Zhao Lin walked into the room, pulled up a chair, and let out a long sigh.
Hard work truly pays off. After nine days of sleeping in ice and snow, he had finally absorbed the Wind Fox's Essence Soul.
Not only had he obtained Wind Attribute True Qi, but he had also broken through to the First Layer of the Blood Realm!
"That wasn't easy. It almost got away!"
Zhao Lin mused, his mind replaying the events that had just transpired.
When he heard a faint "CHIRR CHIRR" from his snow burrow, he knew the Wind Fox had arrived and immediately pressed his eye to the peephole to watch.
Not far away, an early-rising pheasant emerged from the thicket, wandering near the river valley. Suddenly, it caught a scent and started running toward his snow burrow.
Through his observations over the past few days, Zhao Lin had learned that pheasants were most active at dawn. That was why he had crumbled up a biscuit the night before and flicked the pieces out of the peephole, luring them in to feed.
