Chapter 137 Worry, why hasn't Aniliya come back yet?
"Moreover, there is a very powerful snow demon on the top of Shenlong Snow Mountain. Its strength must be as strong as level six. Even if we go up the mountain to collect herbs, we dare not go to the top of the mountain. We can only move around on the mountainside."

Listening to Yan Lielie's words, Annelia frowned. According to Yan Linger, the sixth-level monster Yan Lielie mentioned should be an A-level ferocious beast.

It is indeed not easy to go to the top of the mountain to seize the snow lotus under the protection of an A-level ferocious beast.

However, for Xu Shisan, Annelia wanted to give it a try.

So, Aniliya asked, "Grandpa Patriarch, where exactly is the snow lotus you mentioned?"

"I don't know exactly where it is, but the ancestors in my tribe told me that these snow lotuses all grow on cliffs, and there is only one cliff on the Shenlong Snow Mountain, so it must be on that cliff." Yan Lielie explained.

"Can you tell me where the Shenlong Snow Mountain is? And how to get to the top of the mountain? I want to give it a try." Annelia continued to ask.

"Not now." Yan Lielie shook his head.

"why not?"

“This snow lotus will only be effective if you pick it and take it when it is in full bloom. If you take it before its flowers bloom or after they wither, it will have no effect at all. Moreover, this snow lotus only blooms once every three years, and each blooming period does not exceed seven days.” Yan Lielie explained.

"What? Do we have to wait here for three years?" Annelia's heart immediately fell to the bottom.

"You guys came at the right time. If I remember correctly, the snow lotus will bloom in seven days."

Hearing this, Annelia immediately turned from sadness to joy.

What a coincidence! I didn’t expect that they would catch up with me.

So, Aniliya immediately said, "Grandpa Chief, I want to go to the top of the mountain in seven days. Can you help me?"

Before Aniliya finished speaking, Yan Lielie said, "Miss Aniliya, there is a big monster guarding the top of this snowy mountain. The snow lotus grows on the cliffs and is very difficult to obtain. The strength of our people is limited and is not enough to compete with the snow monster."

"Grandpa Chief, that's not what I meant. I won't let your people take risks with me on such a dangerous journey. I want to go up alone. I just hope you can take me to the middle of the mountain first and point out a way to the top of the mountain."

"Oh, so that's the case. If that's the case, then we don't mind helping out a little. But before we go, I have to remind you that the top of the mountain is covered in snow and you can't walk there at all. There are also big monsters guarding it. You can't do it alone."

Yan Lielie didn't say anything else, but his meaning was very clear.

At this time, Yan Linger said: "Grandpa, let's help Sister Annie."

"Ling'er, it's not that we don't want to help them, it's that we really can't do anything. Even I can't climb to the top of the mountain."

"Ling'er, you don't have to say anything. I won't bother you with this matter."

"Okay, okay."

Yan Ling'er felt a little disappointed that she couldn't help Annelia.

She had no choice but to use barbecue to make up for it: "Sister Annie, Brother Thirteen, then come out with me to eat barbecue. When we come back, I will ask Dad to take you to the snow mountain."

"it is good."

Then, several people walked out of the house.

Most of the houses where the Haiqing people live are built with thatch and branches, and are scattered in rows.

There is a huge open space between the two rows of thatched houses, which is where the Haiqing people usually cook and eat.

As for what to eat, it’s also simple.

Most of them are meat foods, which are brought back by men in the tribe from hunting.

Most of the women were at home sewing clothes, or digging wild vegetables nearby. The tribe even started to cultivate the land and grow various wild vegetables.

Today, the men in the tribe hunted a lot of prey, and the women in the tribe started to make a fire and cook. They cooked several pots of meat soup, various barbecues, and wild vegetable soup.

The leftover meat would be smoked into bacon and stored for later consumption.

Many people gathered together, chatting and eating.

The contracted beasts signed by the tribal men are all at the entrance of the village to guard the tribe.

Most of these contracted ferocious beasts are E-level, there are also D-level and C-level, but there are only a few of B-level, which should be the contracted beasts of Yan Lie and Yan Dagong.

In fact, Xu Shisan was quite curious about how they could sign contracts with ferocious beasts and make them obey when there was no contract position in their sea of ​​consciousness and they could not summon them.

When he comes back, Xu Shisan will definitely ask about it.

Under Yan Linger's leadership, Xu Shisan and Aniliya gathered with Yan Linger's close tribesmen to eat.

These tribesmen were very kind to Xu Shisan and Annelia, and asked them many questions during the meal.

After a short period of getting along, Xu Shisan also fell in love with these people in the tribe.

