She gritted her teeth . Yu Linglong put the center of her body’s weight on the small bulge she grasped in her hand, and carefully pressed her feet against the bare pit wall . She stretched out her hand and slowly pulled out the dagger on the outside of her calf .

At every step, she was extremely cautious, because she knew that if she was careless, she would fall to the bottom of the pit, with a thousand arrows piercing her heart!

After finally holding the dagger in her hand, Yu Linglong felt a little bit stronger . She used the dagger to cut out a piece of stone and dirt on the wall of the pit, which gave herself a temporary foothold .

Even though the dagger given to her by Lord Xu could cut through iron like mud, it was freezing, and the pit was surrounded by hard soil . It was extremely difficult to dig a small hole .

Stepping on the small hole that was dug out, she finally stabilized her body, but Yu Linglong didn’t dare to slack in the slightest, so she immediately dug into the pit wall with her dagger .

While digging, she carefully interlaced the positions of her hands and feet, moving her body slowly up .

Still catching the movement outside the pit in her ears, she heard Ling’er running far away . It seemed that after a while, she caught Hong Jian, and the two voices gradually approached . It sounded like Hong Jian was caught by Ling’er and escorted back .

Getting higher and higher up the pit, Yu Linglong speeded up . Soon, her hand touched the snowy ground above, and she acted decisively, thrusting her dagger into the solid soil, and kicking her feet . She finally jumped out of the pit and fell into a snowdrift .

The feeling of barely missing death was not good, even to Yu Linglong . Thinking of the scene just now, she couldn’t help but feel a little bit afraid . She had rarely been deceived like this, let alone suffer such a big loss . The feeling of being afraid only lasted for a short time . Soon, it became a raging anger .

Looking up, Ling’er had already walked over with Hong Jian in the boundless snow . The corner of Hong Jian’s mouth was bleeding; she was obviously injured .

Seeing the two approaching, Yu Linglong couldn’t help being angry . When she kicked Hong Jian’s chest, she shouted: “Tell me! Who told you to lie to me!?”

Hong Jian was kicked face down on the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, contrasting with the white snow .

Looking up with difficulty, Hong Jian’s face was full of panic and horror: “Princess, I…I…”

Yu Linglong stepped forward, and the blade covered in dirt and snow in her hand pointed at Hong Jian’s throat, and she shouted sharply: “Say it!”

Hong Jian moved her lips, her eyes were full of fear: “It’s—”

Before Hong Jian could utter the next word, a slender shadow suddenly struck across the air, bursting into the air with a sharp whistling sound .

The next moment, Hong Jian’s eyebrows had a small black hole, and a bright red liquid was flowing down her forehead, and her face was fixed on a horrified expression before her death .

Her little body tilted into the snow, and Hong Jian’s unspoken words could never be said .

This hidden weapon came so suddenly that even Yu Linglong was shocked, and immediately shouted, “Who’s there!?”

Looking behind her, she couldn’t even see a single figure, except for the rolling hillsides on which there was a vast amount of snow, which made a rustle when the cold wind passed by .

Ling’er looked down at the hidden weapon on the snow and whispered: “Princess, it’s… it’s a rapid-fire crossbow arrow . ”

Under the moonlight, Yu Linglong’s eyes gradually darkened . Those who could send out such a hidden weapon and disappear mysteriously must have a strong reason .

However, since it was to kill her, why not shoot her crossbow arrows directly? Why did they only kill Hong Jian to silence her?

Could it be that her previous speculation was wrong, that the target of the people in the dark was not her, so she would save her life?

So what was their purpose? What made them bother to buy Shi Huiru’s personal servant girl, what made them design a set of seamless lies to lead her to this, and what made them try their best to set such a sinister trap in the snow?

There was a terrible thought faintly in her heart, but she didn’t dare to think about it anymore . She looked around vigilantly and said: “Ling’er, let’s go . ”

This sketchy area was definitely not suitable to stay in for long . If she had any questions, she should go back to the tent first .

