Seeing Luo Feng's anger, Bear One quickly spoke up, "Calm down, we just finished our honey supply and only have this little bit left. We were planning to collect more. We've already located several beehives and were about to start."
Hearing this, Luo Feng said thoughtfully, "So all your honey in this tree hollow is here?"
Bear One: "Yes."
Luo Feng recalled the several large jars of honey he'd seen earlier using the Clairvoyance Charm and smiled. "I knew I couldn't find my jars of honey. Seems I hid them underground."
With that, Luo Feng swung his axe toward the ground.
Bear One was shocked by this sight and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Boom!
With a loud crash, a hole appeared in the tree hollow's floor.
Beneath the ice surface, several jars of honey lay waiting.
Without hesitation, Luo Feng waved his hand, and the honey jars instantly vanished from their original positions.
Bear Two saw their honey reserves disappear and immediately jumped down, lying on the ground while wailing loudly, "Where's my honey? Where'd my honey go? Did you take all my honey?"
Luo Feng ignored Bear Two, instead looking at Bear One with an amused expression. "Didn't you say there was only a small bowl of honey? Surely this underground stash isn't yours? I originally planned to trade for honey properly, but since you two bears can't be honest, don't blame me for being harsh. I'll take all this honey. Weren't you just saying you'd found plenty of honey sources? I'm not completely heartless—take these Ice Carrots and go find more honey yourself."
Bear One looked at the Ice Carrots that had appeared before it, then at the massive hole in the ground. Finally, its gaze settled on the enormous axe in Luo Feng's hands.
Bear One was utterly bewildered. It couldn't understand how Luo Feng, visiting their home for the first time, had so precisely located their honey stash. Even that Ice Rabbit who'd once stolen from them hadn't found their hidden honey.
After some thought, Bear One could only accept Luo Feng's terms, saying helplessly, "Fine, we'll search for more honey. But I have one question—how did you find our honey storage?"
"That's a secret I can't share. Now that I have the honey, hurry up and take us to the Icefield Wolf." Luo Feng was already eager to hunt the Icefield Wolf for its frost essence.
Hearing this, Bear One didn't argue further and stood up. "Let's go. I alone can guide you."
One hour later.
Bear One looked at the vast ice plain ahead, where the Ice Grass grew over a meter tall, and said, "This is Icefield Wolf territory. You should already feel how drastically the temperature has dropped here."
"I can only take you this far. If you wish to proceed deeper, I won't be able to accompany you.
This place is extremely dangerous.
Icefield Wolves could appear at any moment, and not just one."
Luo Feng gazed into the distance, his expression turning serious. He had already experienced the strength of the Icefield Wolves firsthand.
Facing a single Icefield Wolf was nothing for Luo Feng to worry about.
But encountering over a dozen at once? That was a different story.
It seemed that this time, to gather materials for forging the Mystic Ice Blade, he would have to consume a Size-Adjusting Golden Banana to transform.
Only then could he eliminate all these Icefield Wolves.
He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, you can head back now."
Bear One didn't hesitate upon hearing Luo Feng's words. It turned and left immediately. Having lived on the Extremely Cold Island for so many years, it knew all too well the ferocity of the Icefield Wolves.
It didn't believe Luo Feng could handle a dozen—let alone several dozen—Icefield Wolves at once.
For these people to venture further in would be a death sentence.
At any rate, Bear One had already warned them clearly enough.
If they wanted to throw their lives away, Bear One certainly wasn't about to join them.
Worried that Luo Feng might suddenly change his mind, Bear One practically bolted, as if its feet were greased.
Luo Feng, however, had no time to dwell on Bear One's thoughts.
With a wave of his hand, a massive Black Tortoise, three meters in diameter, appeared before him.
The sheer size of the Black Tortoise made Luo Feng suck in a sharp breath.
After all, less than a day had passed since the Black Tortoise hatched from its egg, and it had already grown to this size.
At this rate, by the time Luo Feng left the Extremely Cold Island, he might just be able to settle permanently on the Black Tortoise's back.
Though Luo Feng possessed the Water Spirit Orb, it only allowed him to dive freely into the ocean alone.
Now, with the Black Tortoise, the situation had changed dramatically.
The Black Tortoise could form a protective barrier on its back, shielding anyone riding atop it.
Thinking this, Luo Feng said, "Let's climb on and let Xiao Xuan carry us.
With my Ice Carrots to boost its speed,
it can move as fast as a person jogging."
Once they were on the Black Tortoise's back,
Tang Xuewei, staring at the enormous turtle beneath her, couldn't help but exclaim,
"Luo Feng, your turtle grows so fast!
It's only been a short while, and it's already gotten bigger again.
Now, it can even carry people on its back.
That's truly incredible.
Though, your turtle is a bit too hard—it's not very comfortable to sit on."
Hearing this, Luo Feng chuckled and said,
"That's normal. Don't be surprised.
I have special water.
When my turtle drinks it, it grows rapidly."
Tang Xuewei's curiosity was instantly piqued. "What kind of water?
How is it so miraculous?
It can even make turtles grow bigger?"
Luo Feng smiled faintly. "I'll let you see it someday when there's a chance.
If you ever get a White Tiger, it can drink my water too.
It'll help your White Tiger grow quickly."
At these words, Tang Xuewei seemed to think of something inappropriate, her face suddenly flushing red. She murmured softly,
"If I ever get a White Tiger… I'll let it drink your water."
Noticing her expression, Luo Feng frowned slightly in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Tang Xuewei spoke in an extremely soft voice: "Could I be pregnant?"
Hearing these words, Luo Feng felt as if thunder had struck on a clear day.
This term was truly too unfamiliar for Luo Feng.
He had never done that sort of thing before and had never even considered such a possibility.
