Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 272 Chapter 271: The Burning Snow Peak Mountain
"Tread, step, step..."

"How long is it to Xuefeng Mountain?"

Lin Beixuan looked back at the team following behind him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and held the map in front of him to check.

Next to him was Guan Shuo, carrying a bag on his shoulders.

"The geographical environment is now very different from what I remember, and I can't confirm how far it is. But based on the time it took me to walk, it shouldn't take long." Guan Shuo replied with a frown.

Lin Beixuan glanced at the sweat on the other person's forehead and raised his hand to wave.

"Let's take a rest here for a while!"

His voice was obviously not loud, but it could be heard from far away.

After hearing these words, the people from Xiahe Village who had just joined the team showed expressions of relief on their faces, sat down on the ground, and gasped for breath.

Compared to those aliens who have trained for a long time and already have excellent leg strength, a whole day's journey is nothing, but for the people from Xiahe Village who have just joined, it is a huge burden.

Even the strongest Guan Shuo couldn't hold on, let alone the others, who also included women and children.

In order to allow them to adapt slowly, Lin Beixuan kept slowing down his pace and taking many rests along the way.

After coming out of Kuhe, the team headed straight for Xuefeng Mountain.

After drinking the water and food he brought from the real world last night, everyone recovered a lot of strength and were in much better condition than before.

Although instant noodles are called junk food in the modern world, they are a real dimensionality reduction blow in the secular world.

This industrially produced spice oil package stimulates people's sense of smell and taste buds to a certain extent. After eating it last night, everyone still remembers it until now, even Shen Tingmiao, who was born in a wealthy family.

There were several big pots of instant noodles, and even the soup was drunk up by everyone.

There were also those sour and sweet candies and fragrant potato chips. These refugees who had been fleeing year after year had never eaten such delicious things. They all praised what they were eating as delicacies that only secular gods could eat.

Of course, their enjoyment last night also attracted a lot of hungry ghosts.

The aroma of the instant noodles was blown far away by the wind, and many hungry ghost minions with keen sense of smell came over after smelling the aroma. This just happened to provide the full and satisfied aliens with a way to digest their food.

With Lin Beixuan watching from the side, more than two hundred people formed a military formation to fight against the densely packed group of starving ghost minions.

After fighting for most of the night, the team cooperated more skillfully. Although it was the first time they faced enemies that outnumbered them, no one backed down and everyone was enthusiastic.

Lin Beixuan easily solved the food problem this time, giving everyone peace of mind.

Although many people were curious about where Lin Beixuan got those strange foods, no one dwelled on this matter for too long.

In their hearts, Lin Beixuan was like a miracle from beginning to end, whether it was from the beginning when he led them out of Wumeng Mountain or now.

It is like a torch that continuously emits light and heat, gathering those who are trapped in darkness around it.

After resting to recover their strength and eating some food and water, the group started on their journey again.

Lin Beixuan looked at the bags carried by everyone in the team and felt that it would be necessary to find some tools that could pull carts like horses in the future.

There were no problems along the way, and the group gradually approached Xuefeng Mountain.

But... this Xuefeng Mountain is a little different from what I imagined.

From the information we have learned, Xuefeng Mountain is high in terrain and was once a dense forest. Snow is accumulated on the top of the mountain all year round. Unlike the Kuhe area, which was originally dry and had little water, it is considered a relatively rich place.

However, the Xuefeng Mountain now looks extremely desolate. There is not a single tree along the entire mountain. As soon as you approach it, a gust of hot wind blows in your face.

Lin Beixuan frowned and looked intently, and found that the air in the upper part of the mountain was slightly distorted, as if there was a huge furnace boiling and burning at the foot of the mountain, and the earth's air scattered and turned into wisps of flames.

'Is this Snow Peak Mountain or Flame Mountain?'

Looking at this scene, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"General, if you want to climb over this mountain, I'm afraid it will cost you a lot."

Wu Huo walked up to Lin Beixuan with a serious expression. He also discovered the abnormality of Xuefeng Mountain.

Not to mention whether there will be other crises inside, the temperature alone is not something that ordinary people can endure.

They could already feel the stuffiness before they officially entered the Xuefeng Mountain. The temperature would only be higher once they got in. Without adequate preparation, people would quickly become dehydrated or even die.

