From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Even so, it took the group two hours to complete the gift-giving mission across the entire American continent.

The next region is Eurasia.

Even in countries where Christmas is not celebrated, Santa Claus still prepares gifts for the good children living in those countries. The wrapping and presentation of the gifts also change. For example, in China, the gifts children receive on this day are either wrapped in a red envelope and placed under their pillows, or simply left unwrapped by their bedsides.

Then comes Australia—

"Esther, are we really going to catch Santa Claus?"

In the haunted hotel, Benny was quite uneasy. "What if he puts our names on the list of bad kids and stops sending us Christmas presents?"

"If we catch Santa Claus, we'll get all the presents we want!"

Esther was always a person of strong opinions.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

"Shh!"

Upon hearing the bells and seeing the sleigh's shadowy silhouette against the moonlight outside the window, Esther immediately covered Benny's mouth and waited patiently.

As smoke billowed from the fireplace, Jiang Liu emerged, followed by Xiao Yu and Parker.

"Aha!"

A group of ghosts, including a homeless man and a candle-shaped figure, appeared and enveloped the three of them.

"Santa Claus!"

"Hand over the gift now!"

"..."

"and many more!"

Esther yanked open the curtains, revealing herself, and looked at Jade, asking in confusion, "Are you a Christmas elf?"

"Of course not, Esther."

Then, Xiaoyu explained that Santa Claus had been kidnapped and that Jiang Liu was temporarily impersonating Santa Claus to deliver presents to the children. "By the way, are you going to play pranks on Christmas too?"

Upon hearing this, Esther blushed and quickly corrected herself, "No, it's just preparing a surprise for Santa Claus! Yes, that's right, a surprise!"

Jiang Liu took out three gift boxes from the bag and gave them to Esther, Benny, and Abbotton.

Do I have one too?

Abbott was surprised. He reached out and took the gift, tore open the ribbon and the package, revealing a brand new blender. "Santa Claus understands me!"

Within this cycle, Abaddon, or rather, the Mercury Clock, is the will and spirit nurtured by the earth; even though he has lived for thousands of years, he is still a child.

The reason I haven't received any gifts in the past is because Abaddon has always been a "bad boy." He hasn't done many truly evil things, but he has caused the injuries of tens of thousands of people.

Now I have received the gift prepared by Santa Claus, but before that, my mind has returned to the right path, I have given up my demonic body and chosen to continue being human.

To be honest...

Under the influence of this week's weather forecast, Santa Claus's authority truly carries a sense of "a single thought arises in the human heart, and heaven and earth know it all. If good and evil go unpunished, then heaven and earth must be biased." He can not only understand what children are thinking, but he can even sense the thoughts of the mercury clock.

It's truly mysterious!

# Chapter 914 Saving Santa Claus

Just as Jiang Liu and the others were chatting with Esther, snowflakes turned into a tornado at the foot of the Himalayas, bringing a group of visitors.

"I felt Santa's energy!"

"He really is in the Himalayas!"

The Christmas elf said excitedly as it stepped through the snow.

"But where exactly is he?"

The bull warrior looked left and right, but all he could see was a vast expanse of white light. There was no sign of human habitation, not even a single cave.

“In the past, as long as the approximate location was determined, I could sense Santa Claus’s Qi during the teleportation process and adjust accordingly, thus allowing us to directly reach Santa Claus’s side.”

The Christmas elf mentioned again that his teleportation spell had malfunctioned, "Perhaps that dark wizard interfered with me."

But that's alright. Based on my intuition of Santa Claus's unique sense of justice, I can lead you to him.

"Shall we begin our climb now?"

the climb?

Looking at the towering Himalayas, Chen Long's eyes widened and Tru's foot slipped. They both said, "Can't you just teleport us up there?"

"If there's an error during long-distance transmission, I can adjust it. But for close-range transmission, I don't have that reaction time."

The Christmas elf had his reasons: "Besides, Santa Claus was kidnapped by the dark wizard. If he were to be teleported directly, it would surely alert the wizard."

If that guy hurts Santa Claus, even if we defeat that sword dragon, it will be of no use.

Children around the world only receive gifts their parents buy from discount stores, and never receive Santa's magical blessings.

Santa's gifts carry magical blessings. While they cannot guarantee that a child will be free from all illnesses for life, they do bring good fortune and a period of time.