They were warm and hospitable, with no hostility. Even Xu Shisan was not on guard. Everyone was very kind.

After dinner, Xu Shisan returned to the thatched hut that Yan Linger had specially prepared for him.

He also called Annelia over.

Inside the house, Xu Shisan said to Aniliya, "Annie, you'd better not go to that snowy mountain in a few days. It's too dangerous."

Xu Shisan also asked Yan Linger, the snow monster they were talking about should be an A-level ferocious beast.

With Annelia's strength, it would be very dangerous to reach the top of the mountain.

The key point is that he can't go with her, because Xu Shisan can't even summon now, and following Annelia would be a burden.

Xu Shisan didn't want Annelia to take any risks.

In response, Aniliya said, "It's okay. I know what's going on. If we can't restore your strength, the risk of us leaving the restricted area will be greater. I have a flying summoned beast, so it's not difficult for me to pick a snow lotus on the top of the mountain."

"But what if something happens?"

"What? Are you concerned about me?" Annelia looked at Xu Shisan with a smile.

"I guess so. After all, this matter is too risky." Xu Shisan said bluntly.

"What are you afraid of? We've already entered a restricted area of ​​600 to 700 kilometers. What's there to be afraid of with a snowy mountain?" Annelia snorted.

"Okay." Xu Shisan had no choice but to agree.

To be honest, Xu Shisan is really grateful to Annelia now.

If it weren't for her, Xu Shisan might have died long ago.

Now Annelia is taking such a big risk to go to the top of the mountain to pick snow lotus for me. I really don’t know how to thank this little girl.

In this way, Xu Shisan and Annelia stayed in the tribe for another seven days.

During these seven days, Xu Shisan tried every day to see if he could practice normally.

But the result is always the same: no.

Therefore, Xu Shisan could only place his hopes on the snow lotus.

During these seven days, Xu Shisan ate and lived with the tribesmen in the tribe, drank meat soup, ate barbecue, and slept in thatched huts, and he did not feel uncomfortable.

Soon, it was the day for Annelia to go up the snow-capped mountains to pick snow lotus.

Early in the morning, Yan Ling'er's father Yan Dagong and several strong tribesmen got up. They led Annelia to the towering snow-capped mountains dozens of kilometers away.

Xu Shisan also got up early in the morning to see Annelia off.

Looking at Annelia's departing back, Xu Shisan looked towards the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Although the snow-capped mountains are covered by the tall trees around them, you can still see the snow-white tops from a distance.

Xu Shisan prayed in his heart, hoping that everything would be fine for Annelia and that nothing would happen to her.

In this way, Xu Shisan stayed in the thatched hut waiting for Annelia to return.

At noon, Yan Ling'er's father Yan Dagong and his friends came back. They said that the weather was very good today and they successfully sent Aniliya to the halfway point of the snowy mountain and pointed out the location of the cliff. If everything went well, Aniliya would be back before dark.

And so, Xu Shisan continued to wait.

The waiting process is naturally very painful, and every minute and every second feels so slow.

In this way, Xu Shisan waited patiently until the evening.

In the end, Annelia still didn't come back.

This time, Xu Shisan couldn't wait any longer and was very worried.

According to Yan Dagong, if everything goes well, Annelia will usually be back before dark.

Besides, Annelia also has the bat-winged dragon snake. If she gets the snow lotus, she can fly back in less than an hour.

But it's almost evening, why hasn't she come back yet?

Worried, very worried.

Not only Xu Shisan was worried, Yan Linger was also very worried.

Members of the tribe such as Yan Lieyu and Yan Dagong were also very worried.

Xu Shisan couldn't help but find them and said to Yan Lielie, "Master Patriarch, I don't have any divine power in my sea of ​​​​divine power now. Can you let me take a few people to look for Annie?"

In response, Yan Lielie sighed and said, "Thirteen, don't worry. Miss Annie might be back soon."

"It's getting dark now. After dark, we won't be able to find it even if we want to."

"But."

Xu Shisan didn't know what to say. Yan Lielie was right. They, humans, did not have the night vision of cats. After dark, they had no way of finding anyone.

"Brother Thirteen, don't worry, Sister Annie will be fine." Yan Ling'er also comforted.

In this regard, Xu Shisan could only pray silently.

And so, Xu Shisan continued to wait.

It was getting dark. I calculated the time and it was around seven or eight o'clock, but Annelia still hadn't come back.

Gradually, the night grew darker, and the entire forest was pitch dark. Annelia still didn't come back.

Xu Shisan stayed in the thatched hut and waited, without sleeping all night.

