Chapter 188: Bingbi Emperor Scorpion
After resting in the city for a while, Lu Yuan planned to go deep into the Far North to find his target this time, the Three Kings of the Far North.
This is also because there is nothing exotic in the extreme north that can be seen, if it is like Hanhai City, it is extremely interesting customs, Lu Yuan doesn't mind taking Ning Rongrong and the others to play for an extra day or two.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuan casually explained to Xiao En, and then set off with Ning Rongrong and the others towards the north of the Extreme North City, the real Extreme North region.
They came to the far north of the city, and further north, there was a large expanse of emptiness, and in this vast void, a lone plaque stood there, with a line of small notes on it.
"The Far North, forbidden to humans. The temperature is extremely low, and there are unknown soul beasts infested, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous! ”
The last three hazards are all marked in red.
However, it seems that the person who erected this plaque felt that the terrible low temperature in the far north would kill human beings.
As for those unknown soul beasts in the extreme north, they were not so dangerous.
After all, this was the Douluo Continent 10,000 years ago, and the human beings in this era still had an extremely poor understanding of the Extreme North.
And no one should think that in this extremely bitter cold place, there will be any powerful soul beasts.
In fact, in the Extremely Cold Land, although there may be few types of creatures living here, they can still give birth to powerful creatures!
"Next, I will use the domain to protect everyone and make everyone feel better." Lu Yuan said.
In the outer areas of the Far North, they all have a low temperature of minus forty degrees, and if they go deeper, how much the temperature will drop, even Lu Yuan can't be sure.
So it's best to be prepared and be careful.
"Hmm." Ning Rongrong and the others nodded.
"Realm of the Night!" The realm like the arrival of darkness directly enveloped Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong, Lu Qingqing, Yan Zhuyin and Dugu Yan.
At the same time, Ning Rongrong and the others could feel that the howling cold wind was blocked by the domain.
Although the night realm could not warm them, it helped them resist the cold wind that could take away the temperature of their bodies, and with a little operation of their soul power, they could feel the warmth of their whole body.
"Xiong Jun, Red King, Zi Ji." Lu Yuan shouted softly at this time.
The next moment, three rays of light poured out from his body, dark gold, crimson, and deep purple.
Xiong Jun, Red King, and Zi Ji appeared in front of Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan said, "Please go to the front to investigate the situation, we will follow you closely, and tell me directly at any time if there is any situation." ”
The Far North is not like a normal snowfield, it seems to be forever whistling with wind and snow, and it seems to have no intention of stopping.
This also greatly reduces the visibility and difficulty of traveling in front of the Far North, which is one of the important reasons why people in this era have a rather poor understanding of the Far North.
On the other hand, the extremely low temperature in the far north can also take human life at any time, this low temperature is not a joke, it can really freeze people to death!
Naturally, no one wants to explore the uncharted land of the Far North.
But the fierce beasts that have become souls can ignore this low temperature.
Unless the low temperature in the extreme north can reach the absolute zero that even time and space can freeze like Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, then of course even the soul and energy can be frozen.
"Understood." The three fierce beasts nodded, and then immediately proceeded in three directions to investigate the situation in the snow-covered area ahead.
"Let's go too." Lu Yuan said.
Suddenly, the group went directly into the far north, and the cold wind whistled incessantly, freezing the land.
Under the protection of Lu Yuan's dark night realm, the cold wind could no longer be a threat, but the gradual appearance of ice and snow still restricted their speed.
It's just that everyone is a soul master with extremely high cultivation, and with a slight shock, the ice and snow under their feet will scatter.
And the three fierce beasts have been exploring the way for Lu Yuan and the others in front, avoiding many terrains that may have accidents, such as frozen ice lakes, or rift valleys that are obscured by ice and snow.
What I didn't expect was that the terrain of the far north, which looked like a flat land, was so complicated.
And although these terrains are not dangerous for powerful soul masters like Lu Yuan, it is still not good that some accidents have delayed their trip.
However, to Lu Yuan's surprise, for a day in a row, they had almost penetrated five hundred miles into the extreme north, but they had never seen any trace of the soul beast.
"Brother, is there really a soul beast here?" Lu Qingqing asked depressedly again.
Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sure there are soul beasts, but this extreme northern land is indeed barren enough, and there are no soul beasts in the basic peripheral areas......"
He grinned helplessly, this extreme northern land is so barren, no wonder the soul masters of this era don't think that there are soul beasts in the extreme north.
