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

Chapter 353 The Guardian of the Divine Radiance Stone

Cangshan Mountain is majestic, magnificent and steep, like a sacred mountain standing between heaven and earth.

You Su looked up and saw the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. The sun was shining through the clouds. The snow-capped mountain was as mysterious and magnificent as a fairyland.

"The Divine Radiant Stone is hidden here."

Chen Yi took a deep breath, his eyes full of anticipation and determination. He had been waiting here for thirty years, waiting for this moment.

You Su was slightly surprised, "Why did you find this place?"

"The reason why Cangshan got its name is that in the past, it was difficult to get close to the Arctic snowfield. This mysterious and beautiful snow-capped mountain in the Arctic snowfield naturally became a place that many people yearned for. Later, people had ways to keep warm, and Cangshan was no longer so mysterious. Whenever people went deep into the Arctic snowfield, they would go to Cangshan to pray for a safe journey. But the appearance of this blizzard once again hid Cangshan in the wind and snow, and it was almost forgotten."

Chen Yi told the story in detail, and he knew all these old events like the back of his hand.

“So after you did something wrong back then, you tried to find this once holy mountain to atone for your sins, but unexpectedly discovered that they had hidden the Divine Brilliance Stone here?” You Su tightened the hilt of the Mosong Sword and became extremely alert.

"Yeah..." Chen Yi took a deep breath, "Maybe it was a trick of fate. They hid my salvation in the place where I was seeking it."

……

Before setting out, there were a total of thirty-three people including You Su and the clan leader, but now there are only twenty-four left.

"The snow mulberry flowers are flying in the cold wind, and the snow will take you far away." Chen Yi glanced at the remaining tribesmen, "Xiaowu, Xiaofei, and Laomu, the children are in your hands. Lead them to the back of Cangshan Mountain, and follow the method I taught you to find the right direction, and you will definitely be able to pass through this blizzard."

The old man gave his final entrustment. In fact, the three people he named were also quite particular. None of the children and young people who left first were the ones who moved the divine stone that year. In short, they were clean people.

As for the rest of the people, they naturally made up their minds to follow You Su and Chen Yi to atone their sins.

The farewell scene was inevitably a little sad, but the people of the Xuesang tribe seemed to have been prepared for it.

The little deer's eyes were red, and it seemed like tears were about to fall at any time.

"Master, will you come out?" The girl's voice was heartbreaking.

You Su smiled, her long eyelashes covered with snow:

"I won't die here. Let's go quickly and don't waste time."

Just like that, the group of people who were reluctant to leave began to split into two groups.

Such a separation did not make You Su feel sad. Instead, he felt reassured. Chen Yi was willing to see his people off here, which proved that they could really get out of the Arctic snowfield by walking from here.

At this time, there were only twelve people left in the team going up the mountain, all of whom were guilty of crimes. In fact, You Su didn't quite understand why these people without cultivation had to follow. If there were really people guarding here, they must be powerful people with cultivation. If these mortals really encountered them, they would be like an egg hitting a rock.

But perhaps some people are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to atone their sins.

You Su followed Chen Yi's steps and walked carefully in the snow. When he reached the foot of Cangshan Mountain, he felt the sacredness of this holy mountain even more.

It is not as shocking as the first impression of Mount Henggao. In fact, it is not that majestic, but it inexplicably gives people a feeling of awe.

The snow-capped mountains were steep and the snow was deep. The clan leader and You Su walked in front, paving the way for the ten people behind them.

Along the way, Yousu also found an interesting place where some strange plants grew. These plants were covered with thick ice and snow, but they did not die because of this. Instead, they survived tenaciously in the wind and snow.

He approached a plant and found that it looked very much like a pine tree, but it had no pine needles. It only had a straight branch with some pine resin remaining on it.

"Snow pine. It is a very precious plant in Beiaozhou. Scrape off the pine resin to make cosmetics, and then apply it on the face. Even in the snow and ice, the skin will be rosy and soft. Master, you can pick some and give them to your confidante." The closer the patriarch got to his destination, the more relaxed he became, like a person who was living with a huge rock on his back and was finally going to be freed.

