When the group of ladies noticed Yuan stopping right above them, they hastily retrieved their weapons and prepared to fight him.
"What do you want from us, you stalker?" one of them shouted at him.
Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Stalker? Just because we're heading in the same direction doesn't mean I am stalking you. It's just a coincidence," he calmly replied.
"Then why did you stop? If you're not here for us, then hurry up and get lost!"
After a moment of silence, Yuan responded, "In that case, I'll stop bothering you and be right on my way. Sorry for the disturbance."
Without another word, Yuan flew away.
"What a creepy fellow."
"Right?"
Only after Yuan's presence vanished entirely did the group allow themselves to breathe freely, settling back into their rest. However, their rest was short-lived, as the earth beneath them quaked without warning, sending a jolt of alarm through the group.
"W-What's going on?!"
The leader's voice rang out sharply, "An ambush! Take to the air!"
At that instant, the ground split wide, and from its depths burst a colossal serpent, its body clad in translucent scales that gleamed like sculpted ice.
"It's a White Hell Glacial Serpent! The strongest magical beast in the second region! Run! We don't stand a chance against a monster like that!"
"S-Scatter!"
The group quickly scattered in different directions, hoping to confuse the serpent. But the beast was swift and decisive, striking immediately at the weakest among them.
Unfortunately, there was nothing anyone could do for her. After several moments of desperate struggle, the female cultivator was devoured by the beast.
However, the beast was not satisfied and immediately chased after its next prey.
In truth, Yuan had noticed the magical beast and wanted to warn them, but they chased him away before he could do so, even calling him a stalker.
A few days later, Yuan stepped into the third region. Here, the hail grew even more violent, its force great enough to pierce through ordinary spiritual energy. To withstand it, one needed Immortal Qi-making this region accessible only to Immortal cultivators.
<Your Cold Resistance has improved>
Though his Cold Immunity was progressing much faster than the second region, it was hardly enough to satisfy Yuan, so he continued going deeper.