However, it was obviously too late to leave at this time .

As soon as they took a step, they heard a very anxious voice from a distance: “Linglong, Linglong!”

This voice was so familiar, but it sounded like a bolt out of the blue . She turned around abruptly and shouted, “Yu Lieyang, don’t come over!”

The speed of Lord Xu was faster than her voice . In a flash, his long figure fell from the sky to her side, and his eager face was full of lost and regained joy: “Are you okay?”

Yu Linglong didn’t feel the joy of seeing him at all . Instead, she became nervous and involuntarily tensed up: “Why are you here!”

All the thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning and flint . Yu Linglong didn’t care about greeting him, and grabbed Lord Xu’s hand: “Go!”

Lord Xu obviously didn’t know the meaning of Yu Linglong’s words, but in the next moment, the surrounding situation had changed drastically . He didn’t have to think about the meaning of Yu Linglong’s words, but also understood the situation in front of him .

In the quiet snow valley just now, a group of silent black shadows appeared on the top of the mountain, standing on the raised cliff, looking strange and inexplicable .

A penetrating voice rang . Although it was not loud, it shook the snow valley again and again: “Lord Xu, you are hidden really well . ”

Lord Xu pulled Yu Linglong behind him . The warmth on his face was swept away, and his voice was full of coldness: “Come out!”

The voice didn’t seem to hear Lord Xu’s words . It just into laughter, and then said: “It’s a pity, your skill is so good that not even your subordinates can keep up with you, otherwise, who would know that you would die here alone—”

Before the next words fell, a bright light suddenly rose in the sky behind the black shadow . It whizzed through the sky . They only heard a loud bang, and a huge and brilliant firework suddenly burst into the night sky .

The snow on the top of the mountain was already crumbling, and even Yu Linglong at the bottom of the valley was deafened by the sound . The snow couldn’t stand it, and it slipped down slowly .

Lord Xu and Yu Linglong exchanged glances quickly . They both had the same thoughts .

This person racked their brains . Of course, it was impossible that they would show them fireworks in the snowy valley . He wanted to use the explosion of the fireworks to cause an avalanche!

Yu Linglong’s heart was shocked . In comparison, the trap with spears just now was nothing . This huge snow valley was the ideal trap!

If the tens of millions of tons of snow on the mountain slid down, they would have no escape, no escape!

As if to confirm their conjecture, the firework above their heads had not yet been extinguished, and another firework had already followed, and once again it was making an earth-shattering sound in the sky!

In the continuous sound of firework explosions, the infiltrating voice with a strange laughter was interspersed: “However, with Princess Xu accompanying you, you will not be lonely…”

Lord Xu didn’t say a word, but swiftly stretched out his hand, grabbed Yu Linglong’s waist, and ran out quickly without stopping . Relying on his outstanding skill, he had already rushed dozens of meters with a few leaps .

Yu Linglong was held by him, and her hands wrapped around his neck subconsciously . At this moment, she realized that she could only rely on this man . It turned out that she trusted him so much at the moment of life and death .

Her mind was blank . She hardly had time to think about anything, she just instinctively grasped his shoulders tightly .

Relying on his arms, she only felt that the world seemed to be spinning, and the scene before her turned into fragments one after another, but it was so thrilling in her eyes .

In the constant explosions, countless snow piles collapsed like huge icebergs .

The mist from the snow soared up in the night sky, and the rolling waves of snow carried the power of thunder as if they could swallow everything, and rushed toward them savagely .

She only had time to see Ling’er’s tiny figure running behind them . She wanted to speak, but large pieces of cold snow were already pouring into her mouth, making her breathing stagnate and she couldn’t speak .

In the power of nature, no matter who it is, it seems too insignificant .

Amidst the roaring avalanche, the cold, dark voice could still come through the air, as if it came from hell .

“Isn’t it too late to escape now?”

Lord Xu didn’t say a word . He was just clinging to Yu Linglong tightly as if she was the only treasure in the world . Even if she tried her best, he would protect her to the death .

