Chương 55: Snow!

"I think that Brother Lin is correct, I wonder what that might be.." Ku Wang said as he looked towards the peak of the hill. He seemed to be in deep thought at the moment. Zhu Long shook his head and said to Ku Wang," Brother Ku, I think that we will find the answer as we head up the hill."

Ku Wang nodded in approval,"Brother Lin is correct, We should continue to climb the hill. Then we can possibly find the answer as well as won't waste time by thinking about it in the same spot." It was true, both of them were certain that they couldn't find the answer if they just thought about it, standing at the same spot. But if both of them continued to climb, they would have a greater chance of finding out the truth or at least get ideas on it. And the other plus side was that both of them wouldn't waste time by doing that as they wouldn't stand at the same spot, thinking of possibilities.

Zhu Long and Ku Wang continued on their way up the hill. Just as Zhu Long had said, they aura did get stronger and the temperature started to get lower. As they headed up the hill, a question popped up in Zhu Long's mind," Brother Ku, why doo we have to climb this hill to cross the forest? I'm sure that time would have been saved if we had just gone around it rather than climb up such a huge hill.."

Ku Wang smiled when he heard Zhu Long's question," Brother Lin, the funny thing is that I asked teacher the same thing. He told me that it would be the same if we tried to go around it as it was actually an entire Hill Range with all of the hills having similar heights. That is why we have to directly climb it and not go around it."

Zhu Long looked confused but before he could speak, Ku Wang, who had already understood Zhu Long's confusion spoke again," Brother Lin must be wondering about the battlefield between the humans and the demons in the border.." When he heard Ku Wang speak, Zhu Long nodded implying Ku Wang to continue.

"It's actually very simple, Those are the art of the borders where the hill ranges end. If we travel along the border, we can see that the hill range isn't one entire long one, it is a series of small ranges with some gaps in between." Ku Wang answered in a simple tone.

Zhu Long smiled when he heard Ku Wang's answer,'I feel very dumb for not thinking of that, of course a hill range would end, it's natural after all.' He truly felt shameful for not thinking about that but then shook his head and laughed," I guess no one is perfect."

Ku Wang on the other hand had a weird expression on his face when he saw Zhu Long's actions. Out of nowhere the man in front of him suddenly laughed and mumbled some words. It felt even more weird when the man was Zhu Long, someone who doesn't act like that.

Suddenly, something seemed to fall on Ku Wang's face. He felt surprised when he saw it, It was a snowflake! Ku Wang hurriedly looked towards Zhu Long and said in a loud voice, "Brother Lin, This… is snow!"

Zhu Long nodded and put his hand up, where a small flake of snow landed. Zhu Long looked surprised to see this as until now, whenever he looked towards the peak of the hill, he couldn't see any snow but around halfway up the hill, he saw snow. This was something very weird for Zhu Long as well as Ku Wang.
