As An Lan led him to the highest hut of the Snowman Tribe, she pushed open the door with a creak, "Come in, it's a bit simple because nobody usually comes here, don't mind it!"

With a wave of An Lan's hand, two cups made of ice appeared on the small table inside the hut; then, she poured some hot tea, "I've been to the outside world, and my favorite thing there is tea. Try some!"

Ling Feng entered and saw that the thatched hut was very simple. Apart from a bed, a table, and a chair, there was almost nothing else to see.

He held the teacup and gently took a sip. An Lan said indifferently, "Ling Feng, I think you should know that the reason I brought you here is that there are some things I need to confirm."

Ling Feng set down his teacup and spoke seriously, "Miss An Lan, to be honest, my visit to Mount Everest is for an important matter. I don't have much time to waste here!"

"I know!" An Lan's eyes had a faint blue tint as she spoke, "I knew from the beginning that you were lying. You came to Mount Everest, definitely not for that so-called climbing and conquest."

Ling Feng felt embarrassed, "You knew?"

"Of course!" An Lan said lightly as she sipped her tea, "No one can lie in front of me; I can see through any disguise at a glance, even the disguise of words!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but be startled.

"You're definitely thinking 'this woman is really terrifying now'!" An Lan looked at Ling Feng, "No need to argue, your expression has already told me! So, let's have an honest talk. What is your purpose in coming to Mount Everest?"

Ling Feng fell silent. How could he tell An Lan about his search for Origin Power? The temptation of Origin Power was something no one in this world could resist!

"Since you didn't come to Mount Everest for leisure, it means you are here to find something! Are you looking for someone?" An Lan asked.

Before Ling Feng could speak, An Lan shook her head, "No, your aura tells me you are not here to find someone. Since you're not here for people, you must be looking for something unique to Mount Everest!"

"What are you looking for? Mount Everest Snow Lotus? Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice… or is it Origin Power?" An Lan stared into Ling Feng's eyes as she asked.

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected An Lan to know about Origin Power as well.

"Looks like I guessed right!" An Lan smiled, "When I mentioned Origin Power just now, there was a subtle change in your breath, which means your target is Origin Power, right?"

Ling Feng gave a wry smile, not expecting that his purpose would be guessed without even speaking!

Being able to see through all disguises, this level of ability was truly terrifying.

At this point, there was no use in hiding anymore. Ling Feng simply admitted it and nodded, "Yes, my goal is indeed Origin Power. I must find it within five days, so I'm afraid I can't afford to linger here any longer!"

An Lan smiled slightly, "Mount Everest is so vast, how do you plan to find Origin Power? Besides, apart from Mount Everest, there are no fewer than ten other peaks over 7,000 meters here. Are you sure Origin Power is on Mount Everest?"

Hearing An Lan's words, Ling Feng felt disheartened.

An Lan continued, "Also, I have to tell you that, apart from me, no one can freely enter or leave this small world. That means, once you're in, you cannot get out without my help!"

"What!" Ling Feng suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with anger towards An Lan, "Why would you do this? Why are you trying to harm me?"

An Lan shook her head, "You've misunderstood; I have no intention of harming you. I've only brought you back because I need your assistance!"

"Trying to threaten me?" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh, "But you've miscalculated!"

An Lan replied, "Threaten? No, I just want to cooperate with you!"

"Cooperate?"

"That's right, you help me, and our Snowman Tribe will naturally help you find the Origin Power!" An Lan said earnestly, "Our Snowman Tribe is the most familiar with Mount Everest. With our help, you can achieve more with less effort!"

Hearing this, the anger in Ling Feng's heart finally subsided a bit. He frowned and asked, "What do you want me to help you with? I'm just passing by; I know nothing about your Snowman Tribe!"

An Lan sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not quite sure what you can help with either, but I know that since the Ice Jade Spirit Cat is close to you, you are definitely not an ordinary person, and you must have some connection with our Snowman Tribe!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes; he was purely a Huaxia person and had absolutely no relation with these Snowman people!

"By the way, what is this Ice Jade Spirit Cat?" Ling Feng pulled out the little fellow sleeping soundly on his chest and asked, "Are you very anxious about it?"

An Lan gently took the Ice Jade Spirit Cat and placed it on the table, softly stroking its forehead as he said softly, "Indeed, the Ice Jade Spirit Cat is our Guardian Spirit, and we are also the guardian tribe for the Ice Jade Spirit Cat. Let me start from the beginning."

As An Lan narrated methodically, Ling Feng finally understood some of the ins and outs of the matter!

It turned out that this Small World was a barrier set up by a powerful being in ancient times to suppress enemies. Within the barrier, a Formation was laid out, a Formation that continuously absorbed external forces to suppress and deplete the opponent!

That ancient powerhouse left behind a personal belonging as the Formation Eye of the Formation and had one of his servants stay here to guard the Formation!

After millions of years of evolution, the outside world had changed dramatically, and the originally flat land had transformed into the towering Mount Everest. Due to the presence of the Formation and the Barrier, the world inside also gradually turned into a world of ice and snow!

The descendant of that servant slowly evolved into what is now known as the Snowman Tribe, with thick fur growing due to evolution!

"So what about this Ice Jade Spirit Cat?" Ling Feng couldn't help but ask.

An Lan said, "The Ice Jade Spirit Cat is exactly the Array Spirit! It's because of the Ice Jade Spirit Cat's existence that the Formation can operate normally, and the Small World can remain stable!"

Ling Feng was astonished; he hadn't expected this greedy, sleepy little fellow to be such an important existence. No wonder the Snowman people were searching everywhere for it.

"So what can I do to help you?" Ling Feng asked.

An Lan sighed and said, "According to the ancestors' records, previously the Ice Jade Spirit Cat was several meters tall, and when the Formation operated, Vital Energy from hundreds of kilometers around would gather. But now…"

At this point, An Lan looked at the palm-sized Ice Jade Spirit Cat with a face full of worry.

Ling Feng's eyes widened: "You mean, the Ice Jade Spirit Cat was very large before, and now it has become this small?"

An Lan nodded.

Ling Feng finally understood; the size of the Array Spirit was naturally related to the strength of the Formation. Now that the Ice Jade Spirit Cat was so small, it meant only one thing: the powerful Formation set up by that ancient being was weakening!

No wonder the Small World was also filled with freezing frost and snow; so that was the reason!