Lin Beixuan knew that Wu Huo was reminding him, so he nodded and handed the map to him.

Wu Huo looked at the map handed to him, his expression froze, and then he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You take your men to go around Xuefeng Mountain, and I will go into the mountain alone to take a look. We will meet up at Shankou Village on the other side." Lin Beixuan said lightly, as if he was willing to risk his life for the greater good.

Shankou Village is a village that must be passed by when going around Xuefeng Mountain. It is located on the high ground on one side of the Luozhou Plain.

"..."

Wu Huo's face turned dark.

"Sure enough, once we got to a certain place, the general started to let himself go."

It was like this in the Kuhe River area before, and it is still like this now.

"General, this is not a good thing for you to do. You have abandoned us again."

"What do you mean by abandoning you? No, that's not the case. It's just that this Snow Peak Mountain is too dangerous. If you follow me in, I'm afraid few of you will come out alive."

"Then can't you just follow us and take a detour?" Wu Huo was a little depressed.

Lin Beixuan's palm brushed across the bag on his waist, feeling the unique temperature coming from it, and gave a bitter smile.

"There's something in there that I might need to go in and verify."

He had just discovered the changes in the bag, so he took out the glowing and hot thing inside, and it turned out to be a fragment of the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Tower.

The closer to Xuefeng Mountain, the hotter the fragment becomes, and one can even feel a sense of urgency from it.

This means that there is either another piece of the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda hidden in Xuefeng Mountain, or there is something that attracts it.

Although Lin Beixuan no longer wanted to fight for the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda, since the opportunity appeared before him, he did not intend to let it go easily.

Wu Huo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Tingmiao's sudden voice.

"Go with peace of mind. We will wait for you in Yamaguchi Village as agreed."

Shen Tingmiao walked forward expressionlessly and hit Wu Huo hard in the stomach with her elbow.

This elbow seemed light, but it was extremely powerful, and Wu Huo's face soon turned red.

Looking at this scene, Lin Beixuan's lips curled up into a smile.

"I'll be back soon."

After saying this, he no longer hesitated and strode directly towards Xuefeng Mountain.

Wu Huo looked at Lin Beixuan's back and asked in confusion, "Miss Shen, why did you let the general run around again? His injuries in Kuhedi haven't fully healed yet, and he's heading to Xuefeng Mountain alone. If he encounters danger, there won't be anyone to help him."

"How do you know the general is running around aimlessly? Now we are only dragging him down by his side. While he is away we should improve our strength as quickly as possible so that we can help the general in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wu Huo lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.

But he soon cheered up, and his big face showed an unprecedented seriousness.

"I understand!" Wu Huo stood up and waved his hand back: "Let's go, let's hurry to Shankou Village. We have enough food and water now, so everyone should double the amount of training from now on."

After hearing his words, no one in the team complained, but instead showed unprecedented enthusiasm. When they saw Lin Beixuan heading to Xuefeng Mountain alone, they naturally realized something.

They must follow the general's footsteps.

"Silly big guy!"

Shen Tingmiao glanced at Wu Huo and couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, the shrine that she had been holding in her arms suddenly vibrated slightly and gradually lit up.

Upon seeing this, Shen Tingmiao quickly ran to the side, crossed her legs and made some hand gestures. Not long after, a phantom condensed.

The Ninth Aunt, dressed in a silk skirt, slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Tingmiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look a lot more mature, and more like a grown-up girl." The Ninth Aunt smiled, her voice soft and melodious, still as pleasant as ever.

"Auntie, what happened in Anle County?"

Shen Tingmiao looked solemn. Ninth Aunt would not easily contact her through the spirit shrine unless something extremely important happened, which might even affect them.

"Girl, can't you take the initiative to communicate when you have nothing to do? You forgot about grandma after following your husband. It's really chilling."

The Ninth Aunt pretended to be angry, and her expression seemed to be somewhat sad, like a resentful woman in the boudoir.

However, Shen Tingmiao still had a cold face: "Auntie, stop joking."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's actually not a big deal." The smile of the Ninth Aunt gradually faded.

"The negotiations between Anle County and Zi Gu Shen have broken down. It may not be long before they send someone to settle accounts with us. However, according to the information I received, it should not be Mr. Wumu who will take action personally, so we can still hold on for a while."

