Another two days passed quietly.
Led by Long Xiaoyao, they went deeper into the Far North. As the wind and snow grew heavier, the thickness of the snow quickly approached one meter high.
As the temperature dropped, the snowflakes became hard. The sky-floating snowflakes were like an all-directional soul skill.
The outermost animal skin coat Wang Lin wore had long been cut with tiny slits by the snowflakes. He was now leaning tightly against Long Xiaoyao.
If Long Xiaoyao hadn't protected him with power, let alone the bone-chilling wind that could kill a person, the cold temperature alone would have been enough to freeze Wang Lin into an ice sculpture.
Walking close beside Long Xiaoyao, Wang Lin was now one hundred percent certain that Long Xiaoyao was tracking Huo Yuhao.
If nothing else, soul beasts like the Ice Silkworm generally lived in the outer regions of the Far North, yet they were heading deeper into the Far North.
The main point was that Wang Lin secretly asked Elder Yi in his heart, and Elder Yi could confirm that his divine consciousness fragment that fell onto the Douluo world was not far to the north.
So for the past two days, Wang Lin had been quiet, neither urging Long Xiaoyao to find him a soul beast nor rarely asking what Long Xiaoyao intended to do.
At the same time, he looked down on the Skydream Ice Silkworm in his heart. This Skydream Ice Silkworm is truly a waste despite having a million years of cultivation.
It's been four days, and this Skydream Ice Silkworm hasn't noticed anything wrong at all, continuously leading Huo Yuhao slowly deeper.
It doesn't even know that it has become the mantis.
It will likely be a bargain for Long Xiaoyao, the oriole. Wang Lin now really wanted to tell Long Xiaoyao the content of the original work and let the old Black Dragon hit Huo Yuhao with a major setback.
It wasn't that he wanted to target Huo Yuhao because of that inexplicable bet; the main reason was that Wang Lin was annoyed with the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
It would be best if the Ice Empress fought back and killed Skydream, then possessed Huo Yuhao. As for killing Huo Yuhao, he really didn't have that idea.
Wang Lin didn't hold malice toward Huo Yuhao. That kid was quite miserable in the original work after all. His desire to kill the Skydream Ice Silkworm was also out of consideration for Huo Yuhao.
In the original work, during the Universe Inquiry Love Valley arc, Huo Yuhao was killed and resurrected by Tang San, and then killed and resurrected again—a truly miserable experience. But the Skydream Ice Silkworm was playing with the Ice Empress on the side and even showed off afterward.
Comparing that, Wang Lin felt that the Skydream Ice Silkworm was quite a beast, even though the Skydream Ice Silkworm wasn't human to begin with.
Just as Wang Lin's mind wandered, Long Xiaoyao suddenly stopped. Wang Lin, not reacting in time, bumped into Long Xiaoyao.
Crack!
The ice shards on Long Xiaoyao's body were knocked off by Wang Lin and fell down.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"Squat down, don't move!"
Long Xiaoyao pushed Wang Lin down into the snow. An invisible darkness power surged out, forming a translucent black light membrane that enveloped both him and Wang Lin.
Swish!
An invisible mental fluctuation instantly burst out from the north, soaring into the sky. It quickly expanded, sweeping over Wang Lin and Long Xiaoyao.
Wang Lin also sensed that mental fluctuation at this moment; it was the spiritual aura of the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
Under the effect of the mental power, the light in the core area of the vast Far North, spanning over ten thousand square kilometers, suddenly darkened, as if transitioning from day to night.
An invisible majesty instantly expanded, accompanied by terrifyingly extreme mental power radiating outwards from Huo Yuhao's body as the center.
Under the power of the Skydream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao felt as if he was ruling the world. The earth and the ice and snow completely submitted beneath his feet. It seemed he could destroy everything with a backhand movement and judge everything within his sight.
But neither he nor the Skydream Ice Silkworm noticed the old and the young crouching in the snow to the south.
The old man was staring intently at his direction, and the young man was watching with a curious expression.
In the gloomy sky, muffled thunder began to rumble. Long Xiaoyao took out a black elixir bead and handed it to Wang Lin.
"First, rely on your own power to endure. If you can't hold on, then input soul power into the Dragon Elixir. The power in this Dragon Elixir can protect you for two hours."
Saying this, Long Xiaoyao stood up, seemingly preparing to act.
"Okay, Master." Wang Lin took the Dragon Elixir and said: "Master, that power suddenly being released over a large area seems to be attracting someone. Should we wait a moment? After all, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
As Wang Lin's words fell, balls of golden light flew out from the area where the mental power was released to the north.
A total of nine balls of golden light slowly merged in the air, condensing into a golden light person, floating in the sky.
"Is that the uniform of Shrek Academy?"
Long Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the light person. Although he didn't recognize the light person's appearance, he recognized the clothing: it was the uniform of Shrek Academy's Outer Court.
It really is Huo Yuhao!
Wang Lin thought to himself. Unlike Long Xiaoyao, he didn't recognize the Shrek Academy uniform, but he recognized Huo Yuhao.
The appearance of that light person was exactly Huo Yuhao's appearance.
Just as the light person completely took shape, a powerful will instantly erupted from the light person, spreading outwards.
"Ice Empress, I know you sense my existence. I, Skydream, have returned for revenge. Dare you show yourself?"
The will swept over Wang Lin and Long Xiaoyao. Wang Lin pretended to be confused and asked: "Who is the Ice Empress, and who is Skydream?"
"Interesting. The Ice Empress should refer to the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!" Long Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes, contemplating the name Skydream in his mind.
That Skydream's mental level is actually higher than the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's. Long Xiaoyao became interested.Little Linzi was right. It really is attracting someone.
Thinking this, an invisible darkness aura surged out from his body, wrapping him and Wang Lin even tighter. Since there was a mantis stalking a cicada, he would be the oriole behind.
They didn't have to wait long. The originally pitch-black dark clouds suddenly fluctuated violently. Immediately after, a layer of emerald green light instantly spread from the distant northern sky.
The pitch-black sky turned emerald green in an instant. The green was clear and translucent. The moving color was like the high sky had suddenly transformed into a gigantic emerald green gem.
The oppressive aura in the air also completely vanished at this instant, turning into nothing.
"Skydream, you are actually still alive. As expected of the most long-lived fellow in our Far North." A crisp voice rang out from all directions. The appearance of this voice was accompanied by a terrifying sound wave. The snow on the ground almost instantly rose three meters high.
It even affected Wang Lin and Long Xiaoyao's position. However, Long Xiaoyao did not act rashly, letting the rising snow bury him and Wang Lin.
"She actually came. Little Linzi, that emerald green light just now was the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, one of the Three Great Kings of the Far North. This trip was not in vain."
Saying this, Long Xiaoyao became energized, battle intent igniting in his eyes. The Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Kings, and a mental soul beast no weaker than the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord.
