Chapter 634 Something Flashed
"Show your souls!"
A grayish-white light replaced the original azure blue in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, and as the obscure incantation was finished, a strange aura descended.
The Frosthorned Lizard and the Ice Claw Fighting Beast, who were locked in fierce combat, suddenly felt a thunderous roar in their ears. The sound was so loud that they froze instantly, their brains briefly stopped functioning, and the scenery in front of them became blurry.
Ancient sounds, accompanied by the tolling of bells, resonated in their souls.
"These soul beasts have stopped moving!" The entire Ao Niu team remaining on the ice floe stared wide-eyed.
The boss's strength is terrifying! He can freeze hundreds of soul beasts with a single shout, and they are all over eight thousand years old. Among them are several leader-level soul beasts with a lifespan of fifty thousand years.
Feng Shiyi crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.
"Get ready to meet the boss. Hunter squad 30 is allowed to remove weapons and equipment. You'd better perform well in front of the boss." Seven spirit rings silently rose from Feng Shiyi's body.
"Instructions received, Ao Niu Squad understands!" Ao Niu stood up straight, raising his right palm slightly at an angle to his right temple.
As soon as the words were spoken, a metallic clang and the sound of mechanical transformation rang out. The armor on all the members of the Ao Niu Squad instantly thickened, and various weapons appeared on their shoulders, legs, and even backs. The helmets and metal faceplates fell off, and the goggles lit up with a red light.
The hunter's armor of the Ao Niu is the most exaggerated, with what looks like a miniature reaction device on its back, and sharp bull horns on its helmet gleaming coldly.
"Men! Show me your best later!" Ao Niu's heavy fists collided, sparks flying.
"You've done a great job! I'll treat you to a day of shopping in the business district when we get back!"
"Oh!"
Hundreds of souls carrying a hazy aura came into Ye Nanxiao's view. All of these souls looked similar to the Frosthorn Lizard and the Clawed Fighting Beast.
Ye Nanxiao moved swiftly among the two groups of soul beasts, distinguishing each soul.
"It's not here. It's too cold at higher places. This guy is definitely hiding somewhere higher up." More than a dozen ice mirrors appeared around Ye Nanxiao, concealing his figure.
As Ye Nanxiao swiftly passed by the group of clawed fighting beasts, at the very end of the group of soul beasts, he spotted a soul figure that was only a little over a meter tall. The slender soul seemed out of place among the towering clawed fighting beasts.
"Found you!"
When the Silver Mirror Beast regained consciousness from its previous daze, a tall, slender figure was already standing in front of it.
"Screech!" The Silver Mirror Beast was startled, but quickly reacted and raised its claws to slap Ye Nanxiao hard.
"Bing!"
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand to block the ice crystal claws that the Silver Mirror Beast had conjured.
"Chamo!"
Seeing that its attacks were ineffective, the Silver Mirror Beast roared to attract the attention of the Clawed Fighting Beasts in front of it.
Upon hearing the roar of the Silver Mirror Beast, several Clawed Fighting Beasts immediately turned around and spotted Ye Nanxiao.
In the eyes of the spirit beasts in the far north, humans are only prey and enemies.
The clawed beasts' eyes immediately flashed red, and they charged towards Ye Nanxiao.
At this moment, several figures landed heavily behind Ye Nanxiao like dumplings being dropped into a pot, kicking up large patches of snow.
"Hurrah!"
The Ao Niu team swept past the charging Clawed Fighting Beast with overwhelming force.
Ao Niu, like a heavy truck, directly smashed into several clawed fighting beasts that pounced on him.
The energy blast struck the group of clawed beasts, creating a violent impact that sent a row of soul beasts flying.
"Assemble! Prepare your shields!" Ao Niu shouted.
The six men formed a semi-encirclement around Ye Nanxiao, raised the shields behind them, pieced them together, and slammed them heavily into the ground.
The impact, comparable to an earthquake, caused the Clawed Beast to sway.
Feng Shiyi landed lightly beside Ye Nanxiao, unleashing the full power of a Soul Saint.
Ye Nanxiao knocked the Silver Mirror Beast unconscious with a single palm strike, causing it to reveal its true form.
The crystal-like scales made Feng Shiyi exclaim in amazement. The Silver Mirror Beast was like a soul beast carved from crystal. With just a slight turn of its body, it could project a chaotic radiance.
Ye Nanxiao looked down at the hand that had grabbed the Silver Mirror Beast; his own hand and forearm had disappeared.
Releasing the Silver Mirror Beast and letting it fall onto the snow, Ye Nanxiao discovered that his arm was back.
"I think we can try raising the Silver Mirror Beast. Its scales have an automatic defense that absorbs light." Ye Nanxiao moved the hand that had just grabbed the Silver Mirror Beast.
Looking at the Silver Mirror Beast lying in the snow, radiating a divine aura, Feng Shiyi reached out and put down her mask. "This soul beast is too rare. There may not be a second one here."
Soul beasts with exceptional talents generally have poor reproductive abilities.
Ye Nanxiao's desire to raise these soul beasts would be tantamount to investing a massive amount of digital resources.
Furthermore, soul beasts are wild and untamed, and deep down they harbor hatred towards humans.
Of all the countries, only Shrek Academy's Colosseum has achieved some success.
"There's still some time. Yuanzi is busy right now. I'll go back and think about what to do." Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Shen Ciyuan is still in the honeymoon period. It will take about ten days to transport the Silver Mirror Beast back, and he will need to ensure that the Silver Mirror Beast is healthy and active along the way.
