"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Shui Bing'er ran at full Soul Power the entire way, sprinting for nearly half an hour before finally slowing down slightly, constantly gasping for breath.
"This distance should be safe!"
"Now I just need to leave some markers along the way so Teacher Xue Han can find my location."
Shui Bing'er muttered to herself, clearly not very worried about Xue Han's safety.
Of course, this wasn't because Shui Bing'er was cold-hearted, but because she was confident in Xue Han's strength.
Although Xue Han's strength wasn't top-tier among Soul Sages, escaping a thirty-thousand-year Ice soul Demon Bear was more than enough.
However, before Shui Bing'er could relax for long, a new crisis descended again.
Suddenly, a sound of stepping on ice came from the snow mist in the distance.
Hearing this movement, Shui Bing'er immediately looked over vigilantly.
When she saw the several dark figures slowly approaching her from the snow mist on both sides, and the faint green light emanating from their eyes, Shui Bing'er's pupils suddenly constricted.
These were the Snow Shadow Wolves that were chased by the Ice soul Demon Bear just now!
Unexpectedly, after escaping the Ice soul Demon Bear's pursuit, these beasts actually set their sights on her.
Looking at the Snow Shadow Wolves encircling her from both sides, Shui Bing'er maintained a certain distance from them with a solemn expression.
Fighting was impossible. These Snow Shadow Wolves, judging by their size, were all over two thousand years old, with some even being three or four thousand years old.
With her strength, she could barely handle two or three at the same time, but there were nine here.
Moreover, the leading Snow Shadow Wolf was probably no less than four thousand years old based on its size.
Shui Bing'er suspected that if these nine Snow Shadow Wolves swarmed her, she might not even last a minute before being torn to shreds by them.
"Run!"
No sooner said than done!
Shui Bing'er didn't hesitate at all. Her Martial Soul instantly attached, and her body shot out like an arrow.
In an instant, she left all nine Snow Shadow Wolves behind.
But at the same moment she fled, the nine Snow Shadow Wolves that were encircling her from both sides let out a collective howl, and then pounced towards Shui Bing'er.
On the ice and snow wasteland, the sound of stepping on ice fluctuated continuously.
Even though Shui Bing'er had used all her strength, she still couldn't shake off the nine Snow Shadow Wolves behind her.
On the contrary, among the nine Snow Shadow Wolves, the leading one was gradually closing the distance with her at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What to do, what to do!"
Shui Bing'er was extremely anxious, running while thinking of countermeasures in her heart, but she neglected her footing.
Because of her momentary inattention, Shui Bing'er failed to notice a rift valley about four or five meters wide and bottomless ahead.
"Ah!"
Stepping into empty space, Shui Bing'er's body suddenly fell into the rift valley.
Fortunately, Shui Bing'er reacted in time the moment she fell, and in the nick of time, she grabbed onto a protrusion in the rift valley with one hand.
Looking at the bottomless dark rift valley below, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
Falling from here, she would surely be smashed to pieces, with no chance of survival.
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er forcefully grabbed the protrusion in the rift valley, and her body, like a nimble swallow, jumped onto the top of the rift valley.
But this delay allowed the four-thousand-year-old Snow Shadow Wolf leader to catch up.
"Awoo——"
The Snow Shadow Wolf leader let out a long howl, and its agile body Whoosh shot across the rift valley, then pounced towards Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next second, three Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, swirled up from her feet.
"Repulsion Ice Ring!"
In the nick of time, Shui Bing'er lightly shouted, and her third Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
Immediately, a crystal ice ring of ice-blue color spread outwards with Shui Bing'er as the center, hitting the pouncing Snow Shadow Wolf leader.
Bang!
The moment the ice ring collided with the Snow Shadow Wolf leader, the Snow Shadow Wolf leader's body was instantly bounced back seven or eight meters by the repulsive force contained within it.
In addition, a layer of ice also formed on the Snow Shadow Wolf leader's body the moment it collided with the ice ring.
But this kind of attack was more focused on control.
Although it could restrict the Snow Shadow Wolf leader to a certain extent, it was difficult to cause significant damage to it.
In just two seconds, the ice on the Snow Shadow Wolf leader's body shattered all over the ground, and it regained its ability to move.
Fortunately, Shui Bing'er had no intention of entanglement. Looking at the pack of wolves chasing behind the Snow Shadow Wolf leader, she continued to sprint forward.
On the snowy plain, Qi Lin and Gu Yuena walked leisurely.
In this extremely harsh environment, their expressions looked as if they were strolling in their own backyard.
After they walked for a while, the climate on the snowy plain improved, the wind and snow stopped, and the visibility became much clearer.
Just then, there was a sudden movement from the side, and Qi Lin looked over curiously.
He saw a blue-haired girl wearing a silver-white snow cloak with ice-blue close-fitting clothes underneath and deerskin boots on her feet, running desperately, looking somewhat disheveled.
Behind her was a pack of Snow Shadow Wolves in hot pursuit.
The leading Snow Shadow Wolf leader almost caught up with the girl, but was forced back by an ice ring released by the girl using a thousand-year Soul Skill.
Soon, the girl also noticed Qi Lin and Gu Yuena.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, and in this remote Extreme North, it was truly rare.
One must know that the Extreme North is also known as a human restricted area.
Even ice-attribute Soul Masters, if they didn't have a certain level of self-preservation, wouldn't enter it to hunt for Soul Rings.
And Qi Lin and Gu Yuena's leisurely demeanor clearly indicated that they were not ordinary Soul Masters.
Shui Bing'er's mind raced, analyzing the handsome man and beautiful woman in her sight.
That young man looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't be that strong.
As for the woman, although she looked to be in her early twenties, she had an indescribable aura about her.
Shui Bing'er couldn't guess her specific strength, but it should not be lower than a Soul Grandmaster, and might even be a Soul King!
Although a Soul King in their early twenties was rare, it wasn't unheard of.
After all, Shui Bing'er herself was confident she could break through to Soul King before the age of twenty!
As for being stronger, Shui Bing'er didn't dare to think about it!
However, if they could help, it would definitely be no problem to force these Snow Shadow Wolves back.
So Shui Bing'er shouted towards Qi Lin and Gu Yuena.
"Two friends, I am Shui Bing'er, a student from Tianshui Academy. I'm currently in a little trouble and have been separated from my teacher for now. I wonder if I could ask for your help."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you help for free!"
Shui Bing'er?
Hearing this familiar name, Qi Lin subconsciously looked over.
