The dashboard of the all-terrain snow vehicle suddenly lit up with a red light and emitted a rapid alarm tone.

“Damn it!”

Glancing at his wristwatch, Shao Zifeng saw that they were less than two kilometers away from the preset destination, but the fuel tank was already in a critical state. This time, to reduce the load, he hadn’t brought the supplies from the transport sled.

There wasn’t enough time, and the fuel drums were too bulky.

“Let’s go for it!”

Although he didn’t know how much longer he had before the vehicle completely stopped, they were already not far from the preset destination!

Maxing out the throttle, Shao Zifeng slowly closed his eyes.

In his void-like sensory vision, lines outlined gorges that began to appear, and according to the map, the ice below the upcoming area was all fractured rock crevices.

On his leg, the little toothed dragon outlined in lines timidly touched Shao Zifeng’s Ghost Body with its tiny claws.

“Big meanie!”

“Pfft.”

The immature voice rang out, nearly breaking the intense concentration of Shao Zifeng–who had almost forgotten about the little creature’s presence.

“I’m not a big meanie, my name is Shao Zifeng.”

“Big meanie! Jiajia’s gone!”

“Ah, you… I didn’t mean to.”

“Big meanie, big meanie!”

Zifeng had a headache. Extending his senses backward, he discovered that the Snow Soul Wolf pack was closing in.

“I can’t be distracted anymore.”

Thinking this, Shao Zifeng severed the psychic link with the little toothed dragon.

Hisss—-

The all-terrain snow vehicle executed a perfect drift, kicking up a large swath of snow, and successfully avoiding the trench that lay ahead.

The vehicle’s wheels rolled over, and the ice layer that covered the trench crackled.

A fine sweat broke out on Shao Zifeng’s forehead; after a loop, he again drifted to avoid the next fractured trench.

With the snow vehicle’s serpentine maneuvers, the distance between him and the wolf pack got even closer.

The cold eyes of the Snow Soul Wolves shimmered with ferocity, their paws pressing hard against the ground, their hind legs coiled ready to pounce.

Crack!

“Howl—-”

Suddenly, the ground beneath one wolf’s paw gave way; it lowered its head in dumbfounded confusion, its body plummeting into the dark crevice, the expression eerily reminiscent of a Siberian Snow Wolf Dog.

It was no surprise, given their close kinship.

“Howl howl howl…”

The other Snow Soul Wolves in the pack halted immediately, those behind not reacting fast enough, crashing into the wolves in front of them.

As a result, the unlucky few at the front also tumbled into the crevice.

The Wolf King, clawing its way up the rocks, eyes wide, watched helplessly as its subordinates crashed down upon it.

“Howl!!!”

An angry howl resonated as a frigid blast mixed with flying ice suddenly erupted from the crevice.

In the visibly cold burst, several Snow Soul Wolves were blown into the air, before struggling with their limbs and crashing down into the snow nests.

Crack!

A paw wrapped in sharp icicles gripped the edge of the crevice; the unusually furious Wolf King slowly climbed out.

Shaking off the snow from its body, the Wolf King’s cold gaze fixed on the figure slithering away and howled long into the sky.

Afterward, under its lead, the wolf pack chased after the tracks left by Shao Zifeng’s vehicle.

“Smart enough to learn from a setback,” muttered Shao Zifeng, opening his eyes.

Having crossed the area with the sub-ice fractures, he didn’t need to maintain empathy anymore; looking down at his wristwatch, there was about one kilometer left to the predetermined location.

Zifeng felt a growing anxiety in his heart because he was acutely aware the vehicle’s speed was dropping fast and his situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

The little toothed dragon biting on Zifeng’s lower leg blinked its nictitating membrane a few times.

It had seen everything that had just happened and felt a bit of excitement.

As a lone creature, it had never felt this way; every time it was hungry and went out searching for food, it was always the one being chased.

And the weak little toothed dragon could only swallow the humiliation and tell itself not to cry, vowing to seek revenge once it grew bigger.

