How could these beasts possibly shake us?
This time, Mu Ci did not hold back. Golden light flashed on the Xuanlu Golden Horn, and the Demon-Slaying Golden Thunder intertwined into a sea of thunder in the cave. The indescribable explosion and heat instantly swept away all the creatures in the cave.
He had already explored the cave with his domain and found that there were no other survivors besides the demonic wolf.
Those who were captured from various villages and caravans also died under the torture of the demon wolves.
After all, demon wolves and wolf bandits have no pity for them; survival of the fittest is their rule.
The thunderous sound lasted for several dozen breaths before gradually subsiding.
Most of the dozens of demonic wolves and wolf bandits left to guard the cave were reduced to ashes by the golden lightning, with only one still intact and breathing.
Mu Ci carefully examined the wolf bandit's size and features such as canines and fur that could indicate its age, and roughly deduced that it was the oldest in the entire pack, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to call it the wolf king.
After all, wolf bandits also have some human blood, and their growth rate is far greater than that of soul beasts.
With sufficient food supply, it is possible to grow to the equivalent of hundreds of years of lifespan for a soul beast in just one year.
Tread-
The only surviving wolf bandit looked at Mu Ci walking over the ashes, its wolf eyes filled with endless fear and hidden bloodlust. However, it was so badly injured and on the verge of death that it no longer had the strength to howl.
Mu Ci walked to a spot not far from the wolf bandits, a hint of surprise still showing in her eyes.
Although his scattered golden lightning was not as powerful as when it was concentrated, it was still more than this wolf bandit, who was only about 20,000 to 30,000 years old, could withstand.
However, Mu Ci didn't investigate too deeply; if he wasn't dead, he'd just finish him off with another blow.
Mu Ci raised his right hand, extending a slender index finger with distinct knuckles, and streaks of golden lightning converged into a single point.
"Beings like you should be called monstrous creatures!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the golden light was suddenly ejected.
The intense electric light, like a plasma bomb, formed a golden lightning sphere five meters in diameter centered on the wolf bandit's body, which lasted for several breaths before gradually disappearing.
Just as Mu Ci turned to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark crystal left behind by the wolf bandits in the deep pit.
The golden lightning still flickered on the surface, but it did not cause any damage.
Mu Ci turned around, rubbed her chin, and looked on with a hint of curiosity.
He immediately reached out and waved his hand, and a streak of soul power pulled him up from the bottom of the pit.
He examined the crystal in his hand for a moment, but didn't find anything special. However, when he explored the Abundant Domain, he discovered that the object contained an extremely rich amount of unusual earth element.
However, it has subtle differences from the earth element in Douluo Continent, and is most likely an item that fell from another world.
Such things are not unprecedented in Douluo Continent. Some spatial fluctuations and rifts are very likely to connect different worlds, and it is not surprising that other life forms or objects come from there.
Take, for example, the Evil Eye Tyrant of the Sun and Moon Continent.
Mu Ci studied it for a while longer and found that she couldn't figure it out in the short term, so she put the item into her soul tool and planned to make a decision about it when she had free time later.
When Mu Ci emerged from the cave, countless towering trees began to sprout from the earth, their thick, dragon-like roots weaving through the mountains and valleys.
After a violent earthquake, the cave collapsed with a loud crash, and countless pieces of earth and rocks began to bury everything.
When the roaring stopped, Mu Ci waved his hand again, and azure-gold light flashed in the air. Countless plants and trees began to grow wildly, and in an instant, they became just like the surrounding forest.
Mu Ci looked at the changed mountainside and sighed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to bring back the remains of the victims, but rather that he simply couldn't find much else to bring back.
With hundreds of wolves entrenched here, how much flesh and bones will remain?
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Mu Ci set off to return to Tianhan City.
-
hotel room.
When Mu Ci returned, he saw Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sitting on the sofa in the room, still not resting.
"Brother Mu Ci, how did things go?"
When the two women saw Mu Ci return, they immediately got up to greet him.
"I have eliminated the remaining Frostwind Wolves and Wolf Bandits in the wolf den. It's just a pity that none of those who were abducted survived."
Upon hearing Mu Ci's story, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er immediately fell silent, unsure of how to comfort him, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became somewhat heavy.
Seeing the two women's expressions, Mu Ci took the initiative to speak.
"Alright, the matter is over. At least with our intervention, the civilians inside and outside Tianhan City will no longer be threatened by this gang of wolf bandits."
"You've been fighting for so long, why haven't you rested?"
Seeing that Mu Ci had changed the subject, Shui Bing'er also regained her serene smile.
