Chapter 151 Meeting Tianmeng on the Return Journey
In a certain underground ice crevice -
A huge ice silkworm squirmed everywhere, then stopped as if tired, then floated up and continued to turn aimlessly, as if it didn't know what to do.
It returned to a piece of ten thousand year old cold marrow that had lost all its energy fluctuations, coiled into a ball, but after a moment it started shaking again.
Opened that big mouth and howled.
"Ah! I haven't been able to sleep for days! That guy who caused the earthquake is so despicable! If my brother Tianmeng knew who it was, he would definitely give him a taste of mental oppression!"
After circling for a long time, it got annoyed and looked at the ice crack created by the "earthquake", which was originally only a very thin crack.
However, after waking up and getting in a good mood, the room felt a lot more spacious. I tried it and it seemed I could enter.
I suddenly had the urge to go out and take a look, and my curiosity about the outside world was simply hard to suppress.
I'm so strong now, I shouldn't be treated as food like before, right? Maybe I can still satisfy my desire to be a predator, but I haven't experienced that feeling yet.
It looked back at the place where it had stayed for who knows how many years, and with a determined heart, it dived directly into the ice crevice.
Anyway, I had already sucked up all the cold marrow, so there was nothing to miss here.
After passing through layers of ice, when he encountered a dead end that he could not bypass, he would simply use his mental power to shatter a new path.
the other side-
After crossing the mountain, Feng Xuan returned to the place where he got lost, but this time there was no wind and snow to block his vision. It seemed that getting lost was not really his fault. Well, I’m not a directionally challenged person. I was just trapped in the maze set up by the Ice and Snow Emperors.
The traces left before have long been buried. To be honest, I don’t know which direction to go now.
Just as I was planning to fly higher to take a look at the surrounding situation, I suddenly felt a slight, imperceptible vibration under my feet.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Feng Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his body, and gently pressed one hand on the snow surface that had already frozen into ice. Powerful mental power emanated from it, sensing what was happening below.
But even after digging nearly ten thousand feet deep, they still couldn't find the cause.
He stood up and summoned the Human Emperor Banner, and directly summoned the Human Emperor Domain, covering tens of thousands of feet including the underground.
Only then did I discover an unusual fluctuation.
Some kind of soul beast was crawling underneath, not very fast. It was wrapped in an extremely strong mental force, and Feng Xuan was unable to distinguish the other's race through the soul power fluctuations and life breath.
Moreover, this guy can even use his mental power to break tough old ice. How strong must his mental power be!
Hiss~ No, it seems that there really is such a guy in the Far North, Tianmeng! What a coincidence, I actually met him like this.
But wasn't it dormant? Why did it suddenly come out?
Although he was confused, Feng Xuan didn't bother to care about it. This guy was a rare and special soul beast. Whether he turned into a soul or gave it to the Silver Dragon King and Snow Empress, it would be a good choice, although it might be cruel to give it to them.
Then transform into a soul.
Before they met, Feng Xuan had already planned his future with the other party.
Following the direction the other party was crawling, Feng Xuan began to circle around the periphery again.
On the top of the mountain ridge, the ice-feathered geese and a few chicks poked their little heads out and tilted their heads to look at the figure pacing back and forth, a deep sense of helplessness evident in their eyes.
I seem to have seen this strange creature some time ago. Is he lost again?
After half a day, the Ice-Feathered Goose couldn't bear it any longer and was about to flap its wings and fly down to lead the way for that guy. However, before it could take any action, the ice and snow cracked into countless cracks, and then a huge ice silkworm crawled out from it.
Seeing this, its eyes suddenly lit up. It was so big that it would take a long time to eat!
"I finally see the light of day again!" After a long period of digging the road, he finally broke through the ice and Tian Meng couldn't help but shouting loudly.
However, to Feng Xuan who was standing behind him, this voice sounded extremely soft and sweet. Although he couldn't understand what it meant, he was definitely very happy.
"Hey, can you please respect me a little?" Seeing that it was still twisting in ecstasy, Feng Xuan coughed twice to remind it.
