Chapter 377 Battle Against the Masked Woman in the Mist
"Understood, Master!" Upon hearing the order, a girl outside flashed away and headed outside.
When she emerged from the mound, she found that the outside world was not covered in snow, but rather a gentle spring breeze and a vibrant, thriving landscape.
Rivers meander through the landscape, fertile fields intertwine, and trees and foliage flourish—it hardly resembles the summit of a snow-capped mountain.
But as you descend from the mountaintop, not far away, there is a thick fog, so thick that you can't see your hand in front of your face.
But these mists seemed to have no effect on the girl at all.
She moved skillfully between them.
Chu Chen followed the direction of the compass and walked forward. Before he knew it, he had entered the depths of the fog.
Just as he was wondering about this fog, which seemed to have no end and he couldn't get out no matter what,
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering the sacred mountain. Leave immediately!"
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stopped and looked warily at the woman whose face was veiled.
"Young lady, are you from up here?"
Because Chu Chen was wearing a hood, the girl couldn't see his face clearly.
So he replied, "What you shouldn't know, you don't need to understand. Go, go back to where you came from."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "With my temper, you can't understand me even when I explain things properly, can you?"
His tone then hardened: "I'm not leaving, what are you going to do about it?"
"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the emperor. Do you intend to establish your own country?"
After hearing this, the girl looked at Chu Chen as if he were an idiot.
Then he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, ignorant! You say the whole world belongs to the emperor? If you're so capable, come up here!"
Chu Chen's temper flared up instantly, and he immediately pulled out a tetanus blade from behind him.
"Hmph, today, I'll break through your so-called rules. How dare a little girl who hasn't even grown a beard stop me?"
After saying that, he charged forward with the Tetanus Blade in hand.
Seeing this, the girl remained calm and dodged Chu Chen's attack with a slight movement. Then, she casually kicked Chu Chen in the buttocks.
Chu Chen lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled out a Glock from behind him and fired a burst of bullets at the girl.
Upon seeing this, the girl frowned and swiftly dodged to the side.
However, an incredulous expression appeared on his face.
"Hmph, that's all the strength you have. You barely managed to fight me to a draw with the help of external tools. You're really not that great. If you want to go into the mountains, you should train for a few more decades before coming back."
In fact, she had already guessed Chu Chen's identity the moment he took out his Glock and fired it.
"You've only seen a small part of the iceberg of what a babbling brood girl has been like."
Chu Chen looked at the girl in front of him and said fiercely.
I thought to myself, if I wasn't afraid of an avalanche, I would have fired a shot at you from above.
"Try saying I'm not fully grown again, you lecherous scoundrel, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"Hmph, you lecher, you're just like that lecher. You talk tough when you meet someone similar to yourself, but you cower when you meet someone stronger."
“Go away, this is not a place for you. Otherwise you’ll just throw your life away for nothing. Listen carefully, go back and tell that other lecher that I will seek revenge on him one day.”
After saying that, the girl vanished into the mist in a flash.
This sudden change in attitude caught Chu Chen off guard, leaving him standing there blankly, pondering her words.
Another lecher, and he recognized himself as soon as he took out the Glock.
After a moment's recollection, Chu Chen understood the girl's identity.
Isn't this Zhou Shixun's daughter, the fourth young lady who used to be by Chi Yanfei's side?
It seems I came to the right place. Sure enough, this is the legendary "snow mountain," the mysterious place those people talked about.
Chu Chen was unwilling to give up. He breathed a slight sigh of relief and picked up the compass again.
Following the direction he had set beforehand, he once again walked forward.
Little did he know, the young lady from earlier had not left, but was watching him with a smile from behind the fog.
"Sigh, he's not only a lecher, but he's also not very bright. It would be a miracle if he even made it to the top of the mountain in this direction."
Chu Chen trekked along, and as he walked, he realized that he was actually descending a mountain.
He wondered what was going on. Could it be that there was a magnetic field on it that could interfere with the compass?
In fact, Chu Chen was wrong. He was wrong from the very beginning. The summit of the snow mountain had always been shrouded in mist.
Just because a direction is set at the foot of a mountain doesn't mean it must be the direction at the top.
After all, the summit of this mountain has never been seen by anyone, and its direction is also unknown.
So Chu Chen looked at the compass in his hand that didn't contain any true energy, and muttered a curse under his breath.
He turned and headed in another direction, taking out some odds and ends from his storage space to mark his path.
But after walking for a long time and trying many routes, they ultimately returned empty-handed.
At this moment, Chu Chen heard the girl's words again: "Cultivate for a few more decades and then come back."
I thought to myself, am I really not strong enough? Looks like I need to drink more water when I get back.
But then he came up with another idea, and he pulled out a drone with a flick of his wrist.
As the drone took off, Chu Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement.
But after the drone kept swaying upwards and flew for a long time, all that could be seen on the screen was a hazy mist.
Chu Chen then shook his head and retrieved the drone.
The wind and snow were too heavy, so they couldn't fly very high at all. Moreover, with such a long distance, relying solely on the signal connection between the machines, they could easily lose contact. After all, there are no satellites in this world.
"Perhaps, only by accumulating more jade essence and completely expanding the space, and once the helicopter appears, will we be able to explore the truth using external tools."
After all, with his current strength, he couldn't even beat a little girl. Who knew there might be other powerful figures inside?
On the way back, Chu Chen pondered the situation while also feeling an urgent need to improve his strength.
Having lived in this world for so many years, and finally finding a goal to challenge myself with, I cannot give up easily.
Since that's the case, let's put that aside for now and secretly improve our strength; that's the best approach.
The people down the mountain also found their purpose at this moment.
Chu Chen didn't believe that the people on the snow mountain would never come down, so having Gu Dabiao and his group act as informants here was better than nothing.
As for the legendary snow-capped mountain peak, I'm not strong enough right now, so I'll put it aside for now and focus on developing my strength cautiously.
After all, life is the most important thing. As for the rest, if you have the ability, you can try to get it; if you don't, you shouldn't even try.
Having figured out the plan, Chu Chen felt surprisingly relaxed.
Chu Chen descended the mountain at a rapid pace, arriving outside the cave two days later.
As Chu Chen descended the mountain, on a small hill at the summit, after listening to Xiao Si's report...
The man chuckled leisurely: "This person is quite interesting. Little Si, you've also made some progress in your studies. In a while, why don't you go down there for some experience and check if that other lecherous fellow is dead? If he's not, then give him a good slap across the face."
