Bing Ling’er woke up and the first thing she saw was Chen Mo sitting cross-legged with eyes closed.
Judging by the looks of it, he must have been meditating the whole night.
She had never seen such a diligent Spirit Master.
Although meditation can somewhat replace sleep, prolonged meditation is extremely dull and tiresome, and few people can persist through it.
No wonder he has considerable strength at such a young age.
As Bing Ling’er’s gentle voice sounded, the Snow Eagle Horse set off once again. After a night’s rest, it had fully regained its energy.
After about half a day’s flight, the Snow Eagle Horse stopped.
"Woo!" (Such heavy snow!)
Xiao Jiu woke Chen Mo who was still in a meditative state.
Chen Mo opened his eyes to see a blizzard swirling in the sky not far away, a magnificent sight.
Meanwhile, where they currently were, only a light snow was falling, with an invisible dividing line seemingly splitting the two areas into starkly different worlds.
"We’re about to enter the depths of the Snow Sea Forest, where we might encounter powerful Spiritual Beasts at any time. We need to be careful."
Bing Ling’er said, feeling a bit tense inside.
She rarely ventured into the depths of the Snow Sea Forest, only a few times with her father.
Seeing Chen Mo meditating all the way, seemingly unconcerned about the potential dangers in the Snow Sea Forest, she felt the need to remind him.
Chen Mo responded, then marveled at the heavy snowfall below.
"The constant blizzard is a symbol of the depths of the Snow Sea Forest. It’s said this blizzard has persisted for hundreds of years, if not longer, without stopping."
"But if it keeps snowing, wouldn’t it accumulate?"
Chen Mo asked puzzledly.
You seem to have discovered a blind spot.
"This snow is very special, imbued with some sort of curse. Spiritual Beasts of Monarch Stage and above quickly freeze into ice sculptures upon contact. Hence, the depths of the Snow Sea Forest are also called the Monarch Restricted Area."
"No wonder the big shots of Snow Emperor City Lord haven’t personally come down."
After a short rest, the Snow Eagle Horse entered the blizzard.
The blizzard, swept by the biting cold wind, formed a vast white sheet, making it difficult to discern direction even with goggles.
"The land we are flying over is called Snow Spider Ridge, the territory of the Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider. We’re about two hours away from Snow Wolf Slope."
Bing Ling’er introduced, fulfilling her "guide" duties.
"Ling’er, could you have Xueqing head in this direction?"
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly spoke.
After entering the depths of the Snow Sea Forest, his Food Hunter instincts were fully awakened!
Many high-grade ingredients appeared around, and the direction he mentioned was the one with the strongest reaction.
There should be ingredients of rare quality there!
The Snow Eagle Horse adjusted its path, navigating through the blizzard, its speed noticeably slower.
After about 2 minutes of flying, a rumbling noise reached Chen Mo’s ears, as if the ground of the snowfield itself was shaking.
Soon, sitting atop the Snow Eagle Horse, Chen Mo saw in the distance two Frost Bears sprinting across the snowfield.
On the back of each Frost Bear sat two Spirit Masters dressed in white down jackets, glancing back from time to time with panic.
Judging by their expressions, it seemed they were... fleeing?
The next second, at the edge of the snowfield, Chen Mo vaguely saw a colossal figure.
It was a spider as tall as a two-story building, covered all over with snow-white fur, its eight legs like ice crystals, with gray-white rocky formations growing on them.
Unlike ordinary, sinister spiders, this ice spider had an air of purity.
Its eight spider legs galloped swiftly across the snowfield, stirring up massive snow mists, constantly closing the distance with the Frost Bears.
Chen Mo scanned it with the Spirit Control Bracelet for information—
[Spiritual Beast Name: Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider]
[Growth Level: Leader 2-stage]
[Species Level: Leader 9-stage]
[Description: A massive spider-type spiritual beast, often appearing in snowfield caves. It is irritable and bloodthirsty.]
Meanwhile, the top-grade ingredients that Chen Mo sensed through [Food Hunter] seemed to be moving with the escaping four Spirit Masters.
Obviously, these people had stolen something from the Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider.
"Quickly, run! These Spirit Hunters must have done something to enrage the Extreme Cold Spider, driving it into a frenzy."
As she spoke, Bing Ling’er had the Snow Eagle Horse change direction, running swiftly.
However, in the blizzard, the flying speed of the Transcendent Fourth Rank Snow Eagle Horse was greatly affected.
And the Spirit Masters on the Frost Bears also noticed Chen Mo and Bing Ling’er, a look of joy flashing across their faces, then they changed their escape direction, charging straight towards them.
Very soon, the distance between the Snow Eagle Horse and the Frost Bears and Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider became increasingly close.
Instantly, Chen Mo understood their intention, they wanted to shift the disaster east.
They didn’t need to outrun the Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider, only to run faster than them.
"Damn it! They’re Spirit Hunters."
Bing Ling’er exclaimed angrily.
Spirit Hunters play a mercenary-like role in the world of Spirit Masters.
Mostly, they’ll do anything for money.
Capturing Spiritual Beasts, collecting spiritual materials, hunting other Spirit Masters...
They are a group with hardly any bottom line.
Soon, the Frost Bears overtook the Snow Eagle Horse, and a young man with squinting eyes on one of the Frost Bears whistled and laughed:
"This Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider is yours to deal with, buddies. We’re off first."
They’re trying to make scapegoats out of them!
"Damn it, Xueqing, fly a bit higher!"
She wanted the Snow Eagle Horse to escape by gaining altitude. However, under the raging blizzard, 20 meters was already the Snow Eagle Horse’s maximum flying altitude.
And at this distance, it was still within the attack range of the Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider!
"Ling’er, don’t panic. We just need to enter the Heart of the Sea."
Although Xiao Jiu could easily defeat this Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider, he didn’t plan on doing so.
The four Spirit Hunters who fled evidently intended to leave them to die, so he naturally didn’t intend to let them off easily.
He wasn’t one for returning good for evil, he wanted... an eye for an eye!
At the mention of the Heart of the Sea, Bing Ling’er’s eyes widened, her expression somewhat dazed.
She instinctively forgot that Chen Mo had this ace up his sleeve.
Without a sound, the Snow Eagle Horse suddenly disappeared into the blizzard.
And before entering the Heart of the Sea, Chen Mo silently equipped [Swift as the Wind] entry to the distant Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider.
This was the true art of reciprocation.
"Go, Extreme Cold Snowfield Spider!"
