Chapter 545 (1/2)
Xuelian'er led the way, and Xiao Jin and I followed. Everyone didn't speak and looked worried.
We walked very fast along the way. It took us half a day to cross that mountain range. It took us only more than three hours to do it.
This has something to do with xuelian'er's mind. She is buried in the road. The speed along the way is almost extreme. Xiaojin and I can only follow her as fast as possible.
Over the mountains, I saw a large snowfield in front of us. This snow field is very similar to the previous one, boundless. There are only some mountains far in front of us, which are vaguely seen by us.
”General,” said xuelianer, who didn't speak all the way, ”our station is only an hour away from here, but there are many potential dangers in this hour's journey. Please follow me and don't change the route casually.”
Knowing that this is perhaps the most dangerous area in the extremely cold land, I nodded and said, ”I know. Please lead the way.”
Xuelianer walked carefully in front, turning every few steps, or simply stepping back in the direction behind us.
It took us half an hour to walk less than three kilometers.
Xiao Jin and I followed xuelian'er closely. Up to now, we still lingered on the edge of the snow field. It seems that we haven't made much progress.
Compared with the position where we stopped to listen to xuelianer just now, we are at most two or three kilometers away.
At our speed, it's a little slow to get out of such a little distance in half an hour.
I know that xuelianer has a specific walking route, so she will move forward in twists and turns. It takes many times as long as normal.
”Take a break,” xuelianer suddenly stopped: ”general, I must first tell the general that the next journey and the last road are underground. Don't be surprised. I'll take you directly to our station.”
Is the road underground? My heart was strange, but on the surface, I said calmly, ”I know. Please lead the way.”
Xuelianer nodded slightly: ”this is a huge underground cave, which was developed by our ancestors as our underground passage. From the underground passage to our station, the distance can be shortened to one third of the ground distance, which can save a lot of time. However, because the cave is very large, it is easy to be found by others or star beasts. In order to protect the entrance, our ancestors arranged some arrays here. Only our people know how to get through here. If outsiders break in, they may die if they take the wrong step. ”
I suddenly understood why xuelianer had to take us forward in twists and turns just now. It turned out that she wanted to avoid the mechanism in the array, so she had to do so.
I threw my fist and said, ”thank you, princess. If we hadn't met the princess, we might not have found the residence of the snow people. We would have to run by air.”
Xuelianer reluctantly smiled: ”general, you're welcome. We'll be partners in the future. These arrays here will also be closed before we leave, so as not to be accidentally injured.”
I nodded. Just as I was about to speak, Xiao Jin suddenly said, ”master, let's go. If it goes on like this, I won't last long.”
