Start by adding points from the basics to fight through the apocalypse

Chapter 189 Tianhe Ridge
I didn't pursue it because the traces left by the pyretic ant colony would take at least half a month to disappear.

And this group of fire ants that just passed by was just the vanguard of the expedition, and the real army of queen ants was still in the original nest.

He looked again at the water of the Milky Way that seemed to be surging down from the nine heavens. This was his destination.

Tianhe Falls!

Arriving here proves that he has walked one-third of the way through the Great Smoky Mountains, and at the same time he has entered the real core circle of the Great Smoky Mountains - the Tianhe Ridge!
The Tianhe Ridge is over 5000 meters above sea level. Li Lin has never been up there. The furthest he reached in his previous life was here.

However, he heard others say that the Tianhe Ridge contains the real treasures of the entire Great Smoky Mountains, but it is also extremely dangerous, with all kinds of mutated beasts and powerful beasts.

In his previous life, Li Lin had narrowly escaped death when he reached this point, so he naturally did not have the courage to climb up.

Along the way, he discovered many treasures of heaven, materials and earth, king grade and imperial grade. When he thought about it, if there were emperor grade treasures of heaven, material and earth in the Great Smoky Mountains, it must be on the Tianhe Ridge.

But he had never been to the Tianhe Ridge. He had only heard sporadic legends about it in the tavern. The most common one was that the Tianhe Ridge held secrets about the entire Great Smoky Mountains.

The apocalypse is coming, strength is paramount, and all intelligence information will cost a huge price.

In his previous life, Li Lin didn't have the strength to go up there, so he naturally didn't have to spend the money to collect information about the Tianhe Ridge.

Now, more than a year after the end of the world, Li Lin took Xun'er up to find out.

After walking around in a circle, Li Lin looked at the cliff above. There were only sporadic plants growing in the cracks of the rocks, all of which were natural treasures.

Stone thorn, purple cocklebur, cat's claw vine, polygonatum, rhubarb...

At a glance, there are no less than twenty kinds.

This is the benefit of pioneering wasteland. The first group of people to venture into dangerous areas will definitely gain more benefits.

Moreover, the Great Smoky Mountains are not like the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Because of the heavy humidity and too many cliffs, they are not suitable for human survival. There are no cottages similar to the Mountain Clan.

Without people, there will naturally be more natural resources and treasures left.

The more heavenly materials and earthly treasures there are, the stronger the aura of heaven and earth will be. Similarly, the strength of mutant beasts will be slightly stronger than that of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Li Lin didn't care about these natural treasures, but Xun'er was very interested. In her weak perception, this was a treasure mountain with good things everywhere.

But along with the good stuff, there are also a lot of dangers.

Nearly every natural and earthly treasure is guarded by mutant beasts. They may not be too strong, but they are very difficult to deal with.

"Walk."

Li Lin lifted Xun'er and tapped his feet lightly, "Let's go up."

He brought Xun'er with him just to broaden her horizons. These dangerous places are not suitable for human survival, but for mutant beasts, it is a paradise for reproduction.

Li Lin never thought about truly conquering the world, he just wanted to turn all useful things into materials for his own growth.

He has high expectations for Xun'er, so he cultivates her carefully, hoping that one day his efforts will be generously rewarded and he will become his right-hand man.

The best relationship between people is that they need each other. He now stands at an absolute height, widening the gap with everyone in terms of strength.

But as time goes by, this gap will gradually become smaller, and he will also need to cultivate help that is useful to him.

The world is so big, and if he needs to conquer it all, he will be too exhausted to do it.

Li Lin was thinking in his mind, but his feet didn't stop. It seemed that there was no way to go up the cliff, but considering his strength, it was relatively easy to go up.

It was like stepping on a ladder under his feet, Li Lin's figure quickly rose up, Xun'er stared at him flying in the white clouds filled with fairy energy, just like a fairy boy in the fairyland in the sky, Li Lin was naturally an immortal.

"call out--"

"Shh-"

A red venomous snake without eyes pounced on Li Lin in mid-air, but was cut in half by Li Lin's backhand knife.

He didn't use the power of the black flames because he was afraid of damaging a royal pink sunflower plant next to him.

The snake corpse trembled slightly, the blood melted into the cracks in the stone, and the red sunflower grass stretched more and more coquettishly.

After spending 5 minutes, Li Lin finally climbed over the last cliff and stood on the cliff.

