Ice Eagle Skull, Soul Sage Xue Wu
Huo Lei smiled and said, "Senior An Jun, please take a break this time. I'll examine this Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle!"
"Okay! Then I wish you good luck." An Jun smiled and nodded.
Huo Lei's lips curled up, and with a flick of his right hand, he produced a sharp and gleaming dagger, which he then thrust towards the head of the Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle on the ground.
Spirit-type Soul Beast have a relatively high chance of producing Head Soul Bone, and this is true for land Soul Beast as well, and even more so for flying Soul Beast. In terms of the body structure of eagles, the chance of producing Torso Soul Bone Soul Bone from their wings and claws is extremely low, and the chance of producing spirit bones from their torso is even more difficult. If there is no Soul Bone in the head, it is basically equivalent to declaring that nothing has been obtained. Therefore, Huo Lei did not hesitate to choose the head of the Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle.
Huo Lei was fast and skillful, all thanks to his gradual accumulation of experience.
In a short while, Huo Lei took out a palm-sized Soul Bone from the head of the Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle.
The Head Soul Bone of the Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle was entirely ice-blue, crystal clear, as if carved from crystal, radiating a captivating pale blue light. Although it was not large, the spiritual fluctuations emanating from it brought waves of clarity to the mind.
Huo Lei excitedly handed the Soul Bone to Shui Bing'er, instructing her, "Bing'er, take the Soul Bone and sit with Xue Wu, absorb it quickly! I will release the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to protect you both."
"Okay." Shui Bing'er accepted the Soul Bone with both hands, smiled and replied, then walked towards Xue Wu's location.
Yunxiang looked at Shui Bing'er with a beaming smile and congratulated her, "Congratulations Bing'er, on the birth of your Soul Bone!"
"Thank you, Sister Yunxiang!" Shui Bing'er smiled sweetly and responded simply before sitting down next to Xue Wu and beginning to absorb the Head Soul Bone she had just obtained.
Huo Lei immediately put away the Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle's body without further inspection, as it was no longer necessary. It was already quite good if a Soul Beast could produce one Soul Bone; the probability of producing two Soul Bone was almost zero. Huo Lei didn't believe he had that kind of luck. Even if he wanted to inspect it, he would do so when he had time. The most urgent task was to create favorable conditions for Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu so that they could absorb Soul Ring and Soul Bone in peace.
The group gathered together, Huo Lei unleashed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, simultaneously activating his invisibility skill.
Huo Lei, An Jun, and Yunxiang all remained silent and sat down cross-legged, waiting for Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu to wake up.
Half an hour later, Shui Bing'er was the first to wake up. With her Soul Power Level reaching level 80 and possessing the Ultimate Ice attribute, absorbing a 60,000-year-old Soul Bone was still quite easy for her.
After Shui Bing'er woke up, she found that Xue Wu was still absorbing the Soul Ring, so she didn't dare to make a sound. Instead, she slowly got up and walked towards the location of Huo Lei.
Seeing that Shui Bing'er had completed the Soul Bone fusion, Huo Lei, An Jun, and Yunxiang all stood up from the ground.
Yunxiang smiled and softly asked Shui Bing'er, who was walking towards her, "Sister Bing'er, after fusing with the 60,000-year-old Head Soul Bone, has your spiritual power been greatly enhanced?"
Shui Bing'er nodded excitedly and replied softly, "Yes. This spirit Skull is indeed extraordinary. I feel my mental strength has increased a lot."
"Bing'er, should we absorb the Right Arm Bone produced by the Ice Bear while Xue Wu is still absorbing the Soul Ring?" Huo Lei tentatively asked.
Shui Bing'er shook her head slightly and smiled gently, "No, thank you. Judging from the timeline, Xue Wu should be finishing absorbing the Soul Ring soon. After she finishes attaching the Soul Ring, let's return to the cave before dawn. I can absorb the Right Arm Soul Bone after we get back."
"Alright!" Huo Lei replied.
