Chapter 220

Turning that person who fell from "the sky" over and seeing his face clearly, Gao De was stunned for a moment.

Looking at that familiar face he had seen for the third time, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Why is it you again... Now there is a reason that must be saved.

Gao De leaned slightly close to his mouth and nose, and then pressed his finger lightly on his carotid artery.

After confirming that this person's heartbeat and breathing were still there and very normal, Gao De felt slightly relieved.

It seems he just temporarily lost consciousness and fainted.

But rolling down all the way, I don't know if he suffered other internal injuries, I'll check later.

"Doesn't look like a novice rookie, how come he doesn't even know the common sense that he should avoid the wind on a windy day," Gao De muttered in a low voice.

And I don't know whether to say he is unlucky or lucky.

Being blown down by the strong wind is unlucky enough.

But being able to land so accurately on his tent, more or less counts as having some luck on his body.

Otherwise, rolling down all the way like this, it might not be as simple as losing consciousness.

Gao De first roughly checked the guy's injuries, and found that there were no obvious external injuries.

It seems this guy cast protective spells on himself when the accident happened, or had some automatically triggered protective supernatural objects.

Otherwise, rolling down like this, there's no way he wouldn't have external injuries.

But this is also good, otherwise, with the conditions at hand, if the other party was really injured, he wouldn't be able to make any effective rescue.

The strong wind outside was still howling.

Or maybe it can't be called outside, because the roof is gone, and now it has become an open-air tent.

Gao De gently turned the handsome youth's head to one side, confirmed that there was no snow blocking his mouth and nose, and there was no risk of suffocation for the time being, then moved the youth to his sleeping bag.

This is to avoid him coming into direct contact with the icy snowfield in a coma state, causing body temperature loss.

Fuluola stared with bright eyes, watching Gao De do all this earnestly.

"Is Fuluola-my lord very studious?" Gao De also noticed this scene.

"If the magic user is blown away by the strong wind in the future, Fuluola-my lord can save you like this," Fuluola said with a serious face.

Gao De couldn't laugh or cry, "Fuluola-my lord has a heart."

He originally wanted to feed the youth some hot water.

But now the weather is bad, can't find fuel, even if there is fuel, starting a fire will go out immediately.

Helplessly, Gao De had to feed the youth some cold water.

Next is to wait for the wind to stop and the youth to wake up.

Two people, one big and one small, in the roofless tent, fell into dry waiting.

After another hour or so, snow began to fall.

"It seems to be starting to snow, magic user."

"Yes."

"But we don't have a roof."

"Fuluola-my lord is not afraid of the cold, right."

"But the magic user will be afraid."

"..."

"Why did you stop talking, magic user?"

"I'm thinking, Fuluola-my lord truly has a wise heart."

"What do you mean?"

"Fuluola-my lord is very smart."

"Of course."

Snow mountain, strong wind.

People are as tiny as a millet in front of the power of nature.

If it weren't for Fuluola's company, this journey would have been truly much lonelier.

When the wind sound gradually became smaller, Gao De, who was busy cleaning the snow in the roofless tent, suddenly heard a somewhat strange but somewhat familiar weak voice.

"Where... is this?"

Gao De didn't stop the work in his hands, and answered without looking back, "In my tent."

"Tent...?" The youth looked at the unobstructed sky in a daze.

"It's not your credit, you still have the nerve to say," Gao De was speechless.

Subsequently, he turned around and saw the other party's face was still a bit pale.

"You finally woke up, how do you feel now?" he asked.

"Still okay," Du Wei supported his body with his hands and climbed up with difficulty.

His eyes were very calm, not at all like the eyes that a person who had just encountered a disaster should have.

This kind of calm is different from other calmness.

Calm can be a sea without waves, deep.

Calm can also be a pool of stagnant water, without vitality.

But the other party's calm is more like an iceberg, looking calm and composed, but actually very scary.

Du Wei never thought that when he woke up from a coma, the first person he saw would be that novice rookie.

To be honest, he didn't want to deal with Gao De again at all.

If it weren't for competing with this "novice rookie" he initially thought was the case, to leave Gao De far behind, he wouldn't have chosen to continue climbing upward knowing that strong wind weather was coming.

The result was that leaving this camping spot, he couldn't find a second suitable sheltered camping spot for nearly two hours of travel upward.

Then, the strong wind came.

Helplessly, he had to choose a not-so-good sheltered point to camp temporarily.

