Chapter 27: The Avalanche
"Ahh
The breeze touched the sensitive pores, so Xiao Qiongyugu sneezed loudly. Sifei's saliva condensed into scattered ice crystals in mid-air, and was blown away by the white mist that erupted from his mouth, Xiao Qiong rubbed her frozen red nose, and at the same time hot tears flowed from the corners of her dry eyes.
"What the damn weather," Joan cursed, feeling her skin tear from the rough movements again.
He groped for a round iron box from his thick cotton coat, bit off his bloated gloves with his teeth, opened the lid, scraped a large piece of ointment from the box, and smeared it on his rough face.
The effect of rubbing and ointment made his face warm again, and Xiao Qiong let out a long breath, and the hand that had removed the gloves reached into his pocket.
"Just smoke a cigarette," he thought
He reached into his thick pocket and dug deep with his fingers, and in a moment his fingertips touched the crumpled paper package of the cigarette.
He pulled out his pocket with his cigarette between his fingers.
"Aha!" Xiao Qiong chuckled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth were squeezed together because of the smile. He pulled out a metal lighter, shook it vigorously, and then lit the flame with a pop.
The crumpled and twisted cigarette approached the flames, and the butt of the cigarette snapped up, and the smoke came out of the chapped lips under the thick beard.
The smoke curls and mixes with the cold that has just condensed, and it transpires and condenses. Xiao Qiong squinted slightly, enjoying the clouds.
Although in the Fourth Shinobi War, the Snow Country developed rapidly, but the weak population base made the Snow Country armed
The strength has not been strong.
The night watchmen who are regarded as the backbone of the snow country are actually weaker than the vast majority of ninja village ninjas in their individual combat ability.
The reason why Snow Country can be ranked among the world's great powers is partly because of the activity of high-end combat forces such as Ghost Lantern Suigetsu, and partly because of the mercenary system supported by strong economic capabilities.
Mercenaries from all over the world are working for the Snow Country!
In the midst of war, the night watchmen who only practiced the three-body art and fought with guns often only played the role of issuing tasks and delivering commissions.
During the UN meeting, the number of night watchmen was limited, and the night watchmen were only responsible for guarding the area around the floating city, while the larger territory was handed over to mercenaries like Joan who only worked for money.
Smoking a cigarette and feeding a mouthful of soju to her mouth, Xiao Qiong hummed happily. This time, the garrison mission is expensive, and it is coming to an end, and soon Xiao Qiong will be able to return to that warm city upstairs with a beautiful woman.
A wisp of wind blew into the dark castle, and Xiao Qiong soon found that she could no longer smoke cigarettes, and the snowflakes brought by the cold wind extinguished the cigarette butts.
"Hmm...... Is it snowing again?"
Joan pushed the cigarette butt into the snow wall and put on her thick gloves again.
The snow clouds obscured the hot sun, and the sky became dark, and the cold wind was cold, and Xiao Qiong shivered.
He squinted, and through the snowflakes, he saw that the mountains in the distance seemed to have white surging downward.
After more than ten seconds, he heard a continuous rumbling sound
"Avalanche?" thought to Joan. "I don't think it will spread to this far."
For Joan, who had been living in the south before, the avalanche was a novel experience.
So he picked up the binoculars he had hung around his neck and leaned closer to his eyes.
First, I saw the blurry surge, and after slowly adjusting the focal length, the picture gradually became clearer.
He saw......
Above the white earth
In the midst of the white wind and snow
White overwhelming "monsters"
White smoke fluttering with vibrations
Like an avalanche
Rush towards him!