Hearing the sound, Tian Meng froze in his tracks. Only now did he realize that there was a living creature behind him, even though he perceived that there should be nothing behind him.
Without hesitation, it subconsciously dived into the snow and planned to go back.
I didn't expect to encounter a being that I couldn't control right after I came out. I was shouting in my heart, why did I come out! Before I could get out far, a big hand grabbed me.
Being lifted up by it, Tian Meng looked at the huge ape in front of him. The powerful aura made him tremble all over. But the other party's cultivation was obviously lower than his, so how could he be so strong?
Tian Meng mobilized his mental power to interfere with the other party, but found that he was not moved at all.
I felt a chill in my heart as I suddenly remembered the fate of my fellow souls when they encountered other soul beasts. They were basically swallowed up and chewed to pieces.
Those with a slightly higher cultivation level will be eaten by soul beasts. They will no longer have the strength to resist, and with such a high cultivation level, they will probably end up in a more miserable situation.
Will I be kept alive and slowly chopped up for meat? Ah~ It's scary to think about it! I don't want that kind of life!
"I didn't expect it was really you, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm."
"Are you interested in following me? I guarantee that you won't be eaten as food by those powerful soul beasts."
Hearing the voice, Tian Meng, who was originally desperate, looked up at the other party. What species is this guy? Human? This is the first time I see him.
He used his mental power to communicate: "How do you want to follow me? Do you want me to be your younger brother?"
It has been a cat for who knows how many years, and has never seen the wickedness of human nature or experienced being devoured by soul beasts, so it is still very naive.
"Sacrifice yourself to me, or I will refine you. Choose one for yourself."
"." Tian Meng didn't react when he first heard it, and then his eyes widened in horror.
"We're going to die anyway? Is there no other option?"
Feng Xuan frowned, wondering why this guy was so stupid.
Is its strong mental power just for show? Di Tian could understand the specialness of the soul just by its mental power without any explanation from himself, but you, who are an expert in this area, didn't even notice it?
So he pointed at Er Ming and said, "Don't you realize what's happening with the guy holding you?"
The panicked Tian Meng used his mental power to brush against the other person, and then became even more terrified.
How did this guy, who had no physical body, hold me? After carefully sensing it, I realized that something was wrong with the other party. It had no breath of life.
"No matter what you choose, you will be like this from now on. How about a conscious soul? If you give up your body, you won't have to worry about being eaten by others, right?"
Tian Meng narrowed his eyes, feeling very tired, "I've already been caught! Do I have any choice?"
Tian Meng, who had just come out and had not experienced much hardship, still had a natural awe for powerful people. This was the nature of the ice silkworm, a prey species.
Feng Xuan didn't expect that it would be so easy to defeat the opponent.
"Don't worry, there will be many benefits if you follow me in the future."
Without further making things difficult for the other party, he refined it directly.
Although his cultivation level was high, his strength was too weak, making it extremely difficult to refine it, and it was completed in a short time.
Pressing it into the array of soul rings of the Human Emperor Banner, the five red soul rings it gave were exceptionally eye-catching.
It has not yet reached the level of a million years of cultivation, but changing the color of the soul ring is Tianmeng's inherent camouflage ability. This is also the reason why even the Human Emperor Banner cannot detect its specific situation. The ability to simulate breath also exists.
It’s a pity that the soul skills it provides don’t do much to improve physical combat power, they are all about improving mental power, mental protection, mental resistance and the like.
While he was testing the other party's abilities, the illusory Tian Meng suddenly jumped out of his body.
It looked at Feng Xuan curiously, then looked at its own body.
"It feels a bit like when I empty my mind and use my mental power, except that I don't feel pain. Hmm? How can I feel pain now?"
Just as he was thinking about it, his spiritual body actually condensed and was pinched by Feng Xuan casually. The slight tingling sensation surprised him.
"You can have that feeling if you want to."
"Okay, it's time to go to the next stop. Remember that city lord said that the scenery in Xueling City is very beautiful, let's go take a look."
