Chapter 77: Target Dragon City, Bandit Ice Emperor, New Pet

Later that evening, the Ice Emperor leaned against an ancient tree, looked at the disheveled Shu Yan, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Snow Emperor also turned her head somewhat unbearably. Honestly, she had rarely seen Shu Yan in such a disheveled state, but today, she had indeed seen enough.

Shu Yan helplessly shook the grass roots off his head, looked at Xu Jiujiu, who had returned to her gentle appearance, and his mouth still couldn't help but twitch.

Xu Jiujiu's image in front of him had always been a gentle but slightly domineering sister, but if she was really in a bad mood or jealous, then what Shu Yan faced was not Xu Jiujiu, but the high-and-mighty imperial princess of the Star Luo Empire, his own wife. Shu Yan was somewhat helpless about this...

But then again, Xu Jiujiu bullied him during the day, and he would bully her back ten or a hundred times at night. Shu Yan was very open-minded about this kind of thing. Anyway, the one who suffered in the end was Xu Jiujiu herself...

This interlude did not affect the atmosphere of the few people getting along before. Shu Yan opened the map again, pointed to a city circled with red lines in the northeast of the Heaven Soul Empire and said: "Dragon City is located in the northeast of the Heaven Soul Empire, and it is also the largest city in the northeast of the entire Heaven Soul Empire. In fact, it is very obvious from the map that the distance between Dragon City and the Extreme North Land is not very far. The most famous sects there are the Heaven Dragon Gate and the Earth Dragon Gate. Among them, the Heaven Dragon Gate is a top-tier sect in the entire Heaven Soul Empire. Its sect master is at the Title Douluo cultivation level. They are a branch of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Family ten thousand years ago and inherited this top-level True Dragon martial soul, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus. Their strength is barely qualified."

"As for the Earth Dragon Gate, although it cannot be counted as a top sect, its sect master is also a Soul Douluo. Their sect's direct inheritance martial soul is a very special dragon species—the Rouge Dragon. This martial soul possesses an extremely rare and special annihilation attribute, which can achieve destructive effects by decomposing the opponent's attribute ability."

"And the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave I know about is inside their sect."

The Ice Emperor rubbed her hands excitedly, then said with glowing eyes:

"This is simple. A mere Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo, this Emperor only needs one move to solve them all. By then, the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave will be ours—"

Two black lines fell on Shu Yan's forehead, and he lightly slapped the Ice Emperor's head, then said softly:

"Do you think the four of us look like bandits?"

The Ice Emperor rubbed her head, glared at Shu Yan with some dissatisfaction, and then said:

"Don't you want to share the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave with them? This Emperor doesn't know that you, the great philanthropist Shu, have such a generous day..."

Shu Yan raised his eyebrows. Share? What kind of nonsense is this? Does he look like a kind and generous teenager?

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to do that. How could I be willing to share such a treasure land as the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave with outsiders? In addition, even if I have that intention, do they dare to want it? I'm afraid they would be frozen into ice lumps before they even entered. The ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave is a well-deserved treasure for us ice-attribute soul masters, but for soul masters of other attributes, it is a blessing if it doesn't become a disaster."

The Ice Emperor hummed twice, and then said with satisfaction: "For the sake of the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave, this Emperor won't be angry with you these days. Determine the direction quickly, and then we will set off at full speed. Try to reach that so-called Dragon City tomorrow. This Emperor is already a bit itchy."

Unexpectedly, the Snow Emperor also nodded in agreement this time, then said softly: "Although I don't want to admit it, the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice cave has a fatal attraction to me..."

Shu Yan looked at the sky, then said somewhat helplessly: "Then what are you waiting for, let's set off..."

The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor looked at each other, both with

……

After completely leaving the vicinity of Jialing Pass, the scenery here had changed significantly.

The azure sky was dotted with white clouds, and below were mostly forests and mountain ranges rarely trodden by humans. The figures of various soul beasts flashed past the group's line of sight, the most striking of which was a Flame Lion King they encountered while passing a small mountain range.

As a top-tier fire-attribute soul beast, the Flame Lion King had always been an extremely rare existence. The one the four encountered was over six meters long, its entire body covered in fur as dazzling as a raging fire; seen from afar, it was as bright and eye-catching as a star in the forest.

It must be said that the Flame Lion King's appearance was definitely top-tier in the entire soul beast world. In particular, this Flame Lion King's cultivation had reached over fifty thousand years, and every movement it made carried the air of a king, making it appear even more magnificent. Of course, had it not let out that roar, it might have continued to live safely as its mountain lord, but that very roar successfully turned it into a well-behaved little kitten under the Ice Empress, after which it was stored by the Ice Empress in a soul tool she had requested from Shu Yan that could store living things...

You see, going from a mountain lord to a little kitten was just a matter of an instant. Since the Ice Empress had this interest, Shu Yan naturally had nothing to say. Raising a Flame Lion King with around fifty thousand years of cultivation posed almost no pressure for them, so keeping it as a bit of fun was not bad. After all, this big cat seemed to have sensed the terrifying nature of the group, and a strong sense of crisis made it quickly abandon its dignity as a lion king, and in a short time, it had automatically learned the fawning techniques of a common kitten rolling about...

One can only say that this was a big cat who knew the times! During the journey, the Ice Empress kept charging at the very front alone; it was clear that she was truly excited and impatient.

Snow Empress followed behind with Shu Yan and the other, not far away. The sky had already darkened, and the stars filled the firmament. Under the reflection of the moonlight and starlight, Xu Jiujiu took out an exquisitely shaped small soul tool from her soul tool. After injecting soul power into it, the golden shell of the soul tool slowly opened, revealing a strange piece of silver ore inside.

After Xu Jiujiu opened it, she let it hover in her hand. Seeming to notice Shu Yan's probing gaze, Xu Jiujiu finished handling everything and then spoke softly:

"This is a level 7 soul tool, the Star Box. The ore inside is Star-Guiding Stone, a rare ore sparsely distributed only on the islands in the southern sea of the Empire. This ore needs to be bathed in starlight for at least a thousand years to be born, so it possesses a certain star-light attribute itself. Furthermore, after special forging, it can absorb and store a large amount of starlight energy at night. The one I have is only a level 7 soul tool, but the size of the Star-Guiding Stone inside is enough to rival the one in my Imperial Brother's hands."

"It is inconvenient for me to cultivate while traveling, so I might as well let it absorb some starlight energy, and it can be used directly later..."
