The King of Black Fog

A few minutes later, the team still hadn't advanced, and the black substance under Li Changzhou's feet began to spread, enveloping the entire group.

At first glance, it looked like a black submarine in the snow, or perhaps like a giant fish.

"Phew!" Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Old man, you lead the way," Li Changzhou said.

The old man rode his horse to the front, peering through a small opening to observe the direction, commanding the 'black submarine'.

Surprisingly, their speed increased, the black substance parted the deep snow directly like a whale cutting through the sea.

The cold wind howled, and the biting gale mercilessly lashed at the snowy plains, yet Tali felt a sense of peace and warmth deep inside, as long as the captain was there, no hardship could stop them.

Yang Qinglan glanced at Li Changzhou, his gaze questioning: Are there any side effects from using Ability for a long time?

Li Changzhou shook his head slightly, perhaps there were, but he hadn't noticed any, or maybe there were none.

Where does Great Power truly lie?

The "Slaughter Blade" is the greatest achievement of the Engraving Clan, so why does the 'Breathtaking Green Light' possess the same Strength?

What is inside the Abyss?

Who knocked on the door last night? How did the corpse disappear?

Li Changzhou was filled with doubt and curiosity about this world, but now was not the time for puzzles, completing the task was the urgent priority.

"Something's happening!" The old man suddenly raised his hand.

Andy pressed his hand on his scimitar, Yeet and Bai Zi held their steel swords;

Stone Fist took down the shield from his back, Tali already had an arrow notched on her bow.

Silence reigned for a moment.

Bam!

A burst of snow exploded into the air, and a massive beast suddenly leapt out of the snow, like a crocodile lunging out of water, and bit down fiercely on the "submarine".

Each of its teeth was as long as a person's thigh, sharp like bone spears.

Everyone's heart raced; without the black substance, that single bite would have claimed at least three or four lives!

The beast, driven mad by hunger, bit down hard on the "submarine", but in the next moment, it let out a wail.

From the "submarine", a wing-like black hand emerged, seizing the beast, lifting it high into the air.

The beast had no limbs, resembling a seal.

"It's a Snow Leopard!" the old man calmed his somewhat panicked horse. "It's said that the warriors living on the snow plains can not only hunt Snow Leopards alone but can also use them to pull carts."

"Use this... to pull a cart?" Andy and the others found it hard to believe.

They were also skilled, and together they might be able to kill a Snow Leopard, but to make such a beast pull a cart? How much courage and strength would that require?

Li Changzhou willed the black substance to harness the Snow Leopard, and the black substance covered eight horses separately.

The black hand squeezed tightly, causing the Snow Leopard to 'swim' forward madly.

At first, it was slow, step by step, but as the horses stepped out of the deep snow, onto the surface, eight flat-bottomed black spheres raced across the snow plains like arrows.

This gigantic Snow Leopard had no trouble pulling eight horses in the snow!

"Wow!"

Andy, Stone Fist, and the other young men shouted like excited monkeys.

If not for the weight of the horses, the speed could even make them fly like kites. The group raced across the snow plain at a breakneck "flash", heading towards the Abyss.

Li Changzhou was with Yang Qinglan.

Li Changzhou shouted: "Do you know what's bigger than the snow plain, wider than the sky, and bigger than a fist?"

"What is it?"

"It's Darkness! And I am the King of Darkness!"

Yang Qinglan looked over, pressing down the collar covering her face with her right index finger, revealing a beautiful face cold and numb from the chill.

"... You've changed your name?" she asked earnestly.

"... You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Yang Qinglan smiled and nodded.
