Chapter 54: Strange feelings..

Zhu Long was surprised by the size of the hill. He looked towards Ku Wang who was standing beside him and to his surprise Ku Wang was also surprised by the size of the hill. "I thought that you knew about the hill, why are you surprised?" He asked Ku Wang.

Ku Wang shook his head and looked towards Zhu Long," I was given the directions only and was briefly told about the hill. This… isn't what I had expected, I thought that the tree was big.. But not this large.. This is larger than most of the mountains I've seen before." Zhu long listened carefully to Ku Wang's explanation. He had a look of confusion and spoke," It is true, This "Hill" is larger than most mountains.. I wonder why there is no snow, The higher we go, the lesser the temperature gets but this… I really want to know why there isn't any hint of snow on the mountain."

Ku Wang nodded in agreement to Zhu Long's words. He was correct, the height of the hill was huge but there was no visible snow when he looked towards the peak of the hill. This caused a small tinge of confusion in Zhu Long as well as Ku Wang.

"I guess we don't have much time to think about that.. For now, let cross this hill and head towards the the demonic continent. The faster we are, the better." Ku Wang said as he looked towards Zhu Long's eyes and rushed towards the top of the hill. Zhu Long smiled when he heard Ku Wang's words and followed closely after him.

On their way to the top, the duo realised that the temperature did indeed decrease as the further they climbed which made them even more confused as they couldn't think of the reason why there was to snow at the peak.

"How Far do you think we have climbed?" Ku Wang stopped for a while, and asked Zhu Long as he looked towards the forest below them. Zhu Long also stopped and looked towards the forests. At the moment, from their view, the forest trees looked extremely small. Zhu Long thought for a few seconds and said, " It has to me at least 3-4 kilometers.."

Ku Wang nodded," I also think the same. By judging the height of the hill remaining, I think that we are halfway there…" Zhu Long sighed when he saw the remaining part of the hill they had to climb. Although the two of them were cultivators, they weren't invincible, they could get tired as well. Ku Wang had used a lot of qi to replenish his stamina while Zhu Long, who couldn't use qi had to take occasional breaks. Even if he took the breaks, Ku Wang continued on his path as he knew that Zhu Long would catch up.

"Brother Ku, do you see or notice any change in qi when he started to head up the mountain?" Zhu Long asked Ku Wang with a serious expression. Ku Wang closed his eyes and started to concentrate as soon as he heard Zhu Long. Suddenly, he opened his eyes with a hint of surprise," Brother Lin is correct! There is some odd flow of qi and it seems like it gets stronger as we climb the hill.. I wonder what it is.."

Zhu Long nodded and asked another question," Have you noticed that the temperature has gotten very cold as well. I'm sure that if we climb a few more meters, the temperature will be cold enough to freeze Water." Ku Wang was surprised by Zhu Long's words, It was indeed ture! The temperature had gotten even colder and soon, they would reach a height here ice would start to form…"But… There is no sign of ice or snow.. How could that be possible, If it's so cold around the halfway of the hill, it should be cold enough to freeze living things let alone snow but.."

Zhu Long looked towards Ku Wang and carefully said," Brother Ku, I presume that this phenomenon should be related to the strange aura I've been feeling, which is even more chance by the fact that the aura is getting stronger as we climb higher."

Heya guys, The author here.

I want the readers opinions on something....

I've been thinking of writing a small short story at the end of each chapter, It's a way of giving my mind a break from thinking about this novel which helps to prevent any future writer's block. It will be simple stories( Not of the same genre as the nove;).

What do you guys think? Should I do it, or would ya'll get bothered by it.(The idea came from some other novels i've been reading where the author did that. I thought it was a neat idea)

Anyways, Thank you for reading!
