Chapter 236 - Snowy Endangered (1)

The road to the Northern Kingdom was covered with snow. The further they walked, the colder it became.

The climate of the Northern Kingdom was extremely extreme. Every year, there would only be two seasons, one winter and one summer!

The scorching summer sun could roast the earth to the point where not even a blade of grass grew, and the winter could freeze everything to the point where it didn't last long.

Therefore, although the Qin Dynasty was still in the cold season of spring, green sprouts were already faintly appearing on the willow branches. The closer they got to the Northern Kingdom, the more snow fell.

Mu Wanjun curled up on her horse's back. She was already wrapped in two mink cloaks. However, she could still feel waves of bone-piercing cold wind blowing into her neck.

She was wearing a furry hat and a scarf, and her eyes were the only part of her body.

She looked at the map in her hands. If she continued like this, she should be able to reach the Illusory Dragon Town by this time tomorrow.

However, the snowstorm seemed to be getting heavier, blotting out the sky and blotting out the sun. The road ahead was completely invisible, and the visibility did not exceed two meters.

One of the coachmen came over and asked, "Young Master, there should be a bridge up ahead. It's snowing heavily, so I can't see it clearly. Why don't we rest in the cave over there for the night?"

Mu Wanjun thought, it was already late, so she might as well rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, she would be able to see the road situation clearly and then think of a way.

She looked again at the hollow the groom was pointing to. There were jutting rocks on it, jutting out from left and right, inside and out, and it would be best to set up camp there.

She nodded and led the team over.

The Carriage s had enough items, and in the forest not too far away, there were firewood as well. The driver went to pick up a lot, and then he surrounded the eight Carriage s, forming a circle to block out the wind and snow.

The blazing fire in the middle finally brought a hint of warmth.

They made some food and boiled some snow for tea. The snow had yet to boil, and the sky had already darkened.

Mu Wanjun looked at this sky that was pitch black like hell, and furrowed her brows.

This was not the first time she had come to this place. When she had opened up this route five years ago, she had come here once. However, the snowstorm that time was completely different, and the feeling was also different.

Her heart would throb for no reason. She always felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from the darkness.

The Soup Dumplings in her arms were the same as well. From the start of their journey until yesterday, this Qilong was still fine.

All of the hair on his body stood erect, his eyes were round, such an appearance, was something Mu Wanjun had never seen before.

It made her nervous. She knew what was waiting for them tonight or tomorrow.

Ye Zi brought her a cup of tea that she had just boiled.

"Let's drink some hot tea first."

Mu Wanjun stood outside and looked around vigilantly.

Hearing Ye Zi's voice, she smiled and took the teacup in her hands. Just as she was about to drink the water, she realized that she couldn't pour any water at all.

Boiling water can freeze in the blink of an eye. How low is the temperature here?

Ye Zi also laughed when she saw it: "Go back and drink. I'll watch over this place for you." They were still quite a distance from the Northern Kingdom, and Ye Zi knew that Mu Wanjun had always been cautious, but at this moment, that nervous atmosphere infected her.

"No need." Mu Wanjun looked at the vast expanse of darkness outside, and under the vast sky and land, the endless darkness seemed to be devouring them with its gaping maw.

There was only a glimmer of light from the fire behind them, and that light cast their shadows on the ground and into the darkness.

"Ye Zi, you have to be extra careful tonight. I keep having the feeling that something bad is going to happen." Mu Wanjun looked at Ye Zi without blinking. In all these years, this was the first time she had felt such fear.

She couldn't help but hold Ye Zi's hand, "If anything happens, remember, you don't have to worry about me. You have to escape by yourself, understand?"

"Don't worry, I know." Ye Zi answered her, but in her heart, she was very determined. Elder sister Wan Yun, don't worry, if there is anything wrong, even if I give up my life, I will still protect you.

Mu Wanjun was still a little worried. She took out four round iron balls from the Storage Ring.

She passed the four iron balls to Ye Zi, "You know how to use this explosive, so you need to defend yourself."

"Alright!" Ye Zi took it, and stored it in her own Storage Ring.
