Chapter 2039: Do Not Try Lightly

~7 min read 1,207 words

"Thank you for understanding." Xueli smiled slightly, then straightened her body. She looked at Jinsang: "Must we stay here for the night? Can we not travel at night here?"

"We cannot. Many creatures appear at night, and these creatures are beasts placed on the Snow Plains by the Werewolf Clan," Jinsang said. "If we move at night, we might expose our tracks."

"Moreover, there are many things here that exceed your understanding, so we must pause here for the night, otherwise our plan will not be able to proceed."

"Alright, what exactly is inside the Snow Plains?" Xueli asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Beasts, Spirits," Jinsang said. "Things that wander between darkness and Hell will all emerge, so I think it is best not to risk trying."

"Understood." Xueli nodded: "Let's go in."

The group walked into the post station; one of the houses in this place was still well-preserved.

Jinsang was very familiar with this place; he built a fire and then sat in front of the fire pile.

"You haven't just been here once, have you?" Chen Yu looked at his manner; he was almost familiar with every blade of grass and tree here, not looking like someone who had come here for the first time.

"Of course not." Jinsang grinned and said: "Sometimes I miss my mother, so I come here often."

"Because I stay for a whole night, sometimes when I come, I prepare some dry firewood, water, and food. See, it's coming in handy now."

"You have been planning how to deal with the Wolf Clan for a long time, haven't you?" Chen Yu said: "I see weapons here, and traps too. You have gone to the Snow Plains more than once to set up a retreat for yourself."

"Yes, I have already braced myself with the determination to die." Jinsang smiled and said: "My lifespan is very long. I swear, in the time I have left, I will fight them to the death."

"You are a real man." Chen Yu could not help but nod slightly: "But you also know clearly that with your current strength, wanting to stand against the entire Werewolf Clan is no different from an egg hitting a rock."

"Of course I know there is no difference." Jinsang said: "But people living in this world must always have something that they must do."

"What I am doing now is what I feel I must do."

"Have you never considered the consequences?" Chen Yu asked.

"The worst consequence is death." Jinsang spread his hands and said: "When I thought about standing against them, I had already made the determination to die."

"I only learned today that a person's determination could actually be persistent to this extent; it really makes me feel incredible." Moli looked at Jinsang, her heart somewhat touched.

"If our Pope did not devote herself to internal strife and had the same determination as you, I think the hidden danger of the Werewolf Clan would have been eliminated long ago, right?"

"That probably wouldn't work." Jinsang said with a smile: "Because you are pure humans. As long as you are humans, there will definitely be internal strife; this is human nature."

"But I am different. I have no scruples; I can consider how to fight them to the death without counting the cost."

"I seem to understand why it is full of danger for us, but for you, these things are just like trivial, everyday matters." Xueli nodded slightly.

"This is normal." Chen Yu said: "He has no scruples, but the Pope is different. She cares about reputation and status. You cannot afford so many failures, understand?"

"What you say seems to be the case." Xueli smiled: "It seems that there are indeed many problems within our Pope's faction; we need to face these problems head-on."

"These things are not for you to worry about." Chen Yu looked at Xueli: "You only need to do your job as the Saintess; you really don't need to worry about other things."

"It is precisely because I am the Saintess that I want to do what I can." Xueli said very seriously.

"Stubborn." Chen Yu shook his head helplessly. Xueli was someone who would not turn back until she hit the south wall, but it didn't matter; let her be.

"Alright, we should rest. We still have to travel for a day tomorrow to reach another rest point before dark."

Jinsang lay down against a rock: "The temperature in this place is dozens of degrees below zero. Can you withstand it? I can transform slightly to resist the cold, what about you?"

"Extreme cold and extreme heat are not difficult for me." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "You only need to take care of yourself."

Xueli said nothing. She beckoned with her right hand, and a wisp of Holy Flame burned in her palm. Immediately after, this cluster of Holy Flame flowed over her entire body, and all the cold air was blocked outside by her.

Xueli closed her eyes and soon entered a state of Meditation.

Chen Yu also closed his eyes to rest his mind. At his level, he actually did not need to sleep deliberately.

It was just that closing his eyes to rest and refresh his spirit was still fine.

After all, this time, he was facing an entire Werewolf Clan. If he were the slightest bit careless, it was very likely he would be doomed forever.

Although he had absolute certainty, a lion hunting a rabbit still uses its full strength; Chen Yu could not underestimate the enemy.

At dawn, Chen Yu suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up abruptly and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Xueli and Jinsang stood up almost at the same time, because the aura radiating from Chen Yu was too powerful, almost making them unable to breathe.

Chen Yu said nothing. Suddenly, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the scene.

"Chen Yu?" Xueli was startled. Chen Yu's flash disappeared directly from her Mind Power. She did not know how far he had moved; he had left with all his might.

With a flash, Chen Yu had already appeared on a Snow Mountain. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "Ye Xinyu, is it you?"

All around there was only the vast white snow and the sound of falling snowflakes. Apart from that, there was almost no response at all.

Chen Yu clenched his fists tightly. His Divine Sense gathered in all directions, but in his consciousness, there was nothing.

In his consciousness, he clearly felt Ye Xinyu's aura, and he had clearly sensed Ye Xinyu's position, but when he rushed over rapidly, he did not even see a shadow of a person here.

"Ye Xinyu? Are you hiding from me?" Chen Yu roared: "How long are you going to hide? You are evading this."

The voice traveled far away, echoing on the empty snowfield, but the surroundings remained quiet, without a sound.

Chen Yu's Divine Sense scattered to the limit, but he did not receive any response, which made him quite frustrated.

Could it be that he had sensed it wrong just now?

That was impossible. Having lived with her for so long, he could not have sensed it wrong.
