Gregory looked at the group before saying, “It is impossible for land beasts to ascend the Motou mountains. Even for me, it is not an easy task to reach the peak. I will be taxed to the maximum just bringing her up, I cannot bring all of you up there. Since you cannot reach the peak, there’s no point in you entering. Why not just stay here and wait.”

Gregory was already being very polite as they would be entering the Moutou mountains the moment they crossed that stream.

The weather inside the Moutou mountains was far more harsh and cruel than the winters in the Beast World. Elvis was a Beast King and Lea was a fifth-level snow fox—the two of them might be able to withstand it. But Wabei was a snake and would immediately fall into hibernation mode the moment he encountered the freezing temperatures. And these freezing temperatures were a perennial state in the Motou mountains, which would mean… Wabei could forget about waking up ever again.

No matter how strong Auretin was, he was just a third-level tiger and would not be able to handle the onslaught of the wind and snow of the Motou mountains. It would be certain death for him.

“No way.” Lea waved his tail and chuckled. “I will follow you two in and then wait for you at the foot of the mountain.”

“We are coming along.” Elvis stated simply.

They couldn’t fly and there was nothing they could do about that.

But letting Gu Mengmeng walk into danger all alone while they wait in a comfortable location—this was something that… they could never do.

Wabei kept staring in a daze at the mountain blocked by the wind and snow. By the time he snapped out of it, Gu Mengmeng had already decided to have him and Auretin wait here. Wabei tugged at Gu Mengmeng’s hand. “Gu Mengmeng, look at that mountain. Doesn’t it look like the shape of my body?”

At that, Wabei morphed back to his original form before curling up and raising the top part of his body high up and opening his jaws wide, glaring fiercely in an attacking stance.

Gu Mengmeng looked at Wabei and then at the mountain, before nodding profoundly. “Now that you mention it, there is really a likeness there. But don’t all snakes look like that? If Snakel was here and took up this posture, he will look even more like that mountain…”

Wabei morphed back to human form and shook his head with a deep frown. “No, that is me…”

“You?” Gu Mengmeng was puzzled. But after seeing that Wabei wasn’t joking, she fell silent for moment before asking, “Little s.h.i.+t, what impression do you have of the Motou mountains? Have you been here before?”

Wabei shook his head. “I have absolutely no recollection of the times after I was just born. My memories only go as far back as when I first met Snakel. Snakes usually inherit the memories of their ancestors but I have no impression of my them at all. It is like my life only started when I left the Mecca Desert to go to the Snake King valley with Snakel.”

This bit was really strange. Really very strange.

Gu Mengmeng patted Wabei on the shoulder. “It doesn’t matter. Since you are so curious, let’s go in to take a look. If you freeze, I will carry you along. Unless I die in there, I will bring you in and carry you out, no matter what.”

Wabei stiffened his neck and smiled scornfully. “I am a male, how can I be carried by you?!”

Only a true friend would know how much mutual trust there was behind his challenging and scornful smile.

Let’s not talk about him turning into a block of ice—Wabei knew that even if he suddenly transformed into G.o.dzilla in there, Gu Mengmeng would still knock him unconscious and carry him out. She would never leave him behind.

It was just like the time when he developed a fear of Gu Mengmeng—no matter how scared he was of her, the moment he heard something happened, he would overcome his fear and rush to her side to protect her.
