As they continuously went deeper into the Far North, the fierce cold wind became increasingly biting, and the floating snow became heavier.
Huo Yuhao's speed decreased significantly as a result. However, with the Spiritual Detection skill, even when encountering areas with unclear terrain, he could quickly find an optimal route.
After entering the Far North, the Skydream Ice Silkworm remained conscious, constantly guiding Huo Yuhao to change direction. And Huo Yuhao could vaguely feel that the Skydream Ice Silkworm seemed to be continuously releasing a mental force on the surface of his body.
It didn't look like it was searching for anything; it was more like purely releasing its own aura, seemingly trying to attract someone.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm, who possessed a million years of cultivation but little actual power, did not know that before he even attracted his target, he was discovered by an old Black Dragon shortly after entering the Far North.
The old Black Dragon was currently far away, tracking his footsteps from a distance.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. The snow on the ground became thicker and had already passed their knees.
Putting on the prepared snowshoes. Wang Lin looked at Long Xiaoyao, who was staring blankly to the north, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you even know the way? Did we go wrong?"
They had been in the Far North for a full two days. It was one thing that the soul beasts encountered on the way were few and far between, but the crucial point was that not a single soul beast encountered exceeded a thousand years.
Wang Lin was now a little suspicious that this old Black Dragon had secretly released his Ultimate Douluo aura, which was why no high-level soul beasts appeared.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but observe the old Black Dragon, but unfortunately, he couldn't see any abnormality.
"We didn't go wrong." Long Xiaoyao said without batting an eyelid, offering no explanation.
Originally, he had no interest in the youth who recklessly entered the Far North, but he hadn't expected that youth to suddenly release a spiritual aura that didn't belong to him.
The purity of that spiritual aura was even higher than his own, an Ultimate Douluo. That youth must have a spiritual-attribute secret treasure on him.
Long Xiaoyao wanted to see what that youth intended to do in the Far North and also clarify what the secret treasure was, preparing to find an opportunity to snatch the secret treasure.
"It's up to you then." Wang Lin was somewhat helpless. The coldness of the Far North was too intense. If Long Xiaoyao hadn't protected him with soul power halfway, he wouldn't have been able to persevere until now.
After resting briefly, Wang Lin, wearing his snowshoes, resumed movement under Long Xiaoyao's guidance. Along the way, he felt that Long Xiaoyao seemed to be suffering from senile dementia.
He kept changing directions, and just when Wang Lin couldn't resist talking back.
Long Xiaoyao suddenly grabbed Wang Lin's shoulder. A rich darkness aura instantly enveloped Wang Lin. Before Wang Lin could react, the enormous force easily knocked Wang Lin down, pressing him firmly into the snow.
Pfft!
With white snow covering his face, Long Xiaoyao's voice rang out in Wang Lin's ear: "You can look up, but don't get up!"
As soon as his voice fell, an unimaginably terrifying aura descended instantly.
"Ugh." Wang Lin groaned under the pressure of the terrifying aura. Invisible pressure bore down on him. He slowly raised his head, forcefully enduring the pressure.
In a vast white world, a terrifying giant beast over one hundred and twenty meters tall continued to run across the horizon.
The terrifying giant soul beast's form was very similar to a human's. Its arms were long and slender, and its entire body was covered in long, snow-white fur. Even its face was very much like a human's, except for many wrinkles on its forehead and its bluish-gray skin. A pair of white eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty light.
The terrifying giant beast was running. It seemed to notice Long Xiaoyao here, and its pair of snow-white eyes scanned over, its speed slowing down considerably.
Long Xiaoyao stood on the spot, not releasing any aura. His pair of black eyes met the terrifying giant beast's eyes, without any fear.
It was evident that hesitation appeared in the terrifying giant beast's white eyes, but the hesitation quickly disappeared. It withdrew its gaze, and its speed increased again, disappearing at the other end of the horizon.
As the terrifying giant beast left, the previous terrifying aura also disappeared. Wang Lin climbed up from the snow, looking at the direction the giant beast disappeared with lingering fear.
"What was that, Master?"
"The Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Great Kings of the Far North." Long Xiaoyao answered casually, not caring about the Titan Snow Demon King's departure. His eyes continued to look north.
That youth should be dead now, right?
Sensing the disappearance of that spiritual aura, Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but think. He was not surprised by this.
Long Xiaoyao immediately prepared to take Wang Lin to collect the body, but just as he took one step, that pure spiritual aura reappeared.
Long Xiaoyao's extended right foot hung suspended in mid-air. An interested expression appeared on his face.
Interesting!
Invisible darkness aura enveloped both him and Wang Lin. Just as the darkness aura enveloped them, an invisible mental fluctuation swept over.
To the north, Huo Yuhao barely climbed up from the ground, panting heavily.
Having just recovered from the shock, he noticed a confused expression on the Skydream Ice Silkworm's face in his mind. Invisible mental force spread out in all directions under the Skydream Ice Silkworm's control.
"What's wrong, Brother Tianmeng?"
"Nothing, Yuhao." The Skydream Ice Silkworm, whose mental detection swept over repeatedly and found nothing, was puzzled in his heart.
Was it my illusion?
"What is this?" Huo Yuhao stood up, his face showing horror. He was currently standing in the center of a giant footprint over five meters in size.
"This is the footprint of the Titan Snow Demon King..." The Skydream Ice Silkworm recovered his senses and began to explain to Huo Yuhao.
On the other side.
Although the spiritual fluctuation disappeared, Long Xiaoyao did not retract his power. Invisible darkness aura entwined around both him and Wang Lin, just as it had before the Titan Snow Demon King appeared.
"Wait a minute, Master, did you just say Titan Snow Demon King?" Wang Lin also reacted at this moment. He remembered that in the original work, Huo Yuhao encountered the Titan Snow Demon King when he came to the Far North.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.
"Mn, one of the Three Great Kings." Long Xiaoyao nodded, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and said: "This forbidden area is truly interesting."
Hearing Long Xiaoyao's sudden comment, Wang Lin fell silent. Could it be that I've been following behind Huo Yuhao for the past two days!?
That's why I didn't encounter any soul beasts along the way? After all, the Skydream Ice Silkworm, guiding Huo Yuhao through the Far North, would inevitably avoid soul beasts that posed a threat to them.
The more Wang Lin thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Although the Skydream Ice Silkworm was a weakling, its Spiritual Detection ability was unquestionable.
Currently, only two people could follow Skydream without being noticed: one was Di Tian, and the other was Long Xiaoyao. The darkness attribute was best at stealth.
Moreover, judging from the two days of travel routes, it was possible that his cheap master had discovered Huo Yuhao a long time ago.
Thinking this, Wang Lin silently mourned for Huo Yuhao in his heart.
Truly, misaligned fate and opportunity, blessings encroached by misfortune!
