Chapter 463
Squeeze
Taihe and Mountain Wind tribes arrived on the third day after Flaming Horn’s arrival. At that point, the blanket of snow on the ground was already five meters tall.
The blizzard stopped for a day, but now it started again, more brutal than the first day.
The cold wind blew and whistled, cutting against their faces like knives. Even the self-proclaimed hardened Flaming Horn warriors were unwilling to head out unless it was their turn to stand guard. They rested inside the cave.
Firewood was running low in the cave. Other than when they cooked porridge, they burned little wood. Zheng Luo brought some men to survey the area around the mines. Other than the other two caves that were already sealed off by thick snow and rocks, the Fox and Shen caves were guarded very heavily. It was going to be difficult to raid it. Not wanting to waste his manpower for nothing, Zheng Luo returned after observing them for a while.
When Zheng Luo received news that Taihe and Mountain Wind had finally arrived, he was holding the first piece of fire crystal that they mined. He was very emotional.
Before they mined it, he and the rest had already sensed its presence. It proved that there were crystals underground, just too deep and the salt affected their senses. After much effort, they finally did it. He could not stay calm.
“Taihe?” Once he heard the messenger who had hurried in, he finally looked up from the piece of crystal as big as his fingernail and regained his composure.
Outside the cave, the layer of snow was now six meters deep, compared to five this morning. It was still snowing and did not look like it was about to stop soon.
