Chapter 511 - Is It Her? (1/2)

“How about me playing longer with these little fellows…”

The woman said with a bright smile. The branch under her was quite soft, and the buds on it were getting ready to burst. Obviously, it was easily broken. However, when she sat on it, the branch only swayed up and down slightly, neither breaking nor bending.

“Well… Third Grandmaster, the First Grandmaster is still in a hurry to meet them. Would you stop playing with them? If you continue to play your game, they will be ruined…”

Just after the woman in white finished her words, a timid voice of a young man sounded behind her. As the woman turned back, her hair behind her shoulder blowing in the breeze happened to cover her face.

The woman smiled. Her eyebrows were like the outlines of the distant mountains, and her limpid eyes looked like the flowing autumn water. While smiling, she said, “Well, or… How about making a bet with me first?”

“Atishoo!” Xiao Chen, who was going up the mountain with the others, suddenly sneezed for no reason. A girl next to him blinked at him and asked in a soft voice, “Brother Xiao Chen, did you catch a cold last night?”

“Cold? Catch a cold?” Xiao Chen was stunned. Since he was a cultivator, how could he fall ill so easily like an ordinary person? But could it be that someone was talking about him?

“The weather in late autumn is cold. Brother Xiao, remember to put on more clothes.” Not far away, Yumu Shisan said with a smile. Then he looked at Chu Qi and said, “Miss Chu Qi, aren’t you cold with so few clothes on?”

However, from beginning to the end, Chu Qi had never talked to anyone and only cared about going her own path. Xiao Chen thought to himself, “Is this guy named Yumu Shisan also a natural socializer? He said that it became cool. It seemed that the weather is truly getting much colder.” When a gust of wind blew over, seemingly with ice chips, many people shivered.

“What happened? Why does it become so cold?”

As everyone discussed the change of the weather, another gust of cold wind came. This time, it really came with ice chips. All of a sudden, the weather around dropped a lot. Many girls in thin clothes trembled with cold, holding their arms. This place with a lot of restrictions was nothing like the outside, so it was useless even if they had the Core Forming Realm cultivation.

After walking for a long time, it was getting colder and colder as if they had entered the frozen world in the far north. Arms folded, many young girls kept shivering, and their little faces also turned ghastly pale because of the cold. A boy said, “Are you cold, Junior Sister? Give me your hand and go with me.”

Slightly annoyed, the girl looked at him and pouted, saying, “I don’t want you to hold my hand.” After that, she moved closer to Xiao Chen and giggled.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, remained silent. After a while, he said, “Wait. Stop.”

As soon as he said that, the dozens of young boys and girls behind him immediately stopped and looked up at him. At this point, many places before them were covered with ice and snow. The cold wind was whistling, and flakes of ice kept spinning. It seemed that late autumn suddenly turned into cold midwinter.

The others also realized that something was wrong. The White Fog City was located in the southwest of the Death (Wastelands provinces), so it should not be so cold here in autumn. Even if the Mist Mountain was on higher ground, it should not have been covered with ice and snow.

With a stern look, Xiao Chen said, “We have walked in an illusory land.”

“An illusory land?” At this moment, everyone stopped and turned to look at him. But unlike the dozens of young boys and girls behind Xiao Chen, the majority of these people seemed to disagree with him.

Xiao Chen said that they were already in an illusory land, a trap set up by someone. However, everything around them looked so real that no one had noticed they had stepped into an illusory land.

“Let’s go back and start over. Otherwise, when we go deeper into this trap, I’m afraid we’ll meet some very powerful Illusory Beasts,” Xiao Chen said honestly. He looked serious enough to show that he was not kidding. In fact, Xiao Chen could feel that something dangerous was approaching.

“Go back? Are you crazy? We finally managed to come up. If we go back now, we can never arrive at Mountainside Square before sunset.” Someone in the crowd immediately expressed his discontent.

Now, opinion was divided on this matter. Some of them agreed to go back and start over. According to their previous experience, once they were trapped in an illusory land, they should quit immediately and walk the way again. Then, everything would be fine. Otherwise, they would meet the ferocious Illusory Beasts.

“If you want to go back, then you can go. I will never go back,” a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator said coldly.

“It’s too late,” Xiao Chen said attentively. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on an ice mountain in front of him.

“What?” The Nascent Soul Realm cultivator frowned and asked.

“I said it was too late. Let’s prepare for the battle.” With that, Xiao Chen immediately unsheathed the Unsullied Immortal Sword. In next to no time, a deep roar rose. Both heaven and earth shook. The ice and snow were all over the sky, sweeping over the crowd.

“Watch out!” Everyone immediately worked together to hold up the Barrier so as to resist the significant amount of ice and snow that came at them. When the ice and snow dispersed, they saw a huge monster suddenly appear in front of them.

They were startled. All of a sudden, the monster gave them the creeps. The thing was as big as a small hill. With ice thorns all over its body, it looked extremely horrifying. Let’s call it the Snow Beast for now.

“Howl…!” The Snow Beast let out a deep roar and pressed its arms down on the crowd. Immediately, the snow and ice shot in all directions. There was nothing but darkness between heaven and earth. Greatly shocked, all of them exerted their strength to the limit and avoided this fatal blow.
