Such sharp teeth...

  Chen Yue was speechless.

  The frozen rabbit swallowed the small piece of crystal as if it were eating candy, with a look of infinite satisfaction on its face.

  The life essence core, which had lost a corner, trembled as if it were alive. Chen Yue strangely knew that it was in fear and begging for mercy.

  However, how could the frozen rabbit give up the big meal that was already within its reach? It leaped high again, and when it landed, another corner of the life essence core was gone.

  After swallowing the second piece, the frozen rabbit looked up at the life essence core in the air, and a look of extreme eagerness suddenly appeared in its big eyes.

  Several drops of mysterious silver substances flowed down from the break of the life essence core, mixed with a faint cyan color, seeming a bit impure. But in Chen Yue's eyes, they were so crystal clear and full of a kind of otherworldly luster.

  "These substances..." Chen Yue was shocked all over his face. Just as he was about to step forward to check, an overwhelmingly suffocating pressure suddenly descended. That powerful oppressive force was something Chen Yue had never felt even on Venia.

  That feeling was like a lofty king seeing a humble beggar rudely staring at him and getting furious.

  Sighing deeply, Chen Yue knew that this mysterious substance was not something he could pry into at present. He couldn't even bear the pressure it carried on its own. Perhaps the powerful deterrence of the life essence core to other creatures was also because of it.

  The frozen rabbit, however, opened its mouth wide as if it didn't notice anything and sucked up these silver substances without missing a drop, with an expression of enjoying the nectar of the gods.

  After losing these silver substances, the life essence core seemed to have lost its soul, floating in the air blankly, and was completely swallowed up by the frozen rabbit bit by bit.

  If other apostles saw this scene, they would probably be scared silly on the spot.

  That a familiar could swallow the life essence core was something that no one would believe if it was told. You should know that even Chen Yue and the frozen rabbit combined could break the invisible passage. Then it would be easier for other higher-rank apostles. If familiars could devour each other, perhaps the apostles would have already killed each other long ago. There would be no such situation as it was now.

  Chen Yue didn't know about this point, but it didn't prevent him from hiding this secret deeply. The key points could be deduced with just a little thought. However, after all, the frozen rabbit wasn't a native familiar in this world. Even if it was a bit more special, Chen Yue could still accept it.

  After finishing the big meal, the frozen rabbit didn't change in shape, but the two life halos became deeper.

  "Goo, goo" It chirped a few times in satisfaction, then happily hopped in front of Chen Yue, jumped into his arms, and affectionately stretched out its little tongue to lick his injured fist.

  There was a thin layer of silver on its tongue. With its affectionate movement, it was smeared on the wound, and a very small part even melted into the flesh and blood.

  Chen Yue's heart skipped a beat. These seemed to be those silver substances. Perhaps because they had been transformed by the frozen rabbit, they no longer had the previous pressure but instead contained a mysterious energy. Soon, the wound had a numb and itchy feeling.

  A miracle happened. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, his hands returned to their original state or even better.

  "It has such an effect." A strange look flashed in Chen Yue's eyes. The frozen rabbit's more affectionate actions than before also made his heart stir.

  Although the compatibility between him and the frozen rabbit was already above "familiar", and the frozen rabbit often had affectionate actions, it was still far from the intimacy at this moment.

  He looked at the frozen rabbit in surprise, and just happened to see that its big beautiful ruby-like eyes were full of closeness and admiration, without the slightest bit of strangeness.

  "Could it be?" Thinking of this, Chen Yue felt his heart beating violently.

  He sat down impatiently, calmed down his mind and meditated for a moment, and then perceived the source space.

  The source space was still the same at this time, but Chen Yue was pleasantly surprised to find that the power that had confined it had loosened. It was a real loosening, indicating that he was on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck.

  The source of life was a little bigger than before. Chen Yue understood that it was because of the life force he had absorbed just now. But this wasn't his purpose either.

  After thoroughly perceiving it in the starry sky-like scene of the source space, Chen Yue finally found a dim moon behind the dazzling life source like the sun. Its size was only one-tenth of that of the life source, and it was covered with coldness all over. But Chen Yue felt an extremely familiar aura from it.

  This was the life source of the frozen rabbit.

  Chen Yue couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. Incorporating the life source of a familiar into the source space was an insurmountable threshold for many apostles, and he had finally managed to do it.

  However, Chen Yue's expression became solemn. Didn't it mean that after incorporating the life source of a familiar into the source space, one could break through smoothly? Why was he still stuck at the most critical moment?

  After taking a closer look, Chen Yue found that the moon representing the frozen rabbit was just an image, only having an outline. Its real form seemed to still remain in another space. Now, at most, it was just opening a passage between the two spaces. Indeed, it could be seen and its aura could be felt, but it was necessary to 引渡 it over to complete the task.

  It could be said that this was a prelude.

  After exiting the source space, a bitter smile appeared on Chen Yue's lips. Well, this was also progress...

  He cast his eyes towards the distant Ice Mountains. It seemed that he still had to make a trip there. He hoped that he could really break through in the ice and snow environment.

  The higher the compatibility, the more difficult it was to improve. Although he was only one step away from "intimacy" now, it might still take years and months. He didn't want to waste the last time in the training room, so he could only try his own method.

  The restrictions of the duel arena would disappear only when the life-and-death duel ended in three days. So even if Chen Yue wanted to rush to the Ice Mountains immediately, he couldn't do it. As for how to spend these three days...

  Chen Yue smiled faintly and looked towards the other end of the duel arena.

  Over there, there was still a bored loli waiting for him.

  ...

  After spending about half an hour slowly walking back to the teleportation point, Chen Yue immediately saw the restless loli.

  "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long?" Seeing Chen Yue finally appear, Ling Zhu'er rushed over quickly, forgetting the respectful title in her anxiety.

  It was no wonder that she was so out of composure. Chen Yue had been gone for too long.

  Five kilometers was neither too far nor too close. One could barely hear some sounds coming from that side. Especially when Chen Yue attacked the invisible passage, the sound was quite loud. Hearing these unusual movements and seeing that Chen Yue didn't come back for a long time, it would be strange if she wasn't restless.

  "I discovered some interesting things." Chen Yue said with a smile. Having successfully dealt with Wolf and greatly improved the compatibility, he was in a rather good mood and didn't mind taming the little loli a bit to pass these three days.

  If she could pass, then she could win his recognition.
