Chapter 248: Temptation
“I know how to find the Snow Lotus!” Audrey answered with a smile, her eyes curved.
The others around her were attracted by Audrey’s appearance, so they naturally believed what Audrey said.
Klein raised his head and looked at Audrey expectantly. “What method?”
“Yeah, what method?” Adrian echoed.
“After Cole’s reminder, it reminded me of a book I read before. According to the book, the Snow Lotus is a spirit herb. It will definitely have a guardian beast by its side, which is the Snow Qilin,” Audrey explained slowly.
“A guardian beast in the snow?” Cole frowned. “The Snow Qilin?”
“That’s right.” Audrey nodded.
“Even if we know that the guardian beast of the Snow Lotus is the Snow Qilin, we still don’t know where the Snow Qilin is,” Hobart said.
Audrey looked around. “The Snow Qilin likes sweet food the most, and the Snow Qilin is gluttonous by nature. If it can eat its favorite sweet food, the Snow Qilin will definitely appear. Then, we can follow it and find the Snow Lotus.” She had already begun to think of a suitable place to place the sweet food.
“Audrey! You’re too godly! We’ll definitely succeed this time!” Klein’s eyes lit up, as though he had already seen the scene of their team successfully picking the Snow Lotus.
“But where are the sweets now?” Adrian asked in puzzlement when he thought of this.
As soon as he said this, everyone’s gazes fell on Audrey. They could not help but hope that Audrey would make a decision.
“I have some.” Audrey took out some sweets. They were all high-calorie foods.
These foods were originally reserved for them to eat. There was not much to eat in the snowy mountains, and the situation was dangerous. In order to maintain their stamina, they had brought many sweets. However, they had unexpectedly come in handy at this moment.
“Now, let’s make a good arrangement. After that, we’ll hide in a hidden place and conceal our auras.” Audrey distributed all the tasks.
Two hours passed. Four hours passed. Just as Audrey and the others felt like they were about to fail, a Snow Qilin quietly appeared.
In the cave a few minutes ago, the Snow Qilin, who was curled up in bed, suddenly opened its eyes. The tip of its nose twitched slightly.
“Delicious!” The Snow Qilin’s eyes lit up. All of its sleepiness had been chased away.
It quickly ran out of the cave and followed the smell to find the sweet food. It seemed like a human had accidentally dropped it here.
“So there really is a Snow Qilin? This is the first time I’ve seen one,” Klein exclaimed. However, Audrey covered his mouth in time to prevent the Snow Qilin from discovering him.
The Snow Qilin only felt that there was a sound. He turned his head and looked around, only to find that no one was enjoying sweet food without worry.
After eating a few mouthfuls of sweet food, the Snow Qilin wagged his tail happily.
“Follow me.” Audrey gestured to the people behind her to move forward.
Thus, the group arrived at the back of the snow mountain. There was a hidden cave in the snow mountain.
It turned out that it was very close to them. It was just that they had yet to find their way here. Audrey cursed silently.
“Don’t act rashly. Let’s wait for the Snow Qilin to enter first,” Audrey made a stop sign and said in a low voice.
Kate and the others nodded.
Audrey and the others were quite a distance away from the Snow Qilin, so the Snow Qilin did not notice Audrey and the others at all.
“Snow Lotus!” Klein’s sharp eyes noticed that the Snow Lotus was at the top of the cave. He pointed at the Snow Lotus and patted Audrey’s shoulder excitedly.
“The Snow Qilin has already entered. In case anything bad happens, let’s go and pluck the Snow Lotus first!” Klein was a little anxious and acted as if he wanted to pluck the Snow Lotus.
Hobart saw that Klein had already gone up to pluck the Snow Lotus, so he followed suit.
“Be careful. Be gentle with your movements.” Audrey was not at ease with the Snow Qilin who had just entered the cave.
Fifteen minutes later, they reached the top of the cave.
Audrey crouched down and carefully stretched her body toward the Snow Lotus. It looked like she was about to pluck the Snow Lotus.
“Audacious human!” The Snow Qilin’s angry voice rang in everyone’s ears.
After the Snow Qilin returned to the cave, it was so satisfied that it was ready to sleep. Just as it was about to lie down to sleep, its ears twitched slightly. A sound came from the ground as if it was coming from above.
Someone is trying to pluck the Snow Lotus! Its eyes were filled with anger. It charged straight through the mountain top and stood in front of Audrey and the others.
Audrey subconsciously retracted her hand as a precaution.
The Snow Qilin was not a pushover either. It spat out water from its mouth, sticking all the clothes on their bodies close to its body. The coolness seeped into their bodies.
“Hiss.” Klein immediately hugged his body with his arms, shivering from the cold.
The water that the Snow Qilin spat out was not ordinary water. It was a snow mountain water that was so cold that it went straight to the bone.
Kate and the others still tensed up as they looked at the Snow Qilin.
“You’ll go and pick the Snow Lotus later. Leave the rest to us,” said Kate. Then, he exchanged glances with the others.
“You wish to touch the Snow Lotus!” The Snow Qilin narrowed its eyes as it swept its dangerous gaze across everyone. Its entire body was in a tense state.
Klein and the others blocked Audrey behind them. This was the only way to get Audrey to pluck the Snow Lotus.
“Go!” Hobart roared and began to tangle with the Snow Qilin. The others followed suit and entangled the Snow Qilin.
