Chapter 1333: Will I Die in the Mountains?
Sure enough, when she really saw the two rings of green, Xia Yinian slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
No map, no precise route, but at least she found the coordinates and could see the position of the sun through the dark clouds.
According to the map in her mind, she had roughly determined her current location.
The two mountains were in the northwest direction from the city center, so she was now facing away from the mountains, with the city center ahead.
Despite the journey being inevitably difficult and long, walking was not an option, but at least she didn’t need to take more detours.
Worried that the people behind would catch up, once the direction was determined, Xia Yinian no longer lingered.
Judging by the position of the sun, it should already be after five in the afternoon, the car had been moving for two hours, this road back was really long.
Maybe, if she could leave this mountain, she’d have more chances of safety.
As the representative from Ye City for the competition, her disappearance would definitely draw significant attention.
Her bodyguards, Brother Leng’s men, along with the police from Ye City and Bing City were all searching for her location.
If she could escape the mountain before it got dark, she might be safe...
Xia Yinian’s disappearance indeed caused panic over a large area.
This was an international competition, Xia Yinian represented not just Ye City, but also our country.
From the time she disappeared until now, it’s been two to three hours, the number of people sent by the police increased from dozens to hundreds or even thousands.
Feng Yan not only arranged bodyguards for Xia Yinian, but secretly sent thirty highly skilled brothers to follow her from Yaoshan to Ye City and then to Bing City.
Gu Beicheng sent quite a few people to help Leng Zhishuo, including the anonymous force he had formed in Bing City.
In short, by land, sea, and air, everyone was prepared.
The people who kidnapped Xia Yinian exploited the local geographic advantages.
The car Xia Yinian escaped in was already the fourth one she was on after being kidnapped.
Except for the mastermind, the people behind didn’t even know who the passengers were.
If they knew they were involved in kidnapping a participant in this year’s Alchemy Competition, many wouldn’t agree to take the task.
Aside from knowing that this money wasn’t theirs to earn, many still had a patriotic spirit.
Xia Yinian was an outstanding alchemist in Ye City, if she could stand out in this Alchemy Competition, it would also bring glory to the nation, wouldn’t it?
The search continues, but the sky seemed to darken more and more...
Though the journey was quiet, Xia Yinian’s mood couldn’t calm down.
Dark clouds pressed down, visibility continued to drop.
"Surely it can’t be this unlucky, meeting a blizzard?" Xia Yinian muttered to herself.
Unexpectedly, just after she spoke, a gust of wind came, accompanied by fluttering snow.
"Truly unlucky." Xia Yinian murmured, her lips trembling, feeling somewhat helpless.
At this moment, she had already found a way down the mountain, but didn’t dare walk openly on the road.
To descend, perhaps this path wasn’t wrong, so she continued down the mountain without deviating too much from the path.
The wind grew stronger, and more snow started to fall.
Looking at the endless forest, Xia Yinian even worried whether she might die in the mountains?
Cold, hungry, tired, thirsty, coupled with the blizzard, her speed became especially slow.
A black, elongated sedan drove through the mountain road, a swaying small silhouette vaguely appeared in the man’s sight.
"Stop the car." A pure, steady voice sounded inside the vehicle.
