Chapter 1061 White Tiger Meets White Tiger
Monkey Brother?
Lin Qiye instantly recognized the figure departing on the cloud, his pupils contracting slightly as he turned to tell the others:
“Keep the new recruits steady, I’ll be right back.”
As his words fell, a cloud of mist rolled out beneath Lin Qiye’s feet, carrying his form as he rapidly gave chase.
Seeing Lin Qiye leave, Baili Pangpang and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat serious.
“Where are the new recruits now?”
“The fastest ones have already reached the foot of Mount Gongge’er, the slower ones probably still have about half a day’s journey.”
“During this critical period, we should be more cautious,” An Qingyu pondered for a moment before quickly giving orders. “Currently all new recruits are spread between Mount Gongge’er and Kayush Border Defense Company. Since there are more recruits at the border company, I’ll go there with Jiang Er and Cao Yuan to maintain order. Pangpang, you stay with Brother Zhuai to guard the recruits at Mount Gongge’er.
If anything happens, contact by radio.”
“Understood.”
No one had any objections to An Qingyu’s arrangements. They immediately split into two groups and flew off in different directions.
…
At the foot of Mount Gongge’er.
Fang Mo planted his boots in the thick snow, slowly pulling them out as he struggled forward, an unnatural flush appearing on his pale face.
After several days of trekking, even he was reaching his limit. The cold, low pressure, extreme physical exertion, plus insufficient caloric intake from food had pushed his body to the brink.
He stumbled and fell into the snow. The cold snow covering his face continuously drew away his body heat, and a feeling of suffocation welled up.
As he struggled to push himself up with both arms, just as he was about to stand, a strong hand grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him completely out of the snow.
“Huff…”
Fang Mo sat in the snow and turned to look, slightly startled.
He saw a one-eyed young man wearing a dust-covered cold-weather jacket standing behind him, coldly looking down at him.
“Lu Baoyou?” Fang Mo asked in surprise. “You really caught up?”
“I said I would definitely come back,” Lu Baoyou said flatly, his single eye narrowing slightly. “As for you… at your speed, you shouldn’t have only gotten this far after so much time. Were you deliberately slowing down?”
Feeling the murderous intent in Lu Baoyou’s eyes, Fang Mo immediately shook his head.
“No, I just found something along the way and went somewhere else, so I took a detour coming back.”
Fang Mo was telling the truth. If he hadn’t caught the scent of the Kunlun Void entrance midway and changed his route to take a big detour, he would have at least climbed halfway up Mount Gongge’er by now.
Lu Baoyou snorted but said nothing.
He withdrew his gaze from Fang Mo and stepped toward Mount Gongge’er in the distance, coldly saying without looking back:
“Since we’re back at the same starting line, let’s compete again… this time, I absolutely won’t lose.”
Hearing these words, Fang Mo was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The fighting spirit reignited in his tired eyes as he shakily stood up and took a deep breath. “Fine, let’s compete again!”
He stubbornly took a step forward, following closely behind Lu Baoyou.
Just then, a rainbow light streaked across the sky above them. The light seemed to notice something, made a slight sound of surprise, and curved in the air, heading straight toward Fang Mo at the foot of Mount Gongge’er.
Sensing the divine power emanating from the rainbow light, Fang Mo’s expression immediately changed!
“A god?!”
But soon, he detected a familiar aura within it.
Thump thump thump—!
Before Fang Mo could react, Lu Baoyou, who was walking several steps ahead, narrowed his eyes, turned back, and rushed to Fang Mo’s side through the snow, drawing the straight knife from his waist with a clang.
Lu Baoyou’s blade pointed directly at the divine figure landing in the snow, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs.
Fang Mo stood frozen in place.
“Strange…”
From the rainbow light, a Taoist riding a heterochromatic white tiger slowly emerged. He dismounted onto the snow, looking at Fang Mo with puzzled eyes, then glanced at the white tiger beside him. “How do you have the aura of a white tiger on you…”
The heterochromatic white tiger and Fang Mo locked eyes, both with bewildered expressions.
Who am I? Where am I? Who is he?
Seemingly noticing Lu Baoyou’s killing intent, Jade Tripod True Person turned to look at him, his brow slightly furrowing.
“An Outer God’s proxy… a spy who infiltrated my Great Xia?”
Under Jade Tripod True Person’s pressure, Lu Baoyou’s knife-holding hand was covered in sweat. He gripped the handle tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.
When Fang Mo’s gaze moved from the white tiger to the Taoist’s face, his expression turned to delight. He respectfully bowed and was about to say something when a figure emerged from the blizzard behind them.
“Hehehe, so it’s Jade Tripod True Person.”
A fat man wearing a deep red cloak walked in front of Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou, rubbing his hands excitedly as he spoke, “Baili Pangpang of the [Nightfall] squad, greets Jade Tripod True Person.”
Hearing the words “Jade Tripod True Person,” Lu Baoyou behind him was stunned.
He carefully examined the Taoist before him, his heart filled with shock. This ordinary-looking man was actually one of the Twelve Golden Immortals from Great Xia’s mythology?
While he was secretly astonished, Baili Pangpang in front of him had already reached out to push down his knife, while turning to Jade Tripod True Person with a smile:
“True Person, this child means no harm, he’s just an impetuous junior… please don’t take offense.”
The moment Baili Pangpang appeared, Jade Tripod True Person’s gaze had completely shifted from Lu Baoyou to him, as if pinned there, unable to move away in the slightest.
Jade Tripod True Person was stunned for a moment, then shock appeared in his eyes:
“You are…”
“True Person,” before he could finish, Baili Pangpang spoke again, “Listen, the thunder is rumbling in the west.”
Rumble—!
Deep thunder came from the direction of the misty western border. Jade Tripod True Person turned to look and saw the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess standing in the clouds, using thunderbolts to strike the mist entity, yet unable to stop its spread at all.
Jade Tripod True Person looked back and stared at Baili Pangpang for a long time, as if understanding something, and nodded:
“I see… then, I shall take my leave.”
With those words, he raised his hand in a Taoist salute, mounted the white tiger again, and flew toward the distant mist as a rainbow light.
After Jade Tripod True Person’s figure completely disappeared from view, Baili Pangpang patted the snow off his deep red cloak, turned to look at Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou, and smiled slightly:
“Alright, you two continue. I’ll wait for you at the peak of Mount Gongge’er.”
