Under Attack

Aurora Town.

Inside a dark basement.

Qu He was bound hand and foot to a blood-soaked chair, his body covered in countless inhuman wounds.

There were traces of smoke in his nasal cavity, his limbs were charred from electric shocks, and many iron nails were stuck between his fingers.

"Old man, are you going to tell me or not?"

At this moment, a strong man with blond hair stared coldly at Qu He Qu He, trying to extract a secret from him.

"I have no idea..."

Qu He gave a bitter smile, revealing his mouth, which had long since been emptied of all his teeth.

"You fucking want to die!"

"Smack!"

The blond man slapped Qu He across the face, nearly disfiguring Qu He.

Seemingly not satisfied with just a slap, the blond man began kicking Qu He hard in the abdomen.

Qu He, a gaunt old man, could hardly bear such suffering.

Less than a minute later, Qu He fainted again.

"Damn it, you dog."

Seeing that Qu He had fainted, the blond man was still not satisfied and looked directly at one of his subordinates.

"After he wakes up, feed him directly to the snow wolf."

The blond man's eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if he were talking about something utterly ordinary.

"Yes, boss."

The subordinate immediately agreed, and then asked in a very obsequious manner.

"Boss, what's the point of arresting this old man? Those guys are doomed anyway, aren't they?"

The subordinate was very curious; in his eyes, Xiao Lin and his group were doomed to die.

Doing this kind of thing is simply unnecessary.

"What do you know? The boss once said he didn't want anyone to investigate him, and everyone who knew about it had to die."

The blond man said matter-of-factly, how could he not know such a thing?

He was simply trying to minimize the danger.

If the mission is not completed, then he will be the one who dies.

The blond man thought to himself, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes.

He knew all about their gang's organization and the methods their boss used.

There was once a special assassination squad that was dissatisfied with their income, so they wanted to find Yang Lai Bing to demand an explanation.

As a result, one of the Soul King in the assassination squad was killed.

The manner of his death was extremely gruesome.

Who would have thought that the Soul King's corpse would die in a moment of terror, its body even merging with the frozen earth on the ground.

It's not the kind of thing where you're buried underground, but rather where your body and the permafrost are intertwined, each containing the other.

The blond-haired man had no desire to experience such a bizarre way of dying.

Fortunately, the men he sent out were his two most trusted subordinates.

They were already Soul Ancestor in strength, and they also had perfect teamwork.

In the Icy World, Extremely North Land, they unleashed their full power.

In this situation, he didn't think those kids would still be alive.

at the same time.

Two members of the Lai Bing Gang in the Extremely North Land, Huang Mao's henchmen, shared the same thought.

The Extremely North Land very vast.

Even though Xiao Lin and his group of five had a map to guide them.

Finding the Profound Nether Serpent Turtle for the Shi Family Brothers was extremely difficult.

Not to mention, there are other Soul Beast that might suddenly attack Xiao Lin and his companions along the way.

Xiao Lin and the others had been walking for about a day and a half.

Because of the unique environment in the Extremely North Land, where it is always daytime, the group found it difficult to perceive the passage of time.

It was precisely for this reason that Ye Lingling was now truly exhausted, which is why Xiao Lin organized the team to rest.

Of the current Five-Person Team, only Xiao Lin and Tang Ni seem to be in good spirits.

"Hiss!"

"Call!"

Ye Lingling and Tang Ni leaned against each other, as did the Shi Family Brothers, who kept each other warm.

The Extremely North Land caused their strength to deplete even faster.

With just a breath, the heat instantly condenses into water droplets due to the cold of the Extremely North Land.

If someone were to urinate here, their urine might actually freeze solid.

Xiao Lin was secretly observing the team members' situation, frowned deeply. This wouldn't do.

Let alone hunting Soul Beast, it would take ten days to half a month to even begin.

Xiao Lin felt that the team members would collapse due to exhaustion.

In this environment, too much body heat is lost, and the weather...

Xiao Lin looked up at the sky and noticed a dark cloud that had inexplicably appeared.

Logically speaking, it would be impossible for black clouds to appear in the Extremely North Land.

Before the water vapor condenses and gathers into clouds, it has probably already turned into ice and snow and fallen down.

"Everyone be careful, there may be enemies."

Xiao Lin disregarded their fatigue and solemnly explained the situation to them.

Once everyone looked on alert, the enemy that Xiao Lin had guessed launched a sneak attack.

In an instant, dark rain clouds loomed over Xiao Lin and his companions on the vast, endless glaciers of the Extremely North Land.

"Damn it! They're trying to freeze us to death with the rain!"

Xiao Lin reacted instantly, his eyes widened, and a look of horror unconsciously appeared on his face.

In places like the Extremely North Land, the most dangerous things are probably not the Soul Beast or some ill-intentioned Soul Master.

The most dangerous thing about the Extremely North Land is the extreme cold and the extremely harsh environment.

If the team members were to get soaked by the rain, Xiao Lin was certain that of the five of them, only he would survive.

"We must not let the rain get in!"

Xiao Lin shouted urgently, then began to observe the surrounding situation.

Of the five, only he disregarded the rain and extreme cold, making him the most suitable person to search for the enemy.

"Splash!"

In an instant, before Xiao Lin could even go out to observe for a few seconds, the rain poured down.

"Possessed by the Black Tortoise Turtle, first Soul Skill, Black Tortoise Shield."

Almost immediately after the heavy rain began, the Shi Family Brothers behind Xiao Lin reliably performed their Martial Soul Possession.

After the Black Tortoise Turtle Martial Soul Possession, the Shi Family Brothers' already reliable muscles became as hard as granite.

Beneath their enormous size, the raised, earthen-yellow tortoise-shell shields perfectly supported their heads, like two giants holding up the sky, perfectly protecting Tang Ni and Ye Lingling.

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"

The rain kept falling, but it couldn't harm anyone in Xiao Lin's team.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew by, and some rainwater was blown onto the Shi Family Brothers ' bodies. The biting cold made even the two Shi Family Brothers, who were extremely resilient, gasp.

Even so, the Shi Family Brothers still perfectly used their huge size to block Tang Ni and Ye Lingling.

In terms of defense, their Black Tortoise Turtle is a top-tier Beast Soul on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

For the Shi Family Brothers, it would be an insult to those behind them to get hurt.

Absolute defense at the same level is not just empty talk.

"Heal everyone!"

Feeling that the Shi Family Brothers had shielded her from the storm, Ye Lingling reacted instantly.

Ye Lingling instantly summoned the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and a white petal-shaped light surged into the Shi Family Brothers ' bodies.

In an instant, Ye Lingling's powerful healing abilities made the Shi Family Brothers no longer feel cold, and even reduced their Soul Power consumption.

Ye Lingling certainly didn't have the ability to reduce Soul Power consumption; it was only due to Ye Lingling's powerful healing abilities.

The Shi Family Brothers didn't need to use much Soul Power to protect themselves, and their Soul Power recovery speed was also somewhat enhanced.
