"The aura of an ice silkworm?"
Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was slightly taken aback, and then replied somewhat apologetically, "I have never sensed the aura of the Ice Silkworm, so I cannot distinguish it. However, there are probably four extremely strong auras, which should all be from soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old."
Is that so?
Hearing this, Qing Mu was somewhat disappointed, but this was within her expectations, so her disappointment quickly dissipated.
After all, he didn't expect to find the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm easily, and the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow seemed to have the effect of concealing its aura, otherwise why didn't the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suffer the heavenly tribulation of other ferocious beasts?
Given that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's 990,000 years of lifespan was only equivalent to the combat power of a 10,000-year-old soul beast, if any heavenly tribulation were to find him, he would die under the heavenly tribulation.
Of course, it's also possible that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was too weak and isolated by the thick ice layer, preventing the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass from sensing its presence.
"Awooo!!!"
At this moment, the ancient snow wolf beneath Qingmu suddenly began to howl in a low voice.
Seeing this, Qing Mu looked ahead and saw a huge, snow-white tiger slowly emerging from the raging wind and snow. Its proud posture showed the majesty of the king of beasts.
However, Qing Mu's expression turned somewhat strange upon seeing the snow-white tiger.
He was initially puzzled as to why neither he nor Ivysaur had received any warning, but if it was this thing, then it made no difference.
"Awoo~"
The Snow Wolf watched the white tiger in front of it warily, because judging from the size of the white tiger and the aura emanating from it, it was far beyond its ability to fight.
In the past, if he encountered a soul beast of this level, he would have turned and run away immediately. But now, with his two older brothers backing him up, he stopped running away.
The snow-white tiger opposite him, upon seeing that the mere ten-thousand-year-old snow wolf had not fled, showed a hint of doubt on its face. But for some reason, it did not step forward, and the two remained frozen in place for a moment.
"Snow Wolf, you go up there, he can't beat you!"
Just as the snow wolf was warily watching the snow-white tiger opposite him, Qing Mu's voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
The other side can't beat me?
The Snow Wolf was straightforward, and upon hearing his elder brother's words, he immediately charged towards the snow-white tiger.
Of course, the most important thing is that he now has two powerful backers, so even if he can't win, nothing unexpected will happen.
Upon seeing this, a look of panic appeared on the face of the snow-white tiger, and its aura suddenly became even more terrifying. The imposing presence of the king of beasts was perfectly embodied in it.
Even so, it still couldn't stop the eternal snow wolf from charging towards it.
In the blink of an eye, the snow wolf pounced on the huge white tiger.
But the next moment, the Snow Wolf blinked in bewilderment. Before him, the majestic and imposing giant white tiger was gone, replaced by a two-meter-long white fleshy worm.
This large insect was pure white, and under the light it had a crystal-clear texture. It twisted and struggled under the claws of the ancient snow wolf, seemingly trying to break free.
"Awoo?" (What is this? Where did the big tiger go?)
After scratching at the large fleshy worm under its paws, the eternal snow wolf asked with some confusion.
Seeing the eternal snow wolf's puzzled expression, Qing Mu smiled and patted Ivysaur, letting him answer the snow wolf's question.
"Da na da na, da na..." (Idiot, this is the ice silkworm you've been drooling over, how come you don't recognize it now that it's right in front of you?)
Seeing how stupid his new little brother was, Ivysaur rubbed his forehead with his Vine Whip, making a helpless expression.
"Awooo!!!"
Upon hearing Ivysaur's explanation, the Eternal Snow Wolf's eyes lit up. Looking at the Ice Silkworm under its paws, it licked its lips.
Is this the legendary ice silkworm? It looks delicious!
Apart from a thin outer skin that offers almost no defense, the Ice Silkworm's interior is entirely composed of plump, semi-solid energy polymers, making it a delicious treat for these soul beasts of the far north.
However, the eternal snow wolf suppressed its excitement about eating and turned to look at Qingmu and Ivysaur on its back.
After all, the two of them are the bosses now, and he is just a subordinate. How can he eat first if the bosses haven't spoken?
Qing Mu smiled and waved his hand at the actions of the eternal snow wolf, while Ivysaur also shook its head, indicating that it would not eat such a thing.
Seeing this, the snow wolf no longer had any scruples. It killed the ice silkworm under its claws with a kick and then began to feast on it.
While eating, the eternal snow wolf thought to himself, "It's so good to follow my big brother. I can eat things that I never dared to dream of before."
While the snow wolf was eating, Qing Mu began talking to the eight-cornered ice grass again.
"The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, that's the Ice Silkworm Soul Beast I mentioned. Compare it to the auras you sensed; are there any similar ones?"
"No, those four powerful auras are completely different from the ice silkworm in front of us."
When the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass answered, it did so almost without hesitation, which was clearly quite inconsistent.
Qingmu nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, then Bajiao, keep an eye out. If you encounter any similar powerful auras, please let me and Ivysaur know."
"Okay, I'll be careful."
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass immediately agreed.
Since it was the first time the snow wolf had tasted such delicious food, it ate very quickly, and in just a short while the thousand-year-old snow silkworm disappeared into the vast snowfield.
After the snow wolf finished eating, Qingmu and the others continued their journey, heading straight for the deeper parts of the far north.
Because only there is it possible to encounter the soul beast that Qingmu wants to meet.
The speed of the snow wolf was not slow. In just half a day, the surrounding cold became so intense that even Qing Mu could hardly bear it.
Although using soul power could resist the cold, in order to maintain full combat strength, Qing Mu still killed a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, skinned it, and made two pieces of clothing, which he and Ivysaur wore.
"No wonder this place is still a forbidden zone for humans even in Dou Er. Although it's not the coldest place yet, the temperature must be close to minus 100 degrees Celsius, right?"
Qing Mu's entire body was basically wrapped in clothes made by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, with only his eyes and nose exposed. However, these exposed areas were also covered with a layer of ice, which Qing Mu had to shake off from time to time with his soul power to avoid affecting his vision.
"Be careful, a very powerful aura is approaching this way, it's one of those four auras."
Suddenly, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Qingmu stood up, using his soul power to melt the snow covering his body. He then patted Ivysaur and said, "Ivysaur, it's our turn to make a move!"
