Chapter 258 Snow Terrain & Snow Lotus

The cold wind blows by like lancets.

The scene before Gao Ge is changing nonstop and he has an apparent feeling of weightlessness. It is like falling from the high altitude. He didn’t feel this in Mount Duanlong.

He reaches out his hand to grab an arm randomly. Regardless of whose arm, he just holds it tightly.

When he finally gets to see things clearly, he hears a cold voice.

“Let go of me.” Gao Ge subconsciously turns around and sees the cold and beautiful face of Xia Lu. In a hurry he releases his hand.

He wouldn’t feel this embarrassed even if he grabbed the arm of Yue Xincheng.

“What’s going on?” Xia Lu turns around to look at Gao Ge and asks.

Gao Ge also starts to look around.

It is really chilly.

As he looks afar, it is snowing heavily and the snow under his feet is quite thick. The whole world is covered with snow. Standing here, he feels as if being in the snow world. He looks around but he cannot find Yue Xincheng and the others. For now, he must find them first.

“Is this place within range of the secret realm?” Xia Lu is a bit confused, “It’s almost summer outside but here is still covered with thick snow.”

Gao Ge nods his head and feels rather surprised. In his previous life, he only knew the opening time and location of the secret realm. To his surprise, the secret realm turns out to be like this.

“How beautiful!” Xia Lu can’t help sighing.

Gao Ge glances at her.

She is a girl anyway.

Being in the secret realm, Xia Lu doesn’t think of the danger in this place or what they may encounter afterwards. The first thing she feels is that it looks beautiful here.

“There is a snow mountain at the back!” Xia Lu turns around and points at a direction, saying with excitement.

Gao Ge takes a glance and nods his head. He makes the decision at once, “Let’s go over there.”

“Okay!”

Walking in the snow, Gao Ge and Xia Lu move much slowly.

Although operating the power of stars can help him speed up, Gao Ge feels that it is better to save his power of stars as much as possible. Putting other things aside, even he will slightly consume his power of stars to keep out the cold. Fortunately, the aura within this place is rather ample, so he doesn’t have to worry much.

He has planned it well. After he finds Yue Xincheng, Meng Jing and other peers, he will start to run the Star Rotating Method and try to light up the fourth star map in this place.

It will be a pity if he doesn’t seize the opportunity to elevate his cultivation in such a favorable environment.

It is not long before Gao Ge and Xia Lu find a line of footprints.

“Shall we follow up?” Xia Lu asks.

Gao Ge thinks for a while and then turns around to look at Xia Lu, saying, “Wait for me here first and I will go to have a look.”

Xia Lu is a bit shocked, asking, “Why do you ask me to wait for you?”

“I won’t be found out by others if I follow up.”

Xia Lu nods her head.

Gao Ge exerts his Ghost-like Steps and treads on the snow land like walking on firm earth. Moreover, while Gao Ge is operating his power of stars, Xia Lu doesn’t even sense the change of Gao Ge’s Qi. She feels quite surprised and also understands why Gao Ge said he would not be found out.

Gao Ge doesn’t walk for long based on the footprints before he finds the people who leave them.

Judging from the clothes of the people, they are apparently the members of the Dragon Court. Yet, Gao Ge cannot tell which branch they belong to.

They don’t notice Gao Ge while he also doesn’t intend to say hi to them. Instead, he returns to Xia Lu.

Seeing that Gao Ge is back, Xia Lu hastens to go forward.

“They are the members of the Dragon Court.” Gao Ge immediately says before Xia Lu asks.

“Then let’s keep marching forward.”

“Okay.”

It is still snowing. Gao Ge wraps the clothes tightly to keep himself warm and still worries how long Meng Jing and the others can hold out in such an environment. Apart from that, he is also concerned with Chen Wangshi. Without the Rakshasa, she is only an ordinary girl. If she is separated with the members of the Dragon Court, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, compared with Meng Jing, Yue Xincheng and the others, Gao Ge is more worried about Chen Wangshi. However, as he thinks carefully, he feels that there is no need to worry about her. After all, there is a Rakshasa hiding inside her body. As long as the Rakshasa is not insane, it should know that it and Chen Wangshi coexist in one body. If Chen Wangshi dies, how can it live on? By then, will Gao Ge and the Dragon Court care about it?

