After Han Xu ate the snake gall, his entire body began to heat up. He felt a warm current in his dantian that was heading straight for the top of his head. The strength was so strong that it felt very comfortable. The coldness in his body had also been dispelled, and his physical strength seemed to have recovered by 70 - 80%.
"Thank you, Brother Eagle!" Han Xu thought that it was the eagle that had caused him to change so much, so he naturally thanked him profusely.
However, before Han Xu could finish celebrating, a wave of dizziness caused him to suddenly fall to the ground. His head was filled with a roaring sound. Just like that, Han Xu fell asleep. However, in his daze, he seemed to hear the wind whistling past his ears and the soft feeling surrounding his body. He had not slept so comfortably for a long time.
Just as Han Xu was enjoying himself, his lower body trembled and he fell heavily to the ground. He woke up from the pain. Han Xu rubbed his eyes and looked around. He was already at the peak of the Snow Region, and his vision was wide. It was as if this place was connected to the sky, and the warmth of the sun made people feel infinitely warm and comfortable.
Han Xu stood up excitedly and saw the golden eagle resting on a tombstone, trimming its feathers. The tombstone was carved out of ice and snow. There was not a single word on it, but judging from the hardness and color of the ice, it should have been quite old.
"Is this the peak of the Snow Region?”
Han Xu asked the eagle in surprise, but the eagle ignored him. It flapped its wings and flew inside. Han Xu followed excitedly. He knew that he would soon be able to meet the person who could grant him freedom. He would be able to meet his mother very soon. Very soon, very soon…
The eagle kept flapping its wings and showed no signs of stopping. Han Xu quickly followed it to a thatched hut. There was nothing special about the peak of the Snow Region. It was just that the scenery was suddenly bright and the warmth of the sky made people fall in love at first sight. Thick snow could be seen everywhere, reflecting the bright sunlight and reflecting a beautiful luster.
Rather than saying that this thatched cottage was one, it was better to say that it was four rooms combined. The four thatched huts were placed side by side, looking like a whole. The thatched roof, the thatched door, the thatched window…everything was made of straw.
Just as Han Xu was still wondering why there was grass on the top of the mountain, a strange voice came from the cottage.
"You bastard, why did you come back so late?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the first door was suddenly pushed open. An old man with a dirty face walked out. When he saw the unfamiliar Han Xu, both of them were shocked.
"You, who are you?" The old man asked fiercely.
"Me! I'm Han Xu from the foot of the mountain. I wish to see the self-cultivator in charge of this place.”Han Xu bowed respectfully and begged.
"Eh, how can someone from the foot of the mountain come up the mountain? However, I don't think you have a profound cultivation. Since you're here, it's good fortune. Come in with me!”
Seeing that his wish could be fulfilled so easily, Han Xu naturally thanked him with a face full of joy and hurriedly followed. However, just as he reached the door, the old man suddenly flashed into the house and the thatched door closed. No matter how hard Han Xu knocked on the door, the old man ignored him. Instead, he let out a strange laugh in the room.
"Young man, stop shouting. You're making me deaf!”
The window of the second thatched cottage was quietly pushed open. An old woman with enchanting makeup stuck her head out and said. Han Xu sized up the old woman. Her gorgeous makeup did not match her age, and her terrifying smile made Han Xu break out in cold sweat.
"Old…old granny, are you a cultivator here?”Han Xu probed.
"Old! You actually called me old!" The old woman flew into a rage. Her eyes revealed a fierce light as she slammed the window and cursed in the room.
Han Xu had been snubbed twice, so he naturally did not dare to knock on the third and fourth rooms. He just waited quietly outside, waiting for the people inside to come out.
Han Xu did not know how long he had been waiting. The sunlight in the sky had dimmed significantly, and the food he had brought with him was already empty. He was so hungry that he was seeing stars. However, there was still no movement from the four thatched cottage doors. The room was also as quiet as a cicada in winter, which made Han Xu complain endlessly.
The golden eagle had flown away at some point, leaving Han Xu alone. As he waited, Han Xu fell asleep due to hunger and cold. When he woke up, it seemed to be the next day, but the four doors were still closed.
Han Xu finally lost his patience. He knew that if he couldn't find a self-cultivator soon, he would probably starve to death at the peak of the Snow Region. Therefore, he mustered up his courage and knocked on the door of the third room, hoping that the person he was looking for lived inside.
However, after Han Xu knocked for a long time, the thatched door did not budge. There was no movement in the room at all. Han Xu was extremely disappointed, but he still did not give up. He walked to the front of the fourth door and gathered his courage to knock on it. However, just as he raised his hand, the door suddenly shook open, sending Han Xu flying far away and crashing heavily onto the snow. Han Xu looked inside and saw a strong man with a livid face and a curly beard walking out.
