Shen managed to sneak into the Frozen Hill unnoticed by the Ice Vultures. He did not bother to look back. He only needed to find one thing. It was the Ice Lotus where he could get the Ice Dew from it.

An arctic blue-colored flower, that was the thing he needed to heal the Blizzard Tiger. She said specifically that the flower grew around near the tree, and it was not a rare flower. However, it grew in the middle of Frozen Hill so he had to go deeper into the Frozen Hill.

[The frozen temperature has affected your movement. Your movement decreases by 40%!]

"What!?" He stopped for a moment and hid behind the nearest tree. He scanned around to see if there were any Ice Vultures around. In this situation, he would be dead, dead, and dead if there was an Ice Vulture around. With his slowed movement speed, the Ice Vulture would easily catch him for sure.

[You have suffered frostbite!]

[You will lose 5 HP/10 seconds!]

The bad news did not stop there as another notification rang in his head. Shen's eyes widened a bit, "I have to go fast. I don't care even if I die as long as I can get the Ice Lotus," he was thinking that as long as he could get the Ice Lotus, he considered the mission was over. It would just be arduous that he had to come back to the cave to bring the Ice Lotus.

He picked up his pace and searched around. Just like the mother tiger said, the Ice Lotus was not a rare flower, it was just that the flower was growing in an extreme place.

Shen watched his health bar decreasing consistently every ten seconds. He frantically looked around and his eyes brightened as he found the arctic blue flower. He rushed over and was about to pull it up but his hand stopped midway. The game was so detailed that it was almost like living a real life. He could not be careless to pull the Ice Lotus like pulling the wild grass.

Shen squatted at the flower and cleared the snow around the flower. After he cleared the snow, he dug the ground and slowly pulled the Ice Lotus along with its root. He could feel the freezing cold on his palm. That was too cold for him to hold the flower, and he immediately stored the flower in his inventory.

"Should I return now or should I look for more?" He was clueless which part they needed to use so he did not know if the flower in his inventory was good quality or bad, "I will look for at least two more flowers,"

It seemed that the Ice Lotus was a common commodity in this place as he managed to find the next two Ice Lotuses in two minutes. After he managed to find three Ice Lotuses, he immediately rushed back. He was not going to stay any longer in this place or he might die from the frostbite.

At the time he returned to the border between the Frozen Hill and the Wrath Troll's territory. The fight between Ice Vulture and the Wrath Troll was getting even more intense than before. More Ice Vultures and Wrath Troll poured out from their perspective territory.

Shen took another detour to avoid the battle. He was afraid of getting pulled into the battle. The scale of the battle was not on his level at all. He saw that the Ice Vulture was breathing out the ice breath, freezing some part of the Wrath Troll's body. The Wrath Troll was smashing the Ice Vulture's wings, breaking the wings apart before they smashed the head.

Shen entered the Wrath Troll's territory, and he hid in another tree. He leaned his back against the tree and sat there. Entering the Frozen Hill and continuously running away from the Wrath Troll consumed his hunger. He then took out the roasted Guardian Fish and started to eat it.

As he ate his food as he watched the battle from afar. The brutal fight unfolded in front of him but then he remembered something as he ate the fish, "Maybe I can bring some carcasses for the Blizzard Tiger?"

Shen then scanned the battlefield. Trying to find the corpses but then he noticed one thing. There were rarely corpses on the ground. What was on the ground was the wounded Ice Vulture and Troll. The Troll that had been frozen was just laying around, groaning in pain. The Ice Vulture cawed weakly at the other side, bleeding profusely. He finished the roasted fish and thought of something.

[You have eaten the Roast Guardian Fish made by Guru Spices Successor! You gain a temporary boost! +30 Agility, +15 Strength, and +10 Endurance for ten minutes!]

"Wait… This is actually my chance…" Shen had a crazy idea, killing the injured Wrath Trolls and the Ice Vultures to farm the exp. This was his chance. He could see that the Wrath Troll's and the Ice Vulture's health bar reduced slowly from the injuries they suffered.

He could sneak into the battle, take the last hit, and farm the exp. That was a crazy move but so tempting to not try it. Especially for him who was desperate to gain more exp, "But I don't have a weapon…" He then realized that he did not have a weapon to kill the trolls and the vulture.

His sword was 3% durability and his spear was 1% durability. He could not get the last hit with no weapon. Shen was about to throw away his crazy idea, but he noticed the wooden club scattered around on the ground. The club was quite big for him but it was worth a try.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

He was seriously considering his crazy idea. The monsters might turn toward him but the battle was too chaotic, "Or I could pull them one by one out of the battlefield and kill them! That's a decent idea!"
