Little Four said resolutely.
"Yes, I also think so. A simple survival test is indeed meaningless. We should still go to a place where there are people."
Baili nodded in agreement with Little Four's words, but at the same time, he raised a question.
"But I have a question. I feel that in this kind of harsh environment, people are actually very difficult to survive. We have Spirit Power in our bodies, and we are still wearing such thick fur, but we can still feel the bone-piercing cold. Then how do ordinary people live here? According to this question, should we find the place where people live?"
Baili's words were very important. He was actually imagining himself as an ordinary person. Under such extreme weather, he would think of how to survive here.
"It's so cold here. People must have some special way to resist the cold to survive here. Then this method … What is it?"
Xiao Fei and Little Four also nodded. Then they looked around, but they only saw snow-white. They really couldn't see any signs of people living here. They were now completely helpless. They could only brace themselves and walk forward.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold wind blew past. The four of them were all blown cold from head to toe. The tree branch that had been almost weathered by the wind had been shattered into powder with a "kacha" sound, falling onto the snow. It looked so obvious.
Little Four looked back at the shattered pieces of the tree branch and frowned. He turned around to look at Lingyin and Baili, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Are you sure... that there will be people living here?"
Little Four was really uncertain.
Lingyin, Lingxiu, and Baili looked at each other and shook their heads uncertainly, indicating that they did not know.
"Sigh, to be able to survive in this kind of place, one must be a very tenacious person!"
Lingyin looked at Little Fei, who was jumping up and down like a monkey, and felt that something was not quite right.
Xiao Fei was like a monkey, jumping up and down in front of him. It was as if the thick fur coat did not affect him at all. He was still as light as a swallow.
"Xiao Fei, be more honest. The environment here is unknown, so it's better for us to be careful."
The Gu King looked at Xiao Fei, who was jumping up and down, and said earnestly.
"Oh..."
Xiao Fei stood firmly on the spot. He looked at Yu Yien, not knowing where to go.
"Brother Yien, where should we go?"
He asked directly.
Yu Yien looked around with some difficulty. This was really too difficult. The surroundings were covered in white snow, and there was no clue at all. How could he find it!
"There are no clues at the moment. Let's go forward."
Yu Yien pointed in the direction in front of them and said.
"Yeah, there are no traces of human habitation here. It's hard to determine if there really are people here!"
The Gu King also shook his head. He felt that there was no living person here.
"There should be, but they must be living in a special way. They definitely won't expose themselves in such a harsh environment. Perhaps... they have a place to protect them, so that they can live on."
Shu Qing looked into the distance. She felt that there must be someone living somewhere in the distance.
While they were chatting, the Gu King seemed to have something different about him. Yu Yien stepped forward and stood beside the Gu King.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
He asked carefully.
"I think... I smell sulfur. Because people who raise Gu insects often use sulfur, so their smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people. As long as there is a little bit of sulfur, I can smell it. Now... I can smell a little bit of sulfur, which is almost negligible. But no matter how small the smell is, it is still sulfur. Sulphur is not something that you usually encounter or use, so asking about sulfur here is really unexpected!"
As the Gu King spoke, he used his nose to carefully sniff around.
"The smell of sulfur is very, very subtle, but there is indeed one."
The Gu King said with certainty.
"I may not be as sensitive to other smells, but this smell, I really won't make a mistake."
Hearing the Gu King's words, Yu Yien and Xiao Fei frowned. They carefully sniffed around, but they did not smell anything. The Gu King was right. He was very sensitive to this smell.
"Then in this kind of snowy place, what could emit the smell of sulfur?"
Xiao Fei did not understand and looked at the Gu King in confusion.
"Hmm …" Other than being used in medicine, insects, and for preservation, the most common smell of sulfur is in a hot spring?"
The Gu King said hot springs, and he was also puzzled.
"Hot springs …"
Hearing the Gu King's words, Yu Yien seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the distant white snow.
"It is said that the coldest place is easy to produce hot springs, then this place … could it be that there is also a hot spring? If there is a hot spring, would there be people who choose to live there?"
He thought of this possibility.
"It's possible!"
Shu Qing immediately nodded excitedly.
"Then our next step, should we go find a hot spring? If we find a hot spring, it's very likely that we will find a living person! And also … can we soak in a hot spring? This place is really too cold."
Shi Qing nodded excitedly.
"Let's find out first. We don't know the specific situation. What if the other party is very dangerous?"
Yu Yien pulled Shi Qing over and said to her seriously.
"Then... if there is no danger, can we go for a bath?"
Lee Zhaowen and Xiao Qi's team were a pair of couples, so the atmosphere was quite relaxed. Although the environment was harsh and cold, it was very romantic in the eyes of these two couples. Excluding their mission and eating, drinking, and excreting, this place was actually very beautiful.
"Actually, it's not entirely wrong to say that this place is not good. I think the scenery is quite beautiful."
Jiang Yanran looked at the white snow around her and the gray sky. It was a kind of hazy beauty.
"Yanran, don't keep looking at the white snow around you. Your eyes will feel uncomfortable. If you look at it for too long, you might have a snow blindness."
He Huan pulled Jiang Yanran's hand and told her not to keep looking at the white snow and look at herself.
"This place has a monotonous scenery. It's not good to keep looking at the white snow."
