Shi Lei was not an idiot, he was clear about the situation before him. With just a glance, he could see all sorts of barren snow mountains, where would he be able to find a medicinal forest? Wasn't this a fantasy story?

Just then, Shi Lei suddenly noticed Chen Daning and asked: "What are you looking at?"

Chen Daning raised his head and said: "I suddenly thought of something, maybe I can find that medicine forest."

What Shi Lei was doing now was the best plan, and that was Lin Tan was also the knife-scarred man. He was not dead yet, he was searching for the medicine forest, so as long as he could find the medicine forest, he would be able to find Lin Tan.

"I remember that in the past, there actually wasn't a snowy mountain here." Chen Daning thought for a moment, then said: "Our Yu Feng Hall knew, this place, back then, was a barren land, I just don't know why, but it suddenly became a snowy mountain."

Shi Lei said: "Changes in the world, this kind of thing is not something that would never happen. Filling in the sea and building land can be done in a few years, let alone a mountain, but how do you know that this was not a snowy mountain before?"

Chen Daning laughed: "My old house used to be here, but you can't believe that my house is on a snowy mountain, right?"

After saying that, Lin Shan, the little girl's face immediately revealed a happy expression, and said: "In that case, what you mean is, this place might have a special domain?"

"That is not what I meant. It was just that it might have taken a long time before there was a snowy mountain here. Some of the traces of the past have been covered up." Chen Daning sighed: "So if there really is a medicinal forest, I'm afraid that it would also be buried by this snowy mountain."

Shi Lei's eyes flashed, and said: "That's right, we've also seen the possibility of an avalanche before, and that's because they do have empty shells inside and outside of the mountain, then that means, this snowy mountain is probably not completely covered, but, even if there really are traces of an avalanche being buried here, it's almost impossible for us to empty this mountain."

Chen Daning could not help but laugh bitterly, because what he said was the truth. Even if they knew that there really was a medicine forest in this snow mountain, or even if they had covered it up, with the ability of the three of them, it would be almost impossible to dig a hole in the mountain.

"Forget it, let's just look around. It's impossible to dig this mountain, but we still have to do our best, and since we can already confirm that Lin Tan might be able to reach this place before, then we'll try to look around. After all, the oxygen tank on us right now is enough." Shi Lei sighed, he himself understood in his heart that this was indeed the only thing he could do, because he really had no way of hollowing out this snow mountain.

Lin Shan and Chen Daning, who were at the side, were naturally clear of this point, especially Lin Shan. In reality, she didn't think that digging out the void in this snowy mountain was a good idea at all. Her brother was buried? It had to be said that this was the problem she loathed to see the most, because if she dug up the entire snow-capped mountain, even if she saw the medicine forest, it might not necessarily be good. Because it was almost impossible to find her brother. After all, she didn't think that her brother could use his own power to dig a mountain out of the ground.

If they really found him, there was only one possibility, and that was that her brother had also been buried by the avalanche. This was the worst case scenario, and also the one that Lin Shan didn't want to face the most. Therefore, digging out this mountain was almost meaningless to her.

In truth, of the three, Shi Lei almost thought that they wouldn't be able to find him, because it was impossible for Lin Tan to have so many oxygen canisters that he could hold on until now. If he really found them, then he would definitely be a corpse.

Shi Lei had told Lin Shan about this problem when she was looking for him, so when Lin Shan heard this, she naturally felt gloomy and depressed in his heart. Right now, she wanted to find her brother, but he didn't really want to find him, because if she really did find her brother, then what would be the point of finding a corpse?

So right now, Lin Shan's heart was undoubtedly very contradictory, and this kind of contradiction, was practically suffocating her.

Fortunately, half an hour had passed and there was still no progress. At this time, their oxygen tanks were already insufficient, or perhaps, it could only be said that they had enough time to leave the mountain. If they were to persevere any longer, they would still not have enough time to sustain themselves.

"Here!" Just as Shi Lei was planning to forget about today's search, and look for time tomorrow, he suddenly heard a surprised shout from the side.

