White Snow usually appeared extremely pure and adorable.
When she had nothing to do, she would always sit there, munching on a super-giant burger with a three-meter diameter.
Overall, she gave off a gentle, well-behaved, and even a bit silly and clumsy impression.
Despite this, please don't forget!
White Snow is a Ya Long race spirit beast!
The Ya Long race inherits some abilities from the Dragon race, and also inherits many of the Dragon race's inherent traits.
Arrogance, irritability, and proneness to frenzy.
Regarding arrogance, it varies in degree due to different races and Growth environments. White Snow isn't as arrogant as common Ya Long race members; at least, she doesn't show it.
However, irritability and proneness to frenzy are common inherent traits of all Dragon race and Ya Long race members!
Especially when their 'reverse scale' is touched and harmed, Dragon race and Ya Long race spirit beasts will 100% become enraged and go berserk.
This 'reverse scale' does not refer to the physical reverse scale on their body, which is the hardest but also the weakest point of Dragon and Ya Long race spirit beasts.
Here, the so-called reverse scale refers to something cherished and cared about spiritually; it could be a person, an object, or even an embarrassing past event or scar.
The current situation is precisely this.
Ever since White Snow joined the team, whether it was Lin Chuan, Guoguo Sakura, or Wan Wan, they all poured genuine affection into White Snow.
White Snow's psychological journey also developed as Lin Chuan expected.
She didn't develop into a yandere with explosive possessiveness and jealousy, or rather, White Snow's possessiveness and jealousy encompassed Lin Chuan, Guoguo Sakura, Wan Wan, and all other spirit beasts. She already considered Lin Chuan, as well as Guoguo, Sakura, and Wan Wan, to be the most beloved and important existences.
Lin Chuan and the various spirit beasts are White Snow's reverse scale.
Now, her reverse scale has been touched, and harmed.
How could White Snow tolerate it?
The Ya Long race's inherent nature instantly plunged her into a state of rage.
White Snow's Wind Dragon Breath had just reached the proficient level so far.
At this moment, under the infuriated state of her reverse scale, White Snow unleashed its destructive power at the mastery level.
Green airflow gathered in her huge dragon mouth, forming a giant green jade, which White Snow then powerfully spat out.
Although he was knocked flying, Lin Chuan did not suffer too serious injuries.
After all, Little Tail had only completed its reincarnation a week ago and was currently in an absolutely Cub juvenile stage.
Even at mid-Lord Rank, its combat power in this situation could be ignored.
Well, Lin Chuan was already a Level 16 Beast Master, truly stepping into the realm of the extraordinary. Although he focused purely on mental enhancements rather than physical Growth as a Beast Master, his physical quality was still more than double that of an ordinary person.
If it were an ordinary person, Little Tail's impact would likely have caused severe, life-threatening injuries.
As for Lin Chuan, he merely felt his entire body's bones trembling.
With Lin Chuan's current physique and recovery ability, he could recover in at most 10 minutes of rest.
Lin Chuan endured the slight pain, got up, and at the same time called out to Guoguo and Sakura.
“Guoguo, Sakura!”
In fact, Guoguo and Sakura's reactions were faster and earlier than Lin Chuan's command.
Guoguo and Sakura cooperated seamlessly, jointly raising a vine armor shield wall, almost to their limit, blocking White Snow's Wind Dragon Breath.
Although the direct attack was blocked, the indirect aftermath could not be stopped.
The green wind jade exploded, and chaotic airflow raged and swept through the entire cave interior.
Fairy Arts are formed by using Fairy Attribute energy to draw upon the natural energy in the surrounding environment.
At this moment, among the elemental energies in the surrounding natural environment, the most abundant were Wind Attribute, and the Wood Attribute jointly cast by Guoguo and Sakura.
Wan Wan shielded Lin Chuan, spreading her arms wide.
Fairy Art: Wood Spirit Shield.
A huge emerald spirit shield expanded, completely blocking the aftermath of the wind storm for Lin Chuan.
Sakura and Guoguo both used their physical Rooting to stabilize themselves against the aftermath of the wind storm.
After the aftermath subsided, Sakura canceled Rooting, and she rushed towards White Snow at the first opportunity.
Illusion Dream Realm, plus verbal appeasement.
White Snow instantly fell into a daze.
Guoguo, on the other hand, fixed her emerald green eyes on Little Tail, who had been blown to the ground by the aftermath of the wind storm.
At this moment, Guoguo, who had fully recovered, was also furious.
Even though she had a slight fondness for Little Tail.
However, this slight fondness was completely negligible compared to Lin Chuan's safety.
How dare it harm her master.
It seems Guo Di will have to personally eliminate this beast.
That's what she was saying.
But the instruction Lin Chuan conveyed through the contract was to suppress and capture alive.
So, Guoguo controlled her strength, conjuring a Bomb Fruit that was neither too big nor too small, perfectly suited to Little Tail's size, and threw it directly at Little Tail.
With a bang, Little Tail was precisely hit by Guoguo's Bomb Fruit, leaving it in a disheveled state.
However, it swayed twice, yet managed to endure and not fall down.
Blood seeped from the corner of its mouth, its eyes still blood-red, it scanned its surroundings, and Little Tail's pale golden, blood-stained eyes settled on Lin Chuan.
Seemingly struggling, Little Tail's cute deer face became twisted and ferocious, but quickly stabilized again.
The next moment.
Little Tail's antlers on its head erupted with dazzling bright light.
Bright Light Art!
