Chapter 72 The Unfathomable Tang Wulin
The situation took an unexpected turn, and Huo Yuhao immediately threw the person in front of him who needed protection away.
He then unleashed a mental shockwave behind him.
Taking advantage of a brief respite, Huo Yuhao grabbed Tang Wulin's arm and charged into the swirling snow like a madman.
As he ran, Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. According to his expectations, this mental impact could only hold off the leader for a moment.
Little did he know that even after he had run away, those people still hadn't caught up. But Huo Yuhao was in such a hurry that he didn't notice the fleeting purple light in Tang Wulin's eyes behind him.
The two gradually walked away...
Deep in the snowfield, Huo Yuhao was running forward step by step, while Tang Wulin beside him remained silent.
Huo Yuhao didn't think much of it, assuming he was either frozen or too scared.
A long time passed, and Huo Yuhao could no longer hold on. With a thud, he fell into the thick snow.
The wind howled, and the cold snowflakes seeped through Huo Yuhao's thin clothes, making his skin dry and cracked. Huo Yuhao wanted to get up and shake off the snow, but his body seemed to have a mind of its own and he couldn't move at all. This was clearly a sign of being frozen stiff.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that Tianmeng had told him that if he entered the far north, he would soon be frozen into an ice sculpture with his cultivation level. Only by wearing its remains could he ensure his safety.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao took out the life-saving item from his storage soul tool and put it on.
The sudden warmth made Huo Yuhao feel numb all over. After letting out a long sigh, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that if he had become like this, what about the other person he had brought with him?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao quickly turned to look at Tang Wulin behind him, only to find Tang Wulin calmly watching him as if nothing had happened. He asked, "What's that on you?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback. The thought of keeping it a secret subconsciously replaced his original question. Looking at Tang Wulin's calm eyes, Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "No, it's a family heirloom."
"A family heirloom?"
Tang Wulin asked with a slightly teasing tone.
Huo Yuhao realized what was happening and, thinking of the Dai family, felt a sense of bad luck. He quickly said:
"That's about it, don't worry about it. By the way, I survived because of this coat that kept me warm, how did you...?"
He didn't ask the following question, but the meaning was already quite clear. Tang Wulin leaned against the snow slope but didn't answer him. He simply smiled and handed him a roll of cloth that shimmered with a green light.
Huo Yuhao was stunned, not understanding his meaning. Tang Wulin smiled and wrapped his hand around his arm a few times, as if bandaging it.
Huo Yuhao immediately realized what was happening, and after nervously expressing his gratitude, he hurriedly began bandaging his wound. Tang Wulin suddenly asked, "Are you still injured?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said:
"No, no, but I did want to ask you something..."
"I'm going to start cultivating."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Tang Wulin didn't give him another chance to ask questions. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Seeing this sudden scene, Huo Yuhao was somewhat bewildered. After confirming that Tang Wulin was indeed cultivating, Huo Yuhao timidly asked, "Brother Tianmeng, what does he mean by this?"
The excited Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately gave a look that said, "You don't understand."
"Idiot! Think about it! You're frozen like this, how could this little brat be alright! He wasn't talking to you just now! He was clearly just being stubborn!"
He's rushing into cultivation now because he can't handle it anymore! You can't even understand something this simple; you're still too inexperienced!
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself:
"You've spent most of your age sleeping, so you're not necessarily any more mature than me."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately became displeased.
"Huo Yuhao! You ungrateful bastard! I even brought you here! And you dare to talk to me like that!"
Huo Yuhao spread his hands and exclaimed, "Huh? What did I forget? What happened to the surprise? Where's my second martial soul?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm waved its large, fleshy head and said:
"What's wrong with you! Who knew you'd suddenly run into those random guys! You were already outmatched, and then you dragged this burden along! You're too soft-hearted!"
Huo Yuhao said, "I can't just stand by and watch him die! That guy is about to be caught!"
Don't change the subject! Where's my surprise?!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "Don't be so rude to your brother Tianmeng! Get out of here right now!"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was so angry it was almost turning into the Heavenly Dream Fire Silkworm. "Idiot! Look behind you!"
When Huo Yuhao took a look, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Reaching out at lightning speed, Huo Yuhao grabbed Tang Wulin, who was meditating nearby, and plunged headfirst into the thick snow.
