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

Chapter 31, Adventure in the Far North, Ends

"Back then, your grandparents encountered the Snow Demon King in the far north. The two of them, with the strength of Soul Douluo, used their Martial Soul Fusion Technique to fight him, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat."

"To buy your grandmother a chance to escape, your grandfather didn't hesitate to ignite his martial soul essence and detonate himself. In the entire continent, there is probably only one ice-type soul master like your grandmother who could still walk out of the far north alive after seeing the Snow Demon King."

At this point, the head of the Shui family instinctively clutched his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Just as the blood flew from his mouth, it instantly froze into ice.

This is a sign that the body's meridians and flesh have been damaged by ice-attribute soul power.

The support-type Soul Saint immediately treated the Water Clan Head, while the food-type Female Soul Emperor made hot milk drinks to cleanse the residual ice-attribute soul power in his body.

"I never imagined that such a terrifying ice-attribute soul beast truly existed in this world. With my level 83 soul power cultivation, although the Water Condensing Flying Phoenix is ​​no match for the Ice Phoenix, it is second only to the top among ice-attribute beast martial souls. However, even in my true martial soul form, I couldn't withstand a single roar from the Snow Demon King."

After receiving healing from the soul skill, the Water Clan Chief's breathing gradually stabilized. Looking at Xia Liang standing beside him, he said thankfully, "Young friend, thankfully you reminded us. We retreated immediately after attacking the Ice Scorpion King, which is why we escaped the Ice Scorpion King's siege. The Ice Scorpion King's siege alerted the Snow Demon King. If we hadn't escaped in time, we would probably all have died at the Snow Demon King's hands."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er, on behalf of her father, expressed her gratitude to Xia Liang, saying, "Thank you."

Xia Liang smiled and nodded.

After the other members of the Shui family expressed their gratitude, they began to discuss the matter as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Just a roar and he can severely injure an 83rd-level Soul Douluo?" A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Food-type Female Soul Emperor. "Could this Snow Demon King have 100,000 years of cultivation?"

"The dangers of the far north are no less than those of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, so it's not surprising that there are 100,000-year-old soul beasts there. This Snow Demon King might really be the king of the far north. I can't believe we actually escaped from such a monster."

"I never want to come to this godforsaken place again. Patriarch, please don't take me with you when you team up in the future. I'm still young and don't want to die."

Listening to the discussions of the Shui family members, Xia Liang also gazed at the Snow Demon King's figure in the snowstorm behind him.

Seeing that the Snow Demon King had not caught up, his tense body and mind relaxed a little.

Only those familiar with the original novel, Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, would likely know the true identity of the Snow Demon King from that scene.

Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, is a descendant of the Titan giants who were favored by the ancient Ice God. This is the true identity of the Snow Demon King.

According to the original novel, Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, although Titan Snow Demon King is a top expert in the far north, he is not the king of the far north.

The king of this far north should be the Snow Emperor, who has over 600,000 cultivation points.

Below the Snow Emperor is the Ice Emperor, and only then does the Titan Snow Demon King rank.

Xia Liang was fortunate that he only stayed in the outer area of ​​the far north and did not encounter the Snow Emperor or the Ice Emperor. Otherwise, if these two ferocious beasts with extreme ice attributes released their domain-type skills, he and the Shui family would have died here.

The fear in his heart lingered for a long time. While feeling fortunate to have escaped, Xia Liang also lamented how weak he was compared to these ferocious beasts.

This feeling of insignificance, this feeling of being crushed at any moment, is too painful.

Becoming stronger, stronger than any Soul Master or Soul Beast, is Xia Liang's only obsession now.

After half an hour of flight, the enormous Water-Condensing Flying Phoenix was still in the outer reaches of the far north, some distance from the entrance.

The support-type Soul Saint and the food-type Female Soul Emperor used their respective Soul Skills to heal the Water Clan Head who was maintaining the flight of the Water Flying Phoenix.

Xia Liang's gaze swept over the members of the Shui family one by one, and he found that all the members of the Shui family, including the head of the Shui family, were trembling.

They were actually afraid of the ice and snow outside?

Xia Liang then realized that it must be the Titan Snow Demon King who had caused great psychological trauma to the Shui family.

Ice-type Soul Masters are terrified of ice and snow, and this is the consequence of trespassing into the far north.

The term "forbidden zone for humans" is indeed not just a casual remark.

"Patriarch, how is the Ice Scorpion King?" The support-type Soul Saint seemed to have overcome his fear and suddenly asked.

"Don't worry, we only encountered the Snow Demon King after capturing the Ice Scorpion King. The Ice Scorpion King is currently sealed in a living soul tool by my soul skill. Its cultivation level should be around 1,300 years, which is just close to the absorption limit of the third soul ring."

After hearing the Shui family head's words, everyone managed a forced smile from their grim faces.

The purpose of this trip is to hunt down the Ice Scorpion King for Shui Bing'er, the number one genius of the Shui family, as her third soul ring. If she fails to kill the Ice Scorpion King, then the trip will undoubtedly be in vain.

"Even if we fly back to Shuijiabao at top speed, it will take at least ten days. The Ice Scorpion King itself possesses extremely pure and powerful ice attributes. To prevent it from breaking free of its ice seal and detonating itself, it's best to absorb it as soon as possible."

The support-type Soul Saint suggested, "Patriarch, let Bing'er absorb the Ice Scorpion King's Soul Ring once we leave the far north. Presumably, the Snow Demon King won't pursue us any further."

"Hmm." The head of the Shui family responded, maintaining the flight of the giant Water Condensation Flying Phoenix while channeling his soul power into the green sachet hanging at his waist.

He had to ensure that his ice seal could completely freeze the Ice Scorpion King, otherwise it would be all for naught if it self-destructed.

Twenty days later.

We sailed south along the sea and finally arrived at the coast of Sylvester.

The mission to hunt soul beasts in the far north has been successfully completed.

Xia Liang returned to the Shui family with the rest of the family and received his reward for completing the mission.

The big family is indeed generous; the reward for hunting a thousand-year-old soul beast as the third soul ring is as high as 30,000 gold soul coins.

In addition, the extreme danger of the far north led to a direct increase in the reward from 30,000 gold soul coins to 100,000.

After receiving his payment, Xia Liang did a deal with the Shui family involving whale glue.

Because of his merit in helping to hunt down the Ice Scorpion King, the Shui family head not only sold two rare pieces of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue to Xia Liang, but also at the lowest price.

Furthermore, the reason we were able to escape from the Snow Demon King was because of Xia Liang's reminder.

To express his sincerest gratitude, the head of the Shui family gifted the family's exclusive premium medicinal bath.

Judging from Shui Bing'er's description, this high-grade medicinal bath developed by the Shui family is similar to the Xuan Shui Dan from the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, and has the miraculous effects of cleansing the marrow and tendons, improving soul power level, and enhancing soul master talent.

It can be said that soaking in a high-grade medicinal bath for one cycle is equivalent to the wonderful effect of a Mystic Water Pill.

However, this high-grade medicinal bath can only be used once in a lifetime, and it is only effective for those below the Soul Emperor level. It will have no effect after the body has undergone a complete cleansing and marrow transformation.
