Chapter 1121: The Snow King
"Tiandao Hu, must you compete for the Frozen Heart with me?" Yafei Bing said coldly with a sneer.
She was extremely irritated. She had almost gotten the Frozen Heart if it had not been for Tiandao Hu’s sudden ambush.
Tiandao Hu laughed coldly, ignoring Yafei Bing. He quickly rushed towards the Frozen Heart.
Seeing Tiandao Hu rush towards the Frozen Heart, Yafei Bing immediately reacted and stopped him.
They fought relentlessly, neither willing to give in. The battle seemed to have gone on for hours.
Qingfeng Li stood nearby, unwilling to walk forward.
Although he wanted the Frozen Heart, he remained patient. He knew that once he attacked, both Yafei Bing and Tiandao Hu would come after him.
Although he was invincible below the Spirit King Realm, dealing with two masters of the Spirit King Realm would still be incredibly difficult.
He had his own plan. He was waiting for Yafei Bing and Tiandao Hu to wear each other out, and then he would sneak in and reap the award.
It was a good plan but plans often change.
Suddenly, a white claw came from beneath the snow mountain. It instantly grabbed the Frozen Heart and ran far away with it.
The white claw was a human hand. Actually, it was more of a snowman’s hand.
Snowmen were unique to the snow mountains. Made completely of ice and snow, they didn’t have a single drop of blood in their bodies. Their bodies were also without organs and bones, icy all throughout. At the center of their chest was an ice crystal that functioned like a human heart, providing the Snowmen with a steady stream of ice energy.
They were indigenous to the snow mountain, and there weren’t any outside the area.
The Snowman who took the Frozen Heart was no ordinary snowman. It was the Snow King, the king amongst all Snowmen, a master of the Spirit King Realm.
Normal Snowmen were less intelligent, but the Snow King possessed its own wisdom for use.
The Snow King who took the Frozen Heart had evidently activated its own intelligence. It hid within the snow at the mountaintop, camouflaged by the whiteness of its surroundings, holding its breath so that no one would notice it.
It was incredibly fast, rushing out a few hundred meters instantly. It was only then, that both Yafei Bing and Tiandao Hu reacted to the situation.
The two halted their battle and quickly went after the Snow King.
The Snow King was too fast for the two people. After ten minutes, they had lost the Snow King.
Yafei Bing and Tiandao Hu were both livid, their eyes full of anger. They continued to search for the Snow King towards the far distance.
There were nine snow mountains, all completely snow-capped and were completely white. Not far from here was a primitive forest, filled with terrifying demonic beasts. No one knew where the Snow King ran off to.
Qingfeng Li stood atop the fifth snow mountain, his face gloomy.
The Frozen Heart was vital to saving Xue Lin, so Qingfeng Li had to get it.
"Little pup, can you use your nose to sniff out the Frozen Heart?" Qingfeng Li asked Black Puppy with furrowed brows.
The black puppy sniffed around, walking back and forth on the snow mountain.
After a short while, Black Puppy said, "I found the Snow King. It went towards the primitive forest towards the north."
Hearing Black Puppy, Qingfeng Li nodded and said, "We’re heading there immediately."
Along with his companions, Qingfeng Li headed towards the primitive forest.
They traveled very quickly, arriving before the primitive forest after only a short while.
The primitive forest was ancient. It had existed for thousands of years and every tree was a few hundred meters tall, reaching straight for the skies.
These trees had grown to be incredibly luscious under the below-50 freezing temperatures. Clearly, these were no ordinary trees, these were spiritual trees.
Qingfeng Li stood there, furrowing his brows. He felt a terrible sense of danger coming from the primitive forest. This sense of danger was extremely powerful, no less than what he had felt from Yafei Bing.
The black puppy was the first to rush in but was quickly bounced back. In front of it, appeared a white defensive light veil.
"This is a forest array, it’s meant to stop outsiders from entering," Qingfeng Li took one look at the defensive light veil and explained.
The black puppy nodded. It had also recognized the array but was powerless against it. The black puppy was very powerful during the times of ancient continents but it wasn’t well-versed in the study of battle arrays.
The most important thing about a battle array was its eye, or, its center. The only way to break a battle array was to capture its eye.
"Senior, where is the center of this forest array?" Qingfeng Li transmitted his voice to the Dark Night Emperor. He was the only person who was familiar with battle arrays.
The Dark Night Emperor was in deep slumber. But hearing Qingfeng Li’s voice, he immediately woke up and said, "The forest array is a king level battle array, extremely powerful. The center is located within a falling snowflake. The snowflake is currently on top of the ancient tree in the middle."
Snowflake? Ancient tree?
Hearing this, Qingfeng Li’s eyes lit up. He looked towards the front and saw a giant tree. On top of the giant tree, there was a heart-shaped giant snowflake that was entirely made of ice and snow.
"One finger splits all." Qingfeng Li let out a deep roar, focusing vital essence into his right-hand fingers, instantly shooting out a ray of green light.
With unrivaled force and speed, the ray of green light immediately cut through everything, instantly striking the ice atop the tree, splitting it in two.
Bang!
The ice atop the tree shattered into a million pieces. The forest array was broken and the defensive light veil disappeared.
Danger!
Although the forest array was lifted, Qingfeng Li still felt a sense of danger coming from the coldness. It was a great sense of danger, making him shiver to his core.
He turned towards the Wolf Fang Team and said, "The primitive forest is incredibly dangerous. I’ll head in with Black Puppy, Sky Devouring Snake, and the Fire Wolf Demon King. The rest of you stay here."
The members of the Wolf Fang Team nodded at his words. They knew that they were too weak and that by following him, they would only slow him down.
Qingfeng Li immediately headed into the primitive forest along with Black Puppy, Sky Devouring Snake, and the Fire Wolf King.
The primitive forest was different from all the other forests. Its plants and rocks were completely white.
Of course, these objects weren’t actually white, they were just completely snow-capped. Some of the accumulated snow even entered the insides of the plants.
As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a demonic beast. It was an ice rabbit, a demonic beast of the half-step Spirit King Realm.
Normal rabbits ate grass and ocean rabbits ate seaweed, and this one fed on ice and snow.
