Chapter 576
Chapter 576 Reunion with the Fairy
The snow and ice collapsed in an instant, rolling down in waves with a piercing howl. It was as if a torrential deluge had been unleashed, roaring and tumbling, each wave of snow higher than the last, devouring everything in its path. The sudden avalanche left everyone's hearts pounding in terror.
A barely perceptible white figure darted through the snow like a flash of lightning, disappearing in an instant.
"Brother Lin (General Lin)—!" Seeing Lin Wanrong's silhouette swallowed by the snow wave, Gao Qiu and Hu Bugui all let out a roar, their courage shattered. With a collective cry, they charged into the rolling snow and ice.
The power of the avalanche was extraordinary. The waves of snow it unleashed covered the sky. What had once been gentle snowflakes transformed into razor-sharp projectiles, raining down incessantly, causing a stinging pain upon contact. The landslide triggered by the avalanche came wave after wave; countless slopes covered in snow and ice suddenly collapsed. The deafening sounds of collapse reverberated one after another, incessant.
In the pervasive blizzard, it was impossible to even open one's eyes, let alone attempt to climb against the wind. Hu Bugui and his companions slipped and fell multiple times. What amazed them even more was the seemingly delicate Turkic girl ahead. The howling northern wind whipped her raven hair as she clung to the icy ground, struggling to climb against the wind. The falling snow battered her head and face, but she stubbornly crawled out of the snow, moving forward step by step.
After an unknown amount of time, the thundering sounds gradually ceased, and the surging snow began to slow down. The falling snowflakes continued their descent, but with much less intensity. Yujia found herself buried in snow, resembling a snowman. With great effort, she lifted her head, revealing cheeks flushed red from the cold. Her eyes were misty. Shaking her head vigorously, the snowflakes in her hair cascaded down, landing on her face and hands, icy cold.
The peak of the Tianshan Mountains had been sliced off, and the thick accumulation of snow had vanished. Looking down from the peak, the slopes were uneven, dotted with towering piles of snow and sunken avalanches. Wisps of snow mist rose into the air, cloaking the sky in a blanket of white. The new snow mounds were dozens of meters high in places, while the collapsed ice pits seemed bottomless. Even without approaching, one could feel an intense chill.
After the avalanche, although the large snowflakes continued to fall relentlessly, there was complete silence within the mounds and pits of snow—no sounds or shouts to be heard.