"Alright, let's climb then!"

Chen Long took a deep breath, his spirits high, ready to conquer the Himalayas.

"Where are the climbing tools?"

The little snake asked, "Without the right equipment, even if we can climb the mountain, it will take a lot of effort."

Ding!

The Christmas elf took out a bell, swung it gently, and produced a pleasant sound. Then, the sound waves materialized and became visible to the naked eye, clinging to Chen Long, Tru, Little Snake, Old Man, and Bull Warrior, causing them to put on hiking clothes and pick up hiking poles.

"Magic is really convenient."

The little snake laughed.

Let's conquer the Himalayas!

Chen Long encouraged everyone, and seeing that his father was old, he decided to help him up.

Snapped!

But his father tapped him on the forehead and said, "Your father isn't so old that he can't walk!"

Even so, after walking only three or five miles, the old man got tired and had to be carried by Chen Long, Niu Zhanshi, and Tru in turns, slowly making their way forward.

This journey took two hours, enduring wind and snow, braving frost, and passing the mountainside where no more clouds or mist could be seen, finally allowing them to catch their breath.

Looking ahead, about a kilometer away, a small house came into view:

Outside, there's a fence, a snowman stands tall; the roof is covered in snow, and wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys; the gate is tightly shut, and the lights are dim; this is Santa Claus's residence.

"Is that Santa's house?"

Chen Long, with his sharp eyes, noticed it immediately and asked in confusion, "It's one thing for Dao Long to kidnap Santa Claus, but he even moved his house to the Himalayas? What's he up to?"

“Dad isn’t an expert in everything.”

The old man tapped Chen Long on the forehead with his finger, making him yelp in pain. He then raised another finger and said, "There's one more thing."

Something's off here.

It's too quiet.

If Santa Claus were kidnapped by a dragon, dark clouds would surely hang overhead, but there is not a trace of darkness here.

This is very abnormal!

of course.

The old man also suspected that it was because Jiang Liu's plan had succeeded that the balance between righteous energy and dark energy gradually shifted from confrontation to harmony, making it difficult for him to perceive the dark energy anymore.

Similarly, righteousness may also be the same.

"We'll know once we go to that house and check the situation," said the Bull Warrior, eager to go and investigate.

"and many more."

Chen Long grabbed him and advised, "Dad is right, there might be a trap here, we need to be prepared."

"What should we prepare?"

The bull warriors looked around—they had brought nothing but trekking poles, and all they could see were snow and snowmen.

"Uh... Dad?"

Chen Long looked at his father.

The latter took out a pufferfish and a lizard, and walked towards the hut first, saying, "What are you standing here for? There's still more than a thousand meters away. Isn't it a bit too early to discuss traps here?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Long was speechless and could only quickly follow along with the others.

Upon arriving at the cottage, the door opened by itself, as if inviting someone into a trap.

"Dad!"

Chen Long's heart tightened.

The old man ignored everything, holding a pufferfish in one hand and a lizard in the other, chanting, "Demons and monsters, leave quickly!" This caused the pufferfish and lizard to emit a green glow, cautiously approaching their surroundings. But if anything seemed amiss, he would immediately shoot.

Chen Long led the way, while Tru guarded the rear. Bull Warrior and Little Snake stayed close to their father, keeping watch on their surroundings to prevent any people or monsters from hiding in the snow.

Stepping through the gate, one finds the interior neatly furnished, with a warm fire in the fireplace, complete tables and chairs, and bright light bulbs overhead, creating a cozy atmosphere.

"Santa Claus is really keeping up with the times." The little snake looked at the light bulb and muttered to itself, just as it heard a noise coming from the room on the left.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah!"

The bull warrior hurriedly burst open the door.

Santa Claus was tied to the bed and his mouth was gagged. He seemed to hear the noise from Chen Long and his group outside the door, so he whimpered and cried out to attract their attention.

"Don't be afraid, Santa Claus, I'll untie the ropes on you right away!" the bull warrior shouted, taking two steps at a time to run to the bedside and reach out to break the ropes binding Santa Claus.

But then they saw that the rope seemed to be alive, as three or five snake heads were raised from below.

"It's a demonic serpent conjured from hellish demonic energy!" The old man immediately aimed the pufferfish at one of the serpents and shot out a beam of green light, instantly annihilating it into nothingness.
