Chapter 102 - "Substitute"(1)
Chapter 102: “Substitute”(1)
Holy snow mountain peak.
The illusionary Silver Snow Wolf was lying lazily on the ice bed, its silver-gray eyes were staring at the air in front of it.
It was as if there was an invisible curtain not far from it, and on it was a wonderful program being played.
In fact, the real situation was not too different.
It was looking at the ‘contestants’ who were climbing the mountain.
As Cang Xue’s “substitute” to “manage” the inheritance, the Silver Wolf had almost all-knowing power on the Holy Snow Mountain.
“The quality of this batch isn’t up to standard. Why are there only four people left in the first round?”
Halfway through, the Silver Wolf could not help but complain.
It made a clear and melodious sound, and it was a female voice.
“At least let me look at it for a while longer.”
The Silver Wolf sighed. It had lived on the top of the Holy Snow Mountain for countless years, and its daily activity was to sleep. Because it was a spiritual body, it did not even need to eat. Its only pastime was to watch the “contestants” climb the mountain.
Because it was bored, it would watch every episode of mountain climbing.
“Eh? This moonlight elf…Is hiding its true strength?”
The Silver Wolf suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting. It switched its view to Jiang He’s side. The moonlight elves had finally defeated the frost cell Lord after going through “great hardships.”
The reason why the Silver Wolf judged that the moonlight elves were hiding their strength was because the Silver Wolf had observed that every time the moonlight elves dodged, it was just before the frost prison Lord’s Frost Sword was about to hit.
Precise control.
He was not afraid of a top student getting full marks, but he was afraid that a top student would control his marks.
In its eyes, the moonlight elves ‘behavior was a clear control of their points.
The Silver Wolf had a deep impression of Jiang He.
It was the one who had given him the assessment quota!
“Is he trying to reduce the difficulty of the challenge by hiding his strength? Then I’ll increase the difficulty a little!”
The Silver Wolf seemed to have thought of something. It revealed a strange smile, and then spat out an icy mist, which drifted down the mountain …
——————————————
“Ziyue, did you hear that?”
“Meow~”
The moonlight elf nodded, which proved that Jiang He wasn’t the only one who had heard the cry for help.
Enter or not?
This was a problem.
Jiang He felt that the thing that was crying for help was not a person at all. He had not seen a single living thing along the way, not to mention a living person.
And coincidentally, when he passed by this cave, he heard a cry for help?
As for the voice of the other candidates, it was even more impossible.
This time, there was only one girl from the snow Wolf Clan participating in the assessment. Her voice was rough, not as pitiful as what he had heard. It was even a little … Flirting?
“Meow?”
The moonlight elves wondered if it was the third Guardian who was proficient in illusions.
“It’s possible, but we’ve just defeated the second Guardian, so we shouldn’t encounter the third so soon. Maybe it’s another test.”
Since the entire Holy Snow Mountain was a land of inheritance, everything he had encountered could very well be part of the test.
After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Jiang He decided to leave immediately.
It wasn’t because he was afraid, but because it wasn’t necessary.
The ultimate goal of obtaining the inheritance was to reach the top of the mountain. On the way, whether it was defeating The Guardian or avoiding the blizzard and avalanche, it was all an effort to achieve this goal.
It could be said that mountain climbing was the “main mission,” and the other “side missions” were not worth doing!
Ding Lei had told him that someone in the snow Wolf Clan had taught his Snow Wolf a bunch of skills to increase its speed. Then, taking advantage of the snow Wolf’s fast running speed, he directly ignored the Guardian’s obstruction and climbed all the way up, trying to reach the top.
The Guardian couldn’t do anything to him, so he could only chase after him.
Unfortunately, it was said that in the third stage, it encountered a snow giant that could release an avalanche, which directly blocked its path. Then, the other two guardians rushed over …
If it wasn’t for the frosty snow Wolf King, the leader of the snow Wolf Clan, lending him a hand, he would have been dead.
Jiang He was afraid that something would run out of the cave, so she decided to stay as far away from it as possible.
But not long after he advanced, he heard a loud rumble.
Under the night sky, Jiang He saw the snow that had accumulated for thousands of years on the mountains in the distance falling with the whistling cold wind under the silver moonlight emitted by the moonlight elves.
“Fuck! An avalanche!”
The moment Jiang He realized what was going on, he turned around and ran.
Although the purple Moon was powerful, it was still far from enough to deal with a natural disaster of this level.
“Next time, I must contract a flying-type familiar! The kind that you can ride!”
Such a thought emerged in Jiang He’s mind as he ran.
At the same time, he also realized that the sacred Snow Mountain might really have its own consciousness.
They were forcing him into the cave!
Jiang he ran all the way into the cave, panting heavily. He watched the snow tide roll down from thousands of miles away.
There was no telling how much snow had accumulated on the sacred Snow Mountain, so the avalanche would not stop for a while.
Jiang He sighed.
“Save me …”
At this moment, he heard the cry for help again.
After entering the cave, the faint cries for help became much clearer, as if the signal had suddenly become better.
Jiang He was unmoved. He sat quietly at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the avalanche to end before breaking out of the snow.
Curiosity, it didn’t exist!
“Yi!”
At this moment, the flame sprite beside him let out an anxious cry. The flame energy in its body was about to be exhausted.
“You’ve worked hard. ”
Jiang He took out two Firestones from her backpack and handed them to the flame sprite.
“One Yuan is today’s salary, and the other Yuan is your reward.”
“Yi!”
The flame sprite hugged the two Firestones and flew around Jiang He happily, the flames on its body suddenly burning vigorously.
It was very happy!
The feeling of being rewarded through one’s own hard work was pretty good.
“You guys should rest too! I’ll keep watch tonight. ”
Jiang He said to his familiar.
There might be danger in the cave, so he didn’t dare to let his guard down.
So, he was prepared to not sleep tonight.
With his current mental strength, it wouldn’t affect him much even if he didn’t sleep for an entire day.
When the avalanche outside is over, we’ll leave immediately.
“Meow~”
The moonlight elf curled up in Jiang He’s arms, and her blue eyes slowly closed as if she was taking a nap.
The scene in front of it reminded it of its first encounter with Jiang He.
It would be great if there was another grilled fish.
The grilled fish would go well with the snow …
Perhaps it was because Jiang He didn’t respond or because he was tired of shouting, the cry for help slowly disappeared.
——————————————
A few dozen meters away from Jiang He, a silver-haired woman was pressed under a huge Ice Rock. Her fair face was full of depression.
“Damn it, doesn’t this human have any compassion? You haven’t even come to take a look after so long. ”
The silver-haired woman said angrily. She then gently patted the ice Rock on top of it, and the ice Rock instantly shattered into pieces.
Because it was completely shattered, not a single sound was made.
“Phew~acting is so tiring.”
The silver-haired woman sighed,”
“Since you’re not willing to come over, I’ll have to come to you.”
After saying that, she slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave …
