Chapter 94

Qin Huaibei and Daniel, two half-crippled individuals, leaned on each other as they moved forward, progressing very slowly.

After walking for a long time, they still couldn't find their way out, but instead became increasingly disoriented by the winding paths deep within the ice cave, completely unaware of which direction to head.

Eventually, they could no longer bear it and had to rely on Daniel's nose to sniff around, this once mighty jungle wolf, not only had to become a transportation beast for The No.1 Military Academy's main squad to ride, but also had to serve as a human navigation device.

How pitiful and lamentable.

What's worse, Qin Huaibei even complained that his nose wasn't sharp enough.

Daniel: ...For Chloe, can't he endure this?

While their progress was slow, Ren Yunying's team was not.

She came down with professional rescuers, who didn't rush into the ice cave, but instead surveyed the area around it, even throwing in a shockproof camera to monitor the situation below.

Occasionally, the screen would display some extremely cold-resistant and frost-resistant beasts from below, but their sizes weren't very large.

After waiting for a while, Ren Yunying finally asked, "Have you found any other anomalies?"

The rescuers shook their heads. "No, we haven't detected any large beasts down there for now."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yunying barely relaxed.

The absence of large beasts at least meant that her students wouldn't die from being devoured by them.

At the same time, she was also aware that the rescuers' statement was only temporary. This ice cave was too vast, and the reconnaissance cameras couldn't possibly report all the information from below at once.

Whether there were large beasts or not still required further investigation.

But Ren Yunying couldn't wait any longer, the later it got, the higher the chances of her students being harmed.

Thinking of this, Ren Yunying clenched her fists.

Those brats from Brut were truly outrageous!

Just as Ren Yunying was about to enter the ice cave, a spatial vortex appeared once again in the sky above the ice field.

She paused for a moment, looking up to see that the person who appeared this time was none other than Xavier.

Ren Yunying could hardly believe her eyes. "You... how come you're here?"

Xavier cast her a indifferent glance, remaining silent, and gestured to his subordinates behind him.

Those dark-red-eyed, black-winged vampires then dove into the ice cave at an extremely rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, the only vampire left on the ice surface was Xavier himself.

He still maintained his timeless suit and tie appearance, but his hair had grown longer, giving him a more composed aura.

"Patter!"

A frozen fish was tossed in front of Chloe by the monster.

The fish, who knows where the monster had obtained it from those nooks and crannies, was frozen solid, and when Chloe picked it up, she was almost chilled to the bone.

She tightened her grip, holding the fish's tail and smashing it against the ice wall, producing a "crackle" sound as shards of ice were scraped off the wall.

Chloe: "..."

If she ate this fish, wouldn't it break her teeth?

She didn't want to break her teeth again.

Although Chloe knew that her teeth were not that easy to break, she disliked eating raw food.

So, Chloe placed the frozen fish on the ground, ignoring it.

Seeing this, the monster became agitated and gently touched Chloe's leg with its tentacles.

Chloe, annoyed, finally fixed her dark red eyes on it and enunciated slowly, "Not. Eating."

The monster clearly understood human speech and immediately became flustered, frantically caressing its round body with its tentacles, indicating that if she didn't eat, her stomach would growl with hunger.

But Chloe couldn't understand its meaning, frowning at it for a while before asking in confusion, "Are you having a seizure? What's with that tantrum?"

The monster suddenly deflated, making a pitiful sound from within its body.

After spending so much time together, Chloe had finally figured it out.

This monster didn't eat humans; it was actually treating her like a pet.

Chloe pursed her lips, realizing that she, the esteemed young vampire lady, had actually been reduced to being kept in an ice cave by a monster?

How preposterous!

However, given the current situation, this monster didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Chloe wouldn't do anything to harm it, but this didn't diminish her desire to escape from the ice cave.

Unfortunately, the monster was like a wall of flesh, blocking the exit and stubbornly refusing to let Chloe leave.

They had fought countless times, neither willing to back down, both unable to overpower the other.

In the end, Chloe had to temporarily compromise. Although she couldn't physically leave, her sensory perception could.

During this period, without eating or drinking, Chloe spent her days contemplating how to extend her sensory perception even further.

If she could use her senses to locate the rescuers, she could devise a way to attract their attention through her perception.

After such a long time, she hadn't found anyone, but her mastery of her sensory abilities had become increasingly refined.