It’s just that the people on the cliff tried their best to set this trap . How can he easily escape? In the overwhelming waves of snow, a fierce arrow suddenly pierced towards the heart of Lord Xu .

Holding Yu Linglong in his arms, he was racing hard . It was too late for Lord Xu to move and dodge . Yu Linglong only heard a grunt . His upright body had fallen to one knee, supporting himself not to fall .

Even so, he still did not put her down . Yu Linglong looked down at him . In the snow mist blown by the cold wind, there was a black crossbow arrow stuck in his calf, and blood was dripping from it .

Everything happened so quickly that Yu Linglong didn’t realize that Lord Xu was injured until now . She subconsciously wanted to break free of his embrace and look down at his injuries .

She moved slightly, and his deep voice sounded above her head . Even in the rumbling avalanche, his voice still had the power to penetrate everything, and the words clearly penetrated into her ears .

“It’s because I made you involved . ”

Yu Linglong’s heart tightened for no reason, and she immediately said: “Let me down, I will take you out—”

The answer to her was a fierce kiss that suddenly branded her forehead, as if with apocalyptic despair, but mixed with heart-wrenching reluctance .

“Linglong, you have to live well!”

Before Yu Linglong could react, her body was already flying like clouds and mist . Lord Xu exhausted all his strength and threw Yu Linglong towards the entrance to the valley!

Flying through the air, Yu Linglong recalled the true purpose of Lord Xu . She suddenly let out a scream: “No—”

Her voice disappeared in the millions of snowflakes pouring down, as fragile as a bubble .

As soon as she fell into the soft snow, Yu Linglong couldn’t care about checking the surrounding situation . She immediately got up and ran in the direction of Lord Xu desperately .

Before she started, she found that she could not run at all . Although Lord Xu had tried his best to throw her far away, the place where she fell was still a short distance from the valley entrance, and she could not walk this small distance .

Because at this moment, the snow was falling apart . Although she was not in the center of the avalanche, the thick snow on the mountain was dragged by the avalanche and was slowly sliding down like quicksand .

Yu Linglong was stuck in the trap of snow, unable to move at all . After hesitating for a moment, she was pushed to the ground by a huge and slow force, and she could only involuntarily slide down with the quicksand-like snow .

She tried to look in the direction of Lord Xu, but her eyes were covered by the snow mist flying all over the sky . There was only white snow in front of her, and she could see nothing .

This was the first time she felt scared in her two lives .

This was also the first time that she knew what he thought of her . It turned out that he would give up his life for her, just to keep her safe .

If he didn’t hold her, he would never get hurt with his skills, and he could even use his flying martial arts to escape this snow valley . But he refused, he refused to let go, he refused to put her down . Even after being injured, he would use the last trace of strength to throw her out of the valley .

The icy snowflakes rushed into her eyes, stabbing them, and the sky was full of dazzling white light, reflecting the night as bright as day, and the mysterious black figures above had disappeared somehow .

The avalanche came and went fast as if it was just a blink of an eye . The mountain-like snow had gradually slowed down, and the valley had returned to silence again, but the people who were alive just now have completely disappeared .

As soon as Yu Linglong stabilized her body, she immediately got up and ran across the snow .

She did not run away like most women, or be at a loss, or cry . Even at this time, she still remained calm and rational .

If she shouted right now, first, it may cause another avalanche, second, if those people who just left heard her voice they would come back, and in the current situation, she could not guarantee she can retreat all by herself .

Moreover, she had more important things to do .

Yes, she survived, but she didn’t leave this dangerous place immediately, and she had never even thought of running away .

There was boundless white all around, and there was no reference for her to find her direction, and it was even more impossible to find the place she was just in . Yu Linglong was digging the snow quickly with her hands entirely based on feelings, or with some fierce force .

In her heart, there was a voice shouting loudly, giving her endless strength and courage .

Yu Lieyang, you can’t die!
