Chapter 446: Chapter 320: Sudden Change! Xue Feng Stands Tall! _2
"Hmm... Tearing off the mask completely now doesn’t seem suitable. If we show too much strength, it’s easy for the previous few areas to unite." Xu Xin pondered for a moment and said, "If they unite, it’s not a good thing for now or the future. Let’s stabilize and observe first."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you!" Li Wenxi leaned into his arms and closed her eyes, seeming like she wanted to sleep a little longer.
"Alright, get up."
The two of them got up and walked out of the room.
On the other side, Keke crawled out of another room and saw Xu Xin and Li Wenxi. It made a puzzled sound, "Ying?" as if saying, last night, I don’t think I slept in this room?
"Keke!" Li Wenxi picked Keke up and gave it a good rub.
"Ying?!"
Silver King Mimi and Afu also woke up at this moment. Seeing Li Wenxi there, they were somewhat surprised. When she arrived last night, they were all still asleep.
Xu Xin walked to the window and looked outside. He wanted to see just how thick the snow outside had become.
"Huh?" The scene in front of him made his eyes slightly widen, and his eyebrows gradually furrowed.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking the excess of last night might have caused hallucinations.
But upon opening his eyes again, he was met with a very shocking scene.
"What’s going on?"
"What’s wrong?" Li Wenxi hugged Keke, walked to the window, "What’s outside that has you... huh? Huh?!"
"Ying!" Keke jumped out of Li Wenxi’s arms, leapt onto the windowsill, and lay on the window looking out.
Outside, in the swirling mist, the snowy scene was completely visible.
The snow layer was very thick, judging by the surrounding trees, its depth close to Xu Xin’s estimation, nearly two meters. If someone falls in, without a method, they might not be able to get out.
However, what stunned them wasn’t the anticipated snow thickness.
The two of them stared dumbfoundedly at the distance ahead, then their sight gradually moved upwards.
A mountain peak that shouldn’t have appeared, like a mirage, emerged amidst the swirling mist.
About less than a kilometer away from the treehouse, a towering mountain peak stood upright, reaching for the sky!
The mountain peak appeared very vague in the mist, a mysterious and majestic feeling came over them!
No, perhaps calling it a stone pillar would be more appropriate than a mountain peak.
The towering stone pillar with straight edges hung with white snow on its stone wall, making the entire stone pillar peak have a marked color contrast, creating a more visually striking impression.
And the mountain peak plunged straight into the clouds, above its halfway point, swirling with denser mist, most of the mountain body looming within the clouds.
So high! Higher than the clouds!
Xu Xin had seen this kind of stone pillar scenery on Earth.
If there’s not just this one stone pillar but a forest of them, this landscape has a loud name: Zhangjiajie landscape!
This is a landscape formed by quartz sandstone as the mother rock, shaped by water erosion, gravity collapse, weathering, featuring towering and straight stone pillar forests.
He was fortunate enough to witness that magnificent scenery, every stone pillar there was very similar to the towering stone pillar peaks merely kilometers ahead!
But...
Xu Xin looked up at the stone pillar’s peak.
On Earth, although the stone pillars have an altitude of over a thousand meters, that’s because the overall terrain is high, each stone pillar’s relative height is the most less than two hundred meters.
But the height of this particular stone pillar...
A thousand meters?
There must be a thousand meters, right?!
Moreover, the stone pillar giant peak ahead, its height-to-thickness ratio doesn’t seem exaggerated, it’s much thicker than the stone pillars he had seen in the pillar forest!
This stone pillar, this giant peak, is like a scaled-up version of the forest’s stone pillars!
It suddenly emerged, soaring a thousand meters high, without any commotion!
Don’t think a kilometer is short for a mountain; nearby is a vast plain, the highest hill is just a hundred meters!
Suddenly, a stone pillar peak a thousand meters high appears, truly astonishing!
The Mount Tai, solitary among the Five Great Mountains, only has an altitude slightly above fifteen hundred meters, while any stone on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is many times its height; it’s not the tallest among the Five Great Mountains, yet it’s called the closest place to heaven, attracting emperors from generations to come for ceremonies to honor heaven.
It’s because Mount Tai rises from a plain, truly achieving a commanding view, providing enormous visual shock both from below and above!
The giant peak stone pillar evokes the same feeling! Moreover, because it appeared overnight, standing majestically in the mist, it further evokes an incomparable sense of awe!
Xu Xin immediately looked around, still hoping to find other stone pillar peaks.
But sadly, the mist obscured his vision; this stone pillar peak less than a kilometer away was already enough.
The air was somewhat murky, making it hard to see far, this stone pillar peak just kilometers away was slightly blurred in view, not to mention further places, utterly unseen.
The entire forest seemed shrouded in severe smog.
"Why did a mountain peak suddenly appear?" Li Wenxi stared blankly at the mountain peak, she thought of something, her gaze moved downward, glancing at a particular part of Xu Xin, "...just like something similar, the change is really sudden!"
