"I advise you to abandon the idea of capturing the Snow Demon." Ayden Ac surprisingly showed great reason, advising Yusuf Zuck against targeting the Snow Demon.
"Why? Don’t you want to capture the Snow Demon? You know, your cultivation level is only at the Eternal Life First Level, two stages below mine. Aren’t you in a hurry?" Yusuf Zuck was utterly curious. Ayden Ac seed indifferent despite possessing the Causal Creation Pill, with his cultivation stuck at the Eternal Life First Level as if he had no urgency to train. Sotis Yusuf Zuck really couldn’t understand what Ayden Ac was thinking.
"No matter how urgent it is, you can’t touch the Snow Demon!" Ayden Ac shook his head and said.
"Are you really that superstitious?"
"I harbor deep respect for the unknown," Ayden Ac spoke with firm resolve.
"Alright, alright, then I won’t capture the Snow Demon. But I can still go up the mountain and watch, right?"
"It’s best not even to watch." Ayden Ac replied with a bitter smile: "Such demons are like curses, truly ominous."
"I’m just going to see what’s happening; you can drink here. I’m leaving." Yusuf Zuck said and strode out of the room.
Ayden Ac actually remained still, drinking cup after cup.
Outside the inn, wind and snow cut Yusuf Zuck’s face like knives, painfully sharp, and the night seed incredibly cold. Despite his high cultivation level and the flas within, he sohow couldn’t resist this chill.
This was a cold that pierced through bone, heart, and soul. The surface cold was secondary; the main chill was of the heart and soul.
Yusuf Zuck was very curious about why this was happening and why the weather in Patrick Ruiz’s domain was like this.
He wrapped himself in clothes, pondered for a mont, and casually picked up a sword from the pile of Magic Treasures belonging to a girl, heading up the mountain with it.
The snow on the mountain was thick, but perhaps due to frequent visitors, a small path had already been trampled. He followed it into the mountain and soon encountered an endless dense forest, where the wind and snow blew so fiercely, it was hard to keep his eyes open.
After walking for two hours, he had fully entered the mountain’s depths, probably over a thousand miles away from the small town.
Then he saw a few people.
Indeed, right under the snow to his left front, there were a few people hiding. Their breathing was steady, as if in deep concealnt, and Yusuf Zuck cheerfully leaped onto a tree. Though these people hid deeply, without even showing their faces, his Eye of Insight saw everything clearly.
After jumping onto the tree, he used his Eye of Insight to observe the surroundings, discovering that all thirty-sothing people were there, encircling the valley ahead, except the mouth of the valley was unguarded.
"The valley mouth ahead must be the Snow Demon’s only path, right? Once the Snow Demon exits the valley, it will enter their encirclent. They can then close off the valley mouth, leaving the Snow Demon nowhere to escape." Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. He wondered where the valley led, and if the Snow Demon would appear?
Moreover, it was clear that the thirty-two people at the inn had ford an alliance.
"Scritch," just as Yusuf Zuck used his Eye of Insight to look deeper into the valley mouth, suddenly a head silently erged from the snow directly ahead. The figure moved like a stealthy cat and jumped onto the tree Yusuf Zuck was on.
"Hush, hush, don’t speak. The Snow Demon is about to co out!" That person said nervously, persistently winking at Yusuf Zuck.
Yusuf Zuck covered his mouth while the person transmitted, annoyed: "Not coming before, but choosing now. You almost ruined our plans!"
They recognized Yusuf Zuck from the inn.
"Sorry, sorry, I just ca to try my luck, didn’t expect to bump into you." Yusuf Zuck bowed repeatedly in apology.
"Let tell you, that Snow Demon is extrely difficult to catch. Since the two Snow Demons appeared months ago, over a thousand people have died, leaving behind bones under the snow. So, if you want to live and catch the Snow Demon, and taste the Snow Demon’s flesh, join us. Otherwise, don’t bla for not warning you!"
"A thousand died?" Yusuf Zuck was shocked and almost shouted.
"What do you think? Even three at the Eternal Life Eighth Level died, many others too!"
"Yet you still try to catch it? You’re only at the Eternal Life Fourth Stage!" Yusuf Zuck asked in surprise.
"Heh, we have experts at the Eternal Life Ninth Layer among us. We’ve set up formations and barriers. When the Snow Demon appears, it will enter the barrier, and we have many ways to kill both Snow Demons!"
"Wow, there’s even soone at the Eternal Life Ninth Layer?" Yusuf Zuck hadn’t noticed the thirty-two people very well before; he truly didn’t know one of them was at the Eternal Life Ninth Layer.
"Enough chit-chat. If you want to fight alone, retreat thirty miles but don’t climb the trees. If you want to join us, bury yourself here; the Snow Demon will spot you on the tree."
"Alright, alright, count in with you." Hearing that even three from the Eternal Life Eighth Level had died, Yusuf Zuck dared not be careless. He imdiately followed the person down the tree and burrowed into the snow.
Seven or eight minutes after the two buried themselves, suddenly from the valley mouth ca a ’woo-woo’ sound, like windy tubes.
"Here it cos." The person was nervous yet excited, fully tense.
Yusuf Zuck stared hard at the valley mouth, soon seeing a specter... YES, a specter... like the white-clad ghost in horror films. The specter floated, all snow-white, without feet, but with long hair completely covering its face.
"Damn, this is a ghost?" Yusuf Zuck was utterly shocked. The Snow Demon looked like a ghost!
"Why is there only one?" Yusuf Zuck looked towards the valley’s back but saw no second. The first one ca out and lingered in the valley, seemingly doing nothing.
The thirty-two others were anxious and tense. They wanted to capture two Snow Demons, but only one appeared, a deviation from their plan.
The Snow Demon lingered at the valley mouth for a mont, then slowly moved forward, not fast, drifting several ters before extending a long tongue into the snow!
Precisely, the Snow Demon had a tongue longer than its body—red and frightening when unfurled!
Yusuf Zuck’s scalp tingled. Was this a long-tongued ghost or a Snow Demon? What was it eating?
Snow beneath seed to contain sothing. The Snow Demon paused and continuously used its tongue to roll up sothing from the snow and consu it.
"What is it eating?" Yusuf Zuck asked softly.
"Red soil," the person explained: "The valley floor contains red soil, a salty, dicinal mineral that boosts the life force of cultivators."
"I see," Yusuf Zuck nodded.
"Take action!" Suddenly, a few people ambushed at the valley mouth leapt from the snow, deciding not to wait for the second demon, aiming to capture the one before them!
As those few sprang up, all others followed suit, and before the Snow Demon could react, the thirty-two people simultaneously crushed prepared talismans in hand!
"Voosh~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~" Formation activated, barrier ford, in an instant enveloping the Snow Demon within.
