Tang Xuewei spoke up at this moment, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any danger?"
Luo Feng had stopped abruptly for a reason, not intentionally.
He had received a private message—from Mazi.
"I just got a message from Mazi. When I saw its contents, I was so shocked that I instinctively hit the brakes."
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Tang Xuewei's curiosity was instantly piqued. What kind of message could provoke such a reaction from Luo Feng?
With curiosity in her voice, she asked, "Who is Mazi? What did he send you that made you so startled?"
Luo Feng thought for a moment before replying, "Mazi is someone I met by chance. He, along with Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Er, are brothers. I assigned them to gather Time Accelerators for me. The message Mazi just sent said he encountered a Flying Treasure Chest."
"A Flying Treasure Chest?" Tang Xuewei couldn't help exclaiming in surprise. She already knew that the more unique a treasure chest was, the more extraordinary its contents would be. Even though she had seen many special treasure chests, a flying one was truly unheard of.
Luo Feng wasn't surprised by Tang Xuewei's reaction—he had been equally shocked when he first read the message. However, if that were all, Luo Feng wouldn't have stopped the car so abruptly.
After a pause, he continued, "There's something even more astonishing. Let me explain everything in one go. Mazi said that shortly after arriving on Extremely Cold Island, he accidentally spotted a Silver Treasure Chest on a tree. For someone who had only ever obtained Bronze Treasure Chests before, this was an enormous surprise. Without hesitation, he climbed the tree—he's skilled at climbing—and after some effort, he finally reached the Ice Tree. Just as he was about to touch the Silver Treasure Chest, it suddenly emitted a radiant seven-colored glow. Then, to his utter shock, the glowing Silver Treasure Chest took flight. Panicking at the thought of losing the chest, he hastily threw his Throwing Hook at it—and miraculously, he managed to snag it. The Silver Treasure Chest dragged him through the air for several hours before finally landing on another tree. But now, he dared not approach it again, fearing it might fly away once more. And if that wasn't incredible enough, soon after, two Ice Bears appeared beneath the tree. According to Mazi, they were none other than Bear One and Bear Two."
"What?!" Tang Xuewei gasped, completely stunned by the story. Mazi's experience was so bizarre it could be turned into a novel—The Adventures of Mazi.
Luo Feng then turned his gaze to the Ice Rabbit nearby and asked, "Do you know if there are two Ice Bears in this forest?"
The Ice Rabbit's expression immediately changed upon hearing this, and it began nodding vigorously. Then, as per its usual habit, it started gesturing animatedly.
Luo Feng could only look at Tang Xuewei with great helplessness.
After observing for a while, Tang Xuewei said, "Ice Rabbit says the direction it's leading us is toward where those two bears live.
Its earlier mention of escaping was actually about being chased by those two bears. It passed through an extremely cold area, and it was precisely because of this place that the two bears gave up their pursuit.
Finally, I think I also heard Ice Rabbit mutter something like:
'All I did was sneak some honey from that big dumb bear. Did they really have to chase me this far? How stingy can they be?'"
Hearing Tang Xuewei's words, Luo Feng gave Ice Rabbit a strange look.
If he remembered correctly, Ice Rabbit had stolen those Ice Carrots earlier.
And now, it had even stolen honey from Bear One and Bear Two.
Once a thief, always a thief—there was bound to be a third time.
Now Luo Feng finally understood why Ice Rabbit wasn't sleeping at home but instead hiding in the grass outside.
There was a high chance it was avoiding pursuit.
At this thought, Luo Feng's expression turned serious as he looked at Ice Rabbit and said, "Confess honestly—whose stuff have you stolen?"
Ice Rabbit's face paled, and it shook its head vigorously to proclaim its innocence.
Seeing Ice Rabbit's reaction, Luo Feng wasn't buying its lies.
It seemed he couldn't stay too close to Ice Rabbit in the future.
What if they ran into a few people who had been robbed by Ice Rabbit while traveling to the Snow Country? That would be extremely awkward.
Luo Feng wasn't afraid of trouble, but it was better to avoid unnecessary complications.
After some thought, Luo Feng said, "Fine, I'll believe you for now. Hurry up and lead us to those two Ice Bears. A friend of mine might be in danger."
Seeing the rough, uneven terrain ahead, Luo Feng had no choice but to get off the snowmobile and proceed on foot.
Once Tang Xuewei got off, Luo Feng stored away the Perfect Grade Snowmobile.
Gazing into the distance, he pondered for a moment before saying, "That flying treasure chest—the one emitting a rainbow glow.
I've seen that kind of light before, on the Merfolk Queen.
This means that flying treasure chest is definitely not ordinary.
To prevent it from flying away, we need to hurry.
Right now, riding the snowmobile is too inconvenient.
We'll have to use that other method."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewei's curiosity was instantly piqued. "What method? Is there something else we can ride?"
"Me—"
"Huh? You don't mean for me to ride…"
Tang Xuewei stared at Luo Feng in shock, as if she had just heard something unacceptable.
Could Luo Feng be suggesting that they…?
Seeing Tang Xuewei's stunned and odd expression, Luo Feng immediately realized she had misunderstood.
He quickly clarified, "I hadn't even finished speaking, and you're already reacting like this.
Your mind is in the gutter—you're corrupting me!
What I meant was, I'll carry you on my back.
I'm very fast.
I've previously consumed speed-boosting items.
And I still have other speed-enhancing tools on me.
Carrying you won't slow me down at all."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewei's face flushed red with embarrassment.
She had never been touched by a man before, let alone carried on someone's back.
But that wasn't even the biggest issue.
She glanced downward.
And realized she could no longer see her own feet.
Two towering mountains blocked her line of sight.
If Luo Feng were to carry her on his back, the physical contact would be incredibly thrilling.
Just imagining the scenario that might unfold made her face flush crimson.
Her chest began to rise and fall rapidly.
