Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Soul Fish
Peng Fei and the other two didn’t follow along, it seems they flew off in another direction.
When the four of them stopped, they realized they had reached the Land of Extreme Ice and Snow, with a vast expanse of white beneath them, surrounded by towering, snow-capped mountains.
The four of them landed slowly.
"Actually, if we had joined forces just now, we might have had a chance to win," Zhang Zheng said.
"Stop and save those two?" Ye Chen asked with some displeasure.
Zhang Zheng nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Sorry, I’m not interested in saving those two. Saving them would be more painful than my own death."
Ye Chen said coldly.
Zhang Zheng was momentarily speechless.
"Brother Ye Chen, are we going back to the Thousand Stars Forest?" Jia Mu, whose body was trembling slightly, clearly not used to the cold temperature, asked.
"We don’t plan to go back for now; we want to explore here. If you’re not comfortable, you can go back first."
Jia Mu, being of the Wood Attribute, had always lived in the Thousand Stars Forest, so she naturally wasn’t accustomed to suddenly being in this Land of Extreme Ice and Snow.
But Jia Mu shook her head and said, "It’s okay, I’ll just change my clothes."
Saying that, Jia Mu waved her hand, changing her original green gauze dress into a fluffy white robe.
Jia Mu rubbed her jade hands and giggled, "Hehe, now it’s not cold anymore."
Ye Chen noticed that the outfit Jia Mu was wearing was not just simple clothing; at least it was a Five Stars Epic Level Defense Set.
This surprised Ye Chen somewhat, considering Jia Mu was only Level 30; even a Lord-level creature shouldn’t have such luxurious gear.
Moreover, Jia Mu’s weapon was also extraordinary, at least a Five Stars Epic Level Weapon.
"Okay, as long as you’re fine. If you decide not to continue, I’ll take you back."
"It’s fine!" Jia Mu shook her head, saying.
For some reason, she really wanted to spend more time with Ye Chen.
The four of them braved the cold wind, heading towards the snowy mountains.
Barren, vast snow continued to fall, the snow depth already reaching knee-high.
Genggeng walked for a while but couldn’t move anymore, flapping its wings and hovering beside Ye Chen.
It was just too short and small; the snow was already up to its waist.
Three hours later, they finally crossed this snowy field and reached the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the majestic snow-covered mountains, their height surpassed that of Mount Everest.
Between the mountain group was an entrance about five meters wide.
Reaching the entrance, the group proceeded cautiously inside.
After an unknown period, Ye Chen and his group finally reached within the mountains.
As soon as they entered, several pairs of bright red eyes stared at Ye Chen and his group.
Five white-furred ice wolves bared their teeth, with red eyes fixed on Ye Chen and his group.

The five ice wolves lunged at Ye Chen and his group instantly.
The three of them attacked simultaneously, and without much effort, they slaughtered all five ice wolves.
Ye Chen alone killed three of them.
Gained 18,000 Experience Points.
Collected various materials and got three.
The five creatures didn’t drop anything useful, and Ye Chen and his group continued to explore further.
Genggeng suddenly stopped at the spot and landed.
Standing on the snow, it stomped hard with its feet.
"What’s wrong?"
Genggeng said while stomping, "There’s something under here!"
Ye Chen approached and drew out the Thunder Shocking Blade, slashing at the snow’s surface.
Instantly, the thick layers of snow were blown away.
"Hmm!"
The group was startled; beneath the snow was a layer of ice, and below the ice lay a hidden world.
Underneath was another world, seemingly devoid of any snow or ice!
"This! There’s another world down below!" Zhang Zheng exclaimed in surprise.
"I didn’t expect there to be a hidden world here!" Hong Ye marveled.
Ye Chen instructed the others to step back.
He continued slashing at the ice surface, and after ten or so strikes, he managed to create an opening in the ice.
Ye Chen was the first to jump down, with Hong Ye and the others following closely behind.
Upon descending, they immediately felt that the temperature here was significantly warmer than above.
Various plants thrived here, along with numerous creatures.
The environment here was even more vibrant than the Thousand Stars Forest.
Hong Ye chuckled, "I feel like this looks more like a forest."
Jia Mu excitedly said, "Yeah, it’s more vibrant than the Thousand Stars Forest, and there are so many creatures I’ve never seen before."
"Not necessarily, we haven’t even been to the inner side of the Thousand Stars Forest; I believe the inner side would be far more vibrant than the perimeter."
"That’s true!"
Close by, they noticed a corpse of a pig-shaped creature lying on the ground.
"Ye Chen, look there!"
Zhang Zheng pointed to the corpse.
Ye Chen approached, squatting down to examine the body and noticing distinct knife wounds on its neck.
"Someone must have been here."
"Hmm? Someone has been here? Could it be Xiang Yin’s group?"
"Very likely! These injuries clearly resulted from human intervention."
Hong Ye nodded and said, "That’s not surprising; we initially headed in the opposite direction to Xiang Yin’s group, so it’s normal if they ended up in the Land of Extreme Ice and Snow."
Ye Chen glanced upwards at the opening, now sealed, with thick snow above visible through the ice layer.
"Let’s continue, they’ve probably scavenged everything along the way," Ye Chen said, moving forward.
Half an hour later, a black river blocked their path.
The black river was bottomless; the water flowed towards the right, but where it led remained unknown.
Suddenly, Genggeng splashed into the water.
"Genggeng, what are you doing!"
Floating in the water, Genggeng called out, "Boss, wait for me! I’ll be right back!"
After saying that, Genggeng dove into the water.
Ye Chen had no choice but to wait in place.
"Genggeng always does unexpected things," Zhang Zheng chuckled.
"Fool," Ye Chen said helplessly.
An hour later, Genggeng finally resurfaced, holding something in its hands.
The thing shouted, "Let go of me, let go of me! I’m afraid of water!"
Genggeng smacked the thing on the head and jumped ashore.

Tier Four Race, Medium Tier.
The Soul Fish was quite plump, with eyes as big as lanterns. Its eyes took up half of its face.
The Soul Fish was similar in size to Genggeng, slightly smaller even.
Genggeng tossed the Soul Fish to the ground, placed its hands on its hips, and said angrily, "Why are you being difficult? Spit out the stuff!"
Frowning, Ye Chen asked, "Genggeng, what’s going on?"
Genggeng huffed and replied angrily, "Ask him!"
