Snowy Plains.
The "Secret Passage" Cheng Han had dug, though over a kilometer long, was actually just a "Half-Buried Style" passage.
Above it was not earth, but a layer of snow more than a meter thick.
There was no helping it.
The enemy had arrived too quickly. This was already the result of working at full speed.
Just as everyone was about to reach the exit, Cheng Han suddenly shouted, "Jump!"
While they had been traveling through the tunnel, he had repeatedly emphasized that they must obey his commands.
And react quickly.
Without a second thought, the group used the Magpie Climbing Style and leaped up with all their strength.
Bang! Bang!
The Warriors burst through the snow above them one after another, shooting into the sky at full speed.
Cheng Han relaxed slightly.
The most dangerous hurdle had finally passed.
In fact.
The timing of that jump had been exquisitely calculated—it had been a matter of life and death.
Had they been even a little slower, they would have faced a terrifying outcome: Boom!
The snow behind them transformed into a man-eating snow dragon and crashed toward them with the force of thunder.
This was a Mystic Adept's method.
If it struck them, even Warriors with powerful bodies would most likely suffer severe injuries. Being killed in one blow would not have been surprising either.
But because they had leaped in time, they had narrowly avoided the attack.
Had they jumped a moment earlier, the result would likely have been even worse.
For while suspended in midair, they would have had nowhere to brace themselves, and the enemy Mystic Adept would have had a hundred ways to kill them.
At that moment.
The group of Warriors looked down at the snow dragon below, all breaking out in cold sweat.
