Ice Saint King's Treasure? Snow Tree Demon Beast Tide!
Ye Hua turned around and saw that it was a girl who had called out to him.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wrapped in a thick white fur coat, her brown ponytail swaying in the cold wind.
Behind her followed a dozen or so fully armed Soul Master. The middle-aged man leading the group wore a gray wolf pelt, had two short axes hanging from his waist, and looked wary.
The girl quickened her pace, "Hey, you guys aren't going into the Far North Forest empty-handed, are you?"
"Not even bringing cold-weather gear? Going into a place like that without adequate preparation is just suicide!"
Ye Hua glanced at Oscar's frostbitten nose, then at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's delicate appearance.
He was already Quasi-Soul Saint, and with his powerful physique, it was naturally not a problem for him, but they were different.
Do you need equipment?
"Yes!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm replied without hesitation.
Seeing that he listened to her advice, the girl smiled and said, "My name is Veya, and this is Hote, the captain of our exploration team."
"There's a well-equipped general store in town. Would you like me to take you shopping?"
"Thank you." Ye Hua nodded.
It was said that Veya helped with the purchasing, but in reality, it was team leader Hote who did the work.
"The hot water bottle contains the Soul Power of a fire-type Soul Master, which can keep the body warm and ward off the cold when placed close to the body."
"Although fur coats are bulky, they can withstand a blizzard that can tear off a layer of skin."
Hote Wengsheng introduced.
Ye Hua purchased some furs, ropes, flint, and dry rations, spending Gold Soul Coin.
Hote shook his head repeatedly when he saw that Ye Hua hadn't prepared to buy anything.
"Sigh, another hothead."
"Completely unprepared, you're lucky if even one of you managed to get back."
There's an old saying in the town, "The Far North Town doesn't tolerate brutes, and frost and snow don't believe in tears!"
Veya tugged at his sleeve, "Uncle Hote, don't scare people!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hunched over and casually asked, "Little girl, what's your exploration team doing? Why are you running around in this freezing weather?"
Veya shrugged, "Of course it's the Ice Saint King's treasure..."
Hote frowned sharply and reached out to stop her.
He stared at Ye Hua and the other two, his gaze sharpening.
"Captain Hote, don't worry," Ye Hua shrugged, "We're here to Soul Hunting, not to dig for treasure."
Oscar also released his aura, and only after sensing Oscar's Quasi-Soul King aura did Hote relax slightly.
Veya stuck out her tongue. "Actually, it's not a secret. There's a legend about it circulating in several nearby towns."
"The treasure ruins of the Ice Saint King have appeared deep within the Far North Forest, their icy blue light enveloping half the sky!"
"The Ice Saint King?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes," Veya didn't hide anything, "It is said that it was the overlord of the Far North ten thousand years ago, Soul Beast that Transcendence a hundred thousand years old."
"Legend has it that its lair is filled with Spirit Bone and rare treasures, and many exploration teams go there!"
"For example, in our team, Captain Hote was originally the leader of the Soul Hunting Group, but this time he is..."
"Alright," Hote interrupted, "We should get going; we've already wasted too much time."
Veya quickly caught up with Hote.
Ye Hua put his hand to his forehead. What an innocent girl.
A legend passed down by word of mouth means that even if you don't say it, others will hear about it sooner or later.
But how could we share information about our own exploration team with strangers? What if we encountered bad people?
After saying goodbye to Veya and Hote, Ye Hua led the team out of the Arctic Town.
The Far North Forest were incredibly dark, lacking any of the beauty of a snow-covered pine forest after a snowfall.
The towering coniferous forest, its branches bent low by snow and ice, also seemed to be absorbing the sunlight.
Oscar wrapped himself tightly in his fur coat, his lips turning blue from the cold.
"Teacher Ye... this place is outrageous!"
Ye Hua ignored his complaints and began his Mental Detection.
The life force within a radius of more than ten miles spread out in his perception.
Countless tiny points of light from Soul Beast were scattered throughout the forest.
"Oscar, what type of Soul Spirit do you want?"
Oscar asserted, "An aggressive Soul Spirit!"
Ye Hua nodded, understanding his obsession with combat power.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm walked over and said, "Qilin, I suggest we find him Far North Icefield Bear."
"That guy has a powerful attack, thick skin, and ice resistance; he can both attack and withstand attacks."
"Far North Icefield Bear?" Ye Hua sifted through the information for a moment using his Mental Detection. "No, I don't see any."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook her head, "The Far North Icefield Bear are accustomed to living in groups, mostly deep in the Far North Forest."
"But that's okay, there are always losers who get kicked out of the group, and those are the perfect targets for being alone!"
Ye Hua looked at Oscar, "Do you want it?"
Oscar nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
"Then let's go."
The three of them trudged through the snow, passing through dense forests and Ice Seal streams.
As the temperature dropped, the white vapor in my breath condensed into frost on my eyelashes.
After advancing for about half an hour, they still hadn't found Far North Icefield Bear.
But just as Ye Hua accelerated his pace to go deeper, his mental energy suddenly detected thousands of light and electricity!
"Tian Meng," Ye Hua frowned, "Are there other inhabiting Soul Beast in the Far North Forest?"
"Yes," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm replied knowingly, "Titan Snow Demon and Ice Jade Scorpion all inhabit these places."
"No," Ye Hua shook his head, "It's too fast."
"What's too fast?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked, bewildered.
However, the next second, the sound of a hurricane howling came from ahead.
Large swaths of snow fell softly from the branches and landed on the ground.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's smile froze instantly. "Wait."
"What's that noise?" Oscar clenched his fists nervously.
Ye Hua then used Mental Sharing to simultaneously transmit the Mental Detection images to the two of them.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's expression changed drastically, "Snow Tree Demon Tide!"
"Damn it, my luck is just too bad!"
"Snow Tree Demon?" Oscar asked, bewildered.
Tian Meng Mengbing took a deep breath, "Snow Tree Demon, don't be fooled by its name. It's also known as the Bloodthirsty Snow Demon, and it's the craziest thing in the forest!"
"They usually hide under the snow, hunting and trampling their unfortunate victims, then sucking their blood dry!"
"Moreover, they occasionally form beast tides, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake!"
"Hiss—" Oscar gasped.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm glanced at him, "At your rate, you'd be a dried-up corpse in less than three seconds!"
Before the words were finished, countless dark brown figures broke through the snow at the edge of the snow valley ahead.
Those things looked like hollowed-out old trees with twisted animal faces growing on their trunks.
What's even more difficult is that they can fly with ease!!!
Oscar's legs went weak, and he instinctively said, "Teacher Ye, let's run?"
"Why are you running?" Ye Hua maintained his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul. "Don't you want your Soul Spirit anymore?"
Glug!
Oscar swallowed.
"But what's more deadly to me..."
He suddenly remembered that Ye Hua was the leader of the Long Night Alliance.
"That's right, Teacher Ye, you can call for reinforcements!"
To everyone's surprise, Ye Hua shook his head again.
"They don't need this little bit."
Ye Hua snapped his fingers, and in an instant, an invisible surge of spiritual energy caused countless Snow Tree Demon to perish!
Oscar gasped in astonishment; he hadn't expected Ye Hua to be this powerful!
Seeing his shocked expression, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm simply patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey! How could your Brother Sky Dream's Soul Ring be bad?"
"Brother Sky Dream," Oscar's voice trembled, "Your Soul Skill can't kill him!"
"Huh?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned.
"Behind us!" Oscar exclaimed.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly turned around.
But the Snow Tree Demon was already upon them!
