After finally helping Haising finalize his expansion strategy, Chen Feng returned to the Great Xia plane, preparing to continue his journey to the Permafrost Fortress.

After the three left the supply outpost, the ice manta ray's icy wing membranes regained their luminous pale blue glow, the energy patterns between its wing veins flowed smoothly, and the wind generated by its flapping wings swept up snowflakes, carrying a more steady force than when it arrived.

Soon, the few remaining traces around the supply station disappeared, leaving only rolling, frozen hills and endless plains in the landscape.

The ice-covered ground gleamed with a cold, jade-like luster under the sunlight of the illusory realm.

The ice cracks spread out like a silver spider web, faintly revealing a cold, bluish aura.

Chen Feng's gaze swept over the vast ice field to the side, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

At the TN71 base, he had seen the vast Beast Plains in the south, which was completely different from the desolation and vastness of this frozen land before him.

The wind here carries no bloody scent of the beasts' territory, but rather a biting chill and a faint, mysterious aura belonging to an unknown creature.

"Watch out for something unusual on the left, about three miles away," Xueyue Yanju suddenly said.

The three immediately stopped piloting the ice manta ray and focused their gaze on the ice field to their left.

It was a sloping ice slope, with a large patch of dark blue ice moss growing at the bottom, thickly covering the ground beneath the ice, like a velvet carpet laid on the cold jade.

On the tundra, a dozen enormous creatures were slowly moving.

It is the giant herbivorous beast of the ice plains—the yak.

[Name of the behemoth: Mao Niu]

[Biological characteristics: Thick, long hair grows on the joints of its limbs to protect it from the severe cold. It is the most common large, cold-resistant mammal in the northern snowfields and a symbolic creature of the icy environment.]

[Biological Habits: They live in groups of ten to seventy or eighty, led by the largest and most robust adult bull. They are omnivorous behemoths with exceptional senses, capable of predicting ice storms and avalanches, and are often regarded by mercenaries as "barometers of the ice plains."]

"Brother Chen Feng, this is the Mao Niu. Our Ice Mao Niu ancestors in the Wind and Snow Tribe were domesticated from them," Xue Yue Bing Li said with a smile.

Chen Feng nodded, but his expression grew increasingly serious.

After Wei Yang successfully advanced to the Heavenly Rank, Chen Feng's [Eye of Prophecy] also reached the Heavenly Rank. The hiding and disguise of all creatures below the Desolate Rank could not escape Chen Feng's eyes.

Right now, a tall, slender figure exuding a ferocious aura is lurking not far from the herd of yak, slowly approaching these massive beasts that are as tall as two-story buildings.

"There's another giant beast over there," Chen Feng said to Xiaoxue.

Following the direction of Chen Feng's finger, Xue Yue Bing Li and Xue Yue Yan Ju stared intently at the same time, and finally caught a glimpse of that outline that was almost integrated with the snow in a crevice of ice rock.

That wasn't the silver-gray of Snow Shadow Hyena; it was an almost pure, snow-white.

The texture of the hair can refract the sunlight of the illusory realm, and even the white breath exhaled can instantly disperse into fine snow mist, perfectly melting into the background of the icy plain.

If it weren't for Chen Feng's Eye of Foresight, which could directly lock onto all disguised enemies, even Xue Yueyanju, with her extensive reconnaissance experience, would have been able to detect them in time.

"It's Mengji!" Xueyue Bingli lowered her voice and said to Chen Feng, "The Snow Mountain Hidden Leopard is the top predator among giant beasts on the Ancient Ice Plains. They are extremely rare, but ten times more dangerous than the Snow Shadow Hyena herd."

The figure was tall and agile, with a shoulder height of nearly ten feet. It was several sizes larger than an ordinary leopard, and its body was covered with thick, snow-white fur. Several dark blue lines appeared on its forehead, like naturally engraved runes.

