“Fossils, fossils…” The winds of Antarctica seemed never to rest, continuously sweeping the snow into the distance.

Shao Zifeng knelt in the snow, scraping at the mountain’s snow-covered surface with his ice axe, revealing various rocks beneath.

Due to limited options, Shao Zifeng had been worried about what gift to give Qiuqiu until he remembered, after yesterday’s conversation with Yang Qi about ammonites, that this place had been an ocean many years ago.

The ocean must have housed giant creatures like Megalodons and Plesiosaurs, right?

When they encountered each other, they must have fought.

And in the heat of battle, teeth might have been knocked out.

Such hard teeth must have turned into fossils, right?

The gift was settled then.

Perfect.

Although it was a perfect thought, after more than an hour of searching, not to mention fossilized teeth, he hadn’t even seen a sharply pointed rock.

Standing up, he rubbed his back and shouted to the other side, “Little Deer, Big Cat, did you find anything?”

“Yo~”

Little Deer first peeked its small head from behind a rock, and once it confirmed that Shao Zifeng was calling it, it slowly walked out from behind the stone.

With each step it took, its milky white body sprinkled blue starlight.

Its star-blue eyes watched Shao Zifeng, several wispy tendrils each coiling around a rock.

After examining the rocks it had picked up, Little Deer extended the tendrils toward Shao Zifeng, looking at him expectantly.

Staring at the rocks in front of him, Shao Zifeng scrutinized them with a furrowed brow.

He tapped them with his ice axe, and the rocks gave off a crisp sound.

Shao Zifeng nodded to himself.

Just as thoughtful as always, Little Deer-chan.

Its eye for selecting fossils could compete with the Fossil King Shao himself.

Oddly shaped rocks.

Rocks with strange patterns.

And rocks that could be Qiuqiu’s half-siblings.

They looked exactly like the ones he had found the day before.

Shao Zifeng wanted to say no, but under the expectant gaze of the little guy, he reluctantly nodded, “Little Deer is amazing, truly worthy of you.”

“Yo~”

Pleased by the compliment, Little Deer happily squinted its eyes and carefully arranged the rocks in front of Shao Zifeng, rubbing its tiny antlers against his chest.

Shao Zifeng sighed silently and rubbed it a bit, but it seemed that he couldn’t rely on Little Deer anymore, so he turned his gaze to another rock.

A thick, furry tail hung limp and shook in the cold wind.

“Big Cat, what about you?”

Hearing Shao Zifeng’s voice, the tail immediately stiffened.

“Mao!”

The lynx reluctantly turned around, its hoarse and unpleasant cry ringing out as it dragged its head, listlessly kicking at a few small stones with its thick paws.

Its paws recoiled after each touch, as if the stones would burn it.

The lynx was in low spirits. From a young age, it had been homeless and starving until it met Shao Zifeng, believing it had found a home.

Though accustomed to the wild, it tried to suppress its wild nature and accept Shao Zifeng as its master.

Admittedly, the presence of several big shots around him played a tiny role too.

But mainly, it was the irresistible allure of the ring that kept it hooked.

It had lived this way for over half a year, but a few days ago, its life had changed; it had helplessly watched its “home” getting taken over by others, yet there was nothing it could do.

Recalling the days since being driven out of “home”, Qiuqiu felt a sourness in its nose.

First, it was the extreme cold, and then it was dragged by a boss into a volcano where it experienced extreme heat. The key issue was that the boss treated it like a new toy and wouldn’t allow it to leave.

However, upon seeing the one in the magma pool, Qiuqiu thought serving as a pillow for the boss wasn’t too bad; at least it wouldn’t get burned to death.

Laster, when the boss suddenly disappeared, it desperately fled the volcano, running across the scorching desert to the forest.

Enjoying the fresh, fragrant air under the shade of the trees, and the sweet smell of herbs and plants, Qiuqiu felt quite content here.

Just as it thought it could start a new life here and was feeling happy, it couldn’t help but transform into a Ghost Body. Then, its nightmare began.

Suddenly, a fairy-like boss claimed it was tainted by demons and impure, and that she had to cleanse all the impurities and sins of the world herself.

Recalling the lashings, Qiuqiu couldn’t help but shudder all over.

Later, its master summoned it back.

Having returned to this snowy world, the big cat wanted to implore its master to let it return “home” as it had done previously.

But seeing the deer boss alongside its master, Qiuqiu’s heart completely cooled.

“What did you pick up here?”

Looking at the few stones in front of him, smaller than his thumb, and the big cat crouching dejectedly in front of him.

Shao Zifeng was both annoyed and amused.

