Overnight on a hillside below the snow line.

It's only September, and the temperature is still generally high, but it's very cold on the high-altitude slopes.

However, the group knew that it was impossible to find the Snow God Palace in a day or two, so they all brought travel sleeping bags.

It's just that the last time I went in and out of the desert twice in a row, the two jade hummingbirds were quite tired. What's more, this time she was going to be active in such a high-altitude area, Ding Lingling was afraid that the two jade hummingbirds would not be able to bear it, so she didn't bring the two little birds with her.

Since these two highly alert birds are missing, they can only discuss taking turns to keep vigil at night.

There was no vigil for the first two nights, because according to Guide Yuan's words, such high-altitude beasts were extremely rare, and there were many of them in their group, so it was unlikely that there would be wild beasts attacking at night.

But today, when I saw such a series of big footprints, several people were not sure, and finally decided to have several men take turns to keep vigil.

A few people lit the fire with the dry wood they had picked up, and then Jack was on the first shift, and the others were about to lie down and rest, when suddenly a howl came to their ears.

This howl was not the same as the strange roar I heard yesterday, it was not as sharp as the strange roar of yesterday, but it was low and deep.

Several people were shocked to come to their senses, and they all asked Guide Yuan what kind of monster was calling.

Guide Yuan said: "This is the sacred beast in the mountain, Xuehu, we can often hear its cry in the mountains, but it is elusive, and there are very few people who have really seen it!"

"Snow Tiger, is it a snow leopard?" asked Hongxing.

"It's not a snow leopard, it's a snow amber!" Guide Yuan solemnly corrected, "And it's not a tiger, it's a tiger, it's that kind of ...... Amber amber! Because legend has it that its whole body is as white and shiny as white jade, so we mountain people call it Snow Amber!"

All the people present had heard of the creature "Snow Amber" for the first time, and Chu Mingyu said: "Speaking of snowmen before, it is already a big unsolved case in the biological world, because no one dares to say that snowmen must exist......! Xue Amber, could it be that there are really so many magical species in this snowy mountain?"

"It can't be said that it's impossible!" Ding Lingling said, "After all, in the Gongga Snow Mountain Area, there are nearly 100 species of rare plants alone, and nearly 500 species of alpine animals and forest animals, including extremely rare snow leopards and snow sheep!

Everyone else nodded their heads. Chen Xiaopang said: "Lingling is right! Including the Golden Pupil Condor, isn't it an extremely rare species? The biological world does not seem to recognize the existence of the Golden Pupil Condor, but the fact is that the Golden Pupil Condor does exist, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary mortal birds!"

Several people said "yes" again, but Poplar couldn't help but sigh loudly, looking at the dark sky, and once again began to miss the golden pupil condor.

Chu Mingyu had asked in detail about the Golden Pupil Divine Condor, but now when he heard Chen Xiaopang mention it, he couldn't help but be fascinated and said: "I knew that last time I was going to follow my uncle into the desert no matter what, if I could raise a Golden Pupil Condor, what a majestic thing it would be! It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to enter the Taklamakan Desert again, I just hope that we can catch a snow amber to play!"

"You want to catch a snow amber, how is that possible?" Guide Yuan immediately called out, "That's a snow-capped mountain beast, I heard that once it starts to get angry, it will cause an avalanche and ice avalanche! Legend has it that even the guardian god of the goddess of snow has to walk around when he sees it! You actually want to ...... Catch a snow amber, if you really want to have this kind of thought, I don't dare to go with you!"

"She just said it casually, she can't take it seriously!" Poplar hurriedly said, "Think about it, since it's a divine beast, with us mortals, how can we catch it?"

"Yes, yes, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously!" Chu Mingyu followed, making a playful grimace at Guide Yuan.

Guide Yuan originally took extra care of a few beauties, but seeing Chu Mingyu's expression, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

After that, a rotating vigil was arranged, while the others lay down to rest.

Poplar is the highest kung fu of all people, and he is also the group leader, so he took the initiative to take on the most difficult shift from one point to three o'clock.

Before one o'clock, Jack and Iron Bull were on duty. After three o'clock, Chen Xiaopang was on duty.

It's just that the time is too early, and everyone else is still talking in a low voice, but Bai Yang has been practicing qigong since he was a child, and as he meditates on his inner breath, he soon falls asleep.

But Poplar knew that Tie Niu's personality was rough, and he was afraid that he would doze off after twelve o'clock, and since he was worried about it, the result was just after twelve o'clock, and Poplar was shocked and sober.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Tie Niu was really a little dazed, and Bai Yang hurriedly whispered to him to lie down in a sleeping bag to rest.

