Chapter 363 Polar Region 4
As the first rays of sunlight fell upon the polar land, the snow hare, having rested overnight, began to move.
A group of older, strong snow hares huddled together, one after another following closely behind, creating a rabbit bridge in the snow cave where there was nowhere else to climb, allowing their companions to exit the cave.
Cheng Jiu opened his eyes. It was a rare peaceful night in the Arctic, and Cheng Jiu had rested very well.
The snow rabbit didn't reject Cheng Jiu, the outsider. On the contrary, seeing that Cheng Jiu had no fur to resist the cold, it took the initiative to come closer and radiate a lot of heat, so Cheng Jiu could rest very comfortably.
Snowshoe hares live in polar regions and usually eat only some weeds hidden in the snow.
The fluff is clean and odorless, making it an excellent material for insulation.
Cheng Jiu subconsciously rubbed the smooth, shiny fur beneath him, and the snow rabbit purred contentedly.
The snow rabbit controlled by Cheng Jiu was clearly also a member of the foraging group today.
Following the rabbit bridge, the snow rabbit leaped out of the snow cave.
A deep blue light shone on Cheng Jiu's face, and large, large pieces of azure crystals, reflecting light and shadow in the sunlight, came into view.
A dazzling, illusory scene, like a dream.
Unlike the human world, these azure crystals are the real stars here, far more so than the endless snow!
This is an eighth-grade Imperial Ice Stone!
So many, and such big pieces!
The clear light emanating from the ice stone shines on people, stirring their emotions!
The eighth-grade Imperial Ice Stone is extremely rare. It is a spiritual stone produced in frigid regions. It feels like holding a piece of metal in your hand and will not melt even after ten thousand years.
Legend has it that a star fell from the sky and landed on Earth, leaving behind a star core that, combined with extremely cold winds, could only form in a very special region.
Its properties are extremely stable, and its ductility is also known for being excellent. It can be used not only for making ice-attribute spiritual artifacts, but also for making other spiritual artifacts. If a little bit of Yuji Ice Stone is added, the stability will be greatly improved, and the compatibility will also be enhanced.
Because the conditions for its formation are too demanding, very few of them have been released to the outside world. They are practically priceless. Even a palm-sized Imperial Ice Stone could be exchanged for a Grade 9 pill!
It's clear how rare this Imperial Ice Stone is!
And there's actually a huge area here!
We're rich! We're rich! We're really rich!
Cheng Jiu's eyes had turned into the shape of spirit stones. During his time in the polar regions, he was either escaping death or traveling.
Along the way, we haven't encountered any valuable resources at all. The only thing that caught our eye was that Flame-Slaying Grass. We're either losing money or on our way to losing money!
But now, if she could dig out all of these Imperial Ice Stones—no, just one piece—she would have made a fortune on this polar trip!
Cheng Jiu rubbed his hands together and walked towards the Spirit-Controlling Ice Stone.
Without the snow blocking its path, the snow hare's speed did not decrease; in fact, because it was on ice, it was even faster.
The fluffy balls darted past Cheng Jiu's feet with a whoosh and disappeared into the enormous Imperial Ice Stone Maze.
After a while, one after another, large dumplings returned carrying crystal-clear ice fruits and poured them into the ice cave entrance.
Providing food for the rabbits that can't get out is also a survival strategy of this group of snow hares living in the Arctic.
Snow hares that go out to forage have an obligation to provide food for the snow hares that guard the house.
The polar snow hare didn't seem like a demon beast to Cheng Jiu at all. Although it seemed clumsy and silly, it had its own unique wisdom for survival.
Cheng Jiu tried his best to cut the stone in front of him. His storage ring couldn't hold it, or rather, it wouldn't fit. It was impossible to plunder the Imperial Ice Stones here like locusts. He could only cut them to a certain size before he could put them into his ring.
Otherwise, if it exceeds the storage ring's capacity, the storage ring will become unusable.
Cheng Jiu tried it, and the storage ring was completely ruined.
Clever tricks won't work; the only thing to do is honestly mine. Fortunately, there's so much here, so there's no rush.
The eighth-grade Imperial Ice Stone is also one of the hardest, especially with the thick ice shell on the outside, its hardness is no different from that of the eternal ice that never melts.
Cheng Jiu spent a great deal of effort to chip away at the scraps, and looked at the Imperial Ice Stone that had rolled to the ground, gleaming with starlight-like light.
Looking at my hands, which were red from the shock.
It seems that the Imperial Ice Stone isn't absolutely necessary?
But seeing a pile of spirit stones in front of him, Cheng Jiu was still very unwilling.
Money falling from the sky is right in front of you; who would be willing to give it up?
While Cheng Jiu was struggling against the Imperial Ice Stone, the snow rabbits were gathering more and more ice crystal fruits, almost piling them up into a small mountain. Among them were many polar specialty herbs that they had dug up from who-knows-where.
There must be a large area of Ice Crystal Fruit trees inside this Imperial Ice Stone. If the Ice Crystal Fruits weren't of such low quality, Cheng Jiu would definitely want to go and take a look.
Instead of struggling with this hard, extreme ice stone here.
I shaved off another small piece, and looking at the still endless Imperial Ice Stone in front of me, I silently cheered myself on! Come on, you can do it!
Cheng Jiu gritted his teeth, his face contorted, and struggled to chisel downwards.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and that was just the beginning for her.
"Squeak, creak!"
Like a thunderclap, the sound of teeth colliding with ice reached Cheng Jiu's ears!
Cheng Jiu looked in the direction of the sound, and his breath caught in his throat!
What came into view was a pair of scarlet eyes, and dust like nebulae spewing from the corners of their mouths.
Even though they were far apart, Cheng Jiu always felt they were very close.
Those Imperial Ice Stones that Cheng Jiu struggled to cut were no different from delicious snacks in front of this spirit beast.
When Cheng Jiu arrived at the polar region, he only saw three giant beasts, but he was still awestruck by them!
They are the true masters of this polar region!
With a single sweep of its claws, the giant beast wiped out a vast expanse of countless Imperial Ice Stones, which piled up into a towering mountain. But even that wasn't enough for the giant beast to devour in just a few bites!
As the giant beast drew closer, Cheng Jiu had no intention of engaging it.
Their enormous size endows them with absolute power, and their cultivation is by no means weak either; in the polar regions, they are the absolute overlords.
Although the snow rabbits remained dazed and silly, they did not panic as the giant beasts approached, and continued to diligently carry food.
Seeing that he had worked so hard for half a day and still had half of the Imperial Ice Stone left, Cheng Jiu decisively gave up and jumped off the stone!
The next moment, the sky darkened, and the black, gelatinous fleshy pad swept past. The spirit-controlling ice stones that Cheng Jiu had previously mined rolled down quickly like ordinary stones and entered the bull's head's food reserves.
The giant beast lowered its head and buried itself in its food. In its eyes, Cheng Jiu was no different from those snow rabbits and posed no threat whatsoever!
"Moo!"
After eating its fill, the giant beast let out a satisfied burp.
The ground trembled violently from the loud burp.
Is this Imperial Ice Stone actually food for this monster?
No wonder there were so many pieces scattered around!
