Chapter 319: 【146】Deep in the Snowy Mountains_5
It’s been three or four days since arriving deep in South Jinping Mountain, and Wang Longhu has not eaten even once during this time. Even when there’s a slight feeling of hunger, it quickly dissipates.
But today, he can’t resist anymore; a pressing urge to eat has appeared in his body for the first time.
"Just how big is this place? Despite my pace, I haven’t fully explored its entirety. Let alone the headquarters of the White Lotus Society, I haven’t even seen the edge of South Jinping Mountain." Wang Longhu jumped off a rock, pondering in bewilderment.
...
[Name: Wang Longhu]
[Strength: 12.01]
[Physique: 9.55]
[Spirit: 7.35]
[Skills: (multiple martial arts, omitted) Childlike Skill Lv5 (430/500), Wudang Golden Toad Skill Lv4 (15/400), Marrow Cleansing Scripture Lv2 (120/200), Five Elements Shattering Force Lv Grandmaster (integrated management, mountain shattering strike) Three-inch Gang Qi Lv Grandmaster (harming people from afar, sharp gang qi)]
[Potential Points: 0]
...
Previously, after sparring and beating the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Wang Longhu took a jug of wine that the alliance leader had been drinking before he left.
Although there was only half a jug left, it still gave Wang Longhu 2.32 potential points.
Once he increased his strength from 11.89 to break the 12-point mark, Wang Longhu used the remaining potential points to enhance his physique.
Greater strength necessitates a strong physique for support.
Just like constructing a high-rise building requires a solid foundation, building high without a base is useless; only with a secure foundation will the building stand strong.
Having felt the destructive power that great strength brought him, Wang Longhu dared not neglect his physique, thus enhancing it as well.
Thus, arriving alone at the White Lotus Society territory, with the intent to kill Oda Hongxin, Wang Longhu’s confidence grew stronger.
"I should catch a wild beast to fill my stomach. With my physique, I shouldn’t fear any parasites." Wang Longhu touched his belly and immediately headed north.
He remembered there was a small stream that still flowed there; in the wild, where there is water, animals are likely present, saving Wang Longhu from aimlessly searching.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Just as Wang Longhu walked a few steps, a sudden roar sounded from the sky, definitely something no animal could make.
Wang Longhu immediately looked up, seeing a small black dot flying towards him at low altitude.
Helicopter!
Wang Longhu was somewhat puzzled; in this remote and desolate mountain wilderness, how could there be a helicopter?
Where was it heading?
A bold idea emerged in Wang Longhu’s mind: could this helicopter belong to the White Lotus Society?
"This altitude isn’t too high above the ground. If I find a high spot, maybe I can try." Wang Longhu pondered inwardly, then dashed towards a nearby mountain peak.
This mountain peak was around 800 meters high; if he found the right spot and seized the opportunity, jumping onto that helicopter wasn’t out of the question.
...
"It’s been a long time since His Majesty held a meeting. I wonder why we are being called back this time."
In the helicopter cabin, two muscular men with scraggly beards gazed at the scenery outside, chatting while puffing on cigars.
If there were senior members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance present, they would recognize them as none other than Ma Dongtian, ranked 61st globally, and Huang Zemin, ranked 73rd.
These two were Koreans, so joining the White Lotus Society was a natural thing.
"His Majesty usually holds meetings only for significant matters. Perhaps the Outer Canon of the Yellow Emperor has made new progress, calling us back to update the meridian charts,
Or maybe there’s progress in the research on the components of the Enlightenment Potion. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the privilege to freely access the Holy Mountain."
The two men chatted amiably, looking quite at ease.
With the White Lotus Society as their backing, everything was at their beck and call—money, women, power aplenty, enjoying a highly prosperous life.
Only the members of the White Lotus Society know one thing:
That within the White Lotus Society, only the ones with weaker skills are left outside to live like ordinary people.
The true experts of the White Lotus Society reside within the headquarters, engaging in some kind of training.
Buzz buzz buzz!
As the helicopter passed over the mountain peak’s summit, the rotor noise was loud while underneath the helicopter was a blind spot.
Wang Longhu, having waited at the mountain top for a long time, sprang up. At his full burst, a large chunk of rock crumbled away.
Using terrifying explosive power for a jump, Wang Longhu soared eight or nine meters high, grabbing onto the landing gear overhead.
Heading with the helicopter deeper into South Jinping Mountain.
The pilot and the two passengers inside the helicopter did not even notice that a stowaway had silently joined them on the helicopter.
Wang Longhu grasped the landing gear rod with both hands, letting the strong winds mess up his hair and clothes while his body swung in the air.
This dangling feeling was more thrilling than any bungee drop or roller coaster, like dancing on the edge of the ghost gate.
If Wang Longhu loosened his grip, he would fall hundreds of meters to the ground, likely ending up a pile of mashed flesh regardless of his strong physique.
The helicopter speedily flew over one snow-capped mountain after another, each representing a life-forbidden zone.
As it traversed a patch of gray, cold mist, emerging from the fog instantly plunged everything into silence, immersed in absolute stillness.
Wang Longhu squinted, incredulous at the sight before him.
Deep within the snow-capped mountain lay a gigantic lake, with crystal clear waters.
Under the warm sunlight, looking down from the sky, it was like a mirror resting on the earth.
And at the center of the lake stood a towering mountain peak, incredibly high, piercing straight into the sky.
The helicopter suddenly surged upward, rushing full speed to the mountain summit.
Wang Longhu feared it might be a trap and dared not follow the helicopter to the summit. Being the White Lotus Society headquarters, firearms guard would surely be present.
The closer to the peak, the stricter the guards; following the helicopter upwards was a surefire way to seek death—one-way ticket.
Wang Longhu seized an opportunity, swinging his arms vigorously to hurl himself onto the mountain peak cliffside.
As he grabbed onto a protruding rock, he swiftly clung onto the cliff.
From this spot, it was at least five to six hundred meters above the ground, and falling from such height would have disastrous consequences.
Now, Wang Longhu could only rely on his own strength to discreetly climb to the mountaintop.