At this time, the Tianhe ridge is more than 6000 meters high. The top of the mountain is a bit cold, the north wind is blowing, and the surroundings are covered with white snow. It is the season of the snow country.

"Squeak-"

Xun'er stepped lightly on the snow, making a crisp sound.

After walking a few steps, Xun'er stretched out her palm to catch a falling snowflake. The cold touch made her couldn't help but say, "Oh my God, it's snowing!"

"Yes!"

Li Lin looked up at the vast sky and sighed: "It's snowing!"

After the end of the world came, he missed the first snowfall in Yulong City because he went to Dusk Divide, but he didn't want to catch the first snowfall after climbing the Tianhe Ridge.

If it were before the end of the world, he would definitely have a good sleep in a warm bed, and then go have a steaming hot pot meal with his two or three friends.

But now he is not afraid of the wind and snow, standing on the peak of more than 6000 meters above sea level, watching the snowflakes flying in the sky and the snowfield thousands of miles away.

Although there is heavy snowfall, there are still a lot of green jungles on the Tianhe Mountain Ridge. The fog is slightly lighter, and it feels like climbing to the top of the sea of ​​clouds.

There are no roads, and everything is covered with traces of snow. The emerald green jungle is a frozen mountain forest, still maintaining its original appearance before the end of the world.

It's not majestic or tall, it just maintains a familiar taste.

Xun'er didn't feel anything, but she was wondering why these trees were malnourished.

Although they were frozen, Li Lin still felt that these green trees had not really lost their vitality, as if they were isolated by something.

"Meow--"

After walking a few steps, Li Lin heard a long-lost meow. When he looked up, he found a kitten not much bigger than a palm standing 50 meters away.

The color of the kitten's fur is very similar to that of snow, and its aura is reserved. It is good at camouflage. You may not even see it if you look carefully. If you don't look carefully, it will be easily ignored.

If the other party hadn't suddenly meowed, Li Lin would have had to be 20 meters away from it to sense it.

Seeing the white kitten, Xun'er had no joy in her eyes, but instead moved closer to Li Lin.

She could feel that although the kitten in front of her was small, it was dangerous.

"Three tails?"

Li Lin noticed the three slender tails trailing behind the little white cat's buttocks. The fluffy tails were swaying and fanning gently, and its two watery eyes were staring at them curiously.

"Meow--"

He called softly again. Although he couldn't understand it, Li Lin's eyes showed a hint of wariness.

He could feel an undisguised aura flying quickly from a distance.

Yes, it really flies.

If he were running like Li Lin, it would seem to be a constant speed, but there would still be a slight difference.

Whenever his footsteps touch the ground, the forces between the two interact, causing a brief change in speed.

This change is very slight, but a real master can sense it.But in that powerful aura, Li Lin did not feel any change in the opponent's speed.

Xun'er realized later that she also felt a powerful aura approaching quickly.

Soon, a black spot appeared on the horizon. From far to near, the outline of a figure gradually became clearer.

At this time, Li Lin also saw clearly that the opponent was not flying, but on a sled, gliding gracefully on the snow, and the speed was naturally as if he was flying.

Soon, a little man wearing a white cloak, carrying a black short gun behind his back, and a yellow mask on his face stopped next to the three-tailed white cat. The black pupils on the mask stared at Li Lin curiously. With caution.

Because since she appeared, Li Lin's aura has become stronger, and he is tit for tat with her.

"Meow--"

The three-tailed white cat lightly jumped onto the little man's shoulder, stretched out a paw and pointed at Li Lin and Xun'er, as if saying something.

Originally, the little man looked at Li Lin with vigilance and caution, but when she set her sights on Xun'er, who was also a little man, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.

Xun'er didn't care about the strange look in her eyes, she just looked enviously at the three-tailed white cat lying on her enemy's shoulder, and then looked at Li Lin's shoulder. She couldn't sit on it now.

"who are you?"

The little man's mouth moved slightly, and a clear voice sounded, "What are you doing in Tianhe?"

Xun'er's body trembled slightly, blinked, and met Li Lin's eyes, "Dad, did you hear what she said?"

Li Lin shook his head, "I felt a mental wave, but I couldn't hear her."

So Xun'er translated: "She asked me, who are we and what are we doing in Tianhe?"

"Who is she, you ask?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then say we have no ill intentions!"

Facing those black eyes, Xun'er asked: "My name is Xun'er, who are you?"

