However, as soon as they set off, it didn't take long before Lin Fan realized why Angela had this slime as a mount.
When they came up to the slime, there was a door that opened on the side that allowed them to enter.
After coming into the slime, Lin Fan was surprised by the interior.
Inside of the slime was a fully functioning house…well to call it a house was putting it down. With the size of the rooms inside the slime, it was better to call it a villa instead of a house.
The only thing that Lin Fan was caught off guard by was the decoration.
There was much more lace than he thought there would be, but it seemed like Angela was a girl in the end.
Once they had settled, Lu'er gave instructions for the slime to set off.
Lin Fan went over to one of the windows that was present in this room and he found that there was a layer of membrane that was over it, which was clearly the skin of the slime. However, the skin of the slime was completely transparent, or at least it was for the part that covered the window, so Lin Fan was able to see outside.
He could see that based on the scenery outside, the slime was moving out of the stable. However, the strange thing was that he couldn't feel the vibrations of the slime moving at all, even though he could tell that they were moving based on how the scenery outside kept moving up and down.
It really was strange, this interior of the slime really wasn't what he expected at all.
It took them five minutes to come to the entrance of the stable and Lin Fan couldn't help feeling doubtful about the speed of this slime.
Lin Fan went over to where Lu'er was controlling the slime from and asked, "Are you sure that we should be taking this slime?"
Lu'er said without turning around, "The young miss has already given her permission, there's nothing for you to worry about."
Lin Fan said, "That's not what I…"
But before he could even say a thing, he suddenly felt a strong force pushing him backwards.
Lin Fan had been looking out the window while he was talking to Lu'er and he had seen the scenery slowly get lower, which showed that the slime was tensing up to build strength to jump with.
However, based on his previous knowledge of slimes, he didn't have much hope that the slime would be able to move fast.
It was too bad for him that the slime had proved him wrong.
All the scenery outside of the window had turned into a blur and Lin Fan could feel the intense force that was pushing him back, which he hadn't felt before when the slime was moving.
All of this gave him an idea of just how fast the slime was moving right now.
Previously when the slime had been bouncing along in the stable, it had been able to negate most of the force with its body, which had kept the room stable. However, this time the people inside of the room were able to feel it, which showed just how strong the force generated was.
Lin Fan couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it when it was in front of his eyes.
This slime, it really was so god damn fast!
The trees seemed to disappear past his eyes as he looked out the window…
Lin Fan turned to Lu'er and asked, "How long will it take for us to arrive?"
Lu'er just calmly replied, "It'll take another ten minutes and we'll be there."
Lin Fan was shocked by this. He knew that even with the other mounts, it would have taken at least an hour for them to arrive, but it only took ten minutes with this slime?
He believed it now, this slime really was worthy of being Angela's personal mount.
Lin Fan walked over to where the sofa was and sat down cross legged, as he began to cultivate and calm his mind.
What he was about to do was very important and he would need a clear mind to do his best, so he would take this short time that it took to travel to calm himself as much as possible.
The ten minutes quickly passed and soon they arrived.
When they did, Lu'er came over to the sofa that Lin Fan was sitting on and she looked at him with knitted brows.
Then after a slight moment of hesitation, she raised her hand which was covered in a green glow that sent a bit of energy into Lin Fan's body that Lin Fan didn't notice at all.
This process didn't take that long and not before long, it was as if nothing had happened.
Once she was done, Lu'er adjusted her expression before saying, "We're here."
When Lin Fan heard Lu'er's voice, he came out of his cultivation state and opened his eyes to see her standing in front of him. He turned to look out the window and the scenery that he saw outside surprised him.
They were still surrounded by a forest, but halfway through that forest, the trees had suddenly changed appearances.
Instead of normal trees that were covered in leaves like the rest of the trees in this realm, the trees past a certain line were trees that were completely covered in ice. Or rather, it was more appropriate to call them trees that were completely made of ice.
These were trees that didn't have a single trace of green on them, they seemed more like tree sculptures that were carved out from blocks of ice. However, if one looked closely, they would be able to see that there was indeed a trunk that was underneath the thick layer of ice.
This place wasn't called the Profound Ice Forest for nothing.
Lin Fan got up and was prepared to walk out of the slime when Lu'er suddenly called out to stop him.
Lu'er said, "Wait, before you go, I have something for you."
Lin Fan turned around with a confused look as he asked, "What is it?"
Lu'er waved her hand and there was a piece of paper that appeared which she handed over to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it and looked it over before revealing another confused look.
He could tell that this was a map, but what was it a map of?
Lu'er took a red pen out and marked a spot on the map before saying, "This is our current location." Then she took that same pen and drew a circle in the middle of the map before saying, "And this is the location of the True Ice Grass."
She looked up at Lin Fan and said, "I don't think I need to say anything else, right?"
Lin Fan gave a nod since he was able to easily understand what she meant if she put it like this. This was clearly a map of the Profound Ice Forest in front of him and she had just given him the most direct route to it.
Of course, Lin Fan would still have to take it slow because the most direct route for her didn't mean the most direct route for him. After all, things that would be considered obstacles for him might not be considered obstacles for her.
Still, Lin Fan appreciated this since it would make his job much easier now.
Lin Fan gave her a nod of appreciation before walking out of the slime.
Lu'er just watched him from the window of the slime as he disappeared into the forest of ice. Once he was gone, Lu'er said under her voice, "I'm sorry, young miss."
…
The moment Lin Fan approached the trees of ice, he could already feel the chill that came from them. As he headed deeper and deeper into that forest, he felt the chill become stronger as it reached a point where it started piercing into his bones.
At that point, Lin Fan had no choice but to call out Xiao Huo who perched on his shoulder, surrounding him in his flame laws. The flame laws didn't burn intensely, but they did provide enough warmth for Lin Fan that he could move around normally without being affected by the chill.
If one looked at Lin Fan carefully, they would almost be able to see a layer of light that surrounded him.
Following the map that Lu'er gave him and a compass that he brought with him, Lin Fan was able to easily follow the map to where he needed to go.
He was certain that he was heading the right way because as he continued into the forest, the chill around him became colder and colder. Xiao Huo had no choice but to use more and more life energy to keep Lin Fan from freezing.
There were also some beasts that Lin Fan came across along the way, but surprisingly, most of the beasts that he encountered were only in the Soul Realm and not a single one of them had surpassed the Embryo Soul Realm.
That was very strange since in every other part of this World of Element, he had met beasts that were at a much higher level of cultivation. There were even beasts that were in the realm above the Soul Realm.
Still, Lin Fan didn't have time to worry about that since he was racing against the clock.
Finally, Lin Fan was able to make it out of the forest and into a clearing.
