Chapter 697 Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion

After resting for a day in the city, Lu Yuan planned to go deep into the Far North to find his goal this time - the Three Kings of the Far North.

This is also because there are no exotic customs to see in the far north. If it were extremely interesting customs like Hanhai City, Lu Yuan would not mind taking Ning Rongrong and others to visit for an extra day or two.

Early the next morning, Lu Yuan had a casual conversation with Xiao En, and then set off with Ning Rongrong and others towards the north of the Far North City - the real Far North area.

They arrived outside the city of the Far North. Further north, there was a vast expanse of open space, and in this endless blank space, a solitary plaque stood there with a line of small text annotations on it.

"The far north is a restricted area for humans. The temperature is extremely low, and there are unknown soul beasts. It's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!"

The last three dangers are marked in red letters.

But it seems that the person who erected this plaque felt that the extremely low temperatures in the Far North would kill humans.

As for the unknown soul beasts in the far north, they are not that dangerous.

After all, this was the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, and humans in this era still had extremely little knowledge of the Far North.

And no one should think that there would be any powerful soul beast in this extremely cold place.

In fact, in extremely cold places, although the types of creatures living here may be very few, they can still breed powerful creatures!

"Next, I will use my domain to protect everyone and make everyone feel better." Lu Yuan said.

In the outer areas of the Far North, the temperature is as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius. Even Lu Yuan is not sure how low the temperature will drop if they go deeper.

So it’s best to be fully prepared and proceed with caution.

"Yes." Ning Rongrong and others nodded.

"Night Realm!" The realm, as if darkness had fallen, directly enveloped Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong, Lu Qingqing, Yan Zhuyin and Dugu Yan.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong and others could feel that the howling cold wind was blocked by the domain.

Although the realm of night could not warm them, it helped them resist the cold wind that could take away their body surface temperature. Coupled with the slightest movement of their soul power, they could feel warm all over their bodies.

"Xiong Jun, Red King, Zi Ji." Lu Yuan shouted softly at this time.

The next moment, three rays of light emerged from his body, dark gold, crimson and deep purple.

Xiong Jun, Chi Wang and Zi Ji appeared in front of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan said, "Please go to the front to investigate the situation. We will follow you closely. If there is any situation, please inform me directly at any time."

The Far North is different from ordinary snow. It seems that the wind and snow are howling forever, and there seems to be no intention of stopping.

This also greatly reduces the visibility and difficulty of traveling in front of the Far North. This is one of the important reasons why people in this era have very little knowledge of the Far North.

On the other hand, the extremely low temperatures in the far north can take away human lives at any time. This low temperature is no joke, it can really freeze people to death!

Naturally, no one wants to explore the unknown land of the Far North.

But the ferocious beasts that have become souls can ignore this low temperature.

Unless the low temperature in the far north can reach absolute zero that can freeze time and space like Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, then of course even souls and energy can be frozen.

"Understood." The three ferocious beasts nodded, and then immediately moved towards the ice-covered area ahead in three directions to investigate the situation.

"Let's set off too," Lu Yuan said.

Suddenly, the group of people went directly deep into the far north. The cold wind howled non-stop and covered the land with ice.

Under the protection of Lu Yuan's night realm, the biting cold wind was no longer a threat, but the gradually appearing ice and snow still restricted their speed.

However, everyone was a very high-level soul master, and even with a slight shock, the ice and snow under their feet scattered in all directions.

The three ferocious beasts have been exploring the path ahead for Lu Yuan and others, avoiding many terrains where accidents may occur, such as frozen glacial lakes or rift valleys blocked by ice and snow.

What I didn't expect was that the far north, which looked like a flat land, would have such a complicated terrain.

Although these terrains are not dangerous for powerful soul masters like Lu Yuan, it is still not good for some accidents to delay their trip.

However, what surprised Lu Yuan and others was that for one consecutive day, they had penetrated almost five hundred miles into the extreme north, but they still saw no trace of the soul beast.

"Brother, are there really soul beasts here?" Lu Qingqing asked again depressedly.

Lu Yuan shrugged and said, "I'm sure there are soul beasts, but this far north is really desolate. There are no soul beasts in basically the outer areas..."

He grinned helplessly. The Far North was so desolate. It was no wonder that the soul masters of this era did not believe that spirit beasts existed in the Far North.

