—------------------—
A terrible thought came to my mind:
Xue Tianxing must have been taken away by a powerful soul beast from the far north!
Moreover, the strength of this soul beast was far beyond imagination. Not only was it able to abduct Xue Tianxing right under his nose, it was also able to suppress Xue Tianxing so that he couldn't even release his soul power to ask for help. He couldn't even detect its breath.
Dugu Bo clenched his fists, feeling extremely anxious, and wanted to look around immediately.
But he turned to look at Liu Tianfeng who was absorbing the soul ring, and forced himself to suppress the impulse - Liu Tianfeng had just broken through to the Titled Douluo, and he could not be disturbed at the critical moment of absorbing the soul ring. If he left rashly, Liu Tianfeng would be in danger again, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Helplessly, Dugu Bo could only stay beside the ice rock, staring at the surroundings, while closely monitoring Liu Tianfeng's absorption progress.
As time passed, the soul power fluctuations around Liu Tianfeng became more and more stable.
Finally, Liu Tianfeng slowly opened his eyes, and a majestic Titled Douluo pressure erupted from his body. Nine spirit rings were neatly arranged under his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black - the last spirit ring was none other than the 80,000-year-old Blizzard Wind Wolf King's spirit ring, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
"Hahaha! I finally became a Titled Douluo!"
Liu Tianfeng stood up, feeling the unprecedented powerful strength in his body, his heart filled with heroism and excitement.
But before he could be happy for long, Dugu Bo quickly stepped forward and said in a serious tone:
"Old Liu, don't be too happy too soon, something happened to Xue kid!"
"What happened to Tianxing?"
The smile on Liu Tianfeng's face disappeared instantly.
"He's gone."
Dugu Bo said in a deep voice:
"I just came back from patrol and found that the place where he was hiding was empty. There were no footprints on the ground, and no soul power left. I suspect that he was abducted by an extremely powerful soul beast - a soul beast so powerful that Xue Xiaozi couldn't even call for help. Even I didn't detect its presence."
Liu Tianfeng's face suddenly changed, and he immediately released his mental power to cover the entire ice valley and the surrounding area. However, no matter how he searched, he could not find any trace of Xue Tianxing.
A strong sense of panic surged in his heart. He didn't even care about feeling the soul power that had just broken through. He grabbed Dugu Bo's arm and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, let's go find him! You search west, and I'll pursue east. Given the extent of the Far North, splitting up will save time. If there's no news after three days, we'll gather here and find another solution!"
"good!"
Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all. He knew the importance of Xue Tianxing to the Kingdom of Barak, and he was even more aware of Liu Tianfeng's love for Xue Tianxing.
The two men looked at each other and said no more. Liu Tianfeng turned into a blue light and rushed towards the east, while Dugu Bo released his soul power and flew towards the depths of the snow-capped mountains in the west.
The wind and snow in the far north are getting stronger and stronger. Two figures are quickly shuttling through the vast white snow, just to find the missing boy.
Xue Tianxing stood on the familiar ice field, his eyes swept across the deserted ice valley, and he knew in his heart that Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo must be in some corner of the far north at this moment, anxiously looking for him.
But the current situation made him feel troubled:
If we stay here and wait, what if the two of them search too wide a range and take too long to return here? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
But if he left the Far North first and returned to the Barak Kingdom, he was afraid that the two would not give up after not finding him and would rashly go deep into the central area of the Far North - that was the territory of the Titan Snow Demon King and even more powerful soul beasts. Even if they were all Titled Douluo, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
Both choices have risks. Xue Tianxing stood there, frowning tightly, unable to make a decision for a moment.
The cold wind from the far north blew across his cheeks, bringing with it a biting chill, but it could not dispel the entanglement in his heart at all.
Xue Tianxing could even imagine that Grandpa Liu must be extremely anxious after discovering his disappearance, and might have searched deeper regardless of the danger.
Just then, a sharp cry pierced the sky.
Xue Tianxing suddenly looked up and saw a thousand-year-old snow eagle with a wingspan of seven or eight meters hovering above the ice valley. Its eyes were fixed on the corpse of the blizzard wind wolf in the valley, obviously attracted by the smell of blood.
Soon, the Snow Eagle swooped down and landed beside the body of the Blizzard Wind Wolf King. It tore the wolf corpse open with its sharp beak and claws and began to bite it.
This scene made Xue Tianxing alert instantly:
The carcasses of the Blizzard Wind Wolves were rich in soul power, and would inevitably attract more carnivorous soul beasts like the Snow Eagle. Furthermore, this ice valley was strategically located, sheltered from the wind and cold, and close to a water source. Now that the Blizzard Wind Wolves had been annihilated, other soul beast packs would soon arrive to seize the territory.
If he continued to stay here, he might be besieged by the soul beasts that arrived later, and then he would be in danger.
"No more hesitation!"
Xue Tianxing acted decisively and made a decision - to go to a small town on the outskirts of the Far North and wait.
This not only avoids the risk of encountering soul beasts if staying in place, but also leaves clues for Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo to search for.
If the two still don't show up after a few days, he will return to the Kingdom of Barak and make other plans.
After making up his mind, Xue Tianxing quickly walked to the huge ice rock where he had been hiding before.
He mobilized his soul power, concentrated it on his fingertips, and carved a message on the smooth surface of the ice rock stroke by stroke:
"Grandpa Liu, Senior Dugu, I'm safe and sound. Don't worry. Please don't search any further into the Far North. I'll return to the outlying town to wait for you two. I hope you'll reunite soon. —Tian Xing"
After carving the words, Xue Tianxing checked them carefully again to make sure the handwriting was clear and not easily covered by wind and snow before turning around with peace of mind.
At this time, the ten thousand year old snow eagle was still concentrating on biting the wolf corpse and did not notice his movements.
Xue Tianxing lowered his body, took cover from the raised terrain on the ice field, carefully avoided the Snow Eagle's sight, and retreated towards the outer edge of the Far North.
After they were far away from the ice valley and confirmed that there was no danger, Xue Tianxing spread his ice phoenix wings, activated his soul power and soared into the sky.
He didn't fly very high, which not only ensured his speed but also allowed him to observe the movements on the ground at any time to prevent another accident.
The world of ice and snow beneath him was rapidly receding. Xue Tianxing felt both worried about Liu Tianfeng and the others and full of expectations for the future - as long as they could meet up smoothly in the small town, this trip to the Far North would be a true success.
At this time, Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo were still anxiously searching in the vast sea of snow.
Liu Tianfeng's Frost Wind Sword continuously cut through the ice spikes that blocked his path, and his mental power spread out without reservation, refusing to let go of any corner;
Dugu Bo released a faint green phosphorus snake venom and used the spread of the poison gas to detect the scent, his eyes full of anxiety.