This lazy coward.

“Mao~”

A harsh, unpleasant sound emerged, the big cat, Qiuqiu glanced vaguely at the Deceiver’s Ring on his finger, its intentions quite obvious.

“Don’t even think about it, if I let that out, it’ll suck you dry in minutes.”

“Meow!!”

Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu immediately perked up. Though it couldn’t defeat several bosses, it wasn’t scared of that dark mist! Impossible! With a flick, several sharp claws shot out, and the big cat Qiuqiu extended its rough tongue for a lick, a fierce gleam flashing in its eyes.

The vengeance for taking its “home” was an irreconcilable one!

Slap!

A vine lashed onto its head, and the previously arrogant big cat immediately cowered.

It glanced at the little deer, feeling more aggrieved as it thought about it, and couldn’t help but lie down in the snow, burying its big face between its paws.

The black tufts on its ears slightly trembled in the cold wind.

Seeing it like this, Shao Zifeng felt helpless. Although a Mutant creature like this couldn’t be contracted, even though Qiuqiu and the others could pull it into a pet space, the pet space wouldn’t create an environment suitable for its survival.

His gaze flickered. Having “Miser” Jack now, a three-star quality Qiuqiu had little use for him.

Moreover, aside from being able to transform into a Ghost Body, this mutant evolution of Qiuqiu was merely a common creature, and keeping it was akin to carrying an extra burden.

For a moment, Shao Zifeng thought about driving it away outright.

Sensing something, the big cat Qiuqiu immediately raised its head, its dull yellow eyes looking pitifully at him.

After much hesitation, Shao Zifeng finally sighed.

Having kept it in the ring for so long, to say there was no attachment would be impossible.

Forget it, just keep it for now.

He had the little deer send Qiuqiu back to the pet space, and Shao Zifeng looked up at the mountain peak.

The two little ones were unreliable, he still had to rely on himself, the king of fossils! He then continued climbing with his pickaxe.

Not far up, there was a depression, and he planned to go there to check it out.

“Little deer, be careful too.”

“Yo~” As the altitude increased, so did the wind. Dressed in a bulky protective suit and climbing against the cold wind was very taxing for him.

The little deer hopped up to the platform and then turned around to wrap Shao Zifeng with its vines.

Crack!

The pickaxe got stuck in a rock, Shao Zifeng grasped the mountaineering ax firmly and kicked down with his foot, the other hand clinging to the platform.

“Yo~”

“I’ve finally made it up,” Shao Zifeng lay on the indented snowy platform, gasping for air.

After resting for a while, he regained some strength and began searching with his climbing pick.

As the temperature near the summit was lower, the rocks were tightly frozen onto the mountain. It took Shao Zifeng a great effort to knock one loose with his climbing pick.

Hmm.

Looking at the cleanly broken rock.

From his expert eye as a fossil hunter, this was not a fossil.

Thud!

At that moment, the climbing pick touched something, and a dull sound ensued.

Unlike the crisp sound of the rocks, this sound was muffled, and the feel was light.

The sudden appearance of the foreign object caught Shao Zifeng’s attention; he dropped the rock and began swiftly digging through the snow with his climbing pick.

Ice chips flew everywhere, and soon part of a bone from an unknown animal was exposed before him.

This bone, as thick as his forearm, was covered in bite marks and still had strands of black-red flesh on it.

Shao Zifeng paused, then dug deeper a few more times.

More bones were exposed, layer upon layer buried who knew how deep, along with some feces and grayish-white fur that also looked very fresh.

He looked up at the platform on this mountain, the more he observed, the more it seemed off.

This shape–it seemed to be some animal’s nest.

…

“Awoo~”

Inside Chen Yixin’s tent, a wholly cream-colored little saber-toothed tiger with messy fur let out a kitten-like ferocious roar.

It had its eyes tightly shut, and its mouth agape, curling its delicate, tiny tongue.

If one looked closely, they could see faint energy fluctuations surrounding its body, pale blue ice elemental particles emerging amidst its fur, mingled with metallic-colored elemental particles.

Under manipulation, these elements quickly gathered but exploded just as they were about to take shape.

Boom!

A blast of chilling energy spread out, a semi-transparent energy shield appearing on Chen Yixin’s body.

But the other objects inside the tent were not so lucky; the sheets of paper from her work rustled loudly.

The little ball of fur-like Ice Plateau saber-toothed tiger collapsed into the sleeping bag, panting heavily.

“Professor!”

“I’m fine, don’t come in,”

Chen Yixin replied offhandedly, murmuring as she stared at the Ice Plateau saber-toothed tiger on the sleeping bag, “Still not working, huh.”