Lin Chuan unconsciously narrowed his eyes, as did Guoguo.
When the Bright Light Art dissipated, Little Tail had already squeezed out through the crack in the cave entrance, and with a few leaps, it jumped down from the cliff face.
Should they pursue?
In an instant, Lin Chuan made his decision.
Pursue!
Although he didn't know why, from its appearance, Little Tail seemed to have regained its intelligence?
A mid-Lord Rank Light Attribute creature that has regained its intelligence, even if it's a Demon Beast, is extremely rare. Even if he didn't contract it himself, bringing it back to the Sixth Academy for students in the Taming major to domesticate, or for Professor Qu Cheng to research breeding, would be an excellent choice.
It consumed his resources, got a free reincarnation, and almost severely injured him.
Letting it escape like this would be too unreasonable.
If it really doesn't work out, then turn it into material!!
White Snow had already been successfully appeased and calmed down by Sakura.
Riding White Snow, Lin Chuan chased after it.
Despite being a cub and running on the ground, Little Tail's speed was exceptionally fast, not at all slower than White Snow flying in the air.
This made Lin Chuan deeply suspicious.
With such ground running speed, how on earth was Little Tail caught by Murakami Yasuyo's monster hunting group?
Chasing and chasing.
Unable to catch up with Little Tail, White Snow's emotions gradually became agitated, and the anger that had just been appeased surged forth again.
Lin Chuan also frowned slightly, gently patting White Snow.
“Ride the Wind.”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The wind howled, and White Snow's flying speed suddenly increased by a significant margin.
Currently, Lin Chuan's flying horsemanship had gradually developed through constant riding of White Snow.
It wasn't excellent, but it could be considered competent.
Lin Chuan crouched low, gripping tightly onto the harness around White Snow's neck.
Gradually, White Snow caught up to Little Tail.
However, just then, as if hitting an invisible membrane, as if plunging into a ball of cotton, White Snow's speed suddenly plummeted.
At the same time, the surroundings abruptly changed.
Mist, mist composed of endless Illusion Attribute energy, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Even the mid-air where White Snow was flying gradually became covered by the mist.
A thick fog where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Lin Chuan released Sakura from his beast space, but even with Sakura's Illusion Attribute ability, she couldn't see through this dense fog, only able to assimilate and disperse a small area around her with her own Illusion Attribute energy.
As Lin Chuan grew increasingly nervous and wanted to retreat, at that moment, a soft 'yo-yo' deer cry reached Lin Chuan's ears through the thick mist.
“Master, that's Little Tail's voice. It's telling us to follow it.”
Wan Wan, also released by Lin Chuan, translated.
Lin Chuan hesitated. Reason told him he should leave immediately.
However, his instinct was urging him to approach, as if something within was calling to him.
A path of sacred light suddenly appeared, piercing through the mist, quietly emerging before Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan: ...
It seems there's no escaping.
Lin Chuan had White Snow fly along the sound and the path of light.
After about 10 minutes, there was another sensation of passing through a thin membrane, and all the surrounding dense mist suddenly vanished.
The surrounding scenery once again transformed into a clear, visible forest!
No, that's not right!!
Unlike the naturally beautiful forests of the middle and outer layers, what was this situation!?
Lin Chuan's mouth hung open, looking at everything before him in disbelief.
This was a dark, silent, completely lifeless, eerie dark forest, like a valley of terror.
The ground was covered with all sorts of monster skeletons!
There were even human Beast Masters' skeletons!
Visibly, Ghost Attribute, Dark Attribute, and Demon Attribute energies floated in wisps in the surrounding void.
This is the inner circle of the Mist Forest?
Isn't the inner circle of the Mist Forest the reclusive dwelling of the legendary monster, the Light Unicorn?
Shouldn't the Light Unicorn's reclusive dwelling be filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a scene of complete harmony!
What exactly is going on here?
Yo-yo, yo-yo~~
Silently, Little Tail appeared beside Lin Chuan. White Snow instinctively wanted to attack it but was stopped by Lin Chuan's gentle pat on the head. However, Lin Chuan still maintained full vigilance.
Wan Wan translated Little Tail's words in real-time.
“Master, Little Tail says this is its home.”
“Its home that once gave it warmth, security, and happiness.”
“However, now it has become like this, and all of this was done by you humans!”
Lin Chuan was silent.
When he saw those human skeletons, he already had a premonition.
The truth, indeed, was as he suspected.
No wonder Little Tail was so hostile towards humans.
No wonder, as soon as it regained its intelligence, it attacked him, a human, and even the enslavement contract couldn't suppress its desire to attack.
“Where is the Light Unicorn?”
Lin Chuan asked. The path of light just now was clearly not something Little Tail could cast, nor could an ordinary monster. There was only one possibility: the legendary Holy Spirit, the Light Unicorn.
Little Tail fell silent. Just then, a weak, young male voice directly entered Lin Chuan's mind.
【I am, here.】
The moment the voice appeared, the sound of hooves, 'pat-pat-pat', began.
A moment later, a handsome and majestic horse-shaped monster, about 3 meters tall, with half of its body covered in snow-white fur and the other half eroded by an unknown impurity into a grayish-red, and a pure white single horn on its head, slowly emerged from the dark jungle nearby.
Its appearance instantly dissipated the dark and terrifying atmosphere around them, giving birth to a natural atmosphere of spring blossoming.
【Welcome, human Beast Master, from the Qilin Country.】
【Welcome to, my, Light Realm.】
