"Is this the North Country Forest Mountain? It's so beautiful, I've only heard about it, I've never been here..."

Phoenix said, her eyes wide with excitement.

"Cough cough, we're on a mission, not on vacation."

Qin Feng said.

He found a rather thick tree branch, about as thick as a calf, and then said, "Alright! Then let's have some fun."

"How are we going to play?"

Phoenix asked, puzzled.

"Just hold on tight to me."

Qin Feng said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Then.

He put one foot on the branch first, pushing off with the other foot with force!

After that.

The branch under his feet, like a skateboard, slid rapidly down the snow slope several thousand meters high!

"Ah—!!"

Phoenix, startled by the extreme speed, clung tightly to Qin Feng's neck and began to scream.

Qin Feng, meanwhile, controlled the branch sliding swiftly.

When they reached an elevated bump in the ground, he performed a 360-degree aerial flip, landing back on the branch to continue sliding downwards.

"Isn't it exhilarating?"

Qin Feng asked Phoenix.

But Phoenix had been so scared that she was beside herself with fear, yelling loudly at him, "Stop, stop now!! I can't take it anymore, stop, stop—!!"

The more she said.

The more excited Qin Feng became.

He kicked off the ground with his right foot again, speeding up even more than before...

Before long.

The pair finally slid down the several-thousand-meter-high snow slope, arriving at the foot of the mountain.

"Ha-ha, wasn't that incredibly thrilling? It's been a long time since I've been snowboarding down such high mountains."

Qin Feng said, still excited from the experience.

Back then.

He had once played like this on the Northwest Tianshan Snow Mountain with the Holy Daughter of Xinghua Gully.

However, at that time, he was too weak.

It was the Holy Daughter who took him sliding down the mountain, and in the end, he fainted from fright.

Later, the Holy Daughter had to help him breathe to wake him up.

Now that he thought about it.

So many years had already passed.

At this moment.

After Qin Feng stopped, he saw that Phoenix did not respond to his calls, and said in surprise, "Hey, hey, you didn't faint from fear as well, did you?"

When he laid her down to check.

Sure enough.

She, like him back then, had fainted from the thrill.

Qin Feng was about to save her.

At this moment.

He suddenly felt a sense of danger from behind!

Turning back to look.

It was a wolf!!

The wolves here were much larger and more ferocious than those in Da'an Ridge, far more so than in other places.

This was a place in the Hidden World.

Where the Spiritual Energy was rich.

Whatever creatures lived here were stronger than those elsewhere.

The size of this wolf was almost comparable to that of a horse!

It was greedily eyeing Qin Feng, baring its fangs, ready to attack at any moment.

"Perfect!"

Qin Feng's eyes lit up and he said to it, "Wolves are social animals, you must have many companions around here, right?" * is the home of this chapter

"..."

The wolf didn't understand his words, but seeing that he was not afraid of it at all, it let out a howl.

Soon.

A large pack of snow wolves all rushed over!

There were at least a thousand of them, each one with a massive physique!

And leading them.

Was a completely white wolf.

As soon as it appeared.

All the other snow wolves instinctively backed away.

Clearly, it was the Wolf King!

"The Wolf King has arrived, excellent, seems like my luck isn't too bad." Qin Feng smiled.

At this moment.

The Wolf King, baring its gleaming fangs, already pounced towards him!

Qin Feng calmly took out a jade amulet, held it in front of the Wolf King, and activated it with Inner Strength!

Carved on the Jade Pendant were the Demon King's eyes, flickering with a sinister light!

In an instant!

The Wolf King halted, then proceeded to prostrate on the ground, bowing to Qin Feng!

The other thousand wolves also knelt down in submission.

That's right.

What Qin Feng used was the Demon King Jade Pendant, taken from Li Liangsheng's hands, capable of intimidating the Beast Heart, making these wolves subconsciously regard him as the "Demon King" and bound to obey his commands.

"Not bad."

This was his first time using it, and it felt quite effective.

Following that.

Qin Feng took out the fragmented Heavenly Map he had obtained from One-eyed Dragon at the Wealth God Inn and showed it to them, asking, "Do you know where this place is?"

He had been to North Country Forest Mountain before.

He vaguely remembered seeing the arrangement of a few trees in the fragmented map and a small river depicted in it.

But he was too young when he visited and couldn't remember clearly.

It was unclear whether it was due to the Demon King Jade Pendant, but the pack of wolves seemed to understand Qin Feng's intent this time, glanced at the map, then shook their heads.

"If you haven't seen it, then go help look for it! It's somewhere in North Country Forest Mountain, report back to me once you find it."

Qin Feng said.

Upon hearing this, the Wolf King respectfully nodded, then led the pack of a thousand wolves and immediately vanished into the woods.

The range of their intellect being subdued depended on the strength of Inner Strength of the Jade Pendant's holder.

Qin Feng didn't know about others.

He could sense that, with his Inner Strength activating the Jade Pendant, those wolves would remain in the "Demon King's Intimidation" state within a 30-kilometer radius.

Of course.

If they ran beyond thirty kilometers, their minds would gradually break free from the "Demon King's Intimidation".

Furthermore.

With Qin Feng's current level of Inner Strength, the Jade Pendant could sustain this effect for three days and three nights.

After this period.

The intimidating effect would slowly fade away.

Having dealt with these matters.

Qin Feng then turned to look at the fainted Phoenix and let out a long sigh, saying, "Ah, if not me, then who will descend into hell? I'll have to make a sacrifice."

Saying thus.

He unzipped Phoenix's down jacket at the chest, pressed on her heart a few times, and then began to give her artificial respiration.

After several attempts.

Finally, Phoenix slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, Qin Feng's mouth was right on hers, startling Phoenix who nearly fainted again, and she quickly pushed Qin Feng away, loudly cursing, "You lecher, what are you doing?!"

"I'm saving you! What else would I be doing!"

Qin Feng retorted.

"..."

Phoenix, feeling immensely frustrated, accused, "You deliberately took me skiing, deliberately made me faint, and then deliberately gave me artificial respiration just to take advantage of me, right!"

Qin Feng, equally speechless, spread his hands and said, "Do you have a persecution complex or something? I deliberately took advantage? My love is all for my wife. To save you, I sacrificed a bit of my purity, and I'm even feeling sorry for my wife..."

"You..."

Phoenix, red-faced with anger, exclaimed, "I am cutting all ties with you!"

At that very moment.

Suddenly, a group of people arrived!

"Look quick, there are two people over there!" one of them shouted.

Qin Feng looked up.

There were about a dozen people, both men and women.

All of them dressed in uniform blue and white garments with longswords at their waists.

At first glance.

They resembled those Cultivation Disciples from TV shows.

All their clothes had the character "Arrogant" on them!

"These two must also be here looking for the 'Ghost Immortal Cave', what should we do? Should we dispose of them?" one person said.

"Wait!"

A sword-wielding woman saw Phoenix and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Are you Xiao Feng?"

"Zhiyun?"

Phoenix was also startled.

Seeing this, the people asked Zhiyun, "Junior sister, you know her?"

"Of course I know her!"

Unable to contain a smile, Zhiyun said, "How could I not recognize her? The 'renowned' Phoenix!"

In her words.

There was a thick undercurrent of sarcasm…
