27 Fine Archery (1/2)

”What the hell is with this place!? It is too cold.”

”I know, when I went to look around earlier the whole place was covered with frost as far as the eye can see, and till now I am still unable to find anything in this Tundra.”

”Let's just go already nothing in this place is of any value… we can't stay here for any longer I feel my meridians freezing and I might freeze to death if I don't leave this place any time soon.”

A pair of a male and a female cultivator hurriedly left to find an exit to this tundra-like place. With the ground frozen and no trees or any sign living thing present for a 5 kilometers radius this place was truly like a tundra, a frozen hell.

With the ground frozen and everything around was white Wang Xue sat on top of a hill as if the freezing winds were nothing to him Wang Xue kept his eyes tight shut and continued meditating. His spirit energy wraps around his whole body as if it was some kind of thin layer of a sheet that protected him from the biting cold of this tundra.

Wang Xue slowly opened his eyes and a cold light shot out from them, his eyes reflected a deep hue of blue which slowly started to disappear at this very moment, the spirit energy surrounding him was changing a shadow was silently looming over his head, non-moving like him.

”How are you feeling?” saying this, Wang Xue slowly raised his head and took one look at the shadow atop his head, the shadow seemed ethereal and its body was translucent and could almost see through its body, even so, one can still make out its silhouette for some four-legged animal that's still in its early stages of life.

The hazy image of the four-legged animal moved a bit showing that it was fine, as it does this motion an almost inaudible voice entered Wang Xue's ears, ”good---but---not---enough.” It was weak and the voice was stuttering, however, it still manages to complain.

Wang Xue smiled thinking how Fenrir was somehow able to absorb some of the frosts in this place. When he entered this place Wang Xue wanted to start wandering around in order to find some treasure hidden around the area, however when he was about to do so the cold spirit energy was suddenly sucked into his body and went directly to his Jing and Mai where his Spirit Lakes were located.

Seeing this happen Wang Xue was overjoyed that was because Fenrir was actually able to absorb the almost frozen spirit energy in their surroundings… and now after two hours of cultivation and meditating Fenrir was finally able to show a translucent silhouette and slightly come out of his Spirit Lake.

”Can you sustain this form?” Wang Xue asks.

Fenrir did not answer quickly, feeling out the spirit energy that had been stored inside his body Fenrir said, ”No---I---still----can't---this---is---only---temporary.”

Fenrir's voice had clear disappointment mixed in them, his current translucent body I was only obtained through the aid of the spirit energy around this frozen realm and it didn't directly come from Wang Xue himself.

”At least be thankful that you can come out for a while, so will you continue to hang around with me here or will you go back to the Spirit Lake.” As Wang Xue asks Fenrir he checked the spirit energy surrounding him and made sure that Fenrir had stop absorbing.

'Must have reached his limits already… this glutton actually has a limit.' He thought as he started standing up, as he stood on top of that mountain Wang Xue's body was covered with, his bamboo hat was currently inside his storage ring showing his face to the world.

”No---I---will---stay---for---a---while---the---dragon----there---is---such---a---bore.” He said as he descended above Wang Xue's head and rested on his shoulder. Keeping his silence Fenrir lay down on Wang Xue's shoulder and relaxed.

Wang Xue did not argue with him any longer for he also knew just how much the Dragon Dwelling Pagoda shows its indifference to anything unrelated to its own growth and progress. Wang Xue leaped down from the mountain and started to descend the snowy mountain that he was currently in.

As he went down Wang Xue looked around and still did not found any demonic beasts nor did he found any spirit entity lying on the ground or wandering around the place. He quickly went down and started heading north.

Wang Xue did not know what this place was and he didn't have any kind of treasure that may show him the way, the only thing that he can do now was to wander in this place. The frozen realm had an abundance of frost spirit energy good for those whose Martial Spirit have any affinity to a frost or anyone who practiced a Martial Skill that has any connection with frost.

Wang Xue have Fenrir however he is still too weak at the moment and the only that he can actually do was to store some spirit energy for himself and if Wang Xue tried to cultivate with him like this Wang Xue's meridians have a high chance of becoming frozen and for frost type Martial Skill Wang Xue didn't have such things if he didn't have Fenrir to provide him with the frost.

Moving with fast speed Wang Xue continued to see nothing but a sheet of snow and ice over the horizon, and even though there was a sun over his head it didn't give him any kind of warmth to him at all but he was thankful enough that guides his path.

Moving forward for a solid hour Wang Xue finally saw something showing over the horizon, as he got closer to the forest he saw something on the very edge of the white forest… a statue of a serpentine being that towers for over 10 meters in height.

Wang Xue stopped in front of the serpentine statue and started checking it out, as he was observing it Wang Xue noticed some kind of writing in the lower parts of the statue, in the place where its tail was touching different lines were written.
