Chapter 30: Ice Phantom Fox
As they got closer to the cave, Huo Yuhao quickened his pace.

Finally, he saw the cave hidden in the mountain wall. The entrance was not big, but it was large enough for two people to pass through. Huo Yuhao walked quickly into the cave, gently placed Qian Renxue on the ground, and began to examine her injuries.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's voice sounded again: "Yuhao, go back down. I will use my soul power to set up a barrier outside the cave."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao slowly turned around, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then invisible waves spread outward from the cave. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, one could feel that the surrounding air seemed to become sticky.

Outside the cave, the soul beasts that were originally running towards this side suddenly seemed to have hit an invisible wall. They stopped and roared angrily.

They kept trying and ramming into the barrier with their bodies, but the barrier was as solid as a rock. No matter how hard they tried, they could not move forward. Gradually, the soul beasts realized that they could not break through and could only leave unwillingly. The forest returned to silence again.

After the spirit beasts had completely departed, Huo Yuhao finally had time to observe the beautiful blonde up close. He studied her carefully, a wave of astonishment welling up in his heart. Even though Qian Renxue was now covered in blood and in a state of disarray, her delicate features were still captivatingly beautiful.

His eyes swept across Qian Renxue's delicate face, and Huo Yuhao slowly lowered his gaze, frowning slightly. He saw five terrifying claw marks on her chest below her jade neck, with blood staining her clothes blood red.

"Teacher, how could she...how could she be injured so badly?" Huo Yuhao asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible trace of concern in his voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's voice rang out in his mind, with a hint of teasing: "This is not your concern. Think about how to help her heal her injuries first. Her injuries are very serious and need to be treated as soon as possible. Help her take off her coat first, then apply the hemostatic powder. Move quickly."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face instantly flushed red, like a ripe tomato. His hands began to tremble unconsciously, and he stammered, "Teacher, this... this is not good."

"It's already late, stop fussing, saving people is the most important thing!" Xiao Yan urged impatiently, "You're just a kid, what are you afraid of?"

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao tried to calm himself down. He slowly stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, and gently pinched the corner of Qian Renxue's shirt.

Huo Yuhao was very careful with every move he made, fearing that he would hurt her while she was unconscious.

When his fingers touched Qian Renxue's skin, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. After finally taking off his coat, revealing Qian Renxue's shoulders and back covered with wounds, Huo Yuhao came to his senses and quickly took out the hemostatic powder that Xiao Yan had previously refined from his arms and gently sprinkled it on her wounds.

After applying the medicine, Qian Renxue was still unconscious, lying quietly on the ground in the cave. Her weak breathing was particularly clear in the silent cave.

"Teacher, she's still not awake. What should we do next?" Huo Yuhao sat aside, his eyes filled with worry, and asked Xiao Yan in his mind again in a low voice.

"Let her rest here alone for now. Her injuries need time to heal. Let's go out first. There might be a spirit beast with spiritual attributes that suits you in this forest. Your current strength is not enough. You must quickly absorb the spirit ring and see if you can break through."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a little conflicted. He was worried about Qian Renxue's safety, but he also understood that what Xiao Yan said made sense and that improving his strength was urgent. He immediately looked at the unconscious Qian Renxue, hesitated for a moment, stood up, and whispered, "Teacher, let's go and come back quickly. I hope she will be better when she wakes up." A few minutes later, Huo Yuhao left the cave and stepped into the mixed area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest again. There were towering ancient trees all around, and the sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The air was filled with a damp smell, mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass.

In the distance, the roar of distant soul beasts can be heard from time to time, making this forest even more mysterious and dangerous.

Through Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes, Xiao Yan's soul power spread out in all directions like an invisible net, carefully searching every corner, trying to find the soul beast with spiritual attributes that suited Huo Yuhao.

As he went deeper, the atmosphere in the forest became more complex, and traces of various strange plants and soul beasts kept coming into view, but none of them were what he was looking for.

Finally, near a pond not far away, Xiao Yan saw the spiritual soul beast he was looking for - the Ice Fantasy Fox. This soul beast was not big in size, and was covered with snow-white fur. Every hair was shining with a faint blue light, as if it was carved out of ice crystals.

Its ears are pointed and stand upright, with ice-blue light flashing on the edges of the ears. Its nine tails are like nine nimble ice snakes dancing constantly. Each tail is inlaid with a crystal clear blue gem, emitting powerful mental fluctuations.

The aftermath of the previous battle seemed to have caused it severe damage. It was now dying, with its nine tails drooping limply on the snow. The blue light on its body became faint, and there were several scorch marks on its fur caused by energy impact.

"Yuhao, there is a seriously injured spiritual soul beast near the frozen pool about 300 meters in front of you on the left. You should go there quickly, as this is a rare opportunity!" Xiao Yan's anxious voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly sharpened, and without hesitation, he dashed forward to the left. His footsteps were light and swift, moving through the dense forest with a rustling sound. The surrounding trees quickly retreated, and the wind whistled past his ears.

As he gradually approached his destination, the temperature of the air dropped sharply and the breath he exhaled instantly turned into white mist.

Ahead, a silver-white world appeared faintly.

Huo Yuhao took a closer look and saw that it was the frozen pool. The surface of the pool was covered with a thick layer of ice, which gleamed with a cold light under the sunlight. And beside a huge rock at the edge of the pool, curled up a snow-white soul beast. It was the Ice Fantasy Fox.

Huo Yuhao approached cautiously. The Ice Fox, sensing someone approaching, weakly raised its head, a flicker of alarm in its dark blue eyes. Its nine tails drooped limply to the ground, the blue light emanating from its body so faint it was barely perceptible. Several jarring scars adorned its fur, evidently the aftermath of the previous battle.

"Teacher, isn't this soul beast a thousand-year-old soul beast? I've read in the books about soul beasts in the Spirit Hall that a soul master's first soul ring is often no more than four hundred years old. If I hunt this soul beast, will I be unable to absorb its soul ring?"
