Chapter 2161
byIn the wind and snow, Yang Kai stood in place and waited for a full three hours before Liu Yan returned from that ice peak.
Seeing her mysterious expression, Yang Kai couldn’t help but be intrigued and asked, “What did you do over there？”
Liu Yan didn’t answer but instead said to the side, “Come out, don’t be afraid！”
There was nothing in the place where her gaze was directed.
Yang Kai was Stunned (astonished), but he also knew that Liu Yan probably wouldn’t play tricks on him, so he held his breath and carefully observed that place.
Unfortunately, he still found nothing. Liu Yan said helplessly, “Master, wait a moment. It seems to be still a little timid. I’ll talk to it.”
After saying that, Liuyan crouched down, her beautiful eyes staring at the area beneath the snow, her spiritual thoughts surging, as if she was having some sort of communication with someone.
There was no response for a long while, and Liuyan suddenly became a bit annoyed. Her expression darkened, and she said coldly, “If you don’t come out again, I’ll melt you！”
As soon as the words fell, a bulge suddenly appeared on the flat snow, as if something was emerging from beneath.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but widen his eyes to observe, secretly marveling.
Not long after, the snow burst and flew out, and an object suddenly shot out from beneath the snow, turning into a stream of light and dancing non-stop in mid-air.
Although its speed was fast, Yang Kai could still see it clearly.
This was actually a snowflake the size of a palm！
However, this snowflake was completely different from ordinary snowflakes. It seemed to possess a certain spirituality and have its own thoughts. Not only that, but there were also flame-like patterns emerging on its body surface, constantly burning distorting the surrounding air.
“What is this… thing？” Yang Kai’s eyes almost popped out, and he asked in surprise.
Liuyan said, “I’m not too sure either, but it should be something similar to my original body！”
As she spoke, she hooked her finger at the snowflake, and the flying snowflake immediately settled down and drifted in front of her, but no matter what it didn’t dare to get too close.
Yang Kai looked at this snowflake with great interest and suddenly found that at its center. There was actually a trace of the features. Although not very clear, it was undoubtedly the features.
“A natural wonder？” Yang Kai shouted in a low voice.
This snowflake was probably a wonder created by the special environment of the Winter Region over the years. Under the whole heaven, I’m afraid no one knows exactly what kind of existence it is.
“Sort of.” Liu Yan nodded. “But it can also be regarded as a kind of ice flame！ If not, I wouldn’t be able to sense its existence.”
Hearing her say this, Yang Kai immediately understood.
Liu Yan was originally the spirit of a weapon taking form. She devoured all kinds of strange fires between heaven and earth. The essence of this snowflake was probably also a kind of strange fire between heaven and earth, so there was an inexplicable Induction between Liu Yan and it…
It was just that one was cold and the other was hot, and they were mutually restraining each other. So this little snowflake didn’t dare to approach Liu Yan at all and was extremely afraid of her.
“You brought it here… What do you want to do？” Yang Kai asked strangely.
Logically speaking, Liu Yan could completely devour this kind of ice flame. Although the opponent’s attribute was ice-cold, it had already given birth to spiritual wisdom. It would have a great effect on Liu Yan’s growth.
But she didn’t have the intention of devouring it. Instead, she deliberately brought it in front of Yang Kai, which meant that Liu Yan didn’t want to enhance her own strength with it to.
“It’s very familiar with this place. We can let it help us find things！” Liu Yan smiled slightly.
“Good idea！” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
But Liu Yan furrowed her brows and said, “However… its intelligence is very limited, and it’s very difficult to communicate with it. I don’t know if it can be of any use.”
“It’s always better than me looking aimlessly like this.” Yang Kai grinned and said, “As for its use, we’ll know after trying.”
While speaking, he looked at the snowflake with a gentle gaze and said, “There are some good things here. Take me to find them.”
The little snowflake remained unmoved and quietly hover in mid-air.
Yang Kai had an embarrassed expression on his face and looked at Liu Yan, saying, “Can’t it understand？”
Liu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “It has never seen a living person before. How could it understand human language？ My communication with it can only rely on spiritual thoughts.”
As she spoke like this, Liu Yan’s spiritual thoughts suddenly surged and were transmitted towards the little snowflake.
This time, the other party obviously understood something. It swayed slightly in mid-air and then suddenly shot off in one direction.
Yang Kai and Liu Yan looked at each other and immediately followed.
Moments later, under the guidance of the little snowflake, Yang Kai and Liu Yan came to a valley together. On a certain patch of snow, the little snowflake stopped and continuously circled around a certain place.
“There should be some good things here！” Liu Yan said.
“We’ll know after taking a look.” While speaking, Yang Kai had already taken action. As his source power was activated, the snow in that area flew away.
After a stick of incense, a huge pit appeared in the original place, and Yang Kai buried his head and searched below.
A moment later, he jumped out with a happy face, and there was an ice-like spiritual grass in his hand.
“Not bad, not bad！” Yang Kai’s face was filled with smiles, and he looked at the little snowflake approvingly. “It’s really useful. It’s much better than my blind search.”
