Chapter 519: Chapter 519: A Situation Unlike Before
As for how Ivica and her team are doing, aside from the Spirit Race, no one really knows.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Race isn’t interested in them either.
Ivica intercepted some Star Charts, which were also reclaimed by the Spirit Race.
As for how they’re faring and what their ending will be, we might only know after the 500 days challenge is over. Of course, perhaps no one will ever know.
This Spirit Blue Star is too vast, a hundred times bigger than human planets.
If it weren’t for positioning, finding several hundred people on such a planet would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
While Lei Jie and Jerry were chatting, Lu Ke and Qin Fan were checking for dangers near the Snow Valley. After all, this trade benefited them quite a bit.
Anyway, with Li Kang in the Snow Valley, protecting those who got eliminated should still be doable.
After more than an hour of checking, they saw Xu Yi riding a Fierce Beast and driving a few similar ones back.
"Xu Yi, at first glance, this Fierce Beast really looks like a mammoth," said Wang Jin, stepping up to touch one and finding its grayish-white fur soft and warm.
"Indeed, that’s what I thought at first too," Xu Yi replied with a smile.
Driven by curiosity, the others watched Xu Yi as he drove these Fierce Beasts into the Snow Valley.
No one expected Xu Yi to be so fast, returning with the Fierce Beasts in just over two hours, and they seemed to be tamed.
In the Snow Valley, tents had already been set up one by one.
Obviously, they had already established their camp.
Seeing Xu Yi return with the Fierce Beasts, they immediately surrounded him.
"Besides discovering these Fierce Beasts, I also found this type of plant, which can probably be used as vegetables. It’s also the food for these Fierce Beasts," Xu Yi said, taking out some pale green plants that looked a bit like bok choy but with thicker leaves.
"That’s great. With vegetables, we have more hope of holding out here for a hundred days," Jiang Ming said happily, feeling particularly grateful to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi nodded and, upon hearing the sound of lightning, immediately flew up to the sky.
It must be because Lightning encountered some Fierce Beast and came back to inform him.
Flying towards Lightning, Xu Yi once again stood on Lightning’s back.
After a swift flight, Xu Yi saw two Fierce Beasts.
Here, the Fierce Beasts have relatively long fur, perhaps due to the low temperatures. After all, they need to withstand the cold.
Additionally, they are gray, making them hard to spot from a distance. Particularly, the naked eye can easily overlook them.
Approaching quickly, Xu Yi used his skills to tame these two Fierce Beasts.
Then, riding a Fierce Beast, he returned again, while Lightning continued to search for other Fierce Beasts.
Originally, Xu Yi thought the number of Fierce Beasts here should be similar to their previous challenge area, where they were relatively rare.
But in fact, the Fierce Beasts on this snowfield are relatively common, and the two he just encountered are carnivorous and are considered to be social animals. One male and one female, and the female has been pregnant for a while.
This indicates they have lived together for quite some time.
In other words, the situation here is very different from the places they’ve stayed before.
Of course, how would Xu Yi and the others know that the area they previously challenged had been cleared out by the Spirit Race?
Now they are in a brand-new place, untouched by the Spirit Race, which can be considered a primitive area. So, the way of life of the Fierce Beasts here is the original mode.
Before returning, Xu Yi discovered that Lightning had found more Fierce Beasts.
So, Xu Yi placed Star Charts on these two Fierce Beasts, then flew with Lightning towards the new target. This way, if, when Xu Yi returned, these two Fierce Beasts disappeared, he could use the map function to track them down.
Lightning hadn’t traveled far; it only took about ten minutes to reach the new location.
These three Fierce Beasts were different from the ones Xu Yi just tamed, but they were also carnivorous and looked very fierce.
Unfortunately, Xu Yi is a Level 5 Mage, making it too easy to deal with them.
A few minutes later, Xu Yi was riding a Fierce Beast and driving its companions to find the previous two Fierce Beasts.
Xu Yi let Lightning follow along the way back; if they encounter any other Fierce Beasts along the way, they would tame them too. If not, then this would be enough.
This snowfield is considered the territory of Level 4 Fierce Beasts, and those eliminated here should be able to train quickly.
On the way back, Lightning didn’t find any other Fierce Beasts.
However, to those who were eliminated, Xu Yi’s efficiency is frighteningly high.
In less than five hours, Xu Yi rounded up 11 Fierce Beasts. Among them, 5 were carnivorous, and 4 of the remaining 6 were usable. The two smaller ones could be raised too.
After all, this is the snowfield; if they manage to make a sled, these 11 Fierce Beasts would be enough for 33 people.
"Jiang Ming, the situation here is different from before. There are a lot more Fierce Beasts here, and the ones I’ve encountered are all social. So, you need to be very careful," Xu Yi emphasized to Jiang Ming while handing over the Fierce Beasts.
"Yes, we’ll try to stay in the Snow Valley to train. Among us, there are 3 Level 3 Mages; if we train hard, we can still break through to Level 4. Plus, with these mount protectors, we should be okay."
This is why Jiang Ming and his team need Xu Yi’s cooperation; Fierce Beasts mean combat power, and they can at least ensure safety in the early stages.
Xu Yi knew it would be hard to change their thinking.
"You can keep these 5 Star Charts," Xu Yi said, taking out five of them and placing them in Jiang Ming’s hand, then giving him a pat.
Jiang Ming nodded, feeling deeply moved.
"Off we go, take care of yourselves," Xu Yi put away the Star Charts into a satchel and then left directly.
They must move forward as quickly as possible to the territory of Level 5 Fierce Beasts so that Lu Ke and his team might reach Level 5.
What lies ahead is still unknown.
But it certainly won’t be a pleasant journey.
Just as Xu Yi and his team left, Jerry and his team immediately followed. Jerry had the least resources, so he needed to stick close to them.
Although Li Kang and Lei Jie had more resources, there was no way they could help him.
Over a hundred people sprinted across the snow.
"Leaving no trace in the snow" describes precisely this situation.
As they sprinted, they left no signs behind.
This reliance on telekinesis for running prevented their bodies from sinking in.
However, this greatly consumed their telekinesis.
So, it was not just about covering distance; it was also a form of training.