But as a time traveler, he was very sure that there were powerful soul beasts that could adapt to the extremely low temperature living in this far north land.

After the day passed, Lu Yuan decided to find a place where he could avoid the wind and snow, camp on the spot, rest for a while, and start his journey again the next day.

However, while setting up camp, an uninvited guest appeared.

Behind a hillside, Lu Qingqing suddenly exclaimed, "What is this??"

Lu Yuan and others were startled and hurried over to her side to take a look, only to find that where she had pushed away the accumulated ice and snow, large white round bugs rolled out.

It looks like a silkworm, with a round head and a fleshy appearance. It is as big as a person's arms, and its length is about one meter.

The most important thing is that the entire body of this giant silkworm is white jade, crystal clear, with a halo flowing under the epidermis, and a pair of small golden eyes on its head, which looks extremely cute.

And it continues to squirm towards its original position, like an otaku who wants to return to his bed.

When Lu Yuan saw this, he chuckled and said, "Qingqing, look, isn't this the soul beast from the far north that you have always been thinking about?"

"Lu Yuan, you said this guy is... a soul beast?" Dugu Yan blinked and said.

"It's a bit cute..." After Lu Qingqing knew that this was a soul beast, she even tried to grab a handful of this snow-white giant silkworm.

I have to say that it feels great to touch, but the body temperature of this giant silkworm is too low, as low as the temperature in the far north.

Lu Yuan smiled and continued, "Yes, this guy is indeed a soul beast, a soul beast unique to the far north, called Ice Silkworm."

Yes, this giant silkworm should be the same species of soul beast as the peerless Tianmeng Ice Silkworm from the Tang Sect period - Ice Silkworm.

Zi Ji and Bi Ji also suddenly transformed into human forms at this time, looking curiously at the soul beast of the far north they had seen for the first time.

"This ice silkworm is born as a soul beast with both mental and ice attributes. However, its combat effectiveness is seriously affected by its speed. Its cultivation speed is very slow. Only a few ice silkworms can cultivate for more than a thousand years. This is just because of their large number and the It has no fighting power. Therefore, in the far north, it should be at the bottom of the food chain and a very important food source for other spirit beasts." Lu Yuan said.

The position of this ice silkworm is quite similar to that of seals in previous lives. They are all cute, but in fact they are at the bottom of the entire polar food chain. They move slowly and have low combat effectiveness, but they reproduce very quickly. The best outcome is to be eaten by all kinds of meat. Animals hunt and eat.

"How pitiful..." Lu Qingqing immediately looked at the ice silkworm in front of her with pity.

"However, spirit beasts like them can sleep quite well. If they have enough food or accumulate enough energy, they can sleep for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years." Lu Yuan said.

"Ah? Is it true?" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment and asked.

Lu Yuan nodded, "Of course what I said is true."

He said it was an understatement. Like the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it actually slept for a million years before waking up.

Thousands of years of cold marrow only gave Tianmeng Ice Silkworm enough energy to sleep, but it could not speed up the improvement of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's cultivation level, 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 thinks that relying on Brother Tianmeng's self-knowledge, his strong strength and the existence of the soul contract.

Brother Tianmeng should be very happy to become his soul, but if this may wake him up too early, Brother Tianmeng may still be stuck at the 990,000-year-old cultivation level and has not truly become a hundred years old. Thousand-year soul beast.

"Okay, let's move it to a place and let it continue to sleep. 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 have a good sleep.

Lu Yuan and others began to prepare food. After eating, everyone except Lu Yuan spent the night cultivating their soul power.

The next day, everyone packed up the camp and continued their journey to the depths of the Far North.

On this day, they finally encountered many soul beasts from the far north, including giant ice bears that were all white, direwolves that hunted in groups, and even giant geese that walked upright.

Lu Yuan was surprised. He didn't expect that "penguins" existed in this different world.

Finally, when they went nearly 1,300 miles deep into the far north, they finally encountered the type of soul beast that Lu Yuan wanted to encounter!

"Finally found it!" Lu Yuan said excitedly as he looked at a strange soul beast that appeared in front of him, his eyes blazing.

But after everyone saw the soul beast appearing in front of them, they exclaimed, what a beautiful soul beast.