Then, he was very unlucky to encounter a small avalanche.

And the "culprit" was the Gao De in front of him... Du Wei naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with Gao De, all due to his own untimely restraint and pride, but it didn't prevent him from feeling some annoyed emotions in his heart.

Especially when he found that he was still saved by Gao De, his mood became even more complicated.

Someone saved him, and he was still annoyed at him, what is this? The education he received and the principles he believed in made Du Wei clearly understand that his current emotions were wrong, but he couldn't avoid producing such emotions.

This contradiction made the annoyance in his heart even worse.

Of course, this worse annoyance was directed at himself.

"Looking at you, you don't look like a novice rookie, how come you don't know that you should find a place to avoid the wind in this kind of weather? Fortunately, you were lucky enough to land on my tent, otherwise, you would have suffered."

Du Wei's face sank slightly.

With his status, being lectured like this was a fresh experience he had never had before.

What was even harder to bear was that Gao De lectured him on the truth he clearly understood, so he couldn't refute it either.

Unless he had the nerve to say it was because of the other party that he temporarily lost his mind.

"I know," Du Wei replied sullenly.

"You are not sincere," Fuluola looked at Du Wei and said, she saw that Du Wei's answer was unwilling.

Du Wei was slightly surprised in his heart, only then noticing that there was actually a little person at the scene.

Although he was a bit curious about Fuluola, Du Wei had seen too many rare things in his life.

So he understood that there are many unknown things in this world, and it is impossible to have seen them all, much less possess them all.

"Fuluola-my lord," Gao De called out.

"Fuluola-my lord has a wise heart," Fuluola said firmly.

"Then be more sincere," Gao De looked at Du Wei.

Du Wei's face stiffened, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still spoke again solemnly: "I know."

Fuluola nodded with satisfaction.

Gao De shook his head helplessly, and at the same time stood up, took out the water bag he was carrying, and handed it to Du Wei.

"You drink some water first, when the wind is smaller, I'll find some fuel and start a fire to cook you some hot food."

Du Wei looked at the water bag Gao De handed over, and suddenly, he was a bit lost in thought. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten food and water given by an outsider.

Because those who wanted to harm him would have a thousand ways to poison the food.

Even if he was careful again, he couldn't prevent all the poisoning methods.

And there were too many such people.

So, the best way is to refuse all food from outsiders.

He looked at the water bag in Gao De's hand in silence, smacked his lips, and suddenly found it a bit moist, and then realized later that when he was in a coma, the other party should have fed him water.

Just like the last straw that broke the camel's back, a flash of determination that didn't fit the situation flashed in Du Wei's calm eyes, he raised his head and drank the water in the water bag glug-glug.

After a while, Du Wei's spirit was clearly much better.

Gao De saw his state improve and relaxed a bit.

"We've known each other for a while, I haven't asked your name yet," Gao De reached out a hand sincerely, and then said earnestly: "My name is Gao De."

Looking at the hand Gao De reached out, Du Wei hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said slowly: "Du Wei."

After blowing a strong wind for a whole day, it finally stopped gradually.

Gao De cast 【Druid Trick】 again, the tornado representing the strong wind had turned into a golden ball representing a sign of clear skies.

Luck was not bad... In Dandong Snow Peak, continuous strong wind weather for one or two weeks was not impossible.

"I'm going out to find some firewood," Gao De said.

"No need to be so troublesome," Du Wei, who had returned to his familiar "paralyzed face" expression, stopped Gao De.

In Gao De's inquiring gaze, a bright flame appeared in Du Wei's palm, then flew out, circled and danced in the air, and finally fell slowly to the ground, turning into a pile of fiercely burning bonfire.

A fire-starting spell, certainly not exceeding the 3rd-circle, but Gao De, who had taken the "General Spell Recognition" course, had never heard of such a spell.

Clearly, this is a rare spell.

Creating a bonfire out of thin air, it is truly practical.

Gao De couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

With a bonfire, Gao De took the opportunity to set up the pot and put the remaining beef into it to stew.

"Eat some meat, it helps with physical recovery," he said to Du Wei.

Du Wei nodded, not saying a word.

Gao De actually admired him a bit in his heart.

Falling from the mountain, even losing consciousness, to say he was unscathed was naturally impossible.

But Du Wei didn't groan a single sound from beginning to end, showing he was still very tough.

Gao De focused on the beef in the small pot.

