On top of the snow peaks, there is white snow and a biting cold wind.
Only the bonfire in Gu Yuan brought the slightest warmth.
Yun Duoduo rubbed his hands and warmed himself by the fire while waiting to eat the snow chicken.
The young man who suddenly appeared introduced himself as Zhang Chengze. His team was collecting elixirs in the mountains, but the team was broken up by the ferocious beast guarding the elixirs.
Zhang Chengze was looking for his teammates all the way, but he accidentally lost his way and ended up on the snowy peak in a hurry.
According to him, he has been hungry for a long time.
Seeing Zhang Chengze's miserable words, Yun Duoduo tore off some of his roasted snow chicken and handed it to Zhang Chengze.
On the other hand, Gu Yuan, who was adding firewood to the campfire, still had a stern expression, without any unnecessary expression at all.
Gu Yuan's behavior made Zhang Chengze, who was eating roasted snow chicken and observing secretly, a little embarrassed.
He didn't really come here for the food.
Thinking of their plan, Zhang Chengze rolled his eyes and swallowed the snow chicken in his mouth.
"I'm really sorry for eating your food."
"In this icy and snowy environment, these few mouthfuls of things really saved my life, Zhang Chengze."
Gu Yuan raised his head and glanced at Zhang Chengze, then lowered his head and continued to add firewood to the campfire.
Zhang Chengze's sudden appearance made Gu Yuan feel alert.
This is an inaccessible mountain snow peak. An injured person, even if he runs randomly in panic, will probably not persist in running up the mountain snow peak.
If Yun Duoduo hadn't said that he was willing to share the food with this seemingly pitiful guy, Gu Yuan would not have let him get close.
As for everything Zhang Chengze said during the meal, Gu Yuan would not believe a word.
Beside the campfire, Zhang Chengze was still mumbling words of thanks.
When Gu Yuan glanced at him just now, Zhang Chengze felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Keeping the consequences of mission failure in mind, the captain's anger was something he could not bear.
Zhang Chengze didn't dare to look up at Gu Yuan, so he quickly lowered his head and continued to say what he wanted to say.
"There is no way I can repay you for your life-saving grace."
"Well, I happen to have a piece of news about the elixir here, so I can use it to repay your life-saving grace..."
There are many inner disciples who hold several clues to the elixir. It is normal for Zhang Chengze to say so.
Soon, Zhang Chengze informed Gu Yuan of the location of the elixir.
Afterwards, he ate half of the snow chicken given by Yun Duoduo, and then left with the intention of continuing to look for his teammates.
Zhang Chengze's departure was somewhat beyond Gu Yuan's expectation. He was just half a snow chicken. How could he be saved?
In Gu Yuan's opinion, Zhang Chengze was not as hungry as he said.
According to his opinion, there must be some reason why Zhang Chengze suddenly appeared in Xuefeng.
Therefore, Gu Yuan had been on guard against Zhang Chengze and deliberately stood between him and Yun Duoduo, fearing that he would be detrimental to Yun Duoduo.
He even paid attention to his actions and was careful of him poisoning the food.
But now, Zhang Chengze actually just finished eating the snow chicken and chose to go down the mountain and leave.
This made Gu Yuan feel a little incredible.
This is an inaccessible snow peak area. The sound of Zhang Chengze's footsteps gradually walking away told Gu Yuan that Zhang Chengze really chose to leave.
Is it possible that I am worrying too much about all this?
Zhang Chengze is really just a passing visitor.
"Duoduo, are you okay?"
Gu Yuan still asked Yun Duoduo a little worriedly.
Just now, Zhang Chengze's only chance to come into contact with Yun Duoduo was when Yun Duoduo personally gave him his roasted snow chicken.
"I'm fine."
Yun Duoduo nibbled on the remaining bits of snow chicken, feeling a little puzzled.
After confirming that Yun Duoduo was not feeling any discomfort, Gu Yuan felt relieved.
"I'm not very hungry. You can eat this."
Gu Yuan handed the two snow chicken legs that he had reserved in advance to Yun Duoduo.
After Yun Duoduo had filled his stomach, Gu Yuan continued to set off with Yun Duoduo while it was still early.
Spending the night on a snowy peak is not the best option in any respect.
"Brother Gu Yuan, are we going to the place where Zhang Chengze mentioned the elixir?"
Sitting on the wooden sledge, Yun Duoduo asked Gu Yuan in front of him.
Gu Yuan took out the simple map Chen Shu drew for him and compared it with the information Zhang Chengze just told him.
It seems that the elixir location mentioned by Zhang Chengze is on the route mentioned by Chen Shu, but it is less than a hundred miles away.
"How about we go to the place Zhang Chengze said?"
Judging that the place Zhang Chengze mentioned was not too far away from the route of the abandoned ancient city, Gu Yuan also had an idea. After all, it was also an elixir, and it wouldn't be too troublesome to go there.
Yun Duoduo had never had any objections to Gu Yuan's route choice.
Along the way, she has developed a blind faith in Gu Yuan.
Whenever she is in danger, Gu Yuan always has a way to rescue her safely.
Under Gu Yuan's care, Yun Duoduo soon followed Gu Yuan away from the snow peak and came to a valley with waterfalls, pools and a small river.
Along the way, we rarely see such beautiful scenery.
Yun Duoduo fell in love with this small valley at first sight, laughed happily, and ran towards the small river in the valley.
"Gu Yuan, can we camp here?"
“It’s so beautiful here.”
Camping next to an unknown water source is actually not a reasonable choice.
Rivers and lakes may swell during extreme weather conditions.
If you camp near a water source at night, you may be washed away by the flood while sleeping.
In addition, the water source is also a drinking place for various nearby creatures.
When camping next to a water source, you are very likely to encounter various wild beasts at night, and even more dangerous beasts.
Therefore, it is not a wise choice to choose a campsite next to a water source at night.
However, when Gu Yuan saw Yun Duoduo cheering and cheering, he couldn't bear to refuse her small request.
At worst, he will be a little busier tonight and just deal with all the guys who knocked on the door.
"Okay, we'll camp here tonight."
"Yeah, great."
…
"Tian Yuanfeng, that man is here.
He also took a little girl with him and camped beside the small river in the valley."
Just after Gu Yuan entered the valley with Yun Duoduo, Zhang Chengze and another boy Zhou Daming hurried to a bush near the valley.
Their arrival caused the four teenagers who were resting in the bushes to open their eyes.
Among them, a young man with a sinister expression stood up and ordered everyone present.
"Everyone, get ready, we will start soon."
The person who spoke was Tian Yuanfeng, the captain of their six-man team.
They were waiting here to ambush Gu Yuan.
It should be said that the two teams did not have any deep hatred, but the elixir that Gu Yuan had collected on the snow peak was the one that this team was optimistic about first.