"Lord Loran found a left arm bone of a thousand-year-old frost wolf among the wolf pack and then personally delivered it to us."
As she spoke, Shui Bing'er took out a piece of ice-blue bone from her soul tool and handed it to Mu Ci.
However, Mu Ci did not take it, but pushed it back and shook her head.
"The soldiers guarding the city also deserve credit for what happened tonight. Aren't you going to give them some gold soul coins as compensation?"
“They gave it to us, but the city lord refused to accept it. He said that the corpses of those demon wolves alone were enough to generate ten years’ income for Tianhan City, so he was unwilling to accept any more.”
Mu Ci understood and looked at the two women with a smile.
"In that case, you should get some rest."
after an hour.
Mu Ci felt somewhat helpless upon sensing Shui Yue'er's return.
"Moon, you..."
"I do not care!"
The Abundant Domain quietly enveloped the room, preventing any further sounds or smells from escaping.
Chapter 115 Journey to the Far North, Core Anomaly
Two days later.
Mu Ci bid farewell to Lord Loran and Bishop Sai Dong, and entered the Frozen Forest with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
The Frozen Forest covers an extremely vast area, stretching across the northern borders of the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
On the Douluo Continent, no matter where you are, as long as you keep traveling north, you will inevitably encounter this forest.
This also, to some extent, restricted the exploration of the far north by Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent.
Even the Spirit Hall knows very little about this.
With the help of the domain's power, Mu Ci led the two women through the frozen forest at a rapid pace, effectively avoiding sudden encounters with soul beasts.
However, this method is only applicable within the Frozen Forest. Once you enter the barren land of the Far North Forbidden Zone, the amplification effect of plants on the area will be greatly reduced.
After all, there was hardly any grass in that place.
Because of her further relationship with Shuiyue'er, Mu Ci postponed the Soul Hunting Plan by one day, citing the Frostwind Demon Wolf siege incident.
Even with the power of abundance, Shuiyue'er was actually unharmed.
Shui Bing'er expressed her understanding of this.
After all, the two sisters needed time to calm down after experiencing the killing.
But when Shui Bing'er looked at Shui Yue'er, who was following closely behind Mu Ci with a happy expression, her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Her woman's intuition made her vaguely feel something was amiss.
However, Shui Bing'er couldn't quite put her finger on what the problem was, since Shui Yue'er had always been the same way.
Perhaps, Shuiyue'er was just being more affectionate than usual?
-
Just as Mu Ci and his two companions had stepped into the Frozen Forest, dozens of kilometers inside,...
Beneath the core of the far north, beneath thousands of feet thick layers of ancient ice, a long-silent, ice-blue palace suddenly trembled.
It was as if some kind of restriction had been triggered, and wisps of white light began to appear above the palace, bringing light to this abyss that had been shrouded in darkness for hundreds of thousands of years.
However, these white lights do not only bring light, but also contain supreme power that surpasses the understanding of the Douluo Continent.
With a cracking sound, a beam of pure white light burst forth from the revived palace, instantly piercing through the ice layer above.
This spectacular sight was witnessed by many soul beasts in the core area of the far north.
However, none of the soul beasts who witnessed this scene were more shocked than Xue Di.
Because she was a permanent resident of the far northern core area, this towering pillar of light happened right before her eyes, within her reach.
Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with shock, her deep blue eyes widened involuntarily, her cherry lips trembled slightly, and her snow-white hair fell still.
Her very essence, her soul power and her soul core trembled the moment the pillar of light appeared, a testament to the awe of a higher-dimensional power.
In the end, even this king wearing the crown of the far north had to bow his head before such majesty.
This is out of faith in and reverence for the Ice God.
Yes, Ice God!
The Snow Empress had already sensed the aura of the Ice God within this pillar of light; only the Ice God could unleash such pure, extreme cold power.
The beam of light came and went quickly, disappearing into the far north core in just a few breaths.
All that remained was an unfathomable icy abyss.
Apart from that, everything was as if it had never happened.
Only the lingering divine power in the air can attest to all of this.
As the Snow Empress composed herself and looked again at the icy abyss before her, a streak of emerald light streaked across the distant sky and landed not far beside her.
A stunningly beautiful woman, slightly shorter than the Snow Emperor, stepped out. Her captivating emerald green eyes and her exquisitely fair face were adorned with four emerald green magic markings on each side.
Her long, dark green hair cascaded down her back, and her skin was as white as snow, with a faint emerald glow flowing beneath it.
Ice Emperor, one of the Three Kings of the Far North!
Of course, since she was appearing in front of the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress would still appear in human form, which would make her feel that she and the Snow Empress were a good match.
