God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 643 - 640: Ancestral Tome

However, the perennial snow on Kunlun Mountain has caused the land here to freeze, harder than steel by several degrees, making progress extremely difficult!

Seeing this, Ghost Face and the others immediately started to help, mimicking the effort, and the progress and efficiency were at least tripled compared to when Xiao Tian was working alone.

"What are you doing?" Hearing the whistling wind growing increasingly fierce, Sun Bo shouted at the top of his lungs, questioning sternly.

Apparently, in Sun Bo’s eyes, the actions of Xiao Tian and the others were sheer madness!

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Bo’s face suddenly turned terrified because he felt himself leaning more and more, followed by a huge "crack" sound. A tree as thick as a man was snapped in half, making him feel a wave of despair.

At this moment, Ghost Face kicked the half-fallen tree that was crashing towards Sun Bo, sending it flying aside, and then quickly pulled him to the side, throwing him into a dug-out pit.

"Get in quickly!" Xiao Tian shouted to the two.

Melinda knew there was no time for hesitation, so she quickly grabbed Lin Bingxuan’s hand and jumped into the pit without a second thought, leaving only Xiao Tian and Ghost Face outside.

The two exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and then used their strength to resist the wind, advancing step by step.

Reaching a massive rock, the two worked together, one on the left and one on the right, to move it in front of the hole, leaving only a person-wide gap.

After entering one by one, Xiao Tian kicked the ground and forcefully sealed the opening tightly, but even after landing, he felt no sense of safety and relief.

Melinda took out the Luminous Pearl from her back, holding it in her palm with Lin Bingxuan, seeking a sense of security.

The gentle light dispelled the surrounding darkness, revealing everyone’s varied expressions. Needless to say, Sun Bo was stunned by the series of events, sitting on the ground speechless.

Both Ghost Face and Xiao Tian looked quite grim, uneasily staring at the huge rock overhead as if it could be overturned at any moment.

At this moment, everyone finally understood the helplessness in Sun Bo’s words. The sudden change in weather indeed caught them off guard, something that an ordinary person might not even react to!

...

Fortunately, the rock overhead, against all odds, managed to withstand the ten minutes. When everyone climbed out of the pit.

Sun Bo’s face showed an expression of gratitude, having been saved twice left him speechless. Yet, as soon as he opened his mouth, his words choked, unable to continue.

Looking at the land around them, as if turned inside out, everyone realized that there used to be towering trees as thick as a waist, which were now gone without a trace, uprooted and swept somewhere unknown.

After being stunned for a moment, Melinda couldn’t help but ask, "Sun Bo, does this level of wind often occur here?"

"Of course not!" Sun Bo shook his head with a wry smile. "If it were like you said and happened every now and then, there would be no way anyone could live here."

After saying this, Sun Bo added, "In fact, the last time I saw such a strong wind was over ten years ago. I never thought I’d encounter it again in my lifetime."

Everyone was speechless, not knowing whether to lament their bad luck for encountering such a rare event upon arrival, or marvel at their fortune to witness such a rare occurrence.

After some rest, Sun Bo suggested to everyone to stay in the village, still appearing somewhat shaken.

Hearing Sun Bo’s suggestion, everyone looked at Xiao Tian, and after he contemplated for a moment and agreed, they followed Sun Bo’s steps toward his village.

On the way, Sun Bo offered another explanation for the ten-year rare wind, claiming it was the wrath of the Mountain God punishing the foreign robbers’ deeds.

Understandably, everyone left Sun Bo’s words without any explicit agreement or disagreement.

...

When the group arrived at the village Sun Bo mentioned, it completely overturned their previous concept of a village, surprising yet reasonable!

Accurately speaking, Sun Bo’s village was a large mountain where villagers had carved caves into the rock walls.

Below the caves, some ten meters down, a narrow path was built with wooden railings on the side as protection to prevent the elderly from slipping and falling.

In Sun Bo’s cave, Sun Bo held a rope extending from the crevice of a boulder, explaining, "This is to prevent snow on the mountain from blocking the path, so we built the road this low on purpose."

Everyone nodded in understanding, watching Sun Bo take the lead, pulling the sturdy rope step by step on the wall’s indentations, and then reached out to push open the blocking stone at the entrance.

Seeing Sun Bo waving them up, Xiao Tian gestured to Sun Bo to step aside. Then, holding Melinda and Lin Bingxuan by their waists, he lightly stepped off the ground with strength, landing accurately inside the cave. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

When Ghost Face followed closely, he saw the shocked expressions on Xiao Tian and the others, and couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.

However, following their gaze, he too felt a bit dizzy at the sight of countless neatly arranged medicinal herbs. This, this was like a gold mine!

After a moment of realization, Xiao Tian, looking at the neatly stacked herbs by Sun Bo, excitedly discovered that they almost entirely matched the ingredients Ghost Face needed for pill-making.

"Here, this is for you!" Sun Bo came out from an inner room with an ancient book, handing it to Xiao Tian.

Originally intending to decline, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but widen his eyes as he casually flipped through a page, beginning to read carefully. The pharmacology and prescriptions within were priceless!

"You seem to have some knowledge of these?" Sun Bo, slightly surprised by Xiao Tian’s reaction, asked, even biting back his prepared explanation.

Closing the book, Xiao Tian humbly smiled and said, "I only know a little bit."

"Good! Not many young people are interested in these things nowadays. This book is passed down in my family. My son has no interest, so it’s fate that it ended up with you."

Sun Bo’s words left everyone chuckling; it almost sounded like he had benefited.

However, Xiao Tian did not interpret it that way. Although he claimed to know only bits, his understanding in this field was no less than his martial prowess, hence he knew the value of the prescriptions. Just that Sun Bo mentioned them being passed down...

As if knowing Xiao Tian’s thoughts, Sun Bo laughed and said, "I’ve read this book most of my life, and every word is etched in my mind. I don’t need it anymore!"

Not being one to beat around the bush, Xiao Tian, seeing as it had come to this point, felt it would be pretentious to refuse, so he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Sun Bo, I’ll accept it!"
