My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 390 - Chapter 390 Chapter 389 Discovery

Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Discovery Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Discovery On the vast and boundless ice plain, the dry and cold wind ravaged the land.

The pure white snow plain sprinkled mist-like snow dust in the wind, forming a thin layer of haze hugging the ground.

Boom!

The all-terrain snow vehicles broke through the haze with a roar, one after another passing by.

Shao Zifeng wiped the snow dust off his helmet visor with his hand, feeling waves of dizziness in his mind that made his body feel somewhat weightless.

He knew his spiritual power was somewhat overextended.

During the journey, Shao Zifeng had kept his empathy ability active to ensure safety.

Even though he could sense hostility from any creatures without activating empathy, he chose to control his perception within a ten-meter range in front of him. This way, if any mutant creatures were sleeping under the snow, he could avoid them in advance.

“Ying ying!”

Qiuqiu’s lower half was tucked into its protective clothing, its little head poking into the helmet, murmuring something with “ying ying ying”.

Shao Zifeng rubbed Qiuqiu’s little head with his chin and looked down at the watch Chen Yixin had given him, which clearly displayed the route and their current location.

“Just hold on a little longer, and then we can rest…”

Mustering courage silently within himself, Shao Zifeng turned the handlebars, and the all-terrain snow vehicle growled beneath him, the snow on both sides of the tires being thrown up like waves.

“Crack!”

At that moment, two Fire Phoenix Pheasants in the air, tasked with scouting, suddenly started circling, flying intersecting paths, forming a figure-eight under the dark brooding clouds.

Sizzle–

“There’s something up ahead, slow down. Tong Hao, Ma Kai, you two go check it out first.”

“Yes!”

After the concise order was given through the earpieces, two all-terrain snow vehicles quickly broke away from the convoy, racing towards the direction of the Fire Phoenix Pheasants.

Shao Zifeng stopped his all-terrain snow vehicle and, after getting off, his body nearly collapsed. He quickly grabbed onto the vehicle, shaking his head slightly.

“Ying!”

Seeing this, Qiuqiu hurriedly crawled out from Shao Zifeng’s protective clothing and stood on the seat, using its two little paws to support Shao Zifeng’s body.

Although it was very uncomfortable with the low temperature here, it still clenched its teeth and persisted.

Seeing Qiuqiu like this warmed Shao Zifeng’s heart.

He patted Qiuqiu’s little head and rubbed it: “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“Ying ying!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t overdo it. Do I really seem that weak in Qiuqiu’s eyes?”

“Ying~~~” Qiuqiu drew out the sound, seemingly skeptical.

Thump!

Shao Zifeng flicked it unhappily, and Qiuqiu, looking wronged, hugged its little head with its paws.

Egg bullying Qiuqiu.

,,Ts^Ts,,

“Zifeng, are you alright?”

Chen Yixin quickly came over, concerned, as if she had noticed something off about Shao Zifeng.

“Yixing, I’m fine, just need to rest a bit,” Shao Zifeng waved his hand, attempting to stand up.

Chen Yixin stepped forward to support Shao Zifeng’s arm and promptly opened his helmet’s visor.

Beneath the visor, Shao Zifeng’s face was pale, his lips dry and starting to peel, looking very weak.

“You say you’re fine, but you shouldn’t push yourself when you’re not feeling well. What am I supposed to do with you?”

“Heh heh, it’s pretty cold like this.”

Shao Zifeng leaned against the all-terrain vehicle, reaching out to pull down his visor, as the sub-minus temperatures were not to be taken lightly.

“Drink some water first.”

Chen Yixin stopped him, opened her own helmet visor, and pulled out a plastic water tube.

To facilitate hydration during the journey, everyone’s protective suit had an inbuilt water bag, with a tube leading into the helmet. Whenever thirsty, one needed only to bite the tube to drink water.

In this environment, to address the needs of eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, everyone was basically wearing adult diapers.

Putting aside the inconvenience of getting in and out of protective suits, at these temperatures, certain parts were very susceptible to frostbite.

“I still have…”

Before he could finish, Shao Zifeng patted his water bladder and discovered that his water was already finished at some point.

He glanced somewhat awkwardly at the water tube in Chen Yixin’s hands and licked his chapped lips, feeling truly thirsty.

“Go ahead and drink, what’s a little kid got to be so self-conscious about?” Chen Yixin said with a chuckle, “Don’t tell me you actually have some improper thoughts about your sister here.”

“How could I?”

Shao Zifeng smiled sheepishly and reached out to take the water tube, putting it into his mouth.

The sweet taste of the glacial meltwater perked Shao Zifeng up.

But because the water tube was only so long, he ended up leaning close to Chen Yixin’s chest, which was somewhat awkward.

Chen Yixin watched the young man drinking water with a soft gaze, “Using that ability you mentioned must consume a lot of spiritual power, right?”

“Mm.”

Shao Zifeng, preoccupied with drinking, nodded subconsciously, then took a strong pull of water and raised his head, “It’s fine, I just need more practice.”

While they were talking, Qiuqiu glanced at Shao Zifeng, then at the water tube in front of Chen Yixin’s chest.

It felt like Egg was secretly having a tasty treat behind its back.

Although it wanted to taste what it was, it never had a good impression of this woman who had cursed at it.

Suddenly, the clever Qiuqiu remembered something, it scrambled into the helmet through Shao Zifeng’s clothes, grabbed the tube, and shoved it into its mouth.

Sip~

A few drops of water evaporated in its mouth in an instant.

Qiuqiu was stunned, the water was tasteless, duck.

But after a brief moment, Qiuqiu understood.

Its teary eyes looked up at Egg.

So this was what Egg ate every day.

So pitiful.

It really should be nicer to him.

Feeling Qiuqiu hugging his chin and nuzzling wildly inside the helmet, Shao Zifeng was overwhelmed by an uncontrollable wave of emotion.

Affected by this surge of feeling, Shao Zifeng himself became a bit emotional.

What’s this, he felt a bit dazed.

“Don’t cry, if it’s too much, take a break later and let them lead the way,”

Chen Yixin was a bit flustered upon seeing Shao Zifeng’s tearful eyes, after all, as an older leftover woman, she lacked experience in playing the confidante.

Oh no!

Shao Zifeng quickly snapped out of his emotional state, hurriedly explaining to Chen Yixin that he wasn’t crying.

“Mm-hmm, good that you’re not crying, don’t keep things bottled up inside. Make sure to tell me, okay?”

Under Chen Yixin’s doubtful gaze, Shao Zifeng wished he could pull Qiuqiu out and give it a good thrashing.

“I…”

At that moment, a crackling sound came through the earpiece.

“Repo-reporting…” It was Tong Hao speaking, and as he spoke, the sound of him swallowing water could clearly be heard, “There are a lot of mutant creatures, many we’ve never seen before.”

“That’s impossible…”

Upon hearing Tong Hao’s words, the most shocked was Wang Hongcai, but before he could finish speaking, he was glared back into silence by Chen Yixin.

“Have you been exposed?”

“No exposure, they’re all huddled together to keep out the cold wind, they haven’t noticed us yet.”

Zhao Li turned to Chen Yixin and said, “Professor, what should we do next?”

“Let’s go have a look,” Chen Yixin pulled down her helmet visor, “Tong Hao, Ma Kai, stay hidden and don’t expose yourselves; we’ll be right there.”

“Yes!”