As soon as Huo Lei finished speaking, the black Soul Ring on Xue Wu's body was absorbed into her body. Then, seven Soul Ring, two yellow, two purple, and three black, swirled out rhythmically, disappearing in an instant. Immediately afterward, Xue Wu woke up.
Xue Wu stood up, looked at everyone, and gave a faint smile, saying, "I succeeded."
"Congratulations, Xue Wu, on becoming Soul Sage." Yunxiang stepped forward and offered her blessings to Xue Wu.
"Congratulations!" Everyone offered their blessings to Xue Wu.
"Thank you, elder sister, thank you everyone." Xue Wu expressed her gratitude to Shui Bing'er, Huo Lei, An Jun, and the others.
Huo Lei said, "Xue Wu, put away the Ice Dream Snow Fox and Snow Spirit Rabbit on the ground! Let's start preparing to return now, and check on these two Soul Beast when we get back to the cave!"
Xue Wu nodded in acknowledgment, and a sliver of light emanated from the Storage Ring on her right hand, allowing the Ice Dream Snow Fox and Snow Spirit Rabbit to be stored inside.
As night fell, Huo Lei and his group returned to the cave. Jin Shan and the Huo Lei Snow Soul Bear King were amazed by their efficiency; they had obtained two high-quality Soul Bone in just one day, which was extremely fortunate.
Jin Shan, itching to check, couldn't resist and personally inspected the Ice Dream Snow Fox and Snow Spirit Rabbit, only to find nothing, leaving Jin Shan feeling quite frustrated.
Since the Snow Spirit Rabbit had already been eaten by the Ice Dream Snow Fox, the group naturally wouldn't eat it again, and directly gave the remaining parts to the Snow Soul Bear King as food. They put the Howling Sky Ultimate Ice Eagle on the grill.
After everyone finished dinner, Shui Bing'er went into the cave alone to absorb the Right Arm Bone that the Ice Bear had dropped.
Nothing more was said that night.
The next morning, Huo Lei threw the clean bones into the campfire, got up, wiped his mouth, and walked straight towards the Snow Soul Bear King.
Huo Lei smiled and looked at the towering Snow Soul Bear King, respectfully asking, "Senior Bear King, do you know of any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that are closest to here?"
The Snow Soul Bear King, "About six or seven kilometers east of here, there is a 'Frozen Ice Willow' with a cultivation level of 100,000 years, which calls itself an emperor. About seven or eight kilometers west of here, there is a ' Cold Ice Crocodile ' with a cultivation level of 100,000 years, which calls itself a king. These two are the closest Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to us."
Huo Lei continued to inquire, "How much do you know about them? What is their relationship?"
The Snow Soul Bear King exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha! You want to hunt them down to make Soul Ring for Miss Bing'er, right? Go ahead and do it without worry. I don't have any connection with them, but I do know a bit about the Cold Ice Crocodile King and the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor. After all, I've fought them before. Both of them are incredibly powerful. The Cold Ice Crocodile King has strong attack, high defense, and great strength; its only weakness is its slow speed. As for the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor, it's even slower than the Cold Ice Crocodile King, but it's extremely troublesome. Once you enter its attack range, it's hard to get rid of its annoying willow branches."
Huo Lei asked again, "Senior Bear King, which of these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is stronger?"
The Snow Soul Bear King pondered for a moment, then shook his head somewhat hesitantly, saying, "Well... I can't say for sure. They each have their strengths. Once Soul Beast reach the 100,000-year level, the difference in strength between them isn't significant. Both of them would be suitable for Miss Bing'er. As for which one to choose, that's up to you."
"Teacher, what do you think?" Huo Lei looked at Jin Shan, who was standing not far from the Snow Soul Bear King, and asked for his opinion.
Jin Shan said nonchalantly, "You can choose whichever you want, I don't care. This time I'll go out with you all for some fresh air, let Brother An Jun stay and rest!"
"Great! With the teacher involved, we're practically guaranteed to win," Huo Lei flattered.
Huo Lei returned to the cave and discussed it with his companions. They decided that An Jun, Xue Wu, and Yunxiang would stay in the cave, while he, Shui Bing'er, and Jin Shan would go to hunt down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
