"Tsk, so noisy!"
The Ice Empress couldn't stand anyone baring their teeth at her, so she immediately released a fierce cold aura from her body.
Her control over her power was incredibly precise.
The Goblins nearby only felt a cold wind brush their faces.
As for the Ya Lang Clan further away, they instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, shivering uncontrollably.
Looking at the grassland outside the circle, it was covered in a layer of ice crystals in an instant, and even the three clowns observing from the shadows felt a chill run through their bodies.
"Such terrifying ice magic power."
Laplace was shocked internally.
He had encountered ice magic before.
But such powerful and penetrating ice magic power was truly unheard of.
"Hiss~~ So cold!"
Tia hugged herself tightly: "The quality of this magic essence is too high, isn't it?"
"Unique Skill, this must be a Unique Skill!"
If it were a normal skill, given their resistance, it would be impossible for it to affect them.
As for Extra Skills, single-target ones might be able to break through their defenses.
But this was clearly a wide-range skill, and it had such intensity even without targeting the three of them.
Such an effect, besides a Unique Skill, the three of them couldn't think of a second possibility.
"Another named monster that has acquired a Unique Skill."
Laplace couldn't comprehend it, unable to understand how Bai Luo had gathered so many powerful monsters to pledge allegiance to him.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, the Snow Empress, who was watching Bai Luo converse with the Goblin village chief from a distance, seemed to sense something.
She cast her gaze towards the forest behind them.
The forest was shrouded in darkness, utterly silent, yet the Snow Empress could feel several gazes prying at her.
"Is something wrong, Snow Empress?"
Bai Luo was currently inviting the Goblins to follow him, and seeing the Snow Empress's reaction, he immediately became vigilant.
"Not sure."
The Snow Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "But I have a feeling that someone is watching me."
"Watching..."
Bai Luo's heart stirred, and he thought of a possibility: 'Could it be the Moderate Clown Troupe?'
[Detect Tracking]
Immediately, Bai Luo activated an anti-surveillance skill.
[Alert: No one detected watching]
"..."
Bai Luo looked at the information returned by the skill, feeling a bit speechless.
He didn't believe that the Snow Empress was mistaken.
'In the Jura Great Forest, an existence that can secretly spy on us, and even the Snow Empress can't detect...'
Such individuals, besides Toreni and other Tree Elves, could only be Laplace, Footman, and Tia of the Moderate Clown Troupe.
The Tree Elves didn't need to be considered.
After Bai Luo's arrival, Toreni had already appeared among the Goblin tribe.
And if it were other Tree Elves, seeing Toreni here, they would definitely come over to greet her, not hide in a corner and secretly stare at them.
"Toreni, can you set up a barrier that can completely block external probing?"
Bai Luo and the Snow Empress didn't have sufficient anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
Sakurako's barrier was more physical in nature.
It wasn't very effective against skills specifically designed for intelligence gathering.
But it didn't matter.
They still had Toreni!
As a Tree Elf, secretly observing life in the forest and concealing one's aura were commonplace.
And if one could conceal, one could also block.
"No problem!"
Toreni didn't notice at first, but only reacted when Bai Luo said so.
The Tree Elf Miss first began to probe the distant forest.
Unfortunately, there was no result; clearly, the three clowns had realized they might be exposed and had already left.
"Buzz~~"
Soon, under Toreni's doing, an invisible barrier enveloped the Goblins and Bai Luo's group.
"Kouen, bring the Ya Lang Leader to me."
"Understood!"
Upon receiving the order, Kouen's eyes sharpened.
His figure instantly traversed hundreds of meters, arriving in front of the Ya Lang Leader.
Before the Ya Lang Leader could react, Kouen directly grabbed the scruff of its neck, lifted it, and brought it to Bai Luo's side.
"Woof woof woof~"
The Ya Lang Leader had never experienced such a thing.
It wanted to resist, but facing Kouen's monstrous strength, it couldn't even lift its head.
It could only let out whimpers from its throat, suppressing the fear and unease in its heart.
"My Lord, the enemy general has been brought. Please give your command!"
Kouen knelt on one knee, while simultaneously pressing down on the Ya Lang Leader's head with one hand, forcing it to submit.
"Hmm, release it first."
"Yes!"
Kouen and the others weren't worried that the Ya Lang Leader would harm Bai Luo.
How could a mere monster below B-rank possibly touch their Lord?
Especially not under their watchful eyes.
If such a thing were to happen, they wouldn't have the face to live in this world and would simply commit suicide.
"Wolf, or dog?"
"It should be a wolf."
The Ice Empress crouched on the ground, examining the prostrate Ya Lang Leader, and poked its nose with her finger.
"Woof..."
The Ya Lang Leader was utterly terrified and uneasy.
Although the Ice Empress's magic essence was only around 30,000,
the aura of a 400,000-year-old fierce beast had been preserved through the rule power of the world's voice.
In layman's terms, it was killing intent!
The Ice Empress had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and countless humans, beasts, and Soul Beasts had died by her hand.
With such a vast number accumulated, the tyrannical aura entwined around the Ice Empress was far beyond what ordinary monsters of this world could imagine.
Normally, the Ice Empress would restrain her aura.
So, in the eyes of the Ogre Clan, the Ice Empress was just an tsundere twin-tailed girl, not only not terrifying but quite cute.
However, the Ya Lang Leader was different.
It was a wild beast, and a wild beast's instincts were always incredibly keen.
It sensed it.
That terrifying figure of an ancient fierce beast, standing atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood...
"Stay down obediently. Once my Lord is done, I'll deal with you!"
How could the Ya Lang Leader dare to bare its teeth at the Ice Empress? It immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that it would never resist.
There was no other way; the disparity was too great.
It had thought that four Ogres were the limit.
Who would have thought that there were even more powerful experts!
Especially this monster with a human appearance in front of it; it was truly too terrifying.
And even more terrifying was that such a monster actually had a master above her!
This was too much!
The Ya Lang Leader really wanted to cry right now.
If there was a regret pill in the world, it would definitely go back to its past self from a few hours ago and slap it hard a few times, telling it to stop dreaming of becoming a dominant force.
The waters of the Jura Great Forest are too deep; it simply cannot grasp them!
