Chapter 49: Taming the Snow Treading Fox (Please Follow for Updates)

"Howl?" (If you don't try, how do you know if it's tasty?)

Chen Mo was preparing to scare the little fox a bit, then extract some information.

But the next second, he suddenly raised his head, gazing at the snow mountain above.

From the snow mountain came rising and falling fox cries.

The commotion from the recent battle still attracted the nearby Snow Treading Foxes, which howled to relay information to each other while swiftly rushing toward Chen Mo's current position.

Snow Treading Foxes are creatures that highly value kinship bloodlines; they will not abandon the life of any member.

Therefore, to rescue the little fox and simultaneously repel the external enemy, they even gave up searching for the territorial spirit.

Chen Mo observed the information of each Snow Treading Fox.

After looking at all the Snow Treading Foxes' information, Chen Mo smiled.

None had a combined combat power reaching 800.

Not a single one could fight!

Perhaps out of fear that Chen Mo might harm the little fox, or perhaps because they worried that Chen Mo's side had many lions and great strength, the first few Snow Treading Foxes to arrive did not rashly attack, but instead waited silently in the snow over 200 meters away from the lion group.

Chen Mo naturally was also pleased with that.

Soon, the lion group was surrounded by the Snow Treading Fox group.

This group of Snow Treading Foxes numbered about 200+, most of them being medium- and low-level Supernatural in strength.

There were five high-level Supernatural ones.

The Snow Treading Fox with the highest combined combat power, ranging from 732 to 780, should be the leader of the Snow Treading Foxes.

It slowly walked up to the lion group, then flicked its tail, sending a strand of heart-piercing ice silkworm silk flying to Chen Mo's side.

It seemed to want to communicate and negotiate with Chen Mo.

Seeing that all the Snow Treading Foxes had gathered, the next second Chen Mo gave a glance to Xiong Ba and Aisha beside him.

Attack!

Immediately after, Chen Mo charged straight at the Snow Treading Fox leader! Aisha and the other lions also launched an attack on the surrounding Snow Treading Foxes.

All negotiations are based on strength.

Properly displaying one's strength is more powerful than any words! The battle is about to erupt! At the moment Chen Mo erupted, a glint of blue light flashed in the Snow Treading Fox leader's pupils.

The next second, Chen Mo saw the Snow Treading Fox leader before him suddenly disappear.

Even the surrounding lion group and fox group vanished together, leaving it seeming that only Chen Mo and a lion remained in the vast snowy mountain.

【Ice Phantom Technique】

Chen Mo was not unfamiliar with the abilities displayed by the Snow Treading Fox.

Having observed earlier, he had already grasped all its abilities; moreover, Chen Mo himself knows Ice Phantom Technique.

Chen Mo did not panic; he simply gathered strength, adjusted his breathing, then let out a roar.

Roar! A deafening lion's roar suddenly rang out.

Ice Wind Roar!

The snow on the ground flew up in all directions, the snowfield trembled, as if countless explosives had been detonated in an instant.

In the next instant, the Snow Treading Fox leader, the lion group, and the fox group reappeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

The Snow Treading Fox leader's ice-blue pupils flashed with blue light; the powerful sound wave carried a mental shock, causing it to emit a painful howl, making it unable to maintain the Ice Phantom Technique any longer.

Chen Mo's soul power is stronger than that of the Snow Treading Foxes adept at illusion! Ice Wind Roar is also a mental attack, directly shattering the Snow Treading Fox's Ice Phantom Technique! At this moment, the other four high-level Supernatural Snow Treading Foxes condensed hundreds to thousands of ice blades, forming an ice blade storm that slashed toward the Ice Lion.

However, seeing the sky-covering ice blade storm, the Ice Lion did not dodge or evade, continuing to charge toward the Snow Treading Fox leader.

Clang clang clang! The ice blades, upon striking the Ice Lion, instantly shattered into ice crystals; these sharp ice blades didn't even scratch the Ice Lion's skin! 【Fat Otaku Happy Lion】 made Chen Mo's skin incredibly tough, granting extraordinary defensive power—ordinary high-level Supernatural beings' attacks could not harm him in the slightest! By then, Chen Mo had already rushed to the Snow Treading Fox leader's front, pressing it down with his forepaws.

