Book 8 Chapter 14: Knife-like Snowflakes (2)

A night of cultivation and peace.

When XinFeng woke up, he noticed that the two groups of people had already left, he asked, “Uncle Feng, when did they leave?”

Feng Ying replied, “Quite a while ago, we’re leaving soon as well.”

XinFeng nodded, “En, I wonder how far we will go today.” He stood up and smoothened his clothing and hat.

Xin Zhou Lun was already prepared, he spoke, “Let’s go, we have to pass Hugo (He’gou) glacier today, it’ll be rather dangerous, energize yourself and eat some dried food, there’s no time to cook.”

Taking out their ready-made food, like dried meat, everyone started eating quickly.

XinFeng was already prepared, he took out a meat rice ball and ate it quickly, everyone had prepared this kind of food since they knew that cooking in the wild would be inconvenient.

And in ten minutes, Xin Zhou Lun spoke, “Alright, let’s go, I’d rather us be as early as possible, since the extra time can be used to deal with obstructions on our path, it’ll be easier on us.” Everyone listened to him as he was extremely experienced.

Walking out of the cave, XinFeng suddenly exclaimed, “Yi? It’s snowing!”

Xin Zhou Lun could not help but curse, the snowing here was different from the snow at other places. Thanks to the violent winds, the snowflakes here were like knives in the air, if one’s clothing wasn’t up to par, it would be ripped apart.

After using the rope to tie everyone to each other, Chui Tou rose his hammer and blocked the snowflake coming at his face, producing a shocking sound of metal colliding.

XinFeng could not help but curse, “Fuck……how wild!” with a flip of his palm, a steel shield appeared in his hands, he spoke, “Uncle Ying, this is for you.”

Feng Ying laughed as he took the shield, “You actually have this kind of things as well.”

XinFeng took out another shield for Shi Hu and also one for himself, raising it, we blocked the snowflakes coming his way.

With the rope leading them, even if XinFeng did not to look at the road, the group of them would not get lost, granted that Chui Tou knows the way.

Feng Ying spoke, “Today’s trip will be difficult.”

XinFeng hid his head behind his shield, his eyes staring at his own feet as he blindly followed Feng Ying.

Today’s journey was multiple times harder than yesterday’s, which only had the obstruction of wind. Today, not only was there wind, there was also the snowflakes that the winds carried. The snowflakes here were completely different from the ones in XinFeng’s past life, more accurately, the snow here should be called ice flakes, by travelling in the wind, they resembled countless little knives flying in the air.

As the snowflakes landed on his shield, ding dong sounds continuously rang out, causing XinFeng to grumble, “This isn’t snow, these are knives! But even knives aren’t this powerful!”

Feng Ying laughed, “This is just snow, hail, hey hey, that would be true suffering. Of course, with our strength, we don’t have to worry, but the way it smashes down is rather scary, we would need to activate our defenses…….”

XinFeng and Feng Ying teamed up, with Feng Ying’s shield in front while XinFeng’s shield was positioned at the top of their heads, effectively protecting the both of them. Actually, with his cultivation, these snowflakes was nothing much, even real knives were not scary to them, it was just that their clothing would suffer if they were exposed in the snow for too long, and without the clothes’ protection against the wind, they would truly suffer.

Luckily, the hat covered both their heads and mouths, but speaking was not obstructed, they could still speak but they had to speak loudly.

After walking for two hours, Xin Zhou Lun spoke, “There’s a place in front that will shield us from the wind, we’ll rest for a bit before leaving! We’re reaching the Hugo Glacier soon, it’s a bit dangerous there so all of you energize yourselves.”

Quickly, they came to a crack in the ice cliff, there was three cliff walls here, only the top and the entrance were open. As they entered, the crowd glanced at the white marks left by the wind, and when they entered, they suddenly felt slightly warmer.

Xin Zhou Lun spoke, “Alright, let’s use this chance to eat and rest for a bit before leaving.”

At this kind of place, food was important, as long as they, practitioners, had sufficient food, they would be able to withstand the cold.

It was much better to use up there food compared to their Lun Yin Li and Yin Li, Lun Yin Li and Yin Li was their fighting strength, if it was wasted carelessly, they would suffer when danger approached. As Xin Zhou Lun had experience in this matter, he took great care in arranging time for eating.

Everyone had readymade food in their Hidden Lun spaces, something they had prepared beforehand. As for Chui Tou and Kuang Fu, Xin Zhou Lun was already prepared. The two of them were natives without any Hidden Lun spaces, if they needed anything, they would have to bring it with their body. Of course, by working under Xin Zhou Lun, they didn’t have to worry about food.

XinFeng had prepared quite a bit of food, especially marinated and dried meat. As for Feng Ying and Shi Hu, they had done the same, even the half-death Jun Daya was prepared.

Taking out a roasted and marinated duck, Feng Ying’s hand flashed with light as steam puffed from the meat. But before he could even take two bites, the duck was stiff as steel again due to the cold. With every bite, Feng Ying’s hands would flash.

