Xu Mingxi didn't know that Ling Yilan was following him.
The two people's goals were completely different. Xu Mingxi was now heading to the Valley of Ice Scars, where the Five Thousand Year Old Moon Watching Frog was only a low-level soul beast.
If Ling Yilan's fourth soul ring didn't require a specific soul beast, the fringes of the Far North would be enough for her to obtain a satisfying soul ring.
As she followed him, she realized that Xu Mingxi was heading towards the inner circle or core area, so she had to give up.
Xu Mingxi and the other two were dressed in winter clothes, only their eyes visible.
The deeper they went in, the harsher the surrounding environment became, which was also a big test for Xu Mingxi.
Wild beasts were not the main danger. Under the pressure of the two elders, not many soul beasts dared to approach.
All he had to fight against was the extreme cold brought from this distant northern region.
Xu Mingxi trudged forward. He could feel his soul force being continuously drained.
Although those two old men can help me, but if I need their help in anything, I'd better not become a soul master.
Xu Mingxi now wished he had something like a soul force bottle to replenish his soul force, but unfortunately he didn't have one.
From birth until now, Xu Mingxi had never seen a soul guide device other than the storage soul guide device.
Even the lamps used for lighting on Star Luo Mountain are made of materials derived from soul beasts, and they can emit light by infusing soul power.
Finally, seeing that Xu Mingxi could no longer endure, the Great Elder took action and wrapped his entire body with his soul force.
Carrying Xu Mingxi on their shoulders, the two elders ran toward Icemark Valley.
Icemark Valley was a valley. The surrounding snow-capped mountains blocked most of the cold currents, and the temperature inside was no lower than that outside the Far North.
It is also a favorite habitat for some soul creatures in the Far North that do not like too cold an environment.
For example, the water leopard flowed in front of Xu Mingxi. As soon as the three of them entered the Valley of Ice Scars, this blind soul creature jumped out.
"Elder, judging from the size and pattern of this water leopard, it's only about twelve thousand years old. How dare it?"
"I don't know, but we don't need its spirit ring, so we can just drive it away."
When Star Crown Sect followers hunted for spirit rings, they never killed other spirit beasts easily.
After thousands of years of inheritance, they had realized that it was increasingly difficult to obtain spirit rings.
This was not only because the soul beasts required for the Star Crown Martial Spirit were relatively rare, but also because the number of soul beasts as a whole had decreased.
Soul beasts that previously could only be found in the peripheral areas, now instead had to be found in the inner areas.
The Star Crown Sect could not control others, so it could only restrain its own behavior and seek peace of mind.
Although Xu Mingxi wasn't a member of the Soul Beast Protection Association, he didn't want to kill at will unless it affected him.
The possibility of a 12,000-year-old soul beast exposing soul bones wasn't much greater than the possibility of winning the lottery in his previous life.
The Great Elder struck directly at the ground in front of the Flowing Water Leopard and sent it flying.
Liushuibao finally came to his senses and feeling the pressure from the two elders, he ran away happily.
"Elders, let's go quickly. The Moon Watching Frog's territory is on the west side of the valley."
Moon-Watching Frogs were soulful creatures that liked to group together. They would worship the moon together every night, so they were very easy to find.
However, this type of soul creature is relatively weak, but it lives close to the core area, and most people will not pick them out at all.
It is precisely because of this that they can survive safely in this Valley of Ice Scars, and there is even a ten-thousand-year-old Moon Watching Frog King in the tribe.
The reason why Xu Mingxi knew it clearly was because almost every member of the Star Crown Sect had the blood of the Moonviewing Frog on their hands.
Almost every disciple would choose the Moonviewing Frog as their fourth soul ring.
Just because of a magic skill, a four-ring soul master used it, a group defense magic skill that even soul emperor-level powerhouses found it difficult to destroy.
Star Guardians.
In other words, the number of people in the Star Crown Sect is relatively few, otherwise Xu Mingxi would suspect that they should find a way to raise this kind of soul beast.
As a person who valued his life, how could Xu Mingxi give up such a good soul skill?
When the trio arrived at the Moon Watching Frogs' territory, they were in the middle of holding a moon worship ceremony.
After thousands of years of hunting, the Star Crown Sect had developed feelings for these soul beasts and didn't want to interfere unless necessary.
What's more, Xu Mingxi felt that this scene was truly beautiful, even sacred.
In Xu Mingxi's opinion, the Moonviewing Frog's entire body was snow white, which made it appear rather ugly and cute.
As the toads continued to cry, the silvery moonlight illuminated the sky. All the moon-watching frogs bowed their heads towards the full moon, and the moonlight shone on them, as if rewarding them for their piety.
Then, the Moon Watching Frogs that were more than a thousand years old each vomited out a jewel, and the moonlight in the sky gathered on the jewel.
As the full moon was covered by dark clouds, the light on the pearl slowly faded and was about to be taken back into the Moon Watching Frog's body.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows around the Moon Watching Frog's territory.
He was wearing a black nightgown, and a black shadow seemed to cling to his body, with six soul rings shining on it, three yellow, two purple, and one black.
After a few movements, she rushed towards the brightest moon orb in the sky.
Although the Moon Orb was of little use, its luxurious and noble nature made it popular among some high-ranking officials. Given its high price, some people would still take the risk.
However, the Second Elder would not allow him to take the Moon Orb from the Moon Watching Frog King.
This would affect the survival and development of the Moon Watching Frog tribe. In the bigger picture, it would damage the foundation of the Star Crown Sect.
This child had already accepted his death.
The second elder's first soul ring lit up, and dazzling starlight shot out from the star crown.
The first soul skill, Star Attraction, directly put the hunter in place.
The Moon Watching Frogs panicked slightly because of the wild hunters, but they no longer panicked when they saw the starlight.
The Moon Watching Frog King directly stuffed the Moon Ball into his stomach, and after shouting, he jumped directly into the ice cave next to him.
"Shaman."
Tribe brothers, run for your lives. Those despicable people are here again. It all depends on your fate.
Although they don't have much wisdom, after thousands of years of hunting, the Moon-Reviewing Frog Clan has carved the bloodline of the Crown of Stars into their heritage.
We know that every time a star appears, one or two tribe members will be killed.
Frog King Yue once wanted to fight back, but was instantly deterred by a beam of starlight.
Today's Frog Kings feel that it is better not to endure this humiliation, because these people have never hunted the Ten Thousand Year Old Moon Watching Frogs.
Uh, are we so bad?
Seeing the Moon Watching Frogs scurrying in all directions, Xu Mingxi felt a little amused and helpless. Why were they acting like demons?
No, there was still one Moon Watching Frog that hadn't escaped, or rather, the Second Elder wouldn't let it escape.
"Mingxi, this Moon Watcher Frog is just over five thousand years old. It's suitable to be your fourth soul ring."
Under the protection of both elders, Xu Mingxi stepped forward confidently and ended the poor frog's life with a single knife.
He simply sat cross-legged on the spot and began to draw the bright purple soul ring.
The two elders beside them began to interrogate the captured black-clothed man, and the eldest elder tore off the mask on his face.
