The next morning, Luo Zixi woke up from his sleep. Although the fireplace in the room was still burning, the temperature in the room had clearly dropped a bit.
He slowly got up and opened a crack in the window. Just as he had guessed, the sky outside was still pitch black.
As far as he knew, the Far North was originally a forbidden zone for humans, and this small manor only a hundred miles away from the extreme north was no different.
The low temperature here was close to minus ten degrees Celsius, not to mention the ultra-low temperature of nearly minus one hundred degrees Celsius inside the Far North.
At this time, Hu Liena, this little slave, was still sleeping soundly wrapped in a thick blanket. Luo Zixi had no intention of disturbing her rest.
Last night, it was already very late when Luo Zixi returned to the room, and the other party had been lying in bed waiting for him to come back.
Isn't it strange? He clearly didn't tell her to wait for him.
But she was waiting for him to come back, and then she gave him the warmed bed.
Luo Zixi was a sentimental person, but his sentimentality would also be treated differently depending on the object.
A beautiful girl warming the bed sounded really good, but if his strength and methods weren't sufficient, he would have died at their hands a few days ago.
In his opinion, a large part of his relationship with Hu Liena depended on the Slave Mark. Without this mark, he believed Hu Liena would likely not be this kind.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Luo Zixi woke up Hu Liena, who was still sleeping soundly.
After being woken by him, her consciousness seemed a little hazy. She rubbed her eyes very lazily and stretched comfortably.
However, at this moment, the door was directly opened by Luo Zixi.
The bone-chilling cold wind poured in from outside. Feeling the biting cold wind, Hu Liena instantly came back to her senses. After seeing Luo Zixi's still indifferent eyes, she very wisely put on the fur coat the other party had given her.
Luo Zixi didn't speak, just stood at the door watching Hu Liena buckle her leather boots and put on her dark brown cold-weather clothing.
Hu Liena, who had quickly tidied her attire, very tacitly stood directly beside Luo Zixi.
"Let's go."
There was still not much emotion in Luo Zixi's voice, and Hu Liena just followed closely behind Luo Zixi.
After seeing the dozens of frozen, grim-faced corpses in the inn's lobby, Hu Liena finally knew what Luo Zixi had been doing when he went out last night.
Both sides of the manor's roads were full of frozen corpses showing despair, and beside them lay various sharp farm tools.
Hu Liena had also crawled out of the Spirit Hall's hell assessment, so she was not too shocked after seeing this scene like a human purgatory.
After walking out of the manor, Luo Zixi looked back at Hu Liena and pointed his index finger, carrying a trace of ice-blue power, at her brow.
The next moment, she was actually able to see the full view of the entire manor through the ice and snow. Immediately after, her dark brown pupils suddenly widened, and an emotion called fear gradually spread through her spiritual world.
At a quarter past three in the afternoon, Luo Zixi and Hu Liena finally reached the true dividing line between the Far North and the Continent, the Ice Frost Forest.
The Ice Frost Forest is located in the southwestern part of the Far North.
Looking at the map, it directly divides the habitat of the Far North soul beasts within the forest, while the outside is nearly a hundred miles of lifeless ice and snow plains.
Even though this was just the edge of the Far North, it had a terrifying low temperature of over seventy degrees Celsius below zero.
The wind and snow here were at least five times stronger than at the Ice Snow Manor. Walking here was like walking through a maze. With his tacit permission, Hu Liena also tightly clutched his arm, only exposing a pair of eyes as they moved forward.
The bare Ice Frost Forest was not a place where they could set up camp, so Luo Zixi wanted to first head towards the inner area of the Far North to make an underground ice house as a foothold.
The Ice Frost Forest was not very safe during the day either. Only after dealing with a pack of thousand-year Ice Wolves did they successfully pass through this forest and officially enter the Far North.
However, before they had even fully entered the territory of the Far North, a violent roar came from a distance, and that violent explosion was constantly approaching them!
"A bad start!"
Without a word, Luo Zixi directly used his Ice Spirit Body to clear a passage through the thick snow beneath his feet.
Immediately after, he pulled Hu Liena into his arms and jumped down. The bright opening above was tightly sealed by the thick snow mixed with ice shards that he controlled.
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!!"
Two more terrifying explosions followed, causing the Far North border to tremble. Luo Zixi held nothing back, directly using the power of his Ice Spirit Body to cover himself and Hu Liena, concealing their aura.
Soon, a violent rumbling sound came from above them, followed by some fine crunching sounds, as if it were the sound of some creature feeding.
In the concealed dark passage, although Hu Liena didn't know exactly what was happening, she instinctively felt fear towards this unknown powerful creature.
However, Luo Zixi's eyes emitted an ice-blue light in the darkness underground.
Yes, he could rely on the information transmitted to him by the surrounding ice elements to determine what kind of creature the other party was.
But at this moment, the sound of a giant object landing reached Luo Zixi's ears. Feeling this, the hairs on his body instantly stood up.
Then, he immediately pulled Hu Liena with him and desperately pressed their bodies against the bottom of the pit, which wasn't very large to begin with.
"Boom!!!!"
The violent explosion converged into terrifying energy fluctuations, leveling the surrounding glaciers and forests for nearly several hundred meters.
After the violent explosion, Luo Zixi slowly raised his body, wanting to observe the situation outside through the ice and snow, but...
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
The biting cold wind blew Luo Zixi's black hair. Why did he still need to observe through the feedback of ice and snow? Now he could just open his eyes and see for himself!
That's right, the area above the deep pit where Luo Zixi and Hu Liena were was directly flattened by the explosion, and the range of the explosion was just a few centimeters above their bodies.
Looking at the irregular ice crystals created by the explosion around him, Luo Zixi only felt a chill down his spine.
But soon he discovered two pieces of emerald-green "ice" shining less than a meter in front of him, looking like jade.
Just as he felt puzzled, all the information about this item appeared directly in front of him.
