Chapter 47 Ice Prison Tiger Clan Chief - Super Ferocious Beast
"Xiaobai, Youheng, think about it. This spirit ring comes from the Abyss Ice Prison Tiger, which is why we must be even more cautious!" Xue Di's tone was unusually serious. "This kind of legendary ancient spirit beast, even I thought it had long been extinct in the far north. But since they have survived to this day, and even have individuals at the 100,000-year level, it means..."
Dai Youheng chimed in, "I understand. This means that beneath this endless abyss covered by glaciers beneath our feet, there is very likely a complete and unknown Abyss Ice Tiger clan hidden! A clan that has survived from ancient times to the present day must possess formidable strength and resources! Even though Xiaobai is powerful, he may not be their match."
Xiao Bai's expression changed slightly, and she instantly understood Dai Youheng and Xue Di's worries.
Xue Di nodded and continued her analysis, "Think back to the behavior of that 100,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger. Although it was severely injured, it was not completely incapacitated. Yet, seeing that we had left its cubs behind, it showed no intention of risking its life to rescue them. Instead, it fled alone without hesitation. There are only two possibilities: either it is so cold-blooded that it doesn't care about the life or death of its offspring, but that goes against the nature of most soul beasts."
"Then, the more likely scenario is the second one." The Snow Empress's voice carried a chill. "It knew that in its severely injured state, it was no match for Little White, so it chose the most rational, yet also the most terrifying, course of action: it didn't flee, but instead sought help, searching for a more powerful being within its clan!"
"A hidden clan capable of raising a 100,000-year-old soul beast—their patriarch's cultivation level is likely far beyond that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old being." The Snow Empress's voice was filled with apprehension. "It could very well be a ferocious beast, perhaps even comparable to my peak strength! If such a being were lured here, even though Little White is strong, she would be no match for it. At that time, the three of us would probably perish here!"
Xue Di's analysis was reasonable and logically sound. Dai Youheng was somewhat relieved; if Xue Di hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have understood so quickly.
His momentary greed and eagerness almost made him overlook the greatest potential crisis: an ancient soul beast clan hidden deep in the far north, whose existence even the Snow Emperor was unaware of. Its terror far exceeded his imagination.
"I understand, Sister Xue Di!" Dai Youheng said immediately. "It was my oversight. Let's move immediately!"
"Little White," Snow Empress's spiritual message was transmitted to Ice Bear King again, "Take this unconscious little tiger and leave this area as quickly as possible, the farther the better. Find a completely secluded place where you won't be easily tracked!"
"Roar." Although Little White was slow-witted, it had absolute trust in and execution of the Snow Emperor's orders. It let out a low growl to indicate that it understood, and carefully picked up the unconscious 20,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger with its huge bear paws, tucking it under its arm.
At the same time, with the other hand, I gently sheltered Dai Youheng back into its thick, warm fur and secured it.
After doing all this, Little White's massive body suddenly burst forth with astonishing energy. It landed on all fours, no longer leisurely as before, but like a giant icebreaker starting up at full speed, it roared and sprinted in the opposite direction from the fleeing 100,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger.
With each step it took, it left deep claw marks on the solid permafrost, but these were quickly covered by ice and snow.
It moved so fast that it left a white afterimage in the air, and the cold wind howled past Dai Youheng's ears.
Dai Youheng gripped Xiaobai's fur tightly, glanced back at the rapidly receding cracked ice lake and the deep glacial fissures, and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Beneath the icy plains, an invisible undercurrent seemed to be stirring. Just as the Snow Emperor had predicted, the heavily wounded 100,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger was dragging its broken body toward a hidden lair deep within the glacial abyss, its four eerie eyes burning with deep-seated hatred and the flames of mad revenge.
Meanwhile, Dai Youheng and Xiaobai, carrying their unexpected spoils, fled into the more desolate and colder depths of the far north, racing against time to find a safe haven.
