Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Ice-Feathered Spirit

Climbing up the iron vines, the cave was about twenty meters high. Chu Mu let MO Ye lead the way, while he climbed up slowly.
“I need to learn Riding Wind as soon as possible. So that next time something chases me, I can run a bit faster.” Chu Mu muttered to himself.
Riding Wind can reduce one’s body weight, and upon reaching the full term, it can even enable brief floating; it’s very practical.
“Oooh.” MO Ye had already climbed to the cave entrance, notifying Chu Mu that there were no other ferocious beasts inside.
“This should be the Ice Falcon’s nest. Those Ice Falcons from before must have been guarding the cave. But they ended up being used as food storage by Little Green Worm during its pupation stage…”
When Chu Mu climbed into the cave, he immediately felt a cold blast, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
As they headed deeper into the cave, the coldness intensified. The cave walls were no longer covered in the green iron vines but thick layers of white ice blocks.
The piercing cold forced Chu Mu’s breath to come out in white puffs. Moments ago, he was in the tropical jungle, and now a frigid world had enveloped him. He was struggling to adapt to this sudden change in temperature.
In the end, Chu Mu decided to hold MO Ye, allowing MO Ye to release some heat to resist the cold invasion.
The cave gradually darkened, and Chu Mu released his Soul Sense to perceive everything in front of him.
Suddenly, Chu Mu sensed a slight movement from deep within the ice-covered cave. The movement was incredibly subtle, like the gentle rubbing of two ice blocks, without making any sound.
“MO Ye, Flame Glimmer.” Chu Mu gave the command, putting MO Ye down.
Immediately, MO Ye’s silver eyes emitted a bewitching glow of fire. In an instant, two strands of fiery light intertwined in the darkness of the cave!
The moment the fire lit up, the entire cave, covered in ice crystals, became incredibly glossy. The red firelight constantly reflected, making the cave even brighter.
“Chirp-
The moment the fire ignited, a crisp cry emanated from within the cave. Chu Mu instantly spotted a snow-white creature in the location he had sensed earlier.
“Ice-Feathered Spirit!”
Although the firelight had only lit up briefly, Chu Mu recognized the Soul Pet hiding in the ice-encrusted cave at first glance!
Ice-Feathered Spirit, Elemental World – Ice Type – Immortal Clan High – ranking War General.
Its upper body was similar to a human shape, and its lower half was made of muddled ice and snow. The Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body was covered in thick ice crystals, equivalent to constantly having the Ice Armor skill active. It possessed a far greater control over ice than any other creature. With the cultivation of various polar ores, its strength could continue to improve.
“Already able to create such a large ice-encrusted cave at its Second Rank Sixth Stage, and becoming the guardian deity of the Ice Falcons, this Ice-Feathered Spirit is really remarkable.” Chu Mu revealed a look of delight.
It was evident that the Ice Falcons lived here because of the ice-encrusted cave created by this Ice-Feathered Spirit. For better survival, the Ice Falcons would naturally worship this particular Ice-Feathered Spirit as their guardian deity. Also, this Ice-Feathered Spirit would definitely receive special care from the Ice Falcon group, which made it much stronger than ordinary Ice-Feathered Spirits.
Little Green Worm would need a long time to complete its pupation and become a true Soul Pet. Chu Mu naturally could not afford to leave his Soul Warrior sub-pet slot empty for too long, and this Ice-Feathered Spirit was precisely the Soul Pet that Chu Mu was quite satisfied with.
“MO Ye, it’s your turn!” Chu Mu stepped back a bit and said deliberately.
MO Ye was well aware of Chu Mu’s fondness for the Ice-Feathered Spirit. Its eyes, already burning with flames, were locked onto the bewilderment of the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
This Ice-Feathered Spirit seemed to have always lived in the cave, protected by the Ice Falcons. It showed no hostility towards other creatures whatsoever, and its mind was incredibly pure. It was only when MO Ye charged towards it that the Ice-Feathered Spirit realized it meant harm.
As Chu Mu backed away, he recited the spell, turning the last of his Soul Power into a Flame Attachment and applied it to MO Ye.
MO Ye was at the Second Rank Ninth Stage, three stages higher than the
Ice-Feathered Spirit. However, the Ice-Feathered Spirit was a high-level General-ranked soul pet, and its defense and magic damage ability were extremely terrifying. Even five Servant Ranked Spirit Beasts at the Second Rank Sixth Stage couldn’t stand a chance against it.
This Second Rank Sixth Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit was constantly covered in
Ice Armor, making its body defense skin incredibly strong. Without the Flame Attachment, MO Ye wouldn’t be able to inflict any damage on the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
“Whoosh-
Flames ignited in MO Ye’s silver-white fur as the Soul Warrior’s skill added burning damage to MO Ye’s Claw Blade!
Blood Split Claw!
MO Ye’s battle experience was much richer than that of the Ice-Feathered Spirit. As soon as Chu Mu gave the command, MO Ye found the perfect attack position and slashed the Ice-Feathered Spirit viciously with its Blood Split Claw!
Like slashing on a smooth metal surface, MO Ye’s Blood Split Claw struck the Ice-Feathered Spirit squarely but failed to inflict fatal damage. It left only a trace on its Ice Armor.
Chu Mu was stunned. He had applied the Flame Attachment to MO Ye to maximize its attack power. Yet, a direct attack like this only left a trace on the Ice-Feathered Spirit, its defense power was astonishingly strong!
“Squeal!!!
The attacked Ice-Feathered Spirit cried out in confusion, seemingly feeling pain, and instinctively released its ice attribute skills.
Countless Frost Blades quickly appeared around the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body.
“Swish Swish Swish!!!!!!!!”
The Frost Blades shot out, resembling tree-handle ice blades whizzing through the cave, leaving numerous deep blade marks on the cave wall. The piercingly sharp sound echoed in the cave.
Chu Mu decisively retreated, but MO Ye didn’t move, and directly used Moon Shadow to dodge the chaotic flying assault of Frost Blades.
“MO Ye, keep attacking.”
After dodging the Frost Blades, MO Ye’s Sharp Claw was once again covered with a red flame and continued to charge towards the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit had no battle experience whatsoever. Seeing the flaming MO Ye charging at it, it looked panicked and tried to flee.
MO Ye’s Blood Split Claw once again tore at the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s skin, leaving another trace on its body. Still, it didn’t cause much damage to the Ice-Feathered Spirit this time either.
“MO Ye, run around it and keep running.” Seeing that the Ice-Feathered Spirit had no fighting will, Chu Mu immediately chuckled.
MO Ye’s running speed was extremely fast. As it chased around the Ice-Feathered Spirit, the flames on its body continuously danced, forming a red ring of fire around the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The ring of fire only caused some burning damage to the Ice -Feathered Spirit, but the latter was very afraid and actually let out a cry of panic.
“It has such a unique environment but no fighting will…” Chu Mu said, looking at the incredibly timid Ice-Feathered Spirit, “However, it’s fine. With training, it’s bound to become a good soul pet.”
Chu Mu had MO Ye continue to maintain the fire, making the Ice-Feathered Spirit, who disliked the temperature of the flames, cease releasing Frost Blades and just kept shrieking.
“This Ice-Feathered Spirit… really is adorably foolish…” Chu Mu shook his head helplessly, feeling that there was no need to injure it further and decided to just recite the Soul Contract Spell directly.
“Eeek!!!!!!!!
At this moment, an extremely sharp cry came from outside the cave, it was the call of the Ice Falcons!
