Chapter 12: Ten Thousand Years of Cold Marrow Lake
Chapter 12: Ten Thousand Years of Cold Marrow Lake
During this period of time, she has been constantly inquiring about the current timeline of Douluo. Although she knows that the current Pope is Bibi Dong, she still doesn't know the specific year. Fortunately, there are many merchants who obey her orders. Last year, she instructed a team of merchants to go to Soto City to help her gather information.
Finally, she came to the conclusion that there were only three students in the Shrek Academy she investigated, and they were all only thirteen or fourteen years old.
I guess these can only be Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai and Oscar.
This means that if she sets out for Shrek Academy now, she will either catch up with the progress of the main storyline, or arrive about a year earlier than the main storyline. She can accept either result.
It is much better to follow the main storyline and get some good stuff than to stay here all the time. However, she will not lick Tang San without any bottom line, but in a sense, the other party is indeed an object that can be used.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. She has not forgotten the deep hatred of the past. Over the years, she has been thinking about blowing up Wuhun City all the time to get rid of the psychological shadow she has suffered over the years.
Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao became more eager to find the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm she was looking for. She touched Da Huang beside her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, with Da Huang here, as long as we carefully avoid the territories of those powerful soul beasts and search along the neutral zone, nothing will go wrong."
She originally thought that there were only a few hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, she found that the tribes of soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old were like a multitude of people crossing the river, and they had their own territories inside the Star Dou Great Forest. Therefore, they could only carefully avoid the scope of these territories and advance cautiously under the cover of Da Huang.
Come to think of it, just because it's not described doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If there were only a few hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, they would have been extinct by the time of Douluo Dalu. During these tens of thousands of years, strong people also needed to hunt for soul rings, so there must have been quite a few hundred thousand year old soul beasts that were killed.
This is also a good thing. The cave where the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is sleeping must be located in the neutral zone. Even if they don’t know the exact location, they will always find it as long as they look for places with larger energy fluctuations in the neutral zone. The existence of these territories undoubtedly helps her narrow the scope.
Listening to the faint sounds of fighting and the roars of soul beasts coming from all around, Qin Menglan couldn't help but feel a little scared and hugged Leng Xiyao's body tightly. After all, she was only a level 28 soul master with no combat ability. Even if Da Huang covered up their human breath and they would not be discovered, she was still extremely scared.
To be honest, Leng Xiyao came here this time with the attitude of a blind cat catching a dead mouse. She had no idea whether she could be found or not. Now she had been wandering around in the core of the forest for a long time. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.
"No, I have to learn something!"
After walking for a while, Leng Xiyao realized that it was very stupid to wander around like this, so she pulled out her panel and pressed the [Learn] button behind an active skill.
"Congratulations to the host for learning the active skill: [Insect King Perception]. The current level is 1. You can identify the specific abilities of the target item/creature!"
"not enough!"
"Congratulations to the host for upgrading the [Insect King Perception] skill. The current level is lv2: You can perceive all objects within a radius of ten meters and identify them."
"not enough!!"
"Congratulations to the host for upgrading the [Insect King Perception] skill. The current level is level 3: You can perceive all objects and creatures within a radius of meters and identify them (this skill currently consumes too much energy for the host)."
"not enough!!!"
"Congratulations to the host for upgrading the [Insect King Perception] skill. The current level is level 4, and it has an additional effect on the original basis: you can use your existing cognition to search for target items/creatures/locations in the current area. When the target intelligence obtained is greater than 60%, you can obtain specific location information."
Looking at her newly acquired skills, Leng Xiyao nodded contentedly. Overall, this skill was not very strong. The first few levels were like the spiritual consciousness of an immortal cultivator, but the range was too small to be of much use. The fourth function was like the search and navigation function of a map app in her previous life. Even if she didn't know the specific name of the target, she could still search for the results she wanted based on information such as the target's business, store size, etc.
Of course, this is a useless function, but it is undoubtedly very suitable for the current situation.
After decisively releasing her new skill, Leng Xiyao felt that her mind became very clear. The area within a radius of twenty meters was like her own territory, and nothing could escape her thoughts. Even Qin Menglan beside her became much more attractive under this perception ability.
Hmm? It seems like something was exposed, but it doesn't matter~
"Caves, ninety or one million year old ice silkworms, ten thousand year old cold marrow."
Associating these words in her mind, Leng Xiyao felt that her thoughts had turned into a line, being led in a certain direction.
Soon, she opened her eyes, pointed in a direction and said excitedly, "Found it, it's over there, let's go!"
Qin Menglan, who was standing by, was no longer surprised by Leng Xiyao's strange abilities that appeared from time to time. Leng Xiyao did not hide the inside story of her martial soul or system from her without any reservation. After all, if she could not even fully trust Qin Menglan, then her life in this world would be too boring.
With the help of map navigation, the subsequent search became much faster. Under the cover of Dahuang, they soon arrived at a cold lake.
However, the tremendous cold froze even the surrounding trees solid, so they could only watch from afar and dared not get close.
"Sister Yaoyao, how do we get there?" Looking at the ice sculptures of a group of soul beasts in the distance, Qin Menglan felt like she was about to freeze to death.
There are many powerful ones among these ice sculptures, some of which are as tall as 50,000 to 60,000 years old. They were probably attracted by the rich energy here, but it was obvious that they were not ice-attributed soul beasts and could not withstand the cold here. Driven by greed, when they realized that they might die here, they could no longer escape.
Speaking of which, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, a creature from the Far North, can actually crawl here. Is it really the real protagonist?
"It's okay. You guys wait here. I'll be there myself." The severe cold that seemed to be able to freeze the soul did not stump Leng Xiyao. She still remembered that she had a passive skill called [Environmental Adaptation]. Every level of this skill could unlock resistance to a new harsh environment and increase the strength of the unlocked resistance.
