Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 298 Ling Luochen, Severely Injured
Inside the cave, Ling Luochen collapsed to the ground, extremely weak. Yuwen Tuo channeled his soul power into her and massaged her acupoints, gradually bringing her back to consciousness.

Ling Luochen's injuries were extremely severe. Her spine was fractured, indicating that she had suffered a severe blow. If it weren't for her strong soul power, which allowed her to endure until now, she would probably be dead by now.

"Sister Luo Chen, Sister Luo Chen."

In his hazy state, Ling Luochen seemed to hear the voice he knew and missed most.

She opened her eyes groggily and saw Yuwen Tuo with a joyful expression, saying to her, "That's great, you're finally awake! How did you get so badly injured?"

“Xiao Tuo?” Ling Luochen subconsciously reached out and stroked Yuwen Tuo’s face. “I’m dreaming again. It’s so nice to be able to dream of you once more before I die.”

"Sister Luo Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? You're perfectly fine." Xiao Xiao's little head blocked Yuwen Tuo's view.

"Xiao Xiao?" Ling Luochen asked in surprise, "Why are you in my dream too? This is the first time. Is it because dreams are more vivid before death?"

Xiao Xiao was so angry that her pigtails stood up straight. "Sister Luo Chen, you have no conscience! So you only dream about my Tuo Tuo, but never about me? So you're always alone with Tuo Tuo in your dreams?"

She never imagined that one day she would be jealous of someone else's dream.

Ling Luochen tried to get up, but as soon as she stood up, an excruciating pain shot through her back. She couldn't exert any force right now, otherwise her spine could break at any moment.

"hiss!"

As the Snow Princess, she had never suffered such a severe injury before, and for a moment she was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.

However, she also realized something. If she was in so much pain, could it be that she wasn't dreaming and that the person in front of her was really her younger brother, Yuwen Tuo?

"Sister Luo Chen, you can't move now, otherwise your spine will break and your upper body will lose support." Yuwen Tuo hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Ling Luo Chen. "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, I'll heal you quickly."

"Xiao Tuo, it really is you! I'm so glad to see you again!" Ling Luochen was a strong girl, but this was the first time she had ever been so weak and collapsed into Yuwen Tuo's arms. Her voice was choked with sobs, indicating that she had really gone through something terrible these past few days.

“Little girl, I sense a familiar presence on your back. Were you injured by the Titan Snow Demon?” the Crimson King asked.

The Titan Snow Demon race is one of the strongest races in the far north. Although its chieftain, the Titan Snow Demon King, is not among the top ten ferocious beasts, his actual combat power is not much inferior to that of the Crimson King.

If the battle were to take place in the far north, even Xiong Jun might not be able to easily defeat Titan Snow Demon King.

"It is indeed the Titan Snow Demon. She must have been injured by Atai's people." The Snow Empress also confirmed this within Yuwen Tuo's spiritual sea. As the queen of the far north, she wouldn't fail to recognize such a familiar aura.

“Yes, this senior has keen insight. I was indeed injured by the Titan Snow Demon, and it was a Titan Snow Demon that was 100,000 years old,” Ling Luochen said.

"Sister Luo Chen, how did you manage to provoke such a terrifying being? You came to the far north, you must have just come to hunt for your sixth spirit ring, right?" Yuwen Tuo asked in confusion.

Yuwen Tuo wasn't surprised by Ling Luochen's level increase. Ling Luochen hadn't had any extraordinary encounters recently. At twenty-one years old, breaking through to the Soul Emperor level at this age through normal cultivation was already quite remarkable.

After all, she hadn't even had a chance to give Yuwen Tuo the 100,000-year-old snow lotus soul bone yet.

As for the Star Luo Offering Hall, she had only just joined and had not yet made any contributions, so she would not be granted any particularly top-tier soul bones.

The problem is that even if a Soul Emperor comes to hunt for a Soul Ring, it's usually around 20,000 years at most. It's not normal to provoke a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.

Unless she's extremely unlucky and the soul beast she hunts is a child of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Just like when Yuwen Tuo killed the Evil Eye Tyrant who had existed for 100,000 years, it resulted in the emergence of that Evil Eye Tyrant ruler.

The Titan Snow Demons are said to be descendants of the ancient Ice God's encounter with the Titan Giants. In terms of sheer numbers, they surpass even the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. When they gather together, they are invincible in this frigid land. Titan Snow Demons are born over ten meters tall, and adult Titan Snow Demons can exceed fifty meters.

However, this race is small in number, and therefore, every Titan Snow Demon cherishes its offspring very much.

Ling Luochen said, "Yes, but what I hunted was not a Titan Snow Demon, but an Icefang Boar that was just over 20,000 years old."

"How could that be?" Vina asked in confusion, knowing that the Titan Snow Demon clan was fiercely protective of its own.

But no matter how much you try to protect your own, you can't protect Icefang Boar.

"So, it wasn't the Titan Snow Demon that attacked you, but rather one of you who deliberately provoked the Titan Snow Demon, right?" Qiu'er asked, as she also knew a little about this race.

"Sister Luo Chen, where are the people who came with you?" Yuwen Tuo had guessed what was going on.

Ling Luochen came to the far north to hunt for spirit rings. Theoretically, she shouldn't be alone. After all, she is a genius of the Hall of Worship, and she should have a Title Douluo protecting her.

Ling Luochen said, "There are seven people who came with me to hunt for spirit rings this time. Five of them, including myself, need spirit rings. Two need strength spirit rings, two are water-attribute and one is ice-attribute. They are all top nobles of the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, the Star Luo Empire sent two titled Douluo to escort us here. One is a strength-type giant Douluo with the spirit of Thousand-Pound Ant, and the other is a spirit-type Purple Spirit Douluo with the spirit of Purple Spirit Wolf."

Everyone nodded in agreement. According to this statement, the far north was indeed the most suitable place for them to hunt soul beasts.

Both water and ice attributes can be used with ice soul rings. If attribute is not a concern, there is no shortage of strength-type soul beasts in the far north. For example, the Ice Fang Boar that Ling Luochen hunted is a strength-type soul beast. As long as it is not incompatible with the ice attribute, it can be hunted if you need a strength-type soul ring.

Ling Luochen continued, "Originally, under the protection of the two Title Douluos, our hunt went very smoothly. I was the last one to complete the advancement. But just as we were preparing to return, Zi Ling Douluo discovered a Titan Snow Demon that was breaking through to the 100,000-year mark. They then had designs on it. Although the Titan Snow Demon was very strong, it was still at a critical moment in its breakthrough and its strength was not yet stable. Two against one might not be without a chance of victory. Although no one could obtain its spirit ring, a 100,000-year spirit bone was still an extremely precious treasure. Although the rest of us tried to dissuade them at the time, the two lords were determined and ultimately launched a surprise attack on the 100,000-year Titan Snow Demon."

"Hmph, humans are always so greedy!" Hyotei said angrily.

She could turn a blind eye to hunting soul beasts for the sake of advancing her level, but hunting them solely for the sake of soul bones was a major taboo for her.

Even if all of these people were killed by the Titan Snow Demon, she felt they deserved it!
