Chapter 11 Frost Fall Mountain Range (Seeking Investments and Followers)_3

"Meow!" (Frost Storm!)

A Frost Storm spewed toward the descending Ice Trace Claw as Lin Su, exhausted from excessive physical exertion, held Qiuqiu close and curled his body, turning his back to the Snow Lynx.

The next moment, a piercing pain shot through his back.

The Ice Trace Claw had indeed been weakened by its clash with Qiuqiu's Frost Storm, its force slightly reduced, yet the disparity in strength between them was too vast. Even after being weakened, the Ice Trace Claw remained terrifyingly formidable.

Just as the Snow Lynx was smugly attempting to cross the boundary and drag Lin Su and Qiuqiu back to its territory, a sudden change occurred.

The ravaging snow of the Frost Fall Mountain Range quietly stagnated, a terrifying presence descending slowly with a soul-shaking oppression. A beast as large as a small hill appeared in an instant.

It was a golden eagle of mountainous size, its feathers shimmering with a cold light like blades. Its sharp Claw Blades caused ripples in the space, leaving little doubt that a single forceful strike could tear the fabric of space itself.

Atop this terrifying creature stood a man.

The man quietly looked at the Snow Lynx, who was pressed fiercely into the snow by the oppression, nearly fainting with fright, and said faintly, "You're lucky. One more step, and I would have slain you right here."

"You didn't cross the boundary, so scram."

The pressure quietly relaxed, and the Snow Lynx, regaining the ability to move, didn't utter another word as it frantically sprinted deeper into the Frost Fall Mountain Range.

The man leaped down from the giant eagle, looking at the young man on the ground struggling to support himself, his face twisted in severe pain and his body shivering involuntarily. Observing the deep, bone-visible wounds on the young man's back and the unscathed Xue Henqing in his arms, he remained silent for a long while.

Purple-black light patterns slowly intertwined at his feet into a complex and dazzling pattern, and a towering tree descended behind him. As soon as it appeared, the surroundings were enveloped in greenery and vitality, numerous light-green dots scattering like fireflies, bearing life and healing powers.

"Posha Ganlin, save him."

"Sasa! (￣▽￣)ノ" (Leave it to me!)

The green light surged into Lin Su's back wound like a tide, the wound healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Su felt the numbness and pain at the site on his spine vanish at that moment, a soothing sensation making him involuntarily groan.

As the wound began to heal superficially, Lin Su's face finally regained some color, and he looked gratefully at the man, "Thank you, senior, for helping."

The man said nothing, retracted the towering tree, stepped onto the giant eagle, and soared upwards, vanishing in an instant.

Secretly memorizing the senior's appearance, Lin Su looked at Qiuqiu in his arms, who was anxiously and worriedly looking at him, and smiled slightly, "It's okay now, let's go home."

"Meow... (ฅ﹏ฅ)" (I was too weak...)

"Don't say that," Lin Su petted Qiuqiu's head, his face brightening with a smile, "We will train together, and soon we will become much stronger. This is just the beginning."

The mysterious Beast Tamer had only healed Lin Su's life-threatening injuries, stopping the bleeding and accelerating the healing of the wounds. Lin Su had not fully recovered, and the excessive bleeding had also weakened him, making his journey back appear faltering.

Facing Lin Su returning home injured, his mother's words were filled with care and reproach, her eyes red with heartache, while his father, although casually saying things like "What's a man without some wounds," had Azi prepare the medicine faster than anyone else.

Lin Su had not forgotten the reason for his severe injuries, having already prepared an explanation beforehand, which his parents easily accepted—he had contracted with a Snow Lynx in the Frost Fall Mountain Range.

Although there were some minor incidents, the deceptive plan was smoothly completed.

After drinking the medicinal soup for healing, Lin Su placed Qiuqiu back into the Beast Taming Space and soon fell deeply asleep under the effects of the medicine.

...

Blue Star.

Having just awakened, Lin Su summoned Qiuqiu from the Beast Taming Space and immediately opened his communicator.

He had not forgotten that, before heading to the Divine Martial World, he had submitted a new evolution path to the Beast Taming Association.

Even though it was definitely too soon for the review to be completed, he couldn't help but want to take a look.

Upon logging into the Beast Taming Association platform, an unread message popped up instantly.

[Regarding the review result of your submitted evolution path]

Hm?

The results came out so soon?

Lin Su was slightly startled, followed by a darkening of his expression.

They sent the reply overnight...

Could it be that it didn't pass the review?!
