Tang Xuewei, hearing Luo Feng's words, turned to the Ice Rabbit before her and said, "You can keep pulling up carrots here by yourself. I'm going over first."
Approaching Luo Feng, Tang Xuewei noticed the bow in his hands and asked curiously, "Is that something the Giant Ice Sculpture just dropped? It's amazing that there was an Ice Bow inside the sculpture."
Luo Feng handed her the Epic Ice Bow and said, "From now on, this Epic Ice Bow is yours. If I remember correctly, you once practiced archery for a while. You and your sister had quite a few hobbies—taekwondo, sanda, and archery. Not only were you both beautiful, but also talented. You were practically the school's goddesses back then."
Tang Xuewei smiled at his words, knowing they were true. Back then, her admirers could have circled the Earth twice. Blushing slightly, she murmured, "And yet, you were the one who ended up with me."
Luo Feng chuckled. "This Frost Bow will be for your protection. It seems I should get you a space ring too—you don't have anywhere to store your things. Later, I'll buy a small storage item from the trading post for you to use temporarily. We'll upgrade to a bigger one later."
"Alright, I'll follow your lead," Tang Xuewei replied.
Taking the Epic Ice Bow, she read its description and gasped in shock. "Luo Feng, my archery skills are just basic. Giving me such a powerful bow feels like a waste. Maybe I should stick with a Common bow instead."
With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng summoned a large pile of Frost Arrows and several Frost Bows onto the ground. Tang Xuewei stared in disbelief—he actually had multiple Epic bows and a small mountain of Frost Arrows.
"Use these Frost Arrows freely," Luo Feng said. "Shoot as much as you want. Don't worry about wasting them—I have plenty. Now that you're my woman, you won't need to worry about supplies. But you should focus on improving your combat skills. The creatures we'll face will only get stronger, and if you can't defend yourself, I'll have to split my attention."
Tang Xuewei understood his meaning. She had always feared becoming a burden to him, which was why she had trained relentlessly on her Wooden Raft to improve. Now, witnessing Luo Feng's strength, she was even more determined to grow stronger—to avoid holding him back.
She refused to be just a decorative vase. The thought of Luo Feng worrying about her was unbearable. Meeting his gaze with resolve, she said firmly, "I will work hard to improve my strength."
"I hope that in the future, I can fight side by side with you."
Seeing Tang Xuewei's expression, Luo Feng smiled and said,
"I never learned archery before. The reason I could shoot so accurately just now was entirely because I obtained an Archery Skill Book. Next time, if we come across a similar skill book, I'll let you learn it to quickly boost your strength. So don't put too much pressure on yourself. Take it slow."
"Let's not dwell on this anymore. First, let's check out the Ice Carrots, then head to the Snow Country. I have quite a few Ocean Coins on me—once we enter the Snow Country, we should be able to buy plenty of good stuff. After all, a whole country must have a lot to offer."
"I wonder if the people in the Snow Country know how to leave Sea Zone 9527?"
Luo Feng had only two purposes for going to the Snow Country. The most important one was the last—finding a way to leave Sea Zone 9527.
Based on his years of gaming experience, since Sea Zone 9527 was essentially a Novice Sea, there had to be a way out.
This Ocean Survival Game offered an incredibly high degree of freedom. Many things could only be discovered through player exploration, or certain functions would only trigger automatically once players met specific conditions. The previous Resource Rankings and Wealth Rankings were perfect examples.
Now, if Luo Feng wanted to leave this Novice Sea Territory, he would undoubtedly need to fulfill certain requirements.
The creatures in this oceanic world were essentially NPCs in the game. Interacting with them more might even lead to receiving a quest.
If he could find a way to leave the Novice Sea Territory and advance to higher-level sea zones, that would be fantastic.
Deep down, Luo Feng was still very worried about Tang Xueying's safety and hoped she hadn't encountered any danger.
With that thought, Luo Feng didn't hesitate any longer and approached the Ice Carrot Field.
The Ice Carrots were arranged in several concentric circles, growing progressively larger from the outer rings toward the center.
When Luo Feng reached the innermost circle, he saw a single, massive Ice Carrot—one that was a full meter thick.
The sight of this colossal Ice Carrot made Luo Feng's eyes gleam with excitement. Just from its size alone, he could tell it was top-tier.
Without hesitation, Luo Feng stepped forward and touched the giant Ice Carrot, feeling its icy chill.
He tried shaking it with force, but it didn't budge at all.
Undeterred, he increased his effort, yet the massive Ice Carrot remained immovable.
Luo Feng then pulled out his Epic Quality Spear and began digging around the base of the giant Ice Carrot, carving out a gap in the frozen soil surrounding it.
This was entirely within his expectations.
The Epic Quality Spear could pierce iron as easily as mud—digging through soil should've been effortless.
But after ten minutes of digging, Luo Feng sensed something was off.
The deeper he went, the harder the frozen soil became—so much so that even his Epic Quality Spear struggled against it.
This was baffling. The Epic Quality Spear could cut through iron like butter, yet it was now struggling against mere frozen earth?
Did this mean the frozen soil was harder than steel?
How was that possible?
How could soil ever be this hard?
And even Ice Carrots would grow from this frozen soil?
Something seems off here.
Could there be something special about this patch of frozen soil?
The moment this thought crossed Luo Feng's mind, it lingered relentlessly.
After a moment's consideration, he took out his Legendary Clairvoyance Talisman and used it immediately.
