The next day. Early morning.
"Golden Ape, let's go hunting, time to eat something good."
Fang Yu once again summoned the Golden Ape from the Summoned Beast Plane.
The fatigue the Golden Ape accumulated from yesterday's battle and travel had almost completely recovered after a night of rest in the Summoned Beast Plane.
As for Fang Yu, after a short rest, he was also full of energy.
With a bounty target in mind, Fang Yu didn't delay any further and set off again with the Golden Ape.
"Wuu~~"
In the outside world, the Golden Ape's figure slowly appeared. Upon hearing the word "eat," it subconsciously wiped its mouth with its arm.
However, if the Golden Ape were to learn that Fang Yu's target today was a bounty, capturing Ice Eagle hatchlings and not hunting for food, who knew how it would react.
Fang Yu and the Golden Ape set out.
Before noon, they had already traveled thirty kilometers.
They arrived at the mid-region of the Great Snow Mountain.
"Wuu wuu~~"
Suddenly, the Golden Ape let out a sharp cry. Its fur stood on end, its eyes widened to the limit, and it became restless and uneasy.
Snow piled heavily here, with thick layers covering the ground.
For some unknown reason, vegetation was scarce here everything was barren.
Along the way, there were many massive rocks scattered across the mountainside, ranging from hundreds to thousands of jin in weight.
Seeing the Golden Ape's golden fur bristle, Fang Yu was initially surprised. But suddenly, he too felt a chill run through his entire body, a sense of dread rising within him. It was instinctive, he hadn't actually seen anything.
The hairs on his body stood on end as he looked around, trying hard to find something, but saw nothing.
"Golden Ape, did you notice something?" Fang Yu asked.
The Golden Ape only continued to cry out, its eyes wide open. It couldn't explain, it was just instinct telling it something was very dangerous, making it restless.
At this moment, while Fang Yu and the Golden Ape were trying to detect the source of danger.
Rumble!!
A sound suddenly rang out. With a loud "boom," it made Fang Yu and the Golden Ape's scalps tingle.
They raised their heads, mouths agape, because the snow mountain above seemed to have trembled just now.
Rumble!!!
Once again, another sound came from above but this time, it was the sound of something falling.
Before the eyes of Fang Yu and the Golden Ape, chunks of rock began tumbling down from the mountain, followed by an overwhelming mass of snow cascading from above.
Now, Fang Yu finally understood why the Golden Ape had been so restless.
Because this was an avalanche.
A natural disaster!
He was shaken. The wilderness was indeed full of dangers, this was only the mid-region, and they had already encountered such a crisis.
Moreover, what made Fang Yu sigh was that he realized escape was no longer possible. The avalanche's coverage was too vast—they couldn't get out of it.
At this moment, rocks and snow crashed down with the force of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting apart. Fang Yu and the Golden Ape felt an immense pressure.
However, they did not sit and wait for death, but instead unleashed their full strength.
Preparing to withstand this natural disaster head-on.
In the next moment, the Golden Ape's body began to glow with golden light.
Under this radiance, its body rapidly expanded two meters, five meters, ten meters, twelve meters and it continued to grow!
"Ice!"
Fang Yu cast his spell in succession. With a soft shout, cold winds surged, freezing energy spread, and extreme ice gathered around the Golden Ape's body, covering it…
And as Fang Yu's Ice Element power erupted, the Golden Ape's form continued to change during its enlargement.
After a short while, when the radiance faded, the Golden Ape had grown beyond fifteen meters in height.
Moreover, its entire body was wrapped in a solid, frost-white ice armor its face and head covered as well.
In addition, the joints where its limbs connected to its body were wrapped in thick, ring-like ice armor, all frost-white, with ice crystals swirling around.
Mysterious, domineering, and savage, this was the aura the Golden Ape now exuded.
At this moment, the Golden Ape's originally black pupils had completely transformed into frost-white eyes filled with icy essence. Combined with the ice armor and the flowing ice crystals upon it, it looked incomparably ferocious like a tyrant capable of suppressing everything!
