Chapter 186 (2/2)
What surprised Ye Tian Xie was that this time it wasn't the monk Flowerless from yesterday or master Brothel Goer from two hours ago, but rather it was an even older monk. This monk was visibly very old and if anyone said that he was already over a hundred years old, Ye Tian Xie would not have doubted them.
”h.e.l.lo, brave one from another world. Your expression tells me that you are here to accept the trial.” The old monk greeted him and said.
”Yes great master. I'll have to trouble you to send me to the 'Frost Wolf's Hole'.” Ye Tian Xie politely replied.
”Frost Wolf's Hole…..That is a terrifying place. Not only is it very cold, there are also countless wild predators occupying the area. Benefactor, could you listen to this old monk's advice? Before you reach level twenty five, please do not try to go there. Even if there were no enemies, just the terrifying cold is enough to put you beyond redemption, Amitabha.” The old monk patiently explained.
Ye Tian Xie's face did not change as he said, ”Many thanks for this old master's advice. I will respect it……but I still wish to ask this great master to send me to the Frost Wolf's Hole.”
”Since benefactor has made your choice, this old monk will not reject you.”
”Can I ask this great master's spiritual name?”
”Amitabha, this old monk's name is…..Little Bird.” The old monk calmly said.
”……Then I'll have to trouble you, great master Little Bird.” Ye Tian Xie was certain now. These monks seemed normal, but there was not a single normal one here. ”That's right, where are masters Flowerless and Brothel Goer?”
”Amitabha, they are tired after receiving too many guests, so they went to go rest.”
Too many guests……This phrase made Ye Tian Xie break out in gooseb.u.mps. Without saying anything else, he just waited for master Little Bird to transfer him.
Master Little Bird did not immediately send him, but said in an honest and slow voice, ”Today a total of one hundred and seventy two teams have been sent there and there are currently no teams waiting to enter. As for the teams that have entered the Frost Wolf's Hole, there have been only two so far. Even like this, do you still want to go?”
”Oh? Why have only two teams entered after so many people have been sent there? What about the others? Why did they not wait instead of leaving?” Ye Tian Xie knit his brows as he asked this and his hearts filled with questions. After the mercenary system quest's reward was published, a fire was lit in countless players' hearts as they wanted to complete the system quests. There were over three hundred teams fighting over the final spot for the Ten Thousand Bone Ruins.
As for this Frost Wolf's Hole, there was no one waiting there at all. This was something he could not understand.
”Benefactor, you'll know once you go there. It isn't suitable for this monk to tell you. Alright, this old monk will teleport you now.”
After the monk mumbled a few words, an array appeared underneath Ye Tian Xie's feet and he was sent away from the Flowerless Temple.
”Amitabha, I wish you a safe trip.” The old monk said in a low voice before sitting down and reciting his sacred chants……
”I……am……a…….small……small……small……small…..bird……ao, ao, ao……”

The bone chilling cold was like a cold knife being stabbed into his body. As soon as Ye Tian Xie appeared in this world of ice and snow, he immediately knew why there was no one waiting here.
The smell at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Bone Ruins could be endured, but this cold pressure was not something normal people could endure for a long time.
-5.
-5.
-5.
-5.
Every second that pa.s.sed, a red figure appeared above Ye Tian Xie's head. Not only was the cold hard to endure, it even damaged people's HP.
The HP regeneration of the life ring that was normally turned off instantly activated and the draining of his HP was cancelled out. Ye Tian Xie walked forward a step and found that under the snow, there was an incomparably smooth ice surface. Ye Tian Xie did not expect his foot sliding underneath him and he almost fell.
”Yi, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yi? How did you not fall?”
When Ye Tian Xie's foot slid out underneath him, a wild laughter sounded out. This was the immature laugh of a young girl, but it had an arrogant tone to it that a little girl's voice should not have. Ye Tian Xie had used his sense of balance that was beyond a normal person's to stay standing up and not fall down, making the owner of the laugh surprised and disappointed.
Straightening himself, Ye Tian Xie looked at where the sound came from. He found that not far away, there was a snowman that has half as tall as a human. Completely surrounded by snow, he almost did not even notice the snowman since it blended into the background……No, it shouldn't be a snowman, it should be a white ice person. Sitting on top of this snowman was a little girl revealing an excited look on her face.
If a normal little girl sat on a snowman, it would have collapsed already.
