Chapter 165: Chapter 156 Genius Al_1

"Huff!"

The gate swung open, letting in a gust of cold wind filled with snowflakes. In an instant, the three of them were blanketed in frost.

All of them instinctively raised their hands to shield their faces.

When they looked again, they were met with a vision of a frozen, snow-covered landscape.

A wind blew across the endless plain, stirring up snow flurries.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery light on the vast expanse of white snow, creating an effect akin to mercury pouring onto the ground.

The three of them had not expected that the scene behind the door would be such a snowy night view.

Mu You, holding the magic wand in one hand and chain claws coiled around the other, took the lead and stepped out.

Lin Xue followed, carrying a coffin on her back.

[You have entered the Star Spirit World...]

As he stepped onto the soft snow, a line of text like an explanation popped up deep in Mu You’s mind.

"So, people in the Star Spirit World also get game-like prompts..."

Mu You thought, unsure if this kind of prompt was exclusive to players, or if everyone in the Star Spirit World had them. But now was not the time to dwell on this.

Looking back, he saw the phantom image of a square door standing incongruously in the vast snowy plain. It was as if a rectangle had been opened directly in the air, its inner light illuminating a small patch of ground in front of it. In the vast snowy field, the door appeared lonely and insignificant.

When the door is closed, it cannot be seen in the alternate world. In other words, the door can only be opened and closed from Earth.

"Where is this place...?" Mu You scanned the environment with furrowed brows.

"This is the Northland, a deserted ice plain located outside the northern border of the Lan Ai’er Empire." Vivian explained from her perch on his shoulder, she then jumped into the pocket of his chest to stay warm.

An icy wind blew again, making them shiver involuntarily.

Even Little Ya inside the house stuck her head out, clutching her arms and looking out with wide eyes. However, she dared not set foot outside the door and instead looked back at the other two. "Sister Xue, Boss, do you want me to fetch some clothes for you?"

Mu You and Lin Xue did not answer, but simultaneously looked in a certain direction in the distance.

They had heard a roaring sound coming from there, interjecting the whistle of the northern wind, some near, some far.

A few seconds later, they finally saw the source of the noise.

A large Snow Monster was coming their way, holding a tree trunk whittled into a club in its right hand. It ran towards them as if wielding a baseball bat. Every step it took caused vibrations on the ground.

"It’s a Pine Forest Snow Monster!" Vivian announced gravely.

"A Pine Forest Snow Monster?"

Mu You was taken aback; the pelts of Pine Forest Snow Monsters were magic medicine materials, as noted in Vivian’s records.

That’s why he found it odd. According to the records, Pine Forest Snow Monsters lived in coniferous pine forests all year round. They would not leave the forest under normal circumstances, so why was one appearing in this snowy plain?

There was no time to think more about it, as the Snow Monster was rapidly approaching them.

"You two, stay back!"

Mu You yelled at Lin Xue and Little Ya, then charged towards the approaching Snow Monster.

Since the gate was here, and it was open and could not be closed for 24 hours, he had to figure out a way to lure the Snow Monster away.

When they were about a hundred meters apart, Mu You leapt into the air. While airborne, he quickly drew his bow and let loose an arrow glimmering with red light at the Snow Monster.

The Snow Monster either didn’t notice the arrow, or it was too large to dodge it. The arrow swiftly found its mark, hitting directly at its chest.

"Boom!"

The next second, the exploding potion inside the arrow detonated.

With a rumbling noise, dust and flames enveloped the upper body of the Snow Monster. The explosion threw it backwards, causing it to roll a few times before coming to a stop.

The damage of this Burst Arrow reached seven hundred points, and it had hit the heart. For the average wild beast, this would be a critical hit.

Instead, the Snow Monster merely shook its head and got back up. Aside from some blackened fur on its chest, no injuries were visible.

The Snow Monster gave an enraged roar and charged towards Mu You again.

As it got closer, Mu You’s Omniscient Crystal finally provided the information about the Snow Monster.

[Level 19 Pine Forest Snow Monster, Attack Strength 101-106, HP 10500, Magic Power 4000, Abilities: Snow Land Charge, Earthquake...]

Mu You felt a chill run down his spine. A level 19 monster, it wasn’t just a matter of whether he could defeat it, but how long would it take to kill such a durable beast?

Seeing the monster charge at him at high speed, Mu You quickly dashed to the side.

He had thought that the arrow he had shot earlier would have established a solid aggro, and the Snow Monster would chase him when he ran.

However, the Snow Monster hesitated for less than half a second when he ran, then continued to charge towards the gate.

"Is it targeting the gate?"

Mu You was taken aback. Without thinking, he quickly threw his chain claws towards the Snow Monster.

The chain claws glided over the snow, accurately hitting the Snow Monster’s hind leg.

Mu You, pulling on the chain claws, waited for the Snow Monster to be reeled in. The retrieval of the chain claws was supposed to be a forceful effect of the item. So far, he had not seen anything that could resist it.

However, he soon discovered that he had underestimated the Snow Monster’s strength. Not only did the chain claws not retrieve the Snow Monster, but it also dragged him closer to the Snow Monster.
