Chapter 73: The Mysterious Map Appears!

  Su Dong was well aware that his own bottleneck lay in his footwork, so he doubled his bitter practice, taking advantage of Bao Wang's presence to learn as much as possible from him.

  The autumn in the north comes and goes hastily, and before one's eyes it is already October. The weather gradually becomes cold, while Su Dongpo's "Nineteen Old Poems" also enters its prime season.

  "I don't have much to instruct you on anymore, your current footwork is already close to the limit of your physical abilities. Unless you can make yourself stronger and gain faster speed, it will only be like this."

  "You're already nearly perfect on a technical level, now it's just a matter of how your skills develop from here. There aren't many geniuses who can break through to the Spiritual Warrior stage at 14 years old. As long as you keep working hard, no one can predict what the future holds for you."

  Shan Mang made an exception today and talked a lot with Su Dong. As the sky gradually darkened, Shan Mang and Su Dong returned to their camp by the lake.

  "Towards Bai Xiao Ya, he bowed and said: "Zi Ya, I still have something to do, so I'll be back first. It's almost winter, you should choose a place to live as soon as possible, so we can all rest assured."

  Bai Xiaoya smiled and nodded, having gone through too many changes that made this little girl much more mature. Bai Xiaoya said: "Where to go is your freedom, please go ahead, as for where to go, it's also my freedom, I will consider carefully."

  Shan Meng felt awkward and shrugged his shoulders at Su Dong, who also had no choice but to do the same. Bai Xiaoya was always talking about freedom nowadays, it's almost like a catchphrase for her.

  Shan Mang is like that, he comes when he says he will and leaves when he says he will. They say Gu Ling is the lone wolf king, but in fact wolves prefer to act in groups, while leopards are more independent creatures.

  He nodded at everyone and disappeared into the night without even having dinner.

  "Kasumi complained, 'That Kirameki, we've all invited Lady Shiya to stay in our respective territories, but he hasn't made any indication. However, what he said is also correct, we do need to decide on our next move after all. We can't just keep staying here.'"

  As a result, the four beast kings quarreled again because of Bai Xiaoya's affairs, which had become a habit. Su Dong heard them arguing every day and could get a headache from it.

  Bai Xiaoya held a bowl of hot soup and ran to Su Dong's side, handing it to him, saying: "Drink some while it's hot, I see you're quite tired from practicing martial arts."

  Su Dong pushed away the coarse wooden bowl and said lightly: "I'm not hungry yet."

  At this moment, Bai Xiaoya's mouth was flattened and looked very ugly, with tears almost falling down.

  Although young in age, Bai Xiaoya has already clearly felt that Su Dong is intentionally keeping a distance from herself.

  It's not that Su Dong is heartless, it's just that he knows Bai Xiaoya has a divine memory, and before long, this little girl will become the wise goddess of the spiritual beast clan, transforming into another form.

  In my experience, gods are often heartless, even ruthless.

  The Power God and Todd and the Wisdom Goddess Ziya, every time they enter the Ice Age, they command their spiritual beast tribe warriors to kill each other, which is hard for Su Dong to accept.

  Typical gods' fight, innocent people suffer. Since these two gods can't see eye to eye, why not find a secluded place for a duel? Why drag in the innocent spirit beast warriors?

  Su Dong liked the Ling Beast clan warriors, that day in Dinghai Martial Arts Hall, the warriors died for a belief, which made Su Dong very respectful.

  As a result, Su Dong became even more disgusted with Zi Ya and Todd's behavior. Bai Xiao Ya may look cute now, but when she grows up, she will become the goddess Zi Ya that Su Dong dislikes, which makes Su Dong feel very uncomfortable.

  When it's broken, don't mend it. Su Dong was a very resolute person. Since that's the case, he might as well cut off all ties with Bai Xiaoye. That way, in the future, he wouldn't have to watch Little Treasure become a detestable wise goddess, and his heart would be at ease.

  Bai Xiaoya didn't know any of this, she just instinctively felt that Su Dong's tone was icy and his attitude was completely different from before. She thought she must have done something wrong, her eyes blinking repeatedly, looking like a wronged person.

  Su Dong ignored him and took out the bone pin to examine it.

  This thing was found in the secret room of Tsunami Rock, and it is unknown how many people were killed in that secret room. This bone nail has pierced the heads of countless people, containing a huge evil spirit. Su Dong intends to use this thing as his second great magic weapon!

  The ritual objects are best when they come in a set. Su Dong has the Seven Sons of Jade, seven jade stones that were naturally formed together, produced from the same womb. The mother jade serves as the main ritual object in this set, and it couldn't be more suitable.

  But Su Dong didn't just need a nourishing artifact, he also needed a fierce one!

  The Twelve Knives of Flaying is a typical brutal killing tool, but unfortunately this set of tools is very cruel and lacks a major tool, and this bone nail just fits.

  The bone nail is used to carry out cruel punishment, from the top of the head down, directly piercing the neck and spine, nailing a person so that they cannot move, but also will not die immediately, slowly suffering, until life is exhausted, only then will they die unjustly.

  Don't look down on this humble-looking nail, it's actually a more ruthless tool than the skinning knife. Only such a poisonous object can suppress the ferocity of the twelve skinning knives and become the master controller of this set of artifacts.

  The bone nail was pitch black and razor-sharp, and Bai Xiaoyu was instantly intimidated by this fierce weapon, her tears barely holding back.

  Su Dong smiled slightly and put the bone pin back into the star ring. Since this set of artifacts was made by Su Dong for assassination, it wasn't suitable to be stored on his body, so he usually hid it in the star ring.

  Looking at Bai Xiaoya, Su Dong still couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. Anyway, she was going to leave with the few beast kings, so Su Dong thought he should give her something.

  After some thought, Su Dong's fingers lightly wiped the star ring, and took out that thing called the Ice Casting Map. Although the Ice Casting Map was blank, this metal box was quite good-looking.

  "Tomorrow we'll be going our separate ways, I happened to get this thing, it's quite nice-looking, so I'll give it to you as a keepsake." Su Dong handed the Ice Sculpture to Bai Xiaoya, saying lightly.

  After all, she was a little girl, and Bai Xiaoya smiled as soon as she saw that Su Dong had something to give her, happily holding the beautiful box in her hand.

  It's strange to say, but it's actually snowing in the sky!

  Large snowflakes fell silently, as if geese feathers were dancing in the sky.

  Kiro raised his head and let out a sigh. "This is the north, after all. When it says it's going to snow, it snows. In any case, we have to decide on Lady Viola's destination for tonight."

  The Wolf King of Lone Ridge, the Bear King of Horizontal Heaven, and even the most difficult to deal with Deer King Huai Yan nodded in agreement.

  Xiao Yaotou was still immersed in the joy of receiving Su Dong's gift, she opened the exquisite box and found a deerskin scroll inside.

  "Huh? Brother Su Dong, there's a painting on this scroll. Did you paint it?" Bai Xiaoya asked, holding up the scroll and asking Su Dong.

  Su Dong took back the scroll and was shocked at first sight!

  Under the firelight, there were indeed patterns and words on the scroll. To think that Su Dong had just looked at this ice sculpture not long ago, and it was clear that there was nothing on it, so why would words and patterns appear now?

  The snowflakes continued to fall in the sky, and the characters and patterns on the scroll became increasingly clear.

  Su Dong was taken aback, he understood that this scroll was called the Ice Casting Map, and only in snowy weather would the words and patterns appear!

  All I saw was a clear indication on the map, passing through the mountains and wilderness, pointing north to the Forgotten Continent.

  That is the domain of the Snow Demon, known as the Desolate Ice Field!
