Chapter 1854 - 1855: Snow Mountain Summit, Blood Lotus!
That’s right, corpses everywhere!
Looking around, the bodies lying at the foot of the Snow Mountain are countless. Some seem to have just died recently, their bodies still emitting residual warmth, while others appear to have been dead for a while, their bodies already covered by thick frost and snow, stiff and pale.
Under the night sky, such a scene, if not for the crowd’s fervor, the eeriness of this place would be unimaginable.
This is essentially Hell in the Mortal World!
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan and the others frowned deeply, their expressions grim.
"It’s too brutal." Even Ye Lang, who has experienced countless battles, couldn’t help but twitch his lips: "The people who came to the Northwest for the treasure haven’t even climbed the Snow Mountain, and they’ve already started eliminating rivals!"
This has completely turned into a world of cannibalism, even more bloody than a battlefield.
On this night, in this place!
No friendship, no righteousness, only interests!
Except for their own companions, everyone else is an absolute enemy!
This made them all raise their guard, as if in an unknown abyss, not knowing if danger would strike in the next moment.
Ye Xiaoying glanced at the countless corpses around, sighed lightly: "Let’s climb."
The group of five was about to set out.
But at this moment.
Ye Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Watch out!"
The group was startled and, sensing something, turned to look. They saw a group of fierce-looking Westerners wielding Ghost Head Sabers, charging at them ferociously.
Murderous intent overflowing!!
In the blink of an eye, enough to be more than a dozen fierce people, had already arrived in front of Ye Xuan and his companions.
Ye Xuan was about to make a move.
Clang!
In the void, a crisp sound of a sharp sword unsheathing suddenly rang out, and a grim sword light swept across.
Clang!
The sound of the sword being sheathed echoed immediately.
And that group of fierce thugs trying to kill Ye Xuan and the others suddenly stopped all actions at this moment, standing in place like statues, motionless.
Two seconds later.
Crash!
Heads rolled to the ground one by one, the fervent blood spouting from the major arteries, yet in an instant, frozen by the extremely low temperature.
Then, one by one, the headless figures tumbled to the ground.
Needless to say.
Even Ye Xuan was secretly shocked by this scene.
How long has it been since Ye Xiaoying last attacked him?
A short half month!
In the blink of half a month, this woman’s swordsmanship and skills have advanced several levels!!
Such speed, is almost no less compared to Ye Xuan!
"Shadow Sis is awesome!"
"Shadow Sis is unbeatable!"
"..."
Chi Lian and the others cheered.
Ye Xiaoying, indifferent, holding her sword, stepped towards the Snow Mountain: "This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay, hurry up the mountain."
Everyone hurriedly followed.
...
The world’s first peak, lives up to its name.
Not only towering into the clouds, its size is extraordinarily vast.
Even with tens of thousands of people arriving here, gathering in the Snow Mountain, viewed from afar, it still seems a little sparse.
This actually reduced the bloody slaughter, after all, no one would be bored enough to specifically find someone to risk their lives, the reason for slaughter is only because they encountered each other and conveniently eliminated the enemy.
Everyone’s ultimate goal is the treasure at the Snow Mountain Summit!
Therefore, after Ye Xuan and others climbed the mountain, they encountered no further attacks, and the number of corpses they saw diminished gradually.
Because the figures surging up from the mountain base, the higher they go, the more dispersed they become.
"It seems these people also know that the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus is unpredictable after maturing, so after climbing the mountain, they begin to spread out and search for the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus."
Ye Xiaoying sighed softly, somewhat bewildered, looking at Ye Xuan: "The Snow Mountain is vast, blindly searching for the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, it’s almost impossible to find it. Do you have any method?"
Ye Xuan looked at Ye Xiaoying in shock: "You’re the boss, you’re asking me?"
Ye Xiaoying: "..."
Big brother, everyone knows that this is acting, every person in their hearts always considers you the boss, do you have to be so particular?
Ye Xiaoying pouted, could only say: "From now on, I’m their boss, you’re my boss, is that okay?"
"That’s more like it." Ye Xuan chuckled: "But we need to make it clear first, after finding the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, the distribution of the Blood Lotus, I’ll decide."
Ye Xiaoying rolled her eyes, as if who cares about your Sky Mountain Blood Lotus.
Of course, Ye Xiaoying wouldn’t expose herself, so she nodded and said: "Mm, just give me a share and that’s fine."
"That’s definitely no problem."
Ye Xuan agreed boldly, then took out a small glass bottle from his pocket.
The glass bottle was empty, with only a small piece of a dried leaf lying at the bottom, inconspicuous.
The group puzzled: "What’s this?"
Ye Xuan smiled and said: "A small piece of leaf I picked from the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb, without the Sandalwood Box’s protection, it has already lost its medicinal properties, no different from ordinary leaves."
The group immediately felt heartache.
Boss, that’s the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb, even though this is just less than one tenth, but its medicinal power must be incredibly terrifying, right?
Wasteful shame!!
Ye Xiaoying slightly frowned: "Why did you pick a leaf from the Six-leaf Ice Heart Grass for no reason?"
"Can’t catch wolves without sacrificing a child." Ye Xuan smiled and explained: "This small piece of leaf might seem wasted, but if not wasted, we won’t find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus."
The group: "What’s this got to do with the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus?"
"Naturally, it’s related!" Ye Xuan said: "Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb and Sky Mountain Blood Lotus are rare Miracle Medicine through the ages, each contains Spiritual Energy. If the directions of the two are opposite, resonance occurs. Once resonance happens, isn’t it equivalent to a compass for us?"
"Is there really such a saying?" The group was bewildered, still puzzled: "But this Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb has lost its medicinal properties, even if true, wouldn’t act as a compass now, right?"
"You don’t get it." Ye Xuan shook his head: "The Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb is still the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb, even without medicinal properties, but it’s still Divine Medicine, so it will still have resonance as it should."
Ye Xiaoying and others were all confused, feeling what Ye Xuan said was somewhat outrageous.
What resonance? It sounds too fantastical, doesn’t it?
"Don’t believe it?" Ye Xuan, seeing their expressions, was also intrigued: "Then keep your eyes wide open!"
Saying that, Ye Xuan placed the small glass bottle to his chest, then slowly rotated his body.
The dried leaf in the glass bottle remained motionless.
Ye Xuan already rotated several times, yet still no reaction.
Ye Xiaoying couldn’t help but voice: "Ye Xuan, are you reliable or not?"
Yet, at this moment!
The dried leaf in the glass bottle suddenly lit up with a faint blue glow!!
