Douluo: Join Tang San, and I will accept Xiao Wu!

Chapter 38, Fourth Soul Ring

As the 5000-year soul ring rewarded by the system increased in age, Meng Bei's fourth soul ring began to transform from dark purple to deep black, and new soul skills slowly emerged in his mind.

Frost ice armor!

The power of ice and snow is condensed to form a layer of ice armor on the body, which has powerful defensive capabilities. As long as the ice armor is not directly penetrated, the damage it suffers can be restored by consuming soul power.

Meng Bei was very satisfied with the soul skill he obtained. The powerful defensive soul skill "Frost Ice Armor" successfully made up for his shortcomings.

His first three spirit skills are all related to attack. With the addition of his second spirit, the Heaven-Measureing Ruler, as his trump card, he has no weaknesses in attack at this stage. At this time, a powerful defensive spirit skill will be a huge improvement for him.

Just think about it, when the enemy thought he was a mage and tried their best to rush to the back row to attack him, what would happen if he used a shield thicker than a warrior's?

The enemy’s despair is probably written all over their faces!
Meng Bei is very much looking forward to this.

"Okay, now it's time to save Aunt Erlong!"

Meng Bei brushed off the snowflakes on his body, stood up and walked outside.

Tang Hao hurriedly followed.

Ten thousand years of ice abyss.

This is a naturally formed ice cellar, hundreds of meters deep, surrounded by solid ice that has been there for thousands of years, with only a small exit at the top.

And now, this only exit has been blocked by Tang Hao using an iceberg brought from somewhere else.

At this moment, Liu Erlong curled up in a corner of the ice cave, hugging her body.

The endless and intense coldness invaded her from all around. Even though she was a powerful Soul Saint, she could not resist this coldness continuously.

Liu Erlong's hair was frozen by frost, and the air she exhaled turned into ice crystals in an instant. Although she took out more than a dozen pieces of clothing from her soul guide and put them on, it was still useless. Not long after these clothes were taken out, they were assimilated by the surrounding cold current and frozen into dry and hard pieces of cloth.

She could only try her best to reduce her body's consumption, preserve the little soul power in her body, and maintain her body temperature bit by bit.

The body temperature was temporarily maintained, but the soul power was consumed bit by bit.

She tried to open the exit blocked by Tang Hao above, but it was totally unfeasible except for wasting her soul power.

"Xiao Gang, I'm afraid I'll never see you again..."

Liu Erlong gradually fell into despair.

She regretted so much that she didn't listen to Meng Bei's advice.

She was too arrogant and did not take the thief seriously, so she fell into the thief's trap and was thrown into the cold abyss. Now she was afraid that she had no chance to get out.

And Xiaobei...

I'm afraid that the thief will not spare Xiaobei when he returns.

She was the one who implicated the child.

Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes shed silent tears, and as soon as the tears fell, they instantly froze into ice.

Suddenly, there seemed to be movement at the exit above.

"You'll all freeze to death here together!"

An arrogant voice was heard, and then a gap was opened in the exit, a figure was thrown down, and then the gap was quickly closed again.

"Plop", the figure fell right in front of Liu Erlong.

"Xiao Bei!"

Liu Erlong said in surprise.

Meng Bei stood up and rubbed his head.

Falling from a height of hundreds of meters was not easy even with the protection of ice armor.

After the trance, Meng Bei saw Liu Erlong in front of him, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Aunt Erlong, you are here!" "I saw that you hadn't come back, so I went to look for you right after absorbing the spirit ring. I didn't expect to be ambushed by a man in black robes on the way. He threw me in here. I didn't expect you to be here too!"

Meng Bei briefly explained the reason why he was thrown in.

After hearing this, Liu Erlong lowered her head in shame and said self-reproachfully:
"I'm sorry, Xiaobei, I didn't listen to you and got you into trouble."

Meng Bei shook his head.

"Don't say that, Aunt Erlong. You fell into danger just to help me hunt for spirit rings. How can I blame you? A-choo!"

As he spoke, Meng Bei sneezed.

It can be said that it is worthy of being called the Ten Thousand Years Cold Abyss. The air around it is extremely cold. Even though his martial soul has extremely strong resistance to the cold, he can't help but feel a chill at this moment.

“It’s so cold!”

Meng Bei sighed and imitated Liu Erlong, hugging his legs and curling up in a corner.

In his opinion, the environment here is like the feeling of an ordinary person wearing short sleeves being blown by the wind in late autumn. This kind of cold is not strong, but it will still make you feel uncomfortable if it continues.

However, after Meng Bei used his martial soul to possess his body, the chill on his body instantly disappeared. On the contrary, he felt his martial soul leaping for joy. His cultivation speed in this place was even twice as fast as before.

However, Liu Erlong's condition at this time was completely different. Compared with Meng Bei, her soul power cultivation speed here not only did not increase, but was greatly reduced, and even could not keep up with the speed of her soul power consumption.

She was not aware of Meng Bei's situation. Seeing Meng Bei meditating at this time, she kindly reminded Meng Bei to save his soul power and not let it be consumed too quickly.

In this way, a day passed quietly.

Since Meng Bei's storage soul guide was snatched away by the man in black robe, Meng Bei ate Liu Erlong's food.

The two discussed how to get out, but in the end neither of them could think of a good solution.

Two more days passed like this.

Meng Bei's condition hardly changed, but Liu Erlong's condition became much worse.

The two of them knocked on the surrounding ice walls, trying to find a weak spot in the ice, but unfortunately they went around in circles and gained nothing except wasting their energy.

The light in Liu Erlong's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Self-rescue seems to have become impossible. The only chance now is for someone to discover their whereabouts and rescue them.

Meng Bei speculated that if he didn't go back for two months, Ning Rongrong would probably realize that something was wrong and would ask the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to send someone to find them. Then they would have a chance to be rescued.

Two months...

Liu Erlong was speechless.

How did she last two months?

It's a miracle that she can hold on for half a month now.

Another three days passed,

Meng Bei's cultivation level increased rapidly. After absorbing the fourth soul ring, his cultivation level rose to level 43, and now he is charging towards level 44.

Liu Erlong's condition became worse.

In the past, she would use the power of her martial soul to emit a cluster of flames to illuminate and distinguish between day and night.

Now, perhaps because of excessive consumption, she extinguished the flame.

The cold abyss fell into a long darkness.

Three more days passed.

The food Liu Erlong brought with her was running out.

As a Soul Saint, she did not carry too much food, because high-level soul masters like her have little demand for food when their soul power is abundant. However, she never expected that she would fall into such a desperate situation now.
