Chapter 2019. The Order from the Scar

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger was leaping into the air when the area was Petrified by the Medusa’s Gaze. Its amber white hair was instantly covered in a thick layer of mud. The mud flowed over the Tianshan Scar White Tiger and gradually hardened.

As a result of their encounter with the Mud Morphing Monsters, harvesting the special crystals they possessed had strengthened Apas’ Petrify. She was not able to use the Petrifying Skygaze when Mo Fan kidnapped her. It was one of the reasons why she did not stand a chance against her sisters.

The Petrifying Curse of the Medusae was one of the strongest magicks in the world. The Tianshan Scar White Tiger’s strength was several levels higher than Apas, so it was the only power she could use against it.

Apas came down from the peak when she saw the Tianshan Scar White Tiger turning into a rock.

She grinned and naughtily knocked the Tianshan Scar White Tiger on the head.

“I told you, if we wanted to hurt your little cub, you wouldn’t have had a chance to see her. Why must you attack us so recklessly? We aren’t some brainless creatures,” Apas told the petrified Tianshan Scar White Tiger.

Even though that assh*** Mo Fan had forced her to use her full strength, she was satisfied with the outcome. It meant she was able to defend herself if she had to face her sisters in the future. The Petrifying Skygaze was the symbolic ability of those with the purest lineage, and a sign that she had matured!

Cracks surfaced on the Tianshan Scar White Tiger while Apas was enjoying the pleasure of using the power for the first time. The cracks were thin as hairs at first, but they soon grew wider. The satisfied grin on Apas’ face froze.

“How are you breaking it so quickly…” Apas did not expect her magic to reach its limit so soon!

Normally the Petrifying Skygaze would turn a Ruler-level creature’s organs and blood into rocks too. Even if the spell was lifted, the creature would be as good as dead. As for creatures like the Tianshan Scar White Tiger, the Petrifying Gaze would temporarily seal them in stone and stop them from moving while inflicting serious damage on their skin, hair, and shell. However, the duration was shorter than Apas had imagined!

“It’s because of the limits of the Contract again!” Apas soon realized she was still unable to use her full strength.

Mo Fan might have reached the Super Level, but he was still a long way from matching Apas’ natural strength. Differences at the Ruler level were huge, and were clearly reflected here in Tianshan Mountain. The Valley of Glaciers was just one boundary; there were mountains and peaks of different altitudes. Some of the peaks were several thousand meters taller than the shorter peaks.

Mo Fan had only reached the Super Level, so their Contract was still limiting Apas’ power.

It also showed how strong the Tianshan Scar White Tiger was. Even Apas’ Petrify could not buy her much time.

Apas knew there was no need to have a showdown with the Tianshan Scar White Tiger now. She quickly turned into a mist and left the area by flitting along the ice when she noticed the situation was not in her favor.

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger broke through the hardened mud on its body. They were closely attached to its skin and hair, meaning that it had to shed its fur too!

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger was soon covered in blood. When its blood fell onto the ice, it produced white steam as the ice melted rapidly.

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger let out a roar. The glaciers nearby shook, and some even shattered and collapsed.

The huge pieces of ice floated in the air and shattered into smaller pieces after a second roar from the Tianshan Scar White Tiger.

The pieces of ice circled the Tianshan Scar White Tiger like a tornado under its control.

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger gradually absorbed the pieces to regenerate its damaged skin and hair at a visible rate.

As the pieces completely melted inside its powerful aura, the Tianshan Scar White Tiger reclaimed its previous magnificent appearance and its crystalline white hair!

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger began searching around, trying to track down Apas.

The truth was, it was difficult for humans to escape the Tianshan Scar White Tigers when they were hunting. The Tianshan Demon Tigers had an outstanding ability to track. It was their innate ability, and the Tianshan Scar White Tiger had the purest lineage among them. How could the humans possibly run away from it?

The Mailong Private Military Group had experienced the ability first hand. No matter how far they went, the demon tiger could still track them down.

A strange sound came from deep within the Scar of Tianshan Mountain as the Tianshan Scar White Tiger was about to pursue the reckless humans. It was like a howling breeze over a creek, but it also sounded like the cry of a living creature if one was listening carefully.

The Tianshan Scar White Tiger lifted its head and stared deeper into the Scar of Tianshan Mountain.

Its rage-filled eyes immediately calmed down, as if it had just received an order. It glanced in the direction the humans had escaped to, yet it did not chase after them. It turned around and climbed back to the higher altitudes instead.

Apas kept setting down illusions along the way. The Tianshan Scar White Tiger had an outstanding tracking ability, just like how the Medusae were able to locate their enemies by tracking their scent. Apas was hoping that Mo Fan would quickly trick the little cub into giving him the Night Amethyst and let the little creature go, just so the Tianshan Scar White Tiger would give up on the chase.

Apas knew she would struggle to defeat the Tianshan Scar White Tiger with her current strength.

“It stopped chasing?” Apas suddenly turned around and looked in the direction she had come from.

Apas was capable of sensing danger. She could tell if the Tianshan Scar White Tiger was still chasing her.

The sense of danger had just disappeared! Did the creature let them go, just like that?

But its little cub was still in Mo Fan’s hands!

It was unbelievable. There was no way the Tianshan Scar White Tiger would believe they were not going to harm the little cub at all…

    Chapter 2020. Mu Ningxue's Third Element
    Versatile Mage



    It was difficult to trick the kids nowadays. Mo Fan had realized it from interacting with the little cub.

    Wasn’t it just a shitty rock? It didn’t have any scent, and she might break her teeth biting it. Why did she keep holding it in her mouth?

