He changed Tiwat

Yura wrapped one arm around Amber's waist and reached out with the other to grab the person closest to her.

The person closest to her was Han Fulai, the person she was protecting on this trip.

Amidst the cascading snow, the azure wings of wind resembled Noah's Ark in the vast ocean, while Yura's hand was the only lifeline for those drowning.

Han Fulai almost instinctively reached out his hand to Yura. Their fingertips almost touched, just like in Michelangelo's famous painting "The Creation of Adam"—God reached out his hand to Adam, wanting to take him to the Garden of Eden.

But the two hands missed each other in mid-air.

...However, I didn't completely miss it.

Although her hands couldn't reach her, Yura had a pair of enviable long legs.

Han Fulai grabbed Yura's leg.

He even had the chance to feel the texture of his cheek.

Mmm, Yura's thighs are so fragrant and soft.

Bearing the weight of three people, the Wings of Wind suddenly sank.

The Windwing, which normally can only support the weight of one person, is already severely overloaded. Even Amber, the Mondstadt flying champion, cannot fly with a weight of more than 300 pounds.

According to Mond's Flight Guidelines, this is a serious violation that could pose a significant safety hazard and would result in the revocation of a pilot's license.

The three began to fall rapidly into the valley.

"We're going to fall!" Amber cried out.

"Quickly open your Wind Wings!" Yura roared.

He yelled at Han Fulai.

She hadn't forgotten that this Deputy Minister Han also had a strangely shaped Wind Wing, and that Wind Wing possessed abundant wind elemental power.

"Well……"

　Han Fulai hugged Youla's leg, awkwardly meeting her piercing gaze.

"I don't know how to use it."

Yura's gaze was like it could freeze you into an icicle.

If he had feigned terror and claimed he didn't know how to use the Wind Wings, Yura would have believed him—but this guy was acting far too calmly, and Yura was inexplicably convinced that he was enjoying being a mere accessory to someone's powerful backer…

"...But I can learn."

Han Fulai quickly summoned the Windwing that Wendy had given him from his storage space.

Gilded wings unfolded behind Han Fulai.

Perhaps thanks to the power of Wendy residing above, the "Starry Wings" seemed to sense its master's danger and automatically equipped itself on his back. With the added cushioning of the wind wings, the three of them immediately slowed their descent.

Han Fulai carefully let go of her hand; it wouldn't be appropriate to keep clinging to someone's leg now that there was a parachute.

The sudden turn of events left Han Fulai rather stunned than calm, but he has now come to his senses—in fact, as long as he activates the Jade Shield, this height is not fatal at all; he had already tried jumping off a cliff with the shield activated in the Layered Rock Abyss.

And even without Amber and Windwing, he could call Xiao for help... Uh, it would be too embarrassing to bother Xiao with something like this, so I'll pass.

The avalanche stopped quickly, and the three landed safely at the bottom of the valley.

"Mr. Han, are you alright? Is your leg injured?"

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Amber hurriedly inquired about Han Fulai's condition.

After all, she also served as Mondstadt's flight instructor. Many beginners who hadn't mastered the landing posture would twist their ankles or even fracture them during landing. Han Fulai's landing posture just now was very unprofessional; he didn't even perform a proper recovery maneuver.

However, Han Fulai is no ordinary person. The impact of landing is nothing to him; it's probably just a slight numbness in his leg.

Han Fulai retracted the Wind Wings on his back and replied, "I'm fine, I just need to catch my breath. Thank you for your concern."

For him, this first experience of flying with the Wind Wings was still a bit too exciting; he needed to quickly forget the sensation of Yura's thigh in his mind...

Amber nodded, then turned back to ask about Yura's condition.

Yura was unharmed and had already begun to move around, observing her surroundings. The avalanche and the collapse of the mountain road had caused a large amount of snow and rocks to fall into the valley, and dust was billowing in the air, making visibility very poor.

Her gaze quickly swept over all directions around the three people, then she shook her head.

"Those two people aren't around." This was the conclusion she reached after activating her elemental vision.

When the three of them shared the Wind Wings, they were in an overloaded state. Even with Amber's skills, she couldn't control the direction of flight under those conditions. While avoiding the falling rocks and snow, they also deviated a long distance from their initial position.

