So, the Winged King is actually a woman.

Looking at the noble woman named "Feather Phoenix" in front of him, Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised.

However, he was more puzzled.

Because the conditions for this task weren't particularly harsh.

As long as a player could find this place, they might be able to complete the task.

After all, it only required forming a life-sharing contract.

Although the great rift outside the cave was located in the Chaos Forest, and few could find it.

But with so many players, surely someone would stumble upon it, right?

Yet in the previous life, the Winged Tribe never appeared in the public eye, except for a few winged equipment pieces that players saw firsthand.

The existence of the Winged Tribe was mostly just a legend.

Logically, if someone had completed the task in the previous life, it would be like having the support of the Winged Tribe, so why would they remain hidden?

"Either the Winged Tribe doesn't dare to appear due to the pressure from the Church, and the so-called strong backing is just empty words."

"Or this task isn't as simple as it seems, and no one has ever completed it!"

Jiang Chen came to these two conclusions.

Neither of which was good news for him.

"Lord Mortal World, this is the life-sharing contract scroll."

Beside him, Yi Qingyun handed Jiang Chen a dark red scroll.

"And then?"

Jiang Chen asked, looking at the scroll in his hand.

"Please stand before the steps, call upon the king's soul, and attempt to communicate," Yi Qingyun replied.

"What, call upon? You mean just shout?"

Jiang Chen looked at Yi Qingyun in surprise. Wasn't there supposed to be some magic involved?

"Of course not, I said I would help you."

Yi Qingyun quickly took out a white bead the size of a pigeon egg, "This is the Spirit Communication Bead, you can use it to sense our king."

"Spirit Communication Bead?"

Jiang Chen took the white bead.

[Spirit Communication Bead: Task item, holding it allows you to sense the presence of souls!]

That sounds more like it.

After reading the description of the Spirit Communication Bead, Jiang Chen slowly approached the steps leading to the throne.

The closer he got, the more he could feel a bone-chilling cold emanating from the throne.

At the same time, a faint, ethereal fragrance became increasingly noticeable.

"A common person would probably freeze to death."

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Jiang Chen looked at the high and glamorous woman on the ice throne, silently complaining in his heart.

He stood at the bottom of the steps, holding the Spirit Communication Bead, and began to sense with his heart.

To be honest, Jiang Chen didn't like these mystical tasks.

What does it mean to sense with your heart?

There's no quantifiable standard.

He'd rather have tasks that test his combat skills and operations.

However, after a short while, Jiang Chen felt a peculiar wave emanating from the Spirit Communication Bead.

Moreover, the wave grew stronger and stronger.

Soon, through the Spirit Communication Bead, Jiang Chen saw a very blurry transparent figure.

He was delighted and focused even more, trying to see the figure clearly.

Gradually, the figure became more solid in Jiang Chen's eyes, no longer so illusory.

Furthermore, the figure's mouth was moving continuously, as if trying to say something.

"Speak louder."

Jiang Chen listened intently.

Then he heard something that made him want to spit blood: "Lord Mortal World, it's me..."

Not only did he hear it in his mind, but his ears also heard it.

It was Yi Qingyun's voice!

Jiang Chen staggered and angrily looked back.

Not far away, Yi Qingyun was looking at him innocently.

"Lord Mortal World, you've connected with my soul..."

Yi Qingyun explained helplessly, "The Spirit Communication Bead can connect with the souls of nearby people, you need to focus on our king."

"Chief Yi, can't you stay further away from me!"

Jiang Chen said irritably, "Your living soul's wave is definitely stronger than your king's!"

"Please calm down, it's my fault."

Yi Qingyun smiled bitterly and immediately retreated twenty or thirty meters, leaning against the wall of the stone chamber.

Only then did Jiang Chen look back at the Winged King on the steps, extending the hand holding the Spirit Communication Bead, and began to sense her soul.

After a while, he felt a faint wave from the Spirit Communication Bead.

He held his breath and focused even more intently.

Soon, Jiang Chen perceived a very blurry silhouette.

Although it appeared extremely illusory, it could be vaguely discerned that the figure was graceful and elegant, likely a woman.

"Looks like I've found the right person this time."

Jiang Chen steadied his mind and continued to strengthen his focus.

However, several minutes passed.

The silhouette remained elusive, and he couldn't communicate with it!

"Maybe if I get closer, the sensing will be stronger."

Jiang Chen extended his hand forward and then took a step onto the first step.

Instantly, a cold chill enveloped him.

