Fleshy Tumors! The Ice Bear Tribe Had Fallen!
"Wait! I've received a distress signal from Ice Empress!"
"What?!" Snow Empress's expression changed drastically!
"There's no mistake, this is the aura of the Ice Empress!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm affirmed.
"She sensed our presence and used her mental powers to send me a distress signal!"
"They must have thought that I specialize in mental abilities and am capable of detecting her signals!"
Ye Hua frowned. "What's going on?"
"I don't know, she didn't say." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm closed her eyes to sense it.
"Just let us get there quickly, she can't hold on much longer!"
Ye Hua and Snow Empress exchanged glances and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Full speed ahead!" Ye Hua said without hesitation.
He turned to Shui Bing'er and the others, "You stay in Arctic Town and guard the front line."
"Bing'er, you're the most reliable, keep an eye on them!"
Shui Bing'er was about to speak when Ye Hua raised his hand to stop her.
"No need to ask any more questions, the situation is urgent, I don't have time to explain."
"If we don't return in two days, you shall retreat to Notting City!"
Shui Bing'er's lips moved, but she finally nodded emphatically, "Be careful."
Ye Hua didn't say anything more, and directly used the Voice Transmitter to mobilize the forces of the Long Night Alliance.
Unleashing a beast tide that would overwhelm the Ice Empress is no small matter!
Ye Hua thought for a moment, then contacted Wang Qiu'er and asked her to go back to the Star Dou Forest to gather more people.
I originally wanted to contact Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan to ask my grandfather's generation for help.
However, considering that the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation should already be on the agenda, Ye Hua decided to give up.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo must remain at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to avoid the outbreak of the Soul Hunting Operation.
The forces behind the two wives can't afford to clash first!
The same applies to Dugu Bo.
He is the only Titled Douluo directly under the Heaven Dou Empire, and needs to be stationed in Heaven Dou City to balance the power.
Ye Hua shook his head, "Seven Titled Douluo and twenty Soul Douluo from the Long Night Alliance should be enough!"
Yinglong Wings in the night, with Snow Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm following closely behind, rushing into the depths of the forest.
The wind whistled in my ears, and snowflakes pelted my face.
His Auspicious Beast luck is sending a frantic warning!
Deep in the Far North Forest, something is swelling.
It wasn't the aura of Soul Beast, nor was it the work of Evil Soul Master.
It's more like a...
Pollution should not exist on the mainland!
The deeper we flew, the less the forest scenery seemed right.
The pine forest, which was originally covered with thick snow, began to show purplish-black patches.
Under the moonlight, its surface gleamed with an ominous sheen and an eerie color.
Ye Hua lowered his altitude, focused his gaze, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
It's a sarcoma!
Dark red, densely packed, basketball-sized tumors!
Covering the tree trunks and snow, it looked like a festering, pus-filled ulcer!
The surface of the sarcoma was smooth, and it throbbed slightly, as if it were alive.
Even more strangely, Ye Hua smelled a sweet fragrance the moment he approached them.
"Um?"
Sweet, warm, like the aroma of toasted bread.
"Wrong!"
Ye Hua abruptly stopped, unleashing his spiritual power to protect his Sea of Consciousness!
The fragrance vanished instantly, as if sliced by a sharp guillotine!
But the tumor didn't smell bad; it was just disgusting in appearance!
Its surface oozes a viscous liquid, somewhat like lavender-scented laundry detergent.
"This thing can even erode cognition?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm clicked its tongue in astonishment. "First it confuses, then it erodes—how vicious!"
[bite--]
[Unknown contamination detected in the Far North Forest, triggering a temporary mission]
[Mission Name: Rescue the Ice Empress]
[Mission Objective: Break through the contaminated area and successfully rescue Ice Empress]
[Task Reward: Blank Demi-Plane (can be freely shaped into different terrains and rules, approximately the size of Sunset Forest)]
[Task Description: I think I'll arrange it if you need it, but you can change it at any time if you don't want it]
Despite the urgency of the situation, Ye Hua stopped and browsed the system tasks.
Blank Demi-Plane?
Huo Gua Undead Demiplane gifted by Electrolux, which is the envy of many.
System Bro understands me perfectly!
While pondering, the three unknowingly arrived at the Ice Bear Tribe, which was also the hometown of Snow Tuan.
"Oh no!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gasped.
The valley ahead was covered in what appeared to be a fleshy tumor.
The towering cedar forest that once stood tall is gone, replaced by a wall of writhing flesh.
Those tumors, densely packed and piled on top of each other, drowned the tribe in decay!
Snow Empress's expression was extremely unpleasant.
She couldn't stand it anymore; this wretched thing was eroding her home!
"Great Snow Without Cold!"
Ye Hua didn't stop her; instead, he provided her with Soul Power.
Buzz--
A chill is running through the air!
Like a torrent pouring down!
