196: Chapter 196 There's an Ice Silkworm Sleeping Below

"Teacher, aren't you going to make a move yet?"

Su Wen watched the battle below.

Seeing that Bibi Dong remained still, he asked in confusion.

"It is also waiting for me to make a move!"

Bibi Dong watched quietly.

This Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast showed no intention of fleeing.

It wanted to hunt down all the invading humans.

Bibi Dong knew this wasn't its territory.

A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast couldn't have a territory in the outer regions.

Therefore... it might be guarding something.

The moment she finished speaking,

the Ice Jade Scorpion charged out from the smoke of the explosion. Its carapace was cracked and bloodstained; though it seemed heavily injured, its speed was not affected in the slightest.

Its scorpion tail lashed out during its high-speed movement, sweeping dark green ice needles in all directions like raindrops.

The ice needles were triggered upon contact.

During a gap in the defense of Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others, the Ice Jade Scorpion suddenly moved toward the ice mountain.

Seeing the Ice Jade Scorpion rushing this way, Su Wen immediately understood what Bibi Dong meant.

In the Ice Jade Scorpion's eyes, it had already sensed the danger from Bibi Dong, so she would be the first one it dealt with.

The Ice Jade Scorpion had been feigning weakness, waiting for Bibi Dong to act carelessly so it could launch a fierce assault. But since she hadn't, dragging it out would only make its injuries worse. Only by killing the most dangerous one first could it slowly wear down the remaining people.

"Buzz!"

Eight great spirit rings rose beneath Bibi Dong's feet, and her Soul-Eating Spider Emperor Spirit emerged.

Black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!

With a spirit ring configuration of five black and three red, the aura of a Peak Douluo surged like a violent wind.

The Cardinal Bishops on guard nearby could not hide their shock at the sight.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's speed also noticeably slowed down a bit.

"Half Moon!"

Bibi Dong activated her Spirit Body Protection, her arms transforming into spider spears. The moment her first spirit ring lit up, she slashed out a dark green light blade shaped like a Half Moon.

As the Ice Jade Scorpion's massive front claws swung, a storm of ice-attribute energy blasted forward. When it collided with the Half Moon light blade in mid-air, an energy shockwave was instantly generated. The snow mountain cracked, and an avalanche immediately slid down the slope.

"Unrivaled Prohibition Domain!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo rushed forward, their hands overlapping.

Eighteen spirit rings circled around them.

A power of laws descended, freezing the Ice Jade Scorpion's movements.

"Sixth Spirit Skill, Eternal Wound!"

Bibi Dong suddenly lunged forward. Moving rapidly, she crossed her spider spears and slashed out a dark green cross-shaped light blade.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's body was unable to move. When the light blade cut into its body, it ignored the hard outer shell and struck heavily against the flesh.

At this moment, everyone could hear the Ice Jade Scorpion let out an extremely mournful scream.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's body was thrown down the mountain by the powerful momentum, smashing heavily into the ground. The violent impact created a deep pit in the icy ground, splashing up layers of white snow that then buried the Ice Jade Scorpion's body.

As Bibi Dong landed on the ground, the scorpion tail suddenly attacked, fast as lightning. Bibi Dong slashed her spider spears, and as they collided with the tail, a clanging sound rang out.

The Ice Jade Scorpion jumped out of the snow, its body retreating rapidly.

However, its speed was completely inferior to before. There was a bloody wound on its abdomen, with a purple-black power constantly corroding its flesh.

"As expected of a top-tier Spirit Beast like the Ice Jade Scorpion; its vitality is so tenacious."

"But..."

"This is as far as you go!"

Bibi Dong rushed forward, her spider spears clashing with the Ice Jade Scorpion in battle.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Sea Turtle Douluo moved to the Ice Jade Scorpion's perimeter, blocking its path of escape.

Under the continuous attacks of Bibi Dong and the others, the Ice Jade Scorpion was soon knocked to the ground, the surrounding snow dyed red.

"Second Soul Skill, Infinite Spear."

The spider spear light blade passed directly through the Ice Jade Scorpion's body.

As it fell, a bright red spirit ring slowly rose from its corpse.

Seeing this, the breathing of Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others quickened.

A hundred thousand year spirit ring had appeared.

The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curved up slightly. She glanced at Su Wen, then sat down to prepare to directly absorb the spirit ring.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Sea Turtle Douluo instinctively stood around her as Protectors, while also recovering their own consumed Soul Power.

The Cardinal Bishops went nearby to begin patrolling while also treating their injured comrades.

Su Wen stepped off the eagle man and landed in the valley below.

He glanced at Bibi Dong, knowing she would have no problem absorbing the spirit ring, so he went directly to the spot where the Ice Jade Scorpion had been digging a pit.

Sea Turtle Douluo followed beside him, even though there was no danger nearby for the moment.

They were not comfortable letting the Saint walk around alone.

This was the Extreme North Land, and very close to the core area; danger could appear at any time.

"Thump, thump!"

Su Wen tapped the ground. The pit dug by the Ice Jade Scorpion was very deep, about ten meters, but below there was nothing but the cold ground; he found nothing, not even a small Ice Jade Scorpion.

"It wasn't here to lay eggs or give birth to little Ice Jade Scorpions, so why dig such a deep pit?"

Su Wen looked at Sea Turtle Douluo, who also inspected the surroundings before giving an affirmation: "Saint, perhaps it was preparing to build a nest here!"

"Unlikely. Ice Jade Scorpions live in groups; even a hundred thousand year one shouldn't easily leave the main group."

Su Wen searched the surroundings carefully and called out the Ice Dragon King.

As a top-tier ice and water attribute entity, the Ice Dragon King might be able to perceive something.

As a cloud of blue mist drifted out, a pair of jade feet stepped onto the ice, and a light blue figure appeared.

The Ice Dragon King wore an ice-blue dress, revealing a bit of her snowy white calves.

Her appearance caused Sea Turtle Douluo to feel his Spirit tremble slightly for a moment.

"Husband, there is a dense ice elemental power below."

Even before she started looking, the Ice Dragon King had already sensed the difference in the surroundings.

"Ice elemental power..."

Su Wen showed joy; as expected, there was an unexpected harvest.

"Elder Sea Turtle, I'll have to trouble you to continue the Ice Jade Scorpion's work!"

"Alright!"

Sea Turtle Douluo agreed without a second thought. Although he wasn't sure who this woman who suddenly appeared was, he wouldn't refuse if the Saint said so. Blasting open the ground should be easy for him.

"That won't work. I feel it's very deep. If we really blast it all the way open, it will probably cause quite a stir!"

The Ice Dragon King suddenly suggested, "We can let Hong Dou go down and see what it is before we make a decision."

"Hong Dou!"

A cloud of red mist drifted out.

In an instant,

a woman wearing a red bridal gown appeared.

Sea Turtle Douluo rubbed his eyes.

He had heard a thing or two about the Saint's matters.

But he had never truly seen it.

The Saint called two names and two people appeared.

What kind of ability was this?

"Hong Dou, go down and take a look."

Hong Dou immediately activated her Second Soul Skill to enter an ethereal state.

In this state, she was completely like a Ghost Soul, ignoring physical objects and traveling freely, while also being immune to physical attacks for a short time.

Hong Dou floated underground. After waiting for less than fifteen minutes, she returned to the surface.

A line of bright red characters appeared before their eyes.

[Lots of ice!]

[And an Ice Silkworm Spirit Beast is sleeping!]