Beneath its snow-white fur, the muscles of its limbs are taut like a fully drawn bowstring of cold iron, and the tips of its claws slowly emerge from its thick, soft pads. Each step it takes is as light as a snowflake falling to the ground, without even crushing the thin frost on the ice.

It is using the shadow of the ice slope and the cover of the snow hills to slowly circle around to the side and rear of the herd of yaks.

To the side and behind, an old yak walked more slowly, its long hair at its joints covered with old ice shards, its luster dull, clearly indicating that it was old. It was now a dozen or so steps away from the herd, grazing on the moss of the ice plains.

They were completely unaware of the impending massacre.

Soon, the Mengji behemoth launched an attack.

The snow-white figure shot out like an ice arrow, covering a distance of dozens of feet in an instant, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air. Its claws, only an inch long, slammed into the old ox's hind leg joint with a sharp sound as they tore through the air!

puff! !

A deep, resounding sound rang out as Mengji's claws tore through the thick, long hair and tough flesh at the ox's joints. A large amount of deep red blood gushed out instantly, spreading into tiny blood flowers on the cold, jade-like ice surface.

The old ox immediately let out a muffled roar like a giant bell, and its hind legs crashed down, smashing two shallow craters into the ice.

The yaks were attacked, and the entire herd suddenly became chaotic.

The lead bull suddenly raised its head, spewing out two thick plumes of white mist from its nostrils. Its strong limbs slammed into the ground, and it turned around to charge at the old bull. The pair of curved horns on its head, shimmering with a pale blue light, carried immense force as it rammed into Mengji!

The force of that impact was enough to shatter the entire block of ice into dust!

However, Meng Ji had anticipated this.

Using the recoil from the slap, it quickly twisted its body, as light as a snowflake swept up by the wind, and once again distanced itself from the bull. Its vertical pupils, filled with cold killing intent, were fixed on the old bull.

The successful strike had rendered the old ox immobile. It no longer needed to contend with the leader; it only needed to wait for the herd to be forced to migrate due to their unease, then it could enjoy the spoils of its victory!

However, to the three's surprise, before the bull could even stand still...

Meng Ji clearly still had some strength left, and like a ghost, it circled around to its side, leaped several meters again, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit down hard on the side and rear of the ox!

bite--

A sharp, piercing sound rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

The bull's thick hide and the ice armor that instantly formed on its surface blocked this potentially fatal blow!

The bull suddenly swung its powerful hind legs, kicking directly at Meng Ji behind it. However, after successfully landing its first blow, Meng Ji twisted and flipped in mid-air, completely avoiding the heavy kick!

Blood stained its mouth, and its snow-white fur was splattered with specks of the old ox's crimson. A more ferocious light surged in its icy green vertical pupils.

This time, the bull was completely enraged.

It raised its head and let out a long roar that reverberated across the ice field. The pale blue ice energy around its body suddenly erupted, and the blue light on its two horns on its head instantly surged to its maximum. Then, it raised its front hooves and slammed them into the ground!

Boom—

Centered on it, countless sharp ice spikes instantly rose from the ice layer within a radius of tens of meters, like inverted blades, wildly stabbing out in all directions! Ice shards and cold air exploded one after another, forming an indiscriminate domain of ice spikes, rapidly approaching Mengji.

This is Mao Niu Tou Niu's most trump card for repelling the enemy.

However, for Mengji, it only serves as a deterrent.

The Mengji Beast reacted extremely quickly, leaping up almost the instant the energy fluctuations of the ice spikes rose. Its toes tapped the tips of the ice spikes repeatedly, dodging all of them like a ghost.

Just then, the outline of a snowstorm appeared faintly in the distance, and Mengji was also circling outside the attack range of the Maoniu Tou Niu, waiting for the best time to hunt.

Seeing this, Xiaoxue looked at Chen Feng and said, "Brother Chen Feng, we probably need to leave here quickly. In the blizzard, Mengji's threat will be amplified several times over. We don't need to take this risk for an old ox."

"Alright, let's continue on our way."
