Completely touched by Lin Xi's gentleness, the Snow Woman suddenly lowered her head to Yuuna, putting away all her hostility.
"I'm sorry... especially Mr. Lin Xi..."
Then Lin Xi and Xue Ji began their combat training.
This involves physical strength, endurance, recovery ability, and techniques.
Then Yukihime saw the scenery she had never seen before.
A bustling city, teeming with traffic, where countless colorful lights seem to rain down from the sky like stars.
Standing atop this building, overlooking the world below, one feels a boundless sense of grandeur, as if surveying all the mountains below.
Further away lies the sea bathed in moonlight.
The full moon floated gently on the water with the waves, drifting softly onto the shore.
Suddenly, the spray turned into a tidal wave, the sea surging like a stampede of horses in the howling wind, crashing against the shore with a deafening roar against the rocks.
This was a beautiful sight that Yuki had never seen before.
For a moment, Yukihime forgot her surroundings and was immersed in the wonder of this other world.
Lin Xi showed Xue Ji the beautiful scenery all night.
Yukihime went from initial shock and disorientation to experiencing a series of emotional changes, eventually becoming both reluctant and coy.
At dawn, Lin Xi suddenly opened her eyes and reflexively sat up.
Their eyes met, and Lin Xi suddenly remembered something.
Snow Princess sat on him; had he gotten up incorrectly?
Suddenly, Lin Xi remembered everything, and then remained remarkably calm...
Xiao Linxi got cold yesterday!
Chapter 279 The Legend of the Snow Woman
The blizzard that raged all night has finally completely subsided.
After the snowstorm, the sky was clear and open, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, which was even half the height of the wooden house door.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!"
Lin Xi's approach is simple and direct.
The fire-breathing dragon in front of him leaped out excitedly, clenching its fists, puffing out its chest, and then opening its mouth as wide as possible.
A blazing column of fire erupted, completely melting away the ice and snow along the way, creating white mist, and soon clearing a path through the snow in front of everyone.
"Everyone, please follow me..." At this moment, a soft voice came from inside the wooden house.
Yuki glanced at Charizard with some apprehension, but still walked ahead and pointed the way despite her discomfort.
"Charizard, listen to her and clear the way!" Lin Xi quickly instructed.
After all, given our own circumstances, how could we possibly not believe in Yukihime?
Charizard was bewildered but impressed. It couldn't understand how the two sides, who were enemies last night, seemed to have become friends. However, being able to unleash its flames freely at this moment was actually a form of training for it.
Following Yuki's guidance, Charizard kept spewing flames, leading the group toward a secluded corner of the road.
The fire-breathing dragon continuously released flames, melting the ice and snow; this process lasted for about twenty minutes.
Lin Xi and his group arrived at a very remote corner of the area, where some cold-resistant pine trees even grew, making it seem like a place no one paid attention to.
As Charizard unleashed its final flame, crashing against the rock wall at the end of the path, a peculiar sight appeared before everyone's eyes.
In a secluded spot near the rock face, as the surrounding snow and ice melted, a huge ice rock was exposed on its own.
This ice rock is made up of sharp ice pillars stacked together, about two meters high, like the spikes on the back of a pangolin.
Lin Xi was somewhat stunned; the rocks in front of her were clearly quite peculiar.
Even the flames from the fire-breathing dragon couldn't melt it in the slightest.
"This thing is called Frozen Stone. It contains unique ice-attribute energy. If Yinbu touches it, it can even evolve into Ice Yinbu." Yukihime gazed at the Frozen Stone before her and slowly explained.
Lin Xi suddenly realized that she seemed to have heard this saying before.
"So this thing is like the mossy rocks in the Hundred Generations Forest..."
Zhi Zi remembered the mossy rock she had encountered before, which also contained special energy that could allow Yin Bu to evolve into Ye Yin Bu.
But what is Miss Yukihime doing here?
According to Yukihime, last night, her Yuki-onna clan continuously absorbed the essence and souls of passing travelers, not for their own benefit.
