Chapter 103: Waiting for the Wind and Snow
in agreement: “Should we send it now, or...”Wēizhūn zhǐ kàn jiāng wàng, dàn mǒu zǐ shícì wèn zhe liǎng rén: "nǐmen hái yǒu shénme xiǎng shuō de ma"Jiang Wang only tightened his long sword and said, "...When heaven and earth meet, all divine abodes in the Shan Hai realm are sealed.
All sorts of mountain and sea gods, borrowing the power of their domains and names, protect themselves within their realms, warding off calamities and awaiting a time of celestial clarity.
Only the mysterious and elusive central mountain revealed itself at this time, its gates wide open.
As its name suggests, the mountain at the center refers to a location situated in the very heart of this world.
Its width is unknown, spanning thousands of miles, and its height is immeasurable, reaching tens of thousands of zhang.
When heaven and earth collapse, it cannot be shaken.
Perhaps in this world, there is nothing that can affect it.
In the distant wind and snow, a figure strides forward with determination.
He had a radiant countenance and wore a martial garment of red with gold trim.
One sleeve hung limply at its side.
The only remaining hand held a knife.
A thick-backed and sharp blade.
No manual force was seen, nor the movement of a knife.
Regardless of whether a hurricane, thunderstorm, or blizzard comes, there is only one rift in the heavens, opening just enough to swallow up all natural disasters.

The rumbling thunder seemed to be drumming a beat for him.
The lightning, stretching from heaven to sea, seemed to be cheering him on.
The heavens were collapsing, yet they did not fall. The sea surged backwards, but it could not crash forth.
Nothing could influence him. He walked towards the majestic Mount Central, carrying his own weight and vastness.
The clothes are hunting.
The wind is raging.
He walked alone like that through the apocalypse, step by step approaching Mount Central.
Came to a halt before the mountain.
Two people had been waiting here for a long time.
He was a bold and fearless warrior, with nothing to spare but his sword at his waist. His martial garb hung simply on his frame, and his gaze swept over all as if he saw nothing else.
While the five senses are subtle and cool, their temperament is approachable.
Of course, they were Chu Yu and Xiao Shu.
In this Trial of the Mountains and Seas, they are widely considered to be the weakest team.
Even Xiang Bei and Tai Yin, after losing the Jade Seal, first thought of finding Chu Yu and his companion to seize their Jade Seal. Even Zhong Li Yan, who was always impulsive and reckless, didn't even think of their names when he made a list of people to kill.
But now the two of them stood here, blocking the only path leading into Mount Central, with an air of arrogant amusement, as if they were laughing at tigers from a high vantage point, waiting for all the heroes of the world to come.
Long patience, long waiting.
They were Chu Yu, from a humble background, and Xiao Shu, who was just filling a spot.
In the Shan Hai Jing, there is a group of beings that are the least conspicuous.
At this very moment, Chu Yu's silence was a gaze fixed on Dou Zhao. His hand wasn't even near his sword hilt, yet his whole being felt like a sword already humming within its scabbard, brimming with anticipation.
He is waiting to be unsheathed, he is waiting to blossom!
It takes twenty years to forge a single sword.
The sharpness of this blade...
Who's there
But Dou Zhao did not look at him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He didn't even look at his sword.

Dou Zhao didn't even look at Xiao Shu.
This conceited man, his eyes swept past the two people in front of him, landing on the mountain path leading to the center of the mountain.
At the entrance to the mountain, there is a square stone stele inscribed with the words "Central Mountain".
He thought, "Indeed, he hadn't taken the wrong path."
"We've met before," Xiao Shu said, standing beside Chu Yu. His eyes were deep but his smile was warm and concerned. "What's wrong with your hand"
Dou Zhao said casually, "He was chopped off by Zhongli Yan."
He even gave a thumbs up and said, “He's making good progress.”
"This is too inaccurate." Xiao Shu complained, "This isn't even a proper sword swing."
Dou Zhao glanced over.
"Cough! I mean to say, someone like Zhongli Yan is no match for Brother Dou after all. With another group of competitors gone in this Shan Hai Realm, it's truly a cause for celebration."
He looked at Dou Zhao: "The last time we met, I had a proposal for you, Dou brother. Would you consider it again"
"Last time's question, this time I presume you're prepared to give me the answer..." Dou Zhao only then formally turned his gaze upon him, the brilliance and warmth in his eyes gone, replaced by an arrogance that was increasingly rampant, increasingly bold, increasingly fierce.
“Where do you get your confidence from”

He walked forward, carrying a knife.
And behind Chu Yu and Xiao Shu, one after another, warriors clad in animal-skin skirts, some wielding spears, others holding short bows and long knives, slowly emerged. Each was powerfully muscled, with long hair, painted faces, and a fierce air about them.

