Chasing Liu Zhi's Sun Chariot, the White Bear stepped out of the island where he had hidden for so long.
The instant he left the island, the White Bear even raised his head to glance at the sky, afraid he might be struck by lightning from above.
But he soon realized that, aside from the hammer earlier, Odin hadn't attacked him again.
This discovery thrilled the White Bear. He paid no mind to how much strength he had lost in the explosion, nor to the poison still coursing through him. He strode toward Liu Zhi.
It was as if a duck that had been locked up for who knew how many years had finally been released. There was simply no one who could stop him.
As he drove the chariot, Liu Zhi watched what was happening behind him.
He hadn't expected to lure the White Bear out this way.
But he didn't regret it. The White Bear had to be lured into the trap anyway, and it didn't matter who did the luring.
Liu Zhi drove the Sun Chariot across the ice. The White Bear behind him could cover in a single step the distance that took Liu Zhi much longer to cross.
With the White Bear closing in, Liu Zhi had no time to take a detour. He headed straight for the trap he had prepared, while sending Videnina a signal to hurry there. If she didn't, Liu Zhi might have to face the enemy's attack first.
Seeing Liu Zhi running ahead, the White Bear gave it little thought. He chased after him, yanking chunks of ice out of the ground and hurling them at Liu Zhi.
Fortunately, Liu Zhi reacted quickly. He steered the Sun Chariot in a zigzag, narrowly avoiding being crushed by the chunks of ice
