Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 111 Avalanche (First Update)

"Great King, use our power!" Eagle Fifty-Third shouted anxiously, "I am willing to contribute all my strength for your use!"

Then two more scattered voices shouted to support Yun Mo in battle again.

Without the Cloak Treasure to block the flames, he was getting beaten badly. Only three loyal subordinates remained, and seeing this, he couldn’t help but feel a desire to retreat, smiling bitterly, "I blame myself for not reading enough and getting deceived repeatedly. You all should find another wise lord. I can’t defeat the ice-fire fused Eagle Twenty-One, and I can no longer be your great king."

Yun Mo voluntarily severed the bond, intending to seize the opportunity to escape.

The book says if the green hills remain, there’s no worry about running out of wood to burn. As long as he’s alive, one day he will show the tribe there’s no need for life-or-death struggles, and that mutual strengthening is the way to go!

"Trying to leave?" Eagle Twenty-One laughed wildly, launching his ultimate attack—countless feathered arrows engulfed in flames attacked indiscriminately, most piercing towards Yun Mo and his loyal followers.

"Go! Quickly, go!" Seeing this, Yun Mo instinctively ran alone but chose to stay and used his body to shield his loyal followers from most of the damage.

At the same time, he forcefully pushed Eagle Fifty-Third and others away, using a Teleportation Talisman to send them off. Severely injured and without enough Spiritual Power to open his Storage Bag, he could only flee by flapping his wings with burning feathered arrows amidst the chaos affecting other Ice-winged Eagles.

Severe injuries caused his mind to be a bit foggy. Yun Mo only remembered the southeast direction had the Ghost Realm, which he must absolutely avoid, so he gritted his teeth and flew desperately towards the opposite northwest direction. He didn’t know how long he flew when suddenly a gust of wind came, chilling him to the bone, and he fainted, falling from the sky.

"Duang!"

Yun Mo’s massive body crashed into the snow-covered mountain, causing large amounts of ice and snow to tumble down.

Under the bright moonlight, the snow reflected bright glimmers, becoming active, as it joyfully rolled and galloped down the mountain, engulfing his body until it lay mostly buried in the snow, without any movement.

"What the heck is that noise?" Jiang Yuan was commanding papermen in the snow-covered mountain, digging for Spirit Mist Stone.

For the first time, he rode the Golden Eagle over Crescent Lake and the forest and prairie, flying directly to the snow-capped peak he could only watch from afar before. Experiencing the mountain’s grandeur up close also made him aware of the difficulty in collecting special materials.

The Earth Mirror Book skill could indicate a rough location, greatly reducing difficulty, allowing him not to wander aimlessly like a headless fly. Yet with ice and snow sometimes over ten meters thick and hidden terrain beneath covering large rocks stacked over small ones, finding a pebble-sized Spirit Mist Stone amidst the freezing environment took considerable effort.

Several rare herbs grew on the snow-covered mountain. Jiang Yuan assigned Bai Yunqi to pick and gather them, with the two acting separately.

Just when a dull sound suddenly came, he had just dug a snow pit over ten meters deep, discovering a wide crevice of unknown depth.

[65% probability of Spirit Mist Stone at 60 meters deep in the mountainside, consider trying to dig.]

Deep within the dark crevice, multicolored lights flickered, indicating direction. Jiang Yuan rode on a small-sized Immortal Crane, descending into the depths to see how many meters he could further. Suddenly startled by the sound, he looked up and found the ice-snow cave overhead making odd, subtle noises.

"Rustle, rustle!"

Fine snow particles bounced off his face, and his map showed a flashing dot, not too far from his position.

"Xiaobai, is that you?" Jiang Yuan immediately became alert.

Before they split up, he had checked the surroundings. Apart from ice and snow, there was only mountain, not even a small creature in sight. Suddenly there’s movement and a flashing dot approaching, causing him to feel a bit tense.

"Boom!"

Before Jiang Yuan could send out papermen to investigate, he heard another much louder rumble, followed by a massive avalanche burying the crevice under ice and snow, blocking his retreat completely!

It’s over! Trapped in an avalanche!

Jiang Yuan panicked a bit but wasn’t afraid. As long as he could have the papermen dig out a passage before running out of oxygen, he’d be fine. Luckily, during the avalanche, he had just entered the crevice, not directly buried under the snow, leaving him a large space to maneuver.

Moreover, Bai Yunqi would surely come helping upon hearing the commotion, leaving him nothing to fear!

Thinking this, he tried to calm down, minimized oxygen consumption, then watched as the papermen scaled the steep rock wall, frantically mining with their pickaxes at the enormous ice blocks blocking the way; the Golden Eagle also clawed desperately in the narrow space.

However, the millennium-old profound ice sealing the path was too massive and hard. Despite their efforts, there was no effect for quite a while. Jiang Yuan was encased in ice and snow, shivering intensely, forced to click quit the game.

"Damn! Actually got stuck!" He sat up on his bed, considering ways aside from using a Teleportation Talisman to escape. With no other options, he had to teleport back to his courtyard first, then ride the Golden Eagle to search for Bai Yunqi.

Hopefully, that snake didn’t get affected by the avalanche.

Jiang Yuan clicked to check his contract pets, discovering Xiaobai’s health and mana bars were still full, relieving his concerns.

"Could I consider leveling up my Paperman and Paper Horse Skill to Level Five, then fold Pangolins? These creatures are good diggers and might be able to penetrate the ice blocks, right?" He had never climbed a snow-covered mountain in reality, nor encountered such thick and hard ice, so wasn’t sure if it was feasible. With a Teleportation Talisman as a last resort, he could try more methods to escape.

Additionally, at least learning a proper martial art would be better than teaching disciples a simple exercise routine.

The icy cold sensation hadn’t fully dissipated yet. Jiang Yuan got up to take a hot shower.

After long passages in the game, traversing back and forth, he recently felt able to adjust to the rhythm and noticed one obvious change—as soon as he returned to reality, everything in the Wilderness World felt distant as if a dream, even though he remembered every occurrence, yet it lacked a sense of realism.

Once he entered the Wilderness World, his sense of belonging to the real world didn’t diminish at all, dispelling initial fears about addiction entirely.

Comfortably lying on the sofa, he didn’t pay attention to what was playing on the TV. He studied from his personal information interface to the contract pets info, scrutinizing his student’s details, all the way to weapon information, realizing the Soul Refining Banner’s status indicated it had finished refining malevolence and could release remaining spirituality.

Jiang Yuan immediately re-entered the game, took out the Soul Refining Banner, and clicked to release.

In the dark and narrow crevice, pale blue light spots floated suddenly, twinkling like scattered stars.

[The Soul Refining Banner has finished refining malevolence from leftover spirituality.]

[Due to capturing low-level mining ghosts who’ve long lost sanity and had their original souls eroded and extinguished by malevolence, unable to fully restore, only traces of spirituality could enter the Netherworld for recycling.]

The blue, starry lights soon dissipated, and Jiang Yuan stored the Soul Refining Banner into the Storage Bag, then exited the game again.

Reclining on the sofa, he looked at the Soul Refining Banner in the weapon bar, restored to its original color, feeling quite excited. This item could be taken to the real world!

Unlike tools and weapons purchased from the System Mall, reward items from side quests and interactions with original inhabitants like the Soul Refining Banner, Incense Stick, and the like could be used freely in both worlds.

"So, can I keep catching fierce ghosts in reality?" Jiang Yuan was both excited and curious, as he took out the Soul Refining Banner, then froze.
