"I already turned it on..."
Dali shot him a glance, his teeth chattering uncontrollably; he clearly couldn't take it any longer.
"The medical gown can't even hold up?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. This was Xiao Xing's most proud creation, yet its effect was unsatisfactory for the first time.
"Then let's add more!"
Space Rabbit instantly threw out more medical gowns.
Dali quickly put them on and turned them up to their maximum warming power. Only then did he gradually calm down.
He lay inside Xiao Huang's mouth, looking out at the icy, snowy landscape, and said:
"This weather is really trying to kill people!"
"You need to train more, Dali."
Chen Shu patted his chest, appearing incredibly strong.
"..."
Dali shot him a glance and said, "What bullshit training are you talking about? Aren't you just relying on feedback from your beast tamers?"
"That's still my hard-earned cultivation!"
"You're truly shameless!"
As the two chatted idly, Chen Shu's pocket moved slightly. A weak little spirit emerged.
"Little Chen, are you trying to freeze this king to death!"
The little spirit shivered slightly, its face gradually turning pale.
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he said, "You, a Golden Contract Spirit, can't even handle it?"
"Do you think this king's great power comes without a price?"
The little spirit gave him a side-eye and said, "I have no strength left now... quickly get me some fire."
At the same time, it glanced at Space Rabbit, telling it to produce some firewood.
The rabbit blinked slightly, thought for a moment, and decisively produced dozens of bottles of explosive potions...
"..."
The little spirit's expression froze, a hint of panic in its eyes. It said, "Fat rabbit, what the hell are you doing?!"
"Wuwu~~"
Space Rabbit shrugged, indicating it had no firewood.
"Come here."
Dali spread open his medical gown, allowing the little spirit to come to him for warmth.
Seeing this, the little spirit flapped its wings and hid in the medical gown's pocket, humming:
"This is quite comfortable."
"Little Chen, when are you going to get me one of these clothes? It's quite fashionable, I like it!"
"I'll have someone customize one for you when we get back."
Chen Shu walked over to the little spirit and asked, "When will your strength recover?"
Although the little spirit lacked combat power, it was an existence that could not be ignored, capable of greatly boosting the abilities of the other three contract spirits.
"It depends. You need to get me more nutritious things."
The little spirit rested its head on the pocket and then said spiritedly, "Wasn't my performance that day pretty good?"
Chen Shu said indifferently, "Barely passable."
In reality, if the little spirit hadn't suddenly burst forth, he wouldn't have known how to deal with Night Ghost's divine skill.
After all, even if he could defeat the opponent, Xiao Huang would be heavily injured or even die. He wouldn't dare take that risk.
Then, Chen Shu seemed to remember something and interrogated,
"Are you hiding your strength all this time?"
"Would this king hide it?"
The little spirit pouted and said, "It's just that potion that stimulated a bit of my past strength."
"I say, Little Chen, can you try harder? It's been so long, and I'm still at this level. Are you capable?"
"..."
Chen Shu's forehead was covered in black lines. He said, "If I'm not capable, then no one on Blue Star is capable..."
...
"Guji..."
A day later,
Xiao Huang continued to advance through the blizzard. The harsh temperature had no effect on it.
After all, with [Ice Domain], even King-level skills couldn't harm it, let alone the weather.
"According to King Ye, there are two giant ice pillars next to the snow mountain. When will I find it?"
Chen Shu extended a telescope from Xiao Huang's mouth, constantly observing the surroundings.
"Could that old fellow be lying to me?"
An idea formed in his mind, but he decided to check it out first, as there was no loss.
Although [Extreme Cold Ice Valley] was a valley, its area was immeasurable. For an ordinary Golden Beast Tamer, it would take more than ten days to traverse it back and forth.
Three days later,
Chen Shu was still searching.
At this moment, at the entrance of [Extreme Cold Ice Valley], a beast tamer appeared!
"This damn weather really makes me not want to come."
A man wearing a down jacket patted the snow off his body and summoned his four contract spirits.
"According to Brother Fu, that old King-level ghost is already dead. His inheritance should be inside."
The man sighed and said,
"But this place is so vast, when will I find it..."
He shook his head, lay down on the back of a contract spirit, and headed into the depths of the异空间 (alternate dimension/space).
...
"Old fellow, you better not have lied to me!"
Chen Shu was still searching diligently, cursing, "If you really lied to me, your ancestors' graves won't be safe!"
"..."
Dali shot him a glance and muttered to himself, "It's still me, an outstanding student from the Culinary School, who has manners..."
However, the next second, his eyes widened, and he roared:
"Damn it! Get out of my way!"
He stretched out his right hand and pulled the little spirit out of the pot.
"When you're eating, you're eating. Can you stop gnawing on the pot?"
"I'm hungry..."
The little spirit spread its hands, a hint of weakness still in its eyes.
Due to the prolonged cooking, a lot of nutritional components had adhered to Dali's iron pot...
"..."
Dali rubbed his temples, about to ask Chen Pi to manage his contract spirit,
But unexpectedly, Chen Shu's body trembled, and he exclaimed:
"Damn it, I finally found it!"
Hundreds of meters to the right of Xiao Huang, a majestic snow mountain stood tall, and on either side of it, two giant ice pillars towered, seemingly connecting to the heavens.
"It's indeed the place that old ghost mentioned..."
Chen Shu licked his lips and muttered, "Your ancestors' graves are safe."
At the same time, Xiao Huang changed direction and accelerated, heading straight for the snow mountain.
The snow mountain was not too high, about two thousand meters, similar to the snow mountain at the entrance.
In no time, Chen Shu arrived at the summit.
"The third, the fifth, the eighth cave..."
Chen Shu recalled King Ye's words, while also becoming vigilant.
Although King Ye seemed to have revealed the location out of helplessness, who knew if he had any ulterior motives.
Xiao Huang grew to over thirty meters in size and flew in mid-air.
The progress was even smoother than Chen Shu had imagined. In just half a day, he successfully found the first cave mentioned by King Ye.
Because of the cave entrance's restrictions, Xiao Huang couldn't enter. He also worried that the cave might collapse, scattering the materials and making them inconvenient to collect.
Chen Shu's eyes darted, and he said, "Erha, let your clone take the lead!"
"Aow Aow!"
A clone of Erha scrambled and jumped, boldly charging into the cave.
To Chen Shu's surprise, there was no danger inside, only a mountain of beast-taming materials...