"Why haven't you left yet? Do you want to die on the peak of the Snow Region?”The bearded man angrily rebuked.
"Uncle, please calm down. I didn't come here to disturb you. I just want to find the cultivators here and ask them to teach me how to leave Snow City!”Han Xu knelt down and begged,
The bearded man glanced at Han Xu, scratched his ashen face, and said frivolously,""The person you are looking for is already dead. You can leave the mountain now. Don't disturb us here!”
"Ah, he's dead!" When Han Xu heard that, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. What he had painstakingly found was actually in vain. Immediately, he felt as if his heart was empty and lifeless.
Seeing that Han Xu was still unwilling to leave, the bearded man angrily walked up to him. He lifted Han Xu, who was on the verge of collapse, with one hand and gently threw Han Xu far away. Han Xu only felt the wind whistling in his ears and could not exert any strength.
Just as Han Xu was about to fall down the mountain, a golden figure floated over and caught Han Xu firmly. Han Xu looked and saw that it was the eagle that had saved him. The eagle let out a long cry and carried Han Xu to the front of the thatched hut. It kept letting out a long cry at the bearded man, making him look suspicious.
"You bastard, why did you bring him back? Did you bring him up the first time?”
An ear-piercing voice came from the first door. Then, the old man with a dirty face ran to the side of the bearded man and began to curse the eagle.
At first, the eagle was not afraid of the muscular man. However, after seeing the skinny old man, it was so afraid that it did not dare to cry out again. It only hid beside Han Xu and let out a low cry that only Han Xu could hear. The old man saw that the eagle had quieted down, and a proud expression appeared on his face. He turned to the burly man beside him and said,"Fourth Bro, throw him down the mountain. He's been chattering here all day and making everyone feel uneasy!”
The bearded man nodded in agreement and slowly walked towards Han Xu. At this moment, Han Xu did not know what to do. However, just as the burly man was about to attack, the eagle poked out its golden head in time and pecked at his hand. The burly man was so shocked that he hurriedly retracted his outstretched hand.
"You beast, why are you so difficult to tame? You actually attacked Fourth Brother.”The old man roared angrily as he walked forward quickly.
This time, the eagle was not afraid of the old man. It spread its wings in front of Han Xu and protected him, shocking everyone. Even Han Xu was at a loss. He thanked her profusely,"Thank you, Brother Eagle. I didn't expect you to be so protective of me!”
At this awkward moment, the window of the second thatched cottage was also pushed open. The flirtatious old woman also poked her head out to watch the show and said sarcastically,"Yo big brother, isn't your spiritual bird very obedient? It has followed you for hundreds of years, and today it was actually tamed by a yellow-haired kid.”
Hearing the old woman's provocation, the old man's veins bulged even more, and an unknown anger burned in his heart. He pointed with his right hand, and a silver star the size of a cat's eye shot towards Han Xu. Although Han Xu had no mana, he could still feel the power of the starlight. It had probably surpassed the spiritual fire that Nangong Kun had cultivated for many years. If he was hit by the starlight, there would definitely be nothing left.
The eagle saw that the starlight was so aggressive that it did not care about escaping. Instead, it turned around and pecked at Han Xu's clothes. He unbuttoned his clothes and the cracked jade pendant floated out. The other three were shocked when they saw the jade pendant.
Before Han Xu knew what had happened, the old woman's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. She released a surge of Genuine Qi from her body, repelling the approaching starlight. Then, she turned around and observed the jade pendant on Han Xu's chest. A strange light shot out from her eyes, which seemed to be both happy and shocked. It was unpredictable.
"Young man, what is your name? Where did you get this jade pendant?" The old lady pulled Han Xu and asked. The other two people also surrounded him.
Han Xu was still in shock. After being asked this question, he stammered,"I, I am Han Xu. This jade pendant was originally a magic treasure given to me by my mother, but when I came here, the magic treasure lost its effectiveness and my cultivation disappeared…"
"Your mother! What's your mother's name?" The bearded man asked with his eyes wide open.
"Golden Bell!"
Han Xu observed the three of them. When he said Jin Ling's name, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes revealed a look of surprise. Han Xu didn't know what his mother had to do with them, but since his mother had sent him here, the two must be related.
"Seniors, my mother sent me here. Now that I have no cultivation, I want to find the cultivator who created this Snow Region City and meet up with my mother as soon as possible!”
The three strange men looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Only the old man who called himself Big Brother walked behind Han Xu. He pulled down Han Xu's coat with one hand and pressed his other hand against his vest. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he knelt on the ground. Seeing this, the old woman and the bearded man also knelt down, shocking Han Xu.
"Seniors, what are you doing? You're simply killing me!”As he spoke, Han Xu hurriedly helped the three of them up. However, just as Han Xu exerted his strength, he felt dizzy and fainted beside the bearded man.
