~Thank you "[Black Society]... Lian’er" for the precious two pink ~

"Are you sure you can still move?" Xiao Xian asked uncertainly, carefully helping Zhou Ziang out of his outer down jacket.

Seeing that he had finally come around, Xiao Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

The previously water and wind-proof down jacket had been torn with several gashes, branches and broken stones scattered all around, indicating the severe friction endured on the way down.

"No big deal, just a minor issue, luckily my feet aren’t hurt," Zhou Ziang said lightly, but as he moved slightly, a sharp pain of broken bone shot through his right arm, damn it, he cursed inwardly, at the critical moment, his right arm was actually broken.

After all, he’s still a mortal encased in flesh. It was fortunate that Zhou Ziang kept his life intact before his ascension to immortality, especially with his protective Spiritual Energy being interfered with.

If his Spiritual Power were still intact, he could rely on his own Spiritual Power to promote the regeneration of flesh and bones. However, in such an area of abnormal Spiritual Power, all he could do was grit his teeth against the physical pain. With the premise that the severe cold hadn’t damaged his muscles, he needed to get out as quickly as possible.

Unlike Xiao Xian, Zhou Ziang’s space with Spiritual Energy had been isolated.

During Zhou Ziang’s brief lapse into unconsciousness when he hit the ground, his hand had unwittingly loosened, flinging Xiao Xian violently away.

Fortunately, the spot where both of them ended up falling was at the bottom of Snow Gully. Unlike the steep and uneven mountainside they rolled down, the bottom of Snow Gully was flat and smooth, with soft snow as white as down feathers.

From unconsciousness to awakening, Zhou Ziang went through just about ten minutes, which allowed Xiao Xian to slightly steady her nerves. They found a spot sheltered from the wind and snow to temporary stop. Looking up, the sky was clear of snow, leaving only a streak of sky visible like a snowy seam.

Xiao Xian remembered the fall to the landing took about half an hour. This gully must be over ten thousand meters deep. Xiao Xian’s satellite phone was still in her luggage, as for Zhou Ziang’s... Xiao Xian took out the matchbox-sized phone from his pocket.

Unfortunately, the violent impact had rendered the phone beyond repair.

"Let’s look around first," Zhou Ziang determined after surveying the surroundings with a focused gaze.

The peculiarity of Snow Gully was something Zhou Ziang noted just after they took the tumble, with the Spiritual Energy going out of control. The depth of this gully did not conform to the standards of any gully on Earth.

He was currently worried that if Snow Gully could inexplicably expand, did that also mean that, after a while, it might also shrink.

Zhou Ziang was only thinking this in his mind, not voicing it out loud, simply relying on Xiao Xian’s support.

Xiao Xian, holding onto Zhou Ziang’s injured hand, felt a stab of pain in her heart despite his silence, as the trembling from his sleeve was undeniable.

Thankfully, the movement of the Snow Gully had now stopped, showing neither signs of expansion or contraction.

"Don’t be disheartened, maybe there is an exit up ahead," a large hand fell on her head, ruffling her hair. At the same time, it swept away the guilt and unease in her heart, Xiao Xian murmured an "Mhm," thinking with Zhou Ziang injured, she must be strong and find a way out.

Although it was a world of ice and snow both inside and outside the Snow Gully, it wasn’t unbearably cold. The environment was moist, without wind or falling snow, and the air was unusually fresh.

Seemingly endless, the two supported each other for about half an hour.

"Up ahead!" the hand released her, Xiao Xian raised her head to look forward, her voice caught in her throat.

What did both of them see? An ice sculpture, a human-shaped ice figure with a person frozen inside. It was Mei Nian, whom Xiao Xian had been seeking desperately in recent days.

Although it was unfortunate to have fallen into this peculiar Snow Gully, if they had remained on the surface, Xiao Xian might never have found Mei Nian.

"Don’t go there, it might be dangerous," Zhou Ziang stopped Xiao Xian’s immediate impulse to rush forward to check, they were still dozens of meters away from the ice figure. Mei Nian, sealed in the ice inside the snow, had normal skin color, a very faint heartbeat, but not completely stopped. She was frozen in the act of lifting her right foot, which had not yet landed, and she was preparing to bend over with her hand reaching towards the bottom right corner.

Not far from Mei Nian and Xiao Xian on the ground, there was a spot not covered by ice and snow that could accommodate the standing of an average person. Black soil, loose in texture, fertile.
