But Bai Rong didn't stop, it continued to run forward rapidly.
And Lu Taobao, like a kite, swung in the air with the flick of Bai Rong's tail.
"Ah, ah, ah, why aren't you putting me down?"
Lu Taobao's high-pitched cry, amidst the swirling snowflakes, didn't cause much of a stir.
Only Yizhiye and Namu Zhong looked at him with lingering fear.
"Fortunately, I suddenly remembered that this Bai Rong seems very much like a demonic beast from the Holy Spirit Continent; it must be fast when running, otherwise..."
Yizhiye's words were left unfinished, but Shen Xiaoyan and Zheng Wei exchanged a glance.
Otherwise, they would probably be flying in the air like Lu Taobao right now.
"How did you guess?" Zheng Wei asked Shen Xiaoyan.
Shen Xiaoyan smiled mysteriously and said, "I was just thinking, if this Bai Rong's attack power isn't high, then it must have strong escape abilities to survive."
Zheng Wei understood instantly.
Bai Rong ran even faster. Fortunately, it slowed down halfway and put Lu Taobao on its back; otherwise, even if he wasn't thrown off, Lu Taobao's fate wouldn't have been much better.
Even after being put down, Lu Taobao took a while to recover.
When he finally came to his senses, he immediately looked at Shen Xiaoyan and the others indignantly, "What's wrong with you guys? How could you just watch me get flung around in the air? Do you think it's flying a kite!"
Facing Lu Taobao's accusations, Shen Xiaoyan and the others just smiled and remained silent.
If you don't believe it yourself and are a step too late, who can you blame?
"From now on, you must remember one thing: following your sister-in-law is the right way, and you'll have meat to eat. Understand?"
Zheng Wei, rarely joking, was met with a serious nod from Lu Taobao, "You're right. From now on, sister-in-law's words are my imperial decree. If she tells me to go east, I'll go east; if she tells me to go west, I'll go west."
He finally understood that not listening to his sister-in-law's words would lead to immediate losses.
But, where were they going?
"Where are we going?" Namu Zhong looked around. The surroundings were a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to discern directions.
Shen Xiaoyan was also taken aback. They hadn't told Bai Rong where they wanted to go.
"Bai Rong, where are we going?"
Shen Xiaoyan called out loudly, but Bai Rong seemed not to have heard, continuing to gallop forward.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Xiaoyan suddenly felt like she was about to fall off Bai Rong's back. In her fear, she clutched the fur on Bai Rong's back even tighter.
"What's going on?"
Shen Xiaoyan's words seemed to be directed at Zheng Wei and the others beside her, or perhaps at herself.
But no matter who she asked, there was no answer.
Casually turning her head to look to the side, she realized they were ascending a mountain.
Where was this Bai Rong taking them?
Even with a sense of unease, none of them spoke up.
No matter what they had to face next, all they could do was wait.
Shen Xiaoyan silently counted the time, wondering how high the mountain was. It took another three hours before Bai Rong finally stopped.
The moment Bai Rong lay down on the ground, Shen Xiaoyan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
It was truly not easy to survive in such a situation.
Furthermore, Bai Rong's stamina was incredible, having carried all five of them and run like this for a whole day.
Yes, the sky had already begun to darken.
The group sat up and looked around, only to discover they had reached the summit.
Lu Taobao thought about jumping off Bai Rong's back to check out their surroundings.
But after only a few steps, he quickly retreated.
Zheng Wei looked at him, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Lu Taobao clutched his chest, his face full of lingering fear, and pointed to one side of Bai Rong, "That's a cliff."
What?
Shen Xiaoyan's eyes widened instantly at the words. Even Zheng Wei and Yizhiye's faces turned quite grim.
They exchanged a glance and cautiously moved a few steps in the direction Lu Taobao pointed, peered over, and indeed saw a bottomless abyss.
With Zheng Wei's confirmation, Shen Xiaoyan's expression grew serious.
However, thinking about it from another perspective, it was normal to have a cliff on one side if they had reached the summit.
But after Yizhiye and Zheng Wei had surveyed the remaining three sides, her slight relief vanished completely.
The other three sides, except for the path they had ascended, were also bottomless cliffs.
And the path up the mountain was incredibly steep.
Below the vertical rock face, about twelve meters down, was a foothold.
But that platform was pitifully small; one wrong move and they would be doomed.
It could be said that they were now on the brink of death. If Bai Rong made even a slight misstep, they would all be shattered.
Shen Xiaoyan touched her heart, trying to calm her racing pulse.
"Bai Rong, can we discuss something? It's so cold on this mountaintop, why don't we go back?"
Lu Taobao squatted on Bai Rong's neck and cautiously proposed.
Unfortunately, after muttering to himself for a long time, Bai Rong didn't even grunt.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at the white fur beneath her feet and after a long pause said, "Bai Rong, what do you want? Just say it."
The only response to Shen Xiaoyan was boundless silence.
Zheng Wei gently patted Shen Xiaoyan's shoulder, "Mimi, it's okay. Let's eat something first."
As soon as Zheng Wei finished speaking, Shen Xiaoyan and the others felt Bai Rong beneath them stir.
Lu Taobao was startled by the sudden tremor and cried out loudly.
When he realized there was no danger, he managed to quiet himself.
However, Shen Xiaoyan's heart stirred due to Bai Rong's sudden movement.
Bai Rong had ignored her earlier, but reacted after hearing Zheng Wei's words.
And what Zheng Wei had said...
was about food!
To verify her guess, Shen Xiaoyan immediately asked Luoluo to retrieve food from the spatial dimension.
As the aroma of food filled the air, Bai Rong's reaction became even more intense.
Knowing her guess was correct, Shen Xiaoyan said directly, "You want to eat? But how can I give it to you? There's nowhere to put it. Why don't you take us down the mountain, and I'll let you eat your fill, okay?"
Bai Rong did not reply, but Shen Xiaoyan felt a lightness in her hand.
Looking in surprise, she saw Bai Rong's long tail had actually coiled around the food in her hand and taken it away.
Then, Shen Xiaoyan and the others saw that the already very long tail somehow became even longer, eventually delivering the food directly to Bai Rong's mouth.
"It can do that?"
Lu Taobao exclaimed in surprise, while Shen Xiaoyan and the others were also full of shock.
After Bai Rong finished eating, Shen Xiaoyan spoke to it again, but as expected, there was no response.
