Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 97: Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Tens of Thousands of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts (1)

At noon, the sun was scorching and everything was exposed under the scorching sun, as if it had temporarily lost its vitality. Even the bustling streets of Tiandou City seemed to be a little quieter, with only the faint sounds of talking and laughing coming from the small shops beside the street.

The fountain on the side of the road was still spraying water as usual, but under the scorching sun, the rising water vapor quickly evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

After leaving Tiandou City, everyone flew towards the northeast of Tiandou City. After about dozens of kilometers, the four people noticed a large lush forest from a distance.

After thousands of years of development, much of the original Sunset Forest has disappeared, but fortunately it is still a Soul Hunting Forest, so the area is still not small, but the number and quality of soul beasts in it are somewhat disappointing.

In this forest, even the most powerful soul beast probably only has a thousand years of cultivation, and most soul beasts have only a hundred or ten years of cultivation. There are many species, but the quality is uniformly poor. However, because it is so close to Tiandou City, some soul beasts captured from other places will be released from time to time to maintain a barely sustainable ecological cycle.

Otherwise, it won’t be long before the soul beasts here become completely extinct, and the area will degenerate into an ordinary forest, which will eventually be developed by humans...

The four people were flying at an altitude of about one thousand meters. Looking down from this height, the four people easily discovered the light mist covering the entire forest.

"That's miasma, a poisonous gas formed when dead animals or plants are left unattended and unexposed to wind and rain. The toxicity of this thing varies, depending entirely on the cause of the miasma and the environment."

"The deeper we go into the Sunset Forest, the thicker the miasma becomes. In the end, the miasma has even turned into seven colors, proving that its toxicity is enough to easily kill humans and even soul beasts."

Shu Yan said softly.

Xue Di released his mental power and instantly got a rough idea of ​​the situation more than ten kilometers ahead.

"The deeper we go, the thicker the seven-colored miasma and marsh gas become. At its thickest, it can even be found at an altitude of about 300 meters. Our target is there, right?"

Shu Yan nodded and said softly:
"Yes, fly to the place where the miasma is the most concentrated. There should be a canyon there now, with a height difference of more than 300 meters. On the periphery, there is a green phosphorus poison array composed of tens of thousands of Green Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers and Green Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers. Ten thousand years have passed, and these Green Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers and even Green Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers have grown into plant-type soul beasts. They themselves are blessed with the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom, the most poisonous in the world. Although we have the ultimate ice to protect our bodies, these toxins are almost ineffective in our eyes, but it is still better to be careful."

Bingdi sneered disdainfully after hearing this, and then interrupted:
"Why worry? Xue'er and I are here with you. Forget about the poison. Even if seven or eight hundred thousand year old spirit beasts come, they won't be enough for us to fight. The ultimate ice restrains all poisons, or any ultimate attribute can completely suppress the poisons that have not reached the ultimate level. With Xue'er and I here, you and Jiujiu can rest assured."

Although Bingdi's words sounded a bit arrogant, they were the truth.

The soul power in Xue Di's hand surged, and then turned into an ice-blue diamond-shaped ice crystal the size of an egg. Bing Di also condensed a green diamond-shaped ice crystal in the same way. Then she took the one in Xue Di's hand, looked at Xu Jiujiu with a smile, and then said with a smile:

"Good boy, don't move. Let me give you another layer of protection..."

Xu Jiujiu smiled helplessly and let Bingdi merge the two ice crystals into his body.

Two ice crystals entered the body, and then one of them entered Xu Jiujiu's spiritual sea, and the other moved towards her dantian. The two extreme ices quickly began to merge without hurting or affecting Xu Jiujiu, and then left a seemingly thin, transparent white film on Xu Jiujiu's body.

"This is the ice crystal condensed from the original soul power of Bing'er and me. It has the purest ultimate ice and ultimate ice snow. The energy in it is enough to make Jiujiu temporarily immune to external toxins and other problems. It can also purify the air and external energy. The soul power left by Bing'er and I can last for about three days. If you can't use it up in the end, you can just refine it. Don't worry, it won't harm you."

Snow Emperor said softly.

