Chapter 87: Ice Sparrow

When he was halfway up the mountain, Chen Mo also saw more than ten frost wolves!

After the frost wolf leader died, the remaining frost wolves all fled.

Chen Mo assumed they probably ran out into the outside world, but they were actually hiding here.

Seeing the Ice Lion King and its massive army beside it, the frost wolves bolted away.

Yet while they were escaping, Xiongba Grand General had already charged forward.

Xiongba Grand General declared that he would never miss any chance to advance!

Now Xiongba has already touched the Lord Barrier, and with the Gluttonous Lion's boost, today's strength far exceeds that of those frost wolves.

Soon, he led a few transcendent ice lions to "arrest" all the frost wolves.

"Roar!" (Take it back first!)

Chen Mo let out a low growl.

These frost wolves would actually make decent labor, they'd be pretty good as miners.

In no time, Chen Mo reached the mountain summit.

In his view stood a towering ice phoenix tree dozens of meters high, its leaves like crystal ice, looking extremely splendid.

This was clearly also a transcendent plant.

At the top of the ice phoenix tree perched a bird over a meter long, its feathers like ice sculpture, with three long tail feathers behind it.

At first glance, it indeed resembled the ice phoenix he had imagined.

At this moment the ice sparrow seemed still asleep?

Seeing this, Chen Mo could not help but feel speechless.

Other lords have already beaten you to your doorstep, and you're still sleeping?

How can you still be sleeping!? Is this a special relaxation of the ice sparrow?

As Chen Mo stared, the ice sparrow's data floated before his eyes—

【Ice Sparrow (Female)】

【Rank: High‑grade Transcendent】

【Constitution: 50】

【Agility: 89】

【Strength: 36】

【Divine Soul: 150】

【Abilities: Frost Feather, Ice Storm, Instant Freeze, Hibernation】

【Overall Combat Power: 980~1350】

【Divine Ice Phoenix Descendant, possesses an extremely weak divine bloodline, not yet awakened.】

Seeing "Divine Ice Phoenix Descendant" made Chen Mo pause.

No way? You really are an ice phoenix descendant!

But this divine bloodline is probably already extremely thin; besides a very high divine soul and great speed, the ice sparrow's other stats differ little from a leader‑grade transcendent creature.

One should know that true divine descendants are at least at the King's Realm!

"Roar!"

The ice sparrow looked unawakenable, so Chen Mo prepared a physical wake‑up.

He let out a lion's roar and, to prevent the ice sparrow from fleeing, released his Lord Pressure without reservation.

The powerful force field and sound waves made the phoenix tree shake violently, causing the sleeping ice sparrow to be jolted off.

In mid‑air, the ice sparrow finally woke up dazed, its ice‑blue eyes filled with boundless anger.

How dare a beast disturb its sleep! Doesn't it know its morning temper is fierce?

"Cheep!?" (Let me see which blind one dares to disturb Lord Ice Sparrow's sleep?) "Cheep!" (▼へ▼メ)

The ice sparrow emitted a hum, its expression clearly enraged to the extreme! As a result, in its anger, it got angry.

Thump! Under Chen Mo's Lord Pressure, it flapped its wings a few times but didn't take off, falling straight off the tree and landing squarely in the snow.

Head down, it fell over headfirst.

After releasing its Lord Pressure, the ice sparrow finally rose again and also saw the beast that dared disturb its sleep.

It was a Lord‑realm ice lion! Feeling the mountain‑overturning pressure, a hint of solemnity appeared in the ice sparrow's eyes. "I only slept a little while ago, how did a transcendent creature become a lord so quickly? Anyway I have Lord Permission, goodbye to you!" the ice sparrow thought to itself.

The ice sparrow thought to itself.

It lacked a guaranteed victory, so it didn't want to fight the ice lion.

Thus it directly activated its Lord Permission, trying to kick Chen Mo out of its territory!

However, the next second, a gigantic ice lion was already in front of it, its mouth corners slightly upturned, blue eyes fixed on it, as if mocking.

"Cheep!!?" (How could that be!?)

Now the ice sparrow truly panicked.

Chen Mo unleashed his Lord Pressure to the maximum, limiting the ice sparrow's flight altitude.

At the same time he stepped toward the ice sparrow.

"So sleepy, why do I want to sleep again right after waking!?"

Watching the approaching ice lion, the ice sparrow tried to gather the spirit energy within its ice core to launch an attack, but suddenly felt a strong drowsiness surge in its heart.

As Chen Mo acted, Aisha beside him released Soul Snow at the ice sparrow's location.

Thump! The ice sparrow fell to the ground again, and seeing the ice lion king drawing nearer, its heart couldn't help but panic.

"Cheep!" (You can't kill me! I'm a descendant of the ice phoenix!)

"Roar!" (Hand over the regional spirit.) Chen Mo said to the ice sparrow; now he stood five meters tall, ten meters long, every move carrying a mountain‑overturning, crushing momentum.

The ice sparrow's eyes were somewhat conflicted, but in the end it listlessly shook its feathers, shaking out a piece of ice‑blue crystal fragment.

"Chirp! (Here you go!)"

Chen Mo was not polite, directly pouring his own spiritual power into the land spirit.

Now the spiritual power in his ice core is already very abundant, and he refines it all in one breath.

Watching the ice lion gradually refine the land spirit of its own territory, the ice sparrow's face showed a look of grievance and heartache.

Soon, the blue light pillar on the snow mountain slowly faded away.

Another fragment appeared in the core of the divine realm.

"This place is now the territory of the Ice Lion Kingdom. If you want to stay here, you need to pay rent."

After the refinement ended, Chen Mo spoke calmly.

He wanted to tame this ice sparrow before him.

Not only because it possesses a weak ice phoenix bloodline, but more importantly because the ice lion clan's aerial strength is currently weak.

Currently, the Ice Lion Kingdom's flying forces consist only of the snow crane clan, whose combat strength is not strong; they can only be used for reconnaissance or to throw "flashbang" bombs.

Apart from the little black panther Luna, whose combat ability is decent, there is no beast in the "air force" capable of standing alone.

Hearing this, the ice sparrow was almost dying of anger.

They took its territory, and now they even demand it pay money!

It went from landlord to tenant in an instant! The ice lion king before it is truly hateful! "Chirp!"

After thinking, it painfully plucked one of its own feathers, intending to use it as rent.

This is all it has left.

Because it's too lazy, it naturally wouldn't go collect anything.

Seeing this, even Chen Mo felt the ice sparrow was a bit too pitiful.

Then, after accepting the feather, he calmly said: "This can count as one week's rent. I'll come back in a week. I'll point you to a path; mining might be a good option."

Watching the lion king and his pride depart, the ice sparrow let out a breath, its eyes holding a faint sorrow.

The little bird is truly miserable! After losing the land spirit, its transcendent grade also reverted to high transcendent.

Moreover, it now has to worry about "rent"! But before it could even start worrying, a wave of sleepiness suddenly surged.

"It must be from being too tired after that fight!"

"Forget it, let's sleep first and talk later."
