The palm-sized snowflakes fell endlessly. Most areas in northern Hua Xia were covered by the blizzard. After half a day, the people’s worries had turned into reality.
Due to the endless heavy snowfall, a thick layer of snow had soon accumulated on the ground, causing a severe snow disaster in various cities.
Although the respective government office and military departments had called for the citizens to start removing the snow not long after the heavy snowfall started, accidents arising from the snow disaster appeared one after another across the various cities.
Many buildings that weren’t firm enough directly collapsed due to the thick snow.
When sporadic accidents started appearing in various cities, the government and military gave the orders, requesting all beastmasters join the operation in removing snow together with their respective subdued beasts, under the lead of the relevant departments.
With the masses of beastmasters joining in removing snow, the disaster began to be contained.
Even so, no one showed any happy looks on their faces, because the heavy snow was still ongoing. No one knew when it would stop.
If the heavy snow persisted, huge losses were inevitable in the end, even if everyone joined in on the snow removal operation.
Also, the heavy snowfall had severely affected traffic. There were sporadic cases of rioters appearing in various cities, taking the opportunity to rob beast card shops or exotic beast material shops, causing great disturbances.
Facing these lawless scum, the military liaised with the government departments in those cities to quickly mobilize large numbers of officers to suppress those rioters, not going easy on them at all.
The schools in the various cities affected by the snow were also closed, with the military’s beastmaster teams stationed there to remove the accumulated snow in a methodical manner.
Huang Tielan didn’t return to the Huang family’s ancestral home. Instead, she went to Zhang Che’s villa and started removing snow together with Liu Gang’s squad.
Fortunately, since Liu Gang’s squad were all high-tier beastmasters, and each of them were equipped with powerful subdued beasts, removing the accumulated snow in the vicinity of the two villas proved to be no problem for them.

It wasn’t only Hua Xia. In the northern hemisphere across all of Mercury, almost every region north of the temperate zone was experiencing heavy snowfall. Snow disasters were happening at the same time on a global scale!
The severe change in climate had left the exotic beasts in many areas of the northern hemisphere feeling restless.
They seemed unable to adapt to such a climate and had started to leave their original resting grounds, aimlessly migrating in all directions.
Of course, they were mainly moving south towards the warmer regions.
With that, all of the northern hemisphere, big and small cities, entered a high alert state, ready for combat at any time, in case those migrating exotic beasts decided to attack human cities without discrimination.
The whole world seemed to have suddenly become unfamiliar in just a day, and the root cause behind this change was likely the hundred and eight huge black doors scattered across the globe.
The demonic invasion wasn’t as simple as just the army from before…

Zhang Che was still deep underground in the beast world, having no idea of the drastic changes on Mercury.
At present, he was showing a shocked and overjoyed expression.
Under the illumination of the flames around the Scarlet Flame Drake, a few dozen meters in front of Zhang Che was the deepest area of the underground cavern. A small pond-like depression sat on this area, with a layer of creamy white fluid in it, emitting a terrifyingly cold aura.
Despite being dozens of meters away, Zhang Che could feel the cold aura from that layer of creamy white fluid, directly penetrating his beast card armor and seeping into his bones.
At the same time, there was a mass of pure, vigorous spiritual force coming from the pool of creamy white fluid, not dissipating at all.
“This… this should be the heavenly treasure of this place!” Zhang Che grew so excited his whole body was shaking slightly.
He finally understood why so many five-star gold-quality Extreme Yin Bats were nurtured in this underground cave.
If he hadn’t discovered this place, those Extreme Yin Bats might keep evolving. Who knew, perhaps they might become a group of mid-tier legend-quality beasts one day!
Of course, it was impossible for the dozens of Extreme Yin Bats to all advance into legend-quality. After all, although the pool of creamy white fluid contained shockingly potent spiritual force, it was impossible for the pool to support the evolution of so many Extreme Yin Bats.
However, maybe that same threateningly cold creamy white fluid and its shocking spiritual force might be produced continuously from the unique environment?
“If we added a little of this during the refining of medicinal pills, the efficacy of the spiritual herbs should be brought out to a large extent…” Zhang Che narrowed his eyes slightly, not caring about the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s anxious movements underneath him, wanting to bring back some of this creamy white fluid back.
“Don’t worry. There’s a lot of this treasure. More than enough for you to advance. I’m only taking a portion of it,” Zhang Che calmed the dragon, patting the latter’s restless body. Afterwards, he jumped off the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back and quickly went up, forcibly enduring the freezing cold air. He took out a few jade bottles from his spatial storage and dipped them into the pool of fluid, wanting to fill them up to bring home.
However, just as he came into contact with the creamy white fluid, an extremely cold aura quickly swept up along the jade bottle, invading Zhang Che’s body. Even the six-star legend-quality Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm armor couldn’t block it.
“Shit!” Zhang Che cried out in shock. He quickly retracted his hands as if he felt an electric shock. The jade bottle directly slipped off his hand and fell to the ground, shattering to pieces.
“This thing actually contains such heavy cold aura. I’m afraid it can’t be used to refine pills…” Zhang Che furrowed his brow, giving up on the idea of collecting the spiritual fluid.
The extreme Yin spiritual force was truly too tyrannical. It probably couldn’t be absorbed by the human physique.
Zhang Che sighed helplessly, then turned to look at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, beckoning him, “Come here, this treasure is all yours.”
Hearing Zhang Che summoning him, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon immediately cried out excitedly. He quickly shot forth, opening his mouth and drew in the small pool of creamy white fluid into his mouth like a whale sucking in water.
Shortly afterwards, an intense spiritual fluctuation spread from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s body. He couldn’t help opening his mouth and letting out a high-pitched cry. Then, his body turned into a streak of five-colored light and directly flew into Zhang Che’s brow.
Zhang Che was wild with joy. Without a doubt, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would advance after digesting the creamy white spiritual fluid!
Not only that, given how terrifyingly strong the spiritual force contained in the creamy white fluid was, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would probably advance to epic-quality directly. Perhaps, he might even advance a tier or two in level!
“My boy, it’d be awesome if you can advance to eight-star epic-quality!”
Without a doubt, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would become the strongest beast among all his subdued beasts and pets if he could really advance to eight-star epic-quality. The dragon’s attacks would even be stronger than Zhang Che wielding the scarlet and white sword!
In that case, as long as Zhang Che didn’t encounter a divine-quality beast, he wouldn’t be in any danger, and could take down anything he came across!
