Compared to Divine Sense detection, the Demon Insects possessed by the "Insect Puppet Technique" were like Zhou Chun's own eyes, which in certain situations could play a role incomparable to Divine Sense.
Just like now, when Zhou Chun commanded the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" to fly into the crevice in the mountain, the Demon Insect soon reached the place where his Divine Sense was blocked.
Contrary to his expectations, there was no Formation barrier there, but rather it was filled with a white, dense cold fog.
It seemed that what obstructed the progress of his Divine Sense was that very fog.
But how could an ordinary cold fog block Divine Sense detection?
At this thought, Zhou Chun immediately commanded the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" to charge headlong into the cold fog area.
However, to his great surprise, the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather," which was highly resistant to both high and low temperatures, began to stiffen as soon as it entered the cold fog area and was frozen into a solid lump of ice in no time, plummeting to the ground.
Although the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather"'s own life had not been completely extinguished yet, Zhou Chun knew it was only a matter of time, so he didn't persist any further and quickly withdrew his split consciousness.
After he withdrew his consciousness from the Demon Insect, he looked solemnly at Zhou Zhengyong and said, "There is something strange about this cave; it is filled with an extremely cold fog that even my Mystical Armor Golden Feather can't last long in."
After saying that, he continued, "Let's do this, Brother Yong, you and Xu Fu stay outside to protect me while I go in myself to investigate. If I can't withstand that fog either, then we'll have to ask the Supreme Elder to come and take a look!"
"Okay, Thirteenth Brother, be extra careful yourself."
Zhou Zhengyong nodded and didn't argue with Zhou Chun over the matter.
He knew the gap in strength between himself and Zhou Chun; if Zhou Chun couldn't make any discoveries inside, he would have even less chance.
After such instructions to Zhou Zhengyong and the others, Zhou Chun summoned the Silver Lightning Python Baibai and the two of them slowly walked into the fissure ahead.
The crack in the mountain was over a dozen meters high but only about a meter wide; such a narrow space meant that the Golden Armor Rock Turtle couldn't stretch out its body, and even the Golden Winged Tiger could barely manage.
Only the Silver Lightning Python Baibai could move normally inside it.
As Zhou Chun walked, he also applied several protective spells to himself, appearing very cautious.
And whether it was their intrusion into the body or some noise they made that caused it,
when they had delved about fifty to sixty meters into the mountain crack, Zhou Chun suddenly sensed many Mana fluctuations.
In the depths of the cold fog within the mountain fissure, a swarm of blue-black bats with wingspans of several feet suddenly surged out and quickly appeared in Zhou Chun's line of sight.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As Zhou Chun caught sight of those blue-black bats, streaks of blue-white ice spikes were already being fired at him and the Silver Lightning Python Baibai.
Without time to think, Zhou Chun immediately activated the "Profound Spirit Gold Bell" and enveloped himself within.
The Silver Lightning Python Baibai in front of him quickly moved along the mountain wall, darting forward out of the range of the ice spikes.
The golden bell landed, shining brightly, and each ice spike that hit the golden light shattered upon impact.
However, the cold air formed by the shattered ice spikes quickly regrouped, soon encasing Zhou Chun, along with the bell, in a large chunk of solid ice.
Seeing this, the Bat Demon Beasts that had fired the ice spikes thought they had gained the upper hand and quickly shifted their target to attack the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, who had just escaped a fate similar to Zhou Chun's.
But their attacks were a notch slower compared to the Silver Lightning Python Baibai.
At that moment, right after the Silver Lightning Python Baibai dodged the ice spikes, it swiftly hissed and released the Chain Lightning Technique counterattacking the Bat Demon Beasts.
Silver-white lightning zigzagged through the air, leaping from one Bat Demon Beast to another nearby.
Due to the damp environment in the mountain crack, the electricity was very easily conducted and spread through the air, leaving many of the Bat Demon Beasts that weren't directly hit by the lightning half-paralyzed, struggling to move.
Those Bat Demon Beasts that were able to strike back couldn't inflict any real harm on the Silver Lightning Python Baibai.
So, without Zhou Chun having to lift a finger, nearly half of the Bat Demon Beasts were killed by the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, and the rest were frightened into fleeing back into the cold fog area.
Only then did Zhou Chun shatter the solid ice that had frozen him and stepped out.
"Well done, Baibai, you've earned your keep again."
After coming out, he immediately praised his beloved pet and casually picked up the body of a Bat Demon Beast from the ground to feed it.
Then, looking at the other charred bodies of the Bat Demon Beasts on the ground, he also showed a contemplative and thoughtful expression.
One thing he could be sure of, he did not recognize this kind of Bat Demon Beast; the Zhou Family's Beast Compendium did not contain any records of them.
However, it was somewhat surprising to him that these Bat Demon Beasts could live in that kind of cold fog area.
Even the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" couldn't last long there!
And these Bat Demon Beasts seemed to be merely first-tier Demon Beasts, with not a single one reaching the second tier.
But now was not the time to research these matters. After satisfying his curiosity, Zhou Chun continued toward the deeper parts of the cave with the Silver Lightning Python Baibai.
Soon they arrived just outside the area filled with cold fog.