The snow mountain is in front of them but Gao Ge and Xia Lu have walked for a long time.

At least one hour has passed.

As a saying goes, the mountain is always farther than you see.

If Gao Ge and Xia Lu try their best, they can walk faster.

While walking forward, the snow is getting heavier. Finally, Gao Ge and Xia Lu also have to exert the strength within their bodies to fight against the snow.

They are getting increasingly slow.

“If a cultivator at the realm of Qi-condensing comes here, I’m afraid that he cannot hold out for long.” Xia Lu who is following behind Gao Ge says.

Apart from the people of the Dragon Court and Cultivation Academy, there are many cultivators entering the snow terrain. They don’t know whether the people of the super first-class schools come here too.

Many people have entered the secret realm but by far, they only find the members of the Dragon Court, which suggests that this place is rather vast. After all, there are very few shelters in the snow terrain. Compared with the secret realm of Mount Duanlong, the view of this occasion is much broader.

Suddenly, Gao Ge stops.

Xia Lu, following behind him, also stops then.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Lu stares at the blizzard and asks. The air she inhales feels like ice.

“Look over there.” Gao Ge reaches out his hand to point at a direction.

That’s an intersection corner formed by two cliffs. Xia Lu glances at it and doesn’t find anything special. She can’t help asking, “What’s wrong? Are we going to take it as shelter from the snowstorm?” She believes it is also a good way out. They can continue marching towards the snow mountain when the snow is getting smaller.

“I am afraid that the snowstorm won’t stop. If you don’t believe it, we can go back and you will find it is getting much smaller.” Gao Ge says.

Xia Lu understands what Gao Ge means.

The snowstorm will get heavier at the closer distance from the snow mountain.

However, since so, why does Gao Ge stop?

Gao Ge doesn’t answer her question immediately. Instead, he walks towards the two cliffs.

Xia Lu catches up with him.

When she gets closer, Xia Lu realizes what Gao Ge was actually pointing at. She can’t help asking in surprise, “The snow lotus?”

“Yes, the snow lotus.” Gao Ge laughs and squats down to sweep off the snow above it. It is different from the snow lotus of Mount Heaven. The one he is holding is ridiculously white, which is almost merged with the snow. If it were not for the fact that he is close enough to feel the Qi of the lotus, he would not have looked at this direction and found it.

“There are more of them!” Xia Lu takes two steps backwards and exclaims.

They won’t care about the ordinary snow lotus, but since they used to go into the secret realm before, Xia Lu has every reason to believe that the plants that grow here must be good stuff.

When she went into the secret realm with Gao Ge for the first time, some random fruits they ate could help them elevate the capability.

“This is a group of snow lotuses. There can’t be only one snow lotus.” While saying that, Gao Ge immediately eats the snow lotus and starts to eat the plant like a barbarian.

“You eat it too!” Gao Ge raises his chin at Xia Lu.

Xia Lu rolls her eyes at him and feels despised at his reminder.

Looking at Gao Ge enjoying the taste of the snow lotus, she takes a deep breath, tears off a petal of the lotus and eats it.

“Emm?” The next second Xia Lu’s facial expression is changed.

The snow lotus doesn’t taste as bitter as she imagines. Instead, it tastes rather sweet. Cool as it is, it turns into a warm stream when it goes into the belly. Meanwhile, the strength is quickly supplemented.

“With the snow lotuses, we can hold out here for a longer time.” Gao Ge says smilingly.

“Yes!” Without any more hesitation, Xia Lu eats up the whole snow lotus.

While Xia Lu is eating the lotuses, Gao Ge is not idling away. Instead, he starts to count up the number of the snow lotuses within the small area. There are more than ten of them more or less.

The aura within one snow lotus is incomparable with a few or tens of spiritual jades.
