” Then, shall we wait here? ” I returned the Night Pearl to the pockmarks, and touched the two empty strips of skin on my body to ensure that they were still there. I patted the cold dew on my body that night.

” We still need to make some preparations. That fellow's skill is something we can't match up to. After chasing after him for so long, my stamina is exhausted, so it's up to us! ” As he spoke, the pockmark began to study the area, trying to figure out how to take advantage of the natural advantage.

” Then hurry up, maybe they'll be here soon! ”

” ”Let me think, don't worry!”

I didn't dare disturb the pockmarked man's attentive thinking, so I looked around.

Here, in a circle, three sides of the ring of trees and one side of the circle of mountains, facing a small hill, where the snow had not melted for a long time, and there was a cloud of snow in the sky, looking ethereal, and there was a crooked-shaped gravel road at the foot of the mountain, which should have been built by humans, with a frozen lake in the middle and a mother tree canyon growing under it according to the lake that the pockmarked.

” ”No, pockmarked, they seem to have arrived before us!” I suddenly saw a line of large, eye-catching words on the gravel path on the opposite hill: Follow me, sister!

” F * ck, we're even one step too late for a shortcut. Isn't that guy surpassing us? You know, if you run from the forest to the hill on the other side, you will have a long way to go. That speed is not ordinary, but little sister is also very fierce, so you've really caught up and even left a mark for us. He walked down the slope toward the white lake.

” This White Lake is already frozen. Whether it is solid or not, we will slide across it and save time! ” I asked.

” This lake is hard even if you want to dig it open. It's frozen all year round and you have to cross it from the top! ” As he spoke, pockmarked man strode like a meteor to the shore of the lake.

When we arrived at the lakeshore, I discovered that the temperature here was much lower than the forest a few meters away. The thick cotton pants were pierced through in a short while, making the rolling bones feel really cold, so cold that you couldn't even find your legs.

”We have to hurry, otherwise, we'll freeze to death!” The pockmarks rubbed against his body, constantly moving to defend against the cold.

”Don't tell me we were frozen to become living scarecrows as soon as we reached the middle of the lake. I've never come across such a cold place and I really want to die. No wonder this place is frozen for so long.

”Freezing is impossible, don't you think we can still speak freely? This is just the extreme low temperature within half a meter of the lake, and if you don't believe me, you can feel that your upper body is not that cold, so you have to keep moving and rely on your upper body to constantly transfer heat to warm your lower body, or you will be in trouble!”

” Wait, San-zi, did we fall for something? Look, the words on the snowy road across there, it's not right! ” He continued, ”If I followed the hairy man into the hill from the lake side, there would be a row of footprints of the hairy man into the snow mountain, and then he would give us those words as he chased after us. So we should assume that they would be on the hill, and if they ran from the forest to the opposite hill at night, and then down the snow road to the lake, it would be the footprints of the hairy man first, and then the footprints of the little sister would be written down. At the same time, we would not be able to follow those footprints up the mountain.

But the words were directed our way. If she followed the Mao people up the mountain, she followed them, and if she followed them down the mountain, it was written in reverse, but she didn't know which path we took to get closer. If we chased from the mountain to the lake, why did she write these words in desperation so that we could stand here and look at them? Moreover, the footprints were wrong. They were missing a person.

” ”It is a situation where someone is following us and when we are about to arrive, they arrive at the other side ahead of time and write these words as if they were 'little sister' to mislead us.”
