Chapter 62: Directly Charging into the Core of the Extreme North!
"Scott, you stay here with Na'er and wait for us to return. Take good care of her, and don't let anything happen!" Ye Wen instructed seriously.
"Yes! Master!" Scott obeyed the command and stayed behind to look after Na'er.
"Na... Na'er can't come with you?" Na'er looked reluctant.
Xiao Bai gently said, "No, Na'er, the Extreme North is dangerous and extremely cold. You won't be able to endure it there. Wait for us to return!"
"Alright..." Na'er agreed with a sigh.
"Alright, let's go! To the Extreme North!" Ye Wen called to the others to begin their journey.
The King of Slaughter, Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, Daming, and Erming all followed Ye Wen as they moved toward the Extreme North.
The group traveled quickly, and within two hours, they reached the edge of the Extreme North.
"This is the Extreme North," Ye Wen said.
In front of them were massive ice mountains, stretching on endlessly, looking magnificent and awe-inspiring.
A group of powerful soul beasts, not from the Extreme North, charged into the area.
In the outer region, many northern human soul masters hunted soul beasts to survive.
However, most dared only venture near the edge of the inner region. Once they entered deeper into the core, the extreme cold was something ordinary human soul masters couldn't withstand.
If they encountered powerful 10,000-year soul beasts at that point, death would be almost certain.
Thus, the core region of the Extreme North was just as dangerous as the core of the Star Dou Forest.
To avoid being seen by human soul masters, the group traveled in human form through the ice and snow until they reached the edge of the core region, where they stopped.
"Alright! Daming, Erming, switch to your beast forms!" Ye Wen ordered.
"Yes! Boss!" Daming and Erming quickly transformed back into the massive Qing Tian Niu Mang and Titan Giant Ape.
The King of Slaughter flew in the sky, while Ye Wen rode on Daming's head, with Xie Hu and Xiao Bai sitting on Erming's shoulders.
The soul power radiating from Daming and Erming warmed the three of them in their human forms.
Sea soul beasts struggled on land, and half-human forms also had their time limits, so Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai remained in their human forms for now and rode on Daming and Erming.
The group charged forward into the heart of the Extreme North.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Erming ran, the entire ice mountain shook with each step.
Along the way, all the soul beasts living in the snow and ice fled in terror when they saw the massive forms of Daming and Erming.
Some soul beasts above the 10,000-year level were especially terrified. They had developed intelligence at this stage and could feel the immense power of Daming and Erming.
While terrified, they were also confused and shocked.
What kind of soul beasts are these?
Why have we never seen such creatures before?
Are they soul beasts of our territory?
Many 10,000-year soul beasts could sense that Daming and Erming were not native to the Extreme North.
There were clear differences between the forest soul beasts and the ice soul beasts, and they could feel it!
At this moment, two brave ice bears, with power around 50,000 years, attempted to challenge Daming and Erming or drive away these foreign soul beasts.
They attacked directly.
"Roar!!"
The two 50,000-year ice bears roared and pounced.
"Leave it to me!!" Daming shouted.
"Two 50,000-year soul beasts dare to stop me, the Titan Giant Ape?" he bellowed. "You overestimate yourselves!"
"Roar!!!"
The Titan Giant Ape roared like a wild beast.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He swung his arms, smashing his fists into his chest in an iconic gesture favored by primates like gorillas and monkeys.
After pounding his chest, the two 50,000-year ice bears had already reached the front of the Titan Giant Ape.
With a mighty roar, he slammed his fists into the ground.
Boom!
A terrifying gravity field immediately pressed the two 50,000-year ice bears into the ground.
This was the Titan Giant Ape's Gravity Domain!
"Roar!"
The Titan Giant Ape roared, his massive body lifted with a force like a mountain pressing down. His two fists came crashing down from above, smashing into the two 50,000-year ice bears.
"Roar!!"
The two 50,000-year ice bears cried out in pain before going silent, knocked unconscious by the Titan Giant Ape's powerful strike.
"Hehe, Erming, you didn't go easy on them. You almost crushed them to death," Ye Wen chuckled.
"Sorry, Boss, I overestimated the ice and snow soul beasts. I'll be more careful next time," the Titan Giant Ape apologized, retracting his strength.
"It's alright. Let's go, continue forward."
"Yes!"
The group moved out again. To save time, the King of Slaughter led the way, taking down one soul beast after another.
Since they were all soul beasts with no personal interests or grudges, Ye Wen and his team didn't kill the soul beasts they encountered, just knocked them down or knocked them unconscious.
As they moved closer to the core of the Extreme North, the strength of the soul beasts they encountered continued to increase.
At the same time, the temperature dropped even further, almost reaching the extreme cold.
Even with the protection of Daming and Erming's soul power, Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai struggled to endure the cold.
Even Daming and Erming were starting to feel the strain and had to use their soul power to protect themselves from the chill.
Seeing this, Ye Wen suddenly came up with an idea: "Xiao Bai, Xie Hu, let's switch to our beast forms. We can use our water-element energy to release seawater beneath our bodies. In this extreme cold, the water will instantly freeze, and we can just slide along."
"Hey, that's a good idea! Boss, this method will work," Xiao Bai said.
The outer and inner areas of the Extreme North had a lot of flora and fauna, and the roads were difficult to navigate.
But now that they were in the core region, it was an endless expanse of ice mountains. As far as the eye could see, there was only snow and ice.
Most of the terrain was like this. By freezing the water, they could travel much further, and they didn't have to climb up, as they mostly moved forward.
"Let's go! Switch to our beast forms!"
"Roar!!!"
In the next moment, Ye Wen transformed into the massive Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Xie Hu into the Demon Whale King, and Xiao Bai into the Great White Shark King.
The three enormous sea soul beasts appeared once again in the Extreme North.
Among them, Ye Wen's Deep Sea Demon Whale King was especially huge and terrifying!
"Wow~ This is Master's true form!" The King of Slaughter had never seen Ye Wen in his true form before.
Even though he was already level 98, seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King still made the King of Slaughter feel a bit of fear.
