White snow covers the green mountains on both sides.
Along with this, there was a faint sound, and a figure covered in snow appeared in this lonely world, blending into the vast whiteness of everything.
The wind howled at the mouth of the valley, picking up a sheet of white snowflakes in the snow ahead.
It is obvious that the outside world is still approaching summer and the temperature is gradually rising. However, the hinterland canyon in the mountains has a completely different climate from the outside world.
The temperature is extremely cold, and the vast white snowy mountains are piled up. This unusual and special environment is also extremely shocking.
One of the branch strongholds of the Blood Sea Sect is hidden deep in this middle-aged snowy mountain.
This place is inaccessible, and it is really inconvenient to get in and out. However, it is precisely because of the inconvenience that it is more difficult to be discovered and broken.
According to the information he learned from Sun Changya, the entrance to the Blood Sea Sect's branch stronghold is hidden in this area. If ordinary people don't know this area, it will be very difficult to find it.
I'm afraid that just by stepping into it, you will lose your way and not know where you are going from east to west.
However, these problems are not a problem for Shen Xiu, because now there are people leading the way, so everything will not go wrong.
When the ghost of Sun Changya appeared, he was just walking on his way home.
In the vast snow field, there are tall and solitary cedars in the middle. It is completely silent and empty, and it is as quiet and lonely as a dead land.
Shen Xiu rarely wore a white robe, which was all white, hiding his figure well in the ice and snow.
From a distance, it has become one with the snowfield. If you don't have enough eyesight, it will be difficult to spot it.
This is exactly what he specially prepared after knowing the information about this snow-capped mountain, because it will not be easy to be discovered.
Although it didn't matter if he was discovered, he still tried to save as much as possible where he could save combat power, just to prevent any accidents from happening.
This layer of snow is very thick. If you step on it without paying attention, your whole body will sink. If you encounter any hidden potholes, you may disappear completely.
But those are only for ordinary people, and extraordinary people like Shen Xiu don't have such worries.
With his current level of cultivation, body, technique, and path, he is already able to fly in the air, let alone step on the snow without leaving a trace, and there is no obstacle to walking on it.
And these are no obstacles to Sun Changya, who has become a ghost.
Sun Changya's ghost led the way, followed closely by Shen Xiu, heading north, and soon entered the pine forest Sun Changya mentioned. What he has to do now is to follow Sun Changya and find the entrance to the sunken tunnel. .
Above the sky, a dark cloud covered half of the sun, causing the sky to darken. Even the light falling on the ground became much dim, so that the entire cedar forest looked like it was inlaid with a golden edge.
Here, the snow layer becomes thicker, and some cedars are even covered by half of their height, making some of the branches appear to be growing close to the ground.
Suddenly, Sun Changya in front stopped.
At this moment, Chen Xiu heard a whining sound coming from somewhere ahead.
Dog?
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Xiu's figure moved slightly and quietly flew to a big tree on the side. His whole person instantly blended into the surrounding environment.
Not long after, two big men appeared nearby followed by a vicious dog that looked like a calf.
They walked pretty well. Although the snow covered their calves with every step, it was not enough to sink their entire bodies. When Shen Xiu took a closer look, he saw that they were just martial arts cultivators of the third realm.
"There is a hairy mountain deer in this damn place. I think we should go back early. Is the wine in the church no longer fragrant, or is the meat not delicious?"
"It's boring to go back. On a day like today, the five girls don't have anything to do."
"Bah, even in ordinary times, can the fifth girl like you?"
……
The two men were singing and joking in the snow, unaware of the approaching danger.
At this moment, the vicious dog suddenly let out a continuous roar in a certain direction. The hairs on its body stood up, and it looked extremely vigilantly in the direction behind the big tree in front of it.
"Who, who is there?"
The two men reacted instantly, and both drew their swords behind them and made fighting postures.
At this moment, the branches and leaves of the big tree trembled slightly, and then an unexpected figure walked out from behind.
"Protector Sun?"
The two big men were slightly stunned, but they still saluted.
However, when they heard the vicious dog beside them that was fearfully retreating and still roaring, the two of them suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The vicious dogs raised in the sect are extremely sensitive to smells, and they all know everyone in the sect. How could they be so reckless towards Protector Sun in the sect?
Unless this Protector Sun is not Protector Sun!
The two of them had this thought in their minds at the same time, and while their hearts were chilling, they suddenly retreated violently.
However, this evasive action was too late after all, or in other words, due to the huge disparity in strength between them, it would be useless to move up a little earlier in the morning.
Before the two big men had time to react, a fist came out from behind one of the big men.
Just as the other big man was about to turn around, he heard a crisp click, and his neck was instantly twisted and hung softly on his shoulders.
All this happened in a flash of lightning. Just as the ferocious vicious dog was about to turn around and bite, a fist once again occupied its entire field of vision.
This vicious dog that was sensitive to breath, Chen Xiu felt that it was still somewhat useful, at least more useful than the two men who had not reached the third level of cultivation, so he asked Sun Changya's ghost to gather some strength.
When Shen Xiu arrived, he personally used the knife. The vicious dog didn't let out a whimpering scream the whole time. Its neck was stabbed through. Not long after, a ghost came out of the vicious dog's neck crookedly. The corpse stood up.
Soon the ground was dyed red, and Shen Xiu's figure disappeared into the ice and snow.
Members of the Blood Sea Sect have already appeared here, and it is obviously not far from the Blood Sea Sect's headquarters.
Following the still-disappearing footprints of the two people and the dog, and the guidance of the ghost of Sun Changya in front, Chen Xiu quickly found the entrance to the sunken tunnel hidden in the ground.
He was hidden behind a rock and shrouded by a leafy cedar. If it weren't for the traces of these footprints and the guidance of Sun Changya's ghost, it would be difficult for outsiders to detect him.
Chen Xiu did not hesitate and let Sun Changya walk in front, while he followed behind. He stepped into the cave entrance and was plunged into darkness in a blink of an eye.
This is the tunnel leading to the Blood Sea Sect's stronghold.
