Chapter 302.1: Why Do You Seem To Look So Sad
“That is just too unbelievable. Are they….. Dead?”
A young man with a handsome countenance took a couple of steps closer, and then muttered in a soft voice.
He arched his head back to peer inquisitively at the massive snow lion, before he stretched a hand out tentatively to go touch it, only to feel a rock hard layer of ice under his fingers.
The man was taken aback for a while and then shook his head as he found it rather funny. Why does he have this strange feeling that these spirit beasts are still alive?
His companions who had gone on ahead called out to him and the man immediately went on to catch up to them, no longer paying the frozen spirit beasts any attention.
However, after everyone had walked far away from there, it was not known whether it was an illusion but the deep brown eyes that were as big as bronze bells snow on the snow lion encased in ice suddenly seemed to blink once, and there was no more movement after that.
Qing Ye Li and his gang were walking right at the back. There were several among them who were not human and their senses were more sensitive than the humans.
That was especially the case for Qing Ye Li. From the moment he had set foot into this place, his nerves had been tense and highly on edge. For just a very brief instant just now, he seemed to have faintly felt a strange aura, which made him feel rather uneasy.
His brows slowly furrowed together, and his voice came out in a low tone. “Everyone be on your guard.”
The first obstacle had already been so difficult, and moreover they were now within the Mind Free Peak’s territory, so they would have to be even more careful and wary. They must not let down their guard, not in the slightest.

“Can you remember the route you took when you came out?”
Carrying the tiny furry ball in his arms, Lou Jun Yao lowered his head to look down and ask in a soft voice.
Logically speaking, spirit beasts would usually be stronger than humans with some of their abilities. For example, they possess a highly precise and accurate sense of direction that would put most humans to shame, or the ability to track down things that they seek through the use of scent and aura.
However, Meatball just shook its head with an innocent expression on its face at that place. “I can only remember that the place that Mother is at was within a stretch of woods with very tall trees, and the ground was very low, which concealed the place very well, making it very hard to be discovered.”
“Woods?” When Qing Bei standing at the side heard that, his brows immediately knitted up. He then asked in a quizzical voice: “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? The landscape around us is all ice, stretching as far as the eye can see in all directions and the temperature is so bitterly cold there isn’t a sliver of colour anywhere. How could trees possibly grow in such severe and harsh weather conditions…..”
“I remember it very clearly. The woods were just outside the place. The trees were completely white like snow, both its leaves and trunk, which would blend in perfectly with the landscape we see here.”
