Capítulo 1653: Chapter 1598: Avalanche (Part 4)

Song Xiaodong said: “This is certainly a major reason, and there are other reasons as well, such as physical factors. During an avalanche, when a person is pushed and struck by the snow, it’s not something an average person can withstand. Our True Qi is strong, allowing us to avoid injury. Additionally, our resistance to cold, snow excavation ability, and even oxygen consumption—all these could be fatal factors.”

Chu Xianling said: “That’s true, I neglected the fact that ordinary people don’t have physiques like ours.”

Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and said: “Actually, there’s another important factor, which is luck.”

Chu Xianling couldn’t help but laugh and said: “So do we have good luck, or bad luck?”

“It should be considered good luck. The two of us managed to kill a Three Meridians True Qi expert, and still survived under the avalanche. Wouldn’t you say that’s lucky enough?”

“That’s true. The strength of that person just now was indeed extraordinary. If it weren’t for your perfect plan, we would really have no chance of killing such a person.”

“Luck played a part too. If the avalanche hadn’t occurred suddenly, that elder wouldn’t have lost his wits or gotten distracted. If he wanted to escape, it would have been very difficult for us to stop him.”

This is an undisputed fact. Without the help of the avalanche, even if Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling had pushed that elder into dire straits, it would have been exceedingly difficult to eliminate him.

The two chatted while digging through the snow, and before they knew it, more than three hours had passed.

Despite their extraordinary physical endurance, they were feeling somewhat fatigued. Song Xiaodong scooped up a handful of snow and held it in his mouth. A chill spread from his mouth throughout his body, truly a bone-chilling sensation.

Chu Xianling did the same, then exhaled a cold breath and said: “We’ve dug quite far now, but why does it feel like there’s still no end in sight?”

While digging the snow, Song Xiaodong had been using his Perception Ability, but up to now, he still hadn’t sensed the surface above. This meant the snow above was at least six to seven meters thick.

However, Song Xiaodong remained calm and said: “For an avalanche to stop, it must be on a gentle slope. On such a large snow mountain, the quantity of snow is certainly substantial, and we don’t even know how large the area is. As long as we find the right direction and keep digging, we’ll eventually get out.”

“Yes, I understand. We’re certainly not lacking water right now, but we don’t have food. While it might not be a problem in the short term, if it takes too long, we might starve to death.”

This is indeed a very realistic problem. Truthfully, Song Xiaodong didn’t know how much longer they would need to dig to get out.

Chu Xianling is not a pessimist, though. She said: “Anyway, we can only keep digging for now. I believe the two of us won’t end up trapped here.”

The two of them dug for another two hours before Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling both suddenly stopped in silence.

“What’s going on? Why has it turned into a downhill?” Chu Xianling whispered.

Song Xiaodong frowned and said: “Yeah, it was uphill all this time, so why has it suddenly turned downhill?”

Chu Xianling thought for a moment and said: “Could it be a gentle slope? Once we reach the bottom, we might be able to go uphill again?”

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched slightly and said: “It’s best if that’s the case.”

Actually, he wasn’t sure anymore. If things were as Chu Xianling said, it would be fine. But if it was the opposite, they might be digging downward continuously, and the further down they went, the thicker the snow would be, making it even harder to get out.
