Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 264 A Cave Within a Cave, A Marvelous Scene

Soon after, Chen Xu became acquainted with Xiao Xuejing through conversation.

Although this little snow spirit has a cunning side, once you get to know her, she becomes very straightforward and sincere.

She answered whatever Chen Xu asked.

"Oh dear, snow..."

She talked on and on, which can be translated as: "I eat snow, I eat wind, I eat water... Snow is the best, it's sweet, but wind is a bit sharp and sometimes it hurts when you eat it."

I only drink water when I can't sleep.

My favorite food is snow!

However, snow tastes all sorts of things; not all snow is particularly sweet. Some is very sweet, some is moderately sweet, and some is quite bland, like water, but eating it always makes me feel good.

And some of them will make you cry if you eat them. Waaaaah…

As she spoke, she made a crying gesture.

This is demonstrating to Chen Xu just how painful it is to cry when you eat the wrong snow.

Then she excitedly asked Chen Xu, "Oh my gosh... Brother Chen, do you eat snow? If you do, I'll take you to find the sweetest snow to eat!"

She seemed to think she had come up with a brilliant idea. Before Chen Xu could answer her question, she happily twirled around in the snow several times.

“Eee-ee, ya-ya-ya, la-la-la…”

She was so happy that she even forgot about asking Chen Xu about magic earlier, and only wanted to share the sweetest snow on the mountain with Chen Xu.

The mouse, huddled in the spirit pouch, poked Chen Xu with its tiny paws, urging him to agree quickly.

To find the snow from the previous year, you should follow the snow spirit!
Chen Xu then cupped his hands and bowed respectfully to Xiaoxuejing, smiling as he said, "That is indeed my wish, but I dare not ask."

The little snow spirit found his action very interesting, so she immediately copied him, clasping her hands together and awkwardly bowing.

"Yes, yes, that's what I wish... but I dare not ask. Oh, oh, oh..."

She actually has a strong language ability and quickly learned to repeat and narrate words.

Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh again.

The little hedgehog poked its head out from the basket behind Chen Xu, looking intently at the little snow spirit, a smile appearing on its face.

Then, the little snow spirit waved to Chen Xu: "Yay...come on over here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and suddenly plunged into the strange rocks next to her.

Yes, she plunged into the strange rock.

With this thrust, it was as if she herself was nothingness, and thus instantly merged into the strange rock.

It was as if the strange rock itself was "empty," which is why the little snow spirit was able to walk directly into it as if passing through thin air.

This magical scene was incredibly interesting. Chen Xu used his keen observation skills to examine his surroundings and knew that the "empty" thing was indeed the strange rock in front of him.

Or to be more precise, this strange rock is actually a "half-real, half-illusory" existence.

Normally, a strange rock is just a strange rock.

It has a physical form; if you reach out and touch it, you will definitely be able to truly feel its physical presence.

However, if you can align yourself with its own force field, and then walk towards it, you can instantly pass through it and reach its strange internal space.

The little snow spirit was naturally compatible with it, which is the main reason why the little snow spirit always ran back to the strange rock.

This little one, you might say she's naive and innocent, but she's actually quite cunning and shrewd in every way.

But if you say she's really clever and shrewd, well, this little fool has revealed all her secrets in one fell swoop.

Chen Xu and this strange rock were not actually compatible, but Chen Xu had the supernatural ability to travel through the netherworld.

He remembered the strange fluctuations that the little snow spirit had made when she stepped into the boulder, and suddenly took a step and stepped into the "strange rock".

At that moment, Wei Yuan was still nervous: "Brother Chen, we can't get in here..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Xu had already led the little hedgehog and the mouse to pass through the Netherworld.

The whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment. When they opened their eyes again, the man and the two demons were already inside the strange rock.

Looking closely, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white, a beautiful sight.

It turns out that this is a huge cave with all sorts of strange stalactites growing upside down!

The stalactites are bizarre and varied, each one snow-white and unique in shape.

Because everything is white, at first glance, it's hard to tell whether you're in a cave or in a vast snowfield.

Wei Yuan felt inexplicably nervous. It clung tightly to the mouth of the basket and was about to speak when it suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

It turned out to be the little snow spirit hopping and skipping out from the depths of the cave. She waved to Chen Xu and said, "Eeya ya... Brother Chen, come quickly, the best snow is inside!"

Chen Xu walked towards her.

The little snow sprite skipped and hopped ahead, leading the way.

Her speed was incredibly fast; her snow-white body almost blended into the snow-white cave, like a wisp of snow smoke, and in the blink of an eye, she had darted forward a great distance.

Fortunately, Chen Xu had a gentle breeze with him as he walked, and his pace was never slow, so he was able to keep up with her.

The cave is very large.

The snow's glare was somewhat blinding, sometimes making people dizzy.

Chen Xu was even unable to further utilize the "Cave of Subtlety" technique, because everything inside the cave was too cold and white, so white that once the "Cave of Subtlety" technique was used, it made everything seem even more hazy and difficult to distinguish.

Fortunately, he possessed the ability to perceive subtle details and also mastered the art of spirit control.

While the magic of spirit control techniques cannot be said to surpass the subtlety of the cave, it does have its own unique strengths.

With a slight shift in his thoughts, Chen Xu could clearly sense that the cave in front of him was actually a physical entity.

Unlike the strange rock we came from, which was half solid and half illusory, it had a dreamlike quality, much like Zhuangzi's butterfly dream.

Although the cave in front of us is a physical structure, the atmosphere inside is quite peculiar.

Chen Xu chased after the little snow spirit at breakneck speed, his physical sensation being that he was inside a mountain—

Running towards the mountain peak through a cave passage inside the mountain.

However, the sensations from the Spirit Control Technique gave Chen Xu an intuition: No, this is not running towards the summit, but running down the mountain!

Yes, they were on a snow-capped peak before, which was the summit. How could they possibly go to another summit?

This is actually a downward trend, which makes a strange sense.

Footsteps echoed ethereally through the cave, resounding continuously within the snow-white interior.

As Chen Xu walked deeper into the area, he felt that the beautiful sights before him were fleeting like light and shadow.

Suddenly, the little snow spirit stopped in her tracks.

Chen Xu turned a corner and suddenly saw a blur of light and shadow ahead.

It turned out that a huge dome had appeared on the top of the cave, like a yurt.

The other half of the dome had a large hole, through which bright sunlight streamed in.

The dazzling light and shadow, like gold scattered by time, are cast into the deep and vast cave.

On the other side of the giant hole, instead of a snow-white expanse, velvety green grass and tiny wildflowers had sprouted.

Around that patch of deep red and light green flowers and grass, clusters of white snow covered the ground.

The little snow sprite exclaimed joyfully, "Yay, yay, delicious snow!"
