Chapter 631 The Border of the Far North
The border of the far north.
"This tree fruit is quite good; it can still sprout so vigorously in the dead of winter. I should take one back and see if I can plant it."
In the vast expanse of snow, a figure is bending over, staring at the snow on the ground, occasionally reaching out to rummage through it and obtain some plants and seeds.
"Boss, if we don't hurry, we might not be able to escape the blizzard," Feng Shiyi said helplessly.
Xiao Ye No. 3 had been collecting fruit seeds along the road, and the reconnaissance team ahead had returned with multiple reconnaissance reports.
"Take one more! Just one!" Little Leaf No. 3 chuckled, placing the fruit and seeds in his hand into two wooden boxes and then into his storage ring.
The wind and snow whipped Feng Shiyi's thick, warm cloak, and the howling frost revealed a visible phenomenon of extremely low temperatures.
"Captain, a group of Ice Fang Beasts has been spotted about twenty miles to the left. Should we detour around them?" A tall woman appeared before Feng Shiyi and reported.
"Ice Fang Beasts, these little things may be small in size, but they have a high burst of power. There's no need for us to clash. Let's go around them," Feng Shiyi decisively ordered.
In this far northern region, it's best to avoid team battles as much as possible, as the thick snow and unpredictable weather add too many uncertainties.
"Ice Fang Beast, huh? I remember that this kind of soul beast is herbivorous, and it usually carries many seeds in its caves." Little Leaf No. 3 rubbed his hands together, showing great interest.
Seeing that Xiao Ye No. 3 was very interested, the tall woman and the vice-captain of Hunter Squad Thirty looked at Feng Shiyi with a helpless expression.
She had heard many rumors about Xiaoye No. 3's interest in agriculture, but finding seeds in this snowstorm seemed inappropriate.
"Boss, we're not here to play around. Your good brother is waiting for you to hunt for him." Feng Shiyi grabbed Xiao Ye No. 3's arm and pulled him forward.
Xiao Ye No. 3 flicked his finger and released a burst of soul power, which landed on the snow and rose up as an icy road sign.
After finishing, Xiao Ye No. 3's eyes suddenly lit up with blue light, and his soul power aura rose rapidly.
"Boss?" Feng Shiyi naturally sensed the change in Xiao Ye No. 3's aura and remembered what this phenomenon meant.
"Looks like we're moving at a good pace; we've already reached the Cloud Plateau." Ye Nanxiao turned his neck and looked around.
"No need to take the detour, you should come back first." Feng Shiyi's eyes lit up as she spoke to the tall woman.
The tall woman nodded in greeting, then transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared into the snowstorm.
"It's been so long since I've been back. It's a pity I don't have a respiratory system now." Ye Nanxiao rubbed his head and bent down to grab a handful of snow.
"I thought you would come when we reached our destination, but we are still quite a distance from Cloud Cliff." Feng Shiyi explained the current situation.
"Why is there a bunch of fruit in my storage ring?" Ye Nanxiao checked the storage ring on his clone's body, wanting to check the armory inside, but found a bunch of fruit and seeds.
"Your clone has become obsessed with farming. Now, whenever it sees seeds from other places, it thinks of going back to plant them. What strange hobby have you awakened this time?" Feng Shiyi rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao.
"Farming, well, that's a pretty good hobby. Maybe it's because the bloodline in my brain was awakened after I was awakened." Ye Nanxiao scratched his head.
After all, deep within his mind lay memories of the Blue Star, and as a descendant of the Great Yan, his very bloodline held a profound love for the land.
"The selection is pretty good, the quality is all quite good, as expected of me!" Ye Nanxiao smiled and cleared out a section in his storage ring specifically to store these seeds.
Who knows, one day I might finally be able to ride the waves and live a retired life.
Men till the fields and women weave, the sounds of chickens and dogs fill the air—a dream of paradise.
"Let's go." Feng Shiyi pulled her robe tighter around herself.
Except for Xiaoye No. 3, they were all fully armed.
Although those who attain the Soul Saint level are immune to water and fire, and are not afraid of cold or heat, that is in relation to ordinary temperatures in nature.
The cold of the far north is not just about temperature; it also involves various icy soul forces that linger in the air.
Like the soul beast clans of the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul beasts of the far north also possess a sense of territory, and they will actively release their soul power to condense frost and cold winds to divide areas in groups.
It can be said that the ice in the far north, apart from the eternal ice, is all made by soul beasts, which is why the fierce winds of the tundra carry a large amount of soul power.
Feng Shiyi and the others had no choice but to wear soul-guided armor and specially made cloaks.
However, Ye Nanxiao was completely unafraid of the icy soul power carried by the fierce winds of the frozen plains, not to mention that he was currently using the body of a clone.
Furthermore, his own martial soul is the ultimate ice, and he also possesses the Frozen Flower and the blessing of the Frost God, making him fearless of the cold of frost.
"Let the Ao Niu team come back. We're about to enter the Cloud Cliff area. The mountain winds up there are too strong. Now that I'm here, there's no need for them to go ahead and keep watch."
"I'm a social butterfly from the far north!" Ye Nanxiao used hair gel to style his hair into a slicked-back look.
