As Lingling speculated, the Frosty Ancient Eagles started from the food that had been caught around half a month ago. They were keeping the latest kills for the long winter.

Everyone was frozen inside the ice. The wall of ice was transparent, as if they were separated by a steel-reinforced glass all around them. The Frosty Ancient Eagles were very close to them, so they could see every single move of the raptors.

Yassen, Zhao Kang, Bertan, and the others were relieved when they saw the Frosty Ancient Eagles digging out the corpses from the thicker ice. The plan had worked as intended, or they would be fighting the Frosty Ancient Eagles right now!

They were unable to move in the ice, but they could still blink. Mu Ningxue’s encasement technique had left them with some extra space instead of sealing them up completely, just in case there was an accident.

Mo Fan was watching the eagles carefully. He saw a few male eagles roaming about who were currently behind Zhao Manyan and Guan Yu.

Zhao Manyan and Guan Yu could not turn around, so they had no idea a few Frosty Ancient Eagles were behind them. Mo Fan kept rolling his eyes to signal Zhao Manyan and Guan Yu through the ice.

Zhao Manyan was utterly confused when he saw what Mo Fan was doing. Is Mo Fan having a brain freeze from the ice?, he wondered.

What the heck is wrong with him? Why does he keep rolling his eyes? Up down left right, is he trying to toggle a cheat code to increase his lives?

“Behind, behind you, the Frosty Ancient Eagles are digging in the ice!” Mo Fan wished his eyes could transmit his thoughts so he could warn the two idiots!

The male Frosty Ancient Eagles were digging into the ice that Zhao Manyan and Guan Yu were in. These bulky creatures were behaving strangely. They were going after the fresher food instead of the food that was stored half a month ago!

“Apas, can you drive those three male eagles away?” Mo Fan communicated with Apas through their Contract.

Apas was frozen right beside Mo Fan. She tried her best to lift her head and answer Mo Fan’s question with her eyes: No!

What’s going on? Aren’t they supposed to keep the fresher food for winter? Why aren’t those male eagles following the rules?, Mo Fan thought.

“Most demon creatures prefer fresh food. Even though the Frosty Ancient Eagles are storing food for winter, there are Frosty Ancient Eagles with a nobler status. They are obviously not restricted to eating the lower-quality food that was stored half a month ago. These male eagles are picking the fresher food to pander to the nobles… that stupid girl didn’t take it into account!” Apas informed Mo Fan through their Contract.

“Why didn’t you tell us before?” Mo Fan demanded.

“What difference would it make? Are you going to come up with a better plan? Perhaps Lingling already considered it, but she didn’t say anything!”

“Use your Psychic Voice to warn Zhao Manyan and Guan Yu!”

“I’ll try, but the ice might affect my ability.”