Especially his outstretched hand, which was faintly covered with a layer of frost, starting to stiffen!

"Be careful, this throne is made of extreme ice, it's difficult for ordinary people to approach!"

Yi Qingyun shouted from the wall, reminding loudly.

Jiang Chen ignored him and began to sense with his heart.

Before long, he felt the blurry figure gradually solidify, no longer so ethereal.

But, it was still limited to that.

The figure's solidity was far less than Yi Qingyun's earlier.

"I don't believe it!"

Jiang Chen's expression hardened, and he immediately continued up the steps.

Soon, he was on the steps, only two or three meters away from the throne!

Just as he was about to take another step forward.

The extreme cold directly froze his hand, and soon, his body was covered in a layer of frost!

[You have been attacked by extreme ice, frozen for 1 minute!]

Jiang Chen found that he couldn't move!

He was speechless, "This thing has control effects too!"

"Lord Mortal World, are you okay?"

Yi Qingyun shouted in shock, "Once the freezing ends, you must retreat quickly, otherwise the freezing time will keep increasing!"

Jiang Chen heard Yi Qingyun's words but didn't respond, nor could he.

He couldn't even open his mouth now.

He could only endure the bone-chilling cold and continue to sense.

This time, Jiang Chen felt a very solid figure through the Spirit Communication Bead.

Her facial features gradually became visible!

Although still somewhat blurry, it was clear that this was an extremely noble and beautiful face.

She was the Winged King.

However, Jiang Chen sensed her, but she seemed unaware of Jiang Chen.

Her face was slightly raised, her gaze cold and aloof, looking into the distance.

As if disdainful of the current situation.

"Damn! Look here, why are you still playing aloof?"

Jiang Chen silently shouted in his heart, feeling utterly speechless!

Soon, a minute passed.

Jiang Chen felt his body regain sensation, but he didn't retreat; instead, he took another step forward!

[You have been attacked by extreme ice, frozen for 2 minutes!]

Jiang Chen was frozen again, this time for two minutes!

"Lord Mortal World!"

Yi Qingyun was shocked, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so determined?

He was genuinely touched.

But if he didn't come down, the freezing time would extend indefinitely!

"Lord Mortal World, you should come down, if you continue, you'll be frozen indefinitely!" Yi Qingyun advised.

Jiang Chen still didn't respond, he continued to sense.

The Winged King's figure was now clearly visible.

But she still had her face raised, cold and proud, looking into the distance.

She didn't notice Jiang Chen's presence at all.

Or rather, she was too disdainful to notice Jiang Chen.

"How am I supposed to communicate? Can you stop looking down on people with your chin, I'm really speechless!"

Jiang Chen was beyond words.

Soon, two minutes passed.

Jiang Chen's body regained sensation, and after a brief hesitation, he retreated from the steps.

At this rate, it was impossible to communicate with the Winged King, he needed to think of a solution!

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Jiang Chen fell into contemplation.

"Lord Mortal World, you've worked hard, if it doesn't work, let's think of another way and plan long-term!"

Yi Qingyun approached, still grateful to Jiang Chen.

"Who told you to come over, stay away."

Jiang Chen waved his hand.

Yi Qingyun was taken aback, "You're still going to try?"

Jiang Chen didn't answer, he glanced at the noble woman on the throne with her eyes closed, and made a decision in his heart.

"If you like being aloof, don't blame me for being rude!"

Jiang Chen pursed his lips, muttering to himself.

Then, he looked at Yi Qingyun and said, "Chief Yi, please leave!"

"Leave?"

Yi Qingyun was stunned.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Your presence in the stone chamber affects me."

Yi Qingyun hesitated briefly, then nodded, "Alright, I'll leave immediately, but please, Lord Mortal World, be cautious, if you're truly frozen indefinitely, I would be deeply remorseful!"

With that, Yi Qingyun turned and left, quickly exiting the stone chamber.

Jiang Chen then looked at the Winged King on the throne.

Without hesitation, he held the Spirit Communication Bead and stepped onto the steps again.

Feeling the icy aura approaching.

Jiang Chen silently chanted, "Holy Light Body!"

Immediately, a layer of golden light covered his body.

Although the chill didn't dissipate, and Jiang Chen could still feel the cold, his body remained unharmed!

Because the Holy Light Body was immune to control!

Jiang Chen, cloaked in golden light, directly approached the Winged King.

While sensing her soul, he reached out towards the noble and stunning queen before him!