"I don't remember that all the soul beasts in this far north are female." Feng Shiyi rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao and took out her soul communication device to contact the hunter team thirty ahead.
Within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, several figures appeared in Ye Nanxiao's line of sight.
"Hunter Team Thirty, Turtle Bull Team reporting." A burly woman knelt on one knee in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Looking at the tall and strong woman in front of him, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, like Nezha from the Ten Cold Nezha.
"Well done, leave the rest to me, you all follow behind me." Ye Nanxiao reached out and patted Ao Niu's broad shoulders.
"But boss, our purpose in coming here is to ensure your and the captain's safety!" Ao Niu hurriedly said.
Their team's purpose on this trip was to protect, so how could a guard hide behind his master?
The other five members of the Ao Niu squad also knelt down on one knee, begging Ye Nanxiao to rescind his order.
"Alright, get up, everyone. This is the far north, I know it very well." Ye Nanxiao reached out to help Ao Niu up, and casually brushed the frost off her shoulders.
Ao Niu's expression changed. Her martial soul was the Four-Horned Bull, a powerful soul beast that was extremely good at physical combat. Moreover, she herself was extremely heavy, yet the boss helped her up.
"The boss's power is even greater than mine!" Ao Niu thought in surprise.
The tall woman, the vice-captain of Ao Niu, wanted to say something more, after all, she was a servant of the emperor and should share his burdens.
"Alright, your boss is quite the social butterfly here, come back and rest for a bit," Feng Shiyi said.
Seeing that Feng Shiyi had also spoken, the Ao Niu team could only follow closely behind Ye Nanxiao.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Cloud Cliff, let's go find that group of Ice Fang Beasts at the foot of the mountain first. Those restless fellows know a lot of gossip." Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a gentle breeze rippled from his body, dispelling the scattered soul power in the surrounding air.
Ao Niu and the others only felt a warm breeze, and then they no longer felt so cold.
"Is this the power of the boss? It's truly inspiring!" Ao Niu's eyes gleamed with admiration.
After Ye Nanxiao arrived, the entire team no longer hesitated but advanced at high speed, and soon encountered the group of Ice Fang Beasts that had been discovered by the Ao Niu team earlier.
"Hey!"
The Ice Fang Beast is about the size of a Corgi, but with large ears and a pair of small fangs peeking out. Its bright, lively eyes always seem to be full of curiosity. Its well-developed limbs allow it to walk upright like a human, making it look like a cute, big-headed beast when it stands up.
"Nar, bring two of them over here!" Ye Nanxiao waved to the Ice Fang Beast pack.
Upon hearing the sound, the Ice Fang Beasts all turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, their thousands of round eyes staring at him.
A moment later, two Ice Fang Beasts, each a size larger, suddenly rushed out and galloped toward Ye Nanxiao, kicking up a lot of snow and wind in their wake.
"Boss! There are more than twenty Ice Fang Beasts! And they are all Soul Beasts with more than eight thousand years of cultivation!" Ao Niu shouted hurriedly, and the team quickly went on alert.
A herd of more than twenty beasts, each over eight thousand years old, is enough to destroy a large town; this is a large, high-risk herd.
"It's alright." Feng Shiyi reached out to stop Ao Niu. "Relax."
Ao Niu looked anxiously at Ye Nanxiao, but what she saw next made her doubt the accuracy of her information.
When the two Ice Fang Beasts, clearly leaders, were five steps away from Ye Nanxiao, they stopped abruptly, revealing their pale blue fangs. They circled around Ye Nanxiao, and after confirming some information, they lay down on the snow, exposing their soft bellies.
Ye Nanxiao reached out with both hands and stroked the Ice Fang Beast's belly; its milky-white fur was very smooth.
"Narnar, tell me, are there any Silver Mirror Beasts on the Cloud Cliff?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Hey?" The two leader Ice Fang Beasts stared blankly at Ye Nanxiao.
"Tell your brother if there's this beast up there, and I'll give you something delicious to eat!" Ye Nanxiao took out a few meatballs from his storage ring and also took out a picture of the Silver Mirror Beast.
"Hey hey!" The two Ice Fang Beasts looked longingly at the meatballs in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
The rich aroma attracted them, and their instincts guided them to pounce and hunt wildly, but the fear deep in their blood made them obey the humanoid ice block in front of them.
"Hey hey! Hey!" The two Ice Fang Beasts stood up straight, their short arms gesturing wildly. They pointed to the top of the mountain, then to their own big heads, and then, with their short arms, they rubbed their heads and slowly lowered them.
"I see, I see." Ye Nanxiao stuffed the meatballs into the arms of the two leader Ice Fang Beasts, and while the Ice Fang Beasts were eating, he frantically rubbed their heads.
"Let's go, the Silver Mirror Beast is up there." Ye Nanxiao took out all the meatballs from his storage ring and scattered them out.
The Ice Fang Beasts that had been blocking the way immediately took off chasing after Meatball.
"Keep an eye on that big, stupid wolf from the Snow Wolf Tribe next time. There'll be a reward!" Ye Nanxiao pinched the Ice Fang Beast's ear, then slapped the ground, and a large chunk of floating ice instantly condensed and rose up.
"Everyone, come up here!"
"Takeoff!"
