61: Chapter 61 Encounter

In the deep sea of the Far North, Lin Feng's body drifted up and down. For some reason, amidst the dense fluctuations of life energy, all the berserk Evil Orcas suddenly became calm.

They were no longer mad or bloodthirsty, and the blood-red in their eyes returned to clarity. Watching Lin Feng slowly float higher, they immediately fled in all directions, no longer entangling with him.

"It's done!" Sect Master Du Busi was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Xiao Feng to have such an opportunity; to have successfully completed his Awakening on the very first day of arriving in the Far North.

Such a phenomenon could only mean one thing: he was facing signs of an imminent Breakthrough.

The emerald light grew increasingly intense. The strong life force made Sect Master Du Busi feel refreshed in both body and mind, and this power felt somewhat familiar to him.

Sect Master Du Busi suddenly froze. This familiar life energy—was it not the very same power Xiao Feng had used to treat them back then?

Just then, a vertical emerald eye slowly opened on Lin Feng's forehead. The area around the eye socket was covered in circles of purple lightning patterns, and the black pupil shimmered with a profound luster.

At the same time, his two eyes also opened, emitting a faint gray light. He gripped the Shadow Demon Scythe, his eyes filled with a sharp, fierce expression.

Seemingly sensing the power of "Lin Feng," the Shadow Demon Scythe trembled in fear, its body emitting waves of humming sounds.

A voice that Lin Feng could not hear suddenly rang out from the gray pupil: "A little thing with nascent intelligence dares to devour its master? If you don't behave, I will erase you and replace you with one that is more obedient!"

The Shadow Demon Scythe seemed to understand "his" words, and the humming became even more intense. The sound resembled the crying of an infant, and the dark Domain that had been spread out was retracted back into the blade.

"Lin Feng" glanced at Sect Master Du Busi. With just that one look, he froze in place, unable to move at all, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

"He" curled the corners of his mouth slightly. The gray light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the third vertical eye retreated back into Lin Feng's body, and the World returned to calm once again.

Sect Master Du Busi swallowed hard, looking at Lin Feng with a complex gaze. What on earth was that power within his body? Just a single glance had made him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy. How terrifying!

However, he couldn't worry about that right now. He grabbed Lin Feng and swam toward the surface. Although he hadn't completed a Breakthrough this time, the gains should be significant.

At the very least, his wicked second Spirit had become even more powerful. That massive black mist likely possessed characteristics similar to a Domain.

As for what it specifically was, he would have to wait until Lin Feng woke up to find out.

"Splash!" Sect Master Du Busi broke through the water's surface, flying out while carrying Lin Feng.

Looking at Lin Feng's soaked clothes, Sect Master Du Busi quickly stripped them all off, covered his naked body with a blanket, hoisted him up, and flew toward the coast.

He found a flat spot on the shore and placed him on a snowdrift. There was no firewood around for a fire. He glanced at the lying Lin Feng, and a flash of hesitation crossed his face...

Leaving him here, he shouldn't be eaten by a Spirit Beast, right?

It shouldn't be. Lin Feng possessed the Glazed Body; even if a Spirit Beast gnawed on him, it would take a few hours. That should be enough time for him to return.

Sect Master Du Busi smiled, then left with peace of mind, heading further into the snowy plains to find firewood.

Not long after he left, on a small hill nearby, a furry golden head suddenly popped out of a snowdrift.

It shook the snow off its head, leaped forward, and its entire body sprang into the air, breaking through the surrounding snow.

Gazing at Lin Feng down the hill, the curiosity in its eyes intensified. With a slide, its body glided down the hill like a snowboard, moving faster than it could have by running.

"Hehe!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a crisp laugh. After licking her lips with her pink tongue, she approached Lin Feng.

Before long, she arrived beside Lin Feng and began sniffing his body vigorously. The third vertical eye on her forehead slowly opened, constantly searching for something on him.

After searching for a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's gaze finally settled on Lin Feng's forehead. Something there seemed to be attracting her attention.

She shook her head, dispelling this strange thought, and then extended a paw to flip away the blanket covering Lin Feng. In an instant, his naked body was exposed to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Why does he have a big worm on him? The Auspicious Beast's brain fell into a storm of confusion, but she clearly wasn't interested in Lin Feng's little bird. She leaned toward his head, examining it carefully, as if considering which spot would be the smoothest and tastiest to take a bite from.

"Hiss... so cold!" Lin Feng's body shuddered, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a bloody, gaping maw biting toward his head.

His pupils constricted, and he quickly reached out both hands to cover the creature's snout. The golden beast's snout was long, somewhat like a fox's mouth, and its golden fur was very beautiful.

In an instant, both Lin Feng and the golden beast froze, four eyes staring at each other, and the air fell silent.

"Huh, whose puppy is this? So cute!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He didn't even care that it had just tried to attack him. The moment he saw the puppy, his gaze was completely captivated, and he felt a vague urge to get close to it.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's neck fur stood on end, and she had a strong urge to roar: "You're the puppy! Your whole family is puppies!"

But as the words reached her lips, she realized that she was currently hiding her identity and couldn't speak at will. After thinking about it, she could only glare fiercely at Lin Feng and hiss.

Lin Feng was delighted, suddenly scooping her up into his arms and gently rubbing her head. A bright smile appeared on his face: "So cute, and it's a Golden Retriever! It feels so good!"

This was unbearable... The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was furious, her neck fur standing straight up. She suddenly lowered her head and bit down on Lin Feng's arm. This bite was extremely heavy, with no restraint at all.

Her sharp teeth biting into Lin Feng's arm actually emitted a sound like metal grinding against metal.

"Hiss... ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go!" Lin Feng's pupils widened, and he kept gasping in pain, lifting the golden puppy up to pull it off his palm.

However, whether it was because the movement was too large, Lin Feng's fingers ended up in a warm place, and his expression suddenly froze...

Not only him, but even the golden beast that had been biting his arm had a stunned expression. The force of her bite suddenly relaxed, and her gaze became somewhat vacant.

A crimson flush appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes, but it was immediately filled with fury. She roared crazily in her heart: "This damned human actually dared to put his dirty hand into... into... I'm going to kill you!"

"Snap!" The sharp teeth bit toward Lin Feng again, but this time he had learned his lesson. He quickly retracted his palm, which prevented her from succeeding, and at the same time, he quickly released his other hand and threw her away.

"Roar!!!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, thrown into the distance, quickly landed. She kept roaring at Lin Feng, the power on her body faintly showing an urge to explode. She stomped her four limbs rapidly and lunged toward him to bite.

Seeing the situation was bad, Lin Feng bolted, running naked around the snowy field. While running, he shouted: "Little golden one, I really didn't mean it, stop chasing me..."

"Damn human, if I don't bite you to death today, I am not the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!" She roared crazily in her heart.

At the same time, Sect Master Du Busi, who had returned, froze the moment he arrived! Watching Lin Feng running naked alone on the snowy plains, followed by a golden puppy that kept roaring, what on earth was going on?
