Originally, Feng Yuan planned to head out with Agunas on their own, but this time, the Big Cat group took the initiative to follow. Considering the strength of Big Cat and Kong Qing, Feng Yuan did not refuse.

As for those two with little combat ability, Pomiti naturally didn’t need to be considered, Little Ice Cream...

Feng Yuan sensed the dense presence of Starforce on the other, suspecting what situation that guy was in. Although it might only have one strike power, that one strike from Little Ice Cream was probably no less than Legendary Level.

In other words, among the Big Cat group, it was actually only Pomiti who had no combat ability. As for Little Ice Cream, if pushed, who knows what might happen?

The Northern Snow Plain is just a general term, actually referring to the entire northern region of the Divine Land Region that’s covered in ice and snow all year round. This area is not entirely within the land of Great Xia, or rather, Great Xia cannot occupy the entire Northern Snow Plain.

Although the Divine Land Region contains a large variety of landscapes, the Northern Snow Plain still occupies one-fifth of the entire Divine Land Region’s land.

This doesn’t even include those areas close to the Northern Snow Plain. Although by definition, those areas do not belong to the Northern Snow Plain, among the populace, these areas adjacent to the Northern Snow Plain, mostly covered in snow and ice, are also referred to as the Northern Snow Plain.

Feng Yuan and the others first arrived at Luolga City, a city standing at the edge of the Northern Snow Plain, and is also one of the border cities of Great Xia.

They needed to obtain an Alliance Snowfield Pass here; otherwise, moving in the snow plain region would be troublesome, as there were small countries scattered around the Northern Snow Plain, and one might accidentally step into their borders.

Hence, the Alliance negotiated with them to establish this special Snowfield Pass.

With a Snowfield Pass, one can freely travel in the Northern Snow Plain. Of course, those core cities might require additional entry registration, but for Feng Yuan and the others, it was sufficient.

Since the Snowfield Pass is issued by the Alliance, allowing free access to most parts of the Northern Snow Plain, applying for it requires a reliable person or Spirit Beast to vouch for you, issued by someone from the Alliance, which Great Xia has no control over.

"I didn’t expect that the Snowfield Pass couldn’t be issued immediately."

After completing the data registration, they were informed that the Snowfield Pass needed to wait for validation and couldn’t be immediately obtained for use, forcing Feng Yuan and the others to stay in Luolga City for a day.

"Actually, I feel you don’t need to get a Snowfield Pass at all."

Veronia said to Feng Yuan while sitting on the Rainbow Bubbles. In its view, Feng Yuan didn’t need to obtain a Snowfield Pass—he was here on Agunas’s invitation to help, not to mention with them, a group of Divine Beasts, even if they accidentally crossed a border, so what?

"Hmm, recklessly wandering around would still be somewhat troublesome, and the matter isn’t urgent anyway. It’s a perfect chance to see around Luolga. Come to think of it, it’s my first time in a place like this."

Due to being close to the Northern Snow Plain, Luolga City was already covered with snow, and the sky was lightly snowing at the moment.

The fluffy fur of the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound occasionally scattered a few sparks, and Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji naturally chose to be near it.

Kong Qing, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything, as its spatial power ensured it was unaffected by the temperature. As for the Big Cat, its fluffy feathers still kept it very warm even in this weather, though summer would be another story.

"The snowy land here, I haven’t really been to such places before, or rather, during the Mythical Era, apart from a few nations, there weren’t any large snow domains."

Veronia spoke from atop the Rainbow Bubble. Being Divine Beasts, they wouldn’t be affected by the environment. Not even in Luolga City, even deep into the Northern Snow Plain, they wouldn’t care.

Wrapping the large cotton coat around himself, Feng Yuan said:

"Let’s find something to eat now. This cold weather makes you hungry faster."

"In this area, we can’t help much. We didn’t plan on staying overnight here from the start."

Veronia chuckled lightly and said, while Agunas swished its tail, saying:

"Need me to help ask around?"

"Well... alright."

Originally, Feng Yuan wasn’t planning to let Agunas help. After all, unlike Long Boduo, who was a well-known travel connoisseur among the Divine Beasts, Agunas...

In Feng Yuan’s view, was even duller than Veronia. Veronia had some pursuit for quality of life due to its past life experiences.

However, if Agunas asked, the information received would be much better than what Feng Yuan could find for himself, given that it had been communicating and coordinating with humans recently, making it more familiar in the human circles.

Information collected through other channels might not compare to direct introductions by the locals, especially the reliable ones who usually know some general situations and unnoted excellent eateries.

Moreover, he wasn’t planning to be here for tourism; it was just the Pass issue that delayed them for a day.

Asking for assistance, Agunas directly used its clone to inquire, quickly getting the answers it wanted.

"Luolga City is currently preparing for the New Year Snowman Festival. If it’s purely to enjoy local food, you can go to Crystal Ice Square. As for amusement projects, they haven’t opened yet due to timing."

With this, Agunas detailed all the local featured snack stores it learned about. After listening, Feng Yuan realized that to visit them all would take more than two days.

"Hmm, let’s head to Crystal Ice Square. Those small shops seem a bit troublesome."

Feng Yuan did want to have a look, but he realized his lack of familiarity with Luolga City’s snacks, so he couldn’t just visit one shop after another.

"Crystal Ice Square... The name sounds strange."

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan questioned Agunas, and with a tail swish, Agunas replied:

"Officially, its name comes from the shining Crystal Stones used in building the square, like ice cubes. In reality, it was originally a gathering place for elite soldiers before battles."

"I see." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Feng Yuan figured Agunas would certainly understand the origin of that place’s name, believing the local people must have told it, or that as the Divine Beast overseeing ancient records, such details wouldn’t be missing from its texts.

As for why the name needed changing in modern times, that wasn’t surprising. Besides those original countries in the Northern Snow Plain, others showed little interest in this land.

During the Dynasty Era, it could avoid some warfare and disputes, but in the modern age, it wasn’t an ideal living place.

Even with Spirit Beasts’ assistance, countries in the Northern Snow Plain did not fare well. Without the help of Divine Beasts, they would be even worse off.

There was no choice. The natural disasters and snow covering the snow plains heavily restricted farming and breeding.

At the very least, from what Feng Yuan understood, most countries were developing underground planting and breeding systems, although these systems couldn’t compare to conventional surface farming and breeding in terms of effectiveness.

The yield and quality were less than half of what could be achieved on the surface. But perhaps due to the special elements in the Northern Snow Plain, the quality of finished Spiritual Medicines and Materials was surprisingly high.

The only trouble lies in the difficulty of planting them. Based on what Feng Yuan knew, the same Spiritual Medicine required double the planting effort in the Northern Snow Plain, with a doubled likelihood of pests and the occurrence of bizarre issues.

This made it impossible to easily expand planting scale, as there weren’t enough people or Spirit Beasts to handle the issues.

These elite soldiers referred to those owned by nations that occupied this area during the Dynasty Era. But in modern times, the name seemed less fitting, hence the change.

"I wonder if the food here would be spicy, given how cold this place is."

Having thought of something, Feng Yuan muttered, and with a tail swish, Agunas said:

"No, the food here is more sweet and heavily seasoned, whether it’s to your taste, I can’t say."

"Hmm, trying it won’t be much of an issue now that we’re here anyway."

Feng Yuan chuckled and didn’t mind; considering the distance between Luolga City and Maomu City, and the different geographical environments, it would be strange if the food were similar.
