CHAPTER 931: CHAPTER 907: FOUND

Jiang Xiaoxiao returned with a bundle of firewood.

Just so stubborn, the firewood is taller than her.

Then she saw the wide-open cave entrance, with a cold wind swirling snow onto the ground.

Inside the cave, none of the four people were there, their backpacks scattered everywhere, along with already congealed blood stains.

The firewood on Jiang Xiaoxiao’s shoulder fell to the ground, and the cave was littered with many footprints. At the time, many people must have appeared here. Had she not left, she wouldn’t have been directly rounded up.

However, slightly relieved by the sight of the bloodstains, it seems the injury wasn’t serious; it should have been just one person injured.

The others were merely taken away.

It’s been an hour since she left and returned.

Quickly chasing after them, the wind and snow had long erased all traces.

Jiang Xiaoxiao focused her gaze into the distance, still unable to see any clues, even though her eyes could see far.

Jiang Xiaoxiao lit a fire, ate a bowl of noodles, her stomach full, and body warm.

But her heart grew cold.

Not a single teammate left, now she’s all alone in a predicament.

Look for them!?

How easy it sounds.

In this blizzard, with no target, she’s not a deity.

Where to look!

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt disheartened. All four of them were inexperienced kids, and now they were practically in a den of tigers.

A silent night.

The next day.

The miraculous wind ceased, but the snow continued to fall.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t sit still; delaying like this, the fate of the four remains unknown.

A few days is a short time, but they still have quite a bond.

Ignoring them is impossible.

She can’t do it.

Help?!

How to help?

Without knowing their location.

Jiang Xiaoxiao set off, the snow wasn’t an issue; she had to see if there were any traces.

Starting from the cave, walking along a gentle slope, she saw a piece of torn cloth hanging on a tree branch! Fluttering in the wind.

Jiang Xiaoxiao grabbed it.

It was clothing from Xiao Yue.

Seems the route is correct; Xiao Yue used her brain.

Despite being plump, her mind isn’t lacking at all.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pressed on down the path, walking fifty meters and saw another piece of cloth.

This time, turning directions, she headed uphill.

Jiang Xiaoxiao focused her gaze.

Wasn’t this the direction of those mountain houses they saw yesterday?

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed the path; thirty meters later she saw more cloth.

The direction seems right.

In the mist, a house appeared before her.

Not just a house, as she continued, the village came into view.

"Stop! Who are you? What do you want?"

A stern shout.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw a person suddenly appear from the snow pile, aiming a gun at her.

A gun!?

Isn’t this a parallel world? Doesn’t the law differ here?

They’re not allowed to use firearms!

She raised her hands, cautiously.

"I’m lost and want to find a place to wait out the snow."

Her voice crisp, carrying a hint of girlish charm.

The man holding the gun wore all white, hard to distinguish were it not for Jiang Xiaoxiao’s excellent vision.

Almost blending with the icy landscape, yet showing no signs of shivering, he stared at her suspiciously.

"Lost? In this blizzard, what is a young girl like you doing in the mountains? This is the range closest to Kunlun Mountain; ordinary people wouldn’t come here. What are you doing here?"

Clearly not ready to believe Jiang Xiaoxiao’s excuse.

"I’m a student from the Medicine God Academy, originally came to report then got lost, or maybe you could let me call the school."

A straightforward student tone, eager for assistance.

A flash of surprise in the man’s eyes.

Though his expression turned serious, Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed.

Yet Jiang Xiaoxiao knew they must be here.

"Follow me! You students really go everywhere! Let’s go!"

The man walked behind Jiang Xiaoxiao, as Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly moved forward.

Soon, they reached the house ahead.

"Fifth Brother, tell the village chief there’s a student from the Medicine God Academy here, probably with those other students."

"Another one?"

The voice was both surprised and pleased.

"Boss, my classmates are here; can I be with them?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked excitedly, the image of a pure student.

The person inside, with a rugged beard and fleshy face, glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "I’ll take you to the back, see if they’re your classmates!"

In the back room, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw several people, but Wu Yang and the others weren’t there.

However, those she saw greeted Jiang Xiaoxiao excitedly.

"Hao Ruxue, you made it! Thankfully, we owe these fellows, or we would’ve frozen to death in the mountains."

The two men exchanged glances, looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "You’re Hao Ruxue?"

"I’m Hao Ruxue, thank you all for rescuing my classmates. Thank you, thank you!"

The man hesitated, "Are you the Hao Ruxue who crafted the Super Grade elixir?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Boss! I am Hao Ruxue, the Super Grade elixir was accidentally crafted, no big deal, no big deal."

Shy smile, just like a school kid.

"Alright, go inside; I’ll take you to see the village chief later."

The man closed the door.

Jiang Xiaoxiao listened, the man outside made no moves, didn’t even lock the door.

However, she saw earlier the cottages were centrally located in this village, meaning those inside would find it hard to escape without being spotted.

Several of them held Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Hao Ruxue, why are you here? You wouldn’t believe the problems we faced along the way. Two classmates died, no idea if there’s a monster here; that night we slept fine, but next morning, that classmate was dead beside me.

It’s terrifying. Death was particularly gruesome, like they were drained of blood."

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked for details, finding out these people had already lost two members, both girls.

Their deaths resembled Guo Ruqi’s, seemingly drained of blood, but strangely, that night, the classmate slept right beside her, both side by side.

If there had been such a commotion, she would have known, and none of the others heard anything.

Jiang Xiaoxiao inquired more about their situation.

These five students only arrived at this village a day ago, about the same time as Jiang Xiaoxiao.

They were discovered and brought here.

Inside, the cottage was warm, food was provided, and they felt the locals were kind.

Aside from being less communicative, they treated the students well.

Jiang Xiaoxiao gazed at the falling snow outside, and finally, two hundred meters away, she saw Wu Yang and the others locked in a basement.

Wu Yang, head injured, now bandaged, lay drowsily on a bed.

On two other beds, three girls sat huddled.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed in relief, glad to have found them.
