Chapter 258 - Snow Terrain & Snow Lotus (2/2)
It is still snowing. Gao Ge wraps the clothes tightly to keep himself warm and still worries how long Meng Jing and the others can hold out in such an environment. Apart from that, he is also concerned with Chen Wangshi. Without the Rakshasa, she is only an ordinary girl. If she is separated with the members of the Dragon Court, it will be a big problem.
Therefore, compared with Meng Jing, Yue Xincheng and the others, Gao Ge is more worried about Chen Wangshi. However, as he thinks carefully, he feels that there is no need to worry about her. After all, there is a Rakshasa hiding inside her body. As long as the Rakshasa is not insane, it should know that it and Chen Wangshi coexist in one body. If Chen Wangshi dies, how can it live on? By then, will Gao Ge and the Dragon Court care about it?
The snow mountain is in front of them but Gao Ge and Xia Lu have walked for a long time.
At least one hour has passed.
As a saying goes, the mountain is always farther than you see.
If Gao Ge and Xia Lu try their best, they can walk faster.
While walking forward, the snow is getting heavier. Finally, Gao Ge and Xia Lu also have to exert the strength within their bodies to fight against the snow.
They are getting increasingly slow.
“If a cultivator at the realm of Qi-condensing comes here, I’m afraid that he cannot hold out for long.” Xia Lu who is following behind Gao Ge says.
Apart from the people of the Dragon Court and Cultivation Academy, there are many cultivators entering the snow terrain. They don’t know whether the people of the super first-class schools come here too.
Many people have entered the secret realm but by far, they only find the members of the Dragon Court, which suggests that this place is rather vast. After all, there are very few shelters in the snow terrain. Compared with the secret realm of Mount Duanlong, the view of this occasion is much broader.
Suddenly, Gao Ge stops.
Xia Lu, following behind him, also stops then.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Lu stares at the blizzard and asks. The air she inhales feels like ice.
“Look over there.” Gao Ge reaches out his hand to point at a direction.
That’s an intersection corner formed by two cliffs. Xia Lu glances at it and doesn’t find anything special. She can’t help asking, “What’s wrong? Are we going to take it as shelter from the snowstorm?” She believes it is also a good way out. They can continue marching towards the snow mountain when the snow is getting smaller.
“I am afraid that the snowstorm won’t stop. If you don’t believe it, we can go back and you will find it is getting much smaller.” Gao Ge says.
Xia Lu understands what Gao Ge means.
The snowstorm will get heavier at the closer distance from the snow mountain.
However, since so, why does Gao Ge stop?
Gao Ge doesn’t answer her question immediately. Instead, he walks towards the two cliffs.
Xia Lu catches up with him.
When she gets closer, Xia Lu realizes what Gao Ge was actually pointing at. She can’t help asking in surprise, “The snow lotus?”
“Yes, the snow lotus.” Gao Ge laughs and squats down to sweep off the snow above it. It is different from the snow lotus of Mount Heaven. The one he is holding is ridiculously white, which is almost merged with the snow. If it were not for the fact that he is close enough to feel the Qi of the lotus, he would not have looked at this direction and found it.
“There are more of them!” Xia Lu takes two steps backwards and exclaims.
They won’t care about the ordinary snow lotus, but since they used to go into the secret realm before, Xia Lu has every reason to believe that the plants that grow here must be good stuff.
When she went into the secret realm with Gao Ge for the first time, some random fruits they ate could help them elevate the capability.
“This is a group of snow lotuses. There can’t be only one snow lotus.” While saying that, Gao Ge immediately eats the snow lotus and starts to eat the plant like a barbarian.
“You eat it too!” Gao Ge raises his chin at Xia Lu.
Xia Lu rolls her eyes at him and feels despised at his reminder.
Looking at Gao Ge enjoying the taste of the snow lotus, she takes a deep breath, tears off a petal of the lotus and eats it.
“Emm?” The next second Xia Lu’s facial expression is changed.
The snow lotus doesn’t taste as bitter as she imagines. Instead, it tastes rather sweet. Cool as it is, it turns into a warm stream when it goes into the belly. Meanwhile, the strength is quickly supplemented.
“With the snow lotuses, we can hold out here for a longer time.” Gao Ge says smilingly.
“Yes!” Without any more hesitation, Xia Lu eats up the whole snow lotus.
While Xia Lu is eating the lotuses, Gao Ge is not idling away. Instead, he starts to count up the number of the snow lotuses within the small area. There are more than ten of them more or less.
The aura within one snow lotus is incomparable with a few or tens of spiritual jades.
