Looking at the ancient snow wolf in front of her, Qingmu felt not fear at all, but rather a sense of joy.
After months of leveling up, Qingmu's level has now reached 69, just one step away from the 70-level bottleneck.
His purpose in coming to this frozen forest was not simply to level up, but more importantly, to obtain his seventh spirit ring.
The seventh spirit ring differs from other spirit rings in that it places the most emphasis on its age; the older the age, the stronger the power of the spirit body it bestows.
Compared to the age limit, attributes should be considered later, as long as there is no attribute conflict that prevents absorption.
In this situation, Qingmu naturally thought of a soul beast, namely the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which is nearly a million years old.
Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is of advanced age, its combat strength is extremely weak. Judging from its performance after breaking through a million years and discovering a qualitative change, it was only able to contend with a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. The current Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is definitely no match for Qing Mu.
Considering the fact that the seventh spirit ring's age is king, the 990,000-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is naturally the most suitable seventh spirit ring for Qing Mu.
After a series of crackling sounds, the Ten Thousand Year Snow Wolf, its face bruised and swollen, collapsed to the ground, whimpering in submission.
Qing Mu abandoned a grassy field and looked toward the far north, whispering, "According to Dou Er's description, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is very likely still in the far north. If we can find him, I will obtain an unimaginable seventh soul skill."
Qingmu's reasoning was that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm traveled from the ocean to the land, but it did not know about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Therefore, it was very likely that it was after the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died. After all, it couldn't have been just good luck that it was not discovered, right?
However, what Qing Mu didn't know was that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was indeed extremely lucky.
The number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the ocean is many times greater than that on land. Any one of them could easily take his life. However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm managed to reach the land smoothly even while he was emanating an aura that was as irresistible to soul beasts as Tang Sanzang's flesh. If this isn't good luck, then I don't know what good luck really is.
Although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was captured and subjected to ten thousand years of torture in the Star Dou Great Forest due to his recklessness, this may not necessarily be a bad thing for him.
After all, ten thousand years later, he met Huo Yuhao, the chosen one of destiny in Douluo Continent, here. In the end, he not only followed him to ascend to the God Realm and obtain eternal life, but also got his wish and got together with Bingdi. Isn't this also a manifestation of luck?
Anyway, soul beasts like him are born to be eaten. His clansmen are eaten and killed by soul beasts every ten or twenty years, but he only started to be eaten after nine hundred and ninety thousand years. He is already very lucky.
"Even if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is still in the far north, it should still be sleeping under the ice. I wonder if I can find it?" Qing Mu thought to himself.
"Da na, da na~" (Quickly, tell me, where are there any even more powerful soul beasts!)
Just as Qing Mu was pondering the location of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Ivysaur pressed the ten-thousand-year-old snow wolf for answers.
Upon hearing Ivysaur's words, the eternal snow wolf immediately stood up and responded with howls.
According to the rules of wolf-type spirit beasts, since Ivysaur and Qingmu have already defeated it and are not killing it, they are, in a sense, its boss. As the boss of the underlings, they should answer any questions the underlings have.
At the same time, the ten-thousand-year-old snow wolf was also a little excited. Ivysaur was asking about the information of the soul beast. Could it be that it wanted to take him to conquer a larger territory?
"Awoo~"
Thinking of this, the snow wolf's tail wagged even more merrily, and it couldn't help but let out a long howl.
*Smack!*
Just as the Snow Wolf was feeling excited, Ivysaur lashed its head with a vine whip, signaling it to be quiet. What are you howling about?
"Aww~"
After being reprimanded, the Eternal Snow Wolf was somewhat disappointed, but fortunately, after its body was almost healed, it led Ivysaur and Qingmu deeper into the forest.
Several days later, Qingmu and Ivysaur stood before the King of the Forest.
To Qingmu's surprise, the king of this frozen forest was merely a 70,000-year-old extreme cold ice bird. Although it was quite powerful, it couldn't even force Ivysaur to evolve in front of Ivysaur, which was immune to ice-type attacks.
Qing Mu frowned slightly: "In such a large forest, the strongest being is only this strong?"
Seemingly noticing Qing Mu's confusion, the eternal snow wolf, now transformed into a white husky, began to explain to Qing Mu.
It turns out that this frozen forest was just an outpost in the far north; most of the powerful soul beasts had gone to the far north.
Although the weather in the far north is much colder, it is a more suitable training environment for powerful ice-attribute soul beasts.
Most importantly, food is not as scarce as one might imagine in the far north, because there is a type of ice silkworm with an extremely high reproductive capacity that can serve as food.
At this point, the ten-thousand-year-old snow wolf was practically drooling. It had heard that the ice silkworms were extremely delicious, and that everyone from the lowest-level soul beasts to the Ice Jade Scorpion and Titan Demon Ape loved to eat them.
"I see. It seems that if we want to find stronger soul beasts, we have to go to the far north."
Qing Mu nodded. After awakening his superpower, he was able to ignore the language barrier and interpret the meaning of the target from their mind. Therefore, understanding the words of this ten-thousand-year-old snow wolf was naturally not a problem.
"Awoo~" (Is Big Brother's Big Brother going to the far north?)
The eternal snow wolf looked at Qing Mu with a somewhat intelligent gaze and asked.
Qing Mu looked at the ancient snow wolf in front of him, which resembled a husky, nodded, and used telepathy to ask, "Would you like to come with us to the far north?"
"Awoo~"
Upon hearing this, the eternal snow wolf looked at Ivysaur, then at Qing Mu, and agreed without hesitation.
The Snow Wolf of Ten Thousand Years is not very wise; he only knows that following his elder brother means he will get meat to eat, and he will go wherever his elder brother goes!
Seeing this, Qing Mu smiled slightly. This ten-thousand-year-old snow wolf was quite interesting. When he left this far north, it might grant him all the opportunities he needed.
After ravaging the extreme cold bird for several more days, Qingmu and Ivysaur rode on the Millennium Snow Wolf and continued northward, speeding towards the far north, a forbidden zone for humans.
After a day's journey, Qingmu and the others arrived at the edge of the far north, where the weather was getting colder and colder.
But this is nothing to either Qingmu or Ivysaur, because they are now, in a sense, also members of the Ice type.
