Longevity Begins with Internal Organs

Chapter 658: Chapter 391: Escaping Danger, Preparing to Return

"Have we... made it out?"

Some people still couldn’t believe it, but whether it was the starry sky above or the solid ground underfoot, everything unmistakably told them.

They had indeed made it out!

In an instant, someone was weeping with joy, then they lay down on the ground with a thud, savoring the moment of peace after surviving the disaster.

Others looked back, only to see a gigantic storm raging in the distance.

That was the direction they had come from.

Thinking about how this group of people had managed to survive such a terrible blizzard, some felt a profound sense of gratitude.

Because they knew, at any other time, they wouldn’t have survived.

Either they would have lost their way and trapped themselves in the storm, or they would have frozen to death in the extreme cold.

And now, their rescue was largely thanks to one person.

Thinking of this, many looked forward with gratitude in their eyes.

There, a tall and graceful young man was talking with Kong Xiangdong and others.

"Can you determine our current position?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Let me try!" replied a chubby man beside him, immediately pulling out a map from his bosom and spreading it out on the ground.

The map detailed the Northern Realm Snowfield extensively, marking where the mountains and Exotic Beasts could be found, very clearly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya couldn’t help but feel moved.

Because this map was exceptionally valuable.

Especially for those who made their living in the Northern Realm Snowfield, it was an irreplaceable treasure.

Yet here this chubby man openly spread it out in front of everyone, showing a bit of nerve.

At this moment, the tavern owner Yang Zhan couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Shi Laohei, isn’t this map your lifeline? Usually, you won’t even let others take a glance. Why be so generous today?"

This man was the leader of a coastal team by the Wuyang Sea, named Shi Laohei.

However, compared to Kong Xiangdong, his strength and reputation were much less, and he had fewer people under him.

But even so, he could still earn substantial rewards annually.

The reason, besides his frugality, largely came from this map.

Upon hearing Yang Zhan’s teasing, Shi Laohei glared.

"What are you saying? My life was saved only because of this young lord’s help; this map is nothing. If the young lord likes it, I wouldn’t mind giving it to him!"

These words were heartfelt, leaving Yang Zhan slightly embarrassed.

Shi Laohei then respectfully cupped his fists towards Zhao Ya.

"Master, I’m a rough person and won’t say anything grand. You saved me this time; if you ever need my help in the future, just say the word, and I’ll do my best."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Ya’s response, he lowered his head and began to search on the map.

A moment later, he stood up again, examining the surrounding terrain and the starry sky, finally pointing to a spot on the map. freёweɓnovel.com

"Everyone, if I’m not mistaken, we should be here now."

The crowd followed his gesture and then breathed a collective sigh of relief.

According to the map, although their current location was quite remote, it wasn’t far from the Great Snow Mountain.

It was a blessing in disguise.

If they had gone in the wrong direction and ended up somewhere else, they would have had to traverse the entire snowfield to escape, which would have been much more dangerous.

The people stayed in place to rest for a bit.

Just then, shadows of many animals appeared in the distance.

In a flash, the people, who had just calmed down, tensed up again.

Because anything appearing on the snowfield at this time of day wasn’t ordinary.

Unlike the panicked crowd, Zhao Ya remained calm.

"Don’t panic; they should just be passing by," Zhao Ya said in a deep voice.

Hearing that, the restless crowd gradually calmed down.

Without realizing it, Zhao Ya had built up enormous prestige among these people. freewēbnoveℓ.com

As these animals gradually appeared in front of them, many people were astounded.

Because the composition of these animals was incredibly complex.

Snow Wolves, Human-faced Bears, Spiked Crocodiles... a mixture of various Exotic Beasts walked together without any conflict, harmoniously.

In the past, something like this was impossible, as the battles between Exotic Beasts were far more brutal than those between humans, especially between adversarial species that would fight to the death upon meeting.

But now, this scene happened extraordinarily in front of everyone, naturally leaving them amazed.

Zhao Ya stood at the front of the group, watching these Exotic Beasts pass by slowly, feeling a bit sentimental.

Even native species had nothing to do under such sudden disasters but evacuate.

Soon, these Exotic Beasts that had escaped dispersed, disappearing into the vast snowfield.

"Let’s go; prolonging our stay will only make it colder. Let’s leave the snowfield while there’s still some warmth," Kong Xiangdong said.

No one had any objections.

Even though the difficult trek just now had greatly exhausted everyone, in order to survive, they gritted their teeth, stood up, and began to walk out one step at a time.
