Chapter 103 – Ice Serpent
"Way to go Wren," Camilla happily shouted from above.
Wren threw a glare at Shuri and continued climbing up. These kinds of humans need to know their place or else they will try their best to push you down. Literally.
He had been careless just a moment ago, that boulder could have easily pushed him off this bloody cliff.
Not only his life was at stake, but even his mate's life was also in his hands.
Wren peered up. The icy mountain top did not look like it had an end to it. clouds shrouded all around them.
Visibility was reducing and the air was getting very hard to breathe in.
Wren panted loudly. His hands were already in a very bad state. Now and then he would stop and place a hand inside his shirt, warming his fingertip with Feng's warmth.
But his feet could not have the same treatment. He could not feel the tip of his toes.
Wren glanced around. He was not the only one in this state, even the ones from Atul family and Sheli family were panting.
Only that white-clothed cultivator looked flawless. He was not even breaking a sweat and his speed of climbing up was very steady.
Wren was slightly envious. 'Gosh I wanted to show my cool side to Feng and here I am panting like an idiot,'
He paused for a second to flex his legs. His veins were definitely frozen and the blood supply was getting low.
Suddenly he felt killing intent focused on him.
Instinctively, he jumped and moved to eth right. The place ice shard he was just holding crumbled and a huge white snake pushed out.
Its scales were white as snow and its eyes were red like a lobster.
Wren carefully held the icy wall with one hand and grabbed his sword in another.
The huge snake looked at him, swishing his forked tongue out. He did not know what it saw but suddenly t changed direction and attacked the Atul family students.
"Look out! ice serpent!!!"
Wren took this change to swiftly climb up and away from its attack range.
The snake was not fully crawling out of its hole and only attaching with its head out.
"It looks yummy,"' Feng suddenly whispered from inside his shirt.
Wren paused. "you want to eat it?"
"hmm.. they taste good. You don't even have to cook them up. ah Mu Zheng once caught me one. I ate it as sushi for three days. It was heavenly…"
He gritted his teeth. 'Mu Zheng again….'
He started to climb down.
"What are you doing?" Feng glanced u at him. "' Wren why are you going down,"
"I'm getting you that serpent,"
"Silly, go up!" Feng whisper shouted. "its too dangerous. Mu Zheng is powerful!"
"I'm powerful too! Have some confidence," Wren glanced at him. "and I'm your mate. I wish to feed you things you love. And that snake is my prey."
Wren took out a scarf from his pouch and tied it criss-cross around his chest like a seat belt for his little mate. With his sword in hand, he swiftly climbed down.
He was right on top of that snake's nest.
He watched as the snake capture the stud nest and eat them whole.
Only the chilling sounds of bones crushing could be heard.
Wren waited…
"Wren, come up here. It's dangerous!" Camilla shouted from above.
"It's okay. I've got this," Wren watched as the snake move towards Shuri.
Just as it got to him, it exposed a part of its neck.
Wren took this chance to slice at it.
But to his surprise, his sword only made a small dent on its thick scales.
"hisssssss!!!!" the snake sounded very pissed. It turned over to him and banged its heavy head.
Wren escaped with difficulty. He slashed it with his sword once again but it did not leave any damage on it.
"Use your spiritual energy!" fang shouted. "Your sword needs it!"
He immediately enveloped his sword his spiritual energy. The blue sword started to glow bright red with flames flying out of it.
The nearby clouds receded from the heat.
Wren was standing on a small protruding rock staring at the snake face to face.
Upon closer look, he noticed that its head looked too bony. This snake most likely did not get any prey at all for a long time.
The spiritual beasts which does not have a core usually d not attempt to attack humans unless they were desperate.
"can I trap this one?" from his space pouch, he took out a juice piece of steak that Mu Zheng had packed for them.
The refreshing smell of ginger and garlic and pepper filled his senses
Wren cussed inside his mind. 'why is this Mu Zheng so good at everything? Ah I feel so… so much like a kid trying to compete with an adult!'
He stabbed the piece of stake with his sword and waved it at the snake.
The charmed snake gazed at it with his mouth drooling.
'Yeah that's right, come get your food.'
He moved it close. The snake chomped on it.
Wren moved his sword slightly up in a ninety degree angle and stabbed the snake's delicate mouth.
The sword tip came out of the top of the snake's head. Blue blood dripped down his sword, wetting his sleeves.
Wren pulled the sword out and dragged the corpse from its hiding place. The snake was about ten feet long. But it was very bony.
"hmm… doesn't have much meat. Maybe we should make a stew out of it's bones,"
He felt his mate happily peck his nipples.
Storing the huge snake on his space pouch, he glanced up.
The other participants looked at him weirdly.
"what?"
"Wren.. how strong are you?"
Wren confusedly looked at her. "as strong as you?"
"I…. I don't think I can deal with a savage ice serpent like that…." Camilla awkwardly chuckled. Suddenly, her sullen face brightened up. "That's why I really really need your sperm,"
"No," Wren rejected her outright.
"Please?"
"No,"
Wren suddenly paused
Camilla happily climbed close to her. "yes?~"
"shh wait a bit. Don't you hear that?" he peered up ahead of them.
The ice shards were slightly moving. So many whiteheads popped out of the ice wall.
Wren blinked at this. "more sushi?"
"What?!" Camilla shouted. "Wren! We have to escape… they must have left a way for us to survive…."
She hurriedly looked around.
Wren sighed loudly. He drew his sword and was ready to attack.
"Wait! Look over there!" she pointed to their right.
Beyond the smoky cloud, he spotted a small cave-like structure.
Wren hurriedly moved towards it. The others followed behind him.
After everyone got inside Camilla ran to the entrance and threw out a small round metal ball. It glowed brightly, forming a huge shield.
Only the sound of panting echoed in the dark space.
"Wren?"
"yeah…" Wren sat down still having his sword in hand. this must be one of the snake's holes. But the snake inside had long passed, leaving behind its skeletal remains.
"How are we going to move up? The ice serpent will definitely eat us!"
Wren glanced up. Out of the initial sixteen of them, only seven of them were left behind.
And they have yet to reach the top of the mountain at the test site.
This was just the preliminary!
Wren gritted his teeth. this was the first time he realized that he was weak. He could not even deal with a few ice serpents. He could not climb up for more than two hours.
He was fucking weak.
He gently kissed Feng's head. 'who am I going to protect my Feng when I am in this state. What will happen when those searching for me find out.. they will kill Feng too. I.. I don't want that.. I dint know what to do.'
Feng gently licked his lips with his short tongue.
"ah I'm done for," Camilla plopped down, sighing loudly. "do you have any more of that steak? We can try to lure them."
"we can… but how can we get past them?"
At this altitude, it was very difficult to move fast. Plus they were moving up vertically. Tehi stamina was draining and their spiritual energy was getting drained even though they did not use it.
Wren removed his shoe first and started to massage his feet. His toes were frozen stiff.
Warming his hands, he warmed his frozen bits.
Even his crotch was slightly frozen, but he did not publically touch himself.
His mate's body was still warm, and he was lively.
Wren took out the huge snake and started to peal it. the scales were very hard to remove by hand. he used his sword to slash it into smaller pieces and fed it to Feng.
"Wow this is the first time I've ever seen a man use this spiritual sword to cut sushi,"
His mate happily ate out of his hands.
Wren tossed a few into his mouth as well. it tasted not bad. but he did not prefer it much.
After filling his stomach, he laid down to take a nap.
Everyone gave him a weird stare again.
"What? We have a lot more time. It's better to rest for a bit,"
