435: Snow Ridge Bear
The blood-colored crow was slain, the scattered curse runes were refined, and the Rock Python felt its mind suddenly flooded with brilliant light.
It felt a clarity of mind and a sharpness of spirit it had never experienced before.
It seemed that as long as it wished, it could easily step out of the Manifest Saint realm and enter the Yao Venerable realm.
"It's broken, it's really broken!"
The Rock Python was overjoyed, feeling an unprecedented lightness and comfort within its body, as if it had cast off an invisible shackle, causing it to hiss excitedly.
In this moment, it was as happy as a naive little Yao Beast in its childhood.
It swam excitedly through the cavern, darting here and there.
A moment later, it calmed its mind and emotions, then darted to Su Can, its scales contracting with a series of clicking sounds as it shrunk in size again.
"Rock Python greets Master. From today on, I am at your command!"
It raised its head, speaking in human language, its pupils filled with indescribable excitement.
"Mm." Su Can nodded.
The Rock Python excitedly said, "Master, you are planning to leave this Southern Wilderness Forbidden Land and go to the territory of the Human Race in the Southern Wilderness, right?"
"That's right!" Su Can said.
"Then, before we leave, let me take Master to subdue a few more Yao Beast servants who are just as powerful as me, or even stronger."
"With many Yao Beast servants following, Master will be able to occupy a territory and become a significant power once you reach the Human Race region."
The Rock Python's vertical pupils were filled with excitement; it could finally leave this Forbidden Ground, cursed for generations.
Although being a Yao Beast servant to a human didn't sound good, it was still better than staying here for a lifetime, waiting to be slaughtered!
Moreover, to avoid feeling unbalanced, it planned to drag a few stronger Yao Beasts to join in and serve Su Can together!
As the first great Yao Beast to become Su Can's servant, its status would even be higher than the other great Yao Beasts.
Thinking of this made it incredibly excited, which was why it made the suggestion to Su Can.
Upon hearing the suggestion, Su Can was naturally tempted.
Upon reaching the Southern Wilderness Human Race territory, having a few more powerful Yao Beast servants would make things easier when handling affairs.
"Fine, before we walk out of the Southern Wilderness Forbidden Land, we will find a few more Yao Beast servants!"
Su Can nodded in agreement.
"Master, follow me. I will take you to the Snow Ridge. That is the territory of a white bear. Its strength is extremely formidable, and its Bloodline is powerful. If we were to fight to the death, it would be stronger than me!"
The Rock Python volunteered with great enthusiasm.
With a swoosh, it darted out of the cavern, instantly growing to several dozen zhang in size, and stopped in front of Su Can.
"Master, get on my back, and I will carry you over," the Rock Python said.
Su Can didn't stand on ceremony; his figure flashed, and he landed on its back.
Swoosh! The Rock Python soared through the Void Realm, like a crack in the void, streaking rapidly across the sky.
After flying for about ten minutes, a cold chill rushed toward them.
Su Can fixed his gaze and saw a thousand-mile snowfield below, with mountain ridges winding like a Dragon, all a vast expanse of white.
Even the rows of towering snow pines were covered in heavy snow.
"Master, we have arrived. This Snow Ridge is the lair of that Snow Ridge Bear."
"I will call it out now."
The Rock Python excitedly flicked its tongue, then suddenly opened its mouth, releasing a powerful current of air carrying a gloomy message.
"Snow Ridge Bear! Hurry up and get out here to meet us. I am introducing a Master to you."
"Roar!"
With an angry roar, a huge white shadow suddenly rose from the depths of the Snow Ridge, leaped, and appeared before them.
This was a large bear covered in white fur, five zhang tall, surrounded by cold currents. With a single breath, it could freeze the Void Realm with a layer of ice crystals.
Its eyes were filled with coldness as it roared, "Dead Rock Python, you failed to snatch my Snow Infant Fruit last time. It seems you didn't suffer enough, as you actually dare to come to my territory again!"
"Snow Ridge Bear, I have come this time to bring you an Opportunity. If you obediently present the Snow Infant Fruit in a moment, my Master and I will take you out of this Southern Wilderness Forbidden Land. How about it?"
The Rock Python didn't get angry; its vertical pupils shone with a hint of greed and excitement as it spoke.
"You really are still eyeing my Snow Infant Fruit. I think you are truly courting death!"
The Snow Ridge Bear roared in anger, its cold aura congealing. It grabbed with its furry hand, and the cold currents of the Void Realm gathered to form an ice shovel, radiating a sharp, cold edge!
Seeing that it was about to attack, the Rock Python quickly shouted, "Snow Ridge Bear, don't attack yet. I said, I came today mainly to offer you an Opportunity and introduce you to my Master!"
"Master?"
The Snow Ridge Bear's eyes widened, and only then did it notice an unremarkable human sitting on its back.
"You, a dignified Yao Saint, actually let a Human Race member ride on your back? You haven't acknowledged this human as your master, have you?"
The Snow Ridge Bear's face was full of disbelief, its gaze filled with incredulity.
The Rock Python sneered, "So what? Master can take me out of this Southern Wilderness Forbidden Land. Isn't that better than cowering here for a lifetime without daring to show my face?"
"Moreover, my Master has the bearing of an Immortal. Following him is my glory. Perhaps in the future, I can even follow him in the Ascension to the legendary Immortal Realm!"
"What did you say? He can take you out of the Southern Wilderness Forbidden Land? You haven't been duped, have you?"
The Snow Ridge Bear scoffed. In these millions of miles of territory, has anyone ever walked out in thousands of years?
"Why would I lie to you? The Bloodthirsty Curse in my body has already been removed and refined by my Master. I have acknowledged him as my master and am at his command!"
"I don't want to cower in this Forbidden Ground forever. The outside world is huge!"
"Furthermore, you cannot imagine Master's power. His future achievements will definitely be among the most top-tier existences!"
"Empty words are no proof. Seeing is believing!"
The Snow Ridge Bear was stubborn, saying, "Even if he really can remove and refine the Bloodthirsty Curse, if his strength isn't strong, I cannot possibly serve him as my master!"
"Whether he is worthy of me acknowledging him as master, let's let strength do the talking!"
The Snow Ridge Bear let out a roar, raising a hundred-zhang wave of cold air behind it. It swung the ice shovel, and the cold current surged, heading straight for Su Can.
"Damn it!" The Rock Python was furious. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out two columns of magma fire, burning back the cold current.
Just as it was about to continue its attack, Su Can suddenly patted its back and said calmly, "Alright, since it wants to test my strength, I will make it submit willingly."
"You step aside first!"
"Yes, Master!" The Rock Python immediately withdrew its attack stance, swung its body, and swam a hundred zhang away.
Su Can hovered easily in mid-air, his gaze looking calmly at the Snow Ridge Bear:
"Make your move! I'd like to see what you're capable of."
"Roar!"
The Snow Ridge Bear roared, rushed forward, and swung its ice shovel. The bone-chilling cold froze the Void Realm, causing countless ice crystals to fall with a crackling sound.
And that bone-chilling cold, carrying frost, slashed toward Su Can's body!
"Is that it?"
Su Can chuckled lightly, extended two fingers to catch it, and with a snap, the power of Heavenly Thunder, wrapped in the True Meaning of Thunder, shattered the boundless cold air.
Then, with a forceful twist, there was a clanging sound.
The entire ice shovel instantly shattered into countless pieces.
Immediately after, Su Can slashed with one hand, the True Meaning of Thunder transforming into a blade, and with a bang, he sent the Snow Ridge Bear flying.