As if understanding Yang Kai’s praise, the little snowflake actually flew around Yang Kai several times at high speed, and then landed on his shoulder. The blurry facial marks on its face showed a happy expression.
Seeing this situation, Yang Kai immediately understood that the other party’s thinking should be very simple. After all, it was born in this Winter Region and had never come into contact with other living beings. Its spiritual world was as pure and flawless as a blank sheet of paper. Otherwise, how could a random compliment make it so happy？
“Do a good job, or I’m melting you!” Liu Yan sang the black face in a timely manner, her pretty face was cold and the killing intent was obviously released. The little snowflake was so scared that it trembled and hid behind Yang Kai, clinging to his shoulder and showing a corner, looking at Liu Yan timidly.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but glare at Liu Yan, and the latter stuck out her fragrant tongue at him. When their eyes met, everything was understood without words.
A moment later, Yang Kai’s eyes rolled and said, “Let it take me to find the most precious thing here. If there are any treasures along the way, don’t let them go either.”
Liu Yan nodded, released her spiritual thoughts, and conveyed Yang Kai’s meaning.
Upon receiving the order, Little Snowflake immediately rushed out and led the way ahead.
With this kind of natural wonder leading the way, Yang Kai really saved a lot of trouble. He didn’t need to deliberately search for anything at all. In this snowfield, as long as there were any natural treasures, they couldn’t escape Little Snowflake’s detection. As long as it circled a few times in a certain place, Yang Kai would know that there must be good things under the snow.
Along the way, Yang Kai’s spatial ring had many more ice-attribute spiritual grasses and strange grasses, and they were all at the Dao Source level, and there were even Emperor-level spiritual grasses.
The special environment of the Winter Region created good growth conditions. Many spiritual grasses and wonderful medicines had not been discovered since their birth until now, and under the guidance of Little Snowflake, they were taken into Yang Kai’s pocket.
No matter which kind of spiritual grass or wonderful medicine, the age of the medicine was at least ten thousand years old！
Yang Kai’s harvest was huge！
And with the contact along the way, Little Snowflake seemed to gradually become familiar with Yang Kai and was no longer as timid as at the beginning. It was like a newly born child, full of extremely strong curiosity about a living being like Yang Kai. It would circle around him from time to time and observe Yang Kai from a special angle.
However… because Liu Yan has always played the role of the bad guy along the way, threatening from time to time, Little Snowflake naturally keeps her at a respectful distance. It dare not approach within ten zhang of the place where Liu Yan appears.
As a result, Yang Kai and Liu Yan have to keep a certain distance apart.
Although the harvest is quite a lot, what makes Yang Kai a little disappointed is that he didn’t get the Tribulation Bitter Fruit！
He has obtained several things that are rarer than the Tribulation Bitter Fruit, but the thing he wants most still hasn’t been seen.
He also knows that this kind of thing can’t be rushed, and can only take things as they come.
A few days later, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
Not far in front of him, there actually appeared a glittering lake. This lake covers a large area, about several dozen mu. It is surrounded by high mountains and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
What surprises him extremely is that such a lake shows no sign of freezing.
The goose-feather-like heavy snow falls from the sky and melts as soon as it touches the lake surface, as if the lake has some magical power that makes it never freeze due to the cold.
The water surface is extremely clear, and Yang Kai can even see some strange fish swimming freely underwater.
However, judging from the big mouths full of fangs of these fish, they are obviously not easy to mess with.
And when it reached this place, the little snowflake no longer advanced. It kept fluttering around Yang Kai, and from within it, a strange emotion was transmitted even more.
After being in contact for so long, Yang Kai had also learned to guess its thoughts through its actions. So, upon seeing it like this, Yang Kai asked thoughtfully, “You mean to say that the most precious thing is at the bottom of the lake？”
As soon as these words came out, the little snowflake immediately floated up and down, just like nodding.
Yang Kai was certain and nodded, saying, “I’ll go take a look！”
“Master, be extremely careful！” Liu Yan exhorted with concern.
Yang Kai nodded, his figure leaped forward. After reaching above the lake, he observed left and right for a while before diving straight down and rushing into the lake water.
A martial artist like him had no need to worry at all that his clothes would be wet by the lake water. As long as he activated his Source Power to form a protection on the surface of his body, he could move freely underwater.
The might of the Dao Source Realm spread out, and the surrounding fish scattered in all directions like birds and beasts.
Although the fish at the bottom of this lake looked ferocious and terrifying, they actually didn’t have much strength and naturally didn’t dare to approach.
The little snowflake didn’t follow over, so Yang Kai also didn’t know exactly where the so-called most precious thing was. However, it should be right to go towards the center. So, while he was investigating the surrounding environment, he swam towards the center of the lake.
On the shore, Liu Yan watched quietly, her beautiful eyes always fixed on the direction where Yang Kai was. She was ready to go and support him at any sign of trouble. And Little Snowflake was hovering at a position more than ten zhang away from her. Its vague facial features showed a look of full worry. From time to time, it would flutter a few times uneasily.
