As the largest continent in the known world, Eminole is not only vast in size, but also the most complex in terms of topography.

In the north there are the Mesis Mountains and the snowfields beneath the mountains, in the east there are Gobi deserts and vast sand seas, in the middle are hilly areas, and in the hinterland are the Flower Plains, the Enchanted Forests and several wide rivers, where the confluence of the rivers forms several large swamps.

The southern side of the continent is surrounded by rainforests and savannahs.

Further south, there is the world-famous Holy Snow Mountain, which is a natural landscape that is hard to imagine in the tropics. The highest peak of the Holy Snow Mountain is 7,107 meters above sea level, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Below 1,000 meters above sea level, it is still a typical broad-leaved rainforest, above 1,000 meters and below 2,000 meters, it is a typical broad-leaved temperate forest, and above 2,000 meters above sea level, below 3,500 meters, a large number of spruces grow under umbrellas, towering into the clouds. Above 3,500 meters, it is difficult to see any more flora and fauna after entering the snow line.

The Shengxue Mountain Range is in a circular shape, stretching for more than 2,000 miles, with a basin at an altitude of 2,000 meters in the middle. The mountains in the east, north, and north are surrounded by three countries: the Amy Empire, the Hughes Empire, and the Haiha Mercenary Empire. Beneath the steep cliffs on the south side is the sea.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Strange Talks

Chapter 10: Challenging the Snow Line

Early the next morning, all the Phantom Beast Knight Trialists gathered at the south gate of Scambray City, and each of them received their own Phantom Beast Realm and was assigned a comfortable carriage to transport the Phantom Beast for long distances. According to the practice of the past years, these phantom beast knights are the hope of the future empire, so the imperial Gyeonggi general specially sent two brigades of knights to escort this trial.

80% of the journey from Imperial Dìdū Scambrai to the Holy Snow Mountain is the Sangan River Continental Highway, which is much smoother and wider than the Frozen Continent Longya Mountain Highway. The carriage traveled very fast on it, and in just 10 days, it came to the foot of the Holy Snow Mountain, which was 1,500 miles away, and saw the figure of the Snow Mountain floating in the clouds from a distance.

Almost all Phantom Beast Knight Cultivators are accompanied by relatives and friends, especially the children of the nobles, and the Lin family and the Chi family can't avoid this bad habit, after all, caring is messy. Count Lin and his wife both came to see off their daughter in person and their daughter's friend Sha Ruo; in addition to the Duke of the Chi family, the title is too high, as the president of the army, it seems that it is too embarrassing for the place to come in person. Chi Hanfeng, Rege, Amy, Daqingshan, Horns and others are all here.

When it was still 50 miles away from the Holy Snow Mountain, a long wooden and stone fence more than 3 meters high was set up on the flat ground, and spread infinitely on both sides. There are imperial knights patrolling in the fence, and when they saw the knight brigade escorting them, a phantom beast knight riding a dragon on the ground greeted them, carefully looked at the military talisman issued by the Redstone Emperor, and motioned to the sergeant behind to open the entrance to the fence.

The knight brigade was automatically divided into 31 small units, leading the 31 knights to advance in different directions. Of course, Lin Yusheng, Sha Ruo, and Chi Aotian also have different directions. From this point on, the families of all knights were kept outside the fence, and even many people who were noble counts and respected generals could not enter.

Looking at the backs of Lin Yusheng, Sha Ruo, and Chi Aotian, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing out of sight, Chi Hanfeng and the others returned to the specially set up tent, and as soon as they sat down, Count Lin and his wife came to visit. Taking this opportunity, Amy, Daqingshan, and Horns raised a series of questions about the Phantom Beast Knight trial.

Chi Hanfeng himself is a phantom beast knight, and Count Lin also happens to be a phantom beast knight, so of course he is very familiar with these issues.

The so-called phantom beast trial is a process that makes the phantom beast trust the knight 100%, and finally in the blood pool of the phantom beast paradise, the phantom beast is reborn and obtains higher abilities.

So how do you get the phantom beast to recognize its master?

There are many kinds of phantom beasts, there are some phantom beasts, xìng are violent, like to attack humans, if you want to get the approval of these phantom beasts, it is almost very difficult, and some phantom beasts, it is easy to identify with humans, but it is not a good thing, it is easy to identify with a human, and it must be easy to identify with other humans.