Huo Yuhao's reaction was not exaggerated at all. If Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hadn't already told him how exaggerated this place was, he probably would have fainted from fright due to insufficient mental strength in the past.
In the sky, the heavy snow continued to fall, transforming into a vast, continuous tornado.
On the distant horizon, enormous figures, with steps that shook the earth, slowly climbed up from the horizon.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous figure arrived not far from where Huo Yuhao and the other person were hiding.
A massive shadow loomed over everything in sight, and every breath of the behemoth possessed a power that silenced all who beheld it.
The giant beasts' footsteps were heavy; from Huo Yuhao's perception, each step felt as if it landed right beside him.
It seemed as if the next step was to step directly on Huo Yuhao and crush him.
This suffocating feeling caused Huo Yuhao's mind to tremble violently and his legs to go weak. Realizing that there was something wrong with his mind, Huo Yuhao quickly circulated his mental energy in an attempt to stabilize his condition.
After an unknown amount of time, the footsteps finally faded away, and Huo Yuhao then realized that he had been extremely tense even while breathing.
Relieved, Huo Yuhao quickly asked in his mind:
"Brother Tianmeng, what were those things just now?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "Didn't you learn about that in your textbook? That guy is called Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North."
Let me tell you, if we don't count those reclusive sea spirit beasts, this guy is definitely one of the largest spirit beasts on the entire continent!
Huo Yuhao's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "Ah! Does that mean he's invincible?!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "Idiot! Who said the biggest is invincible?"
Otherwise, how come your Tianmeng brother, as the first million-year soul beast on the entire continent, is still so small?
"Good things come in small packages, you know?"
Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly and said, "Understood, Brother Tianmeng!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with a smile, "Hehe! That's a good girl!"
Huo Yuhao said, "Yes! Brother Tianmeng! Thanks to your reminder! I managed to escape those terrifying guys! After the ordeal just now, I never want to encounter beings of that level again in my life!"
Huo Yuhao's excited statement was met with a bucket of cold water.
"Hey? What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I was going to avoid them?"
"what?"
Before Huo Yuhao, whose mouth was agape, could react, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said:
"This time, we're heading straight for the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North!"
This time! Our target is a woman!
She is the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, with over 700,000 years of cultivation, representing the pinnacle of all Far North Soul Beasts!
The Ice and Snow Maiden, revered as the number one figure by all the spirit beasts of the far north! The Snow Empress!
Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief and said:
"Will that work? If she's that powerful, aren't we just throwing our lives away?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled:
"Don't worry! This Snow Maiden's time is coming to an end! It is extremely difficult for a Soul Beast to break through the Heavenly Tribulation of 100,000 years."
As the eight hundred thousandth year of the Heavenly Tribulation approaches, not only us bystanders, but even the Snow Empress herself probably feels that she has no chance!
"As long as I can get her, I'm pretty confident I can persuade her!"
Huo Yuhao's face immediately turned into a dead fish eye as he said:
"What you're saying is exactly the same as that joke about putting a Titan ape in a closet."
"How could we possibly capture the Snow Empress, who is so powerful?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled:
"Don't worry, Xiao Yuhao! I have a plan!"
To be honest, this wasn't originally Xue Di's plan.
But didn't you say before that you saw that Tang Wulin's inferiority complex?
At first, I scoffed at this! I thought, you already have an older brother! You shouldn't feel inferior because of anyone!
But later I realized that your idea makes some sense!
Don't assume that what you've seen of him represents his full strength.
Let me tell you, I think that guy is really cunning!
I can't quite figure him out, and I can't even guess what he's thinking.
I'm getting a little curious myself. I wonder what this guy is doing right now.
But I guess he's hanging out with some other weirdos like him.
Anyway, I've gone off on a tangent, so I thought, since you're willing to follow me, I can't let you suffer this injustice, can I?
So, I've decided to go all out! I'll let you shine! When school starts, you'll wield your Ice and Snow Maiden martial spirit and make everyone else look like mere background!
"Ahhh! Tianmeng-ge! You're so good to me!"
Huo Yuhao's dead fish eyes instantly transformed into big, watery eyes! He reached out and pounced on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was in the spiritual world, so Huo Yuhao missed and ended up falling into Tang Wulin's arms.