But he, a traverser, was very sure that there were powerful soul beasts living in this extreme northern land that could adapt to this extremely low temperature.
After a day passed, Lu Yuan decided to find a place to hide from the wind and snow, camp in place, rest for a while, and then rush the next day.
However, just as they were camping, an uninvited guest appeared.
Behind a half-hillside, Lu Qingqing suddenly exclaimed, "What is this??" ”
Lu Yuan and the others were startled, and hurriedly came over to her side to take a look, only to find that where she had pushed off the accumulated ice and snow, white bulging insects rolled out.
It looks like a silkworm, with a round head, looks like flesh, and has a body size that is big enough for a person to hug, and its length is about more than one meter.
The most important thing is that the whole body of this giant silkworm is white jade, crystal clear, the halo under the epidermis is flowing, and there is a pair of small golden eyes on the head, which looks very cute.
And it continued to squirm towards its original position, like an otaku who wanted to return to its bed.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately chuckled lightly and said, "Qingqing, look, isn't this the soul beast in the Extreme North that you have been thinking about?" ”
"Lu Yuan, you said this guy is ...... Soul beasts? Dugu Yan blinked and said.
"It's a little cute......" After Lu Qingqing knew that this was a soul beast at this time, she even tried Rua~ This snow-white giant silkworm.
I have to say that the feel is also excellent to the touch, but the body temperature of this giant silkworm is too low, as low as the temperature in the extreme north.
Lu Yuan smiled and continued, "That's right, this guy is indeed a soul beast, a soul beast unique to the Extreme North, named Ice Silkworm. ”
That's right, this giant silkworm should be the soul beast of the same race as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm of the peerless Tang Sect period-Ice Silkworm.
Zi Ji and Brigitte also suddenly transformed into human forms at this time, and looked curiously at the Extreme North Soul Beast they had seen for the first time in front of them.
"This Ice Silkworm is born with a dual cultivation soul beast of spiritual attribute and ice attribute, but its own combat power is seriously affected by speed, and its cultivation speed is very slow, only a few Ice Silkworms can cultivate for more than a thousand years, but because they have a lot of them, plus they have no combat power. Therefore, in the extreme north, it should be the bottom of the food chain, and it is a very important food source for other soul beasts. Lu Yuan said.
The positioning of this ice silkworm is quite similar to the seals in the previous life, they are all cute, but they are actually the bottom of the entire polar food chain, slow moving, low combat effectiveness, but the reproduction rate is fast, and the best outcome is to be hunted and eaten by various carnivores.
"It's so pitiful......" Lu Qingqing suddenly looked at the ice silkworm in front of her with pity.
"But they are quite capable of sleeping soul beasts, if they have enough food or accumulate enough energy, they can sleep for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years." Lu Yuan said.
"Huh? Really? Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment and asked.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Of course what I said is true. ”
He is still conservative when he says this, like a million-year-old soul beast Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which has really slept for a million years before waking up.
The 10,000-year-old cold marrow only gave the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm enough energy to sleep, but it couldn't speed up the cultivation and improvement speed of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, so Brother Tianmeng really slept for a million years before waking up.
It's just that he doesn't know where Brother Tianmeng sleeps, otherwise Lu Yuan feels that with Brother Tianmeng's self-knowledge, coupled with his strong strength and the existence of the soul contract.
Brother Tianmeng should be very happy to become his soul, that is, if he may wake up Brother Tianmeng too early, Brother Tianmeng may still be stuck in 990,000 years of cultivation, and he has not really become a million-year soul beast.
"Alright, let's move it somewhere and let it continue sleeping, and let's continue camping." Lu Yuan shook his head and said.
"Okay." Lu Qingqing immediately helped the ice silkworm move to another place, and specially helped it pile up thick ice and snow so that it could continue to sleep well.
Lu Yuan and the others began to prepare food, and after eating, except for Lu Yuan, everyone spent the night with the strength of cultivating souls.
The next day, they packed up their camp and continued their march into the depths of the Far North.
And on this day, they finally encountered a lot of soul beasts in the Far North, including huge ice bears with snow-white bodies, ice wolves hunting in groups, and even geese walking upright.
Lu Yuan was very surprised, he didn't expect that there were "penguins" in this other world.
In the end, when they had penetrated nearly 1,300 miles into the extreme north, they finally encountered the type of soul beast that Lu Yuan wanted to encounter!
"Finally found it!" Lu Yuan looked at a strange soul beast that appeared in front of him, his eyes shot fiercely, and he said excitedly.