The plan to acquire spirit rings remains unchanged, but the priorities and locations must be changed immediately. Safety is the top priority.
Not long after Xiaobai carried Dai Youheng and took the unconscious 20,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger hostage, they disappeared into the vast snowstorm.
"Gurgle... Boom!"
The already cracked surface of the frozen lake began to churn violently once more! A dark shadow, even more terrifying and enormous than before, slowly rose from the deep abyss at the bottom of the lake!
Finally, accompanied by a muffled roar that seemed to shake the entire glacial continent, a massive, suffocating figure broke through the ice water and slowly appeared on the ice surface!
Its shape is similar to the previous Abyss Ice Tiger, but its size is more than twice as large! Standing there, it is like a moving dark iceberg!
The 100,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger was now respectfully and fearfully prostrating itself at its huge feet, its originally enormous body appearing like an immature cub in comparison!
It lowered its head and let out a pitiful and painful whimper, recounting its past experiences.
Just as Xue Di had predicted, this terrifying behemoth was the true king of the Abyss Ice Prison Tiger clan, a second-generation clan leader with a cultivation level of 500,000 years!
Its father, the first patriarch, had long since turned to ashes in a terrifying celestial calamity. It inherited its father's power and status, but also his deep fear of the rules of heaven and earth.
The reason why their clan has lurked beneath the deep sea ice abyss, where sunlight cannot reach, for generations is not because they are powerless to compete with the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor for the rule of the far north, but because they want to take advantage of the special environment of the extreme abyss to suppress the fluctuations of their own cultivation to the greatest extent and delay the arrival of the heavenly tribulation!
What they seek is the continuation of their race, not the empty fame of dominating the earth.
If it weren't for the peculiar fluctuations emanating from Dai Youheng's cultivation of the "Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body," which contained a top-tier demonic beast aura that made them feel excited and covetous, they would never have easily appeared in the world to cause trouble.
The Ice Prison Tiger Clan Chief, with 500,000 years of cultivation, possesses terrifying combat power, enough to crush the vast majority of ferocious beasts.
Moreover, its race is also very special, possessing the same extreme evil attribute as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Among tiger-type soul beasts, its racial strength is probably second only to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Even the Ice Emperor, one of the three great kings of the far north, would have an uncertain outcome against it. In the entire far north, perhaps only the Snow Emperor at her peak, wielding the ultimate power of ice and snow, could reliably suppress it.
Its four terrifying eyes slowly swept across the ravaged battlefield, sensing the lingering scent of the ice bear, a faint trace of human blood, and the icy energy left behind by the wounded members of its race.
But it arrived too late.
The wind and snow in the far north are the most ruthless cleaners. In just a short while, the footprints and scent left by Xiaobai when she left have been mostly covered by new ice and snow, becoming blurred and difficult to trace.
Further away, it completely merges into the boundless ice field and snow, leaving no trace.
"roar!"
The Ice Prison Tiger Clan Chief raised his ferocious head and let out a deafening roar filled with endless anger and frustration.
This roar was far more terrifying than any before, like a tangible sonic shockwave that caused several surrounding glaciers to collapse!
But it possesses the power to tear everything apart, yet it cannot find a target for revenge.
Eventually, the terrifying roar subsided, leaving only the howling wind.
In the Ice Prison Tiger Clan Chief's cold eyes, anger was gradually replaced by a deeper sense of apprehension and caution. It gazed deeply at the desolate ice plains, then used its tail to lift the heavily wounded 100,000-year-old Ice Prison Tiger. Its massive body slowly sank into the icy lake water, disappearing once again into the dark abyss.
The safety of its race and the avoidance of divine calamity remain its primary considerations. To rashly venture into the unknown dangers of the surface world for the sake of a missing offspring or a momentary impulse is not a wise move.
But it and its clan remembered this grudge. That human with the strange aura, and that damned ice bear, have been permanently blacklisted by the Abyss Ice Tiger clan.
