- Greetings to the ice empress, - I said with restraint, after all, she is more than two hundred thousand years old and it will not be superfluous to demonstrate her politeness, besides, so far I am no match for her. While the rest of the ice scorpions launched an attack and ran past us, the ice empress continued to stare at me in silence, which made me feel a little uneasy.

"You are very talented for your level," the ice empress said with a little surprise, given that she could not recognize my bone age, most likely it is based only on my fighting power for a ten thousand year old spirit beast.

-He is growing too fast and on our territory he no longer has opponents, except me, - a young female voice was heard from the sky, more like a beautiful melody, if not for the growling notes slipping between the words, and a second later my mother with small scratches on her scales, and, without looking, threw a bloody bracelet in my direction. Over the past thousand years, masters of spirits have come to our territory many times, with those who were below the fighting spirit, I dealt with the rest of my mother, and of course, that she could not help but notice that I was collecting their spatial mentors of the soul, seeing the interest with my side, my mother began to keep the mentors of the soul for me, during this time I have accumulated more than 50 of them, of course this number may seem large, but in total it is not more than 700 cubic meters of space, a lot only at first glance, more than 100 cubic meters are occupied by carcasses only 7 animals that I carry with me as a snack, not to mention a bunch of different medicinal herbs that I do not know how to use, maps, books and gold coins, so I have less than half of free space.

-Bing Long'er, you finally broke through, congratulations, - the ice empress began a conversation with my mother, while I went to inspect the body of the defeated titled doulou, after all, now I cannot interfere in their conversation, and I'm not interested in this so far, from my mother's stories, I learned that she knew the ice empress, not friendship, of course, but you can call it sympathy, so they will have extra topics for conversation. While walking to the corpse of the second title doulou, I began to check and immediately cleanse the mentor of the soul of the first, which turned out to be 30 cubic meters in volume, gold coins, some herbs, a bunch of clothes, food, and if the second interested me a little, still medicinal herbs can use the spirit beasts, the rest is useless for me, by the end of the inspection I came across several books, given the drawings of herbs and spirit beasts on the pages, this may be useful. The second titled one of the most valuable for me had only medicinal herbs, maps of the area and the soul mentor himself in the form of a ring with a volume of 25 cubic meters.

While the remaining ice scorpions began to freeze, formed during the battle, the deepenings, nevertheless, the battle of the title doulou and the two hundred thousand-year-old beast of the spirit is not a joke, and pits and ravines up to tens of meters deep, and up to a hundred meters long, formed in the neighborhood, I began to meditate in the middle of a small islands, the territory of the ice scorpion clan was closer to the center of the far north, the temperature was lower here, and the density and amount of spiritual energy were higher here, so my recovery rate was accelerated.

A few hours later, the conversation between my mother and the ice empress ended, the result of which was that my sister and I can safely visit the territory of the scorpion clan and fight with its representatives, but only in the presence of Bing Bing, as the ice empress allowed herself to call herself, especially after how I learned that before the age of ten thousand, I broke through in 1700 years. Even the look has changed a little, it has become warmer or something, yes, no, nonsense, and if so, then by 5% maximum.

Deciding not to waste time, I began to spar the next day, and my goal was a 30 thousand-year-old ice scorpion, which, like most scorpions over 30 thousand years old, gazed at the ice empress, nevertheless, even though their personality had already formed at the level of a teenager, but they have very low self-control, they are not used to restraining instincts, and as I learned yesterday, Bing Bing has the largest talent in the entire clan, and although she did not inherit the clan ability "ice blast", she had the highest level of cultivation, so that the couple was enviable, well, nothing, I'll break off all the claws, but decided to start with the smallest.

In one day, I spent more than 10 battles, below forty thousand years no one was my opponent, the 32 thousand-year-old ice scorpion with the ability of an ice explosion caused problems, I could not approach it, the bastard blew up the ice nearest to me, and although it did damage me did not apply, but it was very unpleasant, after 30 minutes I was still able to catch up with him, and to my surprise, his physical strength and protection were even slightly less than their relatives.

Until forty thousand years, I could calmly suppress the enemy, not only with super-strong protection, but also simply by force, up to 50

For a long time I fought on equal terms, losing neither in speed nor in strength, but after 50 thousand years I was depressed, they could only slightly damage my scales, but I could not injure my opponent, so I had to surrender.

Well, a good result for the first day, of course there is room for improvement, especially in terms of battle tactics, if I am more or less used to fighting with spiritual masters, then there is no spirit with the beasts, nevertheless, we have not a single beast of spirit older than 10 thousand years on our territory no, so I also had no opponents, of course it was possible to fight with my mother, but she was preparing for a breakthrough, it was not wise to distract her for such stupidity.

I also had to force my sister to conduct several fights, nevertheless, even though the sister is growing emotionally and is already quite consistent with a girl of 6-7 years old, she still loves to play most of all, so I had to promise to accompany her on her escapes through the territory of the scorpion clan, all the same, I can't let her go alone, who knows what some ice scorpions may think of, and keeping her with me is useless — it will run away.

Pov Bing Bing.

Several weeks have passed since the attack of the doulou titles, and the clan's territory has returned to tranquility ... if not for the two ice dragons. Unexpectedly, during the attack, Bing Meili appeared, as the one hundred thousand-year-old armored ice dragon now calls herself, which turned out to be a big surprise for me, nevertheless we saw her 8 thousand years ago, and then she only broke through in 90 thousand years, but now she is strong will not yield to me.

In addition, she came along with her offspring and an unusual request to provide opponents to her son and daughter, because there are simply no worthy rivals on their territory, and if the girl, besides her talent, did not cause surprise, I saw enough young representatives of her species, and they were just as hyperactive, the boy gave me a real shock.

At the age of 1700, to break through the ten thousand year level, and his level of protection is simply abnormal, even a 50 thousand year old spirit beast could only scratch him, besides, his strange behavior towards me, yes, he thinks that I do not see how he is at he was looking at me, and even if he didn't come up to me, he challenged any of my clanmates who began to stare at me, even though he could not win, but he had never completely lost.

Well, I don't think that I need to take any action, let him serve as an example for my clanmates, make them develop, but what about his actions towards me, as long as you can not think about it, given his talent, he will become the strongest in the clan of ice dragons, at that time, if he does not give up his actions, then it will already be possible to decide something.

P.S. Conversations are mainly mental messages, yet spiritual animals can communicate with each other, it is hardly a language speech, because some people simply don't have a mouth, so let there be mental messages.
