Chapter 976: Snowfall
Chapter 976: Snowfall
Yu Linglong turned her head and looked at Ling Feng: "You go ahead, I’ll wait for you down here!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded, pointed his toes to the ground, and had already rushed toward the cliff to the right!
The steep stone wall was very smooth, but this was not a problem for Ling Feng. With his current strength and speed, he only needed to use the wall to push himself up to higher ground.
Moreover, with the assistance of the God Slayer Saber, in a blink of an eye, he was atop the mountain peak.
But when Ling Feng stood on the summit and looked around, his heart suddenly sank!
Endless mountains, with no end in sight!
Looking into the distance, the canyon below turned several bends before blending into the mountain range, with no clear direction visible!
"This damn thing, does it mean we have to walk in the mountains for several days?"
Ling Feng muttered, took out his mobile phone to snap a few photos of the mountains, and then leaped down, returning to Yu Linglong’s side.
"Now we’re in trouble!"
Saying this, Ling Feng showed her the photos.
Yu Linglong looked down at the photos, then lifted her gaze toward the vast mountains ahead, and after a moment of thought said, "There must be an end to it, it’s just a matter of time. Let’s go!"
Seeing her even more patient than himself, Ling Feng naturally had nothing to complain about, so he quickly followed her and moved forward.
The gorge was rugged, yet the scenery remained unchanged, with steep stone walls on both sides and not a single blade of grass in sight.
And just now, from his vantage point on the mountain top, Ling Feng had noticed that there seemed to be no green vegetation at all within this range of mountains.
As for insects, wild beasts, and the like, they were completely absent, making these mountains feel dead and desolate, for reasons unknown.
After walking for a long time, Yu Linglong suddenly halted: "Do you hear something?"
Ling Feng stopped to listen and suddenly his face changed: "Is that the wind?"
"It seems so!"
Yu Linglong looked up at the sky: "The weather is changing."
Ling Feng also looked up and murmured to himself: "Could it be about to snow?"
"Snow is alright; rain would be troublesome!" Yu Linglong exclaimed.
In such a cold place, rain falling would make even those with strong physiques uncomfortable.
Ling Feng nodded, agreeing, then said, "Let’s hurry and see if we can find some place to take shelter."
Yu Linglong gave him a glance: "We’ve walked for so long and haven’t even seen a cave, where could we take shelter?"
"There was none before, but perhaps there will be if we go further?"
Ling Feng said, extending his hand: "Let’s go!"
Yu Linglong hesitated for a moment, but still reached out her small hand.
Grasping her hand, Ling Feng’s first feeling was that it was scorching hot!
Other girls’ hands are usually soft and cool, but hers was different, giving off a sensation of a fiery body temperature!
Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment before he remembered his unique Pure Yang Physique and without saying anything more, hurriedly pulled Yu Linglong forward!
The two of them, one after the other, accelerated to their utmost speed, swiftly shuttling through the gorge.
After what seemed like an eternity, Ling Feng looked up and saw a dark cave entrance on the mountain wall ahead, immediately smiling: "See that? Now we’ve got a place to take shelter!"
Yu Linglong had also seen the cave entrance, looked up at the sky: "If that doesn’t work out for us, we won’t have anywhere else to hide!"
"It must work, let’s go!"
Ling Feng said a word, pulled her to the wall of the mountain and leaped!
The two of them jumped up more than ten meters in one go, then stepped onto the protruding rock at the cave entrance.
The entrance wasn’t tall, only about one and a half meters high, so they had to bend down to enter.
The howling wind was growing louder and louder; in the distance, a vast expanse of white - indistinguishable as rain or snow - was sweeping towards them.
Entering the cave, Ling Feng glanced around and discovered that it resembled a passage, dark inside. His Divine Sense swept through to find that it was actually several hundred meters long!
However, the inside was empty and vacant, so Ling Feng wasn’t worried. He released his grip and looked at the ground, taking out two pieces of moisture-proof cloth from his bracelet and laying them down.
Yu Linglong just watched and sighed, "It would be nice if we could start a fire."
"Don’t worry, we have it!"
Ling Feng chuckled and suddenly took out a pile of firewood.
"..."
Yu Linglong looked stunned and asked in confusion, "What are you preparing this for?"
"When I first met Ling Yao, we were in a space where there was a heavy downpour, soaking the whole world. It was hard to find anything to start a fire with, so I gathered a pile of firewood for times of need!"
Ling Feng said as he arranged the wood in the shape of a campfire.
Yu Linglong was speechless, gave a smile, and said, "You really are careful!"
"No way around it, there’s an ancient saying in our Huaxia, ’To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools,’ and that’s the principle it talks about!"
As he spoke, Ling Feng took out a Fire property Five Elements Fruit and threw it onto the firewood.
With a bang, a fierce flame rose, igniting the wood.
The cave was immediately lit by the firelight, and a wave of warmth washed over them instantly.
At this moment, a gust of wind howled past the entrance, and a cluster of snowflakes also burst into the cave.
Yu Linglong sat on the ground, watching the snowflakes dance wildly outside, suddenly lost in thought.
Ling Feng did not disturb her and quietly sat down.
The roar of the wind was loud, sweeping up the snowflakes, and in just a moment, the world outside the cave entrance became a vast expanse of whiteness.
After a long while, Ling Feng suddenly said, "If this place were in our world, I guess its dimension must be extremely low, quite possibly close to the Arctic Circle!"
"Based on the patterns we’ve seen so far, this should still be part of your world, and judging by the desolation, there definitely aren’t any human settlements nearby," Yu Linglong said.
"The last one, yet it’s become complicated," Ling Feng sighed.
Yu Linglong turned to look at him, "What? Don’t you feel even a bit of anticipation?"
"Maybe it’s because I’ve found too many treasures already; I don’t really feel anything anymore!" Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders.
Then he looked at Yu Linglong, "But you seem quite interested, don’t you?"
Yu Linglong shook her head, "I don’t know, there’s just this inexplicable feeling inside me, like something is attracting me!"
"How long do you think we have until we reach the end?" Ling Feng asked.
"Not sure, let’s wait until the snow stops," she replied.
Yu Linglong stared at the outside blizzard, dazed and somewhat lost in thought.
Ling Feng didn’t want to end the conversation there, so he asked, "Does it snow in your world as well?"
"In the far north of our land, it is covered in snow all year round," Yu Linglong answered.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng paused for a moment, and then asked, "Since we’re bored anyway, why don’t you tell me about your world?"
Yu Linglong glanced at him, "Just because you’re bored?"
