The fall of Snow Spirit City this time had the handiwork of Evil Soul Masters.
No one dared to say anything more.
The entire group migrated southward even faster.
Evil Soul Masters were quite numerous in this current barbaric era.
Because in this era, most humans were extremely ignorant.
They worshipped various deities.
Even evil gods had their dedicated followers.
And some Martial Souls were inherently closer to evil, or the Martial Souls themselves were evil, making those Soul Masters even more inclined to worship evil gods.
Some Evil Soul Masters specialized in slaughtering humans, drinking blood, and even consuming internal organs and other body parts.
Others would deliberately lure evil Soul Beasts to cooperate and achieve mutual benefits.
There were even organized groups among Evil Soul Masters.
It couldn’t be helped—in this era, ordinary Soul Masters didn’t even understand the basics of Martial Souls.
Some Soul Masters were so afraid of exploding and dying while absorbing Soul Rings that they chose to absorb an extra hundred-year Soul Ring instead.
Under such circumstances, the strength of human Soul Masters was completely inferior to that of Soul Beasts.
In such a situation, the emergence of Evil Soul Masters was only natural.
How fast Evil Soul Masters cultivated!
All they needed was to find a remote place, keep some humans captive, and regularly obtain blood sacrifices to accelerate their cultivation and strengthen their Soul Rings!
They could even use blood sacrifices to cultivate evil herbs, increasing their own foundation.
With almost no side effects, why wouldn’t Evil Soul Masters do such things?
In a sense, Evil Soul Masters were actually the stronger ones among human Soul Masters.
Now, after hearing that Evil Soul Masters were involved, no one in the southward-migrating group said anything more.
Even the speed of their migration increased significantly.
“With Evil Soul Masters around, we must stick together even more.” “But what if our escape is also part of the Evil Soul Masters’ plan?” A relatively rational female Soul Master in the group raised a question.
“No matter.
We just need to head to the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range,” the Stone Family Patriarch said calmly.
“With the Frost Dragon King in the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range, Evil Soul Masters would never dare to act recklessly.” “But if there are Evil Soul Masters on our way to the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range, we’re doomed.” “We must have someone scout ahead for dangers!” The Stone Family Patriarch looked at the few Soul Masters in the group.
Their Stone Family had the Profound Nether Turtle Martial Soul, which specialized in defense, making them unsuitable for scouting.
Upon hearing this, several Soul Ancestor experts quickly stepped forward from the group.
All of them had avian-type Martial Souls, making them perfect for scouting ahead.
… Meanwhile, in a mansion within Snow Spirit City.
Several Evil Soul Masters clad in black robes stood within a crimson-red formation, plotting something!
“Boss, quite a few people escaped from Snow Spirit City.
Shouldn’t we do something about it?” asked a burly but short Evil Soul Master.
“No need.
They won’t get far!” replied the leader, who had a delicate and handsome face, in a calm tone.
“Alright, everyone, channel your full power into the formation to lure the Bone-Devouring Owls into Snow Spirit City.
I’m going to turn this city into hell!” The leading Evil Soul Master sneered coldly, then activated his Soul Power.
Behind him, the phantom of a Brain-Eater Beast Martial Soul continuously solidified within a blood-red array, instantly emitting a nauseating bloody aura around them.
“Hehe, right, the boss is correct.” “As long as those Bone-Devouring Owls rampage and kill indiscriminately in Snow Spirit City, powerful evil energy will gather around it.
Once we absorb that evil energy, our strength will greatly increase, and none of those people will escape!” Among the Evil Soul Masters, a man who looked like a skinny monkey let out a sinister, cackling laugh.
…
Meanwhile.
Inside the cave of the Black Rhinoceros Tribe.
Due to the fall of Snow Spirit City, the Black Rhinoceros Tribe and the Snow Mastiff Tribe had ultimately chosen to ally.
Now, the cave was filled with the women and children of both tribes, with Chen Yu among them as well.
Chen Yu was currently cultivating the Ice Heart Formula while also trying to gather information about the situation outside.
Outside the cave, the warriors of the two tribes gathered together, listening to the instructions of their respective chieftains.
“With Snow Spirit City fallen, we will surely face the impact here.
Our two tribes have joined forces precisely to protect the safety of our people.” “But we cannot simply wait for danger to arrive.” “We need to find a safer place for the children and women.” The Ancient Rhinoceros Chieftain stood in the center of the crowd, looking at the warriors of both tribes as he spoke earnestly.
“But where is there any safe place around here?” “The surroundings are all Soul Beast Mountain Ranges and Soul Beast forests.
To reach other cities, we’d have to cross the Golden Blue River, traverse other mountain ranges, and travel over a thousand kilometers to reach Ancient Thunder City!” A warrior from the Snow Mastiff Tribe suddenly voiced his doubt.
“No, there is one safe place!” Old Crippled Dog suddenly spoke, his eyes gleaming with light in the dim cave.
Hearing this, everyone was startled!
They all understood what Old Crippled Dog meant!
“The territory of the Frost Dragon King!” Immediately afterward, the sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed throughout the cave.
The Frost Dragon King—that was a genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, and a True Dragon Type Soul Beast at that.
If they approached its territory, wouldn’t they instantly turn into ice shards?
“Although the Frost Dragon King values territorial awareness, what are we to it?” “We are so weak, merely insects within its domain.” “As long as we do not disturb the Frost Dragon King, we will be fine.” “Not to mention the even weaker women and children in the tribe.” Old Crippled Dog said seriously.
Hearing this, everyone in the cave fell silent.
This was indeed a last-resort plan.
Even mice have their own paths; being weak might ironically be their chance to survive.
“Since that’s the case, let us first send the bravest warriors of our tribes to scout the Frost Dragon King’s territory.” Soon, the leaders of the two tribes jointly decided on a new plan.
The strongest warriors from both tribes would escort the children and women to the territory of the Frost Dragon King.
Chen Yu and the others were among them.
However, before that, they still needed to check whether there were any other dangers in the Frost Dragon King’s territory.
Upon learning of the two tribes’ plan, Chen Yu’s heart sank.
The territory of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast—how dangerous a place was that?
If they encountered danger, there would truly be no escape.
But Chen Yu had no other choice.
He was still too weak and could only rely on the survival experience of the adults.
The Douluo Continent that Chen Yu had read about in his previous life, with all its methods of becoming stronger, was of no use to him at this moment.
He had no idea where he was now and was completely unfamiliar with his surroundings, like a blind man.
However, to increase his chances of survival, Chen Yu decided to teach the Ice Heart Formula to the Spirit Masters of the Snow Mastiff Tribe as well.
He hoped that by tomorrow, he would receive more feedback in spiritual power.
Chen Yu found the Ancient Rhinoceros Chieftain and explained his idea of spreading the Ice Heart Formula.
Upon hearing this, the Ancient Rhinoceros Chieftain tugged at his beard and eventually nodded.
The Ice Heart Formula not only increased cultivation speed but also accelerated Soul Power recovery.
This would be beneficial for both tribes in facing the challenges ahead!
Thus, Chen Yu began teaching the Ice Heart Formula to the Spirit Masters of the Snow Mastiff Tribe without holding anything back.
Whenever there was something they didn’t understand, Chen Yu patiently explained it.
