The Giant Pincer Ice Crab was wrapped up by strands of dark blue Blue Silver Grass, lifted into the air. Its two tiny crab eyes looked confused, not understanding what was happening.
It had just swatted away a small Ice Jade Scorpion! How did it end up in the hands of humans? And two human children, no less! Why were there even two human children in the extreme north!
And these two children weren't even afraid of it! It was the little boy's left arm, transformed into snake-like Blue Silver Grass, that sneakily wrapped around it, binding it tightly!
The other little girl came to its side and picked up the small Ice Jade Scorpion, holding it in her hand like a pet.
"Wow, what a cute little scorpion! And so pretty! It seems to be the legendary Ice Jade Scorpion, but why is it so small? Like it just hatched."
Yan Qingwan held the little Ice Jade Scorpion in her palm, carefully observing it. The small Ice Jade Scorpion seemed to have no strength, and it didn't move in Yan Qingwan's hand, like a finely carved little toy.
Ming Tian's arm, transformed into Blue Silver Grass, was binding the Giant Pincer Ice Crab. The Giant Pincer Ice Crab was struggling, trying to break the dark Blue Silver Grass that bound it.
He used the left arm bone skill because he didn't want to make too much noise. After all, they were secretly infiltrating the core area, and it would be bad if they were discovered.
The left arm bone skill was perfect, saving soul power and being suitable for sneak attacks.
The Giant Pincer Ice Crab was still waving its two pincers, hitting the dark Blue Silver Grass. The dark Blue Silver Grass actually froze on the surface.
Seeing his attempt succeed, the Giant Pincer Ice Crab was determined to break the icy dark Blue Silver Grass.
"This won't do, you're our food."
Ming Tian said, and with a forceful tug, the dark Blue Silver Grass binding the Giant Pincer Ice Crab tightened further. The Giant Pincer Ice Crab foamed at the mouth, obviously suffocating. The ice on the dark Blue Silver Grass shattered. Soon, this Giant Pincer Ice Crab, with about seven hundred years of cultivation, was strangled to death by Ming Tian.
A yellow soul ring emerged from the white Giant Pincer Ice Crab. Ming Tian switched his Three-Tailed Evil Scorpion Martial Soul, attracting the Giant Pincer Ice Crab's soul ring to absorb it. Soon, his original Three-Tailed Evil Scorpion Martial Soul had one more soul ring. And the white Giant Pincer Ice Crab was absorbed into Ming Tian's body. Because the soul ring was added to another martial soul, and the same as when he obtained the Three-Tailed Evil Scorpion Martial Soul, Ming Tian felt that after he got this Giant Pincer Ice Crab martial soul, a soul ring automatically formed as the initial skill.
Yan Qingwan looked at Ming Tian and asked:
"Brother Ming Tian, you have another martial soul. What's the new soul skill?"
"The Three-Tailed Evil Scorpion's second soul skill, Icy Scorpion Venom. The ice attribute of the Giant Pincer Ice Crab is sent into the Three-Tailed Evil Scorpion Martial Soul, merged with the Three-Tailed Evil Scorpion's venom, and can spew out icy scorpion venom fog."
"The Giant Pincer Ice Crab's first soul skill, Giant Pincer Ice Touch, anything the pincers touch will be frozen."
Ming Tian said, feeling the skills the Giant Pincer Ice Crab brought to him.
This was also the first time he had obtained an ice-attribute martial soul, and it even gave his original Three-Tailed Scorpion Martial Soul a hint of ice attribute.
"Right, Xiao Wan, I've figured out how we can cross the Blood Sea Gully!"
"Hmm? What way?"
"We just need to fly across."
"But we can't fly. We don't have..."
"Ah! You mean..."
"A flying ice-attribute soul beast! As long as I hunt a flying ice-attribute soul beast, I can have its flying ability!"
Ming Tian thought, looking at the sky.
