Chapter 219

"How is it possible?"

Du Wei's first reaction was disbelief.

Three days had passed since he and Gao De last met.

In these three days, he hadn't slacked off at all.

In Du Wei's cognition, this novice rookie who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth should have been left far behind by him.

He even thought that Gao De had very likely already known when to retreat and withdrawn from Dandong Snow Peak.

But eyes don't lie.

That "novice rookie" was indeed moving toward his position at this time.

The distance between the two was at most an hour or two of travel.

Now he was looking down from a high position and could see the other party, while Gao De seemed to be because of the position relationship, hadn't discovered his figure yet.

Du Wei froze in place for a moment.

Subsequently, he no longer looked at Ailahaimu, nor did he look at Gao De, set his steps, and walked upward with big strides.

This time, he must fiercely leave this "rookie" behind!

Du Wei said to himself fiercely in his heart.

Glorious inheritance often also means excessive pride.

These two are symbiotic.

Gao De didn't cast 【Endure Environment】.

He wanted to adapt through 【Adaptation】 quickly while the current temperature hadn't dropped to a level that the body couldn't bear.

If he cast 【Endure Environment】 from the beginning, he would be comfortable, but 【Adaptation】 would no longer take effect because of the spell's effect: the current environment is comfortable for you, so there is no need to adapt.

In the package on Gao De's body, there were three more Ice Soul Stones and a piece of frozen beef.

The three Ice Soul Stones naturally came from three small ice elementals.

The beef came from a snowfield wild yak he encountered yesterday, with a net meat amount of over five hundred catties.

But due to the weight problem, Gao De could only cut off a piece of the most tender tenderloin to bring along.

His mind was all on the rapidly improving "cold resistance" and the ley-line creatures that might pop out at any time, so naturally, he wouldn't notice Du Wei above him.

Much less would he know that, without his awareness, this proud youth had already silently started competing with him.

One hour later.

Gao De also arrived at the halfway point.

Like Du Wei, he chose to rest here temporarily, and also took the opportunity to enjoy Ailahaimu from an overlooking angle.

After simple replenishment, Gao De confirmed Fuluola's state again.

"Is Fuluola-my lord really not cold?"

"Magic user, you have asked many times," Fuluola was confused.

"Repeated questioning is a manifestation of human concern."

"Oh~ Oh!"

"Shall we continue on our way?"

"You decide."

"We are traveling together, so naturally, we should ask for Fuluola-my lord's opinion when making decisions."

"Then ask again."

"Shall we continue on our way?"

"Hmm!" Fuluola immediately spoke out, very decisively.

Truly a good child who is good at listening to opinions.

"Then let's go!"

Gao De tightened his clothes and took another step in the increasingly biting cold wind.

The sky darkened again.

But before that, Gao De had already found a "natural," excellent camping spot.

It was a sheltered rock slope, and the ground was as flat as if it had been tidied up.

Of course, Gao De didn't know that it wasn't like it had been tidied up, but it was indeed tidied up.

It was just that the youth who tidied up this place to prepare as today's camping spot suddenly felt that staying here had a high risk of being caught up by Gao De.

So he gritted his teeth and gave up this place, continuing to move upward.

Gao De, who was completely unaware, just comfortably set up his tent on the sheltered slope that didn't need much tidying.

Then, just like usual, he first predicted the weather for tomorrow through 【Druid Trick】.

But this time, what appeared before his eyes was no longer the golden ball representing a sign of clear skies, but a small tornado.

This represented that tomorrow would be a windy day.

"Fuluola-my lord, I'm afraid we'll have to nest here for a day tomorrow," Gao De thought for a moment and said to Fuluola.

"Why?"

"Tomorrow is a windy day."

"What's wrong with a windy day?"

"A windy day is very dangerous." "How dangerous?"

"It might blow me away," Gao De said melancholically.

"!! That is indeed very dangerous," Fuluola vigilantly flapped her little wings.

If the magic user, who is so big, could be blown away, then if it were her, wouldn't she go to heaven? Dangerous!

Gao De went to reinforce the tent frame again, and then found a few stones to press on the four corners of the tent.

Hope it can hold up... After doing everything he could, Gao De could only pray.

Although the windproof and thermal insulation effect of this tent was not significant, in the snowy wilderness, having a roof over your head when sleeping always makes people feel more at ease.

Simply started a fire, took out the frozen beef tenderloin, and roasted it over the fire.

As for seasonings, naturally there were none.

But it wasn't a big problem; in this situation, having a hot meal was already an extremely happy thing.

What's more, Gao De also simply adjusted the beef to a salty taste through 【Prestidigitation】.

Subsequently, he did the same as usual, drilled into the tent, and first did his homework, performing his daily fixed practice.

Then, amidst the constant howling wind outside, he entered dreamland.

Even without 【Adaptation】, the speed at which people adapt to the environment is actually very fast.

For example, Gao De was now almost immune to the constant howling wind outside.

The next morning, early, the wind outside became louder.

Fuluola was startled awake very early, first poked her head out of the tent to take two looks, almost got blown away by the strong wind, and hurriedly drilled back into the tent.

She flew in circles above Gao De's body.

She wanted to wake Gao De up, but was afraid of disturbing him.

Not waking Gao De up, she felt it wouldn't do.

So Fuluola flew to Gao De's ear, lowered her voice, and called "magic user, magic user" in an extremely weak voice, as if she wanted to wake Gao De up in his dream.

No way, the wind outside was so strong, Fuluola was a little scared.

"Magic user, magic user, magic user..."

Although he was almost immune to the noise of wind and snow, in this environment, Gao De still kept a state of light sleep subconsciously.

So Fuluola's extremely small voice was still sensed by him.

Opened his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Big eyes staring at small eyes.

"What is Fuluola-my lord doing?"

Fuluola blinked her eyes, "It's blowing a strong wind outside."

"I know," Gao De said.

Fuluola stopped talking.

"If there's nothing else, I'll continue sleeping," he turned over, preparing to continue resting.

Fuluola was suddenly anxious, flew from this side to the other side, and continued to stare at Gao De with big eyes.

"It's blowing a strong wind outside," she stared at Gao De, seriously.

"Is Fuluola-my lord afraid?"

"Yes."

Then Gao De had to get up.

"It's okay," he comforted.

"It might blow people away."

"That was just my exaggerated description, it won't really blow people away."

"So that's how it is," Fuluola thought thoughtfully.

Whoo whoo whoo~~~ Woo woo woo~~~ Next, two people, one big and one small, sat in the tent, staring at each other with big eyes, speechless, sitting and listening to the wind blowing the snow.

Bang! No iron horse ice river entered the dream.

What came was a person.

A person who rolled down from an unknown high place, accurately hitting the tent that had been standing firm in the strong wind for most of the day.

Directly and ruthlessly smashed a big hole in the tent, almost smashing Gao De in the tent together.

Throwing objects from high altitude is a crime... Although this matter is worth a "damn," Gao De had a good mentality, and actually had the mood to come up with a slightly cold complaint in his heart.

That person who fell from the sky seemed to have fainted, lost consciousness, and lay motionless in the center of the broken tent in a face-down posture.

There really is such an unlucky person... Gao De shook his head, no way, couldn't care about mourning for the tent, bent down to first laboriously pry the person's body.

Gao De had to first turn him over, to avoid this person not falling to death, but suffocating to death first.

"Magic user."

"Hmm?"

"Fuluola-my lord told you it would blow people away!"

"It was my mistake."