Shi Lei and Lin Shan anxiously ran over, and saw Chen Daning heading towards an avalanche at the side … This was a mountain path on the side, but there had obviously been an avalanche here, because the surrounding rocks were all in a mess. There were even many traces, as if someone had squashed them.

"There were avalanches here, too." Chen Daning's face revealed a touch of heaviness.

Shi Lei and Lin Shan looked at each other, and both of their eyes could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, because this avalanche, was actually a rapidly flowing river!

Chen Daning said in a deep voice, "Usually there would be an avalanche, the most likely possibility is someone had been here before and stepped on a hollow place, so there's a high chance that your brother disappeared from this place. Because it's possible that your brother came here, stepped on some sensitive place, and caused an avalanche.

Lin Shan's face immediately changed, looking at the swift river, her face revealed a pale white color.

"That's not right!" Lin Shan anxiously said: "If my brother was here when the avalanche struck, it would be even better if he fell into the water. He is very good at swimming."

Chen Daning sighed, and said: "What's the use of being able to swim well, if your brother was injured in the avalanche earlier, even if he was able to swim well, wouldn't he die after being in the water?"

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment. Even if her brother was good at swimming, even if he was, if he was injured during the avalanche, even if he was, he wouldn't be able to survive if he fell into the rushing river. After all, from her alone, it could be seen that the water was very deep.

Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible to give his brother a chance to live. Thinking about it up to this point, Lin Shan's face once again turned pale white!

"Don't worry." Shi Lei walked over and patted her shoulder, and said: "If your brother really did experience an avalanche and fell down from here, he's actually better. Maybe he didn't even get injured, and just wandered around? "He's just unconscious. He was rescued by water and sent to the hospital."

Shi Lei knew that this was only a guess that had a very low probability of success, because if one wanted to survive an avalanche without getting injured, then the possibility of failure was very small. If one were to fall down from the avalanche, then one would die just the same. He was picked up by someone? Shi Lei really felt that he loved to joke around.

However, what could he do now? He couldn't just say, "Your brother will definitely die, your brother will definitely die!"

Lin Shan clenched her teeth and said: "I won't bother, I'll look for him first."

After Shi Lei and Chen Daning heard this, they immediately looked at each other. Because they understood what Lin Shan meant by those words. The reason she said these words was because she knew that there was another possibility, and that her brother had been buried in this place after the avalanche.

However, if that was the case and they found him, it would undoubtedly be a tragedy, because her brother would definitely be dead, and he wouldn't be buried here for that long.

For Lin Shan to say such words and make such a decision, she clearly knew of the situation. Shi Lei sighed in his heart, he looked at the oxygen tanks of the three of them, he could still hold on for a little longer, but it would only be for the last moment, if he did not find knife-scarred man's body here, he would definitely be able to go down the mountain.

Without any hesitation, they had to go down the mountain, otherwise, the three of them would definitely die from lack of oxygen. At this moment, the oxygen tank was already insufficient, if they spent more time, they would definitely end up as the three corpses on the mountain!

After that, the three of them started to search around the area, as there had been an avalanche here, so they had to be very careful. After all, in a place with an avalanche, there might be some sort of follow-up action, and if they were to accidentally trigger it again, then it would really be over. Before this, the three of them had always been very careful when they were searching, so they could not relax at this time, because this place was definitely more dangerous than any other place.

This also caused Shi Lei to inwardly heave a sigh of relief, because once an avalanche or something like that happened, he did not think that he could withstand it. Of course, compared to the others, his death rate should be lower, after all, his current body had already reached a level where he could not even break through. He was not really worried, even if it was a true avalanche, he should still be able to survive and crawl out of it. But the two beside him were different. Shi Lei did not think that the two of them could stay inside the snow avalanche until their bodies were able to crawl out.

It was fortunate that there were no avalanches, but they had reached a limit during this period of time. They had to go down the mountain, and at this time, they still had not found any traces of the knife-scarred man, nor any trace of its whereabouts!

Was this disappointment, or was it time to feel gratified?
