Chapter 284

Ten-thousand-meter snow peak, biting cold wind, bone-chilling cold.

A ray of heavenly light pierced through the gray sky, draping a golden coat over the mountain ridge.

"Huff, huff..."

On the mountain ridge, Zhang Xingyu was crawling upward using both hands and feet.

His steps were heavy, his body stiff, and his physical strength was exhausted.

Golden beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, freezing into pearls before they even hit the ground.

On his back, the little girl Alice's body was stiff, and her breath was weak.

Despite the protection of the spiritual power shield, she was still attacked by the cold.

The little girl's face was flushed red from the cold, and her hands and feet were cold, but she gritted her teeth and didn't tell Zhang Xingyu.

"Alice, are you okay?"

"Big, brother, I, I'm fine."

Alice's situation was likely not good.

But Zhang Xingyu didn't dare to stop here.

This was the gale layer, the most dangerous part of the journey to the peak.

Every minute he stayed here, the damage to Alice increased by one point.

"I must bring her to the peak alive." Zhang Xingyu said to himself secretly in his heart.

Last night, Alice looked at Zhang Xingyu with her watery big eyes.

"Big brother, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I want to save my grandma."

"Silly child. Big brother is here. Big brother is going to the top of the mountain, big brother will help you light the divine fire in the divine temple."

"I want to go up myself, I want to go light the divine fire myself. I want to save my grandma myself."

"No. It's very cold on the mountain, you will freeze to death."

"Big brother, please, please..."

Zhang Xingyu really wanted to slap himself.

Knowing she would be hurt, knowing she might die, why did he agree?

The gale became more and more violent, and the spiritual power shield made a harsh cracking sound.

Zhang Xingyu was frantically operating the Creation Technique.

God Yuan was continuously converted into spiritual power, and spiritual power quickly repaired the cracked shield.

At all costs, at all costs, hold on! Hold on through this most dangerous moment.

One step, two steps, one meter, two meters...

The gale scraped his bones, but he walked against the wind.

I don't know how long it took, but his eyes suddenly brightened.

"We're out. Alice, we're out of the gale layer."

"Alice, Alice..."

"Alice, wake up, wake up..."

"Big, brother, we, are we there?"

"Thank heavens, you're still alive. Alice, do you see it? That is the top of the mountain. Do you see that white house? That house is the Love God's temple."

"Mm. Big brother, I see it. Big brother, I'm so sleepy..."

"You'll be fine. I will bring you to the peak alive. I will let you light the divine fire yourself."

Zhang Xingyu dissolved a spiritual pill and dripped it gently into Alice's mouth.

His fingertips danced, and beautiful phoenixes flew around Alice non-stop.

Beside him, the Old Demon He Teyao shook his head gently: "Kid, it's useless, don't waste your effort. She has cold in her bones, and it's beyond help. Even if a Demon God were here, he couldn't save her."

"No, I promised her, I would bring her to the peak, I would let her light the divine fire herself."

"Sigh..." He Teyao sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

Beside him, Demon King Harry put away the bronze mirror and took out a jade bottle shining with seven-colored light from his magic ring.

"This is a drop of life potion, maybe it can let her reach the peak alive."

Out of the gale layer, the peak of the Divine Peak could be seen from afar.

There was no ice or snow on the peak, only a white divine temple standing there, like a fairy standing alone in the wind.

At this moment, Zhang Xingyu thought of Tang Yunxi, thought of her standing alone in the wind.

Tang Yunxi, are you okay?

At the same time, millions of miles away, at the peak of the Immortal Mountain.

Tang Yunxi looked quietly at the brilliant clouds in the sky.

In her hand, she held a white jade bead.

Void-Escaping Bead.

In the past, this Void-Escaping Bead always lay in the corner of her storage ring.

But now, it was often held in its owner's palm.

Tang Yunxi's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up quietly.

In her ears, a voice always echoed.

"Fairy Yunxi, I like you!"

Zhang Xingyu carried Alice into the divine temple.

Inside the divine temple lay scattered incomplete stone statues.

In the center of the divine temple was built a golden divine altar.

In the center of the divine altar was placed a Love God statue.

The statue's face was blurry, and one arm was incomplete.

In front of the divine altar stood a golden divine lamp.

The divine lamp had no wick, and the divine oil in the lamp had long since dried up.

Zhang Xingyu placed Alice gently in front of the divine lamp.

"Alice, Alice, we're here."

Alice opened her eyes slowly.

"Big brother, are we there?"

"We're here. We're here."

Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Alice's face.

"I want to light the divine lamp, I want to save my grandma."

She struggled to sit up.

Zhang Xingyu hurriedly helped her up.

However, the next moment, when he saw the divine lamp in front of him clearly, his heart sank to the bottom.

No wick, no divine oil.

How can this lamp be lit?

He looked down at Alice.

Alice was also looking at him.

"Big brother, this lamp needs a wick and divine oil."

Looking at the dense mass of flying dragons in front of him, looking at the hissing and roaring flying dragons, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu turned his head to look at He Teyao.

"Alex, do you have a wick and divine oil?"

He Teyao was staring blankly at the divine lamp.

He looked dejected, his face ashen.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu's inquiry, he answered angrily: "Legend has it that the wick of the divine lamp is tanned from the Demon God's divine tendons; the divine oil of the divine lamp is refined from the Demon God's divine body. Divine tendons, divine body, these are not things that can be found in this world."

Speaking of this, his expression turned into madness, and his voice turned into a roar, "Haha, haha, unexpectedly, I finally arrived here, but I lack these two key things. My holy fire, my Demon God."

Looking at the Old Demon who was about to go crazy, Zhang Xingyu turned his gaze to Demon King Harry.

Harry's expression was gloomy, and the bronze mirror in his hand had been crushed by him.

It seemed that neither of these two guys had a way.

Zhang Xingyu felt low.

Without a wick and divine oil, all the hardships of this journey, all the efforts, were in vain.

Without a wick and divine oil, his promise to Alice could not be fulfilled.

Looking at the little girl's eyes full of anticipation, Zhang Xingyu couldn't speak for a long time.

"Big brother, big brother..."

Alice's face was pale, and she could no longer say a complete sentence.

"Alice, I'm sorry. Big brother can't fulfill his promise to you. This divine lamp lacks a wick and divine oil."

Zhang Xingyu said to Alice with guilt.

"Big, big brother, we, we have a lamp..."

Alice's breath was weak.

Zhang Xingyu was stunned.

A moment later, he lowered his head and took out a broken oil lamp from Alice's bundle.

He understood Alice's meaning.

However, how could this mortal oil lamp be compared with the divine lamp.

And how could the wick and oil in this lamp be used to light the divine fire.

"Big, big brother, light, light the divine lamp, save my grandma. I beg you."

After saying this sentence, Alice closed her eyes forever and had no more breath.

Tears slid silently from the corners of Zhang Xingyu's eyes.

He poured out the lamp oil silently and set up the wick.

A golden flame flew out from his brow and landed instantly on the divine lamp.

The next moment, the divine lamp lit up.