Taking off the black spear on his back, the mask said humanely: "I am the guardian saint of Tianhe, and I will not allow anyone to destroy Tianhe."

Xun'er said: "Dada and I don't have any ill intentions in coming here, we just want to come up and have a look!"

After speaking, she told Li Lin what the masked man said again.

After hearing Xun'er's words and looking into those innocent eyes, the masked man lifted the light yellow mask covering his face to his head, revealing a round little face.

With just one glance, Li Lin could tell that although the other person was female, she was not a human being.

There is a small translucent horn on the forehead, the size of a peanut, with a little golden color at the tip. As for the other facial features, it is very similar to humans.

It's just that the opponent is only 1.2 meters tall. Although his face has perseverance and determination, he has a childish look on his face, which makes him look underage at first glance.

With a human-like appearance and the ability to communicate with Xun'er's soul, Li Lin had to suspect that Xun'er was actually a monkey.

Next, Xun'er had more exchanges with the other party, and the other party also lowered his guard a little.

Li Lin's evil spirit was very strong, which made her feel uneasy.

Seeing that the other party had lowered his guard, Xun'er rolled his eyes slightly, then took out a bamboo tube, gently unscrewed the lid, and then a strong floral fragrance wafted out.

"Meow--"

The three-tailed white cat was the first to make an intoxicated sound, and then stared at the bamboo tube in Xun'er's hand, wanting to come over, but he didn't dare.

The Holy Maiden of Tianhe also moved her nose slightly, staring at the bamboo tube that exuded an alluring fragrance.

"This is the nectar I found on the road. I originally wanted to bring it back to my godmother."

Xun'er pouted, "But I say that as a friend you need to know how to share. It's our first time meeting and I don't know what gift to give you, so I'll just give you this jar of honey as a gift!"

After saying that, he buckled the bamboo tube and threw it over.

Taking the bamboo tube in a daze, the Holy Maiden of Tianhe opened the bamboo tube, and the alluring fragrance filled the air again.

Carefully use your fingers to pull out a little bit, and then put it into your mouth. A sweetness surged into your heart, and the Holy Maiden of Tianhe unconsciously showed a happy smile on her face.

She ate it by herself, not forgetting the three-tailed white cat who was watching eagerly, and then she also dug some into the other person's mouth.

"Meow--"

The three-tailed white cat couldn't help but show a happy expression on its face, and looked at Xun'er with a hint of intimacy.

Pursing her lips, she understood clearly what Xun'er said just now. As a friend, you should know how to share.

But when she looked left and right, she found that there was nothing extra on her body except a portable weapon and the mask on her face.

Moreover, Tianhe is short of products. She doesn't know what she should exchange for such a beautiful thing?

After hesitating, the Tianhe Saint took off a pendant from her neck and said, "Give it to you!"

Xun'er was unprepared and ran over.

Li Lin didn't stop him because he felt that the other party had no ill intentions.

Many times, only the relationships between people are filled with all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues. Outside, natural selection takes place and strength comes first.

Killing is killing, violence is violence, disgust is disgust, evil is evil, there are not so many calculations.

Only after experiencing the subsequent conspiracies and machinations will these emerging races that evolved because of the end of the world have their own accumulated civilization and wisdom.

After taking the crystal pendant, Xun'er held it in her hand and looked at it. Li Lin went up and patted her on the head, "If you want to look at it later, it's rude in front of your friends!"

"Oh!"

Xun'er obediently put the pendant into her pocket. Although she didn't know what it was, she felt that it contained powerful energy.

Looking at Li Lin, Xun'er said: "Dad, she invited us to her home."

Li Lin smiled and nodded, "Then go."

Although the opponent is strong, he is not bad either!

"call out--"

With a gentle tap of the foot, the sled was already running in the direction it came from, at a very fast speed, more than 100 meters in one second.

Li Lin was not bad either, carrying Xun'er and following leisurely behind.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Li Lin came to a canyon. As soon as he entered, he saw many kittens that looked like three-tailed white cats, but most of them had one tail on their butts, and rarely two tails.

These white cats were all sitting in a row, looking curiously at Li Lin, who had just arrived.

There is a castle carved by ice sculptures deep in the canyon. As soon as Li Lin entered it, he saw through the transparent wall that there was a large lake behind.

The edge of the lake is unknown, and only a golden lotus is in full bloom on it. The golden light is bright and dazzling.
