Chapter 2252: Chapter 2249: Extraordinary Sight

The snow leopard Bai’s eyes clearly told Lin Tian, "You want to ride me? You’re not qualified enough." Being looked down upon by an animal like this, if Lin Tian were an ordinary person, he might let it slide, but he wasn’t. His inherent pride was even greater than Bai’s.

Knowing that Bai could understand human speech, Lin Tian calmly said, "Bai, do you see that mountain peak over there? How about we have a race and see who gets there first?"

"Pfft..." Yan Lingling laughed with amusement and said, "Brother Lin Tian, Bai has four legs, and runs faster than many people. Don’t cry if you lose."

Lin Tian and Bai exchanged a look, and Lin Tian calmly said, "Ling’er, you give the signal."

"Okay!" Yan Lingling, feeling a bit excited, immediately shouted, "Ready... go!"

With a swoosh, Bai transformed into a shadow and shot forward like an arrow, reaching a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. However, Lin Tian remained standing in place, showing no intention of moving.

Noticing that Lin Tian wasn’t following, Yan Lingling turned back and realized that Lin Tian hadn’t moved at all.

"Brother Lin Tian, why aren’t you running?" Yan Lingling shouted loudly.

As she shouted, Bai had already run several hundred meters more. At this moment, Yan Lingling felt a gust of wind, then a blur before her eyes, and Lin Tian was suddenly beside her, running neck and neck with Bai.

"You..." Yan Lingling’s eyes widened in surprise.

Roar...

Bai also noticed Lin Tian, let out a low growl, and accelerated again, trying to increase the distance.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and also sped up, without holding back, quickly surpassing the snow leopard, sending snow flying like a white dragon soaring through the sky.

He ran with straightforward brutality, while Bai was nimble and elusive. Together, they raced through the mountains.

What seemed like a distant peak was quickly drawing closer with Lin Tian’s speed. Soon, he was standing on the ridge. After a moment, a white shadow darted up, and Bai had arrived too.

"Bai, you lost." Lin Tian said easily, confident in his speed.

Bai snorted a few times before calming down, then raised its head to look at Lin Tian. In its eyes were curiosity, confusion, and faint admiration before it slightly lowered its head.

Sometimes, beasts are simple; if you’re stronger than them, they admire you, submit to you. Bai lowered its head, acknowledging Lin Tian’s qualification and strength.

However, Lin Tian’s attention turned to Yan Lingling, this little girl, sitting on Bai’s back without any saddle or stabilizing equipment.

Despite Bai’s rapid running, she could calmly sit on its back without being tossed off, considering that Bai ran in mountainous terrain! ℯℯ𝘭.

Forget being a skilled horse rider, even professional jockeys wouldn’t be able to sit steady in such conditions.

"Brother Lin Tian, why are you staring at me? Come up already, Bai agreed to let you ride." Yan Lingling blinked her big eyes, looking curiously at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, breaking his train of thought, and jumped easily onto Bai’s back. Despite Bai being smaller than a horse, it was very stable carrying two people. The space was a bit cramped, so Lin Tian had to hold the little girl to fit.

"Bai, let’s go home and eat fish..." Yan Lingling called sweetly, and Bai immediately took off running, rushing down the mountain peak.

The way the snow leopard runs is different from a horse; it doesn’t alternate its four legs but often leaps. Bai, carrying two people, could leap several meters at a time, even over a ravine seven to eight meters wide, it could leap across with them.

Its body would lower slightly upon landing, absorbing the impact, so people on its back wouldn’t feel jostled. Moreover, the dense fur on Bai’s back provided a natural cushioning ride.

Riding Bai is certainly more comfortable than riding a horse. Galloping on a snow leopard, leaping through mountains and ice fields, that sensation is far more wonderful than riding a horse galloping, if not for the fear of triggering an avalanche, Lin Tian might have shouted out in delight.

"Ling’er, is Bai a male leopard since it initially rejected me so strongly?" Lin Tian asked curiously, thinking of the repulsion between similar genders.

The little girl gave Lin Tian a scornful look and said indignantly, "Nope, Bai is a girl."

"Oh, so Bai was shy and didn’t want me to ride her," Lin Tian joked.

"Haha, maybe," Yan Lingling replied with a giggle.

Bai let out a low growl during the run, protesting their conversation topic, but of course, the protest was ineffective.

Even though Lin Tian’s speed was faster than Bai’s, Bai knew the way, reducing many hassles, so Lin Tian let Bai lead the way.

It’s said leopards are good at short sprints, but lacking endurance for long distances. However, Bai’s speed and endurance broke this norm, maintaining speed and stability despite crossing several valleys and peaks.

This was probably what Yan Lingling mentioned, that Bai had secretly eaten elixirs, altering its physique.

After running for an unknown distance, passing another mountain peak, a patch of green suddenly jumped into view. All this time it had been a world of ice and snow or barren rocks, and this sudden emergence of green was very striking.

Lin Tian looked far ahead and realized it was a mountain without snow, where green trees thrived conspicuously amidst the icy snowy surroundings.

"Brother Lin Tian, we’re almost at my home." Yan Lingling pointed at the mountain, saying happily.

"It’s truly amazing, surrounded by ice and snow, yet why is there no snow there, instead green plants are growing?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"When I was little, I asked the elders, and they told me it was the power of spells. When I grew up and learned, I realized it was actually a unique geographical climate forming the spectacle."

"Due to the influence of geothermal heat and warm air currents, the mountain’s south side and north side have opposite climates, the north is icy, the south is full of greenery."

"If you must say it’s the power of spells, it’s surely nature’s spell. The way of nature, it’s the most extraordinary cultivator." Yan Lingling said something very philosophical, truly surprising Lin Tian.

"Ling’er, just how old are you?" Lin Tian asked strangely, the little girl seemed immature but sometimes could talk very philosophically.

"Fourteen years old." Yan Lingling answered earnestly.

Only fourteen, Lin Tian had estimated her to be young but never imagined she was so young. Girls at this age usually cling to their parents, but Yan Lingling was already riding leopards, fishing alone in the snow mountains.

After passing the ridges, there was a wide and flat snow field before reaching the miraculous mountain.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain stood several people. If Lin Tian were there, he would recognize them. The old man was Yan Bei, the other young people were Shen Lin, Ji Zimo, Yuwen Xingjian, Wang Lin, Situ Yufeng, and Ghost.

Ling Shuiyao, Liu Xiaoxiao, even Miss and Xiao Manxuan were there, but Huang Xiaopang was absent, and of course, Lin Tian wasn’t there either.

"Lin Tian and Huang Xiaopang are probably lost, I think there’s no need to waste time waiting for them." Shen Lin said coldly.
