Chapter 556 Wrong Direction
Qiao Xixi was practically crawling on Yun Ji's body. After they passed through a thick layer of clouds, she slowly raised her head and could see Huo Ling Mountain standing tall among the mountains in the distance.

Although Huoling Mountain has the word "fire" in its name, it has nothing to do with heat. Because of its high altitude, the mountain is covered with snow that cannot be slipped off all year round, and the closer you get, the more you can feel the cold wind blowing from it.

The cloud trails slowly descended in altitude.

Jin Lin and his group had already gone ahead to find a place to stay.

The area around Firefeather Mountain is almost entirely barren, without a single forest, just rocky hills. Settling here would not be a good option for them, as it would easily expose them to unknown dangers.

Finally, Jin Lin and his group found two giant rocks that had been naturally piled up at the foot of the mountain. There was a gap between the rocks that could accommodate them, and they could take temporary shelter there.

Yunji flapped its wings and flew to the side of the boulder, landing there.

He lowered his body to its lowest point and spread one wing to let Josie slide off him.

As soon as Qiao Xixi stood up, Yun Ji transformed back into human form and stepped forward to take her hand.

Jin Lin had already entered the space between the boulders to check the situation.

"It's quite spacious inside. We can rest here for a while and wait for Falcon and the others."

Qiao Xixi nodded and followed Yunji inside. Although the boulder blocked most of the cold wind, it was still very cold at the foot of the mountain.

Qiao Xixi wrapped her animal skin coat tighter around herself. It was even colder than before on the ice plains, and the high altitude made it even harder to breathe.

Yunji spread his feathered robe and pulled Qiao Xixi into his arms.

"cold?"

Josh leaned closer to him. "A little."

Yunji held her hand and slowly transferred the beast soul energy in his body into her body. After a while, Qiao Xixi's body warmed up.

tide Jing walked in carrying a pile of firewood. Qiao Xixi pushed her out of Yun Ji's arms and lit the firewood with a lighter.

As the fire burned, the surrounding temperature rose somewhat.

Qiao Xixi sat down by the fire, took out some dried meat from her bundle, heated it over the fire, and handed it to Yunji and Xijing who were sitting next to her.

"Eat something quickly, this place is too cold. You'll feel warmer after you eat."

Seeing that she still had some in her hand, the two of them took it from her.

Jin Lin found some thick tree trunks from somewhere, shaved them into planks, and used them to block the larger gaps, so that no cold wind could blow in.

After eating a little something, Yunji stood up.

"I'll go check out the surrounding area."

"Yunji, be careful."

Yunji nodded slightly, and his figure quickly disappeared from sight.

"Judging from Falcon and the others' location, they seem to have slowed down. They must have noticed that the cubs had also come out and were waiting for them."

Qiao Xixi has been observing the changes in their location over the past two days to guess their speed of travel.

Based on the location of the falcon and its cubs, they should be able to reunite tomorrow.

"Yes, we'll wait for them here."

After eating, Qiao Xixi felt much warmer. She got up and walked outside the big rock. All she could see were bare rocks. She couldn't see any living creatures except for them.

"Little demon, are there no orcs living in this Fire Feather Mountain area?"

"Host, no normal orc can stand this kind of weather. Even if there were any before, they would have migrated long ago. Those that remained wouldn't live long. There's no prey around here at all."

If there's no prey, then there are no wild animals either, so they should be relatively safe here.

"Xixi, it's too cold outside, let's go inside."

Qiao Xixi nodded, turned around and went inside, then took out two large animal hides from her space and spread them on the ground as a cushion.

Jin Lin sat down next to her. "You haven't had a good rest these past two days while traveling. Why don't you take a nap now that you're free?" Qiao Xixi nodded. Although she had rested at night these past two days, she hadn't slept soundly and was indeed quite tired. She leaned against Jin Lin and closed her eyes, but her breathing became even after a short while.

tide Jing looked at Jin Lin and said, "You should take a nap too. I'll keep watch."

Jin Lin nodded, then closed his eyes and embraced Qiao Xixi.

Night fell.

The temperature at the foot of the mountain had dropped several tens of degrees compared to the daytime. Qiao Xixi had been leaning against Jin Lin, but due to the sudden drop in temperature, she turned around and threw herself into Jin Lin's arms.

Jin Lin sensed her shrinking back and tightened his grip on her, almost covering her with the animal skin blanket.

Feeling the continuous heat emanating from Jin Lin, Qiao Xixi buried her head in his arms.

This godforsaken place is so cold my head is about to freeze.

The night grew deeper and deeper, and the only sound around us was the howling of the cold wind.

Qiao Xixi woke up just as she was about to crawl into Jin Lin's body, but she didn't move. Instead, she used her consciousness to check the location of Falcon and the others and found that the cubs were actually very close to them.

Based on this, they should be able to reunite before dawn.

Qiao Xixi was right. After making sure that the children could accept it, Yun Qiong and the others began to speed up.

Although the journey had left the children exhausted, the thought of soon reuniting with Qiao Xixi and the others made them too happy to sleep.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

"it is good."

Compared to the Fire Feather Mountain area, the place where Joey and the others were located was much better, with dense forests below.

Falcon Xuan jumped down first, and only after making sure there was no danger in that area did he let Yun Qiong bring the cubs down.

Qiao Ang rubbed his eyes and yawned. Although he was still excited, his body was a little overwhelmed.

"Father, I'm so hungry."

Fei Yan, feeling sorry for her own child, picked him up and took a piece of dried meat from the bundle behind her and stuffed it into his hand.

"Have some jerky first."

Qiao Ang took the jerky and started eating it.

Joey had already gathered firewood nearby to start a fire and make meat soup for them.

In the darkness, everything was arranged in perfect order.

Fei Yan carried the sleeping tiger cubs on her back, took out animal skin mats and laid them out for the cubs to sit on.

After doing all that, he checked his location and found that they were very close to Falcon and his crew.

Scarlet Flame planned to head in the direction where Falcon and the others were to take a look.

"Father, I'm going to gather some firewood."

Joey nodded, telling him to be careful on his own.

Fei Yan carried the sleeping tiger cub into the forest.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees in the forest were heavy, and Fei Yan carefully discerned the direction as she moved forward.

On the other side, Falcon Owl, who had been monitoring the location, frowned as he watched Crimson Flame move.

"What is Crimson Flame doing heading towards the river?"

If he saw their location and came looking for them, he should have headed towards the foot of the mountain.

The falcon's serpentine eyes narrowed slightly.
