Chapter 199: Destination: Cemetery

"Friendly reminder!"

"The Dawn Dragon Roar Spear can not only devour ores, but also devour spiritual artifacts."

"The system's sudden alert made Gu Han raise his eyebrows."

"Isn't this function just a recycling bin?"

"In Gu Han's storage space, even if there aren't a hundred useless spiritual artifacts, there are eighty."

"It's just right to hand them all over to the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear for recycling."

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been so ruthless, smashing all their weapons and armor."

"Gu Han secretly curled his lips, but if given another chance to redo, he would inevitably make the same choice as before."

"Holding back in battle is tantamount to not caring about one's own life!"

"But besides the captured damaged spiritual artifacts in Gu Han's hand,"

"There are also many spiritual artifacts obtained from treasure chests!"

"After handing them all over to the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear to devour."

"Only Gu Han could see the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, which instantly blazed with golden light!"

"The grade of the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear rose from middle-tier Heavenly to upper-tier Heavenly!"

"At the same time, Xiao Qing and the others had already cleaned up the Invisible Wolf's corpse and came to Gu Han's side."

"\"Little Brother Gu, it's already late; why don't we first return to Han Valley Town and re-enter the Thousand Year Cold Valley tomorrow? \""

"In the Thousand Year Cold Valley, the wind and snow never cease day and night, hardly ever stopping."

"Even if Xiao Qing and the others had charcoal to resist the wind and snow, they wouldn't dare rest in such an environment."

"Gu Han naturally understood this as well."

"He was about to nod when his gaze suddenly shifted, looking ahead at the Phantom Night Snow Fox King leading the team forward."

"\"Snow Fox King, where do you usually rest? \""

"The Phantom Night Snow Fox clan can adapt to the frigid environment."

"But Gu Han guessed they probably wouldn't rest while braving the wind and snow all over the sky, right?"

"Whine"

"Little Wolf dutifully took on the role of translator once again."

"Howled"

"Gu Han's eyes lit up at once, exactly as he had thought."

"\"Uncle Xiao, we'll rest together with the Phantom Night Snow Fox tonight. \""

"Xiao Qing was stunned, never expecting Gu Han to have such a move!"

"They have wandered through many dangerous places for years; saying they've survived nine deaths to live till today is no exaggeration."

"What they've experienced is far more than Gu Han could ever know."

"But they never imagined they could peacefully coexist with demonic beasts and sleep together!"

"If not for today's experience of fighting side by side with the Phantom Night Snow Fox against the Invisible Wolf,"

"Anyone telling them they could rest together with demonic beasts,"

"would definitely be scolded by them and snorted at in contempt!"

"But today, they are about to experience the precious experience of resting in the Thousand Year Cold Valley!"

"The group followed the Phantom Night Snow Fox for a long time, finally seeing a palace built from piled-up ice!"

"The palace covers a huge area, likely able to accommodate hundreds of Phantom Night Snow Foxes living there."

"Upon entering the palace and looking at its furnishings, Gu Han couldn't help but sigh,"

"\"I never expected the Phantom Night Snow Fox clan to also like living in a palace! \""

"Moreover, the palace also contains furnishings similar to beds and pillows."

"He never expected that such a demonic beast as the Phantom Night Snow Fox would also like sleeping on beds and pillows."

"Whine"

"Through Little Wolf's translation, Gu Han learned that the palace's construction and furniture arrangement were all the work of Little White."

"Gu Han secretly sighed."

"It seems Little White's relationship with its master back then was much closer than he imagined."

"The Phantom Night Snow Fox King personally led Gu Han and the others to find an idle room to rest."

"The entire palace was crafted from ice crystals under the Phantom Night Snow Fox's blessing."

"Gu Han and the others could light a fire for warmth without worrying about damaging the palace's structure."

"One night's time quickly passed."

"Without the Invisible Wolf's sneak attack, everyone in the palace need not worry about any safety."

"Although the Thousand Year Cold Valley is dangerous, the strongest demonic beasts are likely at the level of the Snow Fox King and the Invisible Wolf King."

"If there exists a stronger Seven-Star Demon King."

"Even if it would not easily leave the Thousand Year Cold Valley."

"The people of Han Shan Cheng would likely already be sitting on pins and needles, fleeing the city en masse!"

"Before departing the next day, Gu Han asked the Phantom Night Snow Fox King who was preparing to personally see them off,"

"\"Snow Fox King, do you know where in the Thousand Year Cold Valley there are wild ice-attribute heavenly treasures? \""

"The Snow Fox King's face momentarily showed some embarrassment."

"The Phantom Night Snow Fox clan, aside from hunting other demonic beasts on a daily basis,"

"they also need to consume heavenly treasures to grow."

All the heavenly treasures and earthly riches they know of have probably long since gone into their bellies.

How could they possibly still be here now, waiting for Gu Han to come pick them?

After saying that, Gu Han obviously realized how superfluous his question was.

He helplessly sighed, greeted Xiao Qing and the others, and prepared to leave.

It seems we can only go deeper into the Thousand Year Cold Valley to try our luck further.

But just then, the Phantom Night Snow Fox King suddenly shifted its eyes and let out a 'woo-woo' sound.

After Little Wolf translated, Gu Han's eyes lit up immediately.

"Please, Snow Fox King, lead the way!"

After the Phantom Night Snow Fox King arranged for the other snow foxes to guard the palace.

It personally led Gu Han and the others in a different direction, heading deeper into the Cold Valley.

"Snow Fox King, where are you taking us?"

Xiao Qing already knew the Phantom Night Snow Fox King could understand human speech, and anxiously approached it to ask.

When setting out from the Snow Fox Palace, the Snow Fox King instructed Xiao Qing.

Have everyone else from the Iron Blood Mercenary Group stay and rest in the Snow Fox Palace.

Xiao Qing didn't really trust the Phantom Night Snow Fox clan that much.

He was uneasy about leaving the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's people here.

After Gu Han's persuasion, he hesitated for a long time before agreeing to let the mercenary group's members stay in the Snow Fox Palace.

But as Xiao Qing went along the way, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After all, no matter what, the Phantom Night Snow Fox is still a demon beast.

The notion that humans and demons cannot coexist is deeply rooted in everyone's mind.

Even though they fought side by side with the Phantom Night Snow Fox yesterday and peacefully shared a night together.

But this notion is not so easily overturned!

"Woo-woo."

So that Xiao Qing could understand, Gu Han and Little Wolf began acting as intermediaries translating.

"Don't worry, the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's people staying in the Snow Fox Palace won't encounter danger."

"The monster we're going to face this time is even more ferocious than yesterday's invisible wolf!"

"So the Snow Fox King simply didn't bring any other Phantom Night Snow Foxes today."

"Bringing them would only be a hindrance and distract us!"

Listening to Little Wolf's translation, Gu Han also became curious about what kind of divine beast the Phantom Night Snow Fox King was referring to.

Even the Phantom Night Snow Fox King, whose strength is not inferior to Jiang Tianyi's, is on high alert!

It even proclaimed that it is more terrifying than the Phantom Night Snow Fox clan's natural enemy, the invisible wolf.

"Woo-woo."

(You'll know when you get there.)

After Gu Han and the others continued forward for about an hour, they finally saw the destination of this trip.

Upon seeing that iconic structure, Xiao Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.

"How...... how is this possible?"

Before their eyes lay a lone grave in the midst of a snowfield!