In other words, they got separated from Bennett and Abedo.

"...This is really worrying."

Amber's eyes were full of worry. She had glimpsed Bennett and Abedo falling into the valley while she was in the air—neither of them had the Wings of Wind.

The drop from where they fell to the bottom of the valley must have been several tens of meters. Even someone with the physical abilities of a God's Eye holder could easily suffer serious injury from such a fall.

Yura thought for a moment and said, "With their abilities, they shouldn't be in any danger. Remember? Abedo's flower."

Her words reminded Amber of how Abedo had used the "Imitation Yanghua" as an elevator yesterday, and her expression relaxed slightly: "Yeah, that makes sense. With their skills, they should be fine..."

Han Fulai then spoke up, "There's really no need to worry about Aberdo... I'm more worried about Bennett. Think about it, what if he gets hit on the head by rubble during the fall..."

Upon hearing this, both Yura and Amber wore wry smiles—indeed, he truly lived up to his reputation as Bennett.

Yesterday, Amber accompanied him down the mountain when there was both an avalanche and a landslide... I thought this descent would be smooth sailing, but the avalanche and landslide happened at the same time. Even the most skeptical person has to admire Bennett's prowess.

If it's Bennett, anything is possible.

Han Fulai's words were not yet finished.

"...Also, I suspect this incident might have been deliberate. The timing is too coincidental."

He said this to Yura.

Yura frowned slightly and nodded silently.

Completely oblivious, Amber looked on with suspicion.

"Man-made? What man-made?"

Yura patted Amber on the back: "Let's go, we need to find Bennett and Abelard quickly."

The three searched in the direction of the landslide, calling out Bennett and Aberdo's names as they went, and soon received a response: "Everyone—I'm here—!"

They saw Bennett, or more precisely, Bennett's head sticking out of the snowdrift.

Amber couldn't help but think of Bennett from yesterday... Hmm, even the way he was buried in the snow was exactly the same. The world is truly amazing.

Yura then quietly repeated to Amber what she had said yesterday: "I don't usually believe in these things, but Bennett is really amazing."

Chapter 135 Things Hidden Beneath the Ice

The group of people quickly dug Bennett out of the snowdrift.

Bennett bounced around a couple of times, stretched his body, and concluded: "Hmm... I'm a little dizzy, but I don't feel any pain... I'm probably not injured."

This time, he fell from a great height and miraculously landed in a soft snowdrift. Although he was buried by the avalanche, he was spared from being hit by falling rocks.

Of course, most people would suffocate if buried in an avalanche—but Bennett is the holder of the Eye of God.

He used the power of his fire-elemental divine eye to melt away the snow that buried him, creating a passage for himself, and he encountered rescue as soon as he peeked out... His luck was truly indescribable.

You could say he was lucky, since he was indeed buried alive; you could say he was unlucky, since he didn't even get a scratch...

He even had the energy to ask Abedo: "By the way, where is Abedo? Why isn't he with you?"

Amber shrugged. "He should have fallen with you, right?"

Yura looked around again, then shook her head.

"Maybe he didn't fall in the same place as you. Anyway, one has been found, and the other can't be too far away. Keep looking around this area."

The four of them searched the entire area affected by the avalanche, but they couldn't find Abedo.

That's strange.

If even Bennett is alright, then Abedo, who possesses the "Simulated Yanghua," should be even less likely to be in trouble.

...Could it be that Bennett's bad luck transferred to Aberdo, who was knocked unconscious by falling rocks and then buried by an avalanche?

In that case, they would have to dig through all the collapsed rocks and snow – a task that no four people could possibly complete.

If Abedo were really buried inside, he might have suffocated by the time he was dug out...

Bennett was so anxious that tears were about to fall: "It's all my fault... If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened. If Mr. Abedo were to be affected because of me, I..."

Just as Bennett was about to burst into tears, a voice came from behind them.

"...Everyone, I'm here."

"Ah! Mr. Abedo?!" Bennett was stunned for a moment, then rushed over. "Are you...are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"It's alright." Abedo patted his white knight's robe, which seemed to be undamaged except for being a little dirty.

