"Everyone, grab the rope."
Since the light has been extinguished.
If we want to keep the team together...we need to use the most primitive thods.
Fortunately, those primitive thods often work well too.
The black rope transmitted one grip after another. The seemingly short blond-haired man erupted with imnse strength from his body at this mont. He stepped into a snow pit, and several forces swayed by the heavy snow transmitted along the rope to his waist, but they couldn’t shake this "slender" man’s steps in the slightest.
Zhong Yuan, pulling the team mbers, started climbing the snow mountain. After the fla went out... no one knew what lay ahead.
No one knew if the previous assumptions were correct.
The wind and snow were too strong at this mont; no one even knew where they were.
Darkness, endless darkness!
Fear from the unknown was crushed step by step!
The figure at the forefront, pressing against the wind and snow, beca a faint outline in the darkness. The team mbers quickly recovered, clutching the long rope tightly, gathering strength, and climbing together.
This team, of course, did not rely solely on Zhong Yuan for calculations.
Previous repeated "cycles," stride lengths, ti, direction...each person had silently calculated these data. Not long after, a team mber exclaid in the black snow.
"We succeeded... we really left that cursed place!"
The darkness subrged the mountain top.
At this mont, all they could actually do was climb, just like in the previous Mirror World... but after walking for so long, they no longer saw the previous "piles of stones."
"I sensed Mr. Xiao Gu’s ’Blazing Fire Connection’... he’s not far away?!"
Yuan Yuan also exclaid excitedly.
The connection, which had been severed for a long ti, seed to have a tendency to re-link, with a faint signal guiding from a great distance!
He raised his head.
If his guess was correct, Gu Shen... was right ahead!
Right on the mountaintop!
The few team mbers couldn’t suppress their excitent, except for one person.
The blond-haired man at the forefront of the team, pulling seven team mbers with a rope, had a solemn expression, even more so than when they were in the "Mirror World"...
His spiritual power was the sharpest.
Therefore, he saw the most!
"No..."
Zhong Yuan spoke in a low voice, "It’s not just Gu Shen."
Yuan Yuan was the first to react: "There’s soone else on the mountaintop... ng Xiao?!"
His heart skipped a beat.
All along, Duke Zhen Yue’s team had been following behind them, until before the climb, he hadn’t taken this matter to heart... because if their group didn’t scatter, even if ng Xiao caught up, there was nothing to fear!
Just go for it! That’s the word!
The captain had long been displeased with ng Xiao, and so was he!
"No... that’s not right..."
Yuan Yuan suddenly realized the inconsistency: if the taboo of this Black Snow Mountain was light, then Mr. Xiao Gu’s "fla" should also attract the arrival of the [Gate].
Besides!
How could those guys from Light City move forward in the dark?
"I know what you want to say."
Zhong Yuan paused for a second, then calmly said, "This seems irrational...if we both used ’fire,’ why were we drawn into the mirror and they weren’t?"
Yuan Yuan nodded seriously.
"The only explanation I can think of...is just one." The blond-haired man sighed faintly, "Their ’fire’ is much stronger than the Phoenix Fire. Darkness wants to devour light, but it also bullies the weak and fears the strong. If it has to choose soone, Mirror Dream could only choose us."
Yuan Yuan was left speechless.
Using this answer to explain Zhen Yue made sense. After all, ng Xiao was from Light City, and he bore the "Blessing of the Divine Throne." The Divine Power was too strong indeed.
If ng Xiao used it all out, he might illuminate the entire Black Snow Mountain top!
But... what about Gu Shen?
Was his "S-level ability" really that powerful?
Why, after getting along for so long... did Yuan Yuan always feel Gu Shen’s blazing fire seed weak?
Alright... it must be his delusion.
Deputy Captain Yuan shook his head helplessly.
The group climbed to the top... only to see a bleak scene in the pitch black, even before reaching the top, they slled a bloody scent.
"Was there a battle here?"
A team mber crouched down, looking at a shattered face, feeling vaguely familiar.
After staring at it for a mont.
He recognized the owner of the face...
It was himself!
The blood on the snow was still warm, not coagulated, and this head seed to have been severed by so incredibly sharp iron weapon, making the scene too frightening.
Anyone who suddenly saw their own head would be shocked.
"Captain!!!"
The team mber only felt chills running through his scalp, losing control of his emotions, and let out a low howl.
Zhong Yuan, experienced as he was.
Upon detecting excess breath, he unleashed a field, controlling all surrounding movents...this team mber’s voice was entirely intercepted within the field.
Yuan Yuan frowned: "What’s wrong? Scared like this!"
The team mber replied hoarsely: "It’s a corpse..."
Yuan Yuan said: "There are corpses everywhere here."
In the darkness.
Zhong Yuan opened his mouth for the frightened team mber, calmly saying: "It’s our corpses."
"...!?"
Because the light source was extinguished, everyone could hardly see the peak of the snow mountain.
Logically, when the light source goes out, normal people can quickly adapt to the dark... but this Black Snow Mountain is different, with heavy snow, thick fog, and strong winds constantly blowing. These phenona make it seem like there is an incessant flow of ink sweeping in from outside the field of vision.
