Mu Rufeng then arrived at the courtyard gate, and after a moment of thought, he soared into the sky and flew out of the courtyard.
As soon as Mu Rufeng left the courtyard, a chill crept up on him.
However, this chill was quick to come and quick to be subdued, as the Power of the Fire Element within his body pressed it down.
His whole body was filled with the aura of flames, dispersing the cold.
Although the chill of the Frost Giant Dragon could also increase Mu Rufeng’s Ice Resistance, it couldn’t grant him immunity to it.
Unless Xiao Long became stronger, the power it could impart to Mu Rufeng would be even greater.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng flew around the Ancient Castle.
It was only then that Mu Rufeng discovered that the location of the Ancient Castle was actually on top of a cliff.
The front of the Castle, which is where the courtyard gate was, faced inward.
The backside of the Castle was a deep and bottomless cliff-edge.
Mu Rufeng could only see clearly within a range of about one mile, anything further obscured by the snowstorm.
Most importantly, the light of the Eternal Oil Lamp was compressed to a radius of a hundred meters.
Prior to this, the range of the Eternal Oil Lamp’s light could reach up to a kilometer.
But when he thought about it, it wasn’t all that surprising, as the Eternal Oil Lamp was at its most powerful in the wilderness area.
That the effect was somewhat diminished in this extremely cold place was normal.
What was most critical, however, was that the soul banknotes in the Eternal Oil Lamp seemed to be consuming very quickly.
Looking from outside the Ancient Castle, Mu Rufeng didn’t spot any peculiarities.
At this moment, a piercing screech resounded from above.
A pair of sharp talons shot down towards Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng reacted swiftly, vanishing from his spot in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away.
A colossal snowy sculpture appeared where Mu Rufeng had been hovering just seconds before.
"Zzzz~~Boom!"
A thunderclap burst forth.
Terrifying thunder erupted from within Mu Rufeng, instantly enveloping the snowy sculpture that had attempted to ascend to the skies.
The snowy sculpture was powerful, an eighth-level Ghost King.
But in Mu Rufeng’s presence, it just wasn’t enough.
The dreadful thunder immediately stunned the snowy sculpture, its white fur singed black, plummeting straight down.
Mu Rufeng flashed again, grabbing the creature’s talons before it hit the ground, and then threw it directly into the courtyard.
With a loud "Boom!" a crater formed in the middle of the hard pathway.
Then, a mass of vines shot out and swiftly entangled the snowy sculpture’s wings, neck, talons, and body.
Mu Rufeng descended from above; it was only now that he could clearly see the full appearance of the snowy sculpture.
Instantly, Mu Rufeng furrowed his brows.
It was said to be a snowy sculpture, but in truth, it should be called a person, no, a humanoid monster.
This was a two-meter-tall female giant, whose lower half was completely identical to a human.
Yet starting from the thighs, it transformed into a pair of sharp talons.
Her hands were not normal either; they were a pair of massive snowy sculpture wings that, when spread, measured ten meters in span.
Just like the Snow Woman in "One Piece."
Another thing, this creature was ugly, its skin wrinkly, and dense sharp teeth protruded from its mouth.
If not for the sight of a few patches of flesh on her chest, one might have mistaken her for a male.
"Hmm? 15?" Mu Rufeng suddenly noticed the number 15 on the creature’s forehead.
Upon closer inspection, there was also a metal ring around her neck which seemed to be almost fused with her flesh.
"Wait, could this be one of the former castle owner’s experimental subjects? Is this Subject Number 15?"
"Does that mean the experimental subjects got out of control, wreaked havoc, and then ran away?" Mu Rufeng speculated in his mind.
"But what does this have to do with participating in the death game?" Mu Rufeng felt that the secrets of the Ancient Castle were indeed numerous.
However, it didn’t matter; no matter how many secrets there were, he would be able to unearth them.
"Roar~~!" At that moment, a fierce roar came from a distance.
Mu Rufeng turned to look outside.
He saw a creature resembling a polar bear running madly towards them from hundreds of meters away.
When it was close enough, Mu Rufeng saw its full appearance.
It was completely a man-bear, a five-meter-tall creature with a human head and a robust bear body, its terrible fangs jutting out of its mouth, a sight that gave one chills.
With another "Boom!"
The man-bear struck an invisible protective barrier about ten meters outside of the courtyard.
The impact caused ripples across the shield, drawing Mu Rufeng’s attention to its existence.
Until that moment, Mu Rufeng hadn’t even realized there was a protective barrier.
Even when the snowy sculpture woman had fallen into the courtyard, the barrier hadn’t intercepted her.
A fearsome aura emanated from the man-bear.
Eighth level, the same eighth level.
Dark guiyao burst forth from the man-bear’s body, pressing against the protective barrier.
Mu Rufeng turned to look at the inside of the house, only to see that the flames in the fireplace had already swelled and the burning rate had greatly increased.
Mu Rufeng understood that the protective barrier was actually the effect of the burning fireplace.
"Interesting," Mu Rufeng chuckled lightly, then released a bolt of lightning, electrocuting the snowy sculpture woman once again.
It was also a precaution in case the creature woke up.