"Thank you Sister Xue, Sister Bingbing..."

Xu Jiujiu thanked her softly. Although her own starlight attribute also had a certain degree of resistance to toxins, the toxins here were not affected by ordinary toxins. With the protection of the two emperors of ice and snow, she could enter with peace of mind.

As he was speaking, Shu Yan, who had been observing the terrain and the thickness of the poisonous cloud below, suddenly spoke up:
"That's it, let's go down."

The terrain below has shown a tilted trend, and the poisonous clouds and miasma are so thick that you can't see anything from above, and you don't know what the situation is below.

Xue Di looked at the thick poisonous cloud and miasma, then gently stretched out a white finger. She concentrated her soul power at one point and let it fly out at a high speed like a ray. Finally, a huge noise was heard from the poisonous cloud and miasma below. The next moment, the cold suddenly came, and the poisonous barrier that was originally almost flawless was torn open by the rising ice spikes, revealing the colorful vegetation below and the thick miasma that was rapidly recovering to its original state.

The four of them landed steadily from the hole. A terrifying air wave swept over five meters around them, instantly turning countless colorful vegetation into fragments and juice on the ground.

But unexpectedly, although this colorful world below was still very poisonous, it was not as terrifying as the poisonous clouds or even miasma above.

The poison barrier in this colorful world is colorful, and the ground is covered with all kinds of strange and brightly colored vegetation. These vegetation are too lush, and even the land cannot appear in the sight of the four people due to their thick leaves and petals.

Because the colorful poison barrier here was not as thick as that in the outside world, the vision was not blocked when looking up. Xue Di pointed again in the downhill direction at some angle, and then the poisonous vegetation along the way was frozen at an extremely terrifying speed. The cold air was pervasive, and even the colorful poison barrier seemed to be pushed aside.

"Let's go. There's not much moisture in the air here. Otherwise, I can turn this place into an area similar to the Frozen Forest with just a thought. That way, it will be much easier for us to move around."

Xue Di took the lead and walked down the frozen road. Bing Di followed holding Xu Jiujiu's hand. Shu Yan looked around, sighed, and hurriedly followed.

The danger level here is no less than that in the depths of the mixed circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, but with Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor leading him, he naturally has nothing to worry about, and feels as casual as if he were out traveling.

After walking for about ten minutes, the four of them stopped in front of a huge skeleton exposed on the rock. The original white bones had now turned into colorful colors. The rich and strange colors matched the strange atmosphere around them. Undoubtedly, this must be an extremely terrifying scene. And just like this scene, the deeper you go, the more you will see.

“Tsk tsk, the poison barrier here is still very strong. This is a weird cycle in itself. These corpses produce miasma, and they themselves are the nutrients of the poison barrier. In the future, the poison barrier will continue to kill the surrounding soul beasts, and the corpses will produce miasma again. The nutrients will continue to accumulate. I’m afraid that in a few years, this place will become a real poison barrier forest. At that time, tsk tsk…”

Bingdi sighed, but still didn't feel anything else. No matter whether it was poisonous or not, it had no effect on her.

Xue Di looked into the distance and spoke softly:
"The poison barrier here, as well as the miasma and poisonous clouds outside, all show signs of human manipulation. Otherwise, with the environment and terrain here, these poison barriers and miasma would not be able to stay so obediently in this range. I feel a big drop ahead. There are a large and terrifying number of plant-type soul beasts nearby. The poison barrier is more toxic than here. As for the bottom, I feel the thick poisonous cloud slowly sinking, and then, there seems to be an extremely strange energy..."

The four of them did not stay there for too long. Led by Xue Di, they moved quickly at a height of about three or four meters above the ground, and soon they came to a green world that was completely different from the previous one.

There are no other colorful vegetation on the ground here, but the colorful poison barrier still exists. Instead, within the field of vision, large patches of emerald green luster appear, with a dwarf emerald green plant arranged as a whole. A light emerald green mist rises up and gradually spreads to the surrounding area.

These green plants are not very tall, only about half a meter.

But their appearances are extremely uniform. They all have nine leaves like human hands, except that some of these leaves have seven fingers, while others have nine fingers.

