Chapter 1529
Although they were still under Little Fairy’s protection, as they traveled deeper into the forest, the chill of the cold began to return, ever so slightly . Even Little Fairy was struggling to withstand the pressure of the freezing force .

Most of the cold air was held back, but some gusts managed to break through . Fortunately, Han Sen’s fitness was of high enough to resist it doing any harm .
Han Sen continued to look around as he went . He had his Dongxuan Aura firing on all cylinders as he tried to find out what was watching him .
The Frozen Forest was very strange . It was no wonder the area was a part of God’s Ruin . Despite giving it his all, Han Sen’s Dongxuan Aura could only cover a hundred-meter radius . He couldn’t see anything beyond that . And furthermore, he was unable to see where something might have been watching from .
As they traveled deeper into the forest, the sensation of being watched continued to increase . Han Sen kept a permanent frown on his face . It wasn’t a good thing to know you were being watched in such a perilous place as God’s Ruin .
“This area’s security is high, but surely nothing can stay here for very long,” Han Sen was thinking .
Soon, Little Fairy quietly shouted, “Be careful! Something is up ahead . ”
Han Sen, Little Silver, and Starsea Beast looked over in the direction she was referring to . Something was moving through the Frozen Forest .

The Dongxuan Aura wasn’t very helpful there, so Han Sen had to resort to his basic, no-frills eyesight . Now, he was seeing things like Little Silver did .
Since they were already there, it wasn’t as if there was a point in heading back, either . So, Han Sen looked at Little Fairy and continued walking . Unsure of what lay ahead, and wishing to find out, they exercised more caution as they moved forward .
Not long after, the shadow in the woods became clearer to them . It was a one-meter tall seahorse . Its body looked to be completely made of ice, and it wriggled as it floated by, as if it was swimming through the air . It was silent in its passing .
The Ice Seahorse saw the group, but it did not appear to be hostile . It just continued floating by, on its way to wherever it was going .
“Daddy, look . Many seahorses . So beautiful . ” Bao’er was pointing at the other side of the forest with a happy expression .
Han Sen looked over to where Bao’er was pointing, and he noticed there were twenty or thirty seahorses floating around in the same manner . The smallest one was only a meter tall, but there were others amidst them of various sizes . The tallest one they could see was four meters high . As the creatures bobbed forward, they looked almost funny .
The seahorses looked very tame, and they all seemed to want to keep to themselves . Han Sen was curious about them, but his Dongxuan Aura had been stifled by God’s Ruin, so he couldn’t tell what power resided inside the seahorses .

Bao’er laughed and jumped onto the back of one of the Ice Seahorses . She held onto its neck like it was an average mare .
Han Sen was shocked by her actions, and he wished to call her back immediately . They did look tame, yes, but who knew if they would remain so docile after being provoked?
Little Fairy made a hushed call . Han Sen turned to look at her, and he noticed she was staring at something that was behind the Ice Seahorse . The expression on her face made it look as if she had seen a ghost .
Han Sen looked over there and was shocked, as well . Behind the Ice Seahorse was another bunch of seahorses .
The heads of these seahorses were bigger, and they were all at least four meters tall . Their bodies looked to have been made of black diamonds, and they looked hardier than steel . They were different from the other Ice Seahorses that the group had previously observed .
Strangely, there was a chain as thick as a human’s arm wrapped around the Black Seahorse’s bodies . It looked like a steel chain, and there were many symbols engraved into the metal .
There weren’t many Black Seahorses, and Han Sen was able to count eleven of them . They all looked the same . They floated in the air, but they weren’t doing so as randomly as the other Ice Seahorses were . They were all aligned, traveling in perfect tandem with each other .

Behind the Black Seahorses, their chains all seemed to connect to something . It was a big, black chimenea that was eight meters tall . It looked like a tall black furnace . The chute had blue flames coming out of it, which were burning fiercely inside it .
But strangely, Han Sen couldn’t feel any warmth coming from it . And when the chimenea came closer, they actually felt colder . It was as if it was releasing cold instead of heat .
The strong, icy force was getting stronger, and even with the shielding provided by Little Fairy, Han Sen felt extremely cold . Not even her control of the ice element was able to protect them from that abhorrent force .
Everyone was trying their best to resist the cold with the power they had, but it didn’t seem to be working very well . Slowly, they were all beginning to freeze .
“We should run and wait until the chimenea has passed! We can come back later,” Han Sen said .
Little Fairy agreed, as did the others . They were all of the mind to vacate the area at once . But unfortunately, their bodies weren’t listening . Their legs were sheathed in a layer of ice .
Quickly, that ice was spreading across their bodies . None of them were able to move . They felt as if they were robots, only able to move a tiny amount .
Only Bao’er, who was sitting upon the back of an Ice Seahorse, was okay .
Everyone was shocked by what was going on, so Han Sen summoned his God geno core . It spawned ruby wings behind him, and his whole being began to glow red .
That power pushed the cold back outside of him and kept the icy force from affecting him .
Han Sen wanted to bring his companions away, too, in case something even worse was about to happen . But suddenly, they saw the Black Seahorses stop pulling the chimenea . Then, they all looked at Han Sen .
Han Sen’s heart jumped, and he said, “Oh, no! Has my performance made them hostile to me?”
It was then that Han Sen realized they weren’t looking at him; they were looking at Bao’er, who was back on his shoulder .
Bao’er was not affected by the cold at all, and she sat on Han Sen’s shoulder, dangling her legs . She was checking out the Black Seahorses and their black chimenea .
