Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 6, The Soul Hunt in Progress

Meng Bei glanced at Xiao Wu strangely, then realized something and turned to leave.

Ning Rongrong could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu snatched the coat that should have been hers.

She was trembling with anger, but she couldn't say anything.

At this moment, Xiao Wu took out her coat and handed it to Ning Rongrong.

"Here, Rongrong, take this one. Wear it so you don't catch a cold."

Ning Rongrong: ...

The group continued their journey and soon passed through a town.

These are human settlements near the far north, and also Mengbei's hometown.

The group left the mad hooves in the town, replenished their supplies, and then headed straight for the far north.

The world is covered in ice and snow, and the wind is biting cold!

As far as the eye can see, there is only endless white. Standing on this icy plain, even the air you breathe turns into ice crystals.

On the map, the location of the far north is highlighted with three striking red characters: Danger, Danger, Danger!

During the journey, the master explained the target of this soul hunt to everyone.

"Our targets for this soul hunt are the snow rabbit, snow fox, and ice leopard, all of which have a thousand years of cultivation. These three are the most common soul beasts in the far north, and they are relatively compatible with Xiao Bei's snow rabbit martial soul."

"In addition," the master paused, then continued, "snow wolves are also very common soul beasts in the far north, but if you encounter them, try not to attack them first, because snow wolves are social animals, and it will be very troublesome if you provoke them."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Dai Mubai then arranged the team's positions for everyone.

He himself was at the forefront, responsible for clearing the land, Tang San brought up the rear, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Master were in the center and protected by everyone, while the others were distributed on both sides.

Following this formation, the group moved forward in an orderly fashion.

Flander, on the other hand, was in charge of overseeing the overall situation from the air, and he would not easily take action unless absolutely necessary.

The team could face various dangers at any time during their journey, so no one dared to be careless. They all summoned their martial spirits and were on high alert.

Meng Bei also possessed a martial spirit.

His martial soul is a snow rabbit. After it possesses his body, there are not many changes, except that he has a pair of snow-white ears on his head and his eyes are brighter.

Perhaps thanks to the Martial Soul Evolution Potion last night, Meng Bei immediately exuded a faint pressure the moment he completed the Martial Soul Possession. A chill suddenly surged around him, causing everyone around him to shiver.

Xiao Wu's body went limp, and she almost collapsed into Meng Bei's arms. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize her mind with her soul power in time, otherwise she might have been exposed in front of everyone.

The master's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this, and he couldn't help but ask a question as he looked at Meng Bei's condition.

"Xiao Bei, is your martial soul really the Snow Rabbit?"

Meng Bei was startled, not expecting the master to be so perceptive.

In the past, people online all commented that the master was a complete waste. Now it seems that although he was a waste, he was not completely useless. He still had some ability.

After thinking it over, Meng Bei decided to play dumb.

Faced with the master's question, he pretended to be taken aback for a moment and said:

"Ah, yes, that's what the person who awakened my martial soul said."

Upon hearing this, the master's eyes shone with wisdom, as if he had seen through everything.

He confidently said:

"No, that's not right. An ordinary Snow Rabbit Martial Soul would never have such a powerful deterrent effect. Xiao Bei, I speculate that your Martial Soul is likely a mutated Martial Soul like Ma Hongjun's, but your mutation is less pronounced, which is why it hasn't been discovered yet."

"Oh, is that so!"

Meng Bei looked like he suddenly understood.

The master was very pleased with this expression.

The master then made further deductions, such as judging from factors like the temperature drop after Meng Bei summoned his martial soul that Meng Bei's martial soul was a mutation in the ice element, which should have greatly enhanced the control of the ice element, etc.

After hearing this, everyone agreed that the master's judgment was reasonable.

Meng Bei also applauded the master, showering him with praise and making him feel quite flattered.

After the conversation, the group continued their journey through the snow.

The wind and snow howled, and the seemingly calm snowfield actually concealed hidden dangers.

No one dared to relax.

Meng Bei stood on the outside, responsible for protecting the auxiliary Soul Masters inside.

Ning Rongrong, who was being protected among the crowd, instinctively moved closer to Meng Bei's position.

She wanted to reconcile with Meng Bei. The two hadn't spoken for days, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She felt terrible and was eager to clear up the misunderstanding with Meng Bei.

However, a figure once again blocked her way, separating her from Meng Bei.

Xiao Wu winked slyly at Ning Rongrong, and said as if seeking praise:

"Rongrong, don't worry. I'll stand in front of you so you don't have to worry about Meng Bei bullying you."

"Thanks!"

Ning Rongrong was furious upon hearing this, but at this moment she could only grit her teeth and thank him.

She really wanted to get rid of Xiao Wu, this troublesome guy, right now. This guy was so annoying. But it wasn't Xiao Wu's fault. Xiao Wu was actually doing it for her own good. So in the end, she was just reaping what she sowed.

Meng Bei had been watching this scene closely.

He looked at Xiao Wu with amusement, roughly guessing her intentions. Just then, Xiao Wu inadvertently turned her head and met Meng Bei's gaze. Feeling guilty, she quickly turned her head away.

Meng Bei was immediately even more certain of his guess.

Xiao Wu is dishonest!

She says she likes Tang San, but after experiencing things with him twice, she can't bear to part with him!

Thinking this, Meng Bei simply cooperated with Xiao Wu, turned to Ning Rongrong, and pretended to be disappointed as he said:

"Sister Rongrong, don't worry. Since you hate me, I definitely won't bother you anymore."

Ning Rongrong was struck dumb upon hearing this and immediately tried to explain.

"No, that's not it, actually..."

Suddenly, Dai Mubai roared.

"Something's up, be on alert!"

But then, amidst the oncoming wind and snow, two snow arrows hidden within suddenly shot out. Fortunately, Dai Mubai spotted them in time, thus avoiding any casualties.

"White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Dai Mubai roared and used his first soul skill to enhance his defense, then shattered the incoming ice arrow with a palm strike.

On the other side, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, a purple light flashing in his eyes, and he quickly spotted the enemy's trail.

"Thirty meters to the northeast corner!"

Tang San said.

"Blue-silver entanglement!"

"Phoenix Fireline!"

Two attacks were launched one after the other, and a white creature was burned through the skull by the fire and died on the spot.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was a white mouse the size of a basketball.

"This is an Ice Rock Rat."

The master explained.

"This kind of spirit beast is best at hiding in the snow and ambushing passing creatures. It's a pity that this ice rock rat is a hundred years old. If it were a thousand-year-old ice rock rat, it could be Xiao Bei's third spirit ring."

After passing the Ice Rock Rat, the group continued on their way.

We didn't encounter any danger this time, but we didn't gain anything either.

As evening fell, everyone set up camp on the spot.

They set off again the next day.

Perhaps this time it was a stroke of luck from Lady Luck.

Soon after, the group found a set of footprints in the snow.

The master immediately squatted down, dabbed some snow in the footprints with his finger, and tasted it.

"Very good!"

The master's eyes lit up.
