The team stopped by the lake at the mountain pass, and Ye Bai asked the Jiang siblings to get off the cattle and rest.

The lake has dried up, and the water quality is yellow-orange. There are dead trees around it, and it is a dead atmosphere.

There are many black-necked waterbirds in the lake, flying south in groups without being disturbed.

These birds are not migratory birds. They flew away from this lake where they have lived for a long time. It is possible that there was an avalanche in the mountains, which frightened them.

But there seems to be no sign of an avalanche at the moment.

The only possibility is that it is a sign of the coming cold wave.

Ye Bai thought of what Wu Ji had said before leaving, that you must be careful of the cold wave when going deep into the snowy mountains.

Cold wave is a natural climate change around the snow-capped mountains.

Once a cold wave comes, the temperature drops sharply. If people and animals stay in the cold wave for too long without measures to keep warm, they will instantly lose consciousness and turn into ice sculptures.

Many experienced snow mountain guides were caught in the cold wave and froze to death.

Seeing Ye Bai raising his head and staring at the flying birds in the distance, Jiang Chanyi's dark and delicate face came closer.

"Ye Bai, what's wrong?"

"Wear more clothes when you enter the mountains later. Be careful of a sudden cold wave, and... don't stay too far away from me."

"Oh."

Jiang Chanyi nodded obediently, and unknowingly, she would obey and do whatever Ye Bai said along the way.

The snow-capped mountains in front of the three people have a high altitude, and the tops of the mountains are covered with a lot of snow. Walking through the valley can easily trigger an avalanche.

Before leaving, Wu Ji told everyone about a valley and depression, from where you can walk through the snow-capped mountains.

But this depression is also a dangerous no-man's land, and is called "Zanggugou" by the locals.

The origin of Zanggugou is unknown. The reason why it is called this is because this is the place where animals in the mountains commit suicide. Every year, a large number of yellow sheep, bison, Tibetan horses and bears come here to commit suicide, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

The bottom of the ditch is filled with bones. Every night, blue will-o'-the-wisps are everywhere, and no one who is brave enough dares to go near this place.

Ye Bai got off the cow and led the yak slowly into the Zanggu Valley. The Jiang family brothers followed suit and followed Ye Bai.

The reason why this place is called a ditch rather than a valley is because the terrain is too narrow and complicated, with cliffs cut like knives and axes on both sides. Looking up, there is only a sliver of sky.

The ditch is full of rocks and weeds, and mixed with it are many white corpses, mostly those of cattle and sheep.

Some bones have been exposed to the wind for hundreds of years and are dry and brittle. Some bones are still fresh and have been eaten by many mosquitoes, flies and maggots.

It is extremely cool in the ditch, and the temperature is much lower than at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Ye Bai didn't speak, and the Jiang siblings naturally didn't dare to make any noise. The three of them walked slowly in the ditch.

About a quarter of the way, night had fallen, Ye Bai couldn't find a suitable place to camp, and the four yaks were already starting to get a little restless.

"Let's camp here."

Ye Bai found a place where a few dead trees were gathered, where they would not be hit by falling rocks on the mountain top, and asked the Jiang family to set up tents and bury pots to boil water.

There was a lot of dry firewood here, but there was no shortage of bonfire fuel. Jiang Chanyi added a lot of firewood into the bonfire, and the flames were blazing, making the three people's faces turn red.

"Ye Bai, isn't this place haunted? Why do I feel so cold?"

"All the dead animals here are animals, there will be no ghosts."

"But I still feel like something is staring at me again?" Jiang Chanyi looked around and saw numerous bones and phosphorous fire in the distance.

Ye Bai thought for a while, then took out a talisman from the space and threw it to Jiang Chanyi: "Wear it on your body to ensure that nothing happens to you."

Jiang Chanyi took the talisman with a smile and carefully put it on her neck.

Jiang Yu across from me was a little unhappy, staring straight at Ye Bai with a pair of eyes bigger than a yak, as if to say, you gave it to her, why don't you give me one?

Ye Bai had no choice but to take out another one and throw it to him.

Jiang Yu smiled innocently, imitating Jiang Chan's clothes and wearing them in a stylish way.

The moonlight was bright, but the valley was dark and cold, with only the bonfire in front of the three people and the faint phosphorus fire surrounding them illuminated.

Ye Bai asked Jiang Chanyi to boil a lot of hot water. Although Jiang Chanyi didn't know what Ye Bai wanted to do, she still obeyed him.

The three of them boiled all the water resources they carried into boiling hot water, put them back into the water bags, and then put them into the space by Ye Bai.

The temperature continues to drop. Although the firewood is strong, the flame is not as bright and fluttering as it was at the beginning. Instead, it burns smaller and smaller.

At this time, the four yaks started barking and trying to break free from the rope, as if something dangerous was about to attack.

"Ye Bai..., do these yaks need to be comforted?" Jiang Chanyi also realized the crisis and asked.

"Don't worry about it, I've taken down all the luggage, let them go."

The yaks, sensing a life-and-death crisis, were not as docile and honest as usual, so they broke free from the ropes and ran wildly towards the depths of the Zanggu Valley.

Ye Bai took out all the warm blankets in the space, spread them in the small concave space under the rock wall, and then pulled the Jiang siblings in.

A strong wind seemed to be blowing outside the ravine, and then there was the sound of rustling ice.

The temperature is getting lower and lower. The bonfire not far away is only the size of a fist. It is like a lonely boat under the cold current and will be destroyed at any time.

Soon, the cold wave came with extremely cold temperatures, and the surrounding scenery was instantly covered with a layer of frost.

The whole world seemed to be rendered into ice blue, the fist-sized bonfire was extinguished instantly, and the red charcoal was also covered with a layer of frost.

Ye Bai used Zixia Qi, and a translucent Gang Qi film glowing with purple light appeared in front of the Jiang siblings.

Gang Qi isolates the cold current and forms a small, airtight space.

Before they had time to scream, they saw a strong wind blowing outside and hail suddenly falling.

Hail the size of pebbles hit rocks, soil, and bones...

The purple Gang Qi seems to isolate everything.

"Ye Bai, can we still survive?" Jiang Chanyi said in horror.

"I will protect you." Although his voice was plain, he seemed to be full of confidence.

Jiang Chanyi glanced at Ye Bai secretly, suddenly blushed, and then got into the thick blanket.

The cold wave is getting more intense and the temperature continues to drop.

Although the Gangqi shield can block strong winds and hail, it is not a good thermal insulation layer.

The Jiang siblings' limbs were still numb from the cold and their faces were pale. Fortunately, they had the hot water they had just boiled to keep warm. They drank sips, but they were able to hold on.

Ye Bai felt that there was still some energy left, so he grabbed one of their hands each and channeled the energy into their bodies to resist the cold.

At night, the Jiang siblings had already fallen asleep, and only Ye Bai continued to keep vigil by pumping out his true energy.

There was a vast expanse of white in front of us. Although the wind was much lighter, the temperature was still extremely low.

Jiang Chanyi didn't know when she got into Ye Bai's quilt, like an octopus, hugging Ye Bai's hot body and licking Xiaohan.

The girl's delicate body is warm and soft, with a sweet body fragrance.

Ye Bai hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he was inevitably a little restless, so he had to recite the Taoist mantra for clearing the heart.