    “Believe me, I seriously need it to save lives. We humans treat the people around us preciously. I’m sure the white tigers are the same, too. I’ve rescued you from the Frosty Ancient Eagles’ nest, so in return, you should give me your pacifier,” Mo Fan said.

    The little cub grinned and completely ignored Mo Fan. She was acting like ‘if you try to force me to give it up, I’ll just swallow it instead’.

    Mo Fan scratched the back of his ear. He seriously missed Little Flame Belle. If Little Flame Belle was around, she would be able to befriend the little cub and convince her to give up the thing inside her mouth. After all, wasn’t she just a little baby?

    The little cub did not compromise. She had been having fun in the Frosty Ancient Eagles’ nest. Now that Mo Fan had brought her out, he had to show her something more interesting, or he would have to bring her back to the kindergarten!

    “You little sh**, why didn’t you keep your promise? You told us you would give it to us after we’ve shaken off your mother. We risked our lives to fight the Tianshan Scar White Tiger, yet you didn’t keep your promise. Are the tigers so dishonest? Won’t Tianshan Mountain be ashamed of you?” Mo Fan went on.

    The little cub raised her head proudly, like she was saying, “I’m just a kid, I will be forgiven for anything!”

    Forcing the little cub to give up? The truth was, she was not as delicate as she seemed. It would be a little tricky to take the Night Amethyst by force!

    Mo Fan did not dare to be too harsh on her. He had already met the Tianshan Scar White Tiger. If any harm befell the little cub, he would have no chance of leaving Tianshan Mountain!

    “What exactly do you want?” Mo Fan asked helplessly.

    The little cub growled to express her intention.

    “She’s basically saying if you play with her, she will give it to you.” Jiang Shaoxu had come over, and used the Psychic Element to interpret the little cub’s thoughts.

    Jiang Shaoxu seemed to be on point. The little cub kept nodding. Her round head was like a chubby panda’s instead of a tiger.

    “Why must I stumble into such a little ancestor that isn’t afraid of being kidnapped? Screw it, the Night Amethyst is in her hands… her mouth anyway. It means we have secured a Night Amethyst,” Mo Fan said.

    Mo Fan placed the little cub down so she could play with the Night Rakshasa.

    They were both from the cat family, but the Night Rakshasa was unapproachable compared to the little cub. She completely ignored the naughty kid, yet the cub treated no one as a stranger. She kept playing with the Night Rakshasa’s tail.

    The Night Rakshasa was enraged. She turned into a black ray and flew to the ice clouds above the group like she was off to patrol the area. She was just trying to shake the annoying little cub off.

    A white figure swiftly sprang onto the ice clouds after her. The little cub was behind the Night Rakshasa in less than a second. She reached her chubby paw toward the Night Rakshasa’s tail again.

    The Night Rakshasa hated being touched on the tail. Her hair stood on its end when the little cub touched her there. She subconsciously raised her claw and turned her head to glare at the little cub.

    The little cub immediately looked up. She stared at the Night Rakshasa with wide glittering eyes.

    The Night Rakshasa had no choice but to withdraw her claws.

    She did not feel like hitting or scolding the little cub. She ran away as quickly as she could from the troublesome kid. To everyone’s surprise, the little cub was extremely quick too! She was able to catch up to the Night Rakshasa no matter where she ran to.

    “The little cub is pretty strong!” Mo Fan blurted out in surprise.

    No wonder the little cub was perfectly safe in the eagles’ nest. She was just as fast as the Night Rakshasa!

    The little cub enjoyed playing with the Night Rakshasa, which almost drove the Night Rakshasa mad. Why did they bring along such an annoying little creature? She was struggling to shake the cub off, who was chasing her like a second tail.

    Luckily, the little cub was just a kid. She soon fell asleep after she was done having fun. The little cub wanted to sleep in Mu Ningxue’s arms, but Mo Fan disagreed with it.

    “That’s my place. Off you go,” Mo Fan angrily shoved the little cub into Jiang Shaoxu’s arms.

    Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at Mo Fan. Must he really say that out loud?

    “Xuexue, her attributes fit nicely with yours, and she’s particularly fond of you too. I’m pretty sure she is willing to go with you,” Mo Fan said.

    Mo Fan believed things would be a lot simpler once Mu Ningxue adopted the little cub. It would only be a matter of time until they secured the Night Amethyst.

    Mu Ningxue shook her head, like something was bothering her.

    “I can tell you are troubled. Tell me about it,” Mo Fan said.

    Mu Ningxue stared at the campfire. She was lost in her thoughts while her eyes were fixed on the flickering flames, but eventually realized Mo Fan was still looking at her. She replied after a slight hesitation, “My Contract is a Death Contract.”

    “Death Contract?” Mo Fan had never heard of the term before.

    “As the Ice Crystal Bow is being repaired, it will obtain its own soul. I’ve bound my Contract to it just so I can control it better, so my Third Element is basically non-existent,” Mu Ningxue explained.

    Mu Ningxue rarely mentioned her Third Element to anyone, but the little cub had reminded her of what happened on Tianshan Mountain when she first came here.

    “What’s your Third Element?” Mo Fan asked.

    “Summoning Element,” Mu Ningxue replied.

    “Huh? I’ve never seen your Summoned Beast,” Mo Fan exclaimed.

    “It’s my fault that it has become a Death Contract…” Mu Ningxue sighed.

    “What do you mean by a Death Contract?”

    “My soul is bound with the Ice Crystal Bow. You do know how challenging and torturous it is for me to control the Ice Crystal Bow. If I sign a Contract with other creatures, they would have to go through the same challenges and pain…” Mu Ningxue’s voice softened. She was obviously recalIing something painful, “Do you remember Qin Yu’er? The woman who was frozen in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain?”
