As he drew closer, Gu Ming saw that the clouds and mist at the summit were drifting like a thin veil, finally revealing the peak hidden behind them.
The peak was blanketed in pristine white snow, glistening with a cold, sharp light under the sun.
Most of the mountain, however, was exposed brown rock and dark green vegetation, forming a stark divide between cold and warm.
Near the foot of the mountain, the air still carried the warmth of spring.
But when Gu Ming looked up the mountain, he saw dozens of Pet Beasts huddled together and shivering about one to two hundred meters up the slope.
Tiny ice crystals clung to their fur. It was obvious they were suffering from the cold, and it was no ordinary chill.
'Are they trapped in an Ice Frost Array?'
He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed intently on the shivering figures.
Lu You, who was beside him, heard him. She followed his gaze, and her pupils narrowed slightly.
