233: Chapter 67: Snow Spirit You Ming (Part 1)_1 233: Chapter 67: Snow Spirit You Ming (Part 1)_1 Holding Yue Ming’s teardrop frozen into an ice pearl, Ming Xue suddenly floated forward, gently kissed Yue Ming’s forehead, then turned around, and placed a similar kiss on Ye Yinzhu’s forehead.
There was no tangible sensation, but a trace of icy tenderness remained, filled with blessing and intimacy.
Soaring into the air, Ming Xue cradled Yue Ming’s tear pearl as she headed into the Frosty Forest.
Invisibly, Yue Ming distinctly felt Ming Xue’s spiritual power drawing him along, urging him to keep pace with her.
After more than ten days of trekking, everyone finally arrived at their ultimate destination, which was also one of the most dangerous places on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
Ming Xue’s figure gently drifted ahead, her speed not too fast, allowing those following to easily keep up.
Upon entering the Frosty Forest, Ye Yinzhu took out the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither, placing it between himself and Haiyang atop the back of the Flame Beast; his legs firmly gripping the beast, one arm naturally wrapped around Haiyang’s slender waist, and the other hand resting on the zither strings.
Having reached the Seventh Rank Sword Spirit, Qinxin, his spiritual power was more sensitive than before, and despite the extreme cold within the forest, he faintly sensed a trace of blood in the air.
Sura followed closely beside Ye Yinzhu.
As an assassin, he did not need the support of Magical Beasts; the warmth emitted by the Flame Beast was enough for him.
Activating the Eternal Substitute Puppet, he appeared somewhat ethereal, his left hand gripping the Angel’s Sigh, while not releasing the silver coins, considering their newly-gained growth abilities were not yet suitable for use in such a place.
Ma Liang specifically summoned a Golden Crystal Rage Dragon.
He did not really expect the beast to be particularly effective, but rather used it as a reserve shield.
After all, the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon’s bodily defensive power was quite impressive.
Zi and An Qi walked at the forefront, with the two Golden Behemoths covering the rear, having boosted their defensive power to the strongest level.
As soon as they entered the Frosty Forest, the temperature dropped even further.
The piercing cold and freezing aura caused the few Flame Beasts to pletely collapse.
Without their emitted warmth, everyone instantly felt the bone-chilling cold.
Yue Ming, Chang Hao, Ma Liang, and Haiyang took the brunt of it, their plexions turning blue, their bodies uncontrollably beginning to shiver, their thick coats unable to fully ward off the chill.
“Stellar Chessboard,” Chang Hao uttered in a low shout, waving both hands simultaneously.
White and black, the chess pieces rose into the air, and under the fluctuations of pale golden Magic Power, they hovered, forming a strange pattern.
Each chess piece glowed faintly, creating a black-and-white light barrier that pletely enveloped everyone.
Yue Ming’s eyes brightened, “A mobile space matrix, you can actually cast such advanced magic?”
Chang Hao replied with a wry smile, “Let’s move quickly; my spiritual power can only sustain us for some time.
If I can’t uphold it, you’ll have to figure out a way.
This array also has the function of isolating us from the outside aura, which should help us conceal ourselves better as we enter the Frosty Forest.
This is the first time in my life I’ve ever felt this cold; it’s certainly no place for humans!”
With the help of the array, at least the cold wind was pletely blocked out.
The array acted like a separate space, enveloping everyone within it, ensuring that their own heat did not dissipate and did all possible to keep the cold at bay.
Ming Xue floated ahead, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding cold.
As a Specter Type Monster, temperature had a very limited effect on her.
As they moved forward, the wind and snow in their surroundings seemed to intensify.
Among the large snowflakes, clusters of not particularly strong spiritual fluctuations began to manifest in the air.
Yue Ming’s gaze narrowed, and he said in a low voice, “Be careful, it’s the Snow Souls.”
Ye Yinzhu looked carefully and saw amidst the snowstorm, clusters of white mist floating in the air, mostly staying in one spot.
Whenever the wind and snow approached them, they were instantly sucked into the mist and vanished without a trace.
Zi Shen spoke up, “It’s because of the presence of the Snow Souls that the Frosty Forest is so cold.
Although they are the lowest level creatures in the entire forest, only by being rank Four Magical Beasts, they are the true masters of the Frosty Forest.
The sheer number, almost covering every corner of the Frosty Forest, requires everyone to be very careful.
Don’t get entangled by a Snow Soul, and don’t initiate an attack.
Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to leave here alive.
Snow Souls might only have low-level intelligence, but they are incredibly vengeful; destroying one would immediately provoke a reaction from the entire Frosty Forest.”
Low-level intelligence, huh?
Hearing Zi’s words, Ye Yinzhu’s mind stirred slightly.
Looking around, the Snow Souls were numerous among the ice spikes.