Ye Nanxiao reached out and grabbed the Silver Mirror Beast. "Next target."
As the ice floes slowly descended, Feng Shiyi leaped onto them with a slight effort.
The bull's fists glowed yellow, and the device on its back released a large amount of heat, which was then expelled as steam.
"Retreat!" shouted the deputy captain, Ao Niu, who transformed into a blur and leaped onto the floating ice.
Ao Niu seized the opportunity, and when the last team member jumped up, she unleashed the power she had been accumulating.
Two visible shockwaves swept up large amounts of snow and frozen soil, knocking away the Frosthorn Lizards and Clawed Fighting Beasts on the road, leaving only the few leader-level Soul Beasts roaring.
"Rest for half an hour, next target Blizzard Fang." Ye Nanxiao placed the Silver Mirror Beast on the ground, took out a restraint device and placed it on the Silver Mirror Beast's waist, then slapped his hands on the floating ice, creating an ice prison.
The Ao Niu Squad disarmed themselves immediately. Their armor, compared to the Sting Bee Squad, was more focused on defense and counter-fire, so it was far heavier and consumed more energy than the Sting Bee Squad's armor.
Wearing it continuously will rapidly consume a large amount of soul power.
Ye Nanxiao stared at the Silver Mirror Beast, and suddenly put on a pair of gloves.
The latest novel is first published here!
"As expected of Shrek Academy's top student, you even know about animal biology?" Feng Shiyi squatted down beside Ye Nanxiao as he meticulously recorded the data of the Silver Mirror Beast.
Ye Nanxiao also marked several ideas for artificial intervention in breeding on it.
"So-so, just the basics." Ye Nanxiao finished writing down his thoughts and handed the notebook to Feng Shiyi.
"Issue a mission: capture these things alive. The reward will be doubled for each male and female," Ye Nanxiao said, then paused for a moment before continuing, "I might be the first scientist on this continent to propose artificial intervention in reproduction."
"I knew something was off if I didn't hear you being so vain for a day." Feng Shiyi raised her notebook and smacked Ye Nanxiao.
"What! Is it so hard to admit my intelligence?" Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes and said.
"Hmm, of course I admit it, my dear boss." Feng Shiyi swayed her body and bumped Ye Nanxiao with her shoulder.
Half an hour later, in the middle layer of the Cloud Mountain Range.
A large snow cloud rose from a relatively flat mountain peak.
"My little ones! Show off your muscles!" Ao Niu shouted excitedly, snapping off a Blizzard fang with each hand.
"oh!"
"Oh my, they all seem very motivated. The long-range firepower of the Ao Niu Squad's armor isn't strong enough. Go back and have the maintenance workers in the equipment department design an upgrade. Increase the reward for this mission by 20%. Also, add Ao Niu to the candidate list for the Destroyer Beast. This woman is incredibly strong." Ye Nanxiao's eyes gleamed with blue light as he carefully observed the Ao Niu Squad's combat.
The Ao Niu team, whose members were all at the seventh level of cultivation, was still struggling against the Blizzard Fang clan, which had been around for 50,000 years. In particular, the two Blizzard Fang leaders had reached the cultivation level of 60,000 years. However, the Ao Niu team's soul-guided armor was mainly for defense, so they didn't have to fight too hard.
The Blizzard Fang leader was very frustrated. It had already swung out its pair of fangs, which it was so proud of, but the expected ice storm did not appear. One of its companions' fangs could not be used at all. The iron skin on these humans was very strange.
In its perception, these humans shouldn't be that powerful.
Another Blizzard Fang leader had already fainted at Ye Nanxiao's feet, a hazy halo shining in its beastly eyes.
"Your soul is quite interesting," Ye Nanxiao said slowly.
"Change back, you look too unfamiliar." Feng Shiyi kicked Ye Nanxiao in the shin, and the cross-shaped scythe in her hand flew out quickly, depriving the Blizzard Fang leader in front of her of its mobility.
Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, his aura had returned to normal.
"Does it seem unfamiliar? What do you think I looked like just now? Like a wizard?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a smile.
He felt that if he practiced soul magic for a while, he might be able to cosplay as Ainz Ooal Gown.
"Like a cold-blooded charlatan." Feng Shiyi grabbed the Blizzard Fang leader with one hand, leaped up, and jumped back onto the floating ice.
Ye Nanxiao watched Feng Shiyi's retreating figure thoughtfully, muttering to himself, "Did my move just now remind her of some unpleasant memories?"
Feng Shiyi's predecessor was an assassin trained by the Holy Spirit Cult.
Within the Holy Spirit Cult, there are practically no normal people, especially since Feng Shiyi was previously just a low-ranking assassin who had witnessed too much madness.
"Fall back," Ye Nanxiao said to the Ao Niu squad, who were gradually closing in on the encirclement.
When Ye Nanxiao returned to the ice floe, Feng Shiyi stood on the edge, watching him quietly.
"Eleven, I'm sorry, I reminded you of bad memories." Ye Nanxiao apologized decisively, admitting that he had gotten a little carried away.
Feng Shiyi shook her head slightly, stepped forward, gently grabbed Ye Nanxiao's collar, raised her head, and looked up with a stubborn expression in her eyes.
"I know that's your power, and I know you won't fall into evil. I believe in you."
"However, the reaction to this power is too great, so it's not appropriate to announce it now. Remember to keep it under wraps."
"I don't want to be the one rescuing you next time."
The Ao Niu team squatted in a corner, their faces serious, silent, communicating only with their eyes.
