Dragon City

"Mystic Ancestor, I didn't expect you wouldn't plan on taking more things from here..."

You Jie held Zhang Lexuan's hand as they walked down the stairs, sighing at how Mu En's behavior this time was somewhat un-Shrek-like.

Just like You Jie, he had only taken an Ice Barrier emblem as a souvenir and made no attempt to take anything else, such as the ice crystals from the three arrays that had once sealed the three great dragons.

Clearly, the quality of those ice crystals was by no means low, and Shrek Academy had an Evil Fire Roast Chicken who was currently crying out for such things to satisfy her hunger.

Although You Jie had used his invincible Tamashii to beat the evil fire in her body into America, this was not a permanent solution; as long as Ma Xiaotao worked hard enough, there was still a possibility of the evil fire recurring.

However, You Jie did not know that Mu En had issued a very flamboyant warning to Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao, scaring the master and disciple into becoming a trembling Kun-Kun Duo, which had actually, quite rarely, kept them well-behaved for an entire year.

"Because the things here are simply too powerful..."

"Admittedly, the materials here contain considerable energy. In terms of intensity and density alone, I fear even the legendary immortal herbs cannot be mentioned in the same breath."

"But precisely because of that, the energy here is extremely violent. Even if I were to be the slightest bit careless, I would return to that state of being able to do nothing but sit in a recliner, let alone anyone else."

"If Xiaotao wanted to use the ice-attribute energy contained in these materials to solve her evil fire problem, even a grain-of-rice-sized piece would be enough to turn her into an eternal ice sculpture."

Mu En seemed to have let go of some obsession, rambling on to You Jie about quite a few things.

In short, the materials here were indeed treasures, but basically only a Limit Douluo could mine them, and using them was even more dangerous.

But some people blinded by greed would ignore all of this and try every possible way to come here to extract profit. If such a thing were to happen, this world would likely end up like the former Ice Barrier, becoming a world of despair covered by an endless ice sheet.

Moreover, this place involved secrets suspected to be from another world...

Therefore, Mu En decided not to make the situation here public. Even if someone at Shrek Academy asked them, they would only say that because the blizzard was too strong, they were unable to enter and knew nothing about the specific situation inside.

You Jie nodded gently, took out the Duel Runner equipped with the snowmobile components once more, sat on it with Zhang Lexuan, and immediately started the Duel Runner to leave the Far North.

The first day passed without incident, but shortly after they set off on the second day, a terrifying aura suddenly came from afar, causing the sky to darken.

Immediately following that, the other half of the sky suddenly turned emerald green, and another terrifying aura surged over.

"It seems the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm has already begun to clash with the Ice Empress. It's a pity I won't be able to see the scene where the Ice Empress is captured by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm using its molted skin..."

You Jie shook his head slightly and, following Mu En's instructions, increased his speed once again.

From the perspective of Mu En and Zhang Lexuan, it was clear that a battle had broken out between the fierce beasts of the Far North in the distance.

They had no need to go over and join the excitement, nor did they have any need for soul rings or soul bones of that attribute, so Mu En immediately decided to speed up and leave.

If it weren't for the fact that the place where Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were plotting against the Ice Empress was far enough away from where You Jie was currently located, Mu En would have even wanted to wrap You Jie and Zhang Lexuan in his soul power and fly out of the Far North at his fastest speed, regardless of the cost.

On the other side, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's capture of the Ice Empress went even more smoothly than in the original story.

"Bingbing, you... are you injured? Who exactly dared to hurt my beloved Bingbing?!"

"Don't let me find that person, he has already invited his own death!"

"Tian Meng, stop with the glib talk. There was an anomaly in the Far North, and that is where I was injured."

The Ice Empress looked with great unwillingness at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who was fawning like a sycophant. If she hadn't been trying to find a way to break through the next heavenly tribulation by attempting to force her way into that Divine Temple and trying to integrate its powerful energy into her body, she wouldn't be in her current state—with a physical condition similar to Lin Daiyu—easily captured by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm using its somewhat disgusting molted skin.

"To think that even Bingbing's body couldn't withstand it... Yuhao, after you finish the fusion with Bingbing, let's leave this place quickly."

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a sycophant, it wasn't stupid enough to belong in a museum at Shrek Academy. Upon learning that the energy of the Divine Temple was something even the Ice Empress couldn't withstand, it completely extinguished the idea of letting Huo Yuhao try his luck there.

With Huo Yuhao's current thin arms and weak legs, wouldn't going to that temple cause him to explode on the spot?

"Finally, we've left the range of the Far North."

Looking at the land before them that was no longer completely covered in snow, You Jie breathed a sigh of relief, sighing as he changed the components for the Duel Runner.

Although speeding on a snowmobile was exhilarating, speeding for several days in a row was not a pleasant task.

Moreover, to prevent snow blindness, You Jie needed to make some extra preparations, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Now, although they hadn't completely left the Far North in terms of temperature and weather, if one were to use the terminology of Civilization VI, they had arrived in Russian Happy Land rather than a blank white expanse with almost no output.

Mu En and Zhang Lexuan stood nearby, watching You Jie change the Milk Bottle set, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Clearly, over these past few days, this Soul Tool, which had seen significant improvements in its leakage issues, had piqued their interest.

"Is this the latest achievement of the Soul Tool Department? I didn't expect the current level of the Soul Tool Department to have reached such a degree."

"Yes, Mystic Ancestor. However, Old Qian and I are still conceptualizing further improvements, striving to create a sealed Milk Bottle that doesn't leak at all."

After replacing the new components, You Jie stood up from the ground, took the replaced Milk Bottle set from Zhang Lexuan's hand, and put it back into his storage Soul Tool.

"By the way, Mystic Ancestor, since we have plenty of time on our way back, can we change the route? The route we took here had basically no good scenery along the way; it was truly too dull."

"Very well, then today we shall go to Dragon City."

Faced with You Jie's complaining suggestion, Mu En agreed quite readily.

Moreover, now that his health had recovered, he should go see some old friends and share his joy with them.

Dragon City was a good place; not only was it one of the top major cities in the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, making it easy to obtain information about others who wanted to venture deep into the Far North, but there were also two sects there that had a certain connection with Mu En.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earth Dragon Gate.