This was the first time the little toothed dragon had experienced the thrill of playing with a powerful Hunter, as Shao Zifeng was demonstrating.

With a look of admiration, the little toothed dragon glanced at Shao Zifeng and then quickly shook its head.

“No, no, big baddie.”

Shao Zifeng didn’t have time to consider the little toothed dragon’s thoughts because his all-terrain vehicle had completely run out of fuel.

Fortunately, they were less than a hundred meters from their destination. He hurriedly abandoned the all-terrain vehicle, and limping with the little toothed dragon on his leg, he made his way forward.

Thud.

Ouch.

The little toothed dragon felt its little belly hit the snowy ground and then get flung high into the air again.

Thud.

Ouch.

It hit the snowy ground once more and was again sent flying high.

With tears welling up in its eyes, the little toothed dragon wanted to rub its belly the next time it was in the air, but then remembered its short front paws and resignedly braced for the impact, following Shao Zifeng’s rhythm.

Don’t cry!

Because.

Its paws couldn’t reach to wipe away the tears.

After running about a dozen steps, Shao Zifeng spoke somewhat helplessly, “Hey, little buddy, can you get off my leg?”

The little toothed dragon’s amber eyes with greenish pupils flickered, and then it obediently let go of its bite.

“Good kid, now run!”

A smile crept onto Shao Zifeng’s face, and after shouting out, he gathered all his strength and started to run forward as fast as he could.

“Awooo–”

The howling of wolves drew closer and closer, and Shao Zifeng’s heart pounded violently as he ran.

Pant, pant.

The cold wind, carrying bits of snow, howled as Shao Zifeng could faintly hear heavy breathing behind him.

Suddenly, he came to a halt.

Thud!

The abrupt stop caused the little toothed dragon to tumble once more, sliding on the snow and getting half-buried as the snow it pushed up covered most of its body.

Sitting up from the ground, the little toothed dragon shook the snow off its head and sniffed twice.

All of a sudden, its body stiffened, and it slowly turned its head.

Shao Zifeng turned around and stared in amazement at the large Snow Soul Wolves not far away.

Although he had been chased for so long, it was the first time he had gotten such a clear look at them up close.

They were similar in size to the Siberian Snow Wolf Dogs he had seen before, but the Snow Soul Wolves were leaner and more svelte, with a chilly aura.

It was an aura that those sometimes batty Siberian Snow Wolf Dogs could never learn.

Their bodies were a blueish-grey, with legs fading in color from dark to light, and their claws had the semi-translucent appearance of Ghost Bodies.

With souls of blue flickering in their eyes, the manes around their necks were also semi-translucent like Ghost Bodies, and their long snouts bore barely visible fangs that shimmered coldly.

The Wolf King, looking down from above, took two silent steps forward.

The little toothed dragon was shivering all over, its small paws clinging tightly to Shao Zifeng’s leg while it peeked out, stealthily observing the Snow Soul Wolf King.

Feeling the little toothed dragon’s emotions, Shao Zifeng lowered his head to look at it, his face beneath the mask displaying a warm smile, “There, there, don’t be afraid.”

The little toothed dragon’s body shook violently, and it quickly let go of its paws and turned its head away.

Must not cry!

The paws can’t reach to wipe the tears!

But!

Ever since its mother had left, it had not felt this kind of warmth for a very long time.

Without paying attention to the little toothed dragon’s reaction, Shao Zifeng looked up at the Snow Soul Wolf King, “I think there might be some misunderstanding between us?”

“Awooo–”

The Wolf King, enraged by Shao Zifeng’s demeanor, saw the soul fire in its eyes flicker rapidly as currents swirled around it, with shards of ice and snow sweeping towards Shao Zifeng in a torrential barrage.

“F*ck, Cold Wind! Opening with a big move like that, have you no shame?!”

(PS: Although I’ve taken a few days off recently, could you guys please cast a few votes for me? Don’t cry, paws… pht! No more acting cute.)
