315: Under the Great Snow Mountains

Under the Great Snow Mountains

The Great Snow Mountains outside of Five Moon City was originally devoid of any human presence around it aside from the Holy Water Sect. 1

After all, it constantly snowed in the Great Snow Mountains all year long and was exceptionally cold, so it was actually not suitable for human inhabitation.

However, in recent years, many villagers continued to move to the base of the Great Snow Mountains and resided near the Holy Water Sect.

The reason was none other than the fact that living near the Great Snow Mountains guaranteed safety.

Zombies were nearly nonexistent at the base of the Great Snow Mountains. If they saw one on an off chance, they just had to immediately report it to the Holy Water Sect, and the sect would instantly send disciples to eradicate all of the danger in the vicinity.

Life in this world was difficult, and the common people desired nothing but a peaceful and safe life.

In these recent years, some of the plants and animals in the countryside and wild started mutating, except for the area around the Great Snow Mountains. Whether it was the plants or the animals, they all stayed the same.

Hence, regardless of how cold the Great Snow Mountains were, after the news traveled, many citizens of the Qiu Kingdom and villagers of nearby tribes were willing to move out of the city and make a new home at the base of the Great Snow Mountains.

As a result, a decently sized village had formed at the base of the Great Snow Mountains, and the villagers named it Xianghe Village to represent the peace and auspiciousness they hoped for inside.

This evening, all the men and women who had traveled into the mountain early that morning to hunt for prey and forage for plants and fruits returned to the village.

Although the Great Snow Mountains was encased in deep snow all year long, there were quite a number of edible things. Such a prosperous supply from the wild caused the villagers who lived here to feel extremely blessed.

As twilight dawned, the villagers were all leading their children home after a day of labor.

On the main mountainous road, there were three ragged and exhausted figures, one person slightly ahead of the other two, slowly treading a long string of footsteps on the snow.

A few children curiously peered at them but were immediately carried home by their parents.

A young girl, who was crouching outside her house and playing with the snow, stood up while dusting off the snow from her hands. She blinked and suddenly pointed at the trio, candidly asking, "Mother, didn't those three people fly up the mountain while riding a giant bird this morning? Why are they walking down now—MMM."

The child's mouth was quickly covered by her mother. The child's mother did not dare to stir any trouble at all and hastily carried her child inside the house, closing the door promptly after.

When these three people appeared this morning, they had zealously shown off their might at Xianghe Village.

Quan Daodong specially ordered the green-headed eagle to circle above Xianghe Village several times so that those ignorant villagers could admire and worship them.

Hence, many villagers recognized them now.

"U-um, old man…" Quan Daodong wanted to say something as he wearily walked up, utterly exhausted.

However, the elderly man Quan Daodong stopped promptly slammed the door shut with a bang, his face pale with fright.

Every family simultaneously retreated into their homes and closed their door shut. Not a single person dared to respond to them.

Getting nothing but the cold shoulder, Quan Daodong was livid with rage and wished for nothing more than to fly off the handle and kill those audacious villagers this instant.

However, he knew those would be very serious actions and that the Myriad Faction would come under attack from all sides. Not only would the Three Sects punish them but every righteous sect and knightly hero in the entire Sikong Planet might also hunt them down.

He freaking just wanted to ask for some water to drink from some villager's home and possibly even stay the night there so that they could leave tomorrow morning!

Now though, looking at the securely closed doors of all the houses in this village, Quan Daodong was incensed!