The Snow Treading Fox leader struggled desperately, but its strength compared to the Ice Lion was vastly inferior.

Once a "Mage" gets caught in close combat, there's only a dead end.

The other four high-level Supernatural Snow Treading Foxes, seeing this, recklessly charged at Chen Mo. Chen Mo released an ice storm around himself; the howling gale directly blew them all away.

He deliberately controlled the ice storm's intensity, so as not to directly kill these few fragile Snow Treading Foxes.

Chen Mo still wanted to tame this group of Snow Treading Foxes in his heart.

From the information gathered earlier, he knew that Snow Treading Foxes value kinship ties extremely; if he killed a few of them, the remaining Snow Treading Foxes would very likely trigger the 【Would Rather Die Than Submit】 buff.

On the other side, Aisha had already charged into the fox group, continuously letting out roars.

Amidst thunderous lion roars, snowflakes flew everywhere.

One after another, Snow Treading Foxes rolled on the ground from pain.

Like mowing grass, wherever Aisha went, Snow Treading Foxes collapsed in large patches.

Under the 【Roaring Lion】 buff, each of its roars possessed immensely terrifying power.

The Supernatural Ice Lions followed behind the gap opened by Aisha, pursuing those Snow Treading Foxes still capable of fighting.

The Snow Treading Foxes' strongest ability is creating illusions; their melee capability is very weak.

After the Ice Phantom Technique was dismantled by roar after roar, they were no match for the lion group! In less than three minutes, the standing Snow Treading Foxes were almost none.

Even so, none of the remaining Snow Treading Foxes fled; instead, they continued to launch fearless attacks against the lion group.

Seeing a large swath of the Snow Treading Fox group fallen, Chen Mo felt it was about right, so he let out a lion's roar, causing the lion group to cease fighting.

Immediately afterward, he slowly walked up beside the Snow Treading Fox leader, connected the other end of the heart-piercing ice silkworm, and calmly said to the leader—

"Howl!" (Submit or die, choose for yourselves.) For this set of operations, he had become very proficient.

Previously, when taming other Supernatural beings on the plains, it was often just a shake of the lion's body, displaying a burst of his power, and the other side would basically submit.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Treading Fox leader's eyes showed reluctance and anger.

This Ice Lion before him was too overbearing, too arrogant.

But at the same time, it was also too strong!

It had already become a supernatural creature that had come into contact with the lord's fortifications; logically, it is the strongest existence so far.

However, in the Ice Lion's hands it was no match.

How could such a terrifying supernatural creature appear just after the outside world's spiritual energy had only just revived!? "Roar!" (Great Lion King, we are willing to submit; please spare our clanspeople.) Finally, the Snow Treading Fox leader lowered its head slightly, and for the survival and continuation of the entire clan, it ultimately chose to submit.

Chen Mo only then realized that the little fox from before was still being pressed down by Shi Ma.

Shi Ma thought, anyway her two kids were killing wildly; adding one more wouldn't matter, subtracting one wouldn't matter either, so she took charge of guarding the 'fox essence' in place.

After Shi Ma loosened her claws, the little fox quickly ran to the side of the Snow Treading Fox leader, licking its wound, its face full of grief and self-reproach.

"Roar~roar~roar~"

"Roar!" (Were you previously looking for the Regional Spirit?) Chen Mo asked.

"Roar!"

The Snow Treading Fox leader nodded.

"What does the Regional Spirit actually look like?"

Chen Mo asked again.

The behavior of these Snow Treading Foxes could correspond to what Wang Long said; it seems the Regional Spirit is indeed a crucial thing.

"Roar!" (Its true form is a crystal fragment, but it can transform into any non-living or living thing on the snow mountain; only by touching it will its original form be revealed.) The Snow Treading Fox leader answered.

Chen Mo nodded, then let out a low growl: "Roar!" (Now this snow mountain has been taken over by the Ice Lion clan; you will temporarily stay in the front cave. Without permission, you may not come out.) Regarding the just-subdued Snow Treading Fox clan, he naturally would not easily trust them, nor could he let them participate in the search.

"Roar!" (Xiongba, Aisha, you stay here to guard them.) After giving the order, Chen Mo let out another low growl toward the lion pride, letting the lions disperse and search for the Regional Spirit from different directions on this snow mountain.

As for him, he brought the little white mouse along to search.
