Boom.
After Augustine killed the Snow Eagle King, his body shot up into to air and flew towards the mountaintop of the Snow God Mountain.
Everyone else followed him to the mountaintop as well.
All these self-cultivators from the Tiger Continent wanted to obtain the Spring of Life; therefore they all rushed towards the mountaintop, except for Qingfeng Li who stayed in the same position.
Qingfeng Li had the strongest spirit strength out of all. He was the first to notice that the Snow Eagle King was still alive. Even those snow demonic snakes could not be killed so easily, so how could the Snow Eagle King die like this?
Qingfeng Li smiled gently and walked towards the Snow Eagle King, looking at it quietly.
"Stop pretending to be dead, I know you are still alive," Qingfeng Li looked at the Eagle King and said.
However, the Eagle King remained motionless on the ground, with no breath or heartbeat, just like a dead body.
"Snow Eagle King, I will chop your head off, grill your body, and eat it if you continue to pretend you are dead," Qingfeng Li sneered and threatened the Eagle King.
Even with Li's threat, the Eagle King still remained on the ground motionless.
"Boss, maybe this eagle is really dead. I can't sense any signs of life from it," Daoist pointed at the Eagle King and said.
Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, "There are many techniques that can allow you to hide your vital signals. Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily real."
Daoist nodded and agreed with Qingfeng's comment, as he thought it was very reasonable.
In the Dragon Continent, there was a man who practiced the Black Tortoise's Techniques. This man could hide his own life force and pretend to be a dead guy.
Deng!
Qingfeng Li withdrew his Golden Light Sword as the sharpness of the sword split the air. Qingfeng Li slashed towards the Eagle King and was about to decapitate its head.
Right at that crucial moment, a bright white energy veil appeared on top of the Eagle King's head and blocked Qingfeng's attack.
At the same time, the Snow Eagle King opened its eyes. Its life force started recovering. However, it was still extremely weak.
"How did you know I am still alive?" the Snow Eagle King asked Qingfeng Li with a gloomy face.
Qingfeng Li smiled gently and said, "Augustine was powerful, but you are the godly guardian beast of the Snow God Mountain. I didn't think you could be killed so easily."
After hearing what Qingfeng Li said, the Eagle King was shocked. It never would've thought that Qingfeng Li would be smart enough to see through its fake death.
"Snow Eagle King, you are the godly guardian beast of this place. You should know where the Spring of Life is. Take us there," Qingfeng Li said with a gentle smile.
The Eagle King shook its head and directly denied Li's request.
With the Snow Eagle King's rejection, Qingfeng Li pulled out a feather from its body. It started bleeding all over the ground.
Black Puppy and the Cat of Fate rolled their eyes as they saw the action. Qingfeng Li did the same thing to them - pulling out their hair if they didn't comply.
The Eagle King's feather got pulled out, and it started to scream in pain. "This Qingfeng Li is such an a**hole, how dare he pull out my feather," the Snow Eagle King thought.
"Take us to the Spring of Life. Or else I will pull out all your feather," Qingfeng Li threatened the Eagle King with a cold smile.
The Eagle King's face became angry and frightened as it heard Qingfeng's comment. The Eagle King valued its feathers very much. Without the protection of its feathers, it could die instantly when exposed to the harsh weather of Snow God Mountain.
"I will take you there," the Eagle King nodded and said.
With the Eagle King's lead, Qingfeng Li and his people arrived at the mountaintop of the Snow God Mountain.
Qingfeng Li encountered a few demonic beasts on their way to the mountaintop. However, the beasts did not attack, seeing the Snow Eagle King by their side.
The mountaintop of Snow God Mountain had a small spring, that was around 20 square meters big.
The color of the spring water was green, not blue or white, and was filled with the aura of life.
Green represented life, vitality, and growth.
"Boss, is this the Spring of Life?" Daoist pointed at the spring and asked.
Several clumps of grass grew around the spring, filled with vitality.
It is important to mention that the peak of the Snow God Mountain was eight thousand meters above ground, with a temperature of negative 50-degrees Celsius. Normal plants and demonic beasts couldn't survive here, so everyone was shocked by the fact that the grass clumps were able to grow healthily around the spring.
Qingfeng Li had never seen the Spring of Life before. He turned around and asked, "Snow Eagle King, this green spring water is the Spring of Life?"
The Snow Eagle King nodded and said, "Yes, this is it."
The Eagle King's eyes moved slightly when he replied. Nobody noticed the tiny movement, not even Qingfeng Li, except the Cat of Fate.
The Cat of Fate was the Ancient Godly Beast of the Alps Mountains. However, after the Ancient War on Earth, its strength was weakened. The Cat of Fate's face slightly changed as it stared at the Snow Eagle King.
The Cat of Fate was familiar with the Snow God Mountain as it has been here before. Last time it was here, everything was white, covered with heavy snow and there was a small white spring.
Weirdly, a green spring was now on the mountaintop, carrying an odd and mysterious feeling.
As the Cat of Fate saw Qingfeng Li moving towards the Spring of Life, it opened its mouth and said, "Wait!"
Qingfeng Li stopped and asked, " Cat of Fate, didn't you say the Spring of Life is on the mountaintop? Why are you stopping me?"
The Cat of Fate shook its head and said to Qingfeng Li telepathically, "I have seen the Spring of Life. The water should be white in color, like the snow, not green."
"Cat of Fate, could the color of the spring water change?"
"Impossible. The Spring of Life can only be in white color. Also, it has the ability to move. It was here in the past, but that doesn't mean it is still going to be here."
"So, you are saying this is a fake Spring of Life?" Qingfeng Li frowned his eyebrows and asked the Cat of Fate telepathically.
The Cat of Fate nodded.
Qingfeng Li stopped moving forward and started thinking.
"Qingfeng Li, the Spring of Life is right in front of you. Why did you stop?" the Snow Eagle King said after it saw Qingfeng Li stopped.
Qingfeng Li coldly smiled and stared at the Eagle King. Between the Eagle King and the Cat of Fate, Qingfeng Li chose to believe in the Cat of Fate.
If this green spring water wasn't the Spring of Life, there must be something unimaginably dangerous about it
