Surviving in the ocean while taking care of a child—the difficulty level was simply too high.
He gave an awkward smile and said, "What exactly goes through your mind all day? It's just drinking water, how did it lead to this? Do you want a child? The current environment doesn't allow for that. But if you really have this request, we can try tonight."
Tang Xuewei's face turned even redder upon hearing Luo Feng's words. She had just imagined a rather inappropriate scene. When Luo Feng mentioned "tonight," she felt both fear and longing. After all, she was already Luo Feng's woman—doing such things with him should be fine. But having never experienced it before, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. These conflicting emotions waged a fierce battle in her mind.
After a long while, she finally mustered the courage and whispered, "Okay, I'll leave it all to you."
Luo Feng looked at her thoughtfully upon hearing this. It seemed tonight would finally be the night for him to accomplish something big. As the saying goes, seize the day. Luo Feng had never experienced that feeling before and felt it was necessary to give it a try. This would also let Tang Xuewei witness his prowess.
After some thought, he said, "Alright, we'll talk about it tonight. For now, we need to keep moving. Tonight, we should be able to reach Snow Country. We'll take care of business there."
"Mmm."
Luo Feng gazed ahead and took out several Ice Carrots from his space ring, tossing them all to the Black Tortoise to eat. Naturally, the Black Tortoise didn't hold back, swallowing all the Ice Carrots in one gulp.
A moment later, the Black Tortoise accelerated, swiftly moving forward at a pace comparable to a person jogging. Luo Feng was quite satisfied with this speed. After all, you can't become fat with one bite, and a turtle can't outrun a rabbit overnight. Everything takes time.
Some might ask, why didn't Luo Feng ride a snowmobile? If Luo Feng knew who asked that, he'd slap them without hesitation. Riding a snowmobile in grasslands teeming with Icefield Wolves? That's like lighting a lantern in an outhouse—asking for death!
Of course, Luo Feng wasn't relying solely on the Black Tortoise's slow pace. If that were the case, traversing this vast ice field would take forever. So, Luo Feng took out his Swift Travel Charm. Such a precious item—every minute used was a minute lost. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary. But now, to speed up the forging of the Mystic Ice Blade, Luo Feng decided not to hold back.
With that in mind, he said, "Xiao Xuan, quickly raise the Protective Shield. We're about to set off."
As soon as Luo Feng spoke, a translucent white Protective Shield emerged from the Black Tortoise's shell, enveloping them completely. Tang Xuewei was amazed by this sight but soon noticed something concerning. With a worried expression, she said, "Luo Feng, the turtle's head isn't covered by the shield."
"Will it be in any danger?"
"Don't worry about that. It's the Black Tortoise after all—very few creatures can harm it. Especially here on the Extremely Cold Island, where most creatures have ice or water attributes. When it comes to water, the Black Tortoise is an expert. There shouldn't be any creatures capable of harming it. If its head is threatened, it can release a white mist that instantly freezes enemies."
Luo Feng explained, addressing Tang Xuewei's concerns.
"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease," Tang Xuewei sighed in relief.
Seeing that the Black Tortoise had already raised its protective shield, Luo Feng didn't hesitate any longer and immediately activated the Swift Travel Charm. Instantly, the Black Tortoise's speed increased dramatically. With a whoosh, it dashed far ahead, now even faster than a rabbit.
The Swift Travel Charm's maximum speed could reach 100 kilometers per hour. If Luo Feng used it on himself, his physical constitution wouldn't be able to withstand such speed. But the Black Tortoise was different—its physique was incredibly robust, and this speed had no impact on it. As for Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei on its back, they felt no impact from the rapid movement, all thanks to the protective shield that blocked the surrounding airflow.
Less than five minutes into their journey, a howl suddenly caught Luo Feng's attention. He spotted several Icefield Wolves approaching them. His heart sank—just as Bear One had warned, these wolves were pack hunters, and there were quite a few of them.
Without delay, Luo Feng drew his Legendary Cloud-Piercing Bow and began firing. Within seconds, he had loosed over a dozen arrows. The sky filled with multicolored streaks as the arrows shot toward the Icefield Wolves. The wolves reacted with astonishing speed, dodging some of the arrows, but the slower ones were hit. Those struck immediately slowed down significantly. One particularly unlucky wolf took a Flame Arrow to the head and began rolling frantically on the ground.
Soon, the Icefield Wolves closed in on the Black Tortoise. Several wolves, each over two meters tall, encircled it. Tang Xuewei's face turned deathly pale at the sight. She had never encountered such a situation before—surrounded by so many enormous Icefield Wolves. Were they all going to die here?
Her thoughts turned to her S-Rank Talent: Wish Fulfillment. Should she use it to help Luo Feng escape and obtain the materials he needed?
Noticing the change in Tang Xuewei's expression, Luo Feng immediately realized what she was thinking. "Didn't I tell you?" he said urgently. "When you're with me, don't even think about using that Talent of yours. Just watch as I deal with these Icefield Wolves. Today, I'll show you just how capable I am—and how big I can get."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewei abandoned the idea of using her ability, but a huge question arose in her mind: Luo Feng could get bigger?
From what she knew, there were only two things that could grow larger on a man.
One was the pupils.
The other was...Just as she was pondering this,suddenly, she felt an intense tremor.
The Icefield Wolves were attacking the Protective Shield on Black Tortoise's back.
