Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 145: Give Them a Little Shock in the Extreme North
Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb fell into deep thought. It wasn't particularly interested in leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Because this place was highly conducive to the growth of plant-type soul beasts, it felt that its cultivation here was excellent.
The environment was rich in heaven and earth energy, very safe, and everyone coexisted harmoniously without fighting. Therefore, it was quite satisfied with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
If it moved elsewhere, it believed its cultivation speed would slow significantly—an undoubtedly unfavorable prospect for Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb.
However, if Tang San's true descendants came and tried to seize the treasures, wouldn't all its years—and even its life—be for nothing?
For a moment, Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb hesitated.
On one hand, it wanted to survive; on the other, it hoped to continue improving itself—perhaps one day becoming a god as a soul beast!
At this moment, Infernal Delicate Apricot, whose entire body burned with flames, spoke coldly: "Youyou, don't be fooled by this human. I think what Huo Yuhao said earlier was just rhetoric. Even if Tang San truly was as he said, wouldn't Huo Yuhao be the same?"
"We are soul beasts, and we are inherently in a hostile state with human soul masters. Do you think Huo Yuhao wants us to follow him for our soul rings and bones?"
Few immortal herbs near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well could open their spiritual wisdom. Mainly because immortal herbs are inherently special, and it's much harder for them to develop spiritual intelligence than ordinary soul beasts.
Therefore, soul beasts like Infernal Delicate Apricot, capable of opening their spiritual wisdom, are in the minority.
As a result, Infernal Delicate Apricot wielded considerable influence in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Even if it was an Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, it had to consider the other's opinion.
"Jiaojiao," Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, influenced by her hot-tempered elder sister, also became somewhat confused. Because what Infernal Delicate Apricot said made some sense.
How could a human soul master not be greedy for their soul rings and bones? Huo Yuhao was no different.
At this moment, Infernal Delicate Apricot shook its fiery red body and declared confidently: "Huo Yuhao, if you want to take us away, then prove your strength. If your strength is sufficient, the immortal herbs here will willingly follow you. If not, then forget it."
"That's what you said," Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, and the crisp sound echoed through the valley.
Immediately, the three spirit souls—who had been inspecting the condition of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—flew over.
Tianmeng, Bingdi, and Xuedi had been secretly listening to Huo Yuhao's words just now.
On one hand, because Huo Yuhao was crucial to them and a strong guarantee of becoming a god, they couldn't afford to lose him. On the other hand, they were more interested in what Huo Yuhao had just revealed.
From his words, it seemed Huo Yuhao knew some secrets about the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Of course, the three spirit souls accepted this, since in their eyes, Huo Yuhao was a reincarnated god, and it was normal for him to know secrets.
"Snow Empress, take action."
Huo Yuhao wanted the Snow Empress to give these soul beasts a little shock from the Extreme North.
The Snow Empress didn't refuse. As the strongest soul beast in the Extreme North, she had extensive experience in teaching soul beasts a lesson.
After all, she hadn't been the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North when she was born.
When she was born, she was talented but only of average strength. She had to establish her position through battles with other soul-beasts.
At this moment, the Snow Empress flew above the extremely cold Ice Spring. She absorbed the breath of the spring, restoring her adult form, appearing unattainable, with a unique and elegant aura.
A large amount of ice and snow began to fall from the sky, sharply lowering the temperature.
The plants near the extremely cold Ice Spring remained unaffected, as they loved the cold.
However, the plant soul beasts near the Blazing Fire Spring shivered under the cold breath.
Huo Yuhao felt some pressure himself, but fortunately, he had absorbed high-quality soul bones over time, which greatly increased his tolerance.
The Snow Empress's expression was cold. She extended her hand, causing the Extreme Cold Ice Spring to instantly erupt in chaos—yes, it was a riot. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were divided into the Blazing Fire Spring and the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, which complemented each other.
Plant-type soul beasts like Infernal Delicate Apricot mostly grew near the Blazing Fire Spring.
A vast stream of water from the extremely cold Ice Spring rose into the air, falling toward the Infernal Delicate Apricot like an unstoppable river. At the same time, the Snow Empress created a shield to block the water from the Blazing Fire Spring.
This was undoubtedly bad news for Infernal Delicate Apricot, which thrived near the Blazing Fire Spring. Prolonged exposure to the cold water from the Extreme Cold Ice Spring would likely cause serious injury or death.
Although the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb could protect it from external poisons, facing the threats inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the 10,000-year-old immortal herb had no effective means of defense.
"How can the Extreme Cold Ice Spring be triggered by someone? Who are you?" Infernal Delicate Apricot exclaimed in surprise. "You're not human at all. The young man next to you is human! Stop it!"
It sensed a terrifying chill spreading through the valley.
In this environment, its strength would be suppressed.
The Snow Empress stopped the rushing water mid-air and then struck a nearby plant-type soul beast with her palm. The ground cracked, and the beast was instantly destroyed.
"Follow Huo Yuhao. I don't want to repeat myself," the Snow Empress said softly, her tone commanding.
Infernal Delicate Apricot felt the overwhelming aura from the Snow Empress. The other's strength was proof that she was an existence not to be trifled with.
Even such a powerful being obeyed Huo Yuhao's orders. This meant Huo Yuhao was exceptionally strong.
After a moment of hesitation, Infernal Delicate Apricot thought it was better to follow orders. After all, its life was more important. If it was killed now, all its years of hard training would be wasted. It still wanted to become a powerful soul beast like Di Tian!
As for relying on Tang San for help—honestly, it hadn't seen Tang San in 10,000 years and couldn't count on him.
"Okay," it responded immediately.
Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb was stunned. It had provoked Huo Yuhao, but when the other displayed such strength, it swiftly kneeled.
