nThe polar bear immediately stopped and looked at her in confusion.

n“Be a good boy and take me to where there are humans.” Gu Bailu leapt onto its back and patted its head.

nThe polar bear ran with her on its back.

nGu Bailu’s face hurt from the frigid wind, so she buried her head in the fur on the bear’s neck. She couldn’t hear anything but the wind.

nWhen she raised her head occasionally, she was still in the frozen land.

nHow huge was this place?

nThe polar bear didn’t stop, but Gu Bailu was gradually overcome by drowsiness.

nShe fell asleep at some point.

nWhen she woke up again, she found herself in an ice coffin. She felt like she was going to suffocate.

nIt was a cave that was full of clear ice.

nThe polar bear that had carried her here was playing with a snowball.

nSensing that she had woken up, it looked at her and snarled.

nSoon, a skinny person came in. He was wearing thin, ragged clothes, and his hair was as messy as dried grass.

n“She’s awake? She didn’t die?” He seemed to be talking to the polar bear.

nHe was so hoarse that he sounded like a worn-out clock.

nGu Bailu felt like she was suffocating, but it didn’t feel like she was going to die just yet. It was as if somebody was clutching her by the neck.

nWho was he? What was this place?

nWhat did he want?

nThe person approached the coffin. Gu Bailu finally saw his face, which was full of scars that looked like centipedes.

nHis chest was flat, and his clothes were ragged. It was impossible to tell his gender.

n“You’re the best to break into Ice Mist Peak in the past hundred years.” He smiled, and the scars on his face cracked in the most painful way.

nGu Bailu opened her mouth. “What do you want? I didn’t mean to intrude.”

nShe heard her own voice, but she doubted anyone outside could hear it.

n“You ask me what I want? You think you can get out of here? When Chen Mu is hungry, I’ll feed you to him. It’s been a long, long time since he had any fresh meat.”

nHe raised one arm. “I don’t have any meat for him right now.”

nGu Bailu nearly threw up when she saw the arm. There were absolutely no muscles on it, as if somebody had cut them off cleanly with a knife.

nHad he cut all his flesh off to feed the polar bear?

nGu Bailu felt her limbs turn numb. That was so twisted.

nIf he could cut off his own flesh to feed the polar bear, he certainly wouldn’t go easy on her.

nShe was going to be fed to a polar bear. That was such an unbelievable way to die.

nThe coffin was opened, and fresh air poured in. Gu Bailu gasped for breath, but an immense force hauled her out and onto the ground.

nA sword slashed at her. Gu Bailu rolled and avoided the attack without thinking.

nHowever, her arm was still hurt by the sword aura, and it bled.

nDetecting the familiar smell, Chen Mu stood up and lunged at Gu Bailu.
