The group traveled during the day and camped out at night for meditation and spiritual practice.
Of course, Dai Mubai wasn't just focused on getting there; he was also keeping an eye out for suitable Soul Beast for Shui Bing'er.
Unfortunately, by the time Shui Bing'er arrived at the target area on the fifth day, she still hadn't met anyone she liked.
The group arrived at the glacial canyon and, after a careful investigation, discovered the Mirror Shadow Beast on one side of the canyon. It was estimated to be a little over 20,000 years old.
That should be it.
The Mirror Shadow Beast was covered in almost transparent white scales, and from a distance, it looked no different from a pile of snow.
Its combat power is indeed not very strong; once its disguise is exposed, it is basically doomed.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong boosted the damage, Shui Bing'er initiated with crowd control, Dai Lingling and Yang Pojun pressed forward from the left and right, and the others blocked the retreat.
When the Mirror Shadow Beast realized its disguise had been exposed, it tried to run away, but all its escape routes were blocked.
After several rounds, he was pinned down in the snow and struggled desperately.
Oscar finished it off himself, and a black Soul Ring slowly rose up.
Dai Mubai stepped forward to examine the corpse and removed a piece of luminous white Soul Bone from its head.
It was the Image Head Soul Bone.
Dai Mubai handed the Soul Bone to Oscar, Oscar looked ecstatic.
Dai Mubai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Absorb the Soul Ring first, then absorb the Soul Bone."
Oscar nodded emphatically and sat down cross-legged.
More than two hours later, the Soul Ring was fully absorbed.
Next, Oscar began fusing the skull together.
Another hour has passed.
Having absorbed Soul Ring and Image Head Bone that were over 20,000 years old, along with more than three months of cultivation and the 20,000-year-old Left Arm Bone he had previously absorbed, Oscar's Soul Power surged, directly reaching level 53.
Fifth Soul Skill, Duplication Mirror Sausage. Created using Soul Master's blood, it can copy 70% of the opponent's Soul Skill's power.
After fusing with the Image Head Bone, the power of the copied Soul Skill increased to eighty percent.
The Image Head Bone skill creates a clone with 80% of the original's strength, lasting for one minute.
Oscar immediately took a drop of blood from Dai Lingling, created a Duplication Mirror Sausage, and swallowed it in one gulp.
White Tiger phantom, identical to Dai Lingling's Martial Soul, immediately appeared behind him.
" White Tiger Body Barrier!"
Oscar was immediately surrounded by a defensive light shield identical to the one Dai Lingling had used when she unleashed her first Soul Skill.
" White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
Immediately afterwards, Oscar unleashed a beam of light that snapped a large tree in half nearby.
"Hahaha! I have attack power now!"
Oscar was so happy that he danced around, grabbed Dai Lingling and spun her around, which earned him a flurry of punches from Dai Lingling.
Having resolved Oscar's Soul Ring, they continued their journey.
The group headed north into the depths of the Frozen Forest to find suitable Soul Beast for Shui Bing'er and Shui Zihan.
The deeper you go into the forest, the older the Soul Beast become, and the more ferocious their auras grow.
Although the Frozen Forest doesn't have as many Soul Beast as the Star Dou Great Forest, you can still frequently encounter Soul Beast that are 30,000 or 40,000 years old.
However, Dai Mubai and the others did not deliberately provoke unsuitable Soul Beast, but instead avoided them from a distance.
On the tenth day, Shui Bing'er found a suitable Soul Beast.
It was an Ice Crystal Beast hidden in an ice cave, about 25,000 years old.
The Ice Crystal Beast is an extremely pure ice-attribute Soul Beast, which aligns perfectly with Shui Bing'er's goal of pursuing pure ice attributes.
It is crystal clear and resembles an Ice Bear, with a body length of nearly four meters. Its entire body is covered with a layer of ice armor that looks like crystal, and each piece of ice armor is like a sharp sword.
When faced with danger, the Ice Crystal Beast will unleash its ice swords in all directions.
The ice sword is extremely fast and has great penetrating power, making it very difficult for ordinary Soul Master to defend against.
Then, after a maximum of fifteen minutes, the Ice Crystal Beast can grow new ice swords again.
Hunting the Ice Crystal Beast is not complicated.
The Ice Crystal Beast is not fast and its attack methods are relatively simple. Dai Mubai and the others only need to be able to withstand the attacks of the ice sword.
Niu Zhen stood at the forefront with his terrifying defense; with multiple layers of defensive skills stacked on top of each other, Niu Zhen was like an iron wall.
The ice swords struck him, clanging and clattering.
Although the ice sword couldn't pierce Niu Zhen's iron wall, the impact still made Niu Zhen's whole body go numb.
Dai Mubai continuously depleted the Ice Crystal Beast's strength, striking with his tiger claws time and again.
Finally Shui Bing'er used her fourth Soul Skill, " Ice Rapid Cone," and a beam of icy blue light shot out, accurately Penetration the Ice Crystal Beast 'Ice Crystal Beast forehead and killing it completely.
Dai Mubai examined the Ice Crystal Beast's corpse, but unfortunately, it didn't yield Soul Bone.
After absorbing the Soul Ring, and having cultivated for nearly four months after breaking through level 50, Shui Bing'er's Soul Power directly broke through to level 53.
The fifth Soul Skill is called " Ice Phoenix Sword Rain ".
The effect is somewhat similar to Sword Douluo's Soul Skill " Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin ".
When activated, the Ice Phoenix's icy power condensed into hundreds of ice crystal longswords around it, each one incredibly sharp.
A barrage of ice swords rained down on the designated target area, covering a radius of fifty meters.
When the ice sword strikes an enemy, it deals extremely high physical damage.
If it fails to attack an enemy, it will explode into a cloud of ice mist upon landing, slowing down stronger enemies and freezing weaker ones into ice sculptures.
This is a very good area-of-effect attack and control Soul Skill.
After finishing their business, the group continued north.
Five days later, they arrived at a permafrost lake deep in the Frozen Forest, near the Far North.
The lake stretched as far as the eye could see, and the ice was incredibly thick, roughly estimated to be nearly three meters.
These deep, permafrost lakes often harbor ancient monsters that are extremely rare, as they usually remain hidden beneath the ice.
The group set up camp by the lake, Dai Mubai and Shui Zihan continued to search for traces in the area.
Finally, on the third day, while passing through a fractured layer, the two discovered a nearly 70,000-year-old Ice Devil Fish.
The Ice Devil Fish is over five meters long, with a translucent ice-blue body and scales that are layered like thin ice. When it swims in the water beneath the ice, it almost blends into its surroundings.
It cultivates by devouring all kinds of creatures, whether they are aquatic or terrestrial.
This is also its strongest method that allows it to cultivate for 70,000 years, and it's also the reason why there are so few Soul Beast in this frozen lake.
The Ice Devil Fish is not strong in attack, but its most troublesome aspect is its extremely fast speed in the water and its ability to manipulate the water temperature around it. Wherever it goes, it can instantly freeze the lake water into an ice wall to block pursuit, making it extremely difficult to catch.
The group first used Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame to melt a large area of water on the lake surface.
Then, Shui Zihan restrained the Ice Demon Fish underwater, while Jadeglow Dolphin was also extremely fast in the water, slowly luring the Ice Devil Fish into the encirclement.
With the amplification provided by Ning Rongrong and Oscar, and with the help of Shui Bing'er's control skills to surround and restrain them, Dai Mubai seized the opportunity to launch a powerful attack, bringing the Ice Devil Fish to the brink of death and successfully capturing it ashore.
