"Wait. So, you are a female?" Rocky asked in astonishment as soon as he heard the voice.
Meanwhile, a heavy gust of wind blew away the fluffy white cap that sat on top of the spiritual race being's head. Under this cap, there was a face that was white as snow. Her features were delicate and soft, coupled with piercing blue eyes that were as bright as the clear day sky. She had a pair of long ears that housed some of her tucked strands of hair that were as white as her.
Soon after, the spiritual light all over this woman's body rose sharply, and a strong aura immediately surrounded Rocky from all directions. All of a sudden, several snow chains shot out from the ground, directly entangling both Rocky and Robin.
With his current strength, it was very easy for Rocky to break free from the snow chains. However, it was so unexpected of him to show no signs of a struggle as if he had planned to do something else than escape.
Soon after, the snow woman instantly grabbed the snow chains entangling Rocky and Robin, and then dragged them beside the snow beast. Then, she lifted her other hand, took the upper limbs of the snow beast and shuttled into the endless Snow Cemetery Plain.
The only reason Rocky allowed himself to be easily caught by the snow chains was that he wanted the snow woman to help him lead the way so that he would not waste any more time finding the way himself. Besides, he wanted to know more about the origin of the snow woman's spiritual race clan.
'Is she a member of the nearly extinct Snow Master Clan?' Rocky, who was tied up by the snow chains, thought to himself as he looked up at the woman.
After walking for about an hour, Rocky suddenly laid eyes on some stone houses built on the foot of the mountain. These houses were closely arranged to each other that they resembled a tiny bustling village. From a distance, one could see some faint figures walking from one house to another.
After setting foot in the village, the snow woman immediately let out a very bizarre scream. Hearing this, everyone in the area dashed towards her and gathered around her. Soon after, several people clad in tight snow-white fur from head to foot came close to the woman to see what was going on. Based on what they were wearing, they were, without a doubt, from the same spiritual race clan as the woman.
But as soon as the people came near the woman, they saw two figures entangled by the snow chains—Rocky and Robin. Immediately, they all looked down and pointed their fingers towards the snow
way the spiritual treasure of our Snow Master Clan," Cyrus said in a severe tone.
"Then why didn't you stop them?" Rocky asked with interest. After all, the Snow Master Clan was not completely annihilated, and several villages still existed. No matter how strong humans were, it was impossible for them to be stronger than the spiritual race beings. Therefore, it was very strange that their spiritual treasure would be taken away from under their watchful eyes.
"I'm strong in will but weak in power. In fact, there is not much peace among the several villages of our clan. We know that the one who took those humans to the place where our spiritual treasure was sealed is someone from another village. In addition, we believe that those humans gave him a lot of benefits. And for a mere Snow Master Clan being living in this kind of ice and snow, I bet that the benefits were very tempting," Cyrus said frustratingly.
"Is that so?" Rocky didn't respond to the matter more. After all, they were stories from the past, so he just asked directly, "Head Cyrus, you must be very familiar with the terrain of the Snow Cemetery Plain, right?"
"Almost." Cyrus nodded.
"Can you please tell me how to get to that place?" Rocky asked as he took the topographic map out of his bag and pointed at the marked position on it.
After the head closely at the mark on the map, his face suddenly changed. He shook his head in a hurry and said, "You can't go there. It's very dangerous! Spiritual race beings would never dare enter that area, let alone humans..."
"So, you know this place, don't you, Head Cyrus?" At that moment, Rocky didn't expect that he had found the right person to ask.
