"He was distracted at the time, so I stabbed him in the shoulder with the dagger the patriarch gave me... It was coated with poison, and the patriarch said that if he was wounded by the dagger, he would surely die! I didn't care about anything else and just let him fend for himself..."
Wang Shengan recalled the scene at the time, glancing at the three men from time to time, afraid that they might regret the bad things he had done.
"As for the beast I mentioned, it is his contracted spirit beast, an ice deer."
“That beast was someone I rescued when I was a child. After I stabbed him, the beast went mad. Later, I was trapped here and couldn't get out. After that beast found me, it kept torturing me, and it could even create other beasts…”
According to Wang Shengan, the Frost Deer was agitated by the city lord's death, and the green liquid further aggravated its frenzy.
In this way, many fragmented things can be overlapped.
The city lord's daughter is right.
Neither of the Wang brothers returned. The Wang family probably never expected that their seemingly foolproof plan would be infiltrated by an unknown third party.
“Let’s go find that Frost Deer.” As promised, Tianning treated part of Wang Shengan’s illness.
"Are you crazy?"
Wang Shengan was unwilling: "That beast is someone you can't afford to mess with now!"
He emphasized, "I will not lead the way for you!"
Tian Ning was speechless: "There's only one path through this cave, do you really need to lead the way?"
The further you go, the more dangerous it becomes; the Frost Deer must be deep within this cave.
Wang Shengan: "..."
Realizing that this group of people were courting death, Wang Shengan had no intention of going in with the three of them. Besides, that beast would go crazy every time he saw him, saying that he was the culprit who killed the city lord and would do everything he could to torture him!
Wang Shengan chose to stay where he was, watching Tian Ning and the others go inside.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Tianning to treat him a few more times...
Tian Ning and his companions continued forward, and the further they went, the more ice crystals they discovered.
It appears that the ice crystals were used to seal something, but the excessive mining by the residents of Snow City broke the seal, giving the thing inside an opportunity to escape.
Just as guessed, the deepest ice crystal had countless cracks, and the green liquid seeping out from it had long since gathered in the center to form a small pond, in which some dying spirit beasts were soaking.
It chirped a few times, gesturing for Tianning to look at the snowbird struggling in the corner.
Tian Ning was about to take something out of his mustard seed bag and scoop the spirit beasts out of the green liquid.
A monster twice the size of a normal deer emerged from the shadows opposite them.
"Get out!"
The monster didn't open its mouth, but it made a human-like sound.
It has horns on its head, and disgusting, sticky tentacles grow from its rotting flesh. The tips of the tentacles are like the mouth of an alien, with sharp teeth, and they are constantly dripping a green liquid like saliva.
"Could that be the city lord's contracted beast...?" Long Aotian said in disbelief.
The ordinary frost deer has fur as white as snow, and antlers like shimmering blue crystals, making it as beautiful as a snow sprite.
But the monster before them was a completely corrupted spirit beast, probably devoid of any reason whatsoever...
Seeing that its warning had no effect, the monster became somewhat enraged and immediately created some spirit beasts to deal with the three of them. However, when it looked at Jiang Xi, it seemed to have noticed her, and its originally crimson eyes instantly turned filled with murderous intent.
"Thief! Thief! You're the thief who stole his things!"
It mistook Jiangxi for someone else and wished it could tear them to pieces immediately!
