Under the grayish-blue sky, a Ten Thousand Feet Ice Mountain towered majestically, reaching from the foot to the peak, seeming to connect directly to the heavens and penetrate the earth.
Below the Ten Thousand Feet Ice Mountain, there was a breathtaking spectacle: a hundred-ter-tall ice horse was circling the mountain.
When the fleeing Li Cunxu saw the slowly moving ice horse, he couldn’t help but feel delighted, his destination had arrived.
At this mont, a corner of the clouds in the sky revealed the sun’s rays, beaming down like columns of light onto the Ten Thousand Feet Ice Mountain. Under the reflection of the ice, the mountain turned into a dazzling Ten Thousand Feet Gold Mountain, and the ice horse into a shining golden horse.
Jiang Lingyun exclaid eagerly, "There’s a mysterious pet beast ahead, and it looks really strong. Let’s turn back quickly."
Li Cunxu replied, "Don’t be afraid, it won’t attack you, and it’s actually our target for this trip."
"Weren’t we here to find sothing?"
"Yes, the key to the Blue Seed Gourd is on it."
Li Cunxu glanced again at the small black dot gradually approaching in the sky behind.
"Besides, we also need it to escape the powerful enemy behind."
"Can the giant ice horse help us drive away our enemies?" Jiang Lingyun asked happily.
"Not exactly, but it has a Secret Realm Key. If we touch it, we can hide inside the secret realm."
The closer they got to the ice horse, the more they could feel its enormity, especially as its massive ice hoof slowly descended.
"What kind of pet beast is this ice horse?"
"It’s the Ice Heaven Giant Horse, a warhorse specific to the Frost Giant clan from ancient tis. They are born with overlord-level strength, over ten ters tall, and when fully grown, definitely beco an Overlord, with a minimum height of fifty ters. This one’s height exceeds a hundred ters; it was a King-level pet beast when alive."
"Alive? What do you an? Could it possibly be dead, like the Ice Grudge Mammoth that beca an Undead Pet after reviving?"
"No, this one was turned into a puppet out of soone’s twisted fascination and has been wandering here in circles ever since."
Sima Jing caught up, and he too saw the towering Ice Heaven Giant Horse, feeling imnse dread. But the ominous black fla burning over his head brought such intense unease that he pushed forward fearlessly.
When he saw Li Cunxu approaching the Ice Heaven Giant Horse and realized it didn’t attack Li Cunxu, Sima Jing imdiately sensed sothing peculiar about the ice horse.
Ice Heaven Giant Horses are extrely violent and aggressive, and in ancient tis, only colder and more ruthless Frost Giants could ta them. To see Li Cunxu approach without being attacked is truly abnormal, but it’s a good thing for Sima Jing.
If Li Cunxu got kicked to death by the ice horse, who would help him extinguish this darned black fire?
Sima Jing saw Li Cunxu wasn’t running anymore and assud he had given up resisting. But as he approached, he saw Li Cunxu wave a goodbye gesture before colliding with the descending hoof of the ice horse along with Jiang Lingyun.
The next second, Li Cunxu and Jiang Lingyun disappeared.
"Another spatial teleportation trick? Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog, keep tracking."
The Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog shook its head and pointed at the ice horse again.
What does this an? Sima Jing was puzzled.
The Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog wasn’t Sima Jing’s pet beast; he had stolen it from an Alliance Police officer, so communicating without barriers was impossible.
Why does the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog obey him?
Because it’s under the control of his Pink-haired Three-headed Dog.
The Pink-haired Three-headed Dog is a bizarre product of a Hell Three-headed Dog and an Enchanting Demon, highly skilled in enchantnt and control, especially doubling the effect on canine and wolf-like pet beasts.
Sima Jing imdiately summoned the Pink-haired Three-headed Dog to interpret.
"You didn’t see traces of spatial teleportation this ti, but traces of entering a secret realm. You an, they entered a secret realm."
"Where’s the entrance to the secret realm?"
The Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog pointed at the ice horse, barking several tis.
The Pink-haired Three-headed Dog translated, "It says the entrance to the secret realm is on that giant ice horse."
With the secret realm’s entrance on the seemingly puppet-refined Ice Heaven Giant Horse, Sima Jing hesitated whether to enter. A secret realm entrance set on a King-level ice horse surely indicates a special realm.
If he enters, he might encounter so form of danger within.
Yet, if he doesn’t enter, the bizarre black fla over his head is truly aggravating.
While Sima Jing was pondering, the Celestial Patrol Eagle began to attack the ice and snow again, trying to extinguish the black fla, but the fla remained unaffected by anything and wouldn’t go out regardless of the efforts.
After much struggle, Sima Jing gritted his teeth and went in.
He and the Celestial Patrol Eagle both had a premonition that if the fla wasn’t extinguished, they might die.
...
Upon entering the secret realm, a beast battle arena with Ancient Ro style appeared before their eyes.
Inside the arena, a giant lion and giant tiger were engaged in combat.
"Where is this?" Jiang Lingyun looked around.
"It’s the secret realm."
"Like in the stories told by the old folks at the village entrance, a world much smaller than a small world."
"Yes."
"We can enter, but can they enter too?"
"Yes, there’s no threshold for this secret realm; anyone can enter."
Jiang Lingyun glanced at the window in a hurry, exclaiming, "Then we should quickly find a place to hide."
Li Cunxu held Jiang Lingyun back, "Outside is the spatial wall; we can’t leave. This secret realm is just as big as this beast battle arena."
"Ah, doesn’t that an we can be seen as soon as they enter? Aren’t we dood?"
"Don’t worry, we’re quite safe. This is the Illusory Beast Battle Secret Realm, constructed by an emperor who loved watching pet beasts fight. In this realm, personal battles are prohibited. If you must fight, it can only be on the battle arena for a life-and-death duel; private fighting will be punished by the secret realm’s rules."
"Co on, let’s sit down and watch the beast fight."
Li Cunxu enthusiastically explained the rules of the Illusory Beast Battle Secret Realm to Jiang Lingyun.
"The most crucial aspect of the Illusory Beast Battle Secret Realm is this Beast Fighting Coin."
Li Cunxu pulled out a coin engraved with the battle arena from his pocket.
"Check your pocket."
Jiang Lingyun found a Beast Fighting Coin identical to Li Cunxu’s in her own pocket.
"When did you put it in my pocket?"
"I didn’t put it; the secret realm did. Every person entering the Illusory Beast Battle Secret Realm for the first ti is given a Beast Fighting Coin."
Jiang Lingyun asked, "Is there any use for this Beast Fighting Coin?"
"The Beast Fighting Coin can exchange treasures stored in the realm’s treasury. The treasures here are plentiful and exceptional, there even once appeared a divine essence, but unfortunately, it was exchanged by the ancients."
The purpose of Li Cunxu’s trip to the Ice City is to obtain the Blue Seed Gourd in the treasure of the Ice Fla White Dragon King, he knows the location but needs the key to unlock it.
Originally, the treasure’s key was with a Beast Master, who was very unlucky. While searching for the treasure, he accidentally entered the Illusory Beast Battle Secret Realm and, unaware of the battle arena’s rules, engaged in a beast fight and inadvertently died in the arena. Thus, the treasure key was stored in the arena’s treasury.
Fortunately, the arena didn’t understand the true value of the treasure key, requiring only one Beast Fighting Coin to exchange for it.
However, Li Cunxu won’t use his Beast Fighting Coin to exchange because the arena hides traps. Those who unknowingly use their gifted coin cannot leave.
