2401 Don't Run, Qiaoqiao!
Duan Yue immediately felt a particular sense of danger. He felt like these several dozen vines had come for the little ermine in his chest pocket… Qiaoqiao!
What kind of weird situation was this?
Or was it that he was being overly suspicious and understood incorrectly?
The ice cap ahead suddenly broke apart completely. Now, Duan Yue and Rong Qing could see exactly what was under the ice cap.
A giant cocoon, formed by tree roots amassing together, just appeared like this in front of everyone.
Vines that wriggled like a snake stretched out from the tree roots. There were too many to count, and they multiplied so endlessly that it was impossible to chop them all no matter how they tried.
Duan Yue furrowed his brows.
His party flew up into the air in spite of the rain and circled above the tree.
Spiritual energy coursed through the air as the many Ultramarine Province and Nether Province guards attacked the tree that suddenly shot out from under the ice cap in unison.
Rong Qing's expression was composed, but his eyes were quizzical. "Do you not find it weird that there is a tree growing under this ice cap?"
It was indeed weird, but Duan Yue had no time to ponder over Rong Qing's words right now.
Several hundred vines were engulfing him. It was as if they would not rest unless they destroyed him.
It was at this time that Qiao Mu, who had been napping drowsily, poked her head out.
She just so happened to see the tree that everybody was attacking.
Her heart jolted, and the little lady's black beady eyes immediately turned round!
It was Qiuqiu!
More precisely, it should be Qiuqiu's tree seed fragment!
She immediately reacted and leaped out from Duan Yue's chest pocket without another word.
The small blanket wrapping her up naturally fell as well.
A tiny ball of snow-white swiftly sprung toward the vines on the opposite side.
That scene scared Duan Yue immensely. He immediately recalled the divine energy he had emitted and shouted in fright, "Everyone stop!"
He reached out to grab her, but the little fellow was particularly slippery. She had already sprung to a very thick vine.
When Duan Yue ended up empty handed, he swiftly chased after her.
Vassal Prince Rong also jolted in fright and hastily pursued him. "What are you doing, Your Highness the Chen Prince?"
Duan Yue was horrified as he looked at the tiny ball of snow-white lay on the vine.
The vine she was hugging seemed to turn and look at him. The next second, the thick vine dragged her into a fissure in the ice cap.
"Qiaoqiao!" Duan Yue was overcome with grief and terror. He chased after her and slid into that fissure with a shout.
"Your Highness!!" The Ultramarine Province guards got scared out of their wits.
Sh*t, His Highness actually jumped into that fissure in the ice cap of his own accord!
What should they do now?
The emperor was going to kill them all…
"You all stay here! I'll go check out the situation!" After saying this, Rong Qing also jumped into the fissure after Duan Yue.
The Ultramarine Province guards were flabbergasted by these two masters who had disappeared from their sight without any hesitation.
They wished for nothing more than to wail while beating their chests and stamping their feet!
Mamma mia! They could accept His Highness the Chen Prince being willful, but how come the usually calm and prudent Qing Vassal Prince was also being so willful?
That was the only son of the Qing Vassal King. He was the apple of the vassal king consort's eye!
It was bad. If anything were to happen to His Highness and the vassal prince under the ice cap, the emperor and the Qing Vassal King was going to skin and devour them alive, as well as exterminate all their families…
