Chapter 206
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Fu Xuezhou had eaten something, which was better than not eating anything at all as written in the diary.
The Fu Xuezhou in the diary had endured for nine days, so the Fu Xuezhou in this world could definitely endure for ten days.
Lou Yan firmly believed that Fu Xuezhou was not dead. What if there was no pulse or heartbeat? When Fu Xuezhou was shot before, he also had no heartbeat or breath, but he still came back to life, didn’t he?
Yes, that’s right. Fu Xuezhou definitely wasn’t dead… He was just unconscious due to the cold. Once out of the extreme cold, once in a warm place, Fu Xuezhou’s injuries would heal, his severed arm and fingers would grow back, and he would regain consciousness.
The return journey was faster than the journey here, but when they reached the bottom of the cliff, the snow candle was only left with the last segment, which could only last for another ten minutes.
Without a word, Li Sanxin took the rope and tied it around Lou Yan and Fu Xuezhou, firmly securing Fu Xuezhou on Lou Yan’s back before handing the snow candle to Lou Yan. “You two go up first.”
But Lou Yan didn’t accept it. He said to Li Sanxin, “Hold me from behind, tie the rope around yourself, and we’ll go up together.”
Li Sanxin hesitated for a moment, shaking his head in refusal. “No, our combined weight is too heavy. This mountainside is slippery and difficult to climb. We need Little Lu and Duan Zege to pull us up. The two of them alone won’t be able to lift the weight of all three of us.”
“It’s okay,” Lou Yan directly pulled Li Sanxin over and tied the rope around his waist. “There’s not much wax left in the candle, no need to make two trips. Have you forgotten about my awakened wind ability?”
Li Sanxin suddenly realized. Right, Yanzi’s wind could lift them up!
Without further hesitation, Li Sanxin quickly prepared the ropes, and with Lou Yan in front and him behind, they protected Fu Xuezhou in the middle. “All set, Yanzi!”
Lou Yan gave the rope a tug, and soon, there was a force pulling on it. At the same time, lips reappeared in Lou Yan’s palm, blowing out a strong wind that was enough to lift them up.
The rope was continuously pulled up by Lu Haoxiu and Duan Zege. Just as the three of them reached the middle height of the abyss, the rope suddenly slackened and dropped sharply!
“D*mn!”
Immediately, Lou Yan and the others followed the rope’s descent, but Lou Yan increased the wind power in time to stop the three of them from continuing to fall, but they still crashed into the mountain wall.
Li Sanxin groaned in pain, and Lou Yan felt half of his body go numb from the impact.
Neither of them saw that Fu Xuezhou, protected between them, trembled slightly and opened his eyes faintly after this fall.
Fu Xuezhou’s eyes were damaged by frost, and everything he could see became extremely blurry. In his blurry vision, he vaguely saw Lou Yan’s side profile and neck.
Lou Yan’s voice seemed to come from a distance, and Fu Xuezhou seemed to hear him calling, “Li Sanxin… Li Sanxin… How’s Fu Xuezhou…?”
Fu Xuezhou suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, weakly resting on Lou Yan’s shoulder and closing his eyes again. His mouth moved slightly, and two words that no one heard dissipated before they could be uttered: “Lou Yan…”
Lou Yan stiffened, touching the blood on his neck. For a moment, he didn’t dare to turn his head, only asking stiffly, “Li Sanxin, are you and Fu Xuezhou okay?”
“Cough, cough, cough,” Li Sanxin coughed violently a few times, then reached out to check Fu Xuezhou’s condition with difficulty. “I’m fine, but Fu Xuezhou spat out blood and seems to have hit his internal organs! D*mn it… what’s going on up there?!”
Hearing this, Lou Yan used even greater wind power to lift the three of them upward. “They might have encountered danger!”
Fortunately, the descending rope stopped in time, and there was pulling force from above again. With the help of the rope’s pull, Lou Yan quickly climbed out of the extreme cold h*ll with Fu Xuezhou and Li Sanxin.
“Brother Lou! Some anomalies are chasing us!” Seeing them come out, Lu Haoxiu’s eyes lit up, and he shouted anxiously.
Lou Yan’s eyes narrowed, and he looked intently. There was only Lu Haoxiu anxiously pulling the rope for them in place, and the wound that had burst open stained his clothes with blood. In the distance, Duan Zege was battling with a cluster of red mist.
Lou Yan directly broke the rope tied to him, pushing Fu Xuezhou to Li Sanxin and saying, “Take care of him.”
Then he rushed to the red mist like a gust of wind. The bone spikes flashed with cold light, and with a scream from within the red mist, it immediately dispersed, revealing Shadow Reaper, kneeling on both knees with its chest pierced by bone spikes.
Duan Zege breathed a sigh of relief, and the surgical thread on his fingertips retracted into his fingers, and the ghost baby in his belly calmed down. “You finally came out.”
Lou Yan nodded, staring at Shadow Reaper with murderous intent. His eyes turned red in an instant. After using the “True Sight” to see where the Shadow Reaper’s heart was, Lou Yan’s crimson eyes returned to normal. He pulled out the bone spike and pressed it against the Shadow Reaper’s occiput before it could try to escape, coldly saying, “Your heart is here. You can try whether your speed of escape is faster or my speed of killing you.”
Cold sweat broke out on the Shadow Reaper’s forehead, smudging the thick makeup on his face. He smiled awkwardly a few times, adopting the demeanor of conceding defeat like a human, and raised his hands in surrender. The gentleman’s cane in his right hand almost poked Lou Yan’s waist and abdomen, “Don’t kill me, I surrender! I surrender! Mighty and noble Mr. Lou Yan, there’s no need for you to treat a poor Shadow Reaper like this. Please believe me, I won’t run away!”
