Chapter 62: Cunning prey.
Several hundred-year-old ice pigs were put into the belly and decomposed by the digestive gas in just a few seconds, but the energy provided made Li Changan frown secretly!
"Such thin energy... Sure enough, these young soul beasts can only play a very limited role in my current improvement." Li Changan's nine snake heads scanned the trembling direwolves around him, and finally focused on On the Millennium Wolf King, one of the heads stretched out its neck and bit it directly, swallowing it.
Throughout the whole process, the Wolf King showed no sign of resistance, as if he had accepted his fate. After all, the gap between the two sides in terms of bloodline and cultivation is too big, and resistance is meaningless.
And after swallowing the Thousand-Year Wolf King and digesting it completely, the energy obtained is stronger than that of the Centennial Soul Beast, but its strength is limited. There is no such qualitative change.
Li Changan understood.
Nowadays, soul beasts that are less than 10,000 years old can only improve themselves very little. Unless quantity makes up for quality through massive devouring. But compared with the harvest, the time spent in this way is simply not worth the gain.
Instead of doing this, he might as well go directly to hunt the ten thousand year soul beast.
"But it's not absolutely true. If it's a soul beast with a very high-level bloodline, such as a Titan ape, azure bull python, etc., then even if it only lasts for a hundred years, the energy it provides will probably be enough in terms of purity. It's comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast," Li Changan thought.
So, he set the standard for the next hunting target.
A soul beast with high bloodline!
Or a spirit beast with a high age!
Spirit beasts with high bloodline and high age are the best prey.
After determining the future hunting target.
Li Changan turned his huge body and left here. As for the remaining direwolves, he chose to let them go. After all, these low-level soul beasts cannot provide him with the energy needed for growth. There is no point in hunting at all, so I am too lazy to talk.
…
The Far North is vast.
There are endless plains of ice and snow, with occasional icebergs and hills visible.
Li Changan didn't know how far he had gone. He only knew that as he got deeper into the core area, the soft snow on the ground had now turned into thick solid ice, and at the same time, the ubiquitous chill became more and more terrifying. .
I'm afraid that if ordinary people take a breath here, the moist breath will instantly freeze into ice in the air, right? This shows how cold this place is.
After half a month of exploration, he discovered that this far north land was vast and sparsely populated, and the number of soul beasts was pitifully small compared to the soul beast forest. Even ten-thousand-year soul beasts are rare in the outer areas, let alone those soul beasts of higher bloodline. As a last resort, he could only keep going deep into the core.
"There is no doubt that I should be in the core area now. I can vaguely feel powerful auras coming from all directions. Thousand-year soul beasts are no longer as rare as in the periphery."
"Although there are more prey, the level of danger has also increased! With my cultivation level roughly equivalent to that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, I must be careful in this core area! If I am caught by those powerful soul beasts, I will be very careful. It's over." Li Changan thought to himself.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there weren't many ten thousand year soul beasts in the outer area. He will never set foot in the core area when his cultivation level is still low. Instead, he will stay in the peripheral area and develop silently. He will not break into the core area in less than 100,000 years.
It's a pity that there are too few senior soul beasts in the outer areas, so it is completely meaningless to continue wasting time there. He could only take risks and develop deep into the core area in advance.
"Anyway, let's find a soul beast to perform the tooth ceremony first!"
The Hydra opens its senses to explore the scent of its prey.
Soon, his eyes were fixed in a certain direction.
"What a mellow aura... it must be a soul beast of high-level bloodline!"
Following the direction of the breath perception, Li Changan couldn't wait to twist the snake's body and start moving forward. At the same time, he did not forget to try his best to restrain his breath to avoid scaring away the prey. After some time.
Li Changan finally saw the true form of his prey.
It was a large scorpion six meters long.
Different from ordinary scorpions, the figure of the scorpion in front of you is extremely graceful, with a long and narrow body and a smooth outline. The proportions of the head, trunk, double pincers and six limbs have reached an extremely coordinated level, and it is also condensed with a diamond-like hexagonal pyramid. The crystals refract in the sunlight with a mesmerizing brilliance!
But what is even more eye-catching is its sharp, raised scorpion tail. Whether it is the jagged joints or the ferocious tail hook, they all present a magnificent and noble color like ice jade.
"This is the Ice Jade Scorpion!"
Li Changan's eyes lit up when he saw this. He didn't expect that he had just entered the core area and encountered such a rare high-level soul beast.
Among the soul beasts in the Far North, there are three most powerful soul beasts, and they are named the Three Kings of the Far North.
They are the Snow Emperor, the Ice Emperor, and the Titan Snow Demon King!
Among them, the Ice Emperor's race is the Ice Jade Scorpion. Because it is the strongest of the clan, it is also known as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. It has a cultivation level of nearly 400,000 years... Of course, the information here refers to the Douluo II period ten thousand years later.
He didn't know how old the Ice Emperor in the current Douluo Stage was. After all, that was thousands of years in the future.
"I don't know how much improvement this Ice Jade Scorpion can bring to me." Li Changan's nine snake heads and eighteen eyes stared directly at the Ice Jade Scorpion that was leisurely basking in the sun, and he was so greedy that he almost lost his temper. Drooling.
From the black soul light emitted from the appearance of this ice jade scorpion, it can be judged that its age should be ten thousand years. As for exactly tens of thousands of years, it is unknown.
Anyway, Li Changan didn't feel the slightest threat from this thousand-year-old ice jade scorpion. It can be seen from this that the age should not be too high. There is no way it is the kind of powerful soul beast that is more than 90,000 years old and close to 100,000 years old.
In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about.
That's all.
It’s still the same old thing, release the aura pressure first!
“Hey!!!”
The Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade Scorpion, which was still leisurely basking in the sun, suddenly let out a high-frequency sharp whistle. There was a humanized panic in those yellow diamond-like scorpion eyes! Shows quite a bit of intelligence.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, the Ice Jade Scorpion is not only one of the three major races in the Far North, but it is also a soul beast with the ultimate ice attribute. It is definitely the top race among soul beasts. It is normal for them to have high spiritual intelligence after only ten thousand years.
And possessing a high level of intelligence means that this ice jade scorpion will not be scared to the point of being slaughtered like ordinary soul beasts.
When facing an invincible opponent, the first reaction of any living being is to run away!
This Ice Jade Scorpion is naturally no exception.
Just swish.
It turned into a green afterimage and ran away like crazy. Li Changan, who had just appeared, was stunned for a moment. Since awakening the Jiuying bloodline, it was the first time that he saw a soul beast able to muster the courage to escape under his majesty.
And he escaped so decisively.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Li Changan secretly thought that he had made a mistake and quickly twisted the snake's body to catch up. He would not let such a good prey go.
