—------------------—
After a brief greeting, Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo activated their soul power at the same time. Two halos, one blue and one green, enveloped Xue Tianxing. The three of them leaped up and turned into three streams of light, rushing towards the far north.
The Titled Douluo flew at full speed at an extremely high speed. The towns and forests along the way quickly retreated backwards. It was not until the sun set and a white world of ice and snow appeared at the end of the horizon that the three of them slowly landed.
This is a small town on the outskirts of the Far North. The houses in the town are covered with thick snow. Pedestrians are wearing heavy fur coats, and the breath they exhale instantly condenses into white mist.
The three of them found a fairly clean-looking inn to stay in. Firstly, they wanted to rest and recover from the fatigue of the journey, and secondly and more importantly, they wanted to purchase the supplies needed to enter the Far North - thick fur coats to resist the cold, compressed dry food to replenish physical strength, non-slip boots to cope with the icy and snowy environment, and some potions to dispel low-level soul beasts. Of course, these were specially prepared for Xue Tianxing, and Dugu Bo and Liu Tianfeng had no use for them at all.
Liu Tianfeng was experienced and quickly made a list of what was needed. He then asked someone to purchase the supplies, and soon all the supplies were ready.
That night, the three of them briefly discussed their itinerary in the hotel room:
What Xue Tianxing needed was an ice-attribute soul ring of about 20,000 years old, while Liu Tianfeng's ninth soul ring was aimed at a top-level soul beast of 70,000 to 80,000 years old. The outer soul beasts obviously could not meet the needs, so they decided to go directly into the middle circle of the Far North the next day, which was the gathering place of high-age ice-attribute soul beasts.
The next morning, the three of them had breakfast and set off again with the prepared supplies.
As soon as we stepped into the far north, a biting cold wind blew towards us, which was several times colder than the cold in the small town.
Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo quickly released their soul power barrier, protecting Xue Tianxing in the middle and isolating most of the cold air.
Xue Tianxing was protected by the barrier, and looked at the ice and snow world below with curiosity:
Looking around, everything is covered in silver. The rolling snow-capped mountains look like giant dragons covered in ice and snow. There is no trace of green on the vast ice field. Only the snowbirds unique to the Far North occasionally fly by, and the figures of soul beasts leaving footprints in the snow - there are huge ice field giant bears, swift snow leopard soul beasts, and ice thorn snakes gliding on the ice. Each one exudes an aura of being one with the ice and snow.
Looking at the magnificent scene of thousands of miles of ice and snow, Xue Tianxing couldn't help but recall the poems of great men he had read in his previous life, and an indescribable sense of pride surged in his heart.
"Let's go straight to the center circle."
Liu Tianfeng's voice came through the soul barrier:
"The soul beasts outside are too young to meet our requirements."
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement:
"The soul beasts in the Far North Central Circle are generally over ten thousand years old, and there are quite a few ice-type soul beasts that are seventy or eighty thousand years old, which is just right for you. As for this kid's twenty thousand year soul ring, we can also find a suitable one in the Central Circle."
As they spoke, the three of them quickened their speed and flew towards the center circle of the Far North.
As we went deeper, the temperature became lower and lower, the ice soul power in the air became richer and richer, and the aura of the surrounding soul beasts became stronger and stronger.
Xue Tianxing followed closely between the two of them, using his soul power to resist the severe cold while vigilantly observing his surroundings - he knew that the Far North was full of dangers and that one could face fatal dangers if not careful, but for the sake of his powerful soul ring, he had to continue on this dangerous journey.
Before long, the three of them entered the middle circle of the Far North. The wind and snow here were even more violent than those outside. The icy spirit energy between heaven and earth was so dense it seemed to have solidified. The ice beneath their feet had also thickened several times, and they could faintly hear the sound of water flowing beneath the ice.
"Stop flying, walk."
Dugu Bo stopped first and said in a serious tone:
"The middle circle is different from the outer circle. There might be a hundred thousand year old soul beast hiding there. The soul power fluctuations during flight are too great, which can easily expose your whereabouts. If you are targeted by a top soul beast, you will be in big trouble."
The three of them restrained their breathing and walked carefully among the ice fields and snow-capped peaks in the middle circle of the Far North.
The cold here is several times stronger than outside. The ice underfoot is thick enough to bear a huge weight. The air is filled with the breath of various soul beasts, so every step requires extreme caution.
In the past three days, they have encountered many ice-attribute soul beasts:
There is an ice-armored bear that is sturdy and 60,000 years old, but its martial soul is not compatible enough and is not suitable for Liu Tianfeng's sword-type martial soul; there is also an ice crystal saber-toothed tiger that is extremely compatible, but it is just over 50,000 years old, which is far from the 70,000 to 80,000 years that Liu Tianfeng expected.
After searching again and again and giving up again and again, the three of them, despite their patience, gradually felt the rarity and strength of the soul beasts in the middle circle.
On the afternoon of the third day, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly swept in from the northwest, covering the entire area like a dark cloud.
The majestic and domineering aura made Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo's faces change drastically at the same time. They almost subconsciously stopped and looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes - the owner of this aura was definitely much stronger than them. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would have no chance of winning!
"Quick! Hide!"
Liu Tianfeng let out a low shout and pulled Xue Tianxing behind a huge ice rock. Dugu Bo immediately followed, and the three of them huddled in the shadows.
Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo simultaneously activated their entire body's soul power, forming a thick breath barrier that completely concealed the breath of the three people, making even their breathing extremely light.
The terrifying aura was getting closer and closer, and there was even a faint vibration from the ground.
Not long after, the owner of the aura finally appeared in the sight of the three people - it was a giant soul beast with a body hundreds of meters tall, covered with snow-white hair all over its body, and under the hair was black skin as hard as rock. Its head was shaped like a tiger, but it had two huge curved horns, and a pair of amber eyes as big as lanterns, exuding an oppressive aura that looked down on the world.
"Titan Snow Demon King!"
Xue Tianxing took a deep breath and instantly recognized the soul beast.
As one of the three great kings of the Far North, the third-ranked Titan Snow Demon King is nearly 200,000 years old, and his strength is enough to rival the top existence among the Titled Douluo.
Xue Tianxing was full of doubts:
The Titan Snow Demon King has always lived in the central area of the Far North. Why did he suddenly come to the central circle?
What made the three of them even more heart-stopping was that when the Titan Snow Demon King came to a place less than a hundred meters away from them, he suddenly stopped, and his amber eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, as if he had noticed something unusual.
Its huge nose twitched slightly, as if sniffing the strange scent in the air.
Liu Tianfeng, who was hiding behind the ice rock, had cold sweat on his palms. He looked at Xue Tianxing quietly, his eyes full of determination.
Liu Tianfeng knew that his old life was not worth cherishing, but Xue Tianxing was the future of the Barak Kingdom and he must not die here.
