Chapter 400: Into the Extreme North, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Armored Crocodile
"Big sister, what a pity! If only the Frostbite Winter Wolf King were still here! Its cultivation was around a few thousand years, perfect for you."
"Unfortunately, after your breakthrough, it fled. If we had hunted it down, you could have absorbed its soul ring and directly advanced to the Soul King level."
After Shui Bing'er's breakthrough, Shui Yue'er walked over and, glancing at where the Frostbite Winter Wolf King had been, spoke with a tone of regret.
"There's no need to regret," Shui Bing'er responded, shaking her head with a gentle, beautiful smile. "We came to the Extreme North to capture that soul beast called the Snow Emperor, didn't we? Even if I've broken through to Soul King, I must save this soul ring spot for the Snow Emperor. I'll form a contract with it then."
Lin Yu, who overheard, couldn't help but smile.
"Didn't I tell you before? The soul contract you make with a soul beast will reflect your strengths and advantages. Cultivation, of course, is part of that too."
"If your cultivation is on par with the soul beast's, then its cultivation won't be transferred to you. But the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor you want to contract with, they are both soul beasts with tens of thousands of years of cultivation, comparable to Title Douluo."
"By forming a contract with them, their cultivation will undoubtedly be reflected in yours, and it will be easy to increase your cultivation by a large realm."
"However, of course, you can also use that cultivation to increase the age of your soul rings. The choice will be up to you."
"Can cultivation really be reflected?" Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were both shocked when they heard Lin Yu's words.
For a moment, they deeply realized the power of the Soul Master system's soul contracts.
…
After the Frostbite Winter Wolf pack's attack, from the night until the next day, the camp experienced no further soul beast attacks.
The reason for this was simple.
Previously, Lin Yu hadn't displayed his Title Douluo-level soul power pressure because Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were with him. This allowed the Frostbite Winter Wolf pack to approach.
However, after Lin Yu released his Title Douluo-level soul power pressure, not even a pack of Frostbite Winter Wolves led by thousand-year beasts dared approach his camp!
The next day, Lin Yu hunted a few snow rabbits, roasted them over the campfire, and the three of them ate breakfast before continuing their journey deeper into the Extreme North.
According to the map Lin Yu had purchased from Extreme North City, the snow pine forest they were currently traversing was only the outskirts of the Extreme North.
However, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, whom they were searching for, both resided in the center of the Extreme North, and they were two of the three kings of the region.
Given the size of the Extreme North, which was no smaller than the Star Dou Forest, and its harsh environment, traveling and navigating were very difficult. Finding the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor would not be an easy task.
After all, Lin Yu wasn't like Huo Yuhao from Douluo II, who carried a million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to lure in the Ice Emperor.
After a day of traveling, the three finally crossed the endless snow-covered mountains and forests, reaching a snowfield with almost no plants. According to the map Lin Yu had purchased, they had now entered the inner regions of the Extreme North.
However, even though they had reached the interior of the Extreme North, the situation was still far from optimistic.
The snowfield before them stretched endlessly, with no color other than white, except for the towering snow-capped mountains, which could barely serve as a point of reference. Since the mountains were also white, it was easy to get lost, and without careful navigation, one could easily freeze to death in the endless snow.
Luckily, Lin Yu had practiced the Qinglian Visualization technique, giving him extraordinary mental power and memory. Coupled with his Heavenly Eyes Martial Soul's long-range vision, he could easily distinguish the differences between the snow mountains and ensure they didn't get lost.
The three of them wore snowshoes with large flatboards, walking slowly through the boundless snowfield. Although the surroundings seemed safe, the danger was hidden beneath the thick snow.
At this point in the Extreme North, the snow was dozens of meters thick, and many soul beasts could hide beneath the snow, waiting to ambush anyone passing by.
Since Lin Yu was not here to hunt soul beasts but to negotiate with the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, he hoped to avoid killing soul beasts in the region. This was why, during the previous battle with the Frostbite Winter Wolf King, Shui Bing'er could have easily killed the beast with her Bone Dragon Claw but chose to leave deep wounds instead.
However, even though Lin Yu had used his mental power to scan the surroundings and avoid the soul beasts hiding under the snow, some soul beasts still chose to attack.
A giant Ice Armored Crocodile suddenly erupted from beneath the snow, roaring as it charged toward the three, opening its massive maw to strike.
Lin Yu couldn't tolerate this and instantly moved, appearing behind the beast. He grabbed the Ice Armored Crocodile's tail and, with a powerful pull, sent the beast flying, slamming it onto the snow with a loud thud.
"Boom!"
