Chapter 693: Meeting an Acquaintance! (1/2)

“Are these ice caves really formed naturally?” Bai Xiaofei couldn’t help but ask. This crisscrossed and spacious cave was too neat to be true!

“Otherwise? Who would be so idle to come to this place just to dig these caves? Maybe it’s the magical beasts, don’t they all say where there are animals, there are holes? Maybe there are even beasts here that we have never seen before that are good at doing this.” Leng Liuying shrugged, giving a speculation good enough to answer Bai Xiaofei’s question.

“There’s something there!” A’First, who was leading the group, suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked over and saw a small white figure flashing by. If it wasn’t for their sharp eyesight, they wouldn’t even be able to catch a glimpse of it.

“After it!” Bai Xiaofei quickly decided. No matter what it was, it was better to follow it than wandering about like headless flies.

A’Fourth waved his hand. The group immediately felt their bodies lighten and their speed soared to a new level. This was A’Fourth’s puppet ability – Gravity Control!

When the ‘A’ group first preyed on Bai Xiaofei, it was not without reason that the other thieves chose to back out. Although they only had five members, the ‘A’ group was a famous bandit group in the industry. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent and were captured without even being able to display a fraction of their actual skill…

The white figure was too fast for the group even with their speed greatly increased. On top of that, all the twists and turns in the ice cave gave it the advantage and the group quickly lost sight of it.

They helplessly stopped. A’First released his purple-tailed mink, but it unfortunately could not provide any help this time. Purple-tailed minks excelled at identifying terrain but not tracking targets.

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. If you refuse to work, I promise you will not get any more treats!” Bai Xiaofei said coldly just as everyone else ran out of ideas.

Huskie, who had been nesting in his arms, reluctantly poked out his head but showed no intention of leaving his warm ‘nest.’ After sniffing the air, the dog’s eyes suddenly lit up before barking twice.

Huskie was not allowed to speak when there were outsiders around, although he didn’t carry out this duty very well.

“Really?!” Bai Xiaofei exclaimed.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously. His expression was telling them that he got more than just the direction of the white figure.

“What’s the matter?” asked Leng Liuli.

Bai Xiaofei’s lips curled up, his eyes deep.

“That’s an old acquaintance of mine. I hope they haven’t forgotten me!” Bai Xiaofei acted all mysterious as he took the lead.

Bai Xiaofei also frowned as he couldn’t think of a reason either. Moreover, there was also another thing that he couldn’t figure out. Clearly the temperature was so high, but why didn’t the surrounding ice melt at all?

It was so bizarre that he couldn’t wait to find out.

“Boss, I don’t know if I should say this,” A’First suddenly spoke.

“What is it?” Bai Xiaofei stopped.

He was not an autocrat and was very willing to accept opinions from others. This was the necessary quality of a lazy boss. Everyone who knew him was always ‘deeply touched’ by this quality…

“To be able to make the belly of the Holy Snow Mountain this hot, there is only one possibility that I can think of. Boss, does your acquaintance have something to do with that Emperor Rank beast?”

Everyone was struck with realization.

The excited Bai Xiaofei also calmed down. He was too caught up by the information Huskie gave him and forgot about that. He immediately considered carefully after A’First’s reminder. The situation might be a bit complicated!

“No matter what, we are already here. You guys wait here, I’ll have a look,” Bai Xiaofei decided after some thought.

The triplets didn’t say anything. They knew Bai Xiaofei, knew his character, and believed in his abilities.

“Be careful,” said Leng Liuli.

Bai Xiaofei responded with a smile. Taking a deep breath, he walked alone in the direction that Huskie had pointed. As he went deeper into the ice cave, the surrounding temperature kept rising at such a terrifying rate that ‘hot’ was no longer enough to describe it.

Suddenly, the jade amulet at his waist shone and sent a cold sensation to his mind.