It was to save a certain Pokémon.
"Charizard, please continue breathing fire." Yuki bowed slightly, signaling Charizard to continue breathing fire, completely scorching and clearing the area around the frozen stone.
With a burst of steam, the Charizard swept out a wide open area in no time.
Yuki, along with a few others, circled around to the back of the frozen stone.
But then, hidden behind the huge ice pillar in front, there was another ice pillar standing behind, though it was only about half the size.
The two icicles are connected together, as if they were born together.
But what's most shocking is that inside the smaller ice pillar at the back, there's actually a Pokémon frozen solid?!
Lin Xi stared intently and saw two small Pokémon inside the thick, icy blue ice layer.
They all have a triangular, cone-shaped, yellow, hard shell, while their interiors are jet black.
Through the cone-shaped hard shell, you can also see a pair of blue beady eyes and a row of cracked teeth, just like a playful child.
"These are Snow Children, right? And there are two of them?!"
Tomoko recognized the Pokémon in the ice; it was a Pokémon from the Hoenn region.
To be honest, this was Lin Xi's first time meeting Xue Tongzi.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with curiosity, Xue Ji could only smile helplessly and slowly explain the reason.
They are all snow maiden spirits who originally lived freely deep in the snowy mountains and did not have the habit of absorbing human essence.
Later, they came here by chance and met two adorable snowmen, so they settled down and lived together for the time being.
"But these two little guys are playful. One day they just touched and fell asleep next to this frozen stone. And that night, just like last night, a blizzard started."
The Snow Woman continued with a sorrowful expression, "When my ancestors went out to search the next day, they found that they were completely stuck together and frozen on top."
Frozen stones contain immense ice-attribute energy; if the level is not high, direct physical contact could even be dangerous.
But these two snow children were sleeping right next to the frozen stone, and with the natural wind and snow... they were completely turned into ice!
Upon seeing this, the Yuki-onna clan naturally felt an urgent need to break the ice and rescue the people.
They are snow maidens, and they do possess some ability to control ice and snow...
But the accompanying ice pillars formed by the frozen stone in front of her were no ordinary ice; their texture was even harder than steel, and they were simply beyond her ability to melt.
Her ancestors even tricked some passing tourists into using their Fire-type Pokémon to unleash powerful "Flamethrower" in an attempt to forcibly melt the ice.
However, the ice frozen on Yukidouji's body did not melt away at all.
"Therefore, our race has no choice but to use its own abilities..."
"This is the legend of the Snow Woman."
Xueji looked at Lin Xi and the others somewhat embarrassed.
The Snow Woman possesses the ability to absorb the energy and souls of human men, and then uses this abundant essence to melt frozen rocks and ice blocks, rescuing two Snow Children.
Don't be fooled by the current size of the ice pillar, which is only half the size of the frozen stone next to it... it was originally two-thirds the size, and much larger.
It was only after her ancestors used their vigorous energy and spirit to perform gua sha (scraping therapy) for many years that the skin began to show signs of gradually melting.
"So that's why so many people were killed..."
Tomoko nodded, suddenly realizing what she meant.
"No...we didn't kill anyone." However, Yuki quickly and earnestly defended herself.
Her ancestors would only drain passing tourists until they were on their last breath, and then dump them on the streets of Xuefeng City next door.
Therefore, only the legend of the Snow Woman is passed down here.
But there was no legend of a "murderous snow woman"... otherwise, this area would have long been a forbidden zone sealed off by Officer Jenny, and no one could possibly enter.
"Miss Yukihime...don't worry..."
Knowing the whole story, Lin Xi gently patted the latter's shoulder.
Chapter 280 Parting?
Then, his expression turned serious, and he assured her, "I will rescue Snow Child, I promise!"
He'll definitely step in if he encounters two Pokémon trapped!
Lin Xi raised her hand and tapped the surface of the icicle pillar; it was indeed very hard.
