C4 (1/2)
The next day, just as dawn broke, Yun Yi came out from the stone hut.
After breakfast, as usual, he passed by the manor's training field and headed to the back mountain.
On the training grounds, Yun Chao was extremely pleased with himself today. A few Yun Family youths who were surrounding him could not help but mutter once more as they stared at Yun Yi's retreating back, ”Why does this weirdo still go to the back of the mountain every day? The back of the mountain is desolate, and I don't even know what's so good about it.”
”Hehe, in my opinion, it's because the back of the mountain is desolate that he chose to go to the back of the mountain.” Hehe, in my opinion, it's because of the rear mountain that he chose to go to the back of the mountain.
”Hahahaha, that makes sense.”
Hearing the jeers from his comrades, Yun Chao caressed the Mysterious Ice Sword in his hands and sneered: ”A mediocre person will always be a mediocre person.”
The snow had sealed off the mountains, and the cold wind was bone-chilling. In this winter, many areas of the Luna Mountain Range were covered with snow, preventing entry.
It was also because of this that there were many ferocious beasts in the deep mountains among the Moonlight Forest in winter.
Not only the Yun Village, but many clans and forces would head to the Luna Mountain Range s to hunt during the winter as well.
Yun Yi walked alone along the winding mountain road for about six hours before he finally arrived at the entrance of the Moonlight Forest.
The towering ancient trees were about the size of three people's arms. Hundreds and thousands of huge ancient trees were piled up together. Silver white frost hung down from the crystalline icicles. It was as dense as coral at the bottom of the sea, forming a magnificent frost scene.
”Screech!”
Just as he stopped to follow, he saw a huge black bird soar into the sky from the Moonlight Forest. It soared up quickly and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Yun Yi took in a deep breath. What Patriarch Grandpa said yesterday was right, there were indeed many fierce beasts in Moonlight Forest. With his current cultivation, if he wanted to charge in, he would not be able to do so.
”Seems like I can only watch from the vicinity of Moonlight Forest and try my luck.”
Muttering to himself, Yun Yi carefully stepped into the forest.
The cold wind assaulted them and brushed against the icicles on the tree, causing them to emit crisp tinkling sounds.
Yun Yi watched carefully in every direction, not daring to be the least bit careless. After about a hundred steps, he suddenly heard a ”quack” sound coming from the underbrush in the forest.
Yun Yi immediately jumped onto the tree, and agilely landed on the branch of a large tree. He looked over and saw a snow-white frog in a pile of grass, slowly jumping about.
This kind of frog is called Icefoot, it's the Luna Mountain Range's unique basic magical beast. Adult Icefoot also had a crystal core, but its grade was too low. They would not normally be hunted, and they did not have any offensive abilities.
Seeing the appearance of the Icefoot, a hint of a smile surfaced on Yun Yi's face.
Although Icefoot s were the lowest ranked beasts and did not have any offensive power, for some beasts with the cold attribute and a higher rank, Icefoot s were rare foods.
”Caw Caw!”
Although the Icefoot was jumping very slowly, it was jumping very high, hunting all kinds of strange insects in the grass.
Yun Yi planned to follow it. With such a natural bait, there was no need to waste it. As long as he followed it, if he was lucky, he would be able to catch a high ranked magical beast.
He waited for more than four hours after that. Suddenly, the grass on the forest floor rustled.
The sound was urgent, as if something was pouncing towards them.
Yun Yi squatted on a branch and looked far ahead. He noticed a pair of dark eyes hiding in a dense patch of grass, staring dead straight at the Icefoot five meters away.
Through the leaves, Yun Yi realised that it was a poisonous snake with an azure body and dark red spots growing faintly on its head. At that moment, it was spitting out its bright red tongue, staring at the Icefoot for a few seconds. Then, it suddenly flew out from the bush, and bit down on the Icefoot with its venomous teeth.
”Caw Caw!”
