All they could hear was the howling wind, all they could see were snowflakes, and the sky was gradually darkening... This gave them an eerie and chilling feeling.
Of course, there's no problem if there are many people together.
As she walked slowly through the blizzard, Tomoko suddenly felt as if she had stepped on something that wasn't the normal soft snow.
"Wait a minute, what is this...?"
Tomoko quickly gestured for her two friends to wait a moment, then awkwardly bent down and blindly groped her way to the ground.
Wiping away the snowflakes, what came into view was a silvery-white disc.
"A learning machine? Are there such props in the wild?"
Tomoko was somewhat surprised; it was the first time she had found this thing, and she was a little curious.
Although modern illustrated guides no longer have optical drives and do not support reading discs...
But it's not a big problem. There's a QR code printed on one side of this CD! Beep! I vigorously wiped the static off the lens, scanned the image, and the full name of this learning machine appeared.
"Learning Machine, Rock Climb: A Normal-type move that uses all its strength to pounce on the opponent, sometimes confusing them." Tomoko raised an eyebrow; this thing was useless against her.
The rock climbing learning machine was just a minor incident.
It was almost dusk, and they were still in the snow.
The thick snow significantly reduced the three people's movement speed.
"Hmm, so we're going to camp here...?" Ma Xiu's face darkened. Would she wake up the next day as three popsicles?
Lin Xi was also secretly troubled. This heavy snow wasn't going to stop anytime soon, and this kind of place was extremely harsh for both cooking and camping.
There weren't any caves to shelter from the wind...
Unless you dig a hole directly downwards, you can barely manage for one night.
Although it allows instantaneous teleportation, it lacks coordinates.
It's said that the heavy snow will continue all year round... but it will eventually stop.
But these unlucky girls had bad luck; as soon as they stepped onto Route 217, a blizzard began to rage and intensified.
"Ah! A cave...?!"
Upon hearing this, Serena's expression changed again. She had just changed into new clothes and didn't want to sleep in the cave!
However, the fox beside her remained calm and composed, having already entered Serena's panda enclosure, and her movements were not affected in the slightest.
As for the Ice Sixtails, they were happily flapping their wings.
Even sudden drops in temperature and heavy snow made it even happier, as if it had returned to its hometown.
For an ice fox, the icy and snowy environment is naturally the most wonderful environment.
This prompted the Ice Vulpix to lead the way, its momentum soaring.
"Continuing like this isn't a solution..."
Lin Xi stopped for the moment, closed his eyes, and released his wave power perception outward.
If there are no suitable places to live within several hundred meters, then it's time to release the Garchomps and the others to dig a temporary burrow.
Or maybe we should take a gamble with teleportation.
Pale blue ripples, braving the wind and snow, transformed into a vast, probing net, spreading outwards.
"Found it!" As the power of waveguide enveloped the entire area, Lin Xi's face lit up with joy.
He found a wooden hut about 500 meters to the northeast...
It's truly a case of mountains and rivers blocking the way, seemingly with no way out.
Chapter 277 Monster, Snow Girl
Of course, without a blizzard, the wooden house is barely visible to the naked eye.
"Great, let's go!"
Serena exclaimed with delight, "At least I'm settled for tonight! As long as I don't have to sleep in a burrow!" She then happily picked up the fox and headed northeast.
"Hmm, that's a bit strange..."
After withdrawing his aura, Lin Xi still felt something was off. The surrounding area was just an empty space, with only that small wooden house standing there...
Moreover, the feeling of that wooden house gave me a sense of familiarity with that abandoned hotel in Watervein City.
However, there was nowhere else to go at the moment, so Lin Xi could only follow Serena's lead.
It doesn't matter, he's highly skilled and daring.
The short distance of 500 meters still took them more than ten minutes to walk, which made Lin Xi even doubt whether his wave guide power had malfunctioned.
It wasn't until they reached the small wooden cabin in the blizzard that they regained their spirits.
Judging from its rather dilapidated appearance, it doesn't seem like anyone lives there.
Creak...! Just as Lin Xi and the others were about to push the door open, the wooden door opened from the inside.
Ma Xiu: (?ˉ??ˉ??)
Serena: ???
Citron: (?_?|||)
Another paranormal event?
fine...
Inside the wooden house, a woman was found to be living.
Around twenty years old, she had a delicate and beautiful face, with a head of white hair that fell down, giving her a classical and mysterious beauty.
Qi Qi was relieved; as long as it was opened by a human, it was fine.
She was wearing a white traditional kimono, and the skin on her face, neck, and exposed arms was smooth and white, even whiter than the snow outside.
"Humans... a few travelers, that's quite rare! With such a heavy snowstorm, come in and warm yourself up!"
The classical beauty's voice was also very gentle and soft as she smiled and invited the group into the house.
This caused Lin Xi and Xi Nai to exchange a glance, somewhat hesitant.
This woman is so strange, especially her entire body is so pale... This isn't just a sickly paleness, it's a level higher.
Lin Xi was the most surprised, because he had just scanned the wooden house and there shouldn't have been any life in it.
His own waveguide power, so trash...
I should have used superpowers.
But isn't this also a place to settle down?
It's better than being in the freezing cold!
As the door closed, the howling sound of the blizzard subsided considerably; finally, it was a habitable place.
The furniture in this little wooden cabin was quite simple, but it was still much better than living in a cave.
"Please stay here tonight, three guests who have come from afar... Although this place is small, there is enough room in the living room."
The white-haired woman spoke softly and introduced herself, "You can call me Xueji. I used to be a resident of Xuefeng City, but I am currently living here alone."
Lin Xi politely shook her hand as they parted, saying, "I'm Lin Xi, ouch, so cold."
"Ouch, it's so hot!"
However, at the instant their skin touched, they simultaneously produced two completely opposite sounds.
Lin Xi felt that the other person's pale, snow-white hand was incredibly cold, without any warmth or color, as if she had touched a piece of bone-chilling ice.
If this thing goes wrong, won't Xiaolinxi turn into an ice snake?
Yukihime felt as if she had plunged her hand into a furnace, and the back of her hand felt a burning sensation.
Yukihime's expression tightened, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
Lin Xi instantly realized that this must be the legendary yokai, the Snow Woman.
The Ice Vulpix gave Yukihime a strange look.
"Miss Yukihime, your temperature is a bit strange. Are you sick?!" Lin Xi deliberately tried to get information out of her.
Yukihime raised a beautiful eyebrow. She couldn't very well say that she was a Yuki-onna (snow woman) monster, since a Yuki-onna's body temperature couldn't be that high.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin Xi...maybe my body temperature has dropped because I've been living alone in this snowy place for so long?"
Yukihime could only give a tactful reply.
In the world of Pokémon, there is also a legend of the Yuki-onna.
Legend has it that the Snow Woman looks almost identical to a human, but possesses an astonishingly beautiful face.
They often lure lost and trapped men to remote, untouched places in the snow-capped mountains, freeze them, and then steal their souls to feed on.
