Chapter 44: Look at her subtle expression



The spiritual power in Yuanze's body was released, and the vast spiritual energy hit the ice under his feet like waves, shaking the ice within a hundred miles to the point that it showed signs of breaking.

Only a tiny trace of the ice that held the hanging grass remained.

"Ha, very good." Yuan Ze curled his lips into a cold smile. The greater the spiritual power he released, the stronger the vibration.

And the ice block still had few signs of breaking as usual.

If this situation continues, who knows how long it will take for it to shatter.

"Stop, stop now."

A faint voice came from the edge of the cliff, which made both of them suddenly stunned. They didn't expect that there was another species here.

A small head popped out from the edge of the cliff, with two tiny tentacles on its head and bright eyes looking at them.

It climbed up tremblingly, and Shen Qi saw that it had a shell on its soft body.

Is this... a snail beast?

"Please don't bother it anymore!" Its pleading eyes were clearly visible, and its soft body crawled towards the direction of the cold hanging grass.

Shen Qi signaled Yuan Ze to stop. He glanced at her and now knew that it was impossible to shatter the ice with spiritual power, so he withdrew the spiritual power in his hand.

Shen Qi whispered: "Do you know what this grass is?"

"Of course I know. This grass is called Hanxuan Grass."

It was quite fitting. Shen Qi asked again, "Why did you stop us?"

The snail beast's face was a little bitter. "I've been nurturing this winter grass for the entire winter season. Don't pull it out. Even if you use brute force, it will take forever."

The corners of Yuanze's mouth curled up in a terrifying arc, and he hooked his finger. The snail beast immediately came to him involuntarily, and it was so scared that it retracted its head into its shell.

He pinched its shell, his voice low and hoarse like a devil from hell, as if he wanted to lock its soul.

"Lift your head."

When the snail beast heard the sound, it stretched its body further inside, and its body trembled even more violently.

"Let me do it."

If he continued asking, the snail beast might be scared out of its wits.

Shen Qi placed it in the palm of his hand and whispered, "Little snail, we need this cold hanging grass. Do you have any way to separate it from the ice?"

She was still lowering her voice, but not as low as before, and it sounded half-female, half-male.

"I don't know how to pull it out. You...you'd better leave." The snail beast felt that it was in another person's hands, and a trembling voice came out from the shell.

Yuan Ze looked at him with a stern look, "Don't know? Then kill him."

You've been raising something for so long, and you still don't know how to remove it?

"No, no, no, don't kill me." Hearing that it was going to be killed, the snail beast poked half of its head out of its shell.

"I've been here for so long, trapped here with no way out, I'm almost starving to death."

The snail beast's voice choked with emotion. "I discovered this Hanxuan grass by accident. I discovered that the mucus on my body could nourish it to grow. When it was halfway tall, the spiritual energy emanating from its body could actually guide me back to the way I wanted to go. So, I had no choice but to raise it."

Shen Qi noticed that its cheeks were a little sunken, "So what do you usually eat?"

"It all depends on extracting some spiritual energy from the Hanxuan grass. Otherwise, I would have starved to death long ago. Because I extract spiritual energy from it every day, it grows very slowly. It's only now that it has finally grown up."

Shen Qi paused, then took out a small red fruit from the animal skin bag and said, "Here, eat it."

The snail beast's eyes lit up instantly. When he saw the bright red fruit, he hugged it to his chest and started to chew it, gobbling it up voraciously.

"I can take you out, but you have to help us get this Hanxuan grass out."

"Okay, okay, don't worry! I'll pull out this weed for you."

After eating the fruit, the snail beast stretched its body and crawled towards the cold hanging grass, but its speed...

Shen Qi held his forehead, picked up its shell and walked to the roots of the Hanxuan grass.

When the snail beast saw the nearby cold hanging grass, transparent mucus overflowed from its body and stained the part where the root connected to the ice.

In just a few seconds, the Hanxuan grass and the ice cube separated, and Shen Qi held the Hanxuan grass in the palm of his hand.

"Okay, I've got what you need. Now you can take me away!"

"Of course." Shen Qi placed it in the palm of his hand.

"By the way, let me tell you, there's a giant eagle here. Be careful. It almost caught me in its mouth before!"

Shen Qi raised an eyebrow, "That one?"

The snail beast looked up and saw an eagle beast above its head flapping its wings. Something pierced its abdomen and its whole body fell straight down.

"This, this, this! You've already done it?!"

Shen Qi lowered her eyes, "This is only big for you."

Since coming here, she has seen all kinds of large species. The giant eagle it just mentioned is not even as big as her.

After going down the slope, Yuanze transformed into a beast.

The huge beast shape came into the eyes of the snail beast. It opened its mouth wide and even its shell shook with surprise.

"Isn't this a nine-tailed fox?"

The cold eyes looked at it, and it was so scared that it once again treated it as a snail that had shrank back into its shell.

But the sound of surprise still came from inside the shell.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a nine-tailed fox! It's bigger than any beast I've seen before!"

"Come up." A low and hoarse voice came out of the nine-tailed fox's mouth.

Shen Qi exerted force on her feet and jumped onto his back. Yuan Ze felt her sitting on him and rushed out across the cold valley.

When they reached the edge of the Frost Valley, Chen Qi put the snail beast down and picked a few red fruits for it.

"So many fruits! Thank you, thank you!" The snail monster kept thanking while holding fruits that were almost bigger than itself.

Inside the Evil Beast City.

Shen Qi got off the ground and said, "I'll go back to the house first."

Yuanze glanced at her and nodded.

When she returned to the cave, she saw Ai Chu eating barbecue, and Yan Di was standing next to him, also eating the barbecue.

"Why are you here?" Shen Qi looked at him with a puzzled look.

"The meat grilled by the little female is also very delicious. It's not too much for me to come over and have some." A teasing smile flashed across Yan Di's eyes for a moment.

Thinking of something, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. "How come you guys are back so soon? I thought it would take at least several days for you to come back."

"Of course it's faster to go there in beast form."

Beast form? That shouldn't be the case. It's normal for Ze to go there alone at this speed, unless...

He reacted in an instant, his tone a little surprised, "Ze used his beast form to carry you there?"

Seeing Shen Qi nodded, he couldn't stop the shock in his eyes. He seemed a little uncertain, so he asked again, "Did he really carry you over in his animal form?"

Shen Qi hummed impatiently.

Yan Di was stunned, as if he had lost his voice.

How could Ze possibly use his beast form to carry other beastmen, especially a male beast! This, this, this! He couldn't accept this fact for a moment.

Yan Di's expression suddenly became subtle when he looked at her...