You Su nodded slightly, but he was not polite. In order not to make this trip in vain, he first broke off seven branches as trophies. The others saw You Su's actions but did not follow suit.

"This thing is so good, don't you want it?"

"As a sinner, how dare I take the gift from Cangshan?" Chen Yi's words also expressed the thoughts of this group of people.

You Su shook his head slightly and continued on his way.

Soon, Chen Yi stopped again, and then solemnly signaled everyone to be quiet.

You Su raised his eyebrows, not expecting to reach the destination so soon.

The journey up the mountain was so easy that even You Su found it unbelievable. There were no traps at all, and no one was trying to stop them.

In front of him was a huge cave, with a height of nearly four meters. The cave was separated by an equally huge stone door.

Several people approached carefully. There were no restrictions on the stone gate. It felt like an ordinary mountain gate.

"I was here that year and saw someone push open the door and walk in. Even from a distance I could be sure that the Divine Brilliance Stone was inside!" The clan leader became more and more excited. "Fortunately I buried my body in the snow so he didn't find it! Now that I think about it, this is the sect helping me to make up for my past mistakes!"

At such a critical moment, without the help of Snow Breath, he would not have survived.

You Su did not comment on the old man's wishful superstition, but he felt that the area did not look like anyone was guarding it.

Several people checked the surroundings first, and only dared to act after confirming that there were no traps. Under the call of the clan leader, a group of people worked together to push the ancient stone door.

Although the stone door is heavy, what prevents it from opening is not its weight, but the frost formed in the gap between the stone door and the rock.

It was obvious that no one had opened this door for a long time.

"Squeak-"

Everyone carefully pushed open the heavy stone door, making a harsh friction sound, as if uncovering a secret hidden in the darkness.

The cave was completely dark. You Su threw a stone into it, and only echoes could be heard. You Su stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside. The cave was very deep, and he didn't know where it extended to. He could feel an extreme coldness emanating from the cave, as if it came from the depths of the snow-capped mountains. "Where is the caretaker?" You Su felt a little strange.

The clan leader also frowned. "Maybe they have been frozen to death, or they have been repatriated. Or maybe the person I saw going in that year was not a guard at all. After all, it is freezing here, and it is not a place where people can live for a long time."

After hearing this, You Su took off the glove on his right hand and drew out the cold Mosong sword. When holding the sword, he hoped to have a seamless connection with the sword.

He led a group of mortals behind him and walked into the cave with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

The air in the cave was cold and dry. Several people lit oil candles together. The candle flames were gently swayed by the air currents brought by the wind and snow, reflecting the scene inside the cave.

"Here! They are really still here!" The patriarch was the first to exclaim.

I saw huge divine stones neatly arranged in this huge cave. Each divine stone was deep black, exuding an ancient and heavy atmosphere, as if telling a long history.

The tribe leader's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He slowly walked towards the Divine Radiance Stone and gently stroked its smooth surface, as if communicating with it. The tribesmen around him also gathered around him, their eyes full of satisfaction.

You Su stood aside, feeling vaguely uneasy. He carefully observed every corner of the cave. Although the brilliance of the divine stone made him feel inexplicably at ease, he always felt that there was a faint ominous atmosphere here.

"what!!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard in the cave!

You Su thought to himself, "As expected!" He immediately arched his foot and leaped to the place where the scream came from, but he couldn't see the person who screamed!

He was dragged away!

"Everyone, be careful!"

You Su shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the cave. Just as he was alert, a low roar came from the corner, and a huge black shadow quickly jumped out of the shadows and rushed towards them.

"This... this is... this is Bai Ze!"

Chen Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

The guard was huge, more than two meters tall, like a tiger and a cow, with two horns on his head, and covered with thick frost and long hair. His eyes were like burning flames, emitting a suffocating pressure. Its appearance was like an avalanche rushing down from a snowy mountain, making people lose the courage to resist.

"White Pond?!"

A hint of doubt flashed across You Su's eyes, but there was no time for him to hesitate. He immediately drew his sword and slashed at the giant monster that was rushing towards him.

