I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.
Chapter 97: Huo Yuhao's Journey to the Far North
While Xu Xingyu was enjoying his beautiful love story at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Huo Yuhao, the male protagonist of the original novel, was having a much harder time.
He was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and slowly moving forward in the icy and snowy weather.
It was a world of heavy snowfall and biting north winds. Gray clouds covered the entire sky, as if brewing a heavy snowfall, preparing for the coming blizzard.
This is the far north of the three major gathering places of soul beasts in Douluo Continent. It is the northernmost region of the entire Douluo Continent and is also known as the harshest and coldest region.
In this harsh environment, only powerful ice-attribute soul beasts dare to build their own homes in such a place. Other soul beasts would have long since frozen to death because they could not withstand the extreme cold of the far north, except for those soul beasts with strength of 100,000 years.
Therefore, this far north is, in a sense, a paradise exclusively for ice-attribute soul beasts, and also the most undisturbed gathering place for soul beasts by humans.
This is mainly due to its inherent environment and the fact that it only provides ice-attribute soul beasts, which means that only soul masters who need ice-attribute soul beasts will venture into the far north, but they will avoid venturing in if they can avoid it.
After all, who would want to stay in such a cold hell and freeze into an icicle?
The reason Huo Yuhao came to this far north place out of boredom was mainly to awaken his second martial soul.
When Huo Yuhao absorbed the million-soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he was also endowed with a soulless ice-attribute martial soul by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
This martial soul itself symbolizes the ice attribute possessed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, after all, it is a soul beast with both spiritual and ice attributes.
If Huo Yuhao wants to fully awaken this soulless martial soul, he must give it a soul. The way to do that is to hunt down an ice-attribute soul beast and absorb its corresponding soul ring.
Huo Yuhao originally thought that coming to the far north would be as simple as hunting a powerful soul beast, but the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm kept him traveling through the snow.
What made Huo Yuhao somewhat devastated was that, according to the markings on the map, if they continued to follow this route, their final destination would be the core area of the far north!
That place is a gathering place for 100,000-year-old soul beasts! It's simply not something that a soul master like him, who has just reached level 20 and hasn't even obtained his second ring, can handle!
At first, Huo Yuhao thought they would stop halfway down this road, but they haven't stopped yet. Are they really going to venture into the core of the far north and hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao specifically asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the others if their destination was the core area of the far north, and to his surprise, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm actually said yes!
He knew very well how much exaggeration there was in the title of the million-year-old soul beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, since its age was all due to sleeping and eating.
In terms of combat power, even a powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beast could kill the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Taking Huo Yuhao, a level 20 Soul Master, to hunt 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts—isn't that just courting death?
Moreover, don't forget that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm only has half of its original essence, which makes Huo Yuhao even less confident about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's plan.
Faced with Huo Yuhao's doubts, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm patted its chest and said, "Little Yuhao, don't worry! As a million-year-old soul beast, I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Although I have lost my original body, it is precisely because I have lost my original body that I can use some methods that I dared not use in my previous life."
"With this method, forcibly sealing a 100,000-year-old soul beast for you to kill is no problem at all. So you don't need to worry about anything."
Just then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly shouted, "Yuhao, lie down quickly!"
After saying that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm covered Huo Yuhao's body with ice and snow and used its mental power to firmly suppress Huo Yuhao's aura.
A giant foot stepped on the spot where Huo Yuhao had just been standing, and a humanoid soul beast, at least 120 meters tall, suddenly appeared.
It has long arms, long snow-white hair all over its body, and bluish-gray skin. If it weren't for its two huge fangs, people who didn't know it would think it was a giant.
What's even more peculiar is that the soul beast was wearing something resembling a half-body armor. If a soul master could observe that half-body armor up close, they would surely exclaim in surprise that this half-body armor has actually reached the realm of a level nine soul tool!
It's important to know that soul tools are something unique to humans. Soul beasts, due to their laziness and lack of creativity, simply won't create items like soul tools unless there are specific circumstances.
Even when making weapons for themselves, they usually use a part of their own body or a part of a powerful enemy they have killed to make the weapon.
It can be said to be a very primitive manufacturing method, and only a 100,000-year-old soul beast with intelligence equal to that of humans can make it.
This shows that soul beasts are not particularly good at creation.
Now, a soul beast is actually wearing a soul tool. What does this mean?
At this moment, the giant standing on Huo Yuhao was holding a large metal object and scratching his head, saying, "Is this detector broken? It was just showing that there were outsiders here. Is it broken? I guess I'll have to talk to the Spirit Tower about it."
After saying this, the giant left the spot and headed towards the location of the core area of the far north.
Not long after the giant left, Huo Yuhao finally crawled out of the snow, panting heavily. He had never been so close to death.
If it weren't for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reminding him in time and protecting his body with his soul power, he would have been trampled to death by that giant and become Yuhao-chan!
At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with a solemn expression, "I didn't expect that guy to appear here. He was clearly still some distance from the core circle, so how could he appear here?"
Huo Yuhao asked with a curious look, "Brother Tianmeng, do you know what that soul beast was?"
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm put on glasses that appeared out of nowhere and began to explain: "In the far north, there are three Heavenly Kings, each with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation. It can be said that even among soul beasts, they are absolute powerhouses."
"And that one just now was the Titan Snow Demon King, ranked third among the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, with a cultivation period of about 200,000 years. In addition to possessing the ultimate ice attribute, he also possesses the spiritual attribute."
"I just don't know why he suddenly appeared in this place. Usually, the three Heavenly Kings of the far north stay in the core area and rarely go out to patrol in places like this."
Thinking of this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm thought of the half-body armor on Titan Snow Demon King's body and the large metal box in his hand. Those were not things that soul beasts could make; they must have been soul tools made by humans.
Why would the Titan Snow Demon King possess a soul tool? Has something major happened in the far north these past few years? I hope Bingbing is alright, otherwise the chances of my god-making plan succeeding will drop by 30%.
Most importantly, the romance I've always longed for will also be ruined.