Although he said so, the Shadow Reaper’s eyes were not honest, and the black spider on his face quietly climbed back behind his ears.
Duan Zege timely spoke up, “Watch out for its spiders. Its spiders are poisonous!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Yan had already pierced another bone spike into the spider. The part of the spider touched by the bone spike emitted white smoke like burning, and a strange smell, unpleasant yet fragrant, reached the noses of the three.
Lou Yan sneered and shook the spider in front of Shadow Reaper. “Shadow Reaper, what else do you want to play?”
Shadow Reaper’s smile was uglier than crying. His shoulders slumped, and this time he really didn’t dare to move. Even the exaggerated stage tone disappeared, “Please spare my life, Mr. Lou Yan. I really don’t dare anymore.”
Lou Yan glanced at Li Sanxin and the others in the distance, confirming that their surroundings were safe, then quickened his pace and questioned, “Speak, was it the Anomaly Lord who sent you? Where’s the Anomaly Lord?!”
Shadow Reaper’s face showed a strange smile. “How could it be the Anomaly Lord? The Anomaly Lord clearly died in the amusement park —”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lou Yan ruthlessly pierced his brain with a bone spike without hesitation, inching closer to the heart hidden in Shadow Reaper’s brain. “I’ll count to three. 3, 2, 1.”
As Lou Yan counted down, Shadow Reaper’s face turned paler and sweatier. By the time Lou Yan counted to the last number, Shadow Reaper couldn’t bear the pressure anymore and shouted, “Quick, attack them, damn rotting ghost birds!”
In an instant, countless black dots flew from behind the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and earth seemed to be covered with dark clouds. Black feathers replaced the flying snow in the air, and these black dots rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed. Some rushed towards Li Sanxin, Fu Xuezhou, and Lu Haoxiu, while others came straight for Lou Yan and Duan Zege.
The flock of birds covered the sky like a black cloud, and the stench of decay rose to the sky. Lou Yan looked up and found that these birds were all the black, decaying giant birds he had seen in the amusement park.
Shadow Reaper showed a triumphant smile, about to turn into red mist and dissipate while Lou Yan was distracted, but he suddenly felt a severe pain in his brain.
Shadow Reaper’s eyes widened in horror, and he looked up, seeing a white bone spike protruding from his forehead, dripping blood.
Lou Yan had actually killed him without hesitation…
Shadow Reaper fell to the ground without closing his eyes.
His last thought was unwillingness. Wasn’t Lou Yan trying to get information about the Anomaly Lord from him…
…
Lou Yan pulled out the bone spike and quickly flew back to Li Sanxin and the others with Duan Zege.
In the blink of an eye, the Rotting Ghost Birds were already only a few dozen meters away from them. These decaying giant birds did not cease their attack because of the death of the Shadow Demon. They were so numerous that it was terrifying, blotting out the sky and covering the sun, their pairs of crimson eyes shining with a ghostly light. Just one glance at them could send shivers down the spine of anyone suffering from nyctophobia.
Dozens of fast-flying large birds had already rushed in front of them. Lou Yan pulled out his spinal whip and fiercely broke the spines of several large birds. Turning his head, he saw Li Sanxin, Duan Zege, and Lu Haoxiu also starting to fight against the birds in a desperate manner.
Some birds were clearly aiming for Fu Xuezhou, viciously pecking at him from among the protective line of people, trying to drag him back into the extreme cold h*ll.
Lou Yan’s expression turned cold. He flashed to Fu Xuezhou’s side, whipped his spinal whip, and swept up all the decaying large birds trying to get close to Fu Xuezhou, throwing them back into the extreme cold h*ll.
He squatted down and carried Fu Xuezhou on his shoulders, casually picking up a nearby rope to rebind Fu Xuezhou. With a grim look, he stared at the sky filled with black, decaying birds.
This was the killing intent emanating from the Anomaly Lord.
The power of one rotting ghost bird was already formidable, let alone the thousands of them here. Even if they were stronger, these rotting ghost birds would eventually wear them down in the North Pole.
The Anomaly Lord had made up his mind not to let them leave here alive.
Lou Yan quickly helped Lu Haoxiu, who had been pecked down by the rotting ghost birds, up and pushed him behind him. After killing several rotting ghost birds that rushed over again with bone spikes, he decisively said, “Stay behind me.”
While dealing with the rotting ghost birds, everyone slowly retreated behind Lou Yan. Lou Yan asked, “How long can the snow candle last?”
Li Sanxin took out the snow candle, now only one centimeter thick, and solemnly said while using surgical thread to strangle one of the rotting ghost birds, “At most three minutes!”
“That’ll do,” Lou Yan said. “Take out the umbrella from the bag and open it, then light the candle.”
Lou Yan looked up at the rotting ghost birds, his slightly raised eyes narrowing.
But the Anomaly Lord had forgotten that this was the North Pole, where the temperature was extremely low, especially near the extreme cold h*ll.
Humans were so small in front of nature, and anomalies were just as insignificant. The low temperature could kill Fu Xuezhou, and it could also kill other anomalies.
The Anomaly Lord probably had already forgotten this fact, and he probably had already forgotten that Lou Yan was no longer the same Lou Yan as before.
Lou Yan’s lips slightly curled upwards as he stretched out his right hand towards the sky.
His fingers were fair and slender, with the fingertip and knuckle slightly reddened by the cold wind. The entire hand looked as delicate as a piece of art. At this moment, this hand elegantly moved in the air.
Drip.
Drip.
Torrential rain poured down from the sky!
