Chapter 1071: Chapter 599: Seven Days_2 Chapter 1071: Chapter 599: Seven Days_2 After finishing his sentence, he turned and left without giving the other party any chance to react.
The eunuch hadn't even reacted when the person had already disappeared from view.
“He's gone just like that? Oh dear, Young Master Logan is really too reckless, waiting a bit longer for the emperor to send more experts to protect us wouldn't have hurt. Now he's gone to Snow Mountain alone, all by himself. The road ahead will be tough.”
Seeing this, Sheron Perri's eyes shifted as he stepped forward to console the eunuch.
“Eunuch, don't worry, the captain's actions surely carry his own reasoning and confidence. We should just trust him. Right now, there's nothing else we can do but take good care of the princess, fulfilling the captain's trust in us.”
The eunuch thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he suppressed his other thoughts.
“Hmm, it seems there's no other way, just take good care of the princess.”
Moving ahead, Logan quickly reached Snow Mountain without stopping for a moment.
For some reason, Little White felt somewhat aggrieved.
“Just for that princess, you haven't had proper rest all along the way. Is she that important to you?”
Hearing the jealousy in Little White's voice, Logan smiled wryly, somewhat helplessly.
“You're just a little fox, why are you always so jealous?”
Yet hearing him say that, Little White felt even more displeased.
“Who said I'm jealous? I'm not jealous; I'm just curious. Moreover, she's just a princess. Could it be because of her royal status that you value her so much? I think that eunuch was right; you should have brought more people. Going alone on such a risky adventure is too impulsive.”
Logan, however, didn't agree and just shrugged his shoulders, his demeanor remaining calm.
“I have too many secrets on me that mustn't be known to outsiders. It's better not to involve others; this is good enough.”
“As for the princess, you shouldn't think too much about it. She might have harbored feelings for me before, but that's all in the past now. Still, I knew her, and her injury is somewhat related to me, so making this trip for her is no big deal. Little White, don't overthink it.”
Upon hearing this, Little White wasn't too pleased and just snorted coldly.
“Hmph, I'm not overthinking!”
But hearing Logan personally admit that his relationship with the princess had nothing to do with romantic love, Little White was quite happy.
After appeasing Little White, Logan surveyed the surrounding environment and continued to move forward.
“This place is just a vast expanse of white; you really can't see anything at a glance.”
Indeed, Snow Mountain lived up to its reputation as the most treacherous, and at this moment, its dangers presented themselves.
Perhaps because Little White possessed inherited memories, she reminded him at this moment.
“Master, you must be careful. I've heard that some people who stay in Snow Mountain too long have their eyes turn white, and then they can no longer discern directions.”
“I know, snow blindness; I've already prepared a pair of glasses for myself.”
He put on a pair of black tinted glasses, and the situation improved significantly.
“Let's go, be careful; there might be traps at any moment below.”
Little White had been let out by him, as she herself struggled to come out, insisting on assessing the situation and wanting to fight alongside him.
Logan couldn't dissuade her and had to follow along with Little White in the end.
Since coming out, Little White hadn't left Logan's side.
Hearing his words, even though he complained about the noise on the surface, he was actually very happy.
“Got it.”
Sure enough, Logan's warning was well-founded; they had only walked a few steps farther when the ground suddenly gave way beneath them. If he hadn't reacted quickly, they might have already fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
“Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Snow Mountain to cover such thin layers over so many traps. Little Fox, this mountain could eat people, so you must stick close. I can't afford to be careless.”
His words also had a deeper meaning, as Little Fox tended to get distracted easily.
Sometimes, falling to death wasn't because of insufficient ability, but because of not being alert, not using spiritual power in time to hold oneself.
Without the protection of spiritual power, they were nothing more than mortal flesh and bone.
“I know, Master, I'll always stick by your side. Don't worry, I won't act recklessly. Let's continue on our way.”
On the surface, Little White was shocked, but inside, she was already panicking.
Because it was her who had almost fallen just now, and if her master hadn't grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, securing her life, she might not be alive now.
So, don't be fooled by Little White's seemingly proud demeanor; she was actually startled by the previous incident, deeply shaken, and absolutely obedient to Logan's words.
The two of them continued forward, exploring the situation in the Snow Mountain.
After walking for a while, Logan suddenly stopped and blocked Little White.
“Hold on, don't go any further, I've detected a dangerous aura.”
Little White quickly halted her movements, feeling somewhat puzzled.
She tilted her little fox head, sniffing around.
Soon, her fluffy face looked puzzled.
“Where, where? I can't smell anything dangerous?”
Logan, however, did not answer but instead closed his eyes to sense with his Divine Sense.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He scooped up Little Fox from the ground and ran a considerable distance in an instant.
“Oh my!”
Little Fox was startled but quickly hopped into his arms.
“Master, what's going on…”
Before she could finish her inquiry, movement emerged from the spot they had just leapt from.
A big hole burst open, and a Snow Bear and a Snow Wolf emerged.
Apparently, they had been lying in ambush there not just for a day but for quite a long time.
This was also their hunting tactic, similar to waiting for a rabbit by the tree stump.
Originally, Logan and Little Fox were supposed to be their prey, but they escaped.
The Snow Bear and Snow Wolf both appeared unhappy, their faces fierce.
Little Fox, a natural enemy of theirs, couldn't help trembling as she saw their ferocious expressions and hid behind Logan.
Logan patted her little head, not to blame but to tease.
“What's there to be afraid of? They're just two beasts. Are you scared you can't beat them?”
Little Fox, feeling as if she was also being criticized, remained silent.
“Of course not, but don't trick me! These two demon beasts are very strong, close to Saint Level, far beyond me. And look how they look at me; they see me as food. How can I not be afraid, not hide?”
Even though she possessed the Nine-tailed Fox bloodline, she had been born not long ago.
Her talent was considered good, and her cultivation level had risen rapidly recently.
However, if she encountered experienced demon beasts, she was still no match.
For example, the strength of the two demon beasts in front of her far surpassed hers.
Even if she utilized her Bloodline's Origin, she might not be able to handle them.
Little White's avoidance did not mean the demon beasts would spare her.
From the moment they saw Little Fox, the two demon beasts knew she carried enticing genetic bloodlines; eating her flesh and drinking her blood would greatly enhance their strength.
For demon beasts, this was an irresistible temptation.
Thus, to them, Little Fox was a delicious feast, a tantalizing meal they just wanted to devour.
In addition to Little Fox, there was also this human, who seemed tasty as well.
His cultivation level wasn't low.
If they could eat both, it would be greatly beneficial for their cultivation.
Locking eyes with their bloodthirsty beastly pupils, Logan understood much.
“Hah, it seems that even if we have no intention to confront these two demon beasts, they've already set their sights on us. Now they long to eat our flesh and drink our blood, just waiting to tear us apart and devour us!”
It was better when he didn't go into details, but once he did, Little White couldn't help but feel frightened.
“Eek! Don't talk about it anymore, this is really too scary. Master, you're a bit stronger than them, please take care of the rest. You must try your hardest, don't let them take advantage of us!”