Observing the recorded energy wavelengths, her expression bore some disappointment.

Since she was in the tent, Chen Yixin was only wearing a set of pink thermal underwear and had slip-on pink rabbit slippers on her feet.

Her normally unmanaged chestnut curly hair was increasingly disheveled, the roots of her black hair becoming more noticeable.

Pushing her small glasses up, Chen Yixin scratched her head with a pen as she carefully compared the energy wavelengths of the two elements released by the Ice Plateau saber-toothed tiger during its skill activation.

“Aow~”

At this time, the Ice Plateau saber-toothed tiger regained some strength, shakily stood up, and ran towards Chen Yixin, rubbing its little head against her legs.

Chen Yixin paused with her pen, putting down the notebook she was holding.

“Hungry?”

She bent down to embrace the little ball of fur in her arms, tugging at its cheeks.

“Aow aow~”

The Ice Plateau saber-toothed tiger opened its mouth to bite Chen Yixin’s fingers but couldn’t manage to, finally reaching out with its little paws in frustration.

After playing with the Ice Plateau saber-toothed tiger for a while, Chen Yixin checked the time; it was already seven in the morning.

She prepared milk for the Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger and then began to tidy up the cluttered desk.

She had stayed up late into the night again yesterday and planned to spend another day here today.

One reason was that there were still several peaks to survey, and another was her interest in the creature that followed Shao Zifeng.

A creature resembling a dinosaur in Antarctica would definitely be shocking big news if confirmed.

Even the saber-toothed tiger she had resurrected, which appeared on Earth just over three million years ago, was much younger than the ancient saber-toothed tiger, which first appeared around thirty-five million years ago.

However, dinosaurs had been extinct for sixty-five million years.

Although she did not know how they had managed to survive till now, it undoubtedly made Chen Yixin even more excited about this continent.

After washing up, Chen Yixin changed into her protective suit and packed her pink rabbit shoes at the bottom of her suitcase. Only then did she carry the little saber-toothed tiger out of the tent.

“Professor!”

The two soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the tent saluted.

Today’s cold wind seemed much stronger, sweeping up the snow, and making it hard to see clearly even ten meters away.

Chen Yixin nodded, “Go rest.”

“Yes!”

With Chen Yixin’s arrival, the campsite grew busy.

Yang Qi and his two colleagues were chipping ice to melt for water, preparing for breakfast.

The Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger, having spent its whole life in a laboratory, stared at the icy world with wide blue eyes.

It felt a familiarity, as if something in its blood was calling to it.

“Go play, but don’t wander too far,” Chen Yixin placed the Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger down, and the little fellow shivered when its tender paws touched the snow.

Cautiously sniffing the snow, the Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger let out a cheer and then joyfully rolled around in the snow.

“Professor, you’re here.”

“Yes,” Chen Yixin nodded slightly, looked around, and then asked, “Where’s Zifeng, hasn’t he gotten up yet?”

“Probably, we didn’t see Junior Zifeng after we got up.”

Chen Yixin nodded and said no more.

Hearing their conversation, Haiyuan wanted to speak but stopped himself.

In his opinion, Shao Zifeng had been gone for so long, any personal issues should have been resolved by now.

But it was not appropriate to speak bluntly, so he kept it to himself.

“Meow meow meow!”

Just then, cries from Qiuqiu came from outside Shao Zifeng’s tent; it had woken up and, not seeing Dandan, had tidied its sleeping bag and prepared to go out to look for him.

But once out, it found that Dandan wasn’t outside either! The little guy became anxious immediately, its body surged with fire elemental particles, and a pair of flame wings unfolded behind its back as it flew around the camp searching for Shao Zifeng.

Chen Yixin was taken aback and quickly asked, “Who was on guard tonight?”

“Report, it was Tong Hao and Haiyuan.”

Sensing Chen Yixin’s gaze, Tong Hao quickly waved his hand, “I didn’t see him.”

All eyes instantly fell on Haiyuan.

Haiyuan, seeing the situation, carefully said, “Brother Zifeng left around three in the morning…”

Boom!

A trail of red light rushed toward Haiyuan, and Qiuqiu, enveloped in flames, flew in front of Haiyuan, its golden-red eyes staring intently at him.

“Well,” Haiyuan swallowed, “he said he was going to look for something, suddenly”

Before he could finish speaking, the figures of a man and a deer appeared through the snow.

Shao Zifeng, carrying several bones, hurried over.

Bang! Throwing the bones onto the snowy ground, they produced a spray of snowflakes.

His voice serious, he said, “We need to leave immediately, it’s not very safe here.”
