Chapter 185: Catching a Big Fish

hich just shows how powerful it was.Although Mu Shaofeng wasn't Jiang Yun, he knew very well that if he was captured by these people, they would only need to search his soul to find Jiang Yun's wherea...A middle-aged beauty strode over from afar. Her once beautiful face was now filled with anger as she glanced at Jiang Yun before fixing her gaze on Xueqing.

For the hostility that Jiang Yun displayed, he could understand. So he didn't open his mouth to explain, but a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Because, this middle-aged woman wasn't just unwelcome; she was deliberately targeting Xueqing.

Xueqing also released the four children she was holding, and respectfully bowed to the middle-aged woman. She said softly, "Auntie, this is Yunshan Daoist friend, who happened to pass by here..."

"Be bold!" Before Xueqing could finish her words, the beautiful woman interrupted angrily: "Xueqing, our Snow Clan's dwelling place has always been hidden. Now you bring a stranger in, don't you want to kill us all"

The beauty's voice was extremely loud, almost reaching every corner of the valley. This caused people to continuously emerge from the snow houses and rush towards here.

Gradually, more and more people gathered, regardless of gender or age. Everyone was strikingly handsome, and all eyes were fixed on Jiang Yun.

Some wore expressions of curiosity, others of caution, and still others of confusion.

They seem to have rarely, if ever, encountered outsiders.

And Jiang Yun stood there, allowing these Snow Clan members to inspect him while also observing them.

Gradually, a hint of puzzlement flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes because he discovered that all the snow tribe members had completely white eyes.

That is to say, among the Snow Clan, it seems that only Xueqing's eyes are a completely different blue compared to everyone else.

At this moment, Xueqing once again softly spoke, “Aunt! Just now, four demons attacked Qing'er. It was Yun Dao-you who saved Qing'er’s life!”

"Saved your life! Hmph!"

The beautiful woman still insisted, "I've told you so many times, things are chaotic right now. Your skills are too low, stay out of trouble and don't go running around. Even if you have good intentions, you might accidentally make things worse!"

"Again!" the beautiful woman pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "Who knows if this man is working with those demons who attacked you! Maybe this is their ruse! Just to make you grateful, and then lure them into my Xue clan!"

Under the intimidating presence of the American woman, Xueqing closed her mouth and dared not speak again.

Jiang Yun frowned, just about to speak up for herself and Xue Qing, when a frail voice came from afar: "Alright, Qing'er is well-intentioned. If we continue talking, it would be considered rude. Qing'er, you should take this fellow Taoist around here."

The aged voice sounded, causing the middle-aged beauty's face to still grimace with displeasure, but she did not say anything more. She simply glared fiercely at Xueqing once before turning and leaving.

Not until she was far away did Xueqing rush to Jiangyun and apologetically say, "I'm sorry. Although my aunt has a bit of a temper, she means well. Please don't take it to heart."

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded. "I understand!"

"The one who was just speaking was my grandfather, also our Xue clan's patriarch."

"Speaking of this, Xue Qing's face showed a hint of sadness and said: "He is getting old, his movements are not very convenient, so he can't come in person. Yun Daoist friend, let me take you around here!"

Ginger Cloud didn't speak again, following Xueqing behind. Under the gazes of many Snow Clan members, they gradually walked farther away.

And with the departure of Jiang Yun, those snow tribe members also gradually dispersed.

Adults all returned to their respective snow houses, while the young children cheered and rushed to a corner of the valley.

There, there was an ice cave about a meter in diameter, with wisps of cold mist rising inside.

At first, Jiang Yun didn't pay attention. It wasn't until he saw seven or eight children each holding a stick of varying lengths and extending them into the cave that Jiang Yun realized there was likely water inside.

And the games these children played, Ginger Cloud had also played as a child - fishing.

In ginger village, not many people like to fish.

Because fishing requires patience, it's far less exhilarating than hunting ferocious beasts. Therefore, only Jiang Yun and his grandfather would frequently go fishing.

And looking at these children before him, chattering away one moment, and the next putting down their twigs to chase each other around before returning to fishing, Jiang Yun couldn't help but smile.

No matter how chaotic the outside world may be, and no matter when danger might strike, at least within this valley, in this homeland of the Snow Clan, these children remain carefree and innocent.

In their hearts, this valley perpetually covered in snow and ice, surrounded by formations, was their home, the safest place where they could let loose.

Seeing Jiang Yun gazing at those children, Xueqing naturally also stopped her steps, a smile appearing on her face as well. "This ice cave," she said, "is said to be connected to the sea, and all sorts of sea fish often appear inside, along with some strange and unusual things."

"Children don't have much to do on a daily basis, so when they are free, they come here to fish and pass the time."

This statement did surprise Ginger Cloud a bit, because he hadn't expected that a cave in the valley could be connected to the sea.

Wouldn't that mean the depth of this hole goes straight through the entire mountain

Although Gingercloud didn't know how tall the mountain she was on was, she figured that since the cave was so deep, the mountain must be very long.

Just then, a boy's stick suddenly plunged downward.

The child's face lit up with surprise in an instant. He hurriedly stretched out his hands and gripped the branch tightly, while calling to his companion beside him: "There's a fish on the hook! It's a big one, come help!"

Several other children hurriedly put down the twigs in their hands and ran to the boy's side. One by one, they reached out and grabbed the twig, helping him with all their might to lift it up.

Every child's face was lit with excitement, for from the branch that bent almost to breaking point, it was clear that this fish would be a big one.

Not far away, several adult snow tribes were smiling as they watched the scene. Apparently, they often saw this kind of situation and were already used to it.

But Ginger Cloud's brows furrowed slightly, because he distinctly felt a faint trace of demonic energy emanating from the cave and slowly drifting upward.

It's perfectly normal for there to be demonic energy here, what's abnormal is that deep within the ice cave, there's even more demonic energy, rapidly condensing from all directions.

To Jiang Yun, it felt like a massive number of demons were entering this ice cave through the sea, one after another, desperately trying to jump out and into this mountain valley.

Because Gingercloud is a human and also a monster-refining master, he is extremely sensitive to demonic energy. Therefore, he could detect it, but the other snow tribe members apparently hadn't noticed.

"Not good!"

Ginger Cloud's face changed abruptly, and as soon as she spoke, her entire person took a step forward and arrived beside the group of children.

With a single wave of his sleeve, the surrounding snow rose into the air, transforming into a snow dragon that enveloped the children's bodies, gently carrying them away to a distant place.

And he himself, however, reached out a hand and grasped the branch, letting out a breath and saying in a loud voice: “Rise!”

Jiangyun's power was immense, but at this moment, despite his full effort, the branch remained motionless. It didn't even show any signs of breaking.

This made Ginger Cloud realize something was amiss. The fish these children had caught were probably not ordinary ones, but something unknown and potentially dangerous.

For example—the tribes that live in the sea!
