Chapter 62 Frozen Forest
"Divine Turtle? Where's the divine turtle?!"
Oscar, who was meditating, jumped up, curiously looking around.
Lan Minghua looked at Oscar, who seemed like a fool, and his lips twitched.
"What a sin! How could I have been so blind as to take him as my disciple?"
Seeing this, Lan Minghua swung his slipper.
Oscar heard the whooshing sound and turned around just as the slipper struck him in the face, causing him to fall straight down.
Hearing the commotion, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two girls quickly opened their eyes.
Seeing Oscar lying on the flying sword and the bright red slipper mark on his face, the three girls were already used to it.
In their minds, Lan Minghua was a good master, but definitely not a traditional one.
Lan Minghua caught the returning slipper and asked, "Yiran, you've broken through to level forty?"
"Yes, Master, I've broken through to level forty." Meng Yiran's voice was excited.
Not long ago, she had barely reached level thirty, but after becoming Lan Minghua's disciple, she was now at level forty.
Moreover, there was no sign of his soul power becoming unstable; this was an improvement with almost no side effects.
Lan Minghua nodded and said softly, "I've already decided on the soul beast for Oscar's fourth soul ring. You can decide for yourselves what kind of soul beast you need."
The Mirror Beast was his first choice for Oscar's fourth soul ring, and it was also the soul ring that would bring about a qualitative change in Oscar's strength.
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two girls began to think about their own shortcomings and what kind of soul beast would suit them.
Lan Minghua didn't know much about the three of them, so he could only let them choose the appropriate soul beast themselves.
As the flying sword gradually approached its destination, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and a bone-chilling cold filled the air.
The originally clear sky was gradually covered by thick dark clouds, and a blizzard swept in, whipping up snowflakes. The blizzard descended without warning.
The three girls on the flying sword couldn't help but shiver; even though they were all level 40, three-ring Soul Masters, they could hardly withstand the sudden cold.
Oscar, who had been feigning death on the flying sword, suddenly sprang to his feet, immediately clutching his arms, his legs trembling from the cold.
"Whoosh!"
Oscar's breath instantly froze in the air.
Gazing at the icy forest shrouded in snow and wind ahead, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the Ice Forest? It truly lives up to its name!"
Lan Minghua remained calm, slightly raising his hand and tapping his fingertips. A pale blue light screen instantly rose from the edge of the flying sword, enveloping everyone within it.
The protective shield isolated them from the outside wind, snow, and cold, yet the flying sword's speed remained undiminished, plunging straight into the blizzard.
The wind and snow raged wildly outside the shield, like countless ice blades cutting through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The flying sword weaved through the snow and wind, like a small boat cutting through a raging sea.
Oscar and his companions' vision was obscured by the snow and wind; they could only vaguely see a vast white world ahead.
But Lan Minghua's perception was extremely clear, and he skillfully maneuvered the flying sword, weaving left and right.
Just as they were about to break through the blizzard, he called out, "Hold on tight!"
Having learned from their previous experience, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran were on high alert.
Seeing that Dugu Bo didn't react, Oscar quickly reminded her, "Fifth Junior Sister, quickly circulate your soul power to stand firm, or you'll fall."
Dugu Yan jolted and immediately did as she was told.
Before the words were even finished, the flying sword suddenly accelerated.
The protective shield around the sword burst forth with dazzling light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
"Boom—"
The flying sword broke through the last barrier of wind and snow, and the scene before them changed abruptly.
The sound of the wind and snow instantly faded away, replaced by silence and brightness.
The flying sword hovered steadily in the air, the surrounding wind and snow seemingly isolated by an invisible wall, unable to approach even a fraction.
Everyone looked up and saw a vast, boundless snowfield ahead.
Although the sky was still overcast, the wind and snow had stopped.
The frozen forest is faintly visible in the distance, with towering coniferous trees standing silently on the snow-white earth like giant icicles. Sunlight streamed through gaps in the clouds, illuminating the surface of the coniferous forest and reflecting a chilling gleam.
The entire forest was bathed in a silvery glow.
Lan Minghua controlled his flying sword, slowly descending until it came to a stop at the edge of the frozen forest.
The group jumped off, their feet crunching on the thick snow.
Silence reigned, broken only by the low whistling of the wind through the coniferous forest.
"Finally here," Oscar murmured, his voice tinged with barely concealed excitement and tension.
Lan Minghua sheathed his giant flying sword, gazing intently into the depths of the forest, and said calmly, "Let's go. Hopefully, we can find the necessary soul beasts soon. This blinding white expanse is too dazzling."
The group followed Lan Minghua into the frozen forest.
Upon entering, they were immediately stunned by the world before them.
Thick frost clung to the branches of the coniferous trees, and sunlight filtering through the clouds refracted into icy glints.
At this moment, the entire forest resembled a giant ice sculpture world.
However, countless dangers lurked within this beautiful and silent forest. They
had only ventured deep into the forest when a low, rumbling sound echoed in the air, as if some colossal creature was approaching.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded, causing icicles to fall from the trees.
Looking up in the direction of the sound, they saw a massive soul beast charging out from the depths of the forest.
It was the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Snow Bear!
This Ice Crystal Snow Bear stood over five meters tall, its entire body covered in translucent ice armor.
Its back was covered in sharp ice spikes, making it resemble a moving iceberg.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and it spewed white, icy breath, clearly recognizing the group as its prey.
The Ice Crystal Snow Bear charged forward, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly. Snowflakes
swirled in its wake, and trees along its path were snapped in two with a cracking sound, the sheer force of its attack sending chills down their spines.
However, facing this ferocious soul beast, Oscar and his companions showed no panic.
Their gazes all turned to Lan Minghua, their eyes filled with trust and composure.
Lan Minghua stood at the front of the group, his face showing not fear but a hint of joy.
He patted his somewhat empty stomach and chuckled softly, "I was just worried about being hungry, but this guy delivered himself to my doorstep, saving me a lot of trouble."
The Ice Crystal Snow Bear charged towards the group, leaping forward with a sudden burst of speed, its massive body like a small mountain hurtling towards them.
Its claws gleamed with a cold light, and the icy breath it exhaled almost froze the air.
However, just as it was about to pounce on them, Lan Minghua gently raised his hand, his fingertips drawing an elegant arc in the air.
"Whoosh—"
In an instant, a terrifying sword aura appeared out of nowhere, like a silver lightning bolt, slicing across the Ice Crystal Snow Bear's neck.
The Ice Crystal Snow Bear's movements came to an abrupt halt; its eyes still held a ferocious glint, but its body had already lost control.
The next second, its head slid off its neck, crashing heavily onto the snow with a dull thud.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, its blood, barely gushing out, frozen in the extreme cold, turning into a patch of scarlet ice crystals.
Lan Minghua withdrew his hand and said calmly, "We're in for a treat tonight."
Then he turned to Oscar and the others, saying, "You guys find a safe place nearby to set up camp. I'll handle this Ice Crystal Snow Bear."
After all, Lan Minghua had only ever seen bear paws in recipes.
Since they'd already transmigrated, they might as well try them.
Meanwhile, the three Lion Douluo's companions traversed the blizzard and arrived at the edge of the Frozen Forest.
Looking at the vast expanse of ice before them, the three of them became alert.
"We've arrived!"