"ROAR!!!!"
In its fully enlarged state, the Golden Ape stood above Fang Yu, swinging its fists at the rocks that fell first.
Booms rang out one after another as the rocks were instantly shattered.
The first wave of danger was neutralized.
At this moment, the avalanche from the snow mountain was gradually approaching.
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
Ten meters!
"BOOM!!!"
The sound was so immense that Fang Yu and the Golden Ape were nearly deafened.
The power of the avalanche was far more terrifying than expected. It was like a steel fortress filled with unstoppable force, crashing wildly against the Golden Ape's body. Cracks began to spread across the ice armor.
Fang Yu continuously released his magic energy, condensing ice to cover and repair the shattered armor.
However, the avalanche continued to slam into them.
Ten minutes later, Fang Yu's Ice Element magic energy was completely depleted.
At this point, it was up to the Golden Ape to resist with its own strength. It unleashed a surge of black energy to cover its body, using its immense physical power to withstand the avalanche's impact.
After a long time, the avalanche finally subsided.
The Golden Ape had already returned to its original form and was severely injured. Together with Fang Yu, it was buried beneath the snow and ice.
At this moment, under the Golden Ape's protection, Fang Yu who was mostly unharmed, cast Spatial Rhythm. The surrounding snow and ice began to vibrate at high frequency.
Everything it passed through shattered into icy fragments, scattering into the air.
After a short while, Fang Yu emerged from the buried snow, carrying the injured Golden Ape.
Afterward, Fang Yu continued forward with the Golden Ape on his back.
The only benefit brought by this disastrous avalanche was that all the demons along the path had been cleared out. The entire mountain became eerily silent, allowing Fang Yu whose Ice Element energy had been exhausted to catch his breath.
After about an hour, Fang Yu found a cave. Entering it, he took out healing medicine to help the Golden Ape recover.
The next day.
Dawn broke, and orange morning light shone across the snowy mountain.
With his magic energy restored, Fang Yu followed the route and continued deeper.
As for the Golden Ape, it had already been sent back to the Summoned Beast Plane to rest.
"Rustle~"
The ground was covered with scattered stones, producing faint sounds when stepped on.
As he went deeper, Fang Yu noticed that the mountain here was filled with cracks, and the stones had fallen from them.
Walking along such a stone-covered slope in this silent environment gave a strong sense of unease.
Because often, the sounds he made would mask the subtle noises of prey lurking in the shadows.
Seeing this, Fang Yu cast his spell, releasing his Ice Domain Seed, spreading frost around himself before continuing forward.
After about half an hour, the surrounding stones gradually became sparse. The slope transitioned into flat ground, and snow once again covered the path ahead.
"Rustle~"
Suddenly, two Snow Spiders dropped quickly from the cracks.
They shot toward Fang Yu, their front legs aimed directly at his face, as if trying to stab into his eyes.
Fang Yu cast his spell and extended his left hand.
With a grasp into the void his telekinetic control instantly restrained the two Snow Spiders mid-air.
Ice surged from between Fang Yu's fingers. The two restrained Snow Spiders were completely enveloped, as biting cold spread outward, frost rapidly covering their bodies.
Moments later, they were frozen solid and fell to the ground.
Only then did Fang Yu look up toward the cracks. Around them, more than a dozen Snow Spiders clung to the surfaces.
Each of them had swollen venom sacs, and their long, flexible legs allowed them to cling perfectly to vertical rock walls. Even while moving quickly, they made no sound at all!
These Snow Spiders made not the slightest noise, approaching silently, observing silently, so quiet it made one's scalp tingle.
Moreover, they could cling to ice and snow, their skin completely blending with the snowy surroundings. If they remained still, one could walk right past them without noticing.
If Fang Yu hadn't been constantly covered in frost along the way, he might have already fallen into their trap.
