Chapter 1655: Chapter 1655: So, Figure Out a Way
Zhan Beiye raised his hand and pressed it against his forehead, feeling as if he couldn’t catch his breath and was about to faint. Right or not?
What on earth was going on? Were they now supposed to figure out a way to climb such a mountain? And could the Cold Soul Flower Core at the top really be obtained?
Ignoring Su Tang’s question and not looking toward the other guards, he strode to An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun, squatting down before them.
“You saw it, didn’t you?”
He spread his hands in front of them, indicating no need for guesses.
“We saw.”
An Jiuyue, who was eating an orange that Qian Jiyun had peeled for her, saw that Zhan Beiye’s hand was empty and took out an unpeeled orange from her space and handed it over.
“Want some? It’s quite sweet.”
Zhan Beiye, not fretting over it, took the orange and started peeling it.
“This mountain is indeed unclimbable; it will be the death of people,” he said.
At least with their current abilities, they absolutely couldn’t reach the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain. They would probably lose their lives before they could even get the Cold Soul Flower Core, not to mention saving Xiang Qiyan.
“Mountains are inanimate; people are alive. There’s always a way,” An Jiuyue said.
“I…”
Zhan Beiye opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
“Prince Zhan, Prince Qian, what are you discussing?” Su Tang came over and asked softly.
He always felt they were discussing something. But did Jade Cloud Mountain have anything to do with them? What was there to discuss?
“Discussing how to climb to the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain. Su Tang, do you have any ideas?” Zhan Beiye sat on the ground, peeling the orange in his hand, while asking the newly arrived Su Tang.
“Er.”
Su Tang was firmly choked off.
Looking up, he caught sight of the towering Jade Cloud Mountain and the poisonous snakes that had not yet settled down, still slithering around the cliffs.
Just looking at it made his scalp tingle, so he quickly averted his gaze.
“Why climb Jade Cloud Mountain?” he asked.
“What do you think?”
Zhan Beiye countered, questioning whether he didn’t know what their purpose was.
Apart from the Cold Soul Flower Core, what else could it be? Were they going up there for fun?
Su Tang also figured it out, looking up at Jade Cloud Mountain again. The scene from before was still in his head, utterly terrifying.
“Is the Cold Soul Flower Core at the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain?” he asked.
“So, think of a way,” Zhan Beiye replied without nodding or shaking his head.
Su Tang: “…”
He pondered, even if he brought many guards, could they possibly reach the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain?
Or rather, could they kill all the poisonous snakes within the cliffs of Jade Cloud Mountain? The fate that befell the demonic beast earlier was likely the same fate awaiting those who wished to climb to the peak, right?
“Princess Consort, the Cold Soul Flower Core couldn’t have been obtained at the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain. Perhaps it can be found somewhere else?” he suggested, looking at An Jiuyue without thinking too much.
“So? Are you planning to search the Zhedu Sea Area again?” An Jiuyue asked him.
At those words, Su Tang fell silent.
The Zhedu Sea Area was incredibly vast. How long would they need to search it?
Looking up at the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain again, at least up there…
“Princess Consort, are you sure there is a Cold Soul Flower Core on Jade Cloud Mountain?” he asked earnestly, looking at An Jiuyue.
