everything here, which made them feel a little unreal.
"Indeed, with this blizzard alone, most Soul Sect members may not be able to withstand it and die..."
Shui Bing'er also said in a deep voice.
Shui Yue'er hid her entire body in the blanket, not wanting to come out to feel the cold outside.
"Hehe... this is just the beginning. The things we encountered today are just a simple appetizer for the Far North. Even this appetizer is not even over yet..."
Shen Hanyu casually glanced at the vast snow and wind outside and said with some sarcasm.
Shui Ningbing also slowly shifted her gaze, which fell on a blurry black shadow not far away.
"A leopard-like soul beast, with a snow-white body and wavy fur, over seven meters long, and about 27,000 years old."
Shui Ningbing said in a low voice.
"It's a snow ghost leopard, and it seems there's more than one soul beast around..."
Shen Hanyu waved his hands nonchalantly and said,
"Don't worry about them. They are probably affected by the snowstorm and want to find a place to hide. There are many soul beasts around here. Killing it may attract more soul beasts."
As he spoke, Shen Hanyu released a slight breath of air.
With a low whimper heard in the wind and snow, the snow leopard disappeared completely in a short while.
Shui Ningbing also nodded. In the current situation, it would be difficult to deal with if more soul beasts were attracted. It would be better to have less trouble than more. Anyway, even if the snow ghost leopard was killed, no one could absorb its soul ring.
Shen Hanyu closed his eyes and his mental power slowly spread around, searching for one soul beast after another.
"The 30,000-year-old snow raccoon, the nearly 50,000-year-old ice crystal ants, or a group of old acquaintances, the ice elephants..."
Shen Hanyu couldn't help but sigh at how lively this area was. It seemed that the location of the camp they chose was indeed good. There were so many soul beasts living around. I just wondered if the three girls would still be able to sleep after knowing this...
Of course, Shen Hanyu doesn't have that kind of bad taste.
The girls were also exhausted today. Maintaining body temperature in a place like this and traveling long distances consumed a lot of physical strength and mental energy. If they don't get enough rest time, their bodies will collapse sooner or later.
…
A peaceful night.
Last night's snowstorm lasted almost until dawn, and the snow outside was almost above the human knees, making it increasingly difficult to walk.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fortunately, there were no soul beasts to disturb their sweet dreams in the middle of the night. Only the 30,000-year-old snow raccoon sneaked in at night. After being discovered by Shen Hanyu, it was frightened by its breath and dared not move. Shen Hanyu directly used its soft and warm body as a cushion. In the end, Shen Hanyu kneaded it like a cat for a long time before letting it go.
Shen Hanyu currently has no plans to keep a pet, otherwise a soul beast like the snow raccoon, which has a relatively gentle and lazy temperament, would be an excellent choice.
Early morning.
Shen Hanyu and her companions set out on their journey again. After a night's rest, the girls looked much better and their energy was restored.
Shui Ningbing walked behind and said:
"The front is the middle part of the mixed circle that truly enters the Far North. The soul beasts in this area are no longer as simple as before. More than a decade ago, a Soul Saint-level teacher in the academy was said to have died in this area. The two Soul Emperor teachers who returned also suffered from lifelong illnesses because of this. In a few years, all of them..."
Speaking of this, Shui Ningbing's tone was a little low. To be honest, those teachers who had passed away were all those who had taught her personally. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little sad.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also felt that Shui Ningbing was in a low mood, so they stepped forward and held one of Shui Ningbing's hands, which was a kind of silent comfort.
Shui Ningbing looked at her two beloved nieces and pulled them both into her arms. For a moment, the scene was inexplicably warm.
Shen Liuyu leaned over to Shen Hanyu, hugged one of Shen Hanyu's arms, and said with some envy:
"Brother, I miss my parents a little bit..."
Shen Hanyu rubbed Shen Liuyu's head and said with a smile:
"Why don't you go back and visit them when you have time? Maybe in a few years, they'll have given us a brother or sister..."
A hint of anticipation appeared in Shen Liuyu's eyes, and his thoughts slowly drifted away...
