PNB Chapter 361 Polar Region 2
Chapter 361 Polar Region 2
Cheng Jiu's previous injuries were too severe, not only physically but also psychologically!
After calming the little beast down and having a meal, Cheng Jiu couldn't wait to fall into meditation!
The little cloud beast looked warily at the shameless old man who was munching on food that Cheng Jiu was feeding him.
It's not like Xiao Jiu; it doesn't know the old guy's true colors!
But for some reason, it seemed as if something was preventing it from telling Cheng Jiu the truth!
After finishing its food, the little beast lazily stretched, its blue eyes slowly gazing at the clouds in the sky that were watching it warily.
The little cloud beast immediately sensed something was wrong!
"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"
"Holy crap!"
A white shadow flashed by, and the white cloud was instantly pressed down by the little beast, unable to move!
"Waaaaah! Waaaaah X﹏X"
Help! Let it go! And what an idiot owner! How could they think it's bullying this heartless creature? Open your eyes and see!
The little cloud beast made a lot of noise, and worried about waking Cheng Jiu, who was in meditation, it slowly exhaled a breath of icy mist towards Cheng Jiu, the dense icy spiritual energy firmly enveloping him!
The icy aura completely blocked out the commotion outside. The little beast patted the little guy beneath it, quite pleased with itself. "How about that? You're out of options now!"
Little Cloud Beast: "( ?? ﹏ ?? )"
The little beast rubbed against the little cloud beast with great enjoyment!
Mmm, mmm, not bad, not bad, it's soft and fluffy!
Bashi!
When Cheng Jiu woke up the next day, what he saw was the little cloud beast that had been tormented terribly!
Upon seeing Cheng Jiu wake up, he immediately threw himself into Cheng Jiu's arms and burst into tears. The little tyrant had never been bullied so badly before!
Cheng Jiu hugged the little cloud beast with heartache: "Don't cry, what happened! Tell me quickly!"
The little cloud beast wanted to complain to Cheng Jiu through the contract, but it couldn't say anything and could only make "woo-woo" sounds!
Little Cloud Beast: "...?"
Little Cloud Beast: "...!"
After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "Stupid master!"
After saying that, it squatted firmly on Cheng Jiu's head, huffing and puffing. If it weren't for this idiot letting the wolf into the house, would it have been so worried? How could it have been bullied so badly by that old guy!
Cheng Jiu, who had been scolded: "..."
"Not an idiot!"
"Idiot! Idiot!"
I don't even know who Little White Fatty is cursing!
"yawn!"
A giant beast hunting in the distance let out a long sneeze!
A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. That human should be awake by now. He seemed to have used up a bit too much spiritual energy yesterday!
The sneeze instantly attracted the attention of the snowfield wolf demons. Seeing the giant beast lurking behind them, the wolf pack immediately abandoned their hunt of the Blazing Snow Sheep and scattered in all directions!
The disguise failed, but the behemoth didn't care at all. An invisible ice barrier instantly enveloped the area.
Its nimble tongue, as if eating a snack, curled up the snow wolf demon and swallowed it whole!
The giant beast lazily squinted its eyes. Hmm, these don't taste as good as the pills and spirit beast food that human brought out yesterday!
However, the giant beast didn't mind. What Cheng Jiu took out yesterday was only enough for it to have a small feast. It had a huge appetite, and if it ate as much as it wanted, that human would probably go bankrupt.
The behemoth, unaware of Cheng Jiu's immense wealth, thought to itself.
Cheng Jiu felt a pang of heartache, almost suffocating, as he looked at the little black dragon that had been poured out of the spirit pouch, frozen stiff.
What exactly happened last night?
The little beast was nowhere to be seen inside the tent, and even if Cheng Jiu wanted to find it, he couldn't find the culprit!
The little cloud beast, who knew the truth, couldn't bring itself to speak.
When did it leave? Even the little cloud beast that had been guarding Cheng Jiu couldn't say.
For some reason, it fell asleep in the middle of the night, and when it woke up, the old man was no longer in the tent.
Today, Cheng Jiu noticed that the little black dragon was unusually quiet. Usually, it would have flown out with the little cloud beast to scold her by this time!
Upon examination, the body was found to be frozen stiff. If it weren't for the fact that the person was still breathing, Cheng Jiu's heart would have broken!
The little black dragon has never suffered like this since it followed her!
After feeding her the pills, Cheng Jiu held the Spirit Control Pouch, which she had carefully crafted and which had accompanied her to many places without any problems.
I never expected that the spirit-controlling pouch would fail after only a few days in the polar region!
The little black dragon's miserable state almost terrified Cheng Jiu.
We can't let the two little ones stay in the spirit pouch any longer!
After all, it's just a temporary dwelling for contracted beasts, and high-level spirit pouches are very rare on the market.
Cheng Jiu already had the best of everything she had!
With the Spirit Pouch malfunctioning and the two animals unable to withstand low temperatures, Cheng Jiu was truly reluctant to let them return to the Spirit Pouch!
We need to take some measures to keep the two little ones warm!
Cheng Jiu searched through his storage ring and found that too many things in this polar region were no longer usable!
Finally, Cheng Jiu took out a large piece of golden red fox fur, intending to make clothes and scarves for the two little ones.
Golden red fox fur is warming and keeps you warm. Most importantly, this Golden Red Fox fur is big enough and of high quality, just right for two little ones!
The little cloud beast was a little uncomfortable wearing the clothes that Cheng Jiu had made for him.
For a powerful spirit beast like it, the aura of such demonic beast fur products is no different from an invasion of its territory!
