Chapter 695 - 305: Standing Behind the Frost Giant!

Looking ahead, his gaze leapt over the thick snow layer, catching sight of a crystal-clear blue flower swaying in the snow, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Beside this Spirit Plant, two round Ice Dew Rats were hunching their backs. Their light blue fur bristled, making them look like two elastic blue balls, as they shoved each other with their little paws, uttering fierce, threatening squeaks.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Their black eyes were wide open, evidently both little fellas were determined to get this rare food after the snow, unwilling to yield an inch.

Eating this Spirit Plant meant they wouldn’t have to eat for several days.

Chen Yuan quietly watched the scene without intervening.

Unless the situation severely impacts the local ecosystem or poses a threat to humans, he never interferes in the lives of wild Pet Beasts.

But the Frost Giant is different; it is a wild Pet Beast too.

This mysterious giant looked at the two Ice Dew Rats for a while, then slowly approached.

The sudden giant figure instantly caught the attention of the two Ice Dew Rats, halting their fight. Their round bodies shrunk into balls with vigilance, eyes rounded in fear at the colossal form blocking the sky.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The Frost Giant lowered its head, its gentle gaze falling first on the small Spirit Plant, then on the two tense little creatures, rolling out a low, friendly growl from its throat.

Yet, the seemingly friendly growl frightened the Ice Dew Rats. Their bodies trembled as they abandoned their previous grudges, pressing tightly together to resist the terrifying pressure brought by the Frost Giant.

But the Frost Giant carefully knelt a few steps away from the Ice Dew Rats, seemingly trying to lower its enormous body to reduce intimidation.

Then, the Frost Giant gently reached out its giant palm towards the Spirit Plant being fought over, moving as delicately as if handling a Pet Beast Food box.

The Ice Dew Rats shivered with fear at the Frost Giant’s actions, too afraid to resist.

The Frost Giant gently uprooted the flower-shaped Spirit Plant, then placed it in its massive palm, carefully dividing it in two.

The Spirit Plant’s light faded, yet it remained brilliantly hued.

The enormous head bowed again, and the Frost Giant placed the two halves of the flower before the Ice Dew Rats, withdrawing its giant palm, silently watching them.

The two Ice Dew Rats were momentarily stunned, yet the enticing fragrance of the Spirit Plant lingered in the air, causing them to swallow their drool.

Both Ice Dew Rats stared into the giant, gentle amber-like eyes of the Frost Giant. It remained silently knelt, its face still daunting but no longer threatening.

After only a moment’s hesitation, the bolder of the two cautiously extended a paw, grasped the half Spirit Plant before it, and opened its mouth to take a bite.

After the bite, it immediately lifted its gaze to observe the Frost Giant’s reaction, and seeing it remain silent, quickly took another bite.

Seeing this, the other Ice Dew Rat hurriedly picked up its portion and began happily munching.

The tense atmosphere dissipated, leaving only the sound of nibbling on the snowy ground.

The Frost Giant’s daunting face slowly softened, standing quietly, while Chen Yuan, who was observing, nodded gently, a wave of approval crossing his heart.

The origin of this giant remains unknown, but its willingness to mediate disputes implies a good nature.

A Pet Beast of Morning Star Quality lowering its proud head to the weak is truly rare.

Bidding farewell to the reconciled Ice Dew Rats, Chen Yuan continued onward with the Frost Giant.

Soon, they passed through a forest of cold firs adorned with icicles, sunlight dancing between the ice, casting colorful glimmers.

Within the fir forest, they encountered a Water-Walking Cat scaling the cliff.

It turns out the cliff harbored a Spirit Plant, enticing the hungry Water-Walking Cat to pick it.

But the cliff was treacherous and the snow surface slippery, making even the agile Water-Walking Cat’s ascent challenging.

Usually able to walk on water, the Water-Walking Cat was not adept at climbing like the Star Moon Deer.

In a moment of carelessness, the Water-Walking Cat stepped wrongly, plunging towards the ground.

Chen Yuan silently watched from afar, witnessing the Frost Giant’s towering figure already at the cliff’s bottom, swiftly extending a palm to catch the falling Water-Walking Cat.

After a brief misunderstanding, the Frost Giant took the initiative to help the Water-Walking Cat gather the Spirit Plant. Delighted, the latter departed, the Frost Giant’s eyes remaining gentle as if still embracing the spring breeze yet to sweep across the Donghuang Land.

Continuing forward, they occasionally encountered hungry weak Pet Beasts, and the Frost Giant would unexpectedly pause, taking out food Chen Yuan specially prepared for it, decisively gifting it to the weak.

After receiving gratitude from the weak Pet Beasts, the Frost Giant merely chuckled and scratched its head, while Chen Yuan silently observed the scene.

"It seems you really like helping them?"

Walking the road to Xuanhe Town, Chen Yuan suddenly asked.

The Frost Giant was first startled, then a pure smile spread across its face, scratching its head.

It liked to respond to Chen Yuan’s questions with a smile, not wishing to delve deeper into the matter.

Thoughts fluttered in Chen Yuan’s mind as he slowly voiced his guess: "So is your hunger because of them?"

The Frost Giant continued to chuckle and scratch its head, tacitly confirming Chen Yuan’s guess.

Chen Yuan fell into silence for a moment.

No wonder such a powerful Pet Beast was starving. It frequently resolved conflicts among Pet Beasts and proactively offered food. Going hungry was inevitable.

"What a big silly guy," Chen Yuan inwardly mused.
