Chapter 423: Chapter 422 Uroboros Chapter 423: Chapter 422 Uroboros Leaving Heibo Snow Forest, Russell returned to the Knight Regiment, protecting it as they continued to campaign across the snowfield.
Of course.
His protection was mostly making occasional appearances while spending most of his time alone hunting the Snow Demon, venturing deep into the endless snowfield.

Wind howled against the face, and Uroboros clung tightly to Russell out of fear. Unfortunately, without eyelids to blink, the reptile could only stare into the wind.
“Scary scary… Scary scary… Scary scary…” Occasionally, Lucky Whisper would echo, repeating Ouroboros’s fears, but the frequency faded until they flew into the territory of Shadowflame Duchy, after which Lucky Whisper ceased altogether.
So much so that upon returning to Wuyao Snake Manor and settling Uroboros down, Lucky Whisper wasn’t heard again from start to finish.
“Perhaps, the duration of Lucky Whisper has expired,” Russell thought to himself.
The purpose of Lucky Whisper was to help Russell hear the private whispers of phantom beasts useful to his contracted ones.
Now that Uroboros had accepted a master, there was naturally no need for Lucky Whisper’s assistance.
“You’ll stay here for now, with endless food supply, but wait a bit for our phantom beast contract. Hape and I still need to complete the final step of our training,” Russell instructed a makeshift tree hollow to be dug as a home for Ouroboros.
This was next to Cigar Courtyard, right by the bamboo forest where Polly lived.
After Uroboros adapted to the environment near Cigar Courtyard, Russell began to inquire about and test the serpent’s magic abilities.
It didn’t have characteristics of a Pseudo-Dragon, so it might just be an ordinary phantom beast.
But it had two innate magical abilities, or rather, just one – the Earth Traveling Spell, which allows it to swiftly tunnel through soil and rock. Its other innate ability was more of an instinctual talent, akin to Wraithwalk.
However, unlike Polly’s Wraithwalk, once Uroboros entered Gloomy Dreamland, it couldn’t move its body.
Its talent was merely to hide itself within the Gloomy Dreamland.
“You’re much weaker than Polly,” Russell said with a hint of disappointment. The Earth Traveling Spell was clearly weaker than Polly’s Wind Walking Skill, and the talent that allowed hiding but not movement paled in comparison to Ethereal Dream Escape Skill. “You’re like a fully weakened version of her.”
Polly responded in mind, “But Ice Cream likes it, doesn’t she?”
“Yes, Ice Cream likes it,” Russell realized with relief.
He no longer needed to be picky about the strength of a phantom beast. If it could help Ice Cream, then it was the most suitable phantom beast.
Thinking it over, he said to Uroboros, “Your talent will be called Hidden Dream Trace in Gloomy Dreamland, Hidden Dream Trace!”