Soon, the sky gradually brightened and the sun was about to come out.

But Annelia still didn't come back.

Now, Xu Shisan could no longer sit still. He found Yan Lielie and others again and wanted to go to the snow mountain to find Annelia.

Yan Liehun, Yan Dagong and a few others also felt that something had happened to Anilya, so they gathered a few young and strong tribesmen and prepared to go to the snow mountain to look for her.

But just as the group was about to set off, they heard a flying sound in the sky, and Annelia's bat-winged dragon snake flew over and landed in the tribe.

And Annelia was climbing on the bat-winged dragon snake, holding a white snow lotus in her hand.

However, Annelia's condition was not very good. She had many injuries on her body, and she was cold all over, her face was pale, and her lips were purple, as if she was frozen.

Seeing this, Xu Shisan immediately took the injured Annelia off the bat-winged dragon snake.

Annelia, who was gradually losing consciousness, saw that it was Xu Shisan and fell into a deep sleep. The bat-winged dragon snake also disappeared soon after.

Afterwards, Xu Shisan immediately carried the cold Annelia to his room and lit a bonfire in the room to keep Annelia warm.

Looking at Annelia who was almost frozen to death, Xu Shisan couldn't help but feel distressed and didn't know what she had been through.

In this way, Xu Shisan stayed by her bedside for a day and a night. In the second half of the night, Annelia's body temperature finally returned to normal.

The next morning, Anlia woke up early. After waking up, she looked at Xu Shisan who was lying on the head of her bed and shook her head.

"Hey, wake up."

Hearing the noise, Xu Shisan woke up immediately.

"Are you awake? Do you feel any discomfort?" Xu Shisan asked immediately with concern.

"No." Annelia shook her head.

Xu Shisan then asked, "What happened yesterday? Why did you come back after a night? You still have so many wounds on your body? And you were frozen like that."

When Annelia came back yesterday, her calf was scratched, leaving a long scar. Her right forearm and left cheek were also scratched.

Not only that, Annelia's whole body was cold, her lips were purple, her face was pale, and she was suffering from hypothermia.

In the face of Xu Shisan's question, Annelia did not hide anything and immediately gave Xu Shisan a brief account of the process of how she snatched the snow lotus.

So this is what happened. Under the instructions of Yan Da Gong and others, Annelia climbed to the top of the mountain alone. When she reached the steepest part, Annelia directly summoned the bat-winged dragon snake and rode it to the top of the mountain.

After patrolling the top of the mountain, they found the Snow Mountain Lotus mentioned by Yan Lie on a cliff.

However, the lotus flower had not yet fully opened at that time, only a bud was visible, but it would surely bloom in a short time.

So, Annelia found a cave and stayed there until late at night, waiting for a long time.

Feeling that the time was about right, Annelia went to pick snow lotus again under the moonlight.

On the top of the mountain, because of the snow, sufficient light and high visibility, Annelia quickly found the snow lotus again. This time, the snow lotus was in full bloom.

Just when Annelia was about to pick it, a ferocious beast covered in white hair suddenly appeared.

Annelia knew that this ferocious beast was probably the A-level snow demon that Yan Lie mentioned.

Annelia didn't hesitate and prepared to fly away on the bat-wing dragon snake after picking the snow lotus.

But the snow demon was about to control the ice and snow. Just when Aniliya wanted to fly away, a blizzard swept in and directly blew Aniliya and her bat-winged dragon snake out of the sky.

Annelia fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately the trees cushioned her and she was not seriously injured.

The snow demon also followed Annelia's scent and quickly followed.

Annelia knew that if she flew away on the bat-winged dragon snake again, she would die. The snow demon was very fast and could control ice and snow. The snow-capped top of the mountain was its home ground, and the snow demon would not give her a second chance to fly away.

So, Anlia decisively teleported the bat-winged dragon snake back to the dimensional space. Then, without any hesitation, Anlia quickly dug a deep hole in the snow on the ground, buried herself in the snow, and then covered herself with the accumulated snow.

The low temperature of the accumulated snow can not only cover up the smell on his body, but also cover up the fragrance of the snow lotus. The snow demon will definitely not be found.

In this way, Annelia stayed in the snow for several hours.

Although the summoner's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, he has been buried under the snow for a long time, and Annelia was not wearing very thick clothes.

The extremely low temperature almost froze Annelia to death.

Fortunately, Anilia persisted and crawled out of the snow when she was about to be frozen. Sure enough, the snow monster did not notice her. Anilia summoned the bat-winged dragon snake again and returned quickly.

And just like that, before Annelia lost consciousness, she successfully returned to the tribe. This is what happened.