"Snow Griffons! You said just now that Snow Griffons often appear here, feeding on fish and shrimp that surface. So..."
"We just need to wait, or set up a bait, and wait for the Snow Griffon to appear, then hunt it!"
Ming Tian nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's act quickly. Right, the little scorpion seems very weak. Let's get it some food to eat."
"Here, the Giant Pincer Ice Crab's body is for you. Use your martial soul to roast some crab meat for it to try."
Ming Tian gave the Giant Pincer Ice Crab to Yan Qingwan and walked to the icy shore, watching the ice sea.
The left arm bone skill activated, and dark Blue Silver Grass directly extended into the cold sea. The dark Blue Silver Grass kept going down, and Ming Tian sensed through the dark Blue Silver Grass. The length had reached a thousand meters.
A large red shrimp happened to be swimming in the deep sea a thousand meters away. It wasn't a soul beast, so it tried to avoid encountering soul beasts.
It didn't expect that a strand of Blue Silver Grass was extending infinitely downward from the surface of the sea, almost reaching its head.
"It feels like there's something big."
The dark Blue Silver Grass extending from Ming Tian's left arm sensed something. Without a word, it extended and bound the big thing.
"Pull!"
The Red Jade Shrimp, which was drifting, was startled. It felt like it was bound by something. Was it a sea snake? Or that deep-sea overlord, the Ghost Horn Sea Demon Vine?
As it felt afraid, it sensed that it was rapidly rising to the surface. Before it could react, it was pulled out of the sea.
"Wow! A big red shrimp!"
Yan Qingwan, who was feeding crab meat to the Ice Jade Scorpion in her hand, opened her eyes wide, looking at the Red Jade Shrimp that was fished out.
"Red Jade Shrimp! This is the Red Jade Shrimp of the Blood Sea Gully! Not a soul beast, but highly nutritious!"
Ming Tian said excitedly, looking at the Red Jade Shrimp he had bound.
"I didn't expect Blue Silver Grass to have this function, directly extending into the seabed to fish for shrimp!"
"It's a natural fishing rod. In the future, put some bait and food into the water, and as soon as something bites, immediately retrieve the Blue Silver Grass!"
Ming Tian thought, that's a good idea.
"Brother Ming Tian! I want to eat shrimp!"
Yan Qingwan called out.
"Be good, Xiao Wan, you can't eat this. We'll use it to lure the Snow Griffon. It's definitely a good bait."
Ming Tian smiled.
The dark Blue Silver Grass bound the Red Jade Shrimp tightly and threw it on the icy shore. Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan quickly hid, waiting for the Snow Griffon to take the bait.
Snow Griffons have very good eyesight and flying ability. Even at an altitude of a thousand meters, they can see creatures on the ground.
It was pure white, with yellow eyes, sharp teeth and beak, and extremely fast flight speed.
There are no clouds in the sky of the extreme north, and flying soul beasts are rare.
A thousand-year-old Snow Griffon was flying high in the sky. It spread its feathered wings, and a pair of sharp eyes looked down.
It was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the fish and shrimp that surface, and then swoop down!
Sometimes it could see sea snakes in the ice sea, but sea snakes are generally poisonous. Here in the Blood Sea Gully, there is a overlord, a hundred-thousand-year-old Ghost Horn Sea Demon Vine.
It was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast cultivated in the deep sea, formed from the Ghost Horn Vine deep in the seaweed.
During a volcanic eruption in the seabed, magma erupted, bringing rich minerals to the algae soul beasts. The Ghost Horn Vine also benefited and devoured the surrounding seaweed, evolving into the Ghost Horn Sea Demon Vine. Later, it ate all kinds of soul beasts, until it reached the hundred-thousand-year level.
It was the overlord of this ecosystem.
The Snow Griffon, with its good eyesight, soon discovered its prey, but it was a little strange.
Why was there a red shrimp on the long icy shore? And it was somewhat similar to the Red Jade Shrimp?
Get closer and take a look...
