Luo Nantian hadn't entered the Million Snow Mountains alone. Zhou Yan, Prince Tianlu, Gao Meinan, and the others had come too, though they'd temporarily split up to improve their chances of finding treasure.
Those with greater strength, like Luo Nantian and Prince Tianlu, generally acted alone. The others had to pair up in case of trouble.
Luo Nantian surveyed his surroundings, sweeping the land with his senses again and again. After confirming there were no treasures nearby, he prepared to leave.
He had just turned around when he froze.
Two people had appeared behind him at some point, standing very close and smiling as they waved. "Hi!"
While Luo Nantian was still stunned, a wooden club came down on his forehead. Even someone as powerful as him collapsed into the snow in an instant, sending snowflakes flying everywhere.
"Who... are you? How dare you... ambush me!"
Luo Nantian lay on the ground, twitching. He hadn't sensed the two approaching at all, and they'd moved so fast that he hadn't had time to react.
"So what if we ambushed you?" Xie Hong wore a black face covering, and his exposed eyes gleamed with smugness. "Got a problem with that?"
As he spoke, he planted a foot on Luo Nantian's butt and gave it a couple of light presses. "Well, that feels pretty good."
Qi Chuan put his foot on the other cheek. After testing it out, he nodded in satisfaction. "It really does. Nice and soft."
The two exchanged a glance, then broke into the same "kindly" grin. "Heh heh heh...!"
For the first time, Luo Nantian understood what it meant to have his hair stand on end. At the sound of their laughter, every hair on his body rose, and a terrible premonition filled him.
"Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo..."