And after everyone saw the soul beast that appeared in front of them, they exclaimed, what a beautiful soul beast.
That's right, it's beauty, it's different from the cuteness of the ice silkworm, the characteristic of this soul beast is beauty.
It was a scorpion, a very beautiful scorpion.
Does the scorpion have anything to do with the word beauty?
Even Dugu Yan, who grew up with his grandfather Dugu Bo's poisons, would not have felt that the scorpion was beautiful before that.
But now she overturned her previous thoughts at this moment, because the scorpion soul beast in front of her was so beautiful!
This scorpion soul beast has two colors on its body, one is the color of ice, and the other is turquoise.
The front of its body was stacked in four layers, each slightly longer than half a foot, and its head was on the top layer, and its silvery-white mouthparts shimmered with a faint cold light. The front half of the body is covered with a special kind of scales.
No, it should be a bulge to be exact.
They are hexagonal shapes, shimmering with brilliant brilliance, like diamond-like protrusions.
These bulges were dense on the front half of its body and the six long, slender legs.
Illuminated by the glow of the snow, it exudes an incomparable brilliance.
It was as if at this moment it had become a source of light, and thousands of brilliance were refracted from it.
Although this scorpion soul beast was no more than half a meter tall, its body length was a full one meter long, and that shiny scorpion tail could be two meters long when unfolded.
"The Ice Scorpion Clan has finally found it." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
There is no doubt that this is the Ice Emperor's clansman, the Ice Scorpion, but the cultivation of this Ice Scorpion is a little low, and this breath is probably only five or six thousand years of cultivation.
Lu Yuan and the others didn't alarm it, and when they reached the cultivation of Lu Yuan and the others, coupled with Lu Yuan's shadow power to cover their aura and body shape effect, they could discover their breath, and I am afraid that only a powerful soul beast like the Ice Emperor could find it.
It's just that Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea in his heart at this time, and he directly and quietly released some powerful aura, enveloping this thousand-year-old ice scorpion.
The ice scorpion felt this powerful aura at this moment, and immediately panicked to the extreme, following its instinct and immediately running backwards.
However, Lu Yuan didn't directly grab the ice scorpion, but said, "Let's go, let's follow." ”
There is no doubt that he wants to follow this Ice Scorpion, find the Ice Scorpion clan, and then find the Ice Emperor, the Ice Emperor Scorpion!
"Okay." Ning Rongrong and the others immediately followed Lu Yuan.
In this way, Lu Yuan followed this ice scorpion, and Ning Rongrong and the others followed Lu Yuan, moving forward quickly.
The ice scorpion ran for about half an hour, and finally came to a snow-covered mountain.
And here, hundreds of powerful ice scorpions are here, either eating food, or swallowing the ice attribute free soul power to improve their cultivation, or ...... Complete the major task of multiplying the Race.
There is no doubt that this is the place where the Ice Scorpion clan gathers!
At this time, Lu Yuan and the others also saw that in the cave in the valley, there was an incomparably huge ice scorpion!
This huge ice scorpion is about 1.5 meters long.
And if the ordinary ice scorpion is a beautiful soul beast, then this huge ice scorpion in front of you is extremely beautiful!
Both of her front chelae were a meter long, and the front chela were also covered with the bizarre hexagonal protrusions like diamonds, except for the front clips and mouthparts, which were as shiny as mirrors and silvery-white.
What caught everyone's attention the most was its eyes.
Its eyes are yellow, as if they were set with two yellow diamonds, and they are also hexagonal.
The crystal yellow light flickered, and it was actually a feeling of treasure shining.
If its upper body is bright enough, then the back of its body, the long, upturned tail, is the core of all the dazzling.
Different from the bony joints of the long tail of ordinary scorpions, there are only five knots on the long tail of the Ice Emperor, each of which is an attractive turquoise, the turquoise is shining, it is full of life, the color of the five knots is the same, the one closest to the upper body is the widest, and the further back it is, the narrower it is.
At the position of the last section, the tail hook, which also has diamond particles, is held high, and the tip of the hook is also a silver-white mirror luster.
How could such a soul beast that was as brilliant as a jewel not be worthy of the word extremely beautiful?
And to describe it as beautiful is a bit pale.
"Found ......" Lu Yuan stared at the giant ice scorpion in front of him, revealing a satisfied look, "Ice Emperor...... Bingbi Emperor Scorpion! (End of chapter)
