Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 592 I am a Rabbit-Eared Clan 10

The first test has begun!

You didn't even fully open its giant mouth to roar; the muscles in its shoulder blades just bulged suddenly.

A blinding, arm-thick blue-purple electric snake suddenly shot out from the back of his strong neck!

The lightning bolt was faster than the eye could see!

However, the first attempt to control it was clearly not successful. The electric snake did not rush straight towards the herd of antelopes, but instead, with destructive ferocity, it violently tore apart the trunk of a giant pine tree that required two people to hug, which was blocking You's way!

"Crack—snap!"

A deafening roar erupted, accompanied by a pungent, burning smell!

The hard trunk instantly charred and cracked, and the huge crown, along with its burning branches, collapsed with a roar, kicking up clouds of smoke and snow-like debris! The explosive shockwave swept outwards, making the entire hillside vibrate!

The loud commotion startled the herd of antelopes! They cried out in terror and fled in panic!

Amidst the billowing dust, You's movements showed no hesitation. He pushed off with his feet, his massive wolf body darting across the ground like a black lightning bolt, suddenly cutting into the rear of the panicked sheep. His cold blue eyes locked onto the largest male antelope, lagging behind.

This time, he was clearly making quick adjustments.

The raised claws did not strike down, but instead made a feinting grab at the fleeing male antelope's hindquarters from a distance!

"Sizzle!"

A tiny, thumb-thick arc of incandescent electricity, condensed to an almost blinding degree, appeared silently! Its precision was terrifying, piercing through hundreds of meters of air in an instant!

The male antelope let out a piercing scream, and its entire massive body suddenly stiffened and straightened!

Its thick fur and tough muscles on its hindquarters looked as if they had been pierced by an invisible divine spear, leaving a charred, deep, round hole with tiny sparks flashing at the edges!

The air was filled with a strong, acrid smell of burning flesh!

A violent surge of lightning raged within its body, instantly destroying its motor nerves. The immense inertia sent it tumbling and crashing into a clump of bushes, its limbs convulsing wildly, blood frothing with tiny arcs of electricity spilling from its mouth and nose—it was clear it was beyond saving.

What's most chilling is that the flesh around the penetrating wound didn't burst open. Instead, it presented a bizarre hole shape, as if it had been instantly melted through by the ultra-high temperature, with incredibly smooth edges—a terrifying manifestation of extremely concentrated power without any leakage!

Yun Chu pressed herself tightly against You's violently undulating mane, holding her breath, her fingertips icy cold.

She witnessed the first time Thunder was deliberately guided into a state of rampage and loss of control, and also witnessed it being instantly subdued and killed by the fingertips of Death!

The terrifying penetrating power and silent precision were even more chilling to her than the roar that shattered giant trees.

You slowly walked towards the dying male antelope, its massive head slightly raised in the air thick with the stench of burnt blood.

Tiny electric currents flickered deep within the blue pupils, reflecting the autumn sun and the crimson blood dripping from the prey.

After a day of testing, they caught even more prey.

After that, they would go out every day to look for food.

In the blink of an eye, the harshness replaced the abundance of autumn.

When the last frosty leaf fell into the frozen stream, the biting cold, like the breath of a giant beast, completely engulfed the rolling mountains.

For six whole months, the long winter, with its endless blizzards and bitter cold that could crack rocks, imprisoned everything in a deathly, silvery-white cage.

The deep, dark cave became its only refuge.

Outside the cave, a fierce wind howled, and icicles hung like spears at the entrance; inside, a huge wolf's body was coiled in the dry, deepest part, its thick fur acting like the warmest stone wall, insulating it from the bitter cold.

Yun Chu curled up in the warmest hollow beside him, breathing in the air mixed with the unique scent of dust, hay, and his fur.

Most of the time, they spent their time in a drowsy, light sleep, their heartbeats slow as if they were hibernating. Only when the wind and snow subsided would they occasionally open their icy blue eyes and look at the cave entrance, which was mostly sealed by ice and snow, silent as an ancient rock.