XinFeng wasn’t eating so luxuriously. His food was already made in the size of a child’s fist, it could easily be placed in his mouth whole, and with every flash of electricity in his hand, he would throw a ball of meat into his mouth.

Eating ten pieces of meat and drinking a few months of wine in one go, XinFeng was recharged. But in reality, this small amount of food was only good for as appetizer. Since they didn’t plan on staying too long, Xin Zhou Lun quickly spoke, “Alright, pack up, we’re going to enter Hugo Glacier.”

The Hugo Glacier was about a hundred and twenty kilometers long and thirty kilometers wide. Luckily, they were going through it instead of going around it. With this speed, a day was not enough to travel a hundred and twenty kilometers in this weather, their best would be eighty kilometers, but in this place, to be able to walk even fifty meters was a blessing.

This was also why they didn’t dare to wait around, they had to quickly go through this glacier.

The moment they entered, Xin Zhou Lun immediately had the crowd gather into a small circle. He spoke, “Long story short, remember two things, first……walk fast, don’t stop. Second, when in danger, act without mercy no matter who the target is, a beast or a human. You don’t have to kill the opponent, just have them retreat, and don’t chase them no matter what, remember that?”

XinFeng wanted to say something, but he held it down and simply replied, “I remember!”

Xin Zhou lun spoke, “Good. Chui Tou, I’ll walk in front with you, in cramped places, you only have to give me directions, I’ll walk in front and you walk behind!”

Chui Tou replied simply, “Alright!”

Only after they were back on track did XinFeng ask, “Uncle Feng, there are beasts here?”

Feng Ying spoke, “There is, a lot of them.”

XinFeng was speechless, “Impossible……in this weather where we can’t even speak properly, beasts can live?” Before coming, he had assumed this place to be similar to Tiger Cliff Castle, but such an assumption was immediately thrown away after entering Hugo Castle, this was too cold, he couldn’t imagine any beast to be able to live here.

Feng Ying spoke, “The wild beast, En, a better term would be Ice beasts, all have rather okay strength, but when they come together in numbers, they are very strong.”

XinFeng did not understand, “On our way here, we didn’t……en, even meet an Ice beast.”

Feng Ying laughed, “This is normal, did you think that ice beasts were like wild beasts who roamed everywhere. A territory of an ice beast would span over dozens of kilometers. And in this weather, scents are all faint. It would be hard for two opponents to meet with hundreds of kilometers between them.”

XinFeng was actually considered a decent hunter. He spoke, “That means, unless we’re face to face with one, it would be hard to run into them.”

Feng Ying nodded, “That’s right, even in battle, one could easily escape if they set their mind to it. The important thing is that it is not their hunting season now, most of the Ice beasts have holed themselves up.”

Looking up, XinFeng saw that the four directions were covered in steep icicles and walls, and with every gust of wind, white scars would appear on those icy walls. It was difficult to see more than a few meters away. He spoke, “I wonder how Chui Tou can find his way.”

Feng Ying spoke, “This is why it is important to have a native with you in the wild, you must also protect them.”

XinFeng spoke, “Oh, so it’s like that, I understand now.”

So it wasn’t the hunting season yet. XinFeng found it puzzling, where would the Ice beasts hide in this place? But after a while of thinking, he gave up and instead focused on following the group.

Xin Zhou Lun was in the front, in his hands a shield. He had noticed how XinFeng was using one and found it convenient, therefore he asked XinFeng for one, since he did not have such low leveled weapons with him.

Kacha sounds were heard nonstop, causing XinFeng’s scalp to go numb as he could not help but ask, “What kind of a fucking sound is this, it too uncomfortable!”

Shi Hu replied from behind, “It’s the sound of the icicles cracking.”

Looking up, XinFeng could not help but smile bitterly, “If this thing were to collapse, it would be too much.”

Shi Hu laughed, “It’ll be fine, with two ninth ringed and two eighth ringed masters, even if the icicles and walls were to fall, it wouldn’t be a big problem. We’ll just push it away.” Just as he finished speaking, Kacha sounds started coming nonstop from in front.

Xin Zhou Lun’s voice came from in front, “Be careful, everyone!”

A message from Puttty (in cased you missed it):

All of you may not know but I have a website, Putttytranslations.wordpress.com where I used to translate in with my real life friends, unfortunately, all of them quit translating since it isn’t their cup of tea, but one of the novels one of them translated has been picked back up by me.

As of right now, God of thunder is really boring for me, since there isn’t any particularly interesting development, but this doesn’t mean I will stop translating GoT, it will still have its weekly and sponsored chapters, I will just love my other novel more. Its name is King of the Eternal Night. A particularly tragic novel, a genre I like, ohohohohoho. The MC is so cruel he managed to crush another kid’s balls in the story only eight chapters in. Ohohohohoho.
