Chapter 153: Blood-Red Lanterns in the Snowstorm

So I just fell asleep.

Jiang Yun shook his head helplessly and gently pulled up the blanket back onto Qin Xiaoxi. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi’s baby sleeping posture was a little cute. Perhaps it was because she was too tired the past few days, Qin Xiaoxi was snoring faintly, but after a while, she made no more movement.

Jiang Yun smiled and then turned his gaze to the extinguished bonfire.

“It burned so fast.”

Jiang Yun took out more firewood from his storage bag and prepared to light the bonfire again. However, he stopped what he was doing in the next second.

Something’s wrong…

Jiang Yun carefully examined the fine dust on the ground.

The dust was trembling.

Moreover, the trembling was unusually rhythmic.

Jiang Yun was stunned.

But then, something terrible happened.

Jiang Yun seemed to hear the sound of a giant stepping on the ground. And the tremors were getting stronger and stronger.

It seems like the giant was approaching them.

What on earth was this?

From the sound of it, this huge object must be at least seven to eight meters tall.

Jiang Yun stood up gently and inched towards the cave entrance. Jiang Yun put a spiritual power barrier at the entrance. Normally, wild beasts would not be able to see the entrance of the cave, therefore, he could observe the outside without worry.

When he glanced outside, Jiang Yun was dumbfounded.

Not far from here, two huge blood-red lanterns were slowly drifting towards Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun frowned. He wanted to observe more closely, but the snowstorm was too fierce. The only thing that he could see was the blood-red lanterns in the snowstorm.

When Jiang Yun saw this, he felt apprehensive.

What exactly was this? Is that a monster floating in the air? The two lanterns were only about a hundred meters away from Jiang Yun. It was already difficult to see clearly from here. He had to raise his head to look. When Jiang Yun raised his head to inspect the strange lanterns again, the lanterns seemed to have noticed him.

He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but Jiang Yun felt that the two huge lanterns were staring straight at him.

In the next second, an angry roar came from the sky.

It was deafening and resounded across the sky!

Oh no… Jiang Yun was discovered!

The red lanterns that were suspended in mid-air a hundred meters away suddenly accelerated and floated towards Jiang Yun. He was shocked. What exactly was that?

However, in the next second, Jiang Yun finally saw the monster entirely. Those were not giant red lanterns, they were a pair of giant eyes! This humanoid monster had white fur all over its body and a face that was similar to that of an orangutan. However, the only difference between it and an orangutan was that the monster’s eyes were blood red!

The monster’s mouth was full of fangs.

The monster pounced at him angrily.

Jiang Yun immediately returned to the cave.

The deafening sound became louder and louder.

Jiang Yun felt that every part of the cave was shaking violently, and a lot of gravel fell from the top of the cave.

Jiang Yun quickly glanced at Qin Xiaoxi who was beside him.

She was still asleep.

How could she still be asleep after such a huge commotion? Jiang Yun couldn’t help but sigh. However, the monster seemed to be approaching the entrance of the cave. Jiang Yun could feel that the giant monster’s thick feet were standing at the entrance of the cave. Everything became silent.

Could this be the snow monster of the Northern Region?

Jiang Yun expected that the snow monster would be huge before he came, but he never expected it to be as tall as half a mountain. This was something that Jiang Yun never expected.

Rumor was that this monster had strong senses of smell, sight, and hearing.

Moreover, when it became berserk, it was like a killing machine.

Jiang Yun quickly moved towards Qin Xiaoxi.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t confident in fighting this snow monster. It was just that they were currently in this cave. If this snow monster discovered them, they would be surrounded. Even if they were to leave, they would have to face the fierce snowstorm and it would not be long before they succumb to the extreme cold.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi turned her body.

The barrier that Jiang Yun placed could make the beast think that the cave entrance was covered by rocks and that there was no cave here. It could hide them. However, he did not know if it would be effective against the snow monster.

The next second, a red light shone from the cave entrance!

This monster! Could it have detected something suspicious???

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi knocked over the bag beside her with one hand and a few sticks of firewood fell out.

Jiang Yun was stunned.

However, in the next second, he quickly pounced at Qin Xiaoxi and hugged her, covering her mouth. Qin Xiaoxi, whose mouth was covered, woken up in a daze.

She slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to see that Jiang Yun was covering her mouth and hugging her.

She immediately struggled and let out a whimpering sound.

“You perv…”

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Yun cover his hand and make a “shhh” gesture by her mouth.

The red light in the cave was getting brighter and brighter, making both of them look blood-red.

The next second, Qin Xiaoxi understood.

The red light was a huge eye!

Qin Xiaoxi raised her head slightly and saw a pair of blood-red eyes at the entrance of the cave. The size of the eyes almost filled the entire cave!

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxi felt a wave of fear.

The monster’s heavy breathing became unusually loud in the cave.

Qin Xiaoxi stopped struggling and quietly extended her other hand to grab her Yue Maiden sword.

Jiang Yun shook his head abruptly, indicating that she should not take out her sword.

The cold glow of the Yue Maiden Sword was bright. If the monster noticed the sword, it would discover the two of them! They might die in this cave tonight.

Oooooo…

For some reason, the monster let out a long howl. This howl was extremely terrifying, distant, and deafening.

Hearing this, they both felt scared.

Qin Xiaoxi instantly panicked.

In the next second, she didn’t dare to look at the blood-red eye again. She just threw herself into Jiang Yun’s arms and hugged him tightly.
