510: Chapter 510: The Ice Demon Elder Reappears 510: Chapter 510: The Ice Demon Elder Reappears In less than a minute, Ye Xuan had sprinted down from the seventeenth floor and then dashed toward the underground parking at breakneck speed.
He flung the car door open, settled into the driver’s seat, and swiftly started the engine, driving out of the parking garage and onto the wide road.
Roar!
Ye Xuan stomped on the accelerator, unleashing a furious roar like that of a predatory beast.
Amidst the stares of the other cars, he shot off like a rocket,
racing toward the direction of Su Yumo’s psychic signal at breakneck speed!
…
On the expansive national highway, an off-road vehicle resembling a mighty war beast hurtled past like a high-speed train, whistling by and stirring a tornado-like strong gust of wind!
The off-road vehicle effortlessly overtook one car after another, pushing to its speed to the limit, long surpassing the speed limits.
Ye Xuan knew that he would face a hefty fine if traffic police caught his car, but he couldn’t care less at the mont!
Every second was precious.
His primary mission was to catch up to Su Yumo as soon as possible for her to have an extra layer of safety.
The relentless high-speed chase made the spiritual connection with that energy force gradually beco more vivid.
This also ant that he was drawing closer to Su Yumo and getting close to her current location!
By now, Ye Xuan’s emotions had begun to stabilize, and he pressed on, accelerating forward with determination.
After half an hour without slowing, Ye Xuan had pursued for hundreds of kiloters, eventually arriving at the western border of East Sea City.
This area was mountainous terrain.
Looking far and wide, it was surrounded by undulating mountain ranges without end in sight, where vehicles could hardly continue further.
And within Ye Xuan’s senses, Su Yumo was located in these very mountains!
“Su Yumo better be unhard, otherwise you’re just seeking your own death.”
Ye Xuan muttered through clenched teeth with a cold gaze.
He stopped the car and swiftly swung the door open to step out.
Whoosh!
The next second, he launched forward with a push of his feet, his body turning into a blur as he charged ahead and plunged into the vast mountain ranges.
While sensing the psychic connection, he began to search.
…
When Su Yumo woke up, she found the scene before her eyes had completely changed.
No longer was she in the familiar office, nor was Lin Tong by her side.
She was in a totally unfamiliar environnt.
Taking in her surroundings, she was in a dark and damp cave, filled with the putrid sll of rotting animal carcasses that was nauseating to sll!
There was so pooled water on the floor, and poisonous snakes and insects were slithering around her.
They were species of venomous creatures seldom seen, such as cobras, scorpions, and toads, as well as many other venomous snakes and insects she couldn’t na.
They looked ferocious and terrifying.
Su Yumo discovered that the environnt she was now in was like those realistic horror movie scenes.
It was terrifying and made her scalp tingle!
“Am I…
am I dreaming?”
Her face was pale and bloodless, her consciousness not fully awake yet, leading her to believe she was still dreaming.
Otherwise, how would she end up in such a horror-filled, eerie, and chilling place?
It was almost driving her to the brink of collapse!
Just then, a poisonous insect crawled onto her calf, and frightened, Su Yumo let out a piercing scream:
“Ahh!!!”
The shout actually revived her consciousness.
She frantically shook off the poisonous insects on her legs and curled up, looking at the poisonous snakes and insects crawling everywhere, her face filled with a terrified expression.
This wasn’t a dream at all, everything was real!
Her eyes filled with despair, and Su Yumo almost broke down at that mont.
A delicate girl, in such an environnt, would not be frightened—that would be the real oddity.
Even if it were a bold, burly man, he probably wouldn’t be much better off at this mont, likely scared enough to wet his pants!
“Keehee…
Little girl, are you awake?”
In the dark cave, an eerie, fluttering laugh echoed, sending chills down one’s spine.
Su Yumo’s hair stood on end, feeling like she’d encountered a ghost in a horror movie!
And now, the ‘ghost’ was right beside her.
Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head, mustering the courage and looking in the direction of the voice.
She saw an old man with withered skin and bony like kindling, holding a Snake Staff and walking towards her not far away.
The old man’s hunched back and pallid face were as horrifying as a zombie’s, and appearing in this sinister setting, it truly could scare soone to death!
However, Su Yumo wasn’t as scared, for although the old man’s face was terrifying, he seed much better compared to the venomous snakes and insects on the ground.
In any case, having finally seen a living person, Su Yumo felt slightly comforted inside.
“Who…
who are you?”
Su Yumo asked with a trembling voice, trying to be brave.
The old man’s zombie-like visage made her feel as if she was facing a fierce evil spirit, forcing herself not to look at his frightening face!
But if she didn’t look at the face, she had to look at the venomous snakes and insects on the ground…
Thus, Su Yumo’s pretty face turned even paler.
“My na is the Ice Demon Elder, little girl, we just t a few days ago.”
The Ice Demon Elder’s dry face displayed a sinister smile that looked uglier than crying and more terrifying.
He limped over with his Snake Staff, speaking in an extrely chilling tone, “At that ti, you had already passed out and were unaware of my arrival, but the boy with you, to protect you from being captured by , actually fought !
Unfortunately, I underestimated his strength and was forced to flee after he hit with a punch.”
“However, he also had a little trouble, trapped by my carefully bred poisonous snakes.
Although it wasn’t a threat to him, it was enough for to escape.
In the end, my snakes were almost completely annihilated, losing many years of my efforts.
I simply cannot let this grudge go…”
The Ice Demon Elder’s words shocked Su Yumo imnsely, not expecting that such things had happened while she was unconscious.
But why hadn’t Ye Xuan told her that he had saved her?
Was he afraid she would feel indebted to him again?
At that mont, Su Yumo felt a surge of gratitude!
Ye Xuan fought with the Ice Demon Elder to protect her, and she had been oblivious to the whole ordeal of the snake attack.
“Ye Xuan, thank you!
Even if it’s a bit late to say it now, I still want to express my gratitude to you.
If there’s a chance to see you again, I will definitely repay your kindness…”
Su Yumo silently said in her heart, a hint of tenderness flickering in her eyes.
Inside her, the unbreakable ice began to slowly lt!
However, she knew this wasn’t the ti to dwell on these thoughts, pushing aside various thoughts in her mind and trying to remain calm.
Suddenly, as if she had rembered sothing, she blurted out, “Were the snakes in the Company released by you?”
“It wasn’t , but it was pretty much my idea.
How else could I have lured him away and successfully captured you?”
The Ice Demon Elder’s voice was old and raspy as he sinisterly chuckled.
