There was no time to react at all.
When Ji Jue saw the pale storm sweep past the distant mountains three seconds ago, it was already too late.
Three seconds later, the overwhelming blizzard engulfed everything, including them... From the heavens looking down, the entire world was shrouded in swirling pure white.
But from the earth looking up at the sky, everything was submerged in a sinister, boiling darkness.
The sharp sound of collisions was incessant.
The Little Niu Ma shook violently and uncontrollably, as if suddenly caught in a rain of bullets. The bulletproof glass, reinforced by alchemy, began to show streaks of white marks.
Countless stones, debris, snow blocks, or ice fragments danced wildly with the storm, turning the storm-covered darkness into an invisible meat grinder.
Crack!
The first to shatter was the searchlight mounted on the roof, accompanied by the distorted groans of the light frame. The light flickered, quickly dimming.
But even if they were undamaged, they were already meaningless.
In a storm that had completely become a disaster, even if all lights were turned on, they could only illuminate a few meters ahead. Even so, countless particles and fragments, even snow powder, continually appeared and streaked through the illuminated area, not clear, but filling everything like the noise on a snow-filled TV screen.
The only thing Ji Jue could do was to floor the gas pedal and dash forward.
Boom!!!
With a thunderous roar, the Little Niu Ma abruptly jolted and, without warning, rolled over in place, being blown like a tumbling gourd in the storm. It was a massive stone blown by the wind, crashing into the car body with an impact comparable to a cannonball.
Before being completely blown away, a giant claw suddenly extended from the open car body, digging fiercely into the frozen ground. For a moment, sparks flew.
It barely stabilized itself, continuing forward.
If the car body hadn't undergone countless reinforcements, plus the attached composite armor, just now, it might have been ripped open with a massive hole in the middle.
Then, the storm wind and fragments pouring inside would have shredded everything in the compartment to pieces!
The sounds of collapse and rumbling were incessant, the outer armor crackling. In the low rumbling, boulders or ice sheets kept rolling on the ground, lifted and blown away.
Worse still, the ground was shaking, each tremor stronger than the last. Ji Jue's hands on the steering wheel bulged with veins, sensing through the Little Niu Ma that the ground was in violent turmoil. It felt as if... as if some massive stone was rolling their way, but even after activating the Transcendent Vision from the ring with thirty times sense acceleration, he still couldn't see where the tremors came from.
In his vigilance, he felt someone tap his shoulder.
Next, he leveraged himself into the air.
Like a phantom, An Ning penetrated the car cabin's barrier, flipping over, and stood firmly on the shaking, violently shifting car roof, as if nailed in place, without a stumble or sway.
Skillfully dodging the debris blown by the storm, amidst countless howling echoes, listening sharply, at a moment's clarity, Ji Jue inside the car seemed to see a flash of dim light fly from the roof, instantly disappearing into the darkness, vanishing.
Next, accompanied by countless massive ice fragments and stones, sounds of collapse and explosive roars came from within the storm.
Millstone-sized boulders spun by, flying past the windshield, disappearing into the distant darkness.
Bang bang!
Low knocking sounds came from the roof, signaling safety.
As the Little Niu Ma traveled, the fierce wind surprisingly slowed, and the snow powder and fragments whistling past the headlights gradually disappeared, increasing visibility rapidly, illuminating the towering ice cliff beside the vehicle.
Bang!
The bumper at the front failed to brake in time, striking the ice sheet. Sparks flew, and the speeding vehicle abruptly halted.
Beneath the wind-sheltered cliff, cracking sounds continuously echoed from the mountain. This section of inexplicably formed fault had now become their shelter.
Ji Jue panted heavily, only now feeling sweaty all over.
When he looked down at the odometer, he realized that from the sight of the storm to now, they had only traveled a mere two kilometers... And before this, on a journey that barely needed a foot on the gas pedal, they had had to zigzag, intermittently moving for over ten minutes, even nearly getting lost.
If not for An Ning's premonition and guidance, he feared that both he and the car would have been overturned by the storm by now.
Thud.
With a soft landing sound, An Ning fell back into the cabin.
Only her hat had several cracks, and fine ice shards appeared on the exposed short hair, otherwise unharmed, as if she had merely taken a stroll.
She didn't even take a deep breath.
"It's so cold outside, Ji Jue," An Ning grinned, then Ji Jue felt a sudden chill and shiver down his neck. Two hands, still carrying ice shards and without warmth, slipped inside his clothes along his collar, like a snowball suddenly stuffed in, freezing Ji Jue into shivers.
In the rearview mirror, that smiling face was increasingly smug, shamelessly exacting retribution.
Righteously demanding:
"It was really exhausting just now, can I warm up a bit?"
"..."
Ji Jue rolled his eyes, silently sighed.
He didn't bother to warm her up, his body temperature slightly rising, allowing her to warm up.
