The little fox pondered for a moment before saying, "Based on the clues and the situation, this does seem to be the most reasonable conclusion."
Ye Wuji then asked, "If what we need to do now is to help that big white snake, then what exactly do we need to help it with?"
Ye Tiancheng observed the situation.
Ye Tiancheng replied, "Perhaps it's to help it leave this place. Snakes seem to be quite afraid of the cold. In winter, they even hibernate. If it's too cold, they'll freeze to death. This is definitely not a suitable living environment for this big white snake."
The little fox stared at the big white snake, dumbfounded.
He exclaimed, "Such a large snake, it could swallow all of us and still have plenty left, and it might not even be full. Not to mention carrying it away, brother, are you serious?"
Ye Tiancheng said speechlessly, "It doesn't necessarily want to eat us. Besides, judging by the condition of this big white snake, it's definitely not an ordinary snake. It should be like the big white tiger before, possessing intelligence."
"Moreover, based on the situation, this is indeed the most likely possibility."
The little fox sighed helplessly, looking at the big white snake with a troubled expression.
Ye Tiancheng cautiously approached the big white snake.
The little fox watched, trembling with fear, and reminded Ye Tiancheng from behind, "Brother, be careful! What if this big white snake, to ward off the cold, feels the need to eat some food for energy, opens its mouth, and swallows you?"
Ye Tiancheng made a gesture with his hand behind him, signaling that he understood.
As he got closer to the big white snake, he faintly heard some sounds. Only when Ye Tiancheng got closer did he finally hear clearly.
It was the big white snake coiled at the foot of the mountain, constantly making very small sounds.
The big white snake repeatedly said, "Cold... I'm so cold."
Hearing the big white snake say this, Ye Tiancheng knew that his guess was likely correct.
What they needed to do next was either to restore the weather here to normal or to find a way to get the big white snake out. Ye Tiancheng even felt that the former was more likely than the latter.
He just didn't know if the environment here becoming like this was also a form of seal.
Ye Tiancheng tentatively asked the big white snake, "How can I help you?"
As soon as Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, the big white snake, which had been closing its eyes, suddenly lifted its eyelids. It stopped saying it was cold. The big white snake's voice was hoarse, and it whispered to Ye Tiancheng, "Make the snow stop..."
What kind of request was this?
And how could they make the snow stop?
It was already so cold here, with thick snow and ice. Even if the snow stopped, it probably wouldn't help much.
Ye Tiancheng continued to press the big white snake, wanting to understand what to do next.
"How do we make the snow stop?"
However, at this moment, the big white snake no longer answered Ye Tiancheng's question and began to repeat "cold" again.
Seeing the big white snake like this, Ye Tiancheng had no choice but to walk back and brainstorm with the little fox and Ye Wuji.
Earlier, for safety, Ye Tiancheng had not let the little fox and Ye Wuji follow him to get close to the big white snake. He had asked them to stand a bit further away and wait for his news.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng return, the little fox stepped forward.
The little fox asked Ye Tiancheng, "Brother, how is it?"
Because the big white snake was too large, maintaining a safe distance meant being quite far away.
Therefore, even though the little fox had good hearing, the distance was a bit far, and the big white snake's voice was too faint. Even Ye Tiancheng had to get close to hear what the big white snake was muttering, let alone the little fox.
If Ye Tiancheng hadn't said anything, the little fox wouldn't have known that the big white snake had also spoken.
Ye Tiancheng walked to the little fox's side and explained, "The big white snake kept saying it was cold, and its voice was very faint, so I only heard it when I got close. Then, I asked how to help it, and it said to make the snow stop."
The little fox frowned slightly and tilted his head, looking confused.
The little fox said, "How do we make the snow stop? Did the big white snake say?"
Ye Tiancheng shook his head helplessly and told the little fox, "It didn't say. When I pressed further, it started crying 'cold' again and stopped answering my questions."
Considering that they hadn't received any hints when helping the big white tiger and the birds, the little fox didn't complain about the big white snake.
At least, they now knew the request.
However, the little fox couldn't figure out how to do it.
The little fox thought for a moment and said with a headache, "No other hints... Making the snow stop is not a simple matter... How exactly should we do it?"
"Can talismans and formations be useful?"
Hearing the little fox's words, Ye Tiancheng said, "No matter what method, we can try it."
Upon receiving Ye Tiancheng's affirmation, the little fox immediately began to try.