That's right, it's beautiful. Unlike the ice silkworm's cuteness, the characteristic of this soul beast is beauty.

It was a scorpion, a very beautiful scorpion.

Are scorpions related to the word beauty?

Even Dugu Yan, who had been living with his grandfather Dugu Bo's poisonous people since he was a child, would never have thought that scorpions were beautiful before this.

But now she overturned her previous thoughts because the scorpion soul beast in front of her was so beautiful!

This scorpion soul beast has two colors, one is the color of ice, and the other is green.

There are four superimposed layers on the front of its body, each layer is slightly more than half a foot long. The head is on the frontmost layer, and the silver-white mouthparts flash with a faint cold light. The front half of these four superimposed layers is covered with a special kind of scales.

No, to be precise, it should be a bulge.

They are presented as hexagons one by one, shining with extremely bright luster, like diamond-like protrusions.

These bulges are densely covered on its front half and its six slender and powerful legs.

Under the light of the snow, it exudes an unparalleled brilliance.

It is as if it has become a light source at this moment, and thousands of brilliance are refracted from it.

Although this scorpion soul beast is no more than half a meter tall, its body length is a full meter long, and the shining scorpion tail may be two meters long when unfolded.

"The Ice Jade Scorpion clan has finally been found." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

There is no doubt that this is the Ice Emperor's clan member, the Ice Jade Scorpion. However, the cultivation level of this Ice Jade Scorpion is a bit low. Judging from the aura, it probably only has a cultivation level of five or six thousand years.

Lu Yuan and others did not alert it. With the level of cultivation of Lu Yuan and others, and the effect of Lu Yuan's shadow power to obscure the breath and body shape, the only one who can detect their breath is probably as powerful as the Ice Emperor. Only the soul beast can discover it.

However, Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea in his mind at this time, and quietly released some powerful aura, covering the thousand-year-old ice jade scorpion.

The ice jade scorpion felt this powerful aura at this moment, and immediately became extremely frightened. It followed its instinct and ran back immediately.

However, Lu Yuan did not grab the Ice Jade Scorpion directly, but said, "Let's go, let's follow."

There is no doubt that he wants to follow this Ice Jade Scorpion, find the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, and then find the Ice Emperor - Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!

"Okay." Ning Rongrong and others immediately followed Lu Yuan.

In this way, Lu Yuan followed the Ice Jade Scorpion, and Ning Rongrong and others followed Lu Yuan and moved forward quickly.

The ice jade scorpion ran for about half an hour and finally arrived at a mountainous area covered with ice and snow.

And here, hundreds of powerful ice jade scorpions are here, either sharing food, or swallowing ice attribute free soul power to improve their own cultivation, or... completing the important task of reproducing the ethnic group. .

There is no doubt that this is where the Ice Jade Scorpion clan gathers!

At this time, Lu Yuan and others also saw an extremely huge Ice Jade Scorpion living in the cave in the valley!

This huge ice jade scorpion is about one and a half meters long.

And if ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions are beautiful soul beasts, then this huge Ice Jade Scorpion in front of you is extremely beautiful!

Both of her front claws are one meter long, and they are also covered with strange hexagonal protrusions that look like diamonds. Only the front clip is the same as the mouthparts, which are silvery white with a mirror-like luster.

What caught everyone's attention the most was its pair of eyes.

Its eyes are yellow, like two yellow diamonds inlaid on them, and they are also hexagonal.

The crystal yellow light flashes, giving it a feeling of shining treasure.

If its upper body is bright enough, then the long and upturned tail at the back of its body is the core of all dazzling colors.

Different from the bony joints of the ordinary scorpion's long tail, the Ice Emperor's long tail has only five joints in total. Each joint is an attractive turquoise color. The turquoise green shimmers with a luster full of life. The five joints are the same color. The section closest to the upper body is the widest and narrows toward the back.

At the last section, the tail hook, which also had diamond particles, was raised high, and the tip was also the tip of the hook with silver-white mirror luster.

How could such a soul beast, which was as bright as a gem, not be worthy of the word "extremely beautiful"?

And just using the word "extremely beautiful" to describe it is really a bit weak.

"Found it..." Lu Yuan stared at the giant Ice Jade Scorpion in front of him with satisfied eyes, "Ice Emperor...Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!" (End of Chapter)
