Chapter 48: Snow Treading Fox

Before the Great Snow Mountain descended, there were already over a hundred drones on standby near the Great Snow Mountain.

After the Secret Realm descended, these drones patrolled the junction between the snow mountain and the grassland, observing the movements around the snow mountain.

At this moment, on the drone's screen.

At the foot of the snow mountain, which had just been named Area 3 by the military, beings resembling frost giants were running wildly from the snow mountain toward the grassland.

These frost giants are over four meters tall, their bodies encased in ice crystals, with only a single eye on their faces, appearing ugly and ferocious.

"Don't rush to open fire. Wang Fan, have the Red Feather Swallow pull all these one-eyed giants into this area."

Wang Long pointed at the map and gave the order to the young warrior beside him.

"Yes!"

The young warrior replied affirmatively, then opened a certain app on his phone, entered text, and the phone emitted a series of chirping sounds.

This app can roughly translate Chinese into bird language, and it is also an important research achievement of Dongxia during this period.

"Chirp!"

Accompanied by a bright birdcall, the Red Feather Swallow shot up from the young warrior's shoulder like a blazing fireball, flying toward the frost one-eyed giants.

The Red Feather Swallow is a superhuman variant of the swift, possessing an exaggerated speed.

In the blink of an eye, the Red Feather Swallow reached the tops of the frost one-eyed giants, then spat a mouthful of flaming saliva at each one.

Instantly, all the frost one-eyed giants became enraged.

Their single eyes continuously fired freezing rays, but the Red Feather Swallow's speed was too great for the freezing rays to hit.

After drawing a wave of ridicule, the Red Feather Swallow, relying on its proud speed, lured these frost one-eyed giants bit by bit to the designated "bombing zone," then burst forth with astonishing speed and departed gracefully.

After observing the Red Feather Swallow's departure through a telescope, the artillery commander issued the order:

"Fire!"

With the fire command, over ten rocket launchers fired simultaneously, producing a deafening roar.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Dozens of shells exploded where the frost one-eyed giants had gathered.

Under the baptism of artillery fire, some of the smaller frost one-eyed giants were directly blown to pieces.

After several rounds, all low-tier superhuman frost giants were killed, and the medium-tier superhuman frost one-eyed giants also suffered heavy casualties.

Only the high-tier superhuman frost giants had a layer of ice armor appear on their bodies, blocking the artillery bombardment.

The frost giants roared in anger, yet had no idea where the enemy came from!

The rocket shells from dozens of kilometers away were an existence they could not comprehend at all.

Seeing this, the Tanzanian soldiers could not help but feel their blood boil.

The frustration accumulated from previous battles against superhuman beings was released at this moment.

"General, we'll leave this to you—hold back these frost giants, we're also setting out!"

Wang Long said to the general.

Having said that, he led the Dongxia Awakened Team and the Cheetah Squad into off-road vehicles, speeding toward the snow mountain where the frost one-eyed giants dwelled.

This was also the second part of the entire plan.

By luring out and then restraining the "aborigines" of one of the snow mountains, they could then proceed to that snow mountain to search for its land spirit.

As long as they found the land spirit and successfully refined it, they would have a foothold!

Chen Mo led the lion pride to the snow mountain nearest the Ice Lion Territory.

The wind and snow on the mountain were too fierce; even Aisha's Ice Eyes could not see inside the mountain from outside.

Since everything was unknown, following the principle of proximity, Chen Mo prepared to first tackle this great snow mountain before him.

After entering the snow mountain, Chen Mo focused his mind intensely, constantly on guard against enemies that might appear around him.

Although Wang Long said that the natives of the Secret Realm did not exceed high-tier superhuman beings, theoretically he was the strongest existence.

But he still did not let his guard down, maintaining a high level of vigilance.

In this world, nothing is absolute.

Aisha's pupils emitted a blue glow as she observed everything on the snow mountain.

The blizzard imposed some limits on her Ice Eyes, but she could still see creatures up to 500 meters away.

The Ice Crystal Mouse on Chen Mo's back also activated its superhuman perception ability. Chen Mo had already told them about the land spirit.

The lion pride's primary goal was also to find the hidden land spirit! Five minutes later, the lion pride had already reached the midsection of the snow mountain.

Chen Mo stopped his steps and discovered a little fox beside a rock several hundred meters away.

Its fur was pure snow-white, with the ears and tail tip frost-blue, surrounded by ice crystals; at that moment, the little fox was looking around in the snow, appearing somewhat cute and silly.

【Snow Treading Fox (female)】

【Level: Medium-tier Superhuman】

【Physique: 15】

【Agility: 35】

【Strength: 12】

【Soul: 36】

【Abilities: Ice Phantom Technique, Ice Spike, Ice Tail】

【Overall Combat Power: 260~310】

Through observation, Chen Mo quickly obtained its relevant information.

"Are they the natives?"

After thinking, Chen Mo decided to first capture it to have a look.

Thus he sprinted forward, rushing quickly toward the little fox.

"Ying!"

The blizzard did an excellent job of concealing his tracks, until they were less than 100 meters apart, when the snow treading fox spotted the ice lion's figure in the storm and began desperately fleeing up the mountain.

But it was too late.

The snow treading fox was very fast.

But Chen Mo was faster!

In just two breaths, Chen Mo's figure appeared before the little fox.

Then the ice lion pressed the little fox to the ground with its forepaw.

Afraid that using too much force would kill the little fox outright, Chen Mo carefully controlled his strength.

With its current strength, even a slight exertion would likely crush the little fox into a lump.

"Ying~"

The snow treading fox beneath his feet let out a cry, then flicked its fluffy tail, shooting two white silk threads that rushed at Chen Mo at high speed.

A soundless ice storm rose, instantly shredding the silk threads.

"Ying ying ying~"

Seeing this, the little fox beneath his feet let out a pitiful, aggrieved wail.

Chen Mo glanced at those white, nearly transparent silk threads.

He never expected it to display relevant information; this was actually an extraordinary item.

【Spiritual Ice Silkworm Silk】

【The life linked to the silk can communicate telepathically】

"So it turns out this little fox wasn't trying to attack me, but wanted to communicate with me?"

Chen Mo froze for a moment.

Interesting.

These natives actually have such a treasure.

Chen Mo was worrying about having little information on the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm, when the 'natives' of the Great Snow Mountain sent over a little fox.

After understanding all this, Chen Mo seized the little fox, fiddled with the little critter's tail a few times, extracted two strands of Spiritual Ice Silkworm Silk from within, and wound them around himself and the fox.

Instantly, he could understand the snow treading fox's calls.

"Ying ying ying~" (Lion, can, can you not eat the little fox? Fox meat isn't tasty!) The little fox looked at Chen Mo with a pleading expression.