After repeated testing, the early phantom zoologists finally discovered that all beasts, after birth, tend to regard the moving objects they see at first sight as their mothers, and follow him from then on, and their death will not change. In this way, the Phantom Beast Illusory Realm was born, and all the alternative Phantom Beasts were immediately put into the Phantom Realm after they were born, and gave him a feeling of sleep, as if he was still in the mother's body. Even if the mother animal is fed nǎi, the nǎi water is introduced into the phantom realm through special equipment to feed.

Through short-term observation, once it is determined that this little phantom beast's ability is indeed extraordinary, it is determined that it can come to participate in the phantom beast trial.

After these illusions were brought to the Holy Snow Mountain by the knights, each knight was assigned a passage that would never have a second human appear, and the so-called passage was to add a guide sign to the place where the Holy Snow Mountain seemed to have a road but there was no road, guiding the Phantom Beast Knight to lead the Phantom Beast to the Phantom Beast Holy Garden.

Under the passage, after the knight confirms that everyone has left, he opens the illusion and releases the phantom beast so that the phantom beast will think that the person in front of him is his mother. Then the Phantom Beast Knight led the little Phantom Beast to challenge the Holy Snow Mountain with an average altitude of 4,000 meters, and for more than 10 days, they ate and slept together, establishing a trust that could not be separated.

The Holy Snow Mountain stretches for 2,000 miles, of which the Amy Empire alone has 1,200 miles of mountainous areas, and the other two empires have less than 1,000 miles at the junction of the Holy Snow Mountain.

Over the past few hundred years, the Empire has sent people to survey new pathways every year, and the following two conditions must be met to qualify for the new pathways:

1. According to the nearest passageway, the straight-line distance should not be less than 15 miles, because the sight of some eagle phantom beasts can directly see 15 miles away. However, if it is confirmed that there are always mountain peaks blocking the way, it can be appropriately reduced to 10 miles.

2. The path can't be too difficult to walk, because some phantom beasts are produced in the tropics, and they can't adapt to this cold at all, and the phantom beast rider not only serves the obstacles brought by the ice and snow, but also pays attention to keeping the phantom beast warm, and also holds the phantom beast forward, which is very difficult, so the road can't be too difficult.

At present, there are a total of 42 Phantom Beast Pathways that have been discovered by the Empire, of which 31 are occupied by the Empire itself, 6 are allocated to the Hami people, 4 are allocated to the Holy Desert Empire, and 1 is spare. The other two countries bordering the Holy Snow Mountain also gave some Phantom Beast Pathways to friendly countries that provided Phantom Beasts.

"And what if you meet someone?" Amy asked worriedly.

Chi Hanfeng touched his nose: This kind of thing will not happen, the Phantom Beast Knight has a guide for every step, and the surrounding area of the Holy Snow Mountain is jointly built by the three countries for protection, and there are heavy guards to guard it, it is forbidden for anyone to enter, once it is found that someone has broken into the Holy Snow Mountain, it can be cut first.

The next day, Lin Yushang had already accompanied the imperial knights to the mountains at an altitude of 2,000 meters, where the road had disappeared.

According to the phantom beast trial instructions provided by the empire, Lin Yushang had to wait for the soldiers to leave for an hour before opening the illusion realm, otherwise his phantom beast might see other people. Taking advantage of this time, according to the information provided in the Phantom Beast Trial Instructions, Lin Yushang found the replenishment place for the first day's provisions, and took out the food that had been refrigerated with freezing magic in advance.

After confirming that it had been an hour and ten years, Lin Yushang successfully opened the illusion world according to the method taught in the trial instructions, and a small unicorn crawled out of it, about 1.2 meters high, under the sun, the snow-white hair shè shè shè colorful light, it looked at Lin Yushang hesitantly, blinked its big brown eyes, and slowly gently pressed against Lin Yusheng's body with a small horn that was only one foot long.

Oh, what an interesting little guy, Lin Yushang laughed, holding the unicorn's face with one hand, and touching its slender horn with the other, which was still soft. She couldn't help but put her face on the unicorn's face.

The girl's sweet smile completely dispelled the unicorn's doubts, and it seemed to be very happy, licking Lin Yusheng's face with its pink tongue, and its body kept rubbing against Lin Yusheng's legs.

