The scene unfolds.
Hu Xue stands up.
She walks in the wind and snow.
The fierce wind and snow whip her hair high.
Her slender figure seems to sway in the wind, as if it could be blown away at any moment.
White snow, combined with the wind, forms layers of snow mist.
Zhang Tian follows behind her.
"Why do we choose to go to the forbidden area at this time?"
Zhang Tian asks.
"Because in the blizzard, very few people pay attention to the outside situation. This is the most suitable time."
"However, you are lucky. You came yesterday, and today you happen to encounter the blizzard."
Hu Xue says, and she walks ahead with nimble steps.
For some reason, even in such heavy snow, it doesn't seem to budge her.
Zhang Tian suspects this is related to the aura he felt earlier.
"Are there any precautions for the forbidden area?"
Zhang Tian asks as he walks.
"This is my first time too, I'm not sure."
"However, according to legend, no one has ever come out alive from inside."
Hu Xue replies, completely clueless.
Zhang Tian touches his cheek.
This guy is truly fearless.
"Since no one can come out, and you're still going, aren't you afraid of death?"
Zhang Tian looks at that white figure.
Dressed in black, standing beside Hu Xue, they look like the Black and White Impermanence.
"I am afraid, but I am even more afraid of being trapped here endlessly."
She looks at Zhang Tian and says.
Zhang Tian nods, understanding her intention.
In a small place, some people might get bored after decades.
But they have been here for thousands of years, and without males, which goes against biological laws.
"Qingqiu, did you not have male foxes before?"
Zhang Tian asks the question he wants to know most.
"It is said there were some a thousand years ago, but they all died going to the forbidden area."
After speaking, Hu Xue falls silent.
Zhang Tian thinks it makes sense, male foxes might have more ambition.
Taking advantage of the blizzard, Zhang Tian and Hu Xue quickly leave the royal palace.
Perhaps due to the absence of war and internal/external conflicts,
the security here is also very lax.
There are basically only two or three guards on duty.
This can be seen from the two guards Zhang Tian encountered upon his arrival.
It's quite surprising that Xiao Baozi could be a guard.
After leaving the royal palace, Hu Xue leads Zhang Tian to the street.
The once bustling city is now completely deserted.
The blizzard rages.
The surrounding houses appear even more blurred.
"Where is the forbidden area located?"
"Outside."
Hu Xue replies.
Zhang Tian is somewhat confused.
He came from outside before, why didn't he see the forbidden area?
With a heart full of doubt, Zhang Tian follows Hu Xue to the city gate.
Hu Xue easily finds a secret passage, and they slip out of the city through it.
It gives the feeling of escaping from the city.
Zhang Tian feels it was unnecessary, he could have simply jumped out with Hu Xue.
But since Hu Xue was leading, Zhang Tian couldn't be bothered to do more.
After leaving the city, the two walk slowly towards the distant Kunlun Mountain.
The wind is strong.
Zhang Tian can only use his internal energy to stabilize himself.
But Hu Xue doesn't need any special means, which Zhang Tian finds very magical.
Zhang Tian notices that Hu Xue's route is basically the same as his arrival.
It's the same small path.
"Could it be that the forbidden area is on the other side of the mountain?"
Thinking this, Hu Xue's face also shows some seriousness.
Her white hair is now covered by the snow and wind.
And snow clings to her body.
She stops walking.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Tian looks at Hu Xue.
"The snow is too heavy, I've lost the route."
Hu Xue says with a hint of helplessness.
As the Queen, she rarely gets out.
Let alone the forbidden area.
She only knows the route, but has never actually been there.
"Tell me the location of the forbidden area, maybe I can take you there."
Zhang Tian says seriously.
He has the strength, and Zhang Tian's memory is excellent; he can basically remember any route at a glance.
"On the mountaintop."
Hu Xue finally reveals the location of the forbidden area.
Zhang Tian feels a jolt in his head.
Good heavens, after searching for so long, you're telling me the exit is overhead?
Feeling a bit frustrated, Zhang Tian can't dwell on it.
"Hold my hand."
Saying this, without waiting for Hu Xue's reaction, Zhang Tian grabs her, and they vanish from their spot.
Walking step by step would be too slow.
It's better to glide up directly.
With Zhang Tian's current strength, he can glide briefly in the air.
But standing in the air like the Queen Mother of the West is still difficult.
"You're flying!"
Hu Xue's eyes widen.
She was initially annoyed by Zhang Tian holding her hand.
But when she saw Zhang Tian fly up, Hu Xue was stunned.
Do foxes really fly, as in the legends?
What kind of fox is this Zhang Tian, to be so powerful!
In the records of the fox tribe, only female foxes have great potential; no one has ever heard of male foxes being so powerful.
Hu Xue's eyes fill with more questions.
At the same time, Zhang Tian becomes increasingly mysterious in her heart.
"It's not flying, it's gliding."
Zhang Tian says.
At the same time, he moves forward against the storm, with great difficulty.
In just a moment, Zhang Tian is standing on the summit of Kunlun Mountain.
Qingqiu City is not far from the summit, and with Zhang Tian's speed, it takes less than three minutes.
However, Zhang Tian's internal energy has been considerably depleted.
Standing on the mountaintop, the wind is noticeably stronger.
Zhang Tian releases his hand.
After all, Hu Xue won't be blown away by the wind.
"This should be the mountaintop."
"You look for the location."
Zhang Tian says, looking at the boundless white expanse, he feels helpless.
Visibility is very low due to the wind and snow, and one wrong step could lead to a fall.
"I remember, it should be in the southwest corner."
"But how can we determine the direction now?"
"If you had told me you had this ability earlier, we wouldn't even need to use the blizzard to escape."
Hu Xue says, feeling annoyed.
If she had known Zhang Tian had this capability,
she would have definitely set out last night.
Now it's like a cow playing on a carousel, the cow is bewildered.
"Southwest corner."
After getting the location, Zhang Tian slowly crouches down.
At the same time, he takes out a whisk.
"What is this? A broom?"
Looking at the whisk Zhang Tian takes out, Hu Xue's eyes show curiosity.
"No, this is a whisk."
"I can use it to determine direction."
Zhang Tian says, and he draws some patterns on the ground.
Following that, a formation pattern appears.
The formation begins to shift.
At the same time, a pointer points to a location.
"The directional formation tells us that southwest is that way."
Saying this, Zhang Tian walks forward.
"I think I've seen this method in historical records. It seems those pesky Taoists... but how can a fox be a Taoist?"
"I must be overthinking it."
Hu Xue thinks to herself and follows behind Zhang Tian.
As expected, after a while, Zhang Tian sees an ancient stone door.
This stone door is similar to the one he saw near the Green-Haired Turtle, but the difference is that this stone door is carved with images of foxes.
"This stone door doesn't seem to be open."
Looking at the dim stone door, Zhang Tian is somewhat troubled. How is this thing supposed to be used?
