These wolves have thick fur that would be better for keeping warm than the cotton wool on their bodies.

Awoo!

A scream.

At the wolf king's command, the wolf pack behind him suddenly launched an attack on Qin Che and his companion.

The wolf king was ferocious and his pack had been wandering on the ice plains for two days without finding any food. This was because humans had entered the jungle, cut down trees, and dug up boulders, which had frightened many creatures into fleeing, including this wolf pack.

They were starving.

They don't care about anything else and pounce on any creature they see to hunt.

Qin Che remained completely calm. With a wave of his hand, countless flying blades flew out from his personal space, killing all the invading wolf pack!

Swish, swish, swish!

The flying blades shot out in dense swarms, and most of the wolf pack was killed or wounded on their way to the charge.

The rest were terrified, their eyes wide open, unable to stop themselves, and frantically backed away.

The wolf king also howled. Seeing so many casualties among its pack, its eyes turned red, and it began to bite Qin Che frantically.

In an instant, a flaming divine sword shot out, piercing the wolf through!

Blood splattered as the wolf king lost its strength during the attack and suddenly collapsed.

Qin Che easily executed them and retrieved their corpses.

Holding Little Stone's hand, we continued walking north...

...

The two ventured deep into the icy plains. For several days and nights, the sky was perpetually overcast with dark clouds, and only a few rays of sunlight pierced through to illuminate them.

The surrounding area was desolate and silent, and it was impossible to even tell which way was which, because it was all flat land and there wasn't even a mountain in sight.

Qin Che rarely spoke to Xiao Shitou; he simply held Xiao Shitou's hand tightly and used his spiritual energy to warm their bodies.

That night, the two encountered a severe snowstorm.

Suddenly, the wind and snow covered the sky and sun, causing Qin Che to lose his way and not be able to tell east from west or north from south. He was helpless, but there was nowhere around to rest.

They couldn't possibly spend the night on the flat ground. Qin Che could go without sleep, but Little Stone wasn't as strong as him.

Even so, Little Stone remained resilient.

She had served in the army, been on the battlefield, and received elite training. She could endure this hardship, and after several days and nights, she didn't utter a single complaint.

Looking at her flushed face, Qin Che was speechless, only wanting to find a place to rest and relax.

Several more days passed,

When the two emerged from the blizzard, they finally saw a mountain.

On the ice field, both the land and the mountains are covered with ice.

After Qin Che ventured deep into the ice field, it was as if he had arrived at the two poles of the earth. The cold was bone-chilling, and the temperature remained below zero all day. If he were just an ordinary human, he would not be able to go very far. He would be afraid that he would freeze to death if he encountered a little wind and snow.

"Sir, there are mountains ahead!"

Little Stone pointed ahead; this was the first thing she had said in the past few days.

"Um."

Qin Che pulled Xiao Shitou forward and came to the foot of the mountain. The mountain was not big; it was more like a pile of huge rocks than a mountain.

The gaps between the stones provided some shelter from the cold wind. Qin Che exhaled a breath of warm air and pulled Xiao Shitou inside to rest.

"Sir, are you hungry?"

Little Stone asked him.

Qin Che shook his head, but took out some dried meat from his personal space and handed it to Xiao Shitou: "You eat it, I'm not hungry yet."

At his level, he could maintain his bodily functions simply by absorbing spiritual energy, without needing to rely on food to maintain his calories and nutrition.

But you still need to eat a little; it's not like in the novel where you can completely abstain from grains.

Psionicists are not cultivators.

Qin Che is very strong, but he is still a human being who needs energy and nutrition.

Little Stone ate his jerky, staring blankly at the wind and snow outside.

Are you tired?

"Yeah, a little." Little Stone gave an embarrassed smile.

"It's okay, just lean against me and take a nap. I was planning to rest here."

Qin Che pulled Xiao Shitou into his arms.

"Haven't you sensed anything using your supernatural intuition these past few days?"

Little Stone said, "I haven't felt anything since yesterday, and I haven't started feeling anything today yet. I need to rest for a while."

"Okay, then you can rest well. We'll continue our journey the next day."

"Um!"

Little Stone felt that sleeping in his master's arms was the happiest thing. No matter how cold the weather or how frozen the ground was, as long as he was with his master, everything was warm.

Little Stone fell asleep quickly.

Qin Che held her close, embracing her and covering her body and face with his cloak to keep her from feeling the light, hoping she could get a good night's sleep.

These past few days, Little Stone has been using his super intuition to help Qin Che detect and predict things.

But the two of them gained nothing.

The only thing they sensed was that the two of them were still on their way.

Qin Che wasn't in a hurry; on the contrary, he was very patient.

This ice field is vast, extremely vast, and the northern border seems different from the China he remembers.

Everything here is unfamiliar.

The flat ice layer and these deathly boulders all testify that this place is a dead end.

If they are not careful, even Qin Che might not be able to go back.

He couldn't help but recall that many years ago, in his early simulations, he had gone north several times, entered the ice field, and never came out again.

By then, he already possessed an extraordinary body.

That's enough to illustrate the danger here...

After a day and a night, Little Stone rested and woke up in Qin Che's arms. She lifted the cloak that Qin Che had been covering her with, revealing her little face, and saw that Qin Che was also sleeping.

However, she twisted her body slightly and made a little noise, which woke Qin Che up.

"Sir, I... I didn't mean to, please continue sleeping."

Qin Che glanced around; it was still the same crevice in the boulder from last night, with a blizzard raging outside.

He couldn't help but click his tongue: "What kind of weather is this..."

Little Stone remained silent, not daring to say anything, but he understood that the master was probably feeling very aggrieved.

This was the seventh day since the two entered the ice field.

It's still a blizzard...