In short, I found it extremely difficult to adapt!
However, it still endured it.
The polar environment outside would be even more harmful to it; if it didn't wear the protective gear, it would have no choice but to hide in the alchemy furnace in the ninth stage of the process.
The little cloud beast won't be able to withstand the external environment for long!
Of course, the little cloud beast was unwilling. After that dangerous ordeal, it only wanted to stay outside with Cheng Jiu and didn't want to be thrown into the alchemy furnace like that unlucky guy who was unconscious!
Cheng Jiu put the alchemy furnace into the spirit-controlling pouch and wore it around his waist for double warmth, making him even warmer!
Cheng Jiu also changed into warmer clothes. The white cloak was excellent camouflage in the polar regions, and the large hood could cover his exposed head. Wearing a white shirt and red pants made it very easy to move around.
The Heavenly Wood Sword, coated with warm stone powder and worn at the waist, exudes a captivating, chilling light, befitting a peerless sword, even without the cover of a scabbard!
During his time in the polar regions, Cheng Jiu learned that the situation where one could not draw their sword was indeed real!
Once the sword is locked in the ice and snow, it cannot be drawn at all. If you encounter an enemy, you will have to fight with your bare hands.
Without the protection of a scabbard, Cheng Jiu looked at his precious sword with a pained expression, knowing that it would definitely require a lot of effort to maintain it once it was out of the house!
No matter how much it hurts, Cheng Jiu will still do it. It is the man who wields the sword, not the sword that wields the man!
With everything prepared, Cheng Jiu slowly pulled open the tent.
The biting wind howled in, and Cheng Jiu wasn't wearing gloves, which would affect his swordsmanship. The polar regions were fraught with danger, and carelessness was not an option.
Cheng Jiu deeply understands this!
Everything outside was white, and the icy spring I saw yesterday, which looked like a galaxy of stars, seemed like an illusion!
They vanished without a trace in this icy wasteland!
Cheng Jiu hesitated. Had they changed locations again overnight?
In some extremely harsh and desperate situations, the terrain within the area can indeed change randomly.
If you're lucky, you might stumble upon a large patch of spiritual herbs; otherwise, you'll be unlucky and encounter a powerful demon beast feeding on them, and you'll simply be out of luck and waiting to die!
Cheng Jiu looked at the icy plain outside with some hesitation, feeling quite uncertain.
But since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it; she had her little cloud beast with her now.
The polar regions are truly desolate; we traveled for quite a long time without encountering any living creatures!
Cheng Jiu braved the icy snow and randomly chose a direction to continue his journey.
She has no idea where she is in the polar region, so she can only take it one step at a time!
Compared to the wind and snow here, the wind and snow on the outskirts of the polar regions are practically gentle. The wind is like a blade, and the snow is like an ice blade. Such harsh conditions, with wind and ice blades blowing, are the norm here!
It also comes with a low-temperature buff. The little cloud beast had taken precautions to keep warm, but it still couldn't withstand the enchantment here.
If Cheng Jiu hadn't felt a cool sensation on his head, he probably wouldn't have noticed that the stubborn little guy on his head had been frozen into an ice block!
Cheng Jiu put the little cloud beast into the alchemy furnace. Even the little cloud beast couldn't withstand it, so Cheng Jiu paid more attention to himself.
The effects of low temperatures are the most subtle and insidious.
You never know when your hands and feet will be trapped by the low temperature.
She had no companions by her side, and if she fell, there would be no one to help her.
She had to take a Changyang Pill every half hour to ensure her safety.
Wind blades and ice blades really hurt when they hit you, and they also greatly hinder your movement.
The thin spiritual energy shield blocked most of the wind and snow falling on him!
Maintaining such a protective shield in the polar regions is extremely taxing on spiritual energy. Cheng Jiu has to stop every hour to replenish his spiritual energy, so the speed can't be much faster.
The polar nights are fraught with danger, and Cheng Jiu must find a suitable place to hide before dark, or he will suffer the same fate as the first night.
Cheng Jiu wasn't sure if he would be so lucky to be alive.
The polar regions are extremely unstable, with massive glaciers constantly colliding with each other.
Cheng Jiu was lucky enough to avoid several glacier collisions. He watched as glaciers that were originally very far apart collided rapidly in the blink of an eye, causing the earth to shake violently.
If this were happening amidst glaciers, Cheng Jiu would be worried, but who could survive such an impact?
Although they didn't encounter any monsters, Cheng Jiu was still exhausted after the journey.
Fortunately, the glacier that had already been hit would not be hit a second time in the short term, and Cheng Jiu successfully found a temporary place to stay before nightfall.
To avoid the possibility that the polar region might change randomly, Cheng Jiu chose to set up camp on top of the glacier.
Polar resources are not scarce, but unfortunately, Cheng Jiu did not find any resources worth exploiting along the way.
It's possible that those giant beasts have monopolized all the precious resources.
A day of nothing.
At night, Cheng Jiu didn't dare to go out, so he simply sat in the tent and waited for the sun to rise.
"Ding! Ding!"
The small animal, returning from the hunt, discovered that the humans were nowhere to be found.
The fiery red tents are gone, leaving only the empty, icy plains.
What about humans?
What about people?
The little animal frantically sniffed around, worried that something else might have snatched it away!
In the little beast's eyes, Cheng Jiu was a very weak human who desperately needed its protection in this polar region.
The person disappeared after just one hunting trip, and the little beast was frantic with worry.
The little beast sniffed hard in one direction and ran quickly towards it. "Wait for me, human!"
