After staring at the map for a while, Chen Hao whispered to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, "Xiao Ming, I figured where we should head next, let's go."

"Chen Hao!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly turned back to look at Chen Hao, her face showing deep concern.

"What's wrong?" Chen Hao asked.

"I have this indescribable feeling, it's related to this stone pillar!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body explained.

"And then?"

"Can we set off tomorrow? I want to sense this stone pillar more deeply, please, is that okay?" Ye Yuqiao pleaded, looking pitiful.

Chen Hao helplessly glanced at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body and then at the sun above his head.

"Alright, we can stay here tonight and head out tomorrow."

"Great!" Instantly, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's face was filled with smiles.

Evening.

The sunset was met with silence.

Xiao Bai lay on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, while Chen Hao lay on Xiao Bai's back.

Not far from them, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body sat cross-legged in front of the stone pillar, her hands feeling the stone.

Shortly after.

"Gurgle, gurgle!" A loud noise.

Chen Hao opened his eyes, then turned and crawled to Xiao Bai's left ear, asking, "Xiao Bai, are you hungry? I have—"

Chen Hao hesitated. He had wanted to say he had food, but considering Xiao Bai's enormous size, their two months' worth of supplies might not even suffice for one of his meals.

Then, Xiao Bai slowly got up, making a soft noise.

"Xiao Bai, are you going to hunt for food by yourself?" Chen Hao guessed Xiao Bai's intentions. He then slid down from Xiao Bai's head, passing between his eyes, left arm, and the corner of his mouth, finally landing on the snowy ground.

"That was fun!" Chen Hao chuckled after landing.

Then, Xiao Bai dashed away, disappearing into the snowy mountains.

For safety, Chen Hao pulled out a Yellow Talisman from his chest, casting a Spirit Talisman bird to follow closely behind Xiao Bai.

Until the sky turned completely dark, Xiao Bai rushed back, with red bloodstains on the corners of his mouth.

"Are you full?" Chen Hao asked, with a slightly sour expression.

"Roar!" Xiao Bai made a very cheerful sound. Then, he spat out a chunk of bloody meat in front of Chen Hao.

"Roar, roar!"

Chen Hao waved his hands repeatedly, then walked forward and gently touched Xiao Bai's leg, saying, "Xiao Bai, you're such a good boy, but you should keep it for yourself."

Having said that, Chen Hao turned to look at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Xiao Ming, did you sense anything?"

"Not yet."

"Do you want to eat something?"

"No, I'm not hungry!"

"Alright then." Chen Hao's tone was somewhat awkward, "Then keep sensing, I'm heading back to the Nether Acupoint to rest."

"Jerk, do you really have the heart to let a young girl stay alone in this snowy night?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was clearly angry.

Chen Hao looked puzzled, "Why not? You're not like the usual girls; there's nothing dangerous for you."

"But I'm scared."

"What could you possibly be afraid of? But those beasts are afraid of you."

"I'm afraid of loneliness. Anyway, you must stay with me, otherwise I won't like you anymore!"

Chen Hao sighed helplessly, having no choice but to lie back down in Xiao Bai's sorrow, staying close to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body with Xiao Bai.

..

The night had deepened.

Chen Hao and Xiao Bai had already fallen asleep, while Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was still intently sensing the stone pillar.

She could vaguely hear a voice inside the pillar calling out to her. However, whenever she tried to approach the voice, she always fell just short, as if something was separating them.

At this moment, the cold winds of the Polar Ice Land were howling incessantly!

Her long hair, disheveled in the air, was sheared off by the wind.

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body opened her eyes, and two beams of light shot out from them.

Among the vast, white shadows of the mountains to the north, she felt an extraordinary Spiritual Power approaching.

And the speed of that power was extremely fast. If lightning was the fastest thing she had ever seen, then this force was far surpassing it.

"Ah!" Chen Hao suddenly woke up; he too sensed that power.

The two looked at each other, and then Ye Yuqiao retracted her hand from the pillar, stood up, and said, "Chen Hao, be careful."

At that time, a flurry of snow appeared in the sky, hundreds of meters to the north.

"Is it snowing?" Chen Hao furrowed his brows, then shook his head, his eyes sparking as he said, "This isn't snow!"

His words had barely left his lips when the floating snow had already swept in front of them.

Among the vast snowflakes, he saw a figure.

Suddenly, the figure stopped, and the snow that followed him rushed forward.

Then, Chen Hao could clearly see the person's appearance.

Beneath the disheveled hair was a pale, bloodless face; a gaunt face that highlighted a pair of profound eyes. And that person emanated an ancient Spiritual Power.

Chen Hao hopped off Xiao Bai, then patted Xiao Bai's head, signaling him to stay away.

Once Xiao Bai had run off, he looked at the strange man and asked, "Who are you?"

"You!" The man pointed at Chen Hao, then at his own left eye, "Hand over what's on your left eye, and I might spare your life."

Chen Hao frowned and asked, "Are you sent by the Second Generation Nether King?"

The man did not answer Chen Hao's question, instead turning to look at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, "You're dead!"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body snorted in anger, "You're the one who's dead!"

Her blood was already boiling.

"Are you going to hand it over?" the man pressed Chen Hao, "If not, I'll kill you right now."

"No!"

The man's eyes bulged, filled with killing intent.

Suddenly, he disappeared!

"Ugh!" Chen Hao let out a miserable scream.

It was the man who had appeared behind him and struck a harsh blow to his back, completely unperceived.

The man was just too fast.

"Ugh!" Then, Chen Hao screamed again. Between the two screams, his body had already taken several punches from the man.

Each punch of the man, filled with immense Spiritual Power, could shatter his muscles and bones.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body could not even see the man's figure.

At that moment, suddenly, a Nether Acupoint appeared above her head, then sucked her in.

She hadn't expected that as Chen Hao was passively taking blows, he was still worried about her.

However, just as she was about to be pulled into the Nether Acupoint, a force grabbed her ankle and pulled her down, then she was harshly thrown to the ground.
