Chapter 255 Snow Lotus
Chu Tian turned around and saw a white-haired old man standing behind him.
This old man has white hair and a youthful face, and he looks like an immortal. You can tell at first glance that he is a hermit.
Chu Tian was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Junior Chu Tian, greetings to the senior."
"Are you here to ask for snow lotus?" asked the white-haired old man.
"Snow lotus?" Chu Tian was stunned. "I don't know what snow lotus is."
"Snow lotus is a magical herb that can bring the dead back to life and prolong life." The white-haired old man said, "Since you have come here, you are the destined person. I can give the snow lotus to you."
Chu Tian was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior!"
"However, if you want to get the snow lotus, you need to complete a task." said the white-haired old man.
"What mission?" Chu Tian asked.
He didn't know what kind of challenge was waiting for him.
"You need to help me find my daughter." said the white-haired old man.
"Your daughter?" Chu Tian was stunned. "Where is your daughter?"
"My daughter was captured by a monster." The white-haired old man said, "She was imprisoned in a place called 'Ten Thousand Monsters Cave'."
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Monsters?" Chu Tian was shocked. "The Cave of Ten Thousand Monsters is an extremely dangerous place. It's full of monsters. I'm afraid..."
"I know the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is very dangerous, but you have to go." The white-haired old man said, "Only you can save my daughter."
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to the white-haired old man's request.
"Okay, I promise you." Chu Tian said, "I will definitely rescue your daughter."
"Thank you." The white-haired old man said, "I will give you a treasure that can help you fight monsters."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chu Tian.
"This jade pendant is called 'Heart-Protecting Jade'. It can protect you from harm by monsters." said the white-haired old man.
Chu Tian took the jade pendant and put it around his neck.
"Thank you, senior." Chu Tian said.
"Okay, let's go." The white-haired old man said, "The Ten Thousand Demons Cave is deep in the snowy mountains, so be careful."
Chu Tian left the Snow Temple and walked towards the depths of the snow-capped mountains.
Chu Tian walked up the rugged mountain road, the biting cold wind scraped across his cheek like a knife. The cold touch of the heart-protecting jade pendant pressed against his chest, as if reminding him of the danger of this journey. The Cave of Ten Thousand Monsters, just hearing the name makes people shudder.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the trees around him gradually became sparse, replaced by jagged rocks and bottomless ice cracks. The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, and Chu Tian knew that he was getting closer and closer to the Ten Thousand Monsters Cave.
Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the front, echoing in the empty valley, making people shudder. "Hehehehe... Another one is here to die."
Chu Tian's heart trembled, and he tightened his sword. He saw a cave in front of him, the entrance of the cave was covered by a layer of strange green light, and there were gusts of cold wind.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and Chu Tian could not see his hand in front of him. He groped his way forward, and the sound of broken bones creaking under his feet made him feel even more uneasy.
"Who is there?" Chu Tian shouted loudly.
He was answered with another sinister laugh. "Don't worry, you'll know soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of green eyes lit up in the darkness, like will-o'-the-wisp, slowly approaching Chu Tian.
Chu Tian held his breath and held the heart-protecting jade pendant tightly in his hand. The jade pendant emitted a faint warm light, dispelling the darkness around him and allowing him to see the owners of those eyes clearly.
They were a group of monsters with strange shapes, some had three eyes, some were covered with spikes, and some had long tails. They had hideous faces and were very frightening.
"Boy, you are very brave to break into the Cave of Ten Thousand Monsters." A burly monster with a bull's head said in a muffled voice.
"I'm here to look for someone." Chu Tian tried to remain calm. "You captured a girl. Return her to me."
"Girl?" The bull-headed monster grinned, revealing its sharp fangs. "You are talking about the daughter of the old man in the Snow Temple, right? Hehehe... She is now the beloved concubine of our king. If you want to take her away, you have to step over our dead bodies!"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Chu Tian drew out his sword and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the bull-headed monster.
A fierce battle began. Although Chu Tian was a skilled martial artist, he was outnumbered and soon fell behind. The monsters screamed, waved their weapons, and launched a fierce attack on Chu Tian.
Chu Tian was in a dilemma, with multiple injuries on his body and blood staining his clothes. But he still gritted his teeth and insisted, refusing to retreat. He knew that if he fell, there would be no hope for the daughter of the old man Snow God.
At this moment, the heart-protecting jade pendant suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forming a protective barrier that protected Chu Tian. The monsters' attacks landed on the protective barrier, making bursts of roaring sounds, but they could not hurt Chu Tian at all.
"What is this?" the monsters shouted in horror.
Chu Tian took the opportunity to counterattack, and with a flash of sword light, several monsters fell to the ground. The rest of the monsters were frightened and fled in all directions.
Chu Tian put away his sword and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the heart-protecting jade pendant in his hand, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that this was the life-saving talisman given to him by the old Snow God.
He continued to go deeper into the cave and finally came to a wide hall. In the center of the hall, a woman in red was tied to a stone pillar. She was the daughter of the old Snow God.
Next to the woman, a tall and handsome man was sitting on a stone chair, holding a glass of wine in his hand, looking at Chu Tian with interest.
"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked vigilantly.
"The King of the Ten Thousand Monsters Cave, Ye Mei." The man chuckled and raised the wine glass in his hand. "You are quite good to have made it here. However, you are still too weak."
"Let her go!" Chu Tian said, pointing at the woman tied to the stone pillar.
"Let her go?" Ye Mei laughed, "She is my woman now, and you want me to let her go? Who do you think you are?"
"You..." Chu Tian was furious and clenched the sword in his hand.
Ye Mei stood up and slowly walked in front of Chu Tian, her eyes full of disdain. "Do you think you can beat me? I advise you to surrender obediently, so as to avoid physical pain."
"Then give it a try!" Chu Tian roared and swung his sword at Ye Mei.
Ye Mei smiled contemptuously, dodged Chu Tian's attack, and hit Chu Tian in the chest with his backhand, sending Chu Tian flying.
Chu Tian fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up, but felt weak all over.
Ye Mei walked up to Chu Tian and looked down at him. "You don't know your own limitations."
He raised his foot and stepped hard on Chu Tian's chest, making Chu Tian unable to breathe.
"You...just kill me..." Chu Tian said with difficulty.
