Chapter 261 - Mountain Hare & Snow Snake

Chapter 261 Mountain Hare & Snow Snake

The road in Shu is hard to go through.

So is the snow road.

Walking on the mountain path covered with snow, Gao Ge and Xia Lu have to eat some snow lotuses once in a while to maintain their strength.

They must be careful for every step!

Standing at the high position, they look downhills only to find that more people are walking on the mountain path, except that they are either strangers or cannot be seen clearly.

“Do we have a rest here?” Xia Lu asks.

Gao Ge nods his head, “Let’s have a rest then. Meanwhile we can digest the snow lotuses we have eaten.”

Even a fool knows that the snow lotuses are good stuff. If they only eat the lotuses without full digestion, it will be a tremendous waste. Gao Ge won’t wantonly waste any good stuff. After all, lucky chance may have its own thought. If you don’t cherish it for once or two times, you may not be able to meet it again. It’s like that when you used to ignore the Plain Jane, she may become too gorgeous someday for you to get!

As to Yue Xincheng who is suffering a sunstroke, Gao Ge and Xia Lu can never think of that. If anyone comes to tell Gao Ge that his best brother is having a sunstroke, Gao Ge must spit on the guy and curse that no way is his best brother having a sunstroke!

They cannot stay on the mountain path if they want to digest the snow lotuses. After all, how long they will need to spend in digesting is uncertain. If they encounter any opponents or passers-by with ill intention during the process of digesting the lotuses, they will be in great trouble. Gao Ge and Xia Lu won’t make such a mistake.

They directly leave the mountain path and walk into the jungles, trying to find a relatively secret and safe place.

The mountain is mostly filled with pines and cypresses, which are full of snowflakes. The crystalline pine needles look like delicately crafted artworks.

Xia Lu keeps watching the scenery while walking. Maybe she can hardly hold up her heart of a young girl anymore.

She also sighs from time to time. Gao Ge feels a bit confused. Upon inquiry, he knows that Xia Lu is sighing that she cannot switch on her phone so she has no chance of sending out a Twitter.

“Here!” Xia Lu suddenly reaches out her hand, “What is that?”

Gao Ge looks to the direction she is pointing at. A white hare is crawling at Xia Lu’s feet, motionless. If they don’t take a closer look, they cannot notice it at all. Just as a saying goes, it is as sedate as the earth.

The hare’s color is completely aligned with the snow, without any weird feeling. If it were not for Xia Lu, Gao Ge wouldn’t notice it at all.

When Xia Lu reaches out her hands to catch the hare, it also senses danger and then runs away immediately. It runs so fast that it almost disappears in the blink of an eye.

Gao Ge and Xia Lu are shocked.

Gao Ge can never catch up with it even if he exerts the skill of Ghost-like Steps.

“It seems that it is also a kind of rare beast!” Gao Ge pats his head and feels that he is talking nonsense.

Since it appears here, it must be a rare beast. What else can it be?

Moreover, an ordinary hare cannot run that fast.

“Yet, is the hare a bit silly?” Gao Ge reaches out his hand to point at the small holes before them, which are the footprints left by the hare.

“Shall we go after it?” Xia Lu asks.

“It is no use going after the hare. I think it will start escaping when we try to go near it.” Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “Unless I can move faster, I cannot catch up with it.”

“What a pity!” Xia Lu heaves a sigh.

“Do you like hares?” Gao Ge raises his eyebrows and asks.

“Yes!”

“What kind of hare do you like?”

Xia Lu touches her smooth chin and thinks carefully with her eyes glittering, “The braised one!”

Gao Ge is awed.

In his eyes, it is with good reason that Xia Lu can become his good friend.

If Xia Lu tells him, “The hare is so lovely. How can we eat it?” Gao Ge must kick her out of annoyance.

As they cannot catch the hare, Gao Ge can only feel sorry and heave a sigh. He walks deeper into the jungle with Xia Lu. Yet, he suddenly feels weird to go into the woods with Xia Lu, as if they are going to do something indecent.

Gao Ge is a down-to-earth man so he always thinks of something very down-to-earth.

The hare ran away but it also gave Gao Ge a reminder. Since they can meet hares here, there must be other animals. Hence, they must be careful.

The hare is a kind of rare beast but it is not aggressive, which doesn’t mean that no dangerous beasts are here.

When Gao Ge is thinking about this, the snowflakes suddenly start to whirl.

A white thin and long creature appears in front of them.

Without thinking, Gao Ge reaches out his hand to strike a punch subconsciously.

Bang. Gao Ge punches the long creature directly.

The long creature is thrown on the ground, motionless.

Xia Lu takes a few steps forward with a surprised face, “It’s a snake!”

As Xia Lu said, it is a white snake, just like the hare they met before, which can almost merge with the snow land.

The snow snake appeared here to catch the hare but the hare was scared away by Gao Ge and Xia Lu. Hence, the snake transfers its target. In fact, even though it kills Gao Ge, it can never swallow him. What a greedy snake!

Xia Lu reaches out her hand and tries to lift the snake. Gao Ge suddenly feels a sense of danger, shouting in a hurry, “Be careful!” Meanwhile, he rushes forward hurriedly. However, he is still too slow. The white snake goes up like a lightning and goes at Xia Lu at an extremely swift speed.

When Gao Ge reaches out his hand to catch the tail of the snake, he hears the scream of Xia Lu. He flies into a rage instantly. His Flying Star Sword appears abruptly and slashes off the head of the snow snake.

He turns around to look at Xia Lu. She covers her wrist with the other hand, who doesn’t look well.

“Are you bitten?” Gao Ge hastens to take a look. Xia Lu releases her hand. A tooth print is clearly seen on her wrist.

After saying that, he raises his head to check on Xia Lu. Her face is becoming black at a visible speed. He grabs Xia Lu’s wrist at once and starts to run his power of stars. As a result, Xia Lu’s blackening face is relieved and yet the poison is still spreading.

“Please forgive me.”

After saying that, Gao Ge reaches out his hand to grab Xia Lu’s arm that is injured. Then he lowers his head to put his mouth on it.

He sucks out a mouthful of blood and spits it onto the snow ground.

To his surprise, when the poisoned blood is spat, it should stain a big area of land with black.

It can tell how toxic the snow snakes are.

When Gao Ge sucks out almost all the poisoned blood, Xia Lu has already passed out.

Gao Ge has no other choice but to hold her up and keep walking forward.

Luckily, Gao Ge finds a cave after walking for a distance.

He carries Xia Lu into the cave without hesitation.

The cave is quite warm. After putting down Xia Lu, Gao Ge also feels dizzy.
