An avalanche happened.
It was atrocious.
The vast amount of snow poured down, completely covered the land in Skyline Mountain.
However, within a short time, as the avalanche stopped, the mountain forest once again became silent and one could only hear the sound of wind and snow blowing there.
However, the avalanche had caused a huge difference. Before the avalanche happened, the animals were wandering and roaming freely in the silence.
After the avalanche happened, it was completely silent as the animals at the place vanished and the place became deserted.
All that remained there was the long thousand-meter road that was covered in snow after the avalanche.
Tonight, it was still snowy and windy in Skyline Mountain.
No one came to Skyline Mountain again.
The people who lived near Skyline Mountain wouldn’t go near the place at night.
Moreover, for the foreign tribes natives who lived near Skyline Mountain, they wouldn’t be surprised to witness an avalanche occurred in the majestic Skyline Mountain as it was a common occurrence.
As the sky turned bright in the morning, the sun rose and shone its light on the snowy ground.
On the ground where the avalanche happened last night, it was flat and glistening in the sunlight. There were bumps in some spots and the branches of large trees could be seen.
It was deserted.
The wind and snow had also abated.
The temperature had risen slightly.
It was extremely silent at the place.
After the avalanche, everything had vanished.
Yet.
A “bang” sound rang out.
In a place buried in snow, a large blood-stained hand suddenly came out from the snow and a man slowly moved its stiffened fingers under the rising sun.
The scene was eerie and ghostly.
As the blood-stained hand came out from the snow, the snow was pushed up from the ground.
A human came out from the snow with great difficulty.
It was Jack.
But at this moment, Jack’s face was pale and injured. He was covered with snow and cold ice. His right hand was pressed hard on the position where his heart stayed. His hand pressed on the horse flesh which had been frozen long ago. However, at this moment, because of the freezing, Jack’s hand and the horse flesh were stuck to each other, and the horse flesh was stuck to the position where his heart stayed.
Splash…
Shaking the snow off his body, Jack staggered backwards and fell with a “wham” sound as he sat down in the snow.
Being buried overnight had made him feel desperate.
In the snowy mountain which was freezing cold, the most terrifying thing was to fall asleep or become unconscious in the freezing snow.
For many people, they might never wake up again.
Jack was buried in snow overnight and managed to survive. Perhaps he could survive by relying on the residual warmth of the horse flesh to warm his heart for a while, or perhaps … a miracle happened!
Jack fell on the snowy ground and looked stunned. There were snow and ice crystals on the corners of his eyes and eyelashes.
His purplish lips slowly opened, saying, “Who am I…”
As he said the words, he also raised his left hand and hammered his head hard a few times.
But at this moment, his mind was blank, and he couldn’t remember anything.
As he tried to recall the past, his face instantly displayed a painful look as if countless sharp needles were stirring in his mind.
“Ah!”
With a wail of pain, Jack’s face suddenly turned hideous.
His eyes which looked blank and were bloodshot finally became clear at the moment.
“Who am I?”
“Who the hell am I?”
He shook his head hard, with a grim look. However, his eyes which could see what was in front of him displayed a puzzled look.
No matter how hard he tried to recall the past, his mind was blank.
The pain in his head turned even more excruciating and he could feel his whole body was in pain.
In the end, Jack collapsed directly onto the snow. He was shaking and twitching in pain, rolling on the ground multiple times.
