"Brother Er Gou, there are two young people in front, they must be adventurers." A lookout reported to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the two people, especially at Li Mengli, and a lewd smile appeared in his eyes.

"There's even a little beauty, it seems our luck is pretty good." The four exchanged glances, and their faces were filled with excited joy.

These guys had been in the Himalayas for over a month, and they hadn't seen a woman in so long. Today, seeing Li Mengli, such a beautiful woman, they could hardly contain themselves.

A skinny fellow then said to Er Gou, "Brother Er Gou, this little beauty is so pretty, you couldn't even find one with a lantern. And now she's delivered right to our doorstep, our luck is amazing."

The poachers looked at Li Mengli, drooling with desire.

Er Gou lewdly gazed at Li Mengli, "You guys handle that guy for me, and leave the girl to me. After I'm done with her, you can have a turn."

He then moved straight towards Lin Chen and Li Mengli.

Seeing Er Gou approach with a gun, a slight change appeared on Li Mengli's face.

Er Gou pointed the gun at Lin Chen and said coldly, "Boy, get out of my way, I'm going to have a good time with this chick."

Seeing the middle-aged man striding over, Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

These people were not only poachers, but they also intended to harm Li Mengli, marking them clearly as no good.

"What are you planning to do?" Lin Chen asked coldly.

"Do what? I'm going to kill you and then have fun with the girl behind you. Got it?" Er Gou said as he prepared to pull the trigger.

But at that moment, Lin Chen flicked his wrist, and a silver needle shot out.

With a thud, Er Gou immediately knelt before Lin Chen and Li Mengli.

The guys behind him froze upon seeing this scene.

"What's happening, Brother Er Gou? Why is he suddenly kneeling before those young people."

Er Gou, who was just thinking about pinning Li Mengli down, felt a sharp pain in his knee and toppled over.

At first, he thought he had slipped and tried to stand up, but no matter how much effort he used, his legs wouldn't obey.

Lin Chen snorted coldly and approached Er Gou: "Who were you just planning to 'have fun' with?"

Although Er Gou couldn't stand, he still had the gun in his hand.

"Kid, it was your trick. I'll blow you away." Saying this, Er Gou pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

With the gunshot, a surprising scene occurred.

The shot rang out, but Er Gou's gun barrel was forcibly bent by Lin Chen, preventing the bullet from being fired, ultimately causing the gun to explode.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Er Gou's entire face was blown apart, making him scream in agony.

The faces of the other men changed, and they all raised their guns at Lin Chen.

But when they saw Lin Chen rushing towards them, they were all dumbfounded.

Lin Chen appeared to fly towards them over the snow, a scene too bizarre to believe.

In the valley with deep snow, walking normally would cause one to sink due to gravity, but Lin Chen was gliding on top of the snow, his speed so incredible he seemed to fly.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Gunfire resounded.

With a few quick movements, Lin Chen reached a poacher, delivering a hand chop to his neck, causing him to faint on the spot.

Using almost the same technique, Lin Chen knocked down the other two as well.

Just then, Lin Chen suddenly heard a thunderous sound behind him.

The entire earth seemed to tremble, and when Lin Chen turned around to see it, his heart sank - an avalanche.

By now, Li Mengli was already petrified by the overwhelming wall of snow.

Without thinking twice, Lin Chen grabbed Li Mengli and ran swiftly towards higher ground.

Though holding Li Mengli, Lin Chen ran with astounding speed.

It could be said he was racing against the avalanche behind him.

But the avalanche moved so fast, it quickly closed in on Lin Chen from behind.

Seeing the all-engulfing snow about to crash down, Li Mengli felt her heart sink, thinking it was the end.

Yet at that moment, she felt herself being lifted into the air as Lin Chen threw her.

Bang!

Li Mengli landed on a cliff, but Lin Chen was swallowed by the avalanche behind.

In an instant, calm returned to the valley.

"Lin Chen!" Watching a sea of snow below her, tears streamed down Li Mengli's face.

Had Lin Chen not been carrying her, he could have escaped, yet now to save her, Lin Chen was buried beneath the snow.

As she mourned, she suddenly saw a hand in the snow.

"It's Lin Chen!" Driven by desperation, Li Mengli rushed over to the spot, frantically digging out Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen's face was already pallid, and he showed no signs of life.

"Lin Chen, Lin Chen." Li Mengli cradled Lin Chen, crying her heart out.

"Perform CPR." Just then, a voice sounded next to Li Mengli.

"Right, right, perform CPR." Prompted by the suggestion, Li Mengli hurriedly placed her mouth against Lin Chen's.

However, just as she made contact with Lin Chen's lips, Li Mengli sensed something was amiss.

Because Lin Chen's lips were warm, and there was clearly no one else around, so how could someone prompt her to do CPR?

And that voice was unmistakably Lin Chen's voice.

At this moment, Li Mengli opened her eyes and saw Lin Chen's mouth curling into a triumphant smile.

"Bastard, you dare fool me!"

Furious, Li Mengli bit down hard on Lin Chen's lip.

"Ouch, you little devil!" Lin Chen cried out in pain and almost jumped up.

"You rogue, you dared trick me." Li Mengli fumed.

But seeing Lin Chen get up, tears welled up in Li Mengli's eyes, and she threw herself into his arms.

"Lin Chen, you're alive, thank goodness."

Lin Chen chuckled, stroking Li Mengli's hair: "Silly, I'm a peak Demigod, buried by a mere avalanche would be a joke."

"You scoundrel!" Li Mengli's small fists pounded against Lin Chen.

But Lin Chen's thick down jacket rendered her blows harmless.

Li Mengli sighed as she looked away, "Those poachers are probably dead."

Lin Chen nodded, "This is the punishment they deserve. Choosing to poach here, they should have expected this."

"Alright, let's go. We need to reach Mount Everest before nightfall. I'll help you merge with the Spiritual Fire there," Lin Chen said in a serious tone.

Lin Chen and Li Mengli found a cave halfway up Mount Everest.

Though the surroundings were bitterly cold, with a wave of his hand, Lin Chen conjured a blazing flame in the cave.

Even more astonishingly, despite the cave being filled with ice, Lin Chen's fire burned fiercely without any fuel.

Lin Chen threw the iceberg snow lotus and snake gallbladder into the fire. Seeing this, Li Mengli was first taken aback before asking, "Lin Chen, what are you doing?"
