The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 30 The Three Fiends of the Far North, Titan Snow Demon King

"By the way, Patriarch Shui. Scorpion-type spirit beasts live in groups and have a strong sense of territory and cooperation. If you capture an Ice Scorpion King, you might attract the swarm of scorpions, and in severe cases, even their king. For safety's sake, when you attack the Ice Scorpion King, regardless of success or failure, you must retreat immediately. Don't risk everyone's lives for a spirit ring."

After listening to Xia Liang's explanation, the Shui family head nodded seriously. "Alright, young friend, thank you for your reminder."

After spending the past few days together, he realized that this Soul Master from the Speedy Mercenary Group possessed highly professional knowledge in the field of Soul Beasts.

Therefore, when hunting spirit beasts, it's always a good idea to listen to the advice of professionals.

After discussing with everyone, the Water Clan Head arranged for two agility-type Soul Emperors to accompany him.

The rest of the people stayed behind to await orders.

Both agility-type Soul Emperors possessed water and ice attribute flying martial souls, and the Water Clan Head's Condensed Water Flying Phoenix martial soul also had flying soul skills. Led by the black and purple ghost fire, they rushed to the location of the Ice Scorpion King at the fastest flight speed.

After watching the Water Clan Head and the others disappear into the sky, the group entered the Ice Castle to await news.

Arriving at a corner inside the castle, Xia Liang habitually sat down next to Shui Bing'er and asked curiously, "Does your Shui family usually hunt sea spirit beasts?"

"Yes. However, the dangers of the ocean are no less than those of the far north. Even when my father led a team into the sea, he dared not venture into the deep waters. To hunt sea spirit beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation, it is necessary to join forces with the major water-attribute families. Therefore, compared with other elemental families, our water elemental family is the most harmonious."

After listening to Shui Bing'er's account, Xia Liang tentatively asked, "Among those many sea spirit beasts, have you ever hunted a ten-thousand-year-old whale-type spirit beast?"

Shui Bing'er didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Are you very interested in whale-type soul beasts?"

Xia Liang smiled. "To be frank, I want to obtain something called whale glue from the brain of a whale-type soul beast. You've probably heard of it, right? What are the uses of whale glue?"

Shui Bing'er's gaze towards Xia Liang became somewhat strange. Whale glue is well-known as an aphrodisiac and virility-enhancing drug.

It is likely that only those nobles who are obsessed with lust would want whale glue to enhance their bedroom pleasures.

Another situation is that some people need whale glue to relieve the backlash from their special martial souls, which causes evil thoughts to arise or excessive sexual desire.

Among the water-attribute families that cooperate with the Shui family, there are some who specialize in the business of whale glue.

"Do you need whale glue for something else?" Shui Bing'er asked tentatively.

"Besides that purpose, can whale glue have any other uses?" Xia Liang asked rhetorically.

"That makes sense." Shui Bing'er belatedly realized that it was no wonder this person always looked listless and without any vitality. Could it be that his pale and thin face was caused by eating too much whale gelatin and indulging in excessive desires?

Bang, boom.

Several loud noises were heard, and the Ice Castle suddenly shook twice.

A defensive Soul Saint led the group out of the Ice Castle, looking in the distance from where the loud noise came, and they were all shocked.

That was the direction in which the Shui family head led his men to hunt down the Ice Scorpion King.

Could it be that the Water Clan Head is currently being besieged by the Ice Scorpion King's clan?

A ball of dark purple ghost fire landed on Xia Liang's shoulder. Just as he was about to report the news, it was suddenly frozen into an ice block by a force of ice, and then shattered into powder.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Although the black and purple ghost fire itself had little defensive or combat power, judging from the series of changes just now, the icy power that could instantly destroy the ghost fire with the effect of hot drinks clearly came from some kind of powerful ice-type soul beast.

"What's going on with the patriarch?" the defensive Soul Saint asked Xia Liang anxiously.

Xia Liang shook his head. "I don't know. A powerful aura destroyed all the ghost fires sent out to search for the soul beast. The ghost fires following the Shui family head also disappeared. Judging from the commotion just now, perhaps the Shui family head encountered an attack from some powerful ice-attribute soul beast on the ice plains."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's expression changed drastically, and she stared into the distance with trembling eyes.

"Run!" A shout came from afar.

In the vast white distance, three figures flew out in succession: the head of the Shui family and two other Shui family soul masters.

"Shen Qing, Shen Yu, activate defenses immediately!"

Seemingly understanding the meaning of the Shui family head's command, the two blue-haired middle-aged men standing next to Xia Liang immediately released their martial spirits and spirit rings.

Two enormous dark blue scallop spirits appeared. The seventh spirit rings on the bodies of the two blue-haired middle-aged men lit up simultaneously. The next moment, they had already unleashed their spirit true forms, transforming into two giant scallops.

Centered on the two giant scallops, concentric circles of dark blue ripples spread outwards, forming a huge dark blue water sphere within a radius of 300 meters in an instant.

Everyone, including Xia Liang, who was standing outside the Ice Castle was protected inside a huge dark blue water sphere.

The Shui family head, who had just flown back from afar at lightning speed, and two Shui family soul masters who followed closely behind, rushed into the dark blue water sphere almost simultaneously.

At that moment, the head of the Shui family activated his seventh and eighth soul skills, and the wide-ranging cold air compressed and condensed the three-hundred-meter-long dark blue water sphere into a fifty-meter-long Water Flying Phoenix.

Two giant scallops, transformed from two middle-aged men with blue hair, served as the left and right pillars, with the Shui family patriarch positioned between them, using his soul power to control the giant condensed water phoenix as it flew through the air.

Although the Water Flying Phoenix's exterior is covered by a thick layer of ice, when viewed from the inside out, it remains a semi-transparent water sphere, allowing a clear view of the outside world.

At this moment, the enormous Water-Condensing Flying Phoenix was flying towards the entrance to the far north, already far from the vicinity of the Ice Castle.

Roar--

A deafening roar unleashed a raging blizzard, and a white giant, over a hundred meters tall, descended from the sky, crushing the ice castle into dust.

As the enormous Water Phoenix flew away from its attack range, the white giant roared madly to the sky, and the rolling sound waves instantly turned the surrounding icebergs and boulders into dust.

Upon hearing the deafening roar, everyone hiding inside the Water Condensation Flying Phoenix turned around almost simultaneously and saw the blurry giant figure in the blizzard.

"It's the Snow Demon King!"

While piloting the enormous Water Phoenix, the Water Clan Head said in a trembling voice, "I never expected that our trip would alarm the King hidden in the core area of ​​the far north. I'm afraid that any Soul Master who ventures into the far north in the future will surely not return."

"Father, what exactly is the Snow Demon King?" Shui Bing'er asked, seeing her father's fearful expression for the first time.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. Your grandparents once ventured deep into the far north and witnessed a humanoid spirit beast far larger than any deep-sea spirit beast. That humanoid spirit beast was as tall as the heavens and the earth, like an ancient giant. Due to the blizzard, we couldn't see its appearance clearly. Your grandmother called it the Snow Demon King."