Although conditions were limited now, the agricultural nation's solemnity toward food still made him carefully grasp the heat, trying his best to make this pot of clear beef soup more palatable.

And while he was concentrating on cooking, Du Wei had already silently looked Gao De over with sharp eyes.

Including Gao De's age, height, clothing, and the luggage he was carrying, not a single thing escaped his eyes.

Du Wei even noticed that although Gao De didn't have much defense against him from beginning to end, he was always subconsciously protecting the package beside him.

Clearly, there was something he valued extremely or was precious hidden in that package.

Du Wei didn't have the mind to explore what was hidden in that package.

One is that Gao De had a life-saving grace to him, if he still violated his privacy, this would violate the principles he believed in.

The second is that for Du Wei, there were actually not many things in the world that could be called "precious."

After examining Gao De, the last bit of vigilance in Du Wei's heart finally disappeared.

On this side, Gao De had already cooked the beef soup and brought it to Du Wei.

Du Wei didn't pick or be polite either.

After a bowl of hot soup, eating a few pieces of fresh tender beef, and resting for a while, his spirit and state clearly improved by a large margin.

He leaned against the dilapidated tent somewhat leisurely.

Du Wei knew he owed Gao De a favor.

And, he also saw something he had almost never seen before in Gao De's eyes... sincerity.

Sincerity that didn't mix with any purpose.

This was a rare thing for Du Wei.

Gao De also keenly sensed that in addition to calmness, there was more gentleness in the other party's gaze.

But this kind of gentleness was not warm, but carried a sense of looking down from a high position.

This made Gao De not very used to it.

He was not dull, and had long seen from the other party's behavior of being able to give away a 1st-circle spell formula at will and the posture in his manners that Du Wei must be from a wealthy background.

But this didn't have much to do with Gao De.

Although he was indeed quite short of money and loved money, he was used to earning it himself.

What's more, Gao De's mind was now entirely on planting trees.

Although he was anxious to set off, since he had saved the person, Gao De naturally had no way to leave Du Wei, who had just regained consciousness, alone.

Based on the principle of sending the Buddha to the west, Gao De decided to stay at this sheltered slope for two more days until Du Wei completely recovered.

Just consider it a halftime break—Gao De thought this way.

After half a day, Du Wei reacted later that Gao De chose to continue staying because of him.

—For his past life experience, people around him revolving around him was a very normal thing.

After reacting, he spoke slowly: "Thank you... I can take care of myself, you don't need to delay time because of me."

Gao De raised his eyebrows and said casually: "It's okay, I'm not in a particular hurry anyway."

After another moment of silence, Du Wei took the initiative to ask: "This is your first time challenging a snow mountain, right?"

Gao De nodded.

"I have my own reasons for climbing Dandong Snow Peak, what about you? Is it just to challenge yourself?" he asked again.

"That's not it, it's just passing through because I'm on my way."

Passing through... Du Wei's voice paused for a moment again.

This Dandong Snow Peak, which was regarded as a "Eight Glories" challenge in the Li Site family, had fallen into the so-called "passing through" in the other party's tone.

It was as if Dandong Snow Peak was not the highest peak on the continent, but some small hill.

This made Du Wei somewhat unacceptable emotionally.

He was silent for a while before suppressing his emotions and asking again: "On your way?"

"I'm preparing to enter the northern realm," Gao De shrugged.

"Northern realm?" Du Wei furrowed his brows, clearly unable to understand why Gao De wanted to go to that extremely cold place.

Then, he suddenly discovered another detail he had been ignoring.

"You haven't mastered 【Endure Environment】 yet, have you?" he asked.

Because Du Wei found that there was no magic fluctuation on Gao De's body, which meant that he was not casting any spells on himself at the moment.

"Learned it, just not using it for the time being," Gao De answered.

"For the time being... not using it," Du Wei's eyes twitched.

He looked at the clothes on Gao De's body, clearly not any supernatural items, allowing Gao De to be calm and composed in the current climate of nearly minus fifty degrees.

"You are really thick-skinned," Du Wei praised.

Not sarcasm, but sincere praise.

No wonder such a clear novice, he had always been unable to shake him off.

It turned out to be gifted.

With his knowledge, he naturally understood that at this temperature, it was not a physical problem that could be summarized in one word.

The reason why the other party could endure so much was likely because of "expertise."

The talent Du Wei thought of also referred to expertise.
