[Finally rescued, I was so scared...]
[Holy crap, holy crap, handsome guy, super handsome guy! That waist, those legs, that face, that aura, Mom, I've finally found the father of my future children!]
[Why are you so far away? Hurry up on the optical computer, get closer, I can't lick it properly from this far away!]
[Is this divine power? Is this the Snow God? Or the Changbai Mountain God?]
[Do immortals wear modern clothes like this?]
[What are you analyzing? Lick first! I'll take a screenshot as a sign of respect!]
[Damn it, how dare this brat sneak away! No martial ethics!]
As if sensing the audience's intense emotions, the live broadcast optical computer slowly floated forward.
Zhang Qiling only saw the unknown object approaching him, and while on guard, he noticed that some text seemed to be flashing rapidly on it, appearing to be Chinese.
Just as he was about to try and identify it, Wu Tianzhen suddenly pounced like a hungry tiger, covering the screen.
Zhang Qiling: ...
He turned and left.
The time wasted here was already too long; he needed to continue his mission quickly.
As for this person, he should be able to return on his own soon.
Wu Tianzhen had finally managed to block the lewd words on the screen, and before he could even sigh in relief, he saw his savior leaving without looking back.
Although this place was very dangerous, and he had almost lost his life just now, to be honest, both the bizarre large dough ball and the powerful and clear Zhang Qiling had intensely stimulated his curiosity.
He was naturally very curious, otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned his family business to become a forbidden land exploration streamer with an extremely high mortality rate.
He was thinking about all sorts of random things when he realized he had already chased after him, chattering away with introductions.
"...So my name is Wu Tianzhen, Tianzhen Wuxie's Tianzhen, but actually I'm not that innocent. By the way, what's your name, benefactor? Can I go with you? Speaking of which, I really think this place is too dangerous. I encountered those monsters as soon as I arrived, benefactor, what are you doing here..."
"Shut up."
Zhang Qiling suddenly stopped. Wu Tianzhen thought he had annoyed him and quickly covered his mouth. Just as he was about to apologize, he noticed Zhang Qiling concentrating with his eyes closed, as if listening to something.
"Crack, crack—"
Zhang Qiling's eyes snapped open.
"Avalanche, run!"
As soon as he spoke, he had already swept past like a gust of wind.
Wu Tianzhen stood there dumbfounded, carefully reviewing the three words in his mind.
Avalanche, run...
Avalanche...
Avalanche???
He looked back frame by frame, and sure enough, the snow on the opposite mountaintop had already cascaded down, reaching not far from him in an instant.
Only then did his ears belatedly catch the roar of the avalanche.
Flying snow: Hello, little brother!
Running Wu Tianzhen: Don't come near meeeeeee!!!
Mom, is this Changbai Mountain or a marathon venue!
Wu Tianzhen hadn't even caught his breath from the previous run before this one began, so he felt like he was about to collapse after only a couple of steps.
The surroundings were all mountain walls, and he was stepping into the snow with each stride. He felt like he couldn't see anything in the vast expanse of white, as if he were blind.
Just as he thought this, his feet gave way, and with a slight cracking sound, Wu Tianzhen felt his body suddenly fall.
Snow cave!!!
The concept flashed through his mind, but the inertia of his falling body could not be stopped!
With a snow cave below and an avalanche behind, this was truly a situation of certain death!
In an instant, Wu Tianzhen's life flashed before his eyes. After a jumbled mess of thoughts, a nonsensical idea suddenly popped into his head.
...It seems I still haven't asked his name.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of immense force on his collar. After the familiar dizziness, Wu Tianzhen opened his eyes, seeing stars, only to find that Zhang Qiling, who had appeared out of nowhere, had once again grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into a hidden cave nearby.
The cave was deep and narrow. The avalanche roared past the cave entrance like a tide. After a moment of earth-shattering noise, everything returned to calm, and Wu Tianzhen's ears were still ringing.
Zhang Qiling calmly glanced at the still dazed unlucky fellow and found a corner to sit down on his own.
There might be aftershocks after a major avalanche, so it wasn't a wise decision to go out now.
After a long while, Wu Tianzhen had somewhat recovered. His ears were still buzzing, but he could faintly hear sounds now.
He looked around, only to find that the mysterious young man was now sitting quietly in a dark corner, his head slightly tilted, gazing fixedly at the cave ceiling. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that his gaze was unfocused, clearly just spacing out.
He patted the optical computer and was surprised to find that, apart from a bit of snow on it, it was completely fine. Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but smirk.
...It's such good quality, won't it still be broken when I'm long gone?
He felt complicated.
[Good heavens, Wu Tianzhen is here for extreme survival.]
[Is he really an immortal? How can he appear and disappear so mysteriously?]
[But he's so handsome. You guys didn't see it just now, the lines of his arm when he was carrying Wu Tianzhen, slurp!]
[Hurry up and ask for his name, Wu Tianzhen! Hurry, my household registration book is already thirsty!]
Seeing the comments, Wu Tianzhen's forehead creased. He walked towards Zhang Qiling, but couldn't help but mutter to himself.
...Thinking about household registration books is all well and good, but I met him first, so if anyone's household registration book is to be used, it should be mine. What does it have to do with you guys in the comments?
Wait, pfft, pfft, what household registration book, I'm being led astray by the comments.
With a hint of inexplicable guilt, Wu Tianzhen crept closer, stammering, unsure of how to phrase his words.
Zhang Qiling was startled by the movement beside him. He glanced at Wu Tianzhen, who was doing something unknown, and carefully felt the vibrations nearby.
It should be safe now.
Thinking this, he stood up, walked past Wu Tianzhen, who was still squatting, and after some thought, he said something.
"Let's go."
Unexpectedly, Wu Tianzhen's mind was a mess, and his ears were still ringing like drums. He couldn't understand anything. After carefully trying to decipher it, he suddenly had an epiphany.
"What's kuaizhou?"
"Kuaizhou?"
"Little brother, do you want to eat congee?"
He suddenly became excited, feeling this was a great opportunity to get closer!
"It's okay, I've got it covered! After we get out, don't just say Kuaizhou, I'll treat you to any congee you want – handsome congee, beautiful congee, ugly congee!"
Zhang Qiling: ...
When he grabbed his collar just now, he hadn't controlled his strength well and had hit his head on a rock?
