" Eternal Frost Mourning Demon?"
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's explanation, Xiao Yan showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He had long since read all the books in the Grandmaster's room, but he had never heard of this kind of Soul Beast.
Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's puzzled expressions, but seemed unsurprised.
Such a Soul Beast is extremely rare.
So rare that it's not even included among the common Soul Beast species on the mainland.
Only a few powerful factions may possess records of information about the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon.
" The Eternal Frost Mourning Demon is a rather special Soul Beast. It is born only in the frigid Far North lands or after large ancient battlefields, and after its birth, it slumbers beneath the permafrost."
Qian Renxue explained the origin of this kind of Soul Beast to the two of them:
"The place where the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon slumbers is often filled with a large amount of death energy and lingering souls, so the surrounding environment gradually becomes cold and gloomy."
Moreover, the birth of a Soul Beast is extremely difficult. From birth to the development of consciousness, it almost always takes tens of thousands of years. Therefore, even the lowest-grade Soul Ring of a Soul Beast takes tens of thousands of years, which is not suitable for you.
Xiao Yan listened to Qian Renxue's introduction, his eyes gradually brightened.
He was even more eager to see such a peculiar Soul Beast.
However, for safety reasons, Xiao Yan focused his attention on his new boss and bodyguard, Qian Renxue, and asked:
"We'll just take a look from the outside, that should be fine, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and nodded, saying:
"If you don't go too deep, it should be fine."
"Then let's go and see this Soul Beast."
Hunting for Soul Ring is also a process of broadening one's horizons. Xiao Yan naturally wanted to see these peculiar Soul Beast that he had never heard of before.
However, with Qian Renxue's reminder, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing became even more cautious.
As they moved forward, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and even their breath condensed into a light frost in mid-air.
The surrounding ground and tree trunks were gradually covered with a white layer.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
As they drew closer, a faint, rhythmic song gradually reached Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's ears.
It was described as singing, but to Xiao Yan, it sounded more like a rhythmic... wailing.
As the sound reached his ears, Xiao Yan keenly sensed that the Soul Power within his body seemed to tremble for a moment, but it returned to normal as the aura of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame surged forth.
Qian Renxue's voice came from behind at just the right moment:
"Did you feel it? The wails of the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon can cause mental attacks on Soul Master, making them prone to overthinking, and it can also cause their Soul Power to gradually stagnate..."
Xiao Yan listened to Qian Renxue's description, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Isn't this exactly the characteristic of Bone Spirit Cold Flame?
Xiao Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and asked softly, "Do you feel that way too?"
Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking:
"When that wail came just now, a lot of chaotic thoughts did pop into my mind, and my Soul Power was slightly affected, but it disappeared quickly."
Zhu Zhuqing naturally knew about the special nature of Xiao Yan's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, so she recounted her experience.
Qian Renxue nodded and said:
"This is because you are far away from it, so the suppression effect is weak. The closer you get, the more pronounced the effect will be."
Xiao Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Be Xiao Xin. If things don't look right, don't come any closer. This thing... doesn't seem to work on me."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing nod, Xiao Yan moved forward again, and soon, a faint figure appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.
It's like the center of a pure world, like a snow country.
A strange creature, half-solid and half-energy, appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.
It has no fixed form; its core is a pale, silently burning flame, while its outer perimeter consists of constantly condensing and breaking ice crystals and distorted phantoms formed by absorbing the remnants of the battlefield.
It moves silently, emanating a chilling aura and unsettling wails of the soul.
Even Qian Renxue had only seen records of the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon in the Spirit Hall's archives. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of curiosity:
"According to the records inside the hall, the pale flame at its core is the source of its life and energy, while the surrounding ice crystals and phantoms are its means of defense and attack."
Moreover, the permafrost field that naturally emanates from its body can freeze any creature that approaches, greatly reducing its speed. It can already be considered a prototype of a domain.
At the same time, its attacks can directly freeze and slow down the opponent's Soul Power circulation, making the opponent feel that their Soul Power is obscure and difficult to control, and making it more difficult and costly to release Soul Skill.
At this point, Qian Renxue shook her head with a sigh and said:
"Fortunately, the birth of these Soul Beast is extremely difficult, and even if they are born, most of the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon lack intelligence; otherwise, it would probably be a disaster for the Soul Master World..."
As Qian Renxue spoke, Xiao Yan felt more and more that his Martial Soul was related to the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon.
It can also freeze the opponent's Soul Power, causing a mental attack.
More importantly, at this distance, Xiao Yan felt no discomfort whatsoever from the rhythmic wails coming from beside him.
"Whoosh!"
With this in mind, Xiao Yan Xiao Xin released his Martial Soul.
The cold white flames enveloped Xiao Yan completely. In this icy and snowy landscape, Xiao Yan not only felt no discomfort, but even felt a faint warmth.
"Retreat!"
The next moment, Qian Renxue's pupils shrank sharply behind Xiao Yan, and she grabbed Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders with both hands. A golden energy burst out from Qian Renxue's pupils.
They sped forward.
"Laugh!"
A sound like melting ice rang out, and a semi-transparent figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan and the others.
The ice crystals and phantoms surrounding the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon began to change.
Qian Renxue's attack pierced through its body, making it appear even more transparent.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
At close range, a piercing wail rang out, and Xiao Yan clearly felt Zhu Zhuqing's body pause slightly for a moment before leaping behind her.
"Boom!"
Although he didn't know why he wasn't affected, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and cold white flames swirled from his hand, circling around the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon in front of him.
"Hiss... hiss..."
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame enveloped the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon, and the ice crystals and phantoms on its exterior began to melt rapidly at a visible speed.
Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue lowered the attack she had been conjuring, a look of surprise in her eyes.
Soon, the ice crystals and phantom of the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon Hound melted away under the scorching flames, leaving only the white flame at its core.
"This..." Qian Renxue's eyes widened.
Wasn't it said that the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon would attack any living creature it saw?
What's going on?
"Destroying this Heart Flame is equivalent to killing the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon, right?"
Qian Renxue nodded blankly after hearing Xiao Yan's words.
Then, watching as Xiao Yan destroyed the Heart Flame without any hindrance, a jet-black Soul Ring slowly rose up the moment the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon fell.
Immediately, it merged directly into the cold white flames released by Xiao Yan!