After making out with the unicorn for a while, Lin Yushang took out some soaked beans and fed the little guy to eat, and then beckoned it to start a difficult journey to the Holy Snow Mountain together.

Perhaps due to the high altitude, the density of the forest is not very large, and the sunlight shines through the treetops. Lin Yushang tickled the little guy with her hand while chatting with it.

"Hey, pretty little horn, what's your name?"

"Hmph--" The unicorn snorted.

"Ha, your name is Hunter?" Lin Yushang tilted his head and thought for a while, "This name is not good, why don't I give you a name?"

"Hmph--special--"

"Your name is ...... Snow white, how's it going?"

"Hmph--special--"

"Okay, you agreed, don't go back, it's called Baixue. Huh--"

soft, green chūn, laughter, beautiful girl;

Elegant, sacred, handsome, unicorn;

Tree yīn, sunshine, wind, holy snow mountain;

It constitutes a beauty that is difficult to describe.

At the same moment, 200 miles away, Sha Ruo also opened the illusion world in front of him. Why didn't the little phoenix come out after waiting for two minutes? It couldn't be that she was holding her breath, Sha Ruo hurriedly stretched out her hand to the mouth of the illusion world, wanting to help her up and take a look.

Suddenly, a small bird's beak poked out, and the vermilion beak carefully pecked Sha Ruo's pink palm, and for a moment, Sha Ruo felt that his palm seemed to be electrified, heh, what kind of feeling is this, it really looks like a child scratching an itch in his palm.

The bird's beak pecked twice more, and found that there was no danger outside, and the whole bird's head poked out, and the crown-shaped feather crown on the bird's head bounced out of the small exit of the illusionary world, and the feather crown shone in the sunlight, and then the whole body and the large and extremely beautiful tail feathers also came out, and it tilted its head to look at Sha Ruo, and slowly flapped its wings.

This beautiful phoenix is still very large, with its wings spread out, about 1.1 meters long, and it can be known from the yellow flesh of a young bird that has just been born for a long time.

Sha Ruo was afraid of scaring it, smiled, slowly stretched out his hand, stroked its gorgeous silk feathers from the phoenix's head downward, and picked up the prepared food with his other hand and slowly handed it to the phoenix's head. Phoenix looked at it suspiciously, pecked tentatively, ate it slowly, and found that it tasted really good. Flapping his wings and flying onto Sharuo's shoulder, he immediately buried his head and began to eat.

Sha Ruo is a very quiet girl, but it feels really good to see the bird's head constantly poking down from her shoulder, and feeling the phoenix constantly grabbing her shoulder in order to balance her body when she eats.

Ahead, there is a very obvious sign every 10 meters, and every 500 meters under the sign is clearly written: this should be the approximate section of the road for the first few days, and how far it is from the next supply point.

Sha Ruo here, mainly in the alpine grassland, the flat grass is full of flowers, Sha Ruo is happy sometimes to run a few steps, the phoenix is driven by the wind, spread its wings and glide in the air for a distance before landing on the ground.

Occasionally, you can see towering straight spruce trees, which are so thick that two or three people may not be able to carry them.

Walking on the plateau, if you go too fast, it is easy to feel lack of oxygen and dizziness, Sha Ruo also slowly has these reflections, according to the instructions written, she put her steps, at about 4:00 in the afternoon, Sha Ruo arrived at the first camp on time, behind the big stone that made a clear mark, Sha Ruo found the tent and food and other items bound by magic.

The tent was easily set up, and then, Sha Ruo dug a pit outside the tent and set up a bonfire, and the sky slowly turned dark, and by the time the flames rose, it was already completely dark. Sha Ruo leaned on the stone, caressing the little phoenix lying on his body, looking at the bright starry sky in the distant sky through the flames rising in front of him and the sparks fluttering upwards—on the plateau, the stars he saw were so clear that he could almost clearly see some beautiful little stars twinkling and blinking.

The barbecue on the bonfire hissed, the meat oil continued to drip down, and the scene in front of him immediately reminded Sha Ruo of the same bonfire in the Hami Empire not long ago, and the honest boy next to the bonfire, he always did everything alone, and in the end, he kept the best meat for himself.

The girl smiled, her lips moved slightly, showing a smile that seemed to be a smile, and slowly touched her feet with her hands.