This is not complete silence, but rather a kind of accumulation, a kind of hibernation, a profound adjustment carried out silently in the pause of nature.

Finally, on a quiet morning when the only sound was the condensation of ice crystals, a rare, warm golden ray of light struggled through the thick clouds and slanted across the icicles hanging from the cave entrance, refracting a dazzling array of colors.

The howling wind outside the cave had lessened considerably, and the air was filled with a dry, crisp chill that was both frigid and refreshing.

You raised its enormous head, its nostrils flaring.

A barely perceptible ripple flickered deep within those icy blue pupils, like a volcano dormant on the seabed sensing a slight tremor in the earth's crust.

He hummed softly, his warm breath condensing into a thick white mist in the cold air, brushing against Yun Chu's face.

Yun Chu opened her eyes and met those familiar eyes that seemed to hold even deeper power. She immediately understood his intention—the sun was shining, it was time to go out for some fresh air.

The snow was so deep it reached up to the chest of the secluded man.

When walking, he needs to rely on his massive body and strength to break through the snow track.

Each step produced a dull "plop" sound and a crisp "crunch" sound as the snow was compressed.

The whole world has changed.

In autumn, the dense forests are now covered with countless jade trees with outstretched white branches, and the rolling mountains are covered with a thick blanket of snow, pure and vast, yet also exuding a primitive and desolate atmosphere.

The cold wind whipped up the snowflakes from the ground, like a chilling veil that stretched into long, thin threads in the sunlight. No living creatures were to be seen; only the occasional tiny paw prints could be seen on the snow, the marks left by the most tenacious little animals of winter.

The giant claws of the ghost trod silently across the snow-covered frozen earth, its powerful senses spreading out across the silent snowfield like the most sophisticated radar.

Yun Chu hugged the mane around his neck tightly, her breath instantly freezing, her little face turning red from the cold, but her eyes were curious and bright, searching for any life that might exist under the blanket of snow.

A snow hare that had come out to forage was startled. Just as it darted out of its snow burrow, a tiny bolt of lightning, as fine as an ice needle, silently shot out from You's claws and instantly pierced its skull, leaving a small, smooth-edged, charred hole.

The snow hare twitched once and then lay still; its blood didn't even have time to seep out before it was dried up by the intense heat. Below the snow slope, a small, thick-furred ferret was blasted out from under the snow by the precise blast of air from You, and in its dizziness, it became a victim of You's claws.

Yun Chu was also searching.

In a sunny crevice in the rocks, where the snow had been blown away by the wind, she was pleasantly surprised to find several clusters of stubbornly surviving dark green leaves—hardy holly grass, and grayish-white lichen clinging tightly to the dead wood.

These plants, containing a faint trace of energy, are all the more precious in a time when everything else is withering away.

She carefully collected the ingredients with her fingers, which were a little stiff from the cold.

Before I knew it, sparse snowflakes began to fall from the sky again, and the sunlight hid behind the thick clouds once more.

You stopped and looked up at the gloomy sky. Her cold blue eyes reflected the falling snowflakes, as if scrutinizing some kind of signal.

He let out a low gurgling sound, carrying an undeniable air, and turned to walk towards home.

There's enough prey; another cold snap is on the horizon.

The massive black figure, like a moving mountain range, moved forward resolutely through the increasingly dense snowfall.

Yun Chu curled up back in that warmest and safest place.

Snowflakes fell silently onto the dark, furry skin, melting quickly or condensing into tiny ice crystals, which were then dissipated by body heat.

When their heavy figures disappeared once again into the dark yet warm cave entrance, it was snowing heavily outside.

The biting wind was completely blocked outside the stone wall, and the remaining light at the cave entrance was quickly swallowed up, leaving only the steady and long breathing of the giant beast lurking deep inside the stone wall, and the heartbeat that had calmed down again on his back.

The snow-covered journey home, the silent hunt, the meticulous gathering... the survival rules of winter, simple yet cruel, are repeatedly played out in this icy kingdom.

The thunderous power hidden in the eye of the storm seemed to become more restrained in this extreme cold and silence, waiting for the next opportunity to tear apart the frozen ground.