"But... we still have to prepare for the worst. We plan to temporarily relocate some people from Anle County to the mountains to prevent many innocent people from dying in this turmoil."

"My father..."

"You know your father's stubborn temper. He is a stubborn person. He is unwilling to leave with ordinary people."

Ninth Aunt pondered for a moment and said, "I contacted you this time to tell you that Anle County is not peaceful anymore. If you can protect yourself, try not to come back in the future."

Shen Tingmiao frowned when she heard this and was interrupted by Aunt Jiu just as she was about to say something.

"Don't worry, we can still hold on for a while. Just stay with Mr. Lin."

"How's the situation over there?"

Shen Tingmiao told the other party what had happened during this period of time.

"So you have already arrived at Xuefeng Mountain. I remember there was a mountain god there. I wonder how he is doing now!"

"Grandma, do you know the mountain god here?"

"Of course I don't know him, but I've heard of him. He's considered a kind god among all the secular gods, but he has a bad temper."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin is different from us. He will be fine."

The two continued chatting for a while, and then the figure of Grandma Jiu gradually faded away, and the shrine returned to its original tranquility.

Shen Tingmiao stood up from the ground with a look of sadness that was hard to conceal on her face.

"I didn't expect that Zi Gu God would be unable to hold back so soon!"

In today's secular world, if the Zi Gu God wants to attack a county, no one can stop her attack.

Although the Zi Gu God would not intervene in such a small matter, it was actually only a matter of time before the thousands of evil spirits under his command took over Anle County.

What's more, Anle County is just a small city and does not have a very strong armed force.

"Hold on a little longer, I will definitely come back!" Shen Tingmiao clenched her teeth, with a determined look in her eyes.

……

……

the other side.

Lin Beixuan walked among the rugged rocks, but his steps did not pause at all, as if he was walking on flat ground.

However, when he officially stepped into Xuefeng Mountain, a prompt from the panel immediately came to his mind.

[You have entered a special area: Flame Mountain. ]

[The map of the fierce land is now open, and the information about the Flame Mountain will be gradually revealed as you explore. ]

[You have entered a special area: the altar of the god of sacrifice.]

[The illustration of the secular god temple is opened, and the temple-Xian Shen altar information is unlocked. 】

[Xian Shen Altar: The place where the Xuefeng Mountain God Xian Shen was born. He was deified and worshipped by the mountain people, and then the small folk god - Xian Shen was born. All kinds of mountain spirits and ghosts are attached to the mountains. The mountain people perform sacrifices, look at the mountains and rivers, and see the gods everywhere. 】

[Note: The altar of the God of the Gods has been changed due to special influences. Anyone who enters the dojo will fall into a state of continuous burning, and your recovery attribute will be weakened. ]

[Note: You are being watched by the mysterious little god, the God of Xun.]

[You encounter a special target: the small vulgar god - Xunshen. ]

[The common god illustration book is opened, and the unlocking of the information of the God of Xun fails. 】

[The status gap between you and the minor secular god - Xunshen is too great, and you cannot gain fate from him. 】

[Note: You are being watched by the God of Xun. Currently, the God of Xun is in an extremely weak state and cannot have any mental influence on you.]

……

A series of panel information floated by, and Lin Beixuan quickly captured the key information.

'The current God of Xun is in an extremely weak state.'

"Could it be that this secular god is about to die, just like the bitter river god we met before?"

"That Xuan Huang Hungry Ghost is really incredible. Could it be that he has beaten all the secular gods in Luozhou?"

With a surprised mood, Lin Beixuan touched the bag that was already a little hot and looked towards the depths of Xuefeng Mountain.

'What makes the fragments react is further inside.'

It is estimated that the Snow Peak Mountain was transformed into the dangerous place it is today due to the battle between the two secular gods.

To be honest, he really doesn't want to provoke these worldly gods anymore.

"Why not just turn back?"

Lin Beixuan was thinking in his mind when a message floated across the panel.

[You are being watched by the God of Xun, who is exerting a spiritual influence on you.]

Lin Beixuan's expression changed. Didn't they say that he was too weak to have any impact?

Then, an elegant and magnetic female voice came to his ears.

"Since you're already here, why would you leave? My friend... could you please come in and have a chat?"

　I'm not in good shape today. I'm a bit stuck. I'm distressed...