These long-haired warriors numbered roughly over a thousand.
The mountain path on Central Mountain was completely occupied, the ranks were tight and disciplined. Spearmen were in front, while those with short bows and long swords were at the back. In the middle, some warriors with horns around their necks drove tigers, leopards, bears, and other ferocious beasts, roaring incessantly for a time.

That tiger is a lean tiger, and the leopard is a hungry leopard.
The bear lying on the ground is powerful and fierce. The bear standing up looks even more ferocious.
Although not a strange beast, it is also a fierce one.
More importantly, the entire army was a cohesive unit, clearly battle-hardened and fully capable of waging war.

Among these long-haired warriors, four were particularly tall and imposing, clad in armor and wielding broadswords. Their aura was so powerful, it rivaled Chu Yu's own.
Under their control, the strength of this army can be imagined.
Xiao Shu turned back and muttered a few words to them, and they immediately stopped moving, their eyes fixed menacingly on Dou Zhao.
“There are 1,200 Mao Min warriors.” Xiao Shu’s attitude was still very good: “I wonder if I could have a chat with Brother Dou Let’s join forces to defend this place and eliminate all other competitors. My sincerity with Chu Yu is genuine, and you have more jade talismans, so your opportunities are greater. The chance of grabbing new jade talismans afterwards also goes to you first.”
Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi has it recorded: There is a country of hairy people, who are human-shaped and have hair. They take their surname, eat millet, and raise four birds.
These Mao Min warriors undoubtedly represent a powerful force within the Shan Hai realm.

Dou Zhao smiled and said, "You can actually speak the language of the common people!"
Xiao Shu smiled and said, "A master strategist's skill lies entirely in their words. If I can't even communicate, I should drown myself and be ashamed to see people!"
"To be honest," he asked in a casual manner, "Do you know why they're willing to help me"
It's conversations like this that are most intriguing, capable of dispelling feelings of animosity. Curiosity is the beginning of understanding, and Xiao Shu undoubtedly understands this well.
But Dou Zhao just shook his head, and said in a light tone, "I'm not very interested."
How did Xiao Shu persuade Mao Min, assemble such a team, and locate the central mountain beforehand to lay an ambush... it must be a very exciting story.
As the weakest team in the Shan Hai Realm, Xiao Shu and Chu Yu made a lot of effort behind the scenes that people didn't notice...
But he doesn't care.
He continued walking forward, no longer engaging with Xiao Shu. He only addressed Chu Yu Dao: "Chu Yu Dao, put more pressure on me. If you can sever my remaining hand, after we go out, I will make the call and pass down a Heavenly Punishment technique to you."
Battle Style Seven: Heavenly Punishment!
Dou Zhao seemed to treat the thousand and two hundred Mao Min warriors as nothing, ignoring Chu Yu and Xiao Shu as if they were air. He even wanted to reward them handsomely, in order to raise their fighting spirit!
His arrogance was such!
Who can resist the allure of the first kill
As a person from Chu and born in Chu, Chu Yu couldn't be any different. His eyes immediately brightened, his gaze sharpened!
But he soon drew the light back in.
"No, my objective is to slay you, drive you from this place. It is far more than simply severing your arm."
He gripped the long sword tightly, as if admonishing himself: "Absolutely not."
As the ancients said: "To learn from the superior, one can only achieve mediocrity. To learn from the mediocre, one becomes inferior."
I desire to attain that which is above, but how can external things move my heart!
According to the Eastern Longitude records overseas, Mau-Min-Guo is located north of Xuan Gu Nation, and its people are born with hair on their bodies.
According to the Da Huang Bei Jing Li, there is a country of hairy people who take their surnames and eat millet. They also employ four birds...and so on.
Ancestors weren't very meticulous, were they
Here's a summary.
Besides, “making four birds” refers to driving four kinds of ferocious beasts, generally meaning tigers, leopards, bears, and boars.
