Capítulo 1199: Chapter 1199 Outside the cave deep in Changbai Mountain, the biting cold wind whipped through the snowflakes, quickly covering the tracks on the ground. Sun Hongwu heard Zhang Yang’s proposal, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Dıscover more novels at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 Work with Zhang Yang? This guy who has repeatedly thwarted his plans, what’s his real intention in proposing cooperation now? But thinking of Uncle Long, that old fox who stole his hard-earned map and Rejuvenation Pill, Sun Hongwu gritted his teeth again. Sun Hongwu snorted coldly and then tentatively said, “Zhang Yang, do you think I’ll believe you?” Zhang Yang patted the snow off his clothes, speaking in a relaxed tone, “Believe it or not, but let me tell you, Uncle Long was the one who provided me your intel back then.” “I was used by him, but likewise, you all have been schemed by him.” “Now, he’s sure to get the things. Neither you nor I alone can take him down.” “Rather than let him have it all, why not join hands and share a portion, at least you’ll get back what’s yours, right?” Xia Xue quietly observed from the side, she could sense the probing in Zhang Yang’s words. Although Sun Hongwu’s gang is despicable, Uncle Long is even more cunning and scheming. Letting them fight amongst themselves might be the best option. Just as the two were at a stalemate, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from deep within the cave! The sound was like ice cracking, carrying endless anger and frenzy, echoing in the desolate snowy field. “It’s that monster!” Sun Hongwu’s face changed drastically, instinctively stepping back. “How did it wake up?!” Zhang Yang’s lips curled into a barely noticeable smile, silently thinking, “Looks like the time is just about right.” The tinkering he did on the Snow Monster indeed sped up the metabolism of the tranquilizer. Inside the cave, the Snow Monster, which was previously knocked out by the tranquilizer, suddenly opened its blood-red eyes, violently tearing out the tranquilizer needles embedded in its body, throwing them to the ground. It sniffed the air, seemingly detecting the scent of humans, especially those who had harmed it before. Uncle Long, leading his men, was cautiously making their way out from deep within the cave, every face showing excitement and greed. In their hands lay an ancient Jade Box, containing the very goal of their journey. It is said to be the “Soul Resurrection Grass” that grants immortality. “Uncle Long, this Soul Resurrection Grass truly lives up to its name, look at this luster!” a minion flattered. Uncle Long stroked his beard, his eyes glinting: “Hmph, both Qingyi Sect and Zhang Yang wanted to snatch it, but in the end, it still fell into my hands.” “Once back, research it well, immortality is just around the corner!” As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps and terrifying roars suddenly sounded ahead. Uncle Long’s face changed, shouting, “What’s going on?” “Uncle Long! It’s bad! That Snow Monster woke up! It’s charging this way!” A scout minion rushed back, rolling and crawling, face pale. Uncle Long’s pupils contracted, not expecting the monster to wake up so soon. “What’s the panic! Shoot! Keep using the tranquilizer guns!” “But Uncle Long, the previous tranquilizers don’t seem to work anymore!” “Useless!” Uncle Long cursed. “Quickly retreat! Head to the cave entrance!” Everything immediately descended into chaos, carrying the Jade Box, they began to retreat. The huge body of the Snow Monster shattered the ice wall, charging after them with a bloody gale, its strong hands sweeping down, instantly knocking down several henchmen. Outside the cave, Zhang Yang and Sun Hongwu heard the growing commotion inside, both tensed and ready. “Here it comes!” Zhang Yang muttered. Only to see Uncle Long and his group rolling and crawling out of the cave entrance, the rampaging Snow Monster right behind them. Uncle Long saw Zhang Yang and Sun Hongwu at the entrance, first stunned, then a fierce glance flashed in his eyes: “Zhang Yang! Sun Hongwu! Stop it for me! There’ll be benefits for you after!” Sun Hongwu was unwilling to listen, immediately commanding his men, “Attack! Don’t let this monster get away!” He was calculating, if he could take the chance to deal with Uncle Long and the monster, wouldn’t the stuff inside the Jade Box be… Zhang Yang, meanwhile, pulled Xia Xue back, observing coldly. He knew, the best timing was now. The Snow Monster, attacked from both sides, became even more furious. Though Uncle Long’s men had tranquilizer guns, their effect was minimal, instead angering the Snow Monster. Sun Hongwu’s men wielded knives and swords, trying to get close to the Snow Monster, but one was directly torn apart by the monster. This bloody and horrifying scene scared Xia Xue into a scream, not daring to look further, hiding behind Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang also felt a chill, too brutal. “Uncle Long! You old scoundrel! Hand over the goods!” Sun Hongwu shouted while fighting. Uncle Long, dodging the Snow Monster’s attacks, cursed, “Sun Hongwu! You fool! Deal with the monster first!” In the chaos, Uncle Long suddenly noticed Zhang Yang standing aside inertly, a glint of calculation in his eyes. He abruptly threw the Jade Box in his hand towards Zhang Yang: “Zhang Yang! Catch! Block the monster for me!” Zhang Yang hadn’t expected Uncle Long to pull such a move, instinctively reaching out to catch. In that moment, Uncle Long, with the remainder of his men, abruptly ran in a different direction, trying to sneak away amidst the chaos! “Old fox!” Zhang Yang cursed inwardly, catching the Jade Box, only to find the Snow Monster’s attention instantly attracted to the box. It turns out the Soul Resurrection Grass inside the Jade Box seems to have a special attraction for the Snow Monster. The Snow Monster roared, abandoning pursuit of Uncle Long, charging at Zhang Yang. “Zhang Yang! Watch out!” Xia Xue screamed. Sun Hongwu stopped his attack too, sneering at Zhang Yang: “Zhang Yang, looks like you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble.” Zhang Yang took a deep breath, stuffed the Jade Box into Xia Xue’s hands: “Hold it! Move back!” Zhang Yang pulled out the effective Obsidian from before, his gaze turned sharp. Facing the charging Snow Monster, Zhang Yang did not retreat; instead, he charged directly at it. The energy of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Medical Technique surged within him, he infused the energy into the Obsidian, thrusting it at the Snow Monster’s outstretched hand. With a “squelch” sound, the Obsidian proved effective, the Snow Monster cringed in pain, its giant hand recoiled abruptly. But it quickly charged again, raising its hand to smash Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang’s movements were agile, constantly dodging, searching for the Snow Monster’s weakness. He noticed the Snow Monster’s eyes, though blood-red, seemed somewhat sensitive to light. “Xia Xue! Turn your headlamp to the brightest setting! Shine it at its eyes!” Zhang Yang shouted. Xia Xue hastily complied, the bright light shot at the Snow Monster’s eyes. The Snow Monster, stimulated by the strong light, became somewhat frantic, its attacks also losing accuracy. Zhang Yang seized the chance, once again stabbing the Obsidian into the Snow Monster’s other arm. The Snow Monster wailed in pain, its massive body began to retreat. Sun Hongwu watched, astonished, never expecting Zhang Yang to actually hold his own against the monster. His gaze flickered, pondering some unknown scheme. Just then, the Snow Monster seemed to realize it was no match, suddenly smashing aside an ice wall, disappearing down another fork in the path.