There wasn't that much politeness between the brothers, and Tie Niu smiled heavily, and slipped into his sleeping bag comfortably.

Poplar stood up and turned around slightly.

The night on the high mountain was even more cold and bone-shattering, and Bai Yang was about to sit down cross-legged while practicing the night at the same time, when he suddenly felt some horror surging up his body.

Suddenly he turned back, but saw a tall shadow standing on the top of the hillside in the bleak moonlight, as if staring at him.

Poplar looked at it carefully, but the shadow seemed unwilling to meet him directly, and suddenly the shadow flickered, and it had already turned away, and the tall figure fell quickly towards the other side of the hillside.

Poplar shouted, "Get up, old black!" and he spread his steps and ran up to the top of the hill.

The Iron Bull had just lay down, and had not yet fallen asleep, when he was called by the poplar, he immediately woke up and sat up, and when he turned his head to look, the poplar had already run up the slope.

At this time, it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crooked moon hangs in the sky, and the light moonlight swayes down, reflecting the snow-capped mountains in the distance, which is even more desolate and cold.

The poplar stood upright at the top of the slope and looked carefully at the other side of the hillside, but saw the shadow flickering and disappeared in the bend of the mountain.

It was a white figure, estimated to be at least three meters tall, according to Aspen estimates.

In other words, this figure should be the "guardian god" in Guide Yuan's mouth.

As for whether this "guardian god" is a legendary snowman, it is difficult to deduce.

Poplar breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to step down the slope to return to the camping place, when again, there was a shudder that enveloped his body.

Poplar immediately turned his head, almost exclaiming.

But under the moonlight, there were several gray-white shadows, silently approaching him.

It was a wolf, but it was not an ordinary mountain wolf, but a white-haired snow wolf.

Ordinary wolf poplars have seen a lot, but the snow wolf has only heard Guide Yuan mention it, and he didn't expect to be hit by him tonight.

Except for the white fur on his body, the snow wolf was almost the same as an ordinary mountain wolf, with the same pointed mouth and the same gloomy eyes.

And like the mountain wolves, the snow wolves seem to have a habit of hunting in groups, and the poplars counted a little, and there were a full eight snow wolves that were slowly approaching him at the moment.

But the size of these snow wolves is much larger than that of ordinary mountain wolves, especially the leading one, which is at least more than two meters long and weighs less than two hundred catties, but more than one hundred and seventy catties.

The seven snow wolves that followed behind, even if they were the smallest ones, would not weigh less than one hundred and thirty pounds.

Bai Yang couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, he just got up and exercised, and did not hold the black sword in his hand, and the size of the snow wolf is so huge, he has no problem dealing with one or two with his bare hands, but if he has to deal with the whole eight, I am afraid that he is still a little powerless.

He knew the habits of wolves, and if he turned and fled, the wolves would chase after him.

So he could only stand calmly on the slope, staring at the leading snow wolf with his eyes.

The wolf's eyes met the moonlight, radiating a cold light, and suddenly he roared, and Poplar thought that the wolf was going to pounce, and was gathering all his strength to fight back.

I didn't want the wolf to pounce forward, but instead took half a step back. But the two snow wolves behind it rose up at the same time and flew towards the poplars.

This change came suddenly, and the head wolf, who was only guarded by others, would definitely not be able to avoid the pounce of these two snow wolves.

But Poplar is not an ordinary person who can compare, suddenly saw a shadow flash, Poplar immediately leaned to avoid the snow wolf on the left, and at the same time swung out his right fist, and smashed an uppercut into the chin of the snow wolf on the right.

The snow wolf's huge mouth was about to bite Poplar's shoulder, and he didn't watch out for a heavy punch in his chin, and suddenly fell out with a miserable howl.

The wolf reacted very quickly, and suddenly saw that the two snow wolves failed to do anything to the poplar, and the wolf immediately dispatched and bit the poplar's waist and crotch.

At the same time, several other snow wolves also pounced on them from several sides.

Each of the snow wolves was larger than an adult, and its agility and agility were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Therefore, if other people fall into such a situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death.

But Poplar is not an ordinary person after all, he shouted loudly in a critical moment, and his feet rose sharply, not only dodging a few snow wolves that pounced on his legs and feet, but also turned sharply in mid-air, "pounced" twice, and the two snow wolves that pounced on his upper body were kicked out by him with a miserable howl.
