Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 74: Choosing the Second Spiritual Beast! (End of - Giveaway)
"Is this the place where the Starshine Equipment Material is located?"
Standing at the foot of Snow Ridge Mountain, looking up at the blizzard above, Yue Li cutely wrinkled her adorable nose, "It looks freezing just by looking at it."
"Try this?" Qin Chuan pulled out two red fruits from the basket on his back, popped one into his mouth, and handed another to Yue Li, "Water Flower just found these nearby, they can warm up the body."
"Where there's a snake, there's an antidote herb growing nearby, I think these fruits are for dealing with this kind of situation."
"Okay." Yue Li took one and ate it.
Before long, they both felt as if they were suddenly in the midst of the hottest days of summer; looking towards Snow Ridge Mountain no longer felt cold and they felt eager to rush in.
Little Green descended from the high sky, circling at low altitude above their heads to dispel the cold winds, while Little Red hid in Yue Li's arms, its flaming tail burning fiercely but not harming Yue Li, instead, it acted like a hand warmer.
Water Flower's four paws stepped on the snowy ground, shivering from the chill transmitted to its pads, it couldn't resist shaking and started running wildly, even faster than usual.
In no time, they saw the Ice Cave midway up the mountain.
The White Wolf had already sensed their approach and let out a fierce howl, pouncing the moment they appeared, with an overbearing look that seemed to dismiss all others.
A malevolent aura faced Qin Chuan and Yue Li, and a scan result appeared before both of them at the same time.
[Spiritual Beast Species: Ice Demon Wolf]
[Spiritual Beast Attribute: Ice Attribute]
[Spiritual Beast Level: Growth Rank Lv20]
[Spiritual Beast State: Uncontracted]
[Spiritual Beast Introduction: The Ice Demon Wolf of the Ice Attribute Spirit Beast, a tyrant of the snowy plains, with formidable strength and a strong sense of territory.]
Anyone not in the know would think you're an Elite Rank, but who taught you to be so arrogant at Growth Rank?
Expressions of speechlessness appeared on Qin Chuan and Yue Li's faces at the same time.
"Water Flower/Little Green, go!"
-----------------
"Oooooo~"
Watching the Ice Demon Wolf, shivering on the snow-covered ground with its paws over its head, Water Flower and Little Green both backed off and looked towards Qin Chuan and Yue Li behind them.
Qin Chuan patted Water Flower on its head and casually walked into the Ice Cave; amidst the heartbroken expression of the Ice Demon Wolf, he quickly came out with two pieces of resources.
"Here!"
To Yue Li's eager eyes, Qin Chuan smiled and handed over the Starshine Equipment Material to her while pocketing another piece, a low-level Ice Attribute resource called Cold Soul Essence.
"Now I've also collected two pieces of equipment material," Yue Li nodded contentedly, fitting the materials into the forging page of the Starshine Equipment and then glancing at the Ice Demon Wolf, "This guy seems quite capable. Aren't you considering contracting an Ice Attribute beast? Maybe consider this one?"
Qin Chuan glanced at the Ice Demon Wolf, which looked back pitifully at him.
The Special Affairs Group had shared a piece of intelligence before; there are two reliable methods for players to contract Spiritual Beasts: the first is reaching an agreement, where the beast willingly accepts the contract, and the other is forcing a contract after defeating the beast.
Now that the Ice Demon Wolf had been defeated, it surely wouldn't resist if he offered a contract. Contracting the Growth Rank Lv20 Ice Demon Wolf would save lots of cultivation resources, and the attributes were a good match too.
But...
"I'll consider it," Qin Chuan said without hesitation, "This one surrenders too quickly; not a suitable choice for a Spiritual Beast."
Water Flower and Little Green had barely shown their strength, and without much harm to it, the Ice Demon Wolf had already surrendered, a typical bully who fears the strong.
Ice Demon Wolf: "???"
Is there something wrong with abandoning the dark and turning to the light?
"That's true." Yue Li smiled, quite agreeing with Qin Chuan's words, "Let's keep looking then."
Saying so, the two turned and left.
A flurry of snowflakes twinkled in the cold wind, quickly morphing into a figure.
It watched through the vast blizzard as the two left, its icy crystal eyes showing thick grievances and anger before shattering back into the expanse of snow.
-----------------
"We just managed to come down in time."
At the base of Snow Ridge Mountain, as the last bit of warmth in their bodies faded, they both felt relieved.
One step later, and they would've frozen stiff.
Water Flower: "?"
"Another fruitful day," Qin Chuan chuckled, "Let's find a place nearby to rest."
"Okay!" Yue Li nodded.
After hours of searching for resources, their stamina had depleted and replenished over and over; they were ravenous by now.
With the addition of the Flame-tailed Squirrel, even making fire had become easy.
Finding a clear patch of ground, the two people and three beasts soon started to enjoy some warm food.
While they were chatting and laughing, a chill wind blew by.
Before Qin Chuan could react, a petite figure suddenly appeared, a snow-white long blade hanging from its lower back, charging rapidly toward Qin Chuan.
"Woof!"
Water Flower, the first to react, instantly tried to deploy her Blood Control Ability to interrupt the attacker's move, but her usually infallible power lost its effect on this occasion.
Light blue ripples spread out from under Water Flower's feet. In a panic, she burst forth with effort, dragging behind her a string of afterimages as she viciously pounced toward the assailant.
The attacker halted their momentum, and the long blade at their back flashed out of its sheath in an instant, slashing a blade of icy blue light toward Water Flower.
Taking advantage of the moment Water Flower dodged to the side, they moved as lightly as a dandelion in the air, darting and pivoting, once again lunging at Qin Chuan.
The howling wind caused them to sway back and forth, a pale green slash heading straight for their waist in the next instant.
It was Xiao Qing's turn to act.
Just as everyone thought the attacker would be split in two, their body suddenly turned into countless snowflakes, willingly dispersing into the raging wind.
One flake silently approached Qin Chuan and then suddenly coalesced back into the original form.
Looking at Qin Chuan, who was just within reach, a flicker of joy passed through those ice crystal-like eyes.
Just as Qin Chuan was about to be struck by the long blade, a Rapid Stream Break launched the attacker flying a dozen meters away, crashing against a rock before falling motionless.
"That was close..."
Yue Li let out a huge sigh of relief, and seeing Qin Chuan going over, quickly followed.
A Spiritual Beast resembling a clear day doll lay fainted on the ground, no taller than the length of a forearm, with a rotating ice crystal snowflake behind its head and a snow-white long blade hung across its back.
[Spiritual Beast Species: Frost Doll]
[Spiritual Beast Attribute: Ice Attribute]
[Spiritual Beast Level: Juvenile Stage Lv10]
[Spiritual Beast State: Uncontracted]
[Spiritual Beast Introduction: The Ice Attribute Spirit Beast Frost Doll, an assassin concealed within frost and snow, is endowed with unyielding belief thanks to the innate long blade.]
Looking at the introduction text before him, Qin Chuan stroked his chin.
The Frost Doll had just shattered into snow and then used a single snowflake to restore itself, a skill that immediately impressed Qin Chuan and piqued his interest.
The courage it took to proactively attack an enemy stronger than itself pleased Qin Chuan as well.
An idea began to take root in his heart.
Qin Chuan looked at Yue Li.
"What do you think... if I contract it?"