If it were just one or two people, there might be a chance to dodge through their gaps, but with so many individuals, especially with Magical Beasts as large as the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon, evasion alone was unrealistic.
Turning his head, White Snow instructed Sura to protect the mages.
Then, he gracefully ascended and landed directly on the back of the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon.
“Ma Liang, you mand the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon to pave the way, but move slower.
Zi, you and An Qi go to the back as well—I think I have a way to make these Snow Souls give us passage.”
Zi knew that Ye Yinzhu never exaggerated anything, gave a nod, and, with An Qi, who had been somewhat excited since they’d entered the Frosty Forest, moved behind the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon to gather with the others.
Ye Yinzhu sat cross-legged on the ample back of the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon and after pondering for a moment, swapped the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither for the Spring Thunder Zither.
If direct confrontation wasn’t an option, the only choice left was to integrate.
This was something Ye Yinzhu had e to understand only after returning from the Dragon Domain.
With a light pluck of eight fingers, the crisp zither music began to sound quietly, a departure from the usual low humming of his music.
Its cheerful rhythm was like elves dancing, and circles of dark yellow Zither Magic fluctuations quietly diffused.
The spiritual power he infused was not very strong; the sound of the zither began to fade after reaching a radius of about thirty meters.
Ye Yinzhu’s panions, to the influence of the Zither Magic, found their originally tense moods suddenly soothed.
Their bodies felt as if they had bee lighter, especially their spirits, which brought an exhilarating uplift that swept away the hardships of traveling on a mental level.
Something magical happened.
As the zither music played, the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon advanced slowly.
Wherever the dark yellow Zither Magic Power reached, the Snow Souls floating in the air naturally dispersed.
The sound of the wind bined harmoniously with the zither music, and the ice fog seemed to dance around them.
It acted as a guard not only parting on its own but also accelerating the absorption of the wind and snow in the air, greatly reducing the obstructed view and the cold the group had to endure.
Haiyang watched the white figure sitting straight on the back of the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon, observing his black hair hanging quietly behind him, her eyes filled with a much softer admiration.
By her side, Sura’s gaze also softened, staring blankly at Ye Yinzhu, his grip on the Angel’s Sigh loosening.
Ma Liang widened his eyes, mumbling, “Could it be that the ‘divine’ in Divine Music Master means ‘miraculous’?
It actually works like this?
This is the first time I’ve heard of driving away Magical Beasts in this manner.”
While maintaining his Array, Chang Hao whispered to Ma Liang, “Yinzhu’s zither music seems to have a special Magic Power effect on Magical Beasts, especially those that are not naturally aggressive.
Have you forgotten those two bugs?
They also became docile within his zither music.
No wonder the Zither Sect always ranks first among the Four Magic Sects—I’m thoroughly convinced now.”
The gentle and melodious zither music of “White Snow”, with its essence mimicking the free-flying snowflakes in the sky, embodied the true essence of the piece with its light and free spirit.
Ye Yinzhu didn’t need to unleash the full power of the zither music, just the essence of the piece, to let the Snow Souls sense his goodwill and recognize that he was not that different from them.
The effect was better than expected.
Through the connection with the Zither Magic Power, he could clearly feel the Snow Souls in the air develop an affinity towards him.
They no longer blocked their path and instead spontaneously formed a protective escort, leading them forward.
Hearing the zither music, Ming Xue also naturally floated not far above Ye Yinzhu’s head, progressing while occasionally looking back at him, her previously eager gaze being pletely softened.
With the reduced cold threat accelerating their progress, Ye Yinzhu, who had reached Seventh Rank Sword Spirit, Qinxin, could sustain the continuous playing of the zither piece.
The spiritual power he gained from playing even exceeded what was consumed, so it was not a burden at all.
Only his hands felt a bit cold, requiring the support of Zhu Douqi to maintain a good blood circulation.
Half a day passed quickly.
Due to the cold environment, everyone’s body heat was depleting rapidly.
Whether it was because of being surrounded by a large number of Snow Souls or not, they had not encountered any Magical Beasts over this half-day period.
After eating some Monster Meat that had been prepared before entering the Frosty Forest, the group set off again.
Yue Ming told everyone that according to the Spiritual Fluctuations of Ming Xue and the map her grandfather had drawn, they were now not far from the habitat of the Snow Spirit You Ming.
The deepest place her grandfather had entered was the territory of Snow Spirit You Ming.
As they continued their journey, Ye Yinzhu suddenly realized that even if he stopped playing the zither music, the Snow Souls would not block their path or attack them.
More of the Snow Spirit You Mings gathered in the sky, making everything around them foggy and indescribably weird.
However, he continued to play “White Snow,” not for any other reason but because befriending these rank Four Snow Souls was worthwhile, especially in a place as dangerous as the Frosty Forest where no risks could be taken.
