Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 89, Section 88: The Hunt, The Fourth Soul Ring (Part 2)

Looking at the size of the three-eyed ice fox droppings in front of him, Ling Bingtian marveled at his good fortune.

As the years go by, the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's body will gradually grow larger.

A three-eyed blizzard fox that is ten or a hundred years old is roughly the same size as the white foxes that some noble ladies like to keep.

However, when the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's cultivation level reached the thousand-year level, the situation was completely different.

Their size will increase rapidly in a short period of time, until they cultivate for ten thousand years, and then gradually shrink.

The piece of Three-Eyed Ice Fox feces currently in front of Ling Bingtian is roughly the size of what a Three-Eyed Ice Fox with a cultivation level of around 5,000 or 50,000 years would produce.

Based on the subtle fluctuations of soul power emanating from it, Ling Bingtian was certain that this was a three-eyed Ice Fox with a cultivation level of around 50,000 years, and it wasn't too far away from him.

After all, if we were to convert it into human excrement, this piece would still be considered warm...

In addition, Ling Bingtian was already excited by the fact that the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, a soul beast, would begin to live a solitary life when it cultivated for five hundred years.

However, the Ling family has always emphasized the principle of strategically despising the enemy while tactically taking them seriously, and this principle has been deeply ingrained in his bones over the past few years.

Realizing that there was a soul beast with a cultivation level of about 50,000 years not far from him, Ling Bingtian immediately became vigilant.

With a gentle shift of his soul power, the Phoenix Ice Armor covered his body.

Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul, Possession!

From this moment on, Ling Bingtian began to demonstrate the combat experience he had learned over the past three years.

With a unique flapping motion characteristic of the Ling family, Ling Bingtian slowly took flight.

Strangely, the sound he made when he took flight was extremely faint.

Silent Wings!

This is a flight technique summarized and passed down by the Ling family's ancestors who possessed flying-type martial souls. It allows flying-type soul masters to minimize noise when flying.

Of course, correspondingly, the flight speed will be greatly reduced when using silent wings.

However, Ling Bingtian was not pursuing flight speed at the moment. Using his silent wings, he slowly flew to the giant tree in front of him and steadily stopped less than 1 meter above the tree, where he began to observe.

After being possessed by the Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul, Ling Bingtian's eyesight was greatly enhanced, allowing him to easily spot small figures in the distance.

Even a mosquito the size of a soybean, fluttering its wings hundreds of meters away, couldn't escape Ling Bingtian's eyes. If it flew any further, it would be eaten by a frog poised to pounce.

Of course, the mosquitoes weren't the main point; the main point was the huge, white, moving figure further away.

It has a slender body, yet is nearly five meters tall. Its entire body is covered with soft, long white fur. Its limbs are coiled up, and all three eyes are closed. Combined with the large skeleton in front of it, it is not hard to tell that it is resting after eating.

It was the Three-Eyed Ice Fox that Ling Bingtian was looking for!

Upon discovering it, Ling Bingtian didn't rush to take action but instead observed it first.

It has fluffy white fur, strong and powerful muscle lines, and most importantly, a third eye located between its eyebrows with several black lines.

These characteristics all prove that Ling Bingtian's guess was correct.

This is a three-eyed Ice Fox with a cultivation level of about 50,000 years, which is perfect for Ling Bingtian to absorb at this moment.

Licking his slightly dry lips, Ling Bingtian's excitement and joy slowly transformed into rationality and indifference.

The hunt has begun!

Ling Bingtian slowly jumped down from the tree and began to move forward quietly. He stopped when he was about a thousand meters away from the resting Three-Eyed Ice Fox and hid behind a giant tree.

The deep purple first soul ring behind him, strengthened by the bones of the Frost Dragon, lit up, and an ice bow covered with phoenix patterns appeared in Ling Bingtian's hand.

Ice Crystal Phoenix's first soul skill - Ice Martial Condensation!

Soon, a phoenix phantom also quietly appeared and quietly merged into Ling Bingtian's body, unlike its usual loud cry.

If a truly powerful high-level ice-attribute soul master were here, they would likely discover that within the ice arrow condensed by Ling Bingtian's other hand, there was also explosive energy flowing within it, ready to detonate at any moment.

Ice Phoenix Soul! Ice Explosion!

Having unleashed his three great soul skills, Ling Bingtian no longer waited. He nocked an arrow on his ice bow, aimed at the approximate location of the three-eyed ice fox's third eye, and drew a full moon bow.

"go."

Ling Bingtian silently recited the command in his mind, then released his hand from the bowstring.

"call out--"

The moment Ling Bingtian released his grip, the ice arrow shot out, the sound of tearing through the air echoing throughout the space.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the sound of the ice arrow tearing through the air, the three-eyed Ice Fox suddenly opened its eyes, and its three eyes immediately locked onto the incoming arrow.

The three-eyed Ice Fox's three enormous eyes, each the size of a watermelon, instantly filled with rage.

Although it hasn't existed for 50,000 years, it has existed for tens of thousands of years.

In its long life, it had naturally seen arrows more than once.

In its memory, many of its companions had died from attacks by these little creatures when they were young.

Now, while it is resting, some humans dare to shoot it with such things. How can it not be angry?

With a long cry, the 50,000-year-old Three-Eyed Ice Fox stretched out its body, trying to dodge the arrow shot by Ling Bingtian with an unimaginable reaction speed.

Unfortunately, Ling Bingtian, who had already fought dozens or even hundreds of battles, would never give it such an opportunity to completely evade this wave of attacks.

The moment Ling Bingtian saw the Three-Eyed Ice Fox react and sensed that the ice arrow was almost within range, he did not hesitate at all. His third spirit ring behind him burst forth with dazzling black light!

Almost the instant the black light burst forth, the ice arrow flying in mid-air suddenly expanded and exploded before the Three-Eyed Ice Fox could move!

Ling Bingtian's third soul generation, derived from the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, was also strengthened by the energy left behind by the Ice God in the bones of the Frost Ice Dragon's body, and has now reached a level of about fifty thousand years. Naturally, the Ice Explosion Soul Skill attached to Ling Bingtian is also more powerful.

The explosion of the ice arrow caught the three-eyed ice fox, which was not far from it, completely off guard.

In its tens of thousands of years of lifespan, this is the first time it has ever seen an ice arrow that can explode.

Therefore, it made no preparations whatsoever, only twisting its body in the direction it originally intended to avoid.

The ice-attribute soul power attached to the ice arrow and the incredibly hard and sharp ice shards scattered from the explosion of the ice arrow immediately shot towards the three-eyed ice fox not far away, cutting bloody marks on its body, and the ice-attribute soul power even froze its two forelimbs.

Most seriously, a sharp shard of ice pierced straight into its third eye, located between its eyebrows.

"Waaah—"

In an instant, the Three-Eyed Ice Fox let out a huge scream and rolled on the ground.

The bloody scratches from the ice shards on its body were no big problem for this three-eyed ice fox. In its lifespan of tens of thousands of years, such injuries were nothing.

However, the ice shard that pierced its third eye caused considerable damage. Furthermore, because the Mystic Ice Realm required control through its third eye, it was unable to unleash its signature skills.

This unexpected and severe injury became its final death sentence.