Fortunately, some of his methods actually had some effect.
The little fox successively used talismans, formations, and various other items, all of which were intended to alter the environment, directly increase the temperature, or change the weather.
Some of these items could directly bring out the sun and disperse the wind and snow.
However, the little fox found that although these methods were useful, once they took effect, there would be no need to worry about the snow and ice. The areas where they took effect would naturally begin to improve, with the ground recovering to become grassland and soil.
But no matter which method was used, it only had a small-scale effect.
If the effect was only localized, once it passed, the restored parts would immediately be eroded by the surrounding wind and snow, returning to their original state.
Although this attempt was a partial failure, it was not without discovery.
This also proved that the big white snake was not lying.
As long as the heavy snow stopped, the climate here would improve, and they would have fulfilled the big white snake's request.
However, making the snow stop over a large area was not an easy task.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox brainstormed together. Ye Wuji, nestled inside the little fox's coat, couldn't be of much help at this time.
After discussing for a while, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox came up with a plan.
They decided to first confirm the extent of the icy and snowy area. This was crucial, as it would determine how much effort they needed to exert to solve the problem, neither too much nor too little.
Secondly, the little fox would need to set up a formation. Only a large-scale formation covering a wide area could disperse the wind and snow here.
The previous small-scale experiments were naturally insufficient for the entire area.
The last point was also very important.
After the little fox set up the formation, Ye Tiancheng would need to help by using his cultivation to drive the formation and activate it.
For such a large formation, the little fox alone...
The little fox could certainly set it up, but the larger the formation, the more power it required. Even with his genius, he didn't have enough profound cultivation to support such a large formation, so he could only rely on Ye Tiancheng's help.
Fortunately, both brothers were here now, and they could cooperate fully without worrying about other matters.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox walked around the area. Fortunately, the boundaries of the icy and snowy region were quite clear. However, determining the range still took them a considerable amount of time.
After confirming the area, the little fox roughly estimated the area that needed to be affected by the formation.
At this time, it was better to overestimate than underestimate, as underestimating would easily cause trouble. If even a little was missed, they would have to start all over again, which would be very troublesome.
Patching up deficiencies was the most headache-inducing thing, so it was better to cover a larger area at once to solve all the problems.
After the calculation was complete, the little fox began to set up the formation.
Ye Tiancheng followed the little fox, lending a hand and helping with small tasks.
When the little fox finished setting up the formation, Ye Tiancheng moved to the formation's core. The little fox placed the core near the big white snake, so that if there were any other problems, he could respond more promptly.
Ye Tiancheng began to output a large amount of cultivation at the formation's core.
However, Ye Tiancheng did not output blindly. On one hand, he needed to reserve strength to protect himself, the little fox, and Ye Wuji, and could not deplete all his strength without restraint.
On the other hand, Ye Tiancheng was also an experienced practitioner and had good control over his power.
The little fox briefly explained to Ye Tiancheng, and Ye Tiancheng knew how much power he needed to output. Although his actions seemed fierce, in the end, the cultivation power Ye Tiancheng output was neither too much nor too little.
This time, after experimentation and meticulous calculation, there were no other errors.
The little fox's formation worked very well, immediately dispersing the wind and snow throughout the entire area.
Soon, the entire environment changed. The area instantly became filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the climate gradually became warm.
The little fox patted Ye Wuji, who was nestled in his coat, and then reminded him, "The weather has warmed up, and I need to take off my coat. Pay attention and come out quickly, don't fall out by accident and get hurt."
After speaking, the little fox received a response from Ye Wuji.
Ye Wuji immediately replied to the little fox, "I know, I'm ready."
His voice sounded quite eager.
It was indeed quite warm inside the little fox's coat. Except when he foolishly stuck his head out of the collar, Ye Wuji had not felt cold.
Instead, the little fox himself, with his hands, feet, and face not fully covered, had to endure the intrusion of wind and snow.
However, staying inside the coat all the time was indeed too stuffy.
Moreover, Ye Wuji, being crammed inside the coat, dared not move around, which was also quite tiring. Therefore, as soon as he heard that he could come out, Ye Wuji was very eager.
After receiving the response, the little fox immediately unzipped the coat.
A bird with mottled feathers quickly flew out of the little fox's coat. As the little fox took off his coat and saw Ye Wuji flying out, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
