Stealing the female lead's favor turns her from a heartthrob to a universally disliked figure.

The large black snake shook its body, raising all its scales, before answering Li Qingqing's question.

"Snakes aren't afraid of the cold. It's just that the colder the weather, the more restricted my movements become. If my cultivation level is low, I won't be able to resist hibernation. I'm fine for now."

Li Qingqing then realized that hibernation of snakes is common knowledge. She didn't expect that even with such a high level of cultivation, the big black snake would still be affected by the weather.

Sure enough, as they were talking, she could clearly feel the large black snake slowing down.

Of course, this slowness is not yet very obvious, so much so that the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion, the Island Master of Guiyin Island, and the Pavilion Master of Jueying Tower have not yet noticed it.

An hour later, the island master of Guiyin Island suddenly sneezed, clearly because the cold air had invaded his body.

"It's so cold today. It's only been an hour, but I feel like the temperature has dropped a lot."

As the island lord of Guiyin Island spoke, he pulled his clothes tighter and casually used a temperature-gathering array to stabilize the temperature around him.

At first, the Lord of Jueying Tower wanted to hold on and let his body adapt to the weather. However, after the Lord of Guiyin Island sneezed several times, he dared not be careless. He immediately used a special magical artifact to create a protective barrier around the area to isolate the cold air from the outside.

The Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion also placed a Yi Hai Sea Seal Bubble on the snake's back, trying to isolate it from the cold wind outside.

At first, this approach was effective, but as the black serpent slowed down again, they discovered that even with their magical artifacts and the surrounding Sea of ​​Intent sealing bubbles, the chilling aura still persisted.

Moreover, the chill intensified as they moved forward.

After two hours of perseverance, the island lord of Guiyin Island's teeth were chattering, and the lord of Jueying Tower was trembling.

The Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion was so cold that he didn't want to speak anymore; he just hoped to reduce the consumption of energy.

Li Qingqing also felt the increasingly oppressive chill, but apart from feeling a bit cold, she felt alright.

At least, their condition is much better than that of the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion and the others.

Another hour later, the black snake's speed decreased again. What was once a leisurely stroll through the Dark Tribulation Mountains had now turned into a slow crawl, and its speed was getting slower and slower.

Seeing this, Li Qingqing couldn't help but say, "If it really doesn't work, let's get off and walk!"

The giant black snake said, "If you come down here to walk, you probably won't be able to walk for more than fifteen minutes before you have to stop and rest. Judging from the weather, it looks like a blizzard is coming soon, so we need to get out of the Dark Tribulation Mountains as soon as possible."

"How much longer will it take us to get out of the Dark Tribulation Mountains?" Li Qingqing asked, looking ahead.

"We should be able to leave the Dark Calamity Mountains before dawn tomorrow. Although we're moving slowly now, we're safe. I need to get used to the weather here for a bit before we pick up speed again," the giant black snake explained.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Qingqing said politely.

Then, she took out a teacup from her own space and poured a cup of tea for the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion, the Pavilion Master of Jueying Tower, and the Island Master of Guiyin Island, and drank a cup herself.

With the hot tea to warm me up, the chill was somewhat dispelled.

When the body feels better, the mind becomes much more active.

As the Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion looked at the Dark Calamity Mountains, which were gradually being covered by white mist and frost, a sense of worry rose in his heart.

"The cold here seems to be more than just a cold temperature. It's hard to describe, and I have a bad feeling about it."

Ordinary cold wouldn't cause them, at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul realm, such discomfort.
