Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 349 Exiles

The patriarch trembled slightly, as if thinking about how to start the conversation.

He knelt on the ground, his fingers tightly grasping the ground, as if looking for some reason to support him to continue speaking.

After a moment, he finally raised his head and whispered:

"We are exiles who were driven here..."

You Suwei raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, as expected.

When the old man said this, the tribesmen around him lowered their heads even lower.

"To be able to escape to this deserted place, he must have committed unforgivable sins." You Su scooped a bowl of venison soup, put it to his nose and sniffed it deeply. He hadn't smelled the aroma of hot meat for a long time, and it made him feel like he had finally returned to human society.

However, his careless tone made the sins he spoke of hurt the old man's heart even more.

The old man looked up at the young man, his eyes also revealing deep regret:
"We are indeed sinful."

The little deer was confused as she listened. She remembered that the chief was always staring at the world covered in snow, and he kept saying, "The snow covered the earth, and also covered many other things."

She didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence. Now when she thought about it, she could vaguely understand its meaning.

"No need to beat around the bush, just state your purpose directly." You Su replied indifferently.

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect the young man to be so decisive, but he did not hesitate for long and said:
"We would like to ask Master Immortal to save us!"

"The price?" You Su asked back.

His ruthlessness also surprised Xiaolu. In the eyes of the little girl, this god seemed quite amiable. But in front of the tribe members, he became cold and ruthless.

The old man shuddered. "Your Excellency may not know that you have come from far away, but it is not easy to leave this Arctic snowfield. We can take you out, but you need to do us a favor."

"Do you know I come from far away?" You Su asked coldly.

"You don't have the rough feeling of ice and snow on your body. At least you are not from Beiaozhou." The old man did not look up.

You Su knew that the old man's words were somewhat abstract, but this was indeed the reason that made him make the judgment. There were indeed extremely obvious differences between people living in an icy world and people living in a world full of flowers and birds, such as skin color, clothing, tone of voice, etc.

"Just because someone is from a foreign land doesn't mean they are easy to be cheated." You Su certainly wouldn't easily believe the other party's deal.

"The Arctic snowfield is frozen all year round, with snow flying for thousands of miles, but it is by no means a barren land. The snow has also given birth to treasures that are unique to this world. If there were nothing strange about the snowfield, there should be a city to the north of the Arctic City." The old man replied.

You Su frowned, what the patriarch said made sense.

Human greed meant they would not stop exploring. If they stopped, the road ahead would either kill them or be unprofitable. "The fact that I can walk from the glacier to here means I don't need your help." You Su still wanted to force the old man to say more.

The old man also did as he wished: "You can walk in the vast snow for five days, seven days, but you can't walk for a month. We have sacrificed many lives to find this way home."

"Why bother to scare people? There are stars in the sky. If we follow their guidance and walk south, we will be able to get out. This road is in the sky, not under our feet." You Su was a little puzzled by their ignorance.

"Yes, but the scariest thing in the world is not finding the direction." The old man raised his head, his eyes gleaming, "The scariest thing is finding the direction, but knowing that the road will never lead to the other side. The snow there is even heavier than here, as if all the snow in the world comes from there. It is a natural barrier that blocks everything that tries to land on the North Pole from the North Pole, including us."

Hearing this, You Su's movements of tasting the soup froze, and the old man's last sentence made it seem as if an electric current flashed through his mind.

This patriarch is indeed not an ordinary person. He knows that there is no divine radiant stone on the Arctic coastline!

"But how can I trust you to lead me through the snowstorm you mentioned?"

"Master Immortal, you can only trust us, right? Otherwise, if you want to leave here, you can only return the same way you came."

Backtrack?

You Su put down the bowl completely. The old man easily saw through his previous excuse of getting into this place by mistake. According to the saying that no one could easily pass through that layer of blizzard, it seemed that the old man had already determined that he came from the sea.

No one would believe such a horrifying thing. The only ship that could safely sail on the sea was the Shenhan Ship, but the Shenhan Ship would not sail to this far north. I am afraid that in the eyes of the old man, I am no different from a monster. No wonder he reveres me so much. They call the evil demons gods, so I am also a god in their eyes.

"Tell me why you were exiled here." You Su stood up and patted the snow off his butt. "You don't have to kneel to me. I'm not a god."

"We stole the Divine Radiant Stone."

The old man’s words shocked You Su’s heart.

"Thousands of years ago, the never-ending snowstorm did not exist, so our ancestors placed the Divine Radiant Stone on the shore. But as time went on, it became increasingly difficult for people to penetrate the Arctic snowfield, as if the land was resisting them.

We were once a small, unknown sect, and our research was on the art of traveling through the snow. Although the snowfield was blocked, people still yearned for the resources inside. So the knowledge passed down from generation to generation finally came in handy, and we became the cooks for those big shots, and began to move treasures from the depths of the snowfield for them. We made a lot of money, until that time we were commissioned to move the Divine Brilliance Stone.

We didn't dare, so they personally tested us. Even evil spirits couldn't get through the snowstorm. So with this natural barrier, those precious God's Brilliant Stones were redundant. God's Brilliant Stones were absolutely rare treasures, and they were always controlled by the God Mountain. Anyone who dared to move God's Brilliant Stones would be punished with the whole clan. But they promised us great benefits, and the God's Brilliant Stones on this shore had long been forgotten. We were still shaken by the temptation and persuasion.

But we regretted it. When we were about to get out of the blizzard, we saw the evil spirit they used for testing again. It didn't enter the blizzard at all. The test was fake. We wanted to send the God Brilliance Stone back, but it was too late. They took the God Brilliance Stone and then deprived all of our cultivation. We tried our best, but we could only run into the blizzard to save our lives... This life lasted for thirty years..."

The old man tearfully recounted his past experiences of how he and his tribesmen had ended up here, but You Su could not muster much sympathy.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"I know where they hide the Divine Radiant!"
