No one knew how long it had been, but Qian Qi was sprawled across the Ice Ruins, exhausted like a dead fish.
She weakly said, "I can’t go on, I really can’t..."
Even though she had the White Extreme Rat to carry her around, being constantly hit by the Ice Soul Xuanlong Grass was still painful. Even with the S-level Defense Armor, it hurts if it keeps hitting the same spot, okay!
Even water can bore through stone, you know!
Seeing Qian Qi lying motionless on the ground, the White Extreme Rat whispered a few words to the nearby White Extreme Rats, and soon they ran over holding a few fruits and placed them in front of Qian Qi.
Their survival philosophy was reciprocity—since Qian Qi had saved their kin in the Ice Ruins, they naturally had to take care of Qian Qi in return.
Qian Qi was indeed hungry. She swallowed her saliva and used the Decoding Technique to scan the fruits.
Ice Smoke Fruit, C-level fruit, suitable for improving the powers of C-level and below Ice Attribute Magic Beasts. Non-Ice Attribute Magic Beasts can also eat it, but it only fills the belly and replenishes energy; eating too much can cause diarrhea.
Unfortunately, humans can’t eat it.
With the good virtue of not wasting food, Qian Qi summoned Qian Ba from the Beast Taming Space and handed the remaining Ice Smoke Fruits to it.
When Qian Ba came out, it was wrapped in a pile of books. Seeing the Ice Smoke Fruit, it became very curious, pawed at it, and bit down, a fresh burst of icy smoke surprising it, "Wow~ so fun~"
Qian Qi had just laughed when she heard countless sharp intakes of breath around her. She looked up in confusion to find all the Magic Beasts staring at her and Qian Ba, their eyes filled with a mixture of astonishment, fright, and many indescribable emotions.
The sight was terrifying.
What, never seen a fresh and delicious Beast Master before?
With a vague sense of dread, Qian Qi’s small hand slowly reached for the helmet beside her, planning to put it on quickly for protection when all the Magic Beasts suddenly stood up and rushed towards her!
As she put on her helmet and pulled Qian Ba into the Beast Taming Space, she ran for her life, but two legs couldn’t outrun a thousand, and she was quickly caught by the initial Demon Bear, which threw her onto its head, heading for the distant snowy peaks.
"Ahhh—System! I’ve been kidnapped by Magic Beasts!" Qian Qi clung to the Demon Bear’s head, completely bewildered and confused.
Where was this Demon Bear taking her?
Why were these Magic Beasts chasing her? Didn’t they say the higher the level of the Magic Beast, the pickier they were with food, and the less interested in eating humans?
Or did they want to eat Qian Ba?
Neither humans nor beasts could answer her questions. The Demon Bear leapt into the air, crossing miles to land upon a Glacier Valley, while the White Extreme Rats dove into the ice, desperately chasing after, their sharp sound waves seemingly angrily warning of something.
Just when Qian Qi thought this Demon Bear was being grateful and intended to help her escape the boss, more than a dozen giant silver Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves suddenly caught up to them, their brakes leaving deep claw marks in the snow as their savage jaws bared sharp, coarse fangs, growling a warning to the Demon Bear.
For some reason, Qian Qi found these silver-furred giant wolves very familiar—maybe because they were entirely silver-haired and, like the Moon Silver Demon Wolf, had a pair of ice-blue beast eyes, though theirs sported a small silver crescent. A silver pattern on their forehead glinted fiercely in the refractions of snow and sunlight, dazzling her eyes.
One silver wolf howled to the sky, and Qian Qi watched as a massive black Magic Pattern appeared beneath the feet of these silver wolves, whose crescent in blue eyes glowed faintly. Then countless silver crescent moon blade scars appeared out of thin air, raining down upon the Demon Bear!
The Demon Bear raised its fists before its chest but could not withstand the assault from the dozen B-level silver wolves and was forced back by the Moon Blades, ultimately surrendering Qian Qi involuntarily, lingering nearby, unwilling to leave.
Qian Qi looked at the dozen B-level giant wolves staring down at her, and cold sweat poured over her face like rain.
The skill they just used seemed a lot like the Combined Skills recorded in Norman’s Notes, and she was sure that encountering this skill would only lead to a beating!
Damn it, if she had a few days to grow a bunch of Golden Flowers, she wouldn’t fear these Demon Wolves! This update is available on novel※fire.net
Seeing the giant wolves approaching menacingly, Qian Qi threw caution to the wind, tossing out Qian Ba and loudly shouted, "Moon Silver Demon King! It’s time for you to shine! Unleash your true power!"
She was taking a gamble that these silver giant wolves were the Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves, and Qian Ba was the Moon Silver Demon King!
Qian Ba was unceremoniously tossed from the Beast Taming Space by Qian Qi and was promptly buried under the pile of books. Struggling to climb out, it showed no fear before the giant silver wolves hundreds of times its size, much like a child urged to perform during New Year celebrations. It displayed all four skills it had painstakingly honed in the Secret Realm before the silver wolves!
It even paired them with a soft milky voice: "Ha! Milk Tea with Ice! Ha! Blueberry Shaved Ice! Ha! Crunchy Ice Cream! Ha! The fourth skill doesn’t have a name yet!"
Qian Qi felt utterly embarrassed, kicking him, "Who told you to name the skills on your own!"
What sort of terrible names are these? How could she shout them during a battle without shame!
"Ouch!" Qian Ba was kicked onto the ground with a pout and whined, "You kicked me! I’m telling mom when I get home!"
The onlooking Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves: (゜-゜)...
This is the leader’s son?
In any case, other Magic Beasts also gathered around, and upon seeing Qian Ba in front of the Sky-roaring Wolves, they stopped to watch the show.
They weren’t stupid. Even the mighty Demon Bear was nearby, wretched in heartbreak from being rejected as a Contracted Beast by this Beast Master, indicating that the standards for receiving a Contracted Beast were high. So they decided to stay calm and watch the drama unfold involving the Moon-devouring Wolves family.
Thanks to the White Extreme Rats, all the Magic Beasts of Glacier Valley loved gossip.
That said, it had been quite awhile since a Beast Master ventured into the mountains. The previous Legendary Beast Master residing in Glacier Valley disappeared one day. Rumor had it, according to the new Magic Beasts that suddenly appeared thereafter, that this Legendary Beast Master had been dealing with some strange things, and their side of Glacier Valley encountered something terrifying...
If they hadn’t been suddenly transported here, they might have died at the hands of those things, too.
So many Magic Beasts here hoped to form a Contract with a powerful Beast Master, just in case the dreadful things ever descended upon this Glacier Valley, to avoid dying in vain.
