In the far north, this place has crossed the deserts and Gobi between the Empire and the Beastmen, crossed the grasslands and territories of the Beastmen that stretch for thousands of miles, and entered a place without summer.
The world was silvery white, with snow everywhere. In the whiteness of the mountains and plains, four black figures were walking on the snow. They were not riding horses, because horses could not adapt to the cold environment. However, the speed of these people walking was not slow at all. They looked like they were walking, but in fact they were faster than horses.
The first woman was wearing a long robe similar to a windbreaker. Although it had some warmth, it was far from enough to keep out the cold in such an environment. However, she looked very comfortable. She tapped her toes on the ground and leaped forward quickly. She ran a few steps and seemed to hear something. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a snow eagle flying in the sky.
She stared at Xueying for a few seconds, then turned around and said, "Gallo, it looks like you're being targeted by those endless guys again. Are they so fearless of death?"
A man in a heavy robe came up quickly from behind, also looked up at the sky, and then said, "Boss, the Snow Ape tribe is so stubborn, they have made enemies with us. These guys are also looked down upon by the orcs among the tribes. Many orcs think they are too stupid and don't deserve to have the word "human" added to their name."
"It's really stupid."
"We killed a group of snow apes that raided our camp last night. Now it seems that this tribe is holding a grudge against us. This is already the third wave. They don't even think about how formidable an enemy would be if they could kill a raiding team in less than a minute."
This group of people is Mo Yu and her companions. The secret swordsman Gawain, the thief Garo and the priest Bella. And their destination is Gawain's hometown, which is also the secret place where the Sword Tower is located.
This was a promise Mo Yu had made to Gawain. When she became a saint, she would go back to the Sword Tower with Gawain to take a look. But this time she had another purpose: to take the Sword Tower away and bring it to the Tower of China.
"They are coming." Bella pointed to a snowy mountain beside her. She could see a group of tall and agile white figures rushing towards them through the forest. These orcs of the snow ape tribe were often over three meters tall and covered with thick hair. They waved huge tree trunks and stone clubs in their hands. In this snowy plain, they have always been the overlords of the surrounding mountains. Whether it is the orc tribes near here or the monsters in the wild, they can only retreat when they see these powerful monsters in groups. This time, there are about dozens of snow ape warriors rushing towards Mo Yu and his companions. Such a force is enough to easily deal with a fully armed imperial brigade on the battlefield.
Mo Yu asked Gao Wen, "You said this place is very close to the Sword Tower's territory. Haven't you ever taught these big guys a lesson so that they learn to stay in their own forest?"
Gao Wen scratched his head and said, "According to the teacher's instructions, we must keep a low profile. When I went out, I always ran alone to avoid these guys. This time we had more people and were a little careless, so we attracted their attention."
"Are you so afraid of the Temple of Nature?" Mo Yu asked with some disdain.
"The Temple of Nature is no small trouble," Gawain argued.
Mo Yu grasped the sword behind him with his backhand, and said with a slight smile: "Where can you find a natural temple in such a place? You guys are really dragging your feet. Let me teach you how to deal with the problem."
Mo Yu drew out her sword, raised it above her head, and pointed it at the distant mountain peak. White madness overflowed from her body and wrapped around her. Compared with the past, her airflow now had a hint of gold, which was the change brought about by her reaching the realm of saints. The airflow became more and more condensed, and in the end it was like golden threads, which wrapped around her sword, turning the sword into a shining column of light. The light on the sword became fainter as it went higher, but it went straight to the sky.
"Mo Yu, what are you going to do?" Gao Wen exclaimed, "This is a snowy mountain. If we make too much noise..."
"There will be an avalanche, right?" The platinum-gold light on Mo Yu's body became more and more, "This is exactly what I want."
Mo Yu swung the sword in his hand and chopped it down. The light on the sword that was thousands of meters long naturally cut into the mountain in front.
The beam of light seemed to be light as a feather, but when it landed on the ground, it exploded with a loud bang. Rocks, soil, trees, and snow were thrown into the air by the huge force caused by the explosion.
And below these flying objects was a deep ravine that led straight from in front of them to the mountain.
Then the explosion and vibration triggered an avalanche on the top of the mountain. The snow swept down from the mountain like a wave and rushed towards them. Bella had to quickly release a magic spell to lift everyone present into the air.
Although Mo Yu's sword did not hit the snow apes running towards them, the avalanche followed closely, chasing the snow apes and sweeping them all in.
Their tall figures kept struggling in the white snow fog, but were submerged one by one.
When the snow mist dissipated, the gullies that were originally cut by Mo Yu's sword were completely covered by snow. However, there were no good trees on this newly appeared snowy land. There were raised rocks or overturned tree roots everywhere, and mixed in with them were snow apes half buried in the snow.
Most of these creatures with strong vitality survived the avalanche. Some of them struggled to push away the snow and climb out, while others wailed because of their severe injuries. However, when any of them saw the four people floating in the sky, their eyes were filled with fear.
Bella said: "You are really merciful. You didn't chop them directly on the head with the sword. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have the chance to wail."
Mo Yu said: "I'm not a murderer, I'm just talking to them in a way they can understand."
Mo Yu turned to Gao Wen and smiled: "How is it? It's completely done in one go."
Gao Wen smiled bitterly and said, "You won't use this method to solve the problem after you arrive at the Sword Tower, right?"
"That's hard to say. I'm a mad swordsman. If I don't solve the problem this way, do you still expect me to sit down and have a cup of coffee and talk slowly?"
"What's coffee?" Gallo floated over and asked.
"This is not the point." Gao Wen and Mo Yu said at the same time.
Gao Wen sighed and said, "Now I regret it..."
"Hmm?" Mo Yu glanced at him.
"Well, I regret not bringing you here earlier. At that time, you could only chop a few meters with one sword..." (To be continued)
