The snow wolf flipped over in midair, narrowly avoiding the sword and landing a few feet away from the guards.
The eight snow wolves spread out and surrounded the five people in a semicircle.
Bai Zhi retreated two steps, and Xiao Qing and Hu Lichangtian also retreated two steps. The faces of the three people were not good, and they were very panicked.
Strangely, when they retreated, the snow wolves didn’t move forward, but bared their teeth and howled a few times before shrinking back, surrounding the lone guard in a circle.
Bai Zhi looked at her feet. There was no snow under her feet, and no snowflakes flying in the sky. However, the place a few steps ago was still covered with white snow.
So, was this the dividing line between the human world and Forgotten Valley?
The reason why the snow wolves chose to pounce at this moment was because they were afraid that the prey would enter a place they could not enter and lose the prey.
At this time, they had lost most of their prey and only trapped one person.
Bai Zhi shouted: “Don’t fight with them, use light skills to rush over, they don’t dare to come here.”
The guard had already used six swords in a row but only scratched a snow wolf. He was anxious, and when he heard Bai Zhi’s shout, he immediately rushed over to their side.
As Bai Zhi expected, the snow wolves stopped on the snow and didn’t dare to set foot on their side.
The fierce wolf’s eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. They wanted to pounce on them and tear them to pieces, but they didn’t dare to cross the line in front of them. They just watched the prey move away step by step.
“It seems that this Forgotten Valley is dangerous. Even these snow wolves dare not cross the line.” Xiao Qing looked back at the snow wolves squatting in a row in the distance, staring at them, and didn’t dare to move forward.
Hu Lichangtian stopped, took off the bag on his back, and took out a brown bottle and a stack of towels.
He poured the dark red liquid in the bottle onto the towels, handed each person a piece, and then said: “This is the potion I made with the remaining ice cicadas from that year. With this, we can temporarily avoid being bewitched by the Huanxiang. We only have 3 hours. After 3 hours, the effect of this potion will disappear. By then, if we haven’t come out again, we will never come out.”
Bai Zhi wrapped the towel around her face and said to everyone: “After two and a half hours, no matter what the result is, we will come back here to meet up and never stay in the valley.”
Bai Zhi looked at Hu Lichangtian, who was holding the bottle: “Are there any left?”
Hu Lichangtian laughed and handed the bottle to her: “There’s only a little left, you can take it all, it can only be used once at most, it’s enough for one person, don’t force it.”
Bai Zhi nodded, put the bottle away carefully, and looked up at the sun in the sky. She said: “When the sun is at its highest, it will be almost two and a half hours. If we get separated in the valley, we will meet here at about the same time.”
Everyone covered themselves with towels and entered the valley together. This valley was very strange. There was grass and soil under their feet, and the wind was warm. They were sweating profusely after walking for a while, and could only take off their clothes while walking.
“What’s going on? The cold snow in Kunlun Mountain never melts all year round, why is it so hot in this valley?”
Hu Lichangtian said: “This valley has four seasons. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but the four seasons here are different from those outside, they are opposite.”
Is there such a strange place in the world? The snow in the fields never melts all year round, but in the center of the mountain range was a valley with distinct four seasons.