The weapon came into direct contact with flesh and blood, but You Su was shocked to find that the Mosong sword could not cut into Bai Ze's palm!

The Bai Ze that was confronting You Su seemed to feel the pain brought by the Mosong Sword. It waved its hand and threw You Su away with a bang.

You Su steadied himself in mid-air, and was extremely shocked. His flesh and blood strength was stronger than before, but he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Bai Ze's strength. Moreover, the Mosong sword, which had always been able to cut iron like mud, could not even leave a trace of wound on the opponent's flesh!
What a horrible body!

"what!"

During this brief interval, another tribesman was caught by the guard's giant claws, and the scream of pain echoed in the cave. Bai Ze picked up the man's feet and smashed them to the ground, like throwing a bunch of grapes, and a pool of blood was instantly smashed on the ground, splashing onto Chen Yi's face.

Chen Yi stared stiffly at his companion's death. Only then did he realize how wrong it was to rush in here rashly.

Is it wrong to want to atone for his sins? If he just changed his name and ignored the divine stone, wouldn't it be good to take his people to a small town to settle down?

"You guys get out first!!"

You Su rushed forward to stop them, waving his sword and commanding his tribesmen.

But Bai Ze with scarlet eyes obviously would not let the invaders escape. He blocked the door, and his huge body was like a small mountain.

You Su did not feel any mysterious energy from this giant, which means that it was simply relying on its powerful body to fight against him.

"You never told me there was such a monster here before!!" You Su yelled at the dazed old man, trying to wake him up.

"It's not a monster...it's Bai Ze..." Chen Yi's voice trembled. The strange thing was that this was obviously the monster that killed his companions, but his tone was filled with great compassion.

A flash of lightning seemed to flash through You Su's mind, and he suddenly remembered the records of this unfamiliar word.

It is said that Bai Ze is snow-white, can speak human language, and understands the feelings of all things. It is one of the rare mythical beasts in the world. Bai Ze will only appear in the world when a saint descends from heaven. It is an auspicious beast that can turn misfortune into fortune.

The clan leader was right. It was too cold and no one could live here for long, but that didn’t mean Bai Ze couldn’t!

Even if such a precious thing is placed in a remote place, how can we feel safe if no one is guarding it!

But how could the legendary auspicious beast become so violent and crazy?

You Su looked at the mountain-like figure, the sword in his hand was trembling. The guard in front of him rushed towards him again, this time with even greater momentum. You Su felt the blood in his body being activated, and the cold world almost made him forget the feeling of the blood boiling.

He did not dodge, but directly resolved Bai Ze's collision. And he also proved at a great cost that even in this state, he could not resist Bai Ze!
His body flew backwards and hit the stone wall directly.

The enormous force caused You Su's internal organs to churn. A bloody smell surged into his throat and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

But Bai Ze didn't give him time to breathe, and the huge flesh palm attacked again, and You Su quickly rolled to avoid it. Bai Ze missed the attack, and immediately changed his move, grabbing You Su on the ground with his big hand.

You Su spat secretly, then used the Ruyi Wind Controlling Technique to stand up gracefully. He was not defeated by the pain in his body. On the contrary, this kind of battle made him unable to feel the severe cold around him.

Bai Ze beat his chest and roared at You Su. After You Su failed in the strength contest, he changed his strategy and fled everywhere relying on his light body. Bai Ze chased after him relentlessly as if he was irritated, and even forgot to chase after the other invaders. Thanks to this, the surviving tribesmen had retreated outside the cave.

Bai Ze's attack became more and more fierce. You Su was not a cultivator who focused on attacking and dodging after all. He was finally forced into a desperate situation and had to take a move to have room. But at the moment of close combat, You Su found that Bai Ze's palm stopped in place, and he retracted it as if he was afraid of the consequences!
You Su thought quickly and understood the reason instantly!
He was just forced between two pieces of divine stones. If Bai Ze took action, he would definitely hit the divine stones!
This guard must have been given some instructions not to destroy the Divine Brilliance Stone!

You Su quickly got away, already having a plan to deal with the enemy in his mind!
