National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

"I came here with you!"

Derek is in the middle.

"Our trial is complete and we are here!"

He grinned happily: "I just happened to smell your breath, so I hurried over."

Pamon looked behind him.

"Where are the others? Isn't Tia with you?"

"Tia?" Derek shook his head, "Oh, she runs slowly and is behind."

The wind and snow were so heavy at this time that we couldn't see very far away.

Jiang Yuan and others failed to see Dia.

"Then let's wait..."

"Need not!"

Paimon was about to ask Jiang Yuan to take out the tent. They waited comfortably in the tent for Tia to follow, but they heard Liam suddenly refuse.

"Eh?"

Paimon was startled.

"why?"

"They, they are too slow," Derek said in a slower tone, "Let's take a step first and wait for them to catch up when we reach the destination."

Liam and White nodded.

"But..." Paimon hesitated.

She felt something wasn't right. Was there something wrong with Derek's attitude?

She turned to look at Jiang Yuan, wanting to see if Jiang Yuan had noticed this.

Jiang Yuan's eyes met Paimon briefly, and then fell on Derek.

"That's fine too."

He nodded and took out the sled he had been using from his backpack.

"what is this?"

Derek tilted his head.

"You don't recognize it? This is a sled!" Paimon felt that something was even more wrong.

"Derek, you only have food in your mind, right?" Jiang Yuan laughed and hung the sled rope on Derek, "Didn't you think this was fun before?"

"what……"

Derek moved uncomfortably with the rope hanging on his body.

"I remembered."

Even Burns, who was not very familiar with Derek and the other three, realized the problem.

Jiang Yuan seemed not to notice the problem.

"How about it? Remember it? Are you still interested in it? If not, let's walk!"

"I'm interested!" Liam on the side came over and motioned for Jiang Yuan to hang a rope on him, "I'll come too!"

There was no shortage of ropes on the sled. After White asked Jiang Yuan to hang up the rope, it looked very interesting to see the three big dogs dragging a sled behind them.

"Okay, let's go up!"

Jiang Yuan waved and took the lead in getting on the sled.

The sled is specially customized, so if you have an extra Burns, you don’t have to worry about not being able to fit in it.

Paimon looked at the three idiots on the sled who were obviously not right, then at Jiang Yuan who was on the sled, and flew onto the sled.

"Wait," Burns was about to say something when Thunder Hammer easily carried him onto the sled.

"Are you ready?" Derek asked in a rather impatient tone.

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Yuan did not hesitate, "You can go!"

A group of people started on the road.

With transportation tools, people can move forward much faster.

The three canine beastmen with warm and long fur ran as if they could not feel the wind in front of them at all, and they were extremely happy.

The clothes of the people sitting on the sled were thick enough and they did not feel the cold.

But that didn't make Burns' furrowed eyebrows relax.

"Jiang Yuan, haven't you noticed..."

The speed increased, and the wind roared louder in his ears, blowing Burns's voice into a blur.

Jiang Yuan shook his head at Burns: "We'll talk about it later."

Everyone else had noticed it, and the barrage on the light screen was reminding him. Why couldn't he find it?

He didn't say it directly, of course he had his own considerations.

……

The sky turned dark and gloomy unknowingly, which made people feel depressed.

The wind near the snow-capped mountains became stronger, and Paimon grabbed Jiang Yuan's clothes to prevent them from being blown away. Jiang Yuan changed clothes, and she was unable to grab the familiar scarf. At the same time, Jiang Yuan did not have to go through the scarf closing process. A tragedy that resulted in suffocation.

"arrive."

Derek waited for the three orcs to stop.

They arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

The snow-capped mountains here are not an isolated one, but a series of mountains. The one they are approaching is the tallest among them.

Other snow-capped mountains surround it on either side.

"It's very fast."

Jiang Yuan jumped off the sled and put it back in his backpack.

"Thank you for leading the way."

"You're welcome. Do we still need to say thank you to each other?"

"Of course, we are strangers after all!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Derek" stiffened: "Did you notice?"

"It's not me, it's us." Jiang Yuan put one hand on Burns' shoulder and the other on Thunder Hammer's arm, not forgetting to raise his eyes to look at Paimon, "We all found out."

When he first saw Derek and the three of them, he thought they had found a way to get here. Xiao Songqing had done this before.

But the "Derrick Three" were not good at acting and had loopholes in their speech. He quickly realized that something was wrong.

"If you find something wrong with me, will you still follow us here?"

"Derek" stopped pretending.

The snow-covered wind blew over, and large snowflakes rotated to cover the bodies of the "Derek trio".

When the snowflakes were blown away by the wind, their figures reappeared.

What appeared in front of Jiang Yuan and others were three magical creatures with skin as white as ice and snow.

They are human-shaped in appearance, with hair, eyes, and even eyelashes as white as snow.

Paired with skin of the same color, in this world of ice and snow, it looks like a transparent ghost in the snowy mountains.

"Our original destination is here. Wouldn't it be nice if someone came here quickly?" Jiang Yuan expressed his true thoughts, "So I want to say thank you to you."

"you are welcome."

The person who replied to Jiang Yuan was still the creature who took care of me, Derek.

"We need your help."

Neither its voice nor its appearance indicate gender, its voice is erratic and its tone is calm.

"What's the business?" Pamon asked cautiously.

"We need your bodies and energy to feed our gods."

"What do you mean? Do you want to leave us here?"

"You will live together with the snow-capped mountains forever, and if you are lucky, you will become our kind." The creature opposite used a declarative sentence, and his tone did not fluctuate.

Suddenly there was a vibration that passed through the snow and reached everyone's feet from behind.

Looking back, they saw a snow-capped mountain standing on the road they came on.

The snow-capped mountains are connected one after another, with no gaps big enough for people to pass through, only differences in height.

They were surrounded by snowy mountains.

If you want to leave, there are two ways. One is to climb over the snow-capped mountains, and the other is to fly out.

Jiang Yuan happens to have light wings and can fly, but he has no intention of doing so.

Isn't this plot part of the trial? Why do we need to escape?

"What is your god? Snow god? Mountain god? Or ghost god?"

He was interested and showed no signs of nervousness.

"If you need to sacrifice, he must not be a good god." Paimon guessed.
