Chapter 5: The First Battle with Frost Mouse

  Village north, White Feather quietly stood outside the small village, behind him was a forest, Ye Feng stood beside him, sighed, and put his hand on White Feather's shoulder, "Let's go, Xiao Bai".

  Bai Yu's lingering gaze swept over him one last time before she took a deep breath and turned to walk into the forest with Ye Feng.

  Yè Fēng knew Bái Yǔ was feeling down, so he tried to divert her attention by making small talk, "Little White, just how far is this Blue Ice City anyway?"

  "Unexpectedly, Bai Yu was stunned this time, looking at Ye Feng, 'You don't know? I don't know either!'"

  The two of them looked at each other in dismay, and Xiao Bai said, "I thought you knew since the village chief gave you the letter."

  "What should we do now?" Ye Feng said dazedly.

  "Doesn't matter, just go north anyway!"

  After this little episode, Bai Yu's spirit improved a lot, but another worry arose. "Ye Ge, there might be magical beasts in this forest, I heard Village Elder say before, although they're not high-level, at most level one or two, I'm fine with that, it's just you..."

  Yexing glanced around and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I still have some strength left. Besides, I can run pretty fast. When the time comes, I'll cover your retreat... By the way, what's a magic beast? Is it more ferocious than a tiger?"

  Bai Yu initially nodded along, but as Ye Feng spoke, he started to feel a bit off, and by the end, he was completely defeated by Ye Feng's last two sentences. "I'm telling you... speechless! Magical beasts are a special kind of wild beast, they're similar to warriors, can also use elemental energy, and there are many, many types. High-level magical beasts are even smarter than our school teachers! I've never seen what magical beasts look like though. The village elder just said that first-level magical beasts are about the same as first-level warriors."

  Bai Yu said this, suddenly discovering that Ye Feng beside him was looking at himself with envy in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. "The demon beast is much more powerful than the old tiger! Like what big tiger, I can kill it with one punch!"

  "What time can I cultivate elemental energy?" he said, and then lost his head again.

  Actually, Ye Feng had tried before. Every night, he would sit cross-legged on his bed and silently recite the incantation that Bai Yu taught him. He persisted for a whole month but didn't see any effect, so he gave up. However, looking at Bai Yu by his side always made him feel a little lost.

  Bai Yu saw Ye Feng's dejection and hastily went to comfort him, "Brother Ye, don't be discouraged! I believe you can do it. If wind element cultivation doesn't work out, you can cultivate other elements, right? It's just that I don't know the incantations for other elements... We'll take it slow, there will definitely be opportunities in the future..." As he spoke, he patted Ye Feng's shoulder, but suddenly found Ye Feng tense up all over, and with a sudden movement, he pushed Bai Yu away.

  At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly felt surrounded by a strange feeling, his pupils shrinking almost subconsciously pushing away Bai Yu.

  Bai Yu could have originally dodged it, although he didn't understand why Ye Feng wanted to do this, but he believed that Ye Feng wouldn't harm him so he went along with it. However, in the next moment, Bai Yu understood - a white shadow flashed past his face at an extremely fast speed, and where his head was just now was exactly on the path of this white shadow!

  What was said quickly was actually just a blink of an eye, Bai Yu's left foot took a quick step back to steady himself, and he turned his head to look at the place where the white shadow had fallen. All he saw was a palm-sized creature with a mouse-like appearance baring its teeth at him, its white fur emitting a faint white glow...

  Xiao Bai is in a very bad mood, extremely bad! "Damn it, this little thing almost took my life! If it wasn't for Ye Ge... damn it! I was too careless!"

  At this time, Ye Feng's urgent voice was heard, "Is Xiao Bai okay?"

  "It's okay, Night, you back off a bit, I'll handle him."

  Ye Feng half-squatted behind Bai Yu, worried and said, "Are you okay?"

  "No problem!"

  Ye Feng gritted his teeth and took two steps back.

  Bai Yu didn't dare turn his head now, with this guy's speed, he was afraid that if he turned around, he would pounce on himself.

  And that white mouse (let's call it that for now) didn't dare to pounce on him recklessly, earlier it was a sneak attack relying on speed to catch him off guard, but now being stared at dead-on, he no longer had this advantage. Moreover, he sensed danger from this child, a kind of danger that could threaten his life, and so the man and mouse just stood there in a stalemate.

  Bai Yu thought for a moment, then decided to take action. His right hand gathered wind elements slowly, and his legs suddenly exerted force, shooting him forward like an arrow leaving a bowstring. White Mouse's white fur stood on end as it suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a blue light beam straight at Bai Yu's head. At this moment, Bai Yu was unable to dodge, so he drew a pale green double-handed greatsword with his right hand, holding it up in front of him to block the attack. With a "ding" sound, Bai Yu discovered that the blue light was actually ice!

  At this time, Bai Yu had already rushed to the front of this white mouse. At this moment, it was too late to think so much, both hands grasped the hilt and heavily smashed down on the white mouse. The white mouse nimbly jumped aside, its small mouth drumming again.

  Bai Yu looked carefully and kicked the ground under Bai Lao Shu with one foot. Bai Lao Shu was still flashing in mid-air, but was directly kicked into the air along with the kick. The blue light deviated as his mouth twisted to the side. At this time, Bai Yu's right hand loosened and his left hand grasped the sword, rapidly slashing towards Bai Lao Shu. This time, Bai Lao Shu was completely finished, instantly cut in two by the sharp blade...

  Bai Yu Song let out a breath, stood up straight, and the large green sword in his hand suddenly disintegrated from the tip, disappearing. He turned around to look at Ye Feng, who had a stunned expression on her face, and laughed happily, "The demon beast was indeed troublesome, but I still defeated it! Haha!"

  Ye Feng was startled back to his senses by Bai Yu's smile and asked blankly, "That big sword just now..."

  Bai Yu's eyes lit up, "It's also a way to apply elemental power, I can condense the wind element into a giant sword as my weapon!" He paused for a moment, "But still, thanks to you, Ye Ge. If it wasn't for your push, I would have died earlier. Hmm, looks like I shouldn't be so careless." As he said this, he rubbed his face and pulled the stunned Ye Feng along, leaving behind only half of the dead old mouse.

  After a while, a black shadow appeared silently, wrapped in a black robe from head to toe, and the dead mouse was already in his hand. "The combat skills are still a bit immature, but it's not bad that you can do this far... a first-class magic beast, Ice Mouse, and he just threw it away... It seems he doesn't know that magic beasts are very valuable yet. On the other hand, the little guy next to him has an amazingly keen intuition for danger... interesting, interesting."

  Then followed in the direction of Bai Yu and Ye Feng...
