Chapter 37: Ice‑Armored White Rhino

Wait

Facing Sangqi's request, the Lion King simply wrote a Chinese character in the snow.

In his ice‑blue lion eyes was an unquestionable authority.

Looking at the character on the snow, Sangqi felt puzzled.

Is the Lion King granting or denying?

But he still chose to obediently wait in place.

Chen Mo glanced again at the Ice‑Armored White Rhino in the Sunset Town video, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"A‑rank Supernatural Creature, my first encounter. I don't know if its demon pill and flesh can help me break through the Supernatural tier."

Thinking to himself, Chen Mo moved to Sangqi's side, his claw gripping the other's arm.

Sangqi realized the Lion King was about to type on his phone, so he hurriedly pulled out his phone.

Chen Mo controlled Sangqi's fingers, opened the avatar labeled 'General', and sent a message—

"Interested in making another deal?"

———————————

The deal with the Tansangnira military went smoothly.

Chen Mo stepped in to help the Tansangnira forces kill that Supernatural White Rhino, but Tansangnira had to provide a large amount of supplies and demon pills.

This round, Chen Mo felt he had made a huge profit.

First, high‑level Supernatural spirit beasts are still very rare at this stage; their demon pills and flesh are extremely precious, and might help Chen Mo break through the Lord's barrier.

Even if Chen Mo can't use them himself, they can be used to cultivate Aisha and Shushu.

Second, Tansangnira promised to pay him two medium‑grade Supernatural demon pills and twenty‑five low‑grade ones.

One could say they're draining the Tansangnira treasury.

Third, it also boosted Sangqi's loyalty a bit.

Now Sangqi is of great value to the Lion Clan.

He is the only "nurse" in the Lion Clan; although not indispensable, he is still important.

Moreover, he is willing to risk everything to go back and rescue his parents, showing he is loyal and perhaps useful.

Chen Mo naturally would not let him go, leaving him to die outside.

Three gains in one move.

At the end of the call, Chen Mo and the Tansangnira military agreed on a transaction site.

After arriving at Sunset Town, each side handed over money with one hand and "goods" with the other.

After obtaining the resources from both deals, Chen Mo will immediately release the Leopard Squad.

As for whether the Leopard Squad will stay to fight the Ice‑Armored White Rhino or leave directly, that will be their own choice.

After hanging up, Chen Mo gathered the Lion Clan and the Leopard Squad.

He gave a brief overview of the upcoming battle.

Lead the way

Immediately, Chen Mo walked up to Sangqi and wrote two Chinese characters in the snow with his claw.

Up to that moment, Sangqi hadn't reacted.

The Lion King not only permitted him to go to Sunset Town to find his parents, but also ordered the Lion Clan to go together!? He hadn't even had time to think further when the Lion King let out a deafening roar, and the entire Lion Clan surged forward.

Across the endless snowfield, several off‑road vehicles sped by, and behind them marched an awe‑inspiring Supernatural Lion Clan.

They encountered no danger on the road.

About three hours later, the Lion Clan and the convoy finally were about to reach Sunset Town.

Approximately 1,000 meters outside the town, a detachment of Tanshangnia was already waiting there.

The Supernatural creatures inside the town were too ferocious; they were not opponents, so they dared not get too close to the town.

"Lord Lion King, the items you requested are inside; please inspect them."

The fully armed squad leader placed two wooden crates in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo cautiously let Kalam help open them, and after confirming everything was correct, he nodded and wrote in the snow: 【You may leave】

"Finish this battle first!"

Kalam and the others wanted to join the upcoming fight; as soldiers, they could not stand by while civilians were slaughtered by ferocious beasts.

Chen Mo didn't care about the Leopard Squad's intentions; after completing the deal, he led the Lion Clan onward toward the town.

Continuous heavy snow had fallen for over a month, covering the whole town with a thick blanket of snow.

But now, a layer of bright red blood covered the white snow. Everywhere, collapsed houses littered the streets, which were soaked with blood and corpses.

Both human and animal.

Survivors hid among the ruins, hoping the army would quickly repel and drive away these terrifying monsters.

Massive Supernatural Ice Rhinoceroses rummaged through the wreckage, searching for hidden humans; once they found one, they devoured it in a single bite.

The scene resembled an apocalypse.

Now the town's master is no longer human, but a monster!

Seeing the town's current state, Sangqi couldn't help feeling a bit scared.

But thinking of the Lion Clan behind him, his lingering fear faded a little.

"Your Majesty, I will go find my parents first."

Sangqi reported to Chen Mo.

He understood that the Lion King came to Sunset Town to hunt that A‑rank Supernatural Ice‑Armored White Rhino.

He could not help him find his parents.

Being able to escort him to Sunset Town already moved him deeply.

The Lion King nodded, then lowly growled at the Frost Lion: 'Roar!' (Xióngbà, you watch him, don't let him run away, or die.) 'Roar?'

The Frost Lion looked bewildered, still fantasizing about going on a wild killing spree with the Lion King next! How did it become just monitoring and protecting a human?

'Roar!'

But this is the Lion King's order; it will not refuse, nor dare to refuse.

Moreover, from another angle, why wouldn't the Lion King give this task to other supernatural ice lions?

This is the Lion King's great attention and trust in me!

Chen Mo's gaze then turned to the plaza in the center of the town, six li outside.

A white rhinoceros over eight meters long and up to four meters high lay on its side on the ground, its head bearing two flat ice plates, one long and one short, looking extremely sharp.

Its skin was covered with a layer of ice-blue substance resembling armor, as if from an ancient giant beast.

This is the king of the ice-armored rhinoceros herd.

【Ice Armor White Rhino (female)】

【Grade: High-tier Supernatural】

【Constitution: 80】

【Agility: 15】

【Strength: 45】

【Soul: 18】

【Abilities: Ice Thorn Armor, Frost Breath, Ice Step】

【Overall Combat Power: 350~421】

As he observed, in Chen Mo's view, information about the Ice Armor White Rhino appeared beside it.

Upon seeing the Ice Armor White Rhino's constitution reach 80 points, Chen Mo also froze for a moment.

Good grief, this Ice Armor White Rhino seems to have poured all its evolution points into defense! But that's a good thing.

For Chen Mo, bullying such a big idiot who only adds defense is the most fun.

———————————

Watching the Frost Lion Xióngbà follow behind him.

Sang Qi felt an overwhelming sense of relief and emotion.

His Majesty the Lion King actually valued me so much! He lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car sped into town, heading toward where his parents lived.

After awakening, his physical fitness and perception greatly improved, allowing him to roughly sense the aura of supernatural beings and thus avoid danger.

Moreover, with the extraordinary aura of the Frost Lion beside him, ordinary supernatural beings really dare not approach easily.

Five minutes later, Sang Qi smoothly arrived at his own doorstep.

Looking at his home now reduced to ruins before him, Sang Qi stood stunned in place, for a moment feeling unable to catch his breath.

"Sang Qi, get down quickly."

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear……
