62: Directly enter the core area of the Far North
“Scott, you and Naer stay here and wait for us to return. Take good care of her; there must be no mishaps!” Ye Wen earnestly instructed.
“Yes, Master!”
Scott obeyed the command, staying behind to look after Naer.
“Na... Can Naer not go with you?” Naer seemed a little reluctant.
Xiao Bai said very gently, “No, Naer, the Extreme North Land is dangerous and very cold. You won't be able to bear it there. Wait for us to come back, okay!”
“Alright...”
“Let's go, set off for the Extreme North Land!” Ye Wen called for everyone to depart.
Slaughter King, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, Da Ming, and Er Ming all followed in Ye Wen's footsteps, approaching the Extreme North Land.
They advanced quickly, and in less than two hours, they had reached the edge of the Extreme North Land.
“This is the Extreme North Land,” Ye Wen said.
Before their eyes were colossal icebergs, connected one after another, stretching as far as the eye could see, a truly magnificent sight.
A group of powerful Spirit Beasts not belonging to the Extreme North Land thus charged into it.
In the outer region, there were many human Spirit Masters from the north who hunted Spirit Beasts for a living.
However, they almost dared to approach only the very edge of the inner region; once they ventured deeper into the inner region, the extreme cold there was more than what an ordinary human Spirit Master's body could withstand.
At that point, if they encountered a powerful ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, they would most likely die.
Therefore, the danger level of the Extreme North Land's inner region was roughly equivalent to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
To avoid being seen by human Spirit Masters, everyone advanced in human form through the icy landscape until they reached the inner region, where they finally stopped.
“Alright! Da Ming, Er Ming, you two can switch to Spirit Beast forms first!”
“Yes, Boss!”
“Roar!!!”
Da Ming and Er Ming quickly reverted to their colossal Azure Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape forms.
Slaughter King flew in the sky, while Ye Wen rode on Da Ming's head. Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai sat on Er Ming's left and right shoulders, respectively.
The Soul Power emanating from Da Ming and Er Ming warmed the human-shaped bodies of Ye Wen and the other two.
Sea Soul Beasts find it difficult to walk on land, and their semi-human forms also have time limits, so Ye Wen and the other two did not switch forms temporarily, instead riding on Da Ming and Er Ming.
The group of Beasts thus fiercely charged towards the core region of the Extreme North Land.
Bang bang bang!
When Er Ming started running, the entire icy landscape seemed to shake with each step.
Along the way, all the Spirit Beasts living in the ice and snow were terrified when they saw the colossal and fearsome figures of Da Ming and Er Ming.
They fled in all directions!
Some Spirit Beasts that had reached the ten-thousand-year level or above were even more terrified, as ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts already possessed intelligence, allowing them to feel the immense power of Da Ming and Er Ming more clearly.
While terrified, they were also bewildered and shocked.
What kind of Spirit Beasts are these?!
Why have we never seen this type before?!
Are they Spirit Beasts from our region?
Many ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts had already sensed that Da Ming and Er Ming did not seem to be native Spirit Beasts of the Extreme North Land.
Spirit Beasts from the forest and Spirit Beasts from the ice and snow land actually have very distinct differences; they could feel it!
At this moment, two fearless Ice Bears, with cultivation around fifty thousand years, attempted to provoke Da Ming and Er Ming, or rather, to drive away the foreign Spirit Beasts.
They directly launched an attack.
“Roar!!!”
The two fifty-thousand-year Ice Bears roared simultaneously and pounced forward.
“Leave it to me!!”
“Mere two fifty-thousand-year Spirit Beasts dare to block my Titan Giant Ape!”
“Overestimating yourselves!”
“Roar!!!!”
The Titan Giant Ape roared like a wild Beast.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
It then swung its arms, wildly pounding its chest with its fists. This is a common action for primates like apes, gorillas, and monkeys.
After pounding its chest, the two fifty-thousand-year Ice Bears had already reached the Titan Giant Ape.
It slammed its fists hard onto the ground.
Bang!
A terrifying force of gravity instantly pinned the two fifty-thousand-year Ice Bears to the ground.
This was the Titan Giant Ape's Gravity Domain!
“Roar!”
The Titan Giant Ape roared, its massive body leaping up. Like a colossal behemoth, it descended with the force of Mount Tai, its two fists striking directly downwards, slamming violently onto the two fifty-thousand-year Ice Bears.
“Roar!!”
The two fifty-thousand-year Ice Bears cried out in agony, their cries quickly fading as they were directly knocked unconscious by the Titan Giant Ape.
“Heh heh, Er Ming, you don't know how to go easy. You almost hammered them to death,” Ye Wen chuckled.
“Sorry, Boss, I overestimated the Spirit Beasts of the ice and snow. I'll be more careful next time,” the Titan Giant Ape said apologetically, retracting its strength.
“It's fine. Let's go, continue onward.”
“Yes!”
The Beasts set off again. To avoid delaying progress, Slaughter King took the lead in clearing the path from then on.
He knocked down every Spirit Beast that appeared.
Because they were all Spirit Beasts, members of the Beast Clan, and there was no conflict of interest or enmity, Ye Wen and his group did not casually take the lives of these Spirit Beasts, merely knocking them down or rendering them unconscious.
As they gradually reached the edge of the core, the Spirit Beasts they encountered became increasingly stronger.
At the same time, the temperature dropped lower and lower, almost reaching the extreme cold of ultimate ice.
Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai, even under the protection of Da Ming and Er Ming's Soul Power, found it difficult to endure such cold.
Even Da Ming and Er Ming were struggling a bit and needed to use their Soul Power to protect themselves and resist the cold.
Seeing this, Ye Wen suddenly thought of a plan: “Xiao Bai, Evil Tiger, let's switch to our Spirit Beast forms. We can release seawater from beneath our bodies using water element energy. The water will instantly freeze into ice in this extreme ice environment, and we can just slide along.”
“Oh, you're right! Boss, that method could work.”
In the Extreme North Land, the outer and inner regions actually have many flowers, plants, and trees, making the path difficult to traverse.
But now that they had reached the core region, it was almost entirely endless icy mountain hills. Looking around, besides ice and snow, it seemed like nothing else could be seen.
Most of the terrain was like this. By using the method of water freezing, they could slide a great distance at once, and they weren't constantly climbing uphill; most of the time, they were moving forward.
“Come on! Switch to Spirit Beast forms!!!”
“Roar!!!!”
The next second, Ye Wen transformed back into the colossal Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Evil Tiger became the Evil Tiger Demon Whale King, and Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.
The massive forms of the three great Sea Soul Beasts reappeared in this Extreme North Land.
In the middle, Ye Wen's Deep Sea Demon Whale King form was particularly enormous and terrifying!
“Hiss~ This is Master's true form!” It was the first time Slaughter King had seen Ye Wen in his Deep Sea Demon Whale King form.
Even with his power already at level 98, seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he couldn't help but feel a hint of dread in his heart.