At the top of these plants, there is a large emerald green flower, and the emerald green mist is released from the stamens of these large flowers.

Looking through these green vegetation and with the help of mental strength, Shu Yan could clearly see the scene behind these green vegetation.

Large amounts of miasma and poisonous clouds are slowly descending and settling. The concentration there is even more than one times higher than that outside. The downward deposition of miasma and poisonous clouds means that the terrain there must be much lower than other places. It seems that they are only a short distance away from their true destination.

Just as Xue Di was about to make a move again to clear the way, Shu Yan stopped her.

"Sister Xue, don't be so direct here."

Shu Yan said helplessly:
Snow Emperor paused for a moment, then said softly:

"Tell me why."

Shu Yan sighed lightly, and then explained:
"It's very simple. The plants in front are called the Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers. They are one of the most poisonous plants in the world. They are known as the most corrosive and even have a poison that can directly endanger nerves. The Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers surrounding this canyon are at least one kilometer wide. Many of them have even evolved to the level of the Nine Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers, which means they have become plant-type soul beasts. The Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers themselves have the status of a king in the plant world. In other words, those Nine Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers that have become soul beasts have at least ten thousand years of cultivation."

"Faced with tens of thousands of ten thousand year old soul beasts, it would be fine if we could kill them in one strike, but if we can't wipe them out in one strike, once they start to organize a resistance, coupled with the special environment here that is favorable to them, the green phosphorus poisonous cloud they condense together can even easily knock down a Super Douluo, and then we will be in real trouble."

Xue Di was slightly stunned, then she slowly withdrew her hand. She was confident that she could kill all these guys, but as Shu Yan said, this was a completely unnecessary thing and doing it would only bring trouble to herself.

"Of course, it's not difficult for us to get through here. These guys are afraid of the severe cold. Whether it's your Emperor Hantian, Sister Xue, or the Everfreeze Realm of the Ice Emperor, we can easily get through if we control the range of their use."

Bingdi's eyes lit up, and the next moment, a ray of emerald green light suddenly burst out from her body, and then turned into a shield with a diameter of about five meters.

"Let's go. It's so simple. I was just thinking about flying over there, but I found that there are poisonous barriers even in the air 700 to 800 meters above. The poisonous barrier above the valley is so thick that it is unimaginable. It is almost condensed into substance. Moreover, the surrounding poisonous barriers are still gathering there. It will undoubtedly take a lot of effort to take this route."

With the help of Ice Emperor's weakened version, the Realm of Eternal Frozen, the four of them quickly passed through the endless stretches of Green Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers and Green Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers, and finally arrived at the edge of the valley.

The edge of the valley is very sharp, as smooth as if it had been cut by a knife.

Inside the countless green phosphorus poisonous clouds, there are still countless colorful poisonous barriers. The rich green and colorful colors almost occupy the entire world in front. It is true, just as Bingdi said, if you want to directly enter the valley below from the sky, you have to penetrate the poisonous barrier that is more than one thousand meters deep and is like a real thing. Just think about it, it is a losing business.

Ice Emperor did not withdraw the weakened version of the Eternal Frozen Realm. She led the charge and then flew downwards with the three of them.

On the way, Xue Di killed several colorful vines that had been cultivated for thousands of years with a sword. When the light appeared again, all the miasma and poisonous clouds suddenly disappeared, and the vision that was originally blocked suddenly became bright again.

Although he expected that there must be something extraordinary down there, Shu Yan couldn't help but be shocked until he saw it with his own eyes.

The three women of the Snow Emperor also had dull looks in their eyes. The air was fresh and full of life. The elemental energy of heaven and earth, which was so rich that it was almost tangible, was almost inexhaustible in this space.

The sky here was colorful, and the whole world was as gorgeous and moving as a dreamy fairyland. All the stone walls not far behind them and in the distance were covered with thick dark blue vines. They were the same species as the soul beasts that attacked them before, but the vines below were much more beautiful, less murderous, and more full of life...

It is hard to imagine that, amidst countless terrors and crises, it is no longer a more terrifying hell, but a true paradise on earth, an existence like a fairyland...
