Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Bear King
"Da na~"
Bulbasaur nodded, and then the two of them jumped off the back of the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Wolf.
As it fell, Bulbasaur emitted a dazzling white light, and in the blink of an eye, it evolved into Venusaur, its body rapidly growing larger.
At the same time, the Soul Ring on Qing Mu's body lit up one after another.
A ball of light flew into the sky and exploded. The next moment, the swirling snowstorm stopped, and a blazing sun hung in the sky, causing the ambient temperature to rise rapidly and the snow to melt.
Large amounts of green grass grew from the melting snow and spread rapidly from Qing Mu as the center. In just one second, the area within hundreds of meters of Qing Mu was transformed into Grassy Terrain.
Qing Mu stood atop the Venusaur, which was enveloped in green crystals, his eyes warily fixed on the approaching, powerful aura.
As for the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Wolf standing to the side, its mouth was agape upon seeing this scene, and the entire wolf appeared utterly shocked.
Is this still my little boss? How did he grow bigger than me in the blink of an eye, and his aura is more than ten times stronger than before?
"They're here!"
A moment later, Qing Mu's eyes flashed, and the Venusaur beneath him instantly extended a large number of vines, warily looking in the direction of that aura.
The next moment, a figure emerged faintly from the raging wind and snow. It was a figure as big as a small mountain, over fifteen meters tall. It slowly walked over, clearly having also noticed Qing Mu and the others.
As the figure drew closer, Qing Mu finally saw it clearly.
"The Ice Bear King? But this aura..."
Qing Mu narrowed his eyes. He remembered that the Ice Bear King's cultivation was only close to 200,000 years, but judging from the aura emanating from the Ice Bear King, it was clear that it had passed the Heavenly Tribulation of 20 years, and not just recently. It was much stronger than he had expected.
"We underestimated him. If that's the case, then the Titan Snow Demon King, who can stand against the Ice Bear King and be ranked as Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, must be even stronger, probably not much weaker than the Scarlet King who lived 290,000 years ago."
Just as Qing Mu was deep in thought, the Ice Bear King spoke.
"Human, what are you doing here?"
The Ice Bear King's voice was full of majesty; if an ordinary Soul Beast or human heard these words, it would be enough to make them tremble and blurt out everything.
However, Qing Mu's Spiritual Power is now even stronger than that of an ordinary Title Douluo, so he is naturally unaffected.
Qing Mu pondered for a moment before replying, "Great Ice Bear King, I've heard that the Great North Land is a forbidden zone for humans, so I've come here to explore and see if I can find any treasures."
Qing Mu's true purpose was naturally something he couldn't reveal directly. After all, his goal was to hunt for the Seventh Soul Ring, and the Ice Bear King in front of him was one of his potential targets. If he said it out loud, it would be a blatant Taunt.
He didn't want to fight the Ice Bear King at the moment, because he still wanted to try to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Although the Ice Bear King was over 200,000 years old, it was still far inferior to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which was close to a million years old.
"Exploration?"
Ice Bear King sniffed its pink nose, glanced at Qing Mu and Venusaur, and inwardly marveled at the audacity of these humans, daring to explore this place.
However, Qing Mu was the first human to set foot in the Great North Land and venture deep into this region over the years. Out of curiosity, the Ice Bear King didn't mind chatting with Qing Mu a bit longer.
Immediately, the Ice Bear King, "Human, this is not a good place for exploration. Although you are strong, there are many stronger than you in this Great North Land."
Ice Bear King was just trying to bluff Qing Mu. The Venusaur, currently stacked with various status effects, exuded an aura no less powerful than that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. After the Snow Empress Snow Empress's conquest, a large number of Soul Beast that refused to submit to her rule were killed, including many Ferocious Beast. Currently, there are very few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast left in the Great North Land!
Qing Mu glanced at the Ice Bear King with some surprise. This Soul Beast didn't immediately attack him just because he was human?
Of course, it's also possible that the strength I've displayed so far has made the other party wary, which is why they haven't made a direct move.
"Thank you for informing me Ice Bear King, but I am quite confident in my own strength," Qing Mu replied, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture.
Not having to fight was exactly what Qing Mu wanted; otherwise, although Qing Mu had the strength to kill the opponent, there was no guarantee that something unexpected might happen.
Most importantly, taking action would mean the end of this trip to the Far North, and he hadn't yet achieved his goals, so he didn't want it to end so soon.
"In that case, human, good luck!"
Upon hearing this, the Ice Bear King gave Qing Mu Qing Mu and Bulbasaur a deep look, then said nothing more and slowly passed by Venusaur.
Seeing the Ice Bear King leave, Qing Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He vaguely remembered that this Ice Bear King seemed to have been raised by the Snow Empress since it was a cub, and that Snow Empress had a very good relationship. If he attacked it and failed to kill it instantly, it might attract the Snow Empress.
It should be noted that in the Great North Land environment, the Snow Empress's Combat Power is comparable to that of Quasi-God. He is far from being her match now and can only escape by using Teleport.
After the Ice Bear King disappeared into the snowstorm once more, Qing Mu's expression turned serious. "It seems I need to speed things up. We encountered the Ice Bear King this time; who knows what we'll face next?"
At this moment, Qing Mu turned his gaze to the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Wolf, which was lying prostrate on the ground, clearly terrified by the oppressive aura emanating from the Ice Bear King.
"The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is the best choice, but if that doesn't work, I can't put all my eggs in one basket."
Qing Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Since the Ice Bear King is too difficult to deal with, let's choose the Titan Snow Demon King instead!"
In a short while, Qing Mu made a decision in his heart: if he really couldn't find Tian Meng in a short time, then he would kill Titan Snow Demon King to obtain his Seventh Soul Ring.
Then, Qing Mu reconnected his mind to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and said, "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, use your full range of abilities to detect the aura of Soul Beast and treasures. Tell me as soon as you find anything!"
"Yes, I understand!"
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass immediately replied.
As Qing Mu set off again to search at top speed, the Ice Bear King on the other side was also heading towards the Core Zone of Great North Land, Binshi.
"A human has appeared in the Great North Land! I have to share this rare news with my godmother right away!"
The Ice Bear King thought this to himself, and even quickened his pace considerably.
And his godmother is none other than the current ruler of the Great North Land, the Heavenly Snow Woman!
