Chapter 690: Chapter 57: Iceberg Mountain Lord (4/5)

"Lei Yan... lost?"

The banquet hall at a hotel in the imperial capital was brightly lit, where dozens of well-dressed men and women appeared somewhat at a loss as they watched the footage of Lei Yan being escorted into a government car; the two cross-hilt military swords protruding through his body made them feel as if they had a sword hanging over their heads, restless and uncomfortable.

The middle-aged man at the head of the table had a face that changed colors, seemingly unable to believe that Lei Yan, whom he had strongly supported, had come to such an end.

At that moment, a woman in an evening gown with delicate makeup lightly applied to her face spoke up, "If there’s nothing else, I think I’ll take my leave."

After speaking, she linked arms with the man beside her and walked toward the door. Just as she was about to push the door open, she suddenly added, "I am honored to have received Mr. Li’s dinner invitation ’personally.’"

The woman intentionally stressed the word "personally," then left the hall.

Seeing this, the others snapped out of their trance and hurriedly got up to bid their farewells, albeit each one making a point to indicate their ’personal attendance’ like the rest, which was very embarrassing for this ’Mr. Li.’

Soon, the hall was empty except for the "Mr. Li" with an unsightly complexion.

"Damn it!"

He violently smashed the wine glass in his hand onto the ground, where the crystalline fragments shimmered faintly in the spilled red wine.

Ding-ling-ling!

Mr. Li picked up the phone irritably, but his face turned somewhat pale at the sight of the caller ID.

After answering, he greeted cautiously, "Patriarch."

A magnetic male voice came through the phone, "Mmm, Changqing, how did things go?"

Li Changqing opened his mouth, "Patriarch, Lei Yan is finished, and today I invited the executives of all the companies involved in the ’Pioneer Station’ project. But after they saw Lei Yan fail, all of them..."

Hearing Li Changqing’s words, there was no response from the other end of the phone; the silence in the hall was eerie.

Li Changqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Patriarch, please... give me another chance. I will make sure this time..."

"Enough, the plan to divide the Daxia officials and civilian Combat Training Masters was always a long-term strategy. If Lei Yan is finished, so be it. He’s just a pawn," the magnetic voice said with a hint of concern, "As long as you are safe, Changqing, that’s all that matters to me."

Hearing this, Li Changqing was emotionally moved, his eyes red as he choked up, "Patriarch..."

The man on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Alright, you’re grown up and still cry like a child. By the way, I do have something for you to take care of."

Li Changqing brightened, as if invigorated, "Just tell me what it is, Patriarch. If I make a mistake this time, I, Li Changqing, will take full responsibility."

"Collect information on the Duke’s blue humanoid pet. The more details, the better..."

...

"Roar~"

The dragon-like cry echoed above the Ancient Biological Research Institute, where several firelights quickly converged to intercept. But when they realized it was Chen Yixin’s Ice Armor Winged Dragon, they scattered again.

The Institute, still brightly lit at night, had Fire Phoenix Pheasants conducting patrol duties, and security measures had been significantly tightened compared to a few years ago.

The Institute, structured in a grid, was enveloped by a protective shield. In each of the four corners sat an odd Tomb Guardian Beast, each one still as a statue, save for the faint gleam in their eyes.

Hearing the distant dragon’s cry, the staff in charge of the Tomb Guardian Beasts quickly jumped up from their chairs, pulled out a bronze token, and waved it in front of the beasts. The semi-transparent shield slowly dissipated.

Boom!

The Ice Armor Winged Dragon, wrapped in a violent cold current, rushed straight towards the courtyard in the center of the Ancient Biological Research Institute, causing the Tomb Guardian Beasts to be covered with white frost from its biting chill.

Just before crashing into the ground, the Ice Armor Winged Dragon abruptly spread its wings and landed smoothly.

Cold.

Shao Zifeng felt extremely cold around him. Looking up, all he saw was a blanket of white. The outer glass walls were covered in frost, barely revealing the outlines and lights of the buildings outside.

The vent at the top of the glass wall was spraying snowflakes and a cold wind, making him feel as if he had returned to Antarctica.

"Roar~"

An excited roar came from atop a small iceberg, as a pure-white beast joyfully pounced toward the Ice Armor Winged Dragon like a little kitten.

Mid-charge, the blue pupils of the white beast suddenly constricted, and its body came to an abrupt halt as if slamming on the brakes. Due to the strong inertia, its body slid a significant distance, with the snow piled up beside its paws spraying up like waves and landing on it, making it look somewhat disheveled.

Shao Zifeng’s eyes lit up, and he watched the furry beast with a beaming smile, "Little White, is it? Long time no see."

"Whimper..."

The beast lay with its whole body in the snow nest, its blue eyes warily watching Shao Zifeng, its facial skin wrinkled, baring teeth that gleamed with a cold light as it let out an intimidating growl.

Shao Zifeng was unfazed by its hostility, taking a keen interest in the first revived ancient creature in the world.

But the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief at the information that appeared before him.

[Name]: Iceberg Mountain Lord

[Explanation]: The ancient Saber-toothed Tiger was a Metal-element Mutant Creature. During the million years it was entombed in ice, a vast amount of Ice elements seeped into its body, causing the acquired Ice attribute to suppress the original Metal attribute. Later on, by using a large amount of ’Coldwind Ice Marrow,’ the Ice attribute was purified and strengthened, completely suppressing the original main attribute. Through the accumulation of a massive amount of resources, the strength of the Iceberg Mountain Lord was greatly enhanced.

Rank... Rank 8.

Seeing the glaring Rank 8 on the screen, Shao Zifeng’s breathing grew slightly rapid.

When he saw the string of Inheritance Skills in the skill column, Shao Zifeng felt his eyes were almost blinded by their brilliance.

The last time he saw this little guy, it was only at Rank 3, far behind the Rank 6 Qiuqiu, yet in just a short three years, its strength had already risen to Rank 8.

If it weren’t for the limits of its aptitude, Shao Zifeng could hardly imagine the extent to which it could improve.
