Chapter 292: Encounter In The Snow Mountain (4)
“I’m not sure, but that snake might know. It’s more familiar with the terrain here than me,” the big white bear said embarrassedly.
“Xue’er, what should we do now?” Freak asked.
“Wait here!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. She was still very confident in her grandfather’s strength.
“Lass, isn’t this place very close to the snake’s territory? Why don’t we split up? You go look for the snake, and I’ll wait here for Old Leng,” Old Zao suggested.
“Old Zao, finally, a good idea from you. But only your Big White knows where the snake lives, so you should go find that snake with Little Girl. I’ll wait here,” Old Man said.
“Big Brother, what do you think?” Leng Ruoxue asked for Leng Ruohan’s opinion.
“Xue’er, I’ll also stay and wait for Grandpa. Go find that snake!” Leng Ruohan said after thinking. As long as Thunder Night was still alive, it meant that their grandfather’s life was not in danger, so all they could do now was wait.
“Big Brother, be careful!” Leng Ruoxue was still a little worried, but she also knew that this was the best choice. Moreover, she hoped that the snake would know the situation below.
“Be careful,” Leng Ruohan reminded worriedly.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded.
Leng Ruoxue and the others went to find the local snake, leaving Old Man and Leng Ruohan…
“Butterfly, what do you know about this snow mountain?” Leng Ruoxue asked Butterfly on the way. Didn’t this little thing say that mountain ranges were pretty good? But even though this place looked like a mountain range from the outside, it was a genuine snow mountain inside. Moreover, apart from the thick snow inside, she had only seen a bear so far.
“Girl, I’m so sorry! I’ve never heard of this snow mountain,” Butterfly said guiltily. Boohoo… It’s so embarrassing that a dignified envoy of the mystic realm like me doesn’t know.
“Oh, it’s okay. I’ll find out the secret of this snow mountain myself,” Leng Ruoxue comforted.
“Do you see the palace in front? That’s where the snake lives,” Big White suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked toward the palace in unison. The opulence of the palace left them flabbergasted…
Uh! Didn’t snakes like dark and damp places? Why was this snake’s residence more luxurious than an imperial palace? Was this really the snake’s residence? Everyone was puzzled. Did they come to the wrong place?
“Big White! Look at the place it lives. It’s an entire palace for a divine beast. But why are you staying in a cave?” Old Zao really couldn’t understand how the difference in the lives of beasts could be so tremendous.
“Master, that snake is good at enjoying itself. Moreover, it’s stronger than me, so almost all the beasts on the snow mountain are its subordinates. On the other hand, I spend most of my time sleeping.” Big White scratched his head in embarrassment. Bears didn’t really care about quality of life. They just needed to eat and sleep.
“Big White, what kind of snake is it?” Leng Ruoxue was curious about the snake who loved to enjoy life.
“It seems like a snow python,” Big White said after some thought.
“What do you mean by seems? Are you not sure?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
“Well, that snake is different from ordinary snow pythons. It might have mutated,” Big White explained.
“A mutated snake?” Leng Ruoxue pondered and decided to identify it herself.
While chatting, everyone arrived in front of the dazzling palace.
“Endless Abyss?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the large and majestic palace with these large golden words written on it, and the puzzlement in her heart deepened. That snake actually called its home the Endless Abyss? This was too strange!
“Xue’er, let’s go in!” Freak looked at the open doors of the palace.
“Okay, let’s go in. Be careful, everyone.” Leng Ruoxue nodded and led the way in…
…
At this time, in a dark and gloomy cell, a black dragon was guarding his master anxiously. His master was the missing Leng Qingtian, and he was unconscious…
“Master, you’re awake?” Ink Thunder hurriedly asked anxiously when he sensed his master seemed to be showing signs of waking up.
“Ink Thunder, where is this?” Leng Qingtian opened his eyes slowly, his face full of question marks.
“Master, I don’t know either. After the spot you were standing on collapsed, we were brought here by a strong ray of light before I could save you,” Ink Thunder explained guiltily, his face full of self-reproach.
“Hehe, Ink Thunder, this isn’t your fault. It was all an accident.” Leng Qingtian smiled and comforted him while looking around.
The area here was rather spacious, and if he was not mistaken, it should be a cell. But this cell was far more bloody than the ones he had seen before. Moreover, other than Ink Thunder and him, there were only the eerie white bones piled in the corner of the large cell. The entire cell was surrounded by impenetrable walls like iron arms, and the only light came from a skylight on the top of the cell.
“Master, what should we do now?” Ink Thunder asked, a little lost.
“Of course, we have to think of a way to get out of here. Otherwise, Xue’er and the others will be worried,” Leng Qingtian said anxiously.
“But there seems to be no other exit apart from that skylight.” Ink Thunder looked up.
“Ink Thunder, take me up there to see if I can break that window,” Leng Qingtian said.
“Okay, Master, quickly get on me,” Ink Thunder said. Boohoo… Master has woken up. I feel more confident.
After Leng Qingtian sat on Ink Thunder’s back, he spread his huge wings and flew toward the skylight.
“This window is so big!” After flying closer, Leng Qingtian realized that the window looked like a little white dot from below but was actually about the same size as Ink Thunder…