The sarcomas were frozen and shattered!
It scattered into purple ice shards!
Ye Hua and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm retreated to avoid being affected by the cold air.
Frozen fragments of tumor covered the ground, reflecting purple light.
Snow Empress felt slightly better.
But only three breaths later, the fragments began to wriggle!
The crushed purple flesh, drawn together by an invisible force, recombine and form new tumors.
It's even bigger than before!
"Damn it!" Snow Empress gritted her teeth.
Ye Hua pressed her down and shook his head slightly.
With a wave of his hand, Gold Trial light burst forth!
[Auspicious Beast Luck] activated!
Golden light shines forth, attempting to purify.
However, it had no effect whatsoever.
Ye Hua refused to give up.
[Qilin Exclusive Skill - Mystic Wonder] Activated!
Even if I can't purify you, I can still tell what kind of thing you are, right?
But that won't work either!
Ye Hua was puzzled.
Could this be a species not even from this world?
"Hiss," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned, "Even the Qilin can't do it? What's its background?!"
"Who cares?" Snow Empress snapped, "If breaking it once isn't enough, then break it twice; if breaking it twice isn't enough, then break it ten times!"
She activated the Extreme Cold Domain again, but suddenly stopped.
The sarcoma needed time to regenerate, but cries for help came from deep within.
"Help... help me..."
Are there any Soul Beast outside...?
"We're trapped..."
Ye Hua raised an eyebrow, and the Nine-Dragon Spirit Yang Staff was in his grasp.
Fifth Soul Skill, Blood Fiend!
If it can't be broken, and I can't even see its head, can't I still devour it?
As expected, the tumor finally met its match when faced with Soul Skill that could devour.
Foolishly supplying power to replenish the parts that have been devoured, until they are completely devoured.
Ye Hua felt a weight lifted from his heart, at least he now knew how to devour and restrain this unknown object.
Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear, Meng Yiran's Eight Spider Lances, and his [Blood Fiend] are all good!
Moreover, each of Ye Hua's six Spirit Bone is a master at releasing power, so there's no need to worry about them being burst!
In no time, the tumor was cleared away, revealing the entrance to the cave.
Exclamations and commotion erupted from inside the cave.
Ye Hua and the others quickly entered.
Deep inside the cave, hundreds of Far North Icefield Bear thronged.
They huddled together, shivering.
Several elderly Elder were lying prone at the cave entrance, channeling their Soul Power to its limit to resist the erosion of the fleshy tumor.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the Old Bear at the head of the group was first stunned, then overjoyed.
"Auspicious Beast?"
"Sir Snow Empress?"
Old Bear's voice trembled, filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.
"You've finally arrived!"
Ye Hua quickly stepped forward to check on Old Bear's condition.
Their Soul Power was greatly depleted, and their skin was grayish, clearly indicating that they had been holding on for a long time.
"Don't speak, save your energy." Ye Hua activated his Extreme Cold Domain to defend them.
"Thank you..." Old Bear collapsed instantly.
Ye Hua used [Qilin Exclusive Skill - Life Healing] to heal them.
"Do you know what happened?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked.
"I don't know," Old Bear said painfully, "These purplish-red tumors suddenly sprouted from the ground last night; they were impossible to guard against!"
"Dozens of children were swept away... They disappeared without even having a chance to utter a sound!"
"If it weren't for the king passing by and rescuing us, our entire clan would have been wiped out long ago!"
"Xiao Bai?" Snow Empress pressed.
"This..." Old Bear hesitated, "You can call us that, but we can't."
A look of worry flashed in Snow Empress's eyes.
Ice Empress is in trouble, let alone Xiao Bai, who is even weaker.
This adopted son is simply obedient, but he's even less adept at dealing with these unexpected situations!
Ye Hua looked around, "Where's Xiong?"
Old Bear smiled wryly, pointed into the distance, and said, "The King received a distress call from the Ice Empress, ordering us to hold our ground and await reinforcements, while he went to rescue people!"
"That's the direction!"
Snow Empress's right eyelid twitched. "Let's go quickly!"
"Okay!" Ye Hua nodded.
But seeing the trembling Old Bear, he pondered for a moment.
"Why don't you come with me?"
Old Bear readily agreed, "That would be perfect! Our Soul Power is almost exhausted; staying here would be tantamount to waiting to die!"
Ye Hua didn't dawdle and immediately opened a passage, allowing the Far North Icefield Bear to escape.
The situation here is terrifying; it's possible that a sarcoma has invaded the core area!
In other places, the condition is actually less severe, and there is a greater chance of survival!
Only when the bears came out did Ye Hua let go.
Leading the large group, Ye Hua advanced under the guidance of Old Bear.
Once you know Xiao Bai's whereabouts, you can eventually find him and Ice Empress!
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the Snow Empress sensed a familiar presence!
However, this aura is clearly unstable!