Han Fulai and Yura both looked at Abedo's neck at the same time.

The five of them had just gathered when they encountered an avalanche and a landslide—it was such a coincidence that it was hard to believe it was just an accident. Furthermore, the previous discovery of Abe's footprints suggested that Abe was likely lurking nearby, and it's even possible that he was the one who caused this "accident."

And even more coincidentally, Abedo, who should never have disappeared, did.

Considering that Abess could transform into Abedo's appearance, Han Fulai and Youla both kept a watchful eye on things.

Fortunately, the star-shaped "birthmark" on Abedo's neck is indeed Abedo himself.

Amber caught up and asked, "Aberdo, where did you go? We almost thought you were buried by an avalanche!"

Abedo pointed in the direction he had come from: "When I landed, I saw you flying in that direction, so I thought I'd meet up with you first... but we probably missed each other along the way."

Bennett wiped his face and sighed, "Anyway, I'm glad you're alright, Mr. Abedo... It really doesn't work to determine one's fortune by the orientation of the raven's mark, sigh..."

As he spoke, he stood at attention and bowed to everyone.

I am so sorry everyone!

This child genuinely feels that his bad luck has harmed everyone.

Yura shook her head and said, "Don't say that. I'm not exactly the lucky type myself, and I won't blame everything on you just because of some minor accident."

Amber also comforted Bennett, saying, "That's right! Besides, snow-capped mountains are inherently dangerous areas. Encountering an avalanche in a snow-capped mountain is perfectly reasonable. How can you say it's just bad luck?"

Han Fulai frowned and, unusually, remained silent.

He always felt that there must be something important that had been overlooked in this so-called "accident".

But what is it?

Abedo then spoke up, "Everyone, although we've encountered an accident, we should continue forward. There are still dangers in the snow-capped mountains, so it's best to get to the camp as soon as possible."

Yura nodded: "The most urgent thing is to get to the adventurer camp at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible. Once we get there, everything will be fine."

The ever-energetic Amber pointed forward with great enthusiasm, issuing the order to advance: "Everyone, remember to watch your step and your head, let's advance cautiously!"

Although they deviated from their original route after falling off the mountain path, as long as they were heading in the right direction, there was more than one way down the mountain; it was just a matter of how easy or difficult it was to navigate.

Abedo had previously explored the area near "Sleeping Dragon Valley" and had traveled all the routes leading out of the mountains; now he was leading the way.

Although the road through the valley is winding and rugged, and the route passes through many snowmelt streams, giving it a real sense of trekking through mountains and rivers, it is not a problem for these people.

The group walked from morning to afternoon, and the surrounding scenery was no longer just the same black rocks and white snow. There was some greenery in the view – the sight of grass meant they were about to leave the snow-capped mountains.

With the embellishment of green grass, the scenery here has gained a rare vitality, making people feel relaxed.

Amber shaded her eyes with her hand, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! We've walked for so long, and we're still heading in the right direction. I think we're almost at the bottom of the mountain! When we get to the campsite, I'm going to have a bowl of hot soup and some roasted meat!"

Bennett clasped his hands together, seemingly praying to some deity: "I hope everyone arrives safely, and that there won't be any more accidents..."

Amber turned to look at Yura behind her: "It's rare to stay in the snow mountains for this long. Although it's cold, the scenery here is really beautiful! Right, Yura?"

Yura's eyes remained fixed on Abedo in front of her, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Yura?" Amber raised her voice and called again.

Yura then realized what was happening: "Oh, sorry, I wasn't listening. What did you say?"

Although Amber found Yura's appearance strange, she didn't pay much attention to it.

“I think that Longji Snow Mountain is actually more vast and the scenery is more beautiful than we imagined. If the temperature were higher and it were safer, more people would definitely be willing to come here to visit.”

Yura nodded as if she understood, and said, "Yes... people are always afraid of the cold and avoid danger, but they don't know that the ice is just the surface. What is hidden under the ice needs to be discovered with a discerning eye."

Han Fulai, who was walking quietly at the back of the group, spoke up at this moment: "Everyone, let's rest at the fork in the road ahead... I'm a little tired."
