Chapter 122: Chapter 122 - "Ice Elemental Territory' is much harder! - 'Black Thunder?' - The Trials Of The Forebears (Part 30)
Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing could guess from the very moment they appeared in the 'Ice Elemental Territory' that this was a world of ice from the bone chilling coldness.
This stage was obviously much more harder and harsher than all the previous stage as the temperature drop was too severe and any normal cultivator even in foundation building stage would find it hard to survive if they do not consistently use spiritual energy barrier around their body.
Though, this 'Ice Elemental Territory' turned out to be the perfect and a very comfortable place for Su Yubing as her body Refining method 'Frost Quenching Method' is of ice element.
But even if she stayed here to specifically cultivate her body refining method, the result would still be negligible as to advance in this method, she felt even this pure ice element here was of not much use.
And from this, it could be seen just how high the grade of 'Frost Quenching Method' is.
At this time, they noticed a few moving creatures in the distance but even those looked bluish in color and if looked carefully these bear shaped creatures seems to be completely made up of ice!
Because, instead of pelts, they have ice hairs. And there's even a layer of ice armour around their body which protects their vital spots making them somewhat difficult to deal with.
Mo Yuxin took Su Yubing's hand and walked about an hour to observe their surroundings with a leisurely way. As if it wasn't some sort of life threatening trial but just a casual evening walk.
The more they observed the surroundings, the more things and peculiarities they found about this ice elemental territory.
First of all, there's an extremely harsh snow storm blowing through the whole territory with a gap of 10 minutes each. The terrain is extremely dangerous as there are sudden extremely deep crevices under the thick layer of ice.
And then there's a huge difference between this 'Ice Elemental Territory' and all the other territories they encountered before.
Before, in all the territories, there use to be only one species of beasts of rank 2 And rank 3 but this trial was different.
There were not only bear like creatures but also ice wolfs, ice golems, and even snakes made up of ice.
There were also bipedal creatures resembling humans but their whole body was covered with a shiny white hair.
And then there were even ice bird creatures flying high in the sky. It has a pointed beak which shines in the shallows sunlight and the Sharpness seems extremely terrifying.
But the most terrifying thing was that all the creatures they encountered were all rank 3!
Every single one of them. Though the numbers were obviously not high as the previous trials but all of them were either low level rank 3 or some stronger ones were mid level rank 3.
Good thing was that, these rank 3 beasts are naturally prideful and wouldn't easily for any sort of large group usually. It makes them and easier target and the small of groups of rank 3 beasts are not much of a trouble for Su Yubing. But it would definitely be a problem if a large number of rank 3 beasts form a group as that would make them harder to fight against.
After looking around for some time, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing got a grasp of what they were about to face in this territory and Su Yubing couldn't wait to fight here all the more as the ice elements all around the surroundings keep making her body subconsciously circulate the 'Frost Quenching Method' and it in turn gives her much more power than normal.
She felt full of strength and couldn't wait to just get started. Her eyes went to Mo Yuxin and the slightly excited smile on her face conveyed her wants and Mo Yuxin was happy to indulge her.
With this, Mo Yuxin was slightly behind Su Yubing and always kept her focus on her for any unexpected encounter but more so because she just liked seeing Su Yubing. Every move of her, every single step she takes, even the slightly fluttering eyes of hers gave Mo Yuxin and indescribable itch in the depths of her heart. She just couldn't seem to separate her eyes from following Su Yubing and she was happy to do that.
At this time, Su Yubing chose a mid level level rank 2 lone wolf. It didn't seem to be with any small or large group making it the perfect practice target for her.
The wolf also noticed Su Yubing when she was approaching it in a normal speed and it immediately jumped back slightly to form a relatively safe distance and began to observe her with its eyes full of undisguised caution and murderous intent.
The wolf seemed to have a better sense of survival as it growled at her with a threatening gaze as it could feel the danger emenating from Su Yubing and knew that running away wasn't a solution. It immediately took a stance as if it would pounce on her the next second and Su Yubing also took a stance as she immediately took out her sword and coated it with a thick layer of spiritual energy.
Su Yubing was the first to charge towards and she slashed at it with her sword but the wolf dodged her attack with inhuman speed. She swung her sword again and the wolf suddenly stretched out its paws and the hidden sharp claws immediately came out and intercepted her attack.
But even if it would withstand a few of Su Yubing's attacks but Su Yubing obviously didn't use much power and within the next few moves, Su Yubing immediately used critical strike to strike at it's neck and severed it from the Wolf's head.
The fight was over just like that but Su Yubing was obviously satisfied with with results. In this ice elemental territory, her speed and reaction seemed to have gone up by a few points and she couldn't help but feel much more energetic.
With this, Su Yubing again started her one sided slaughter against the thousands of rank 3 beasts.
But this time was obviously much harder than the trials before and she ended up taking more than 6 days to finally kill all the beasts.
Because the beasts here were all rank 3 and the species were also different that too with the frequent snow storm, her movements were definitely hindered more than once.
The different species were also hard to deal with, especially the snakes as these ice snakes would always dig into the deepest and snow and Su Yubing ended up loosing them many times and Mo Yuxin had to step up and help her find out its location and only then Su Yubing could properly fight it and kill it.
After the constant fighting in these 6 days, Su Yubing obviously felt a lot more improved as her speed as well as her strength has definitely gone up by a point. And most importantly, she could execute critical strike with a bit more proficiency than before.
This time, Mo Yuxin also had to fight quite a few times as sometimes, almost hundreds of rank 3 ice beasts of different species would join forces to defeat Su Yubing which almost overwhelmed her causing Mo Yuxin to finally step up and deal with them.
At the moment, the last of ice beasts were killed, the same mechanical voice sounded announcing congratulations for clearing the trial and the space crack also opened before them.
Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing didn't waste much time anymore and immediately stepped forward and in an instant, they appeared in a different place.
But the moment, they opened their eyes, they immediately felt a slight tingling sensation on the skin on their bodies but before they could observe the surroundings, the same announcement sounded again,
"Welcome to the next trial, this is the 'Thunder Elemental Territory'. This is the world of thunder as you can see..... Try to survive...
With the same contents but the thunder element is what caught the attention of Mo Yuxin the most.
Because at the very start, she has seen a wisp of black thunder in the thunder elemental territory from when she was in the safe zone and it was also at that time that she decided to capture this black thunder and keep it for herself.
With this thought, Mo Yuxin immediately started looking around the thunder elemental territory to try to observe the surroundings and see if the black thunder could be found.
Seeing her actions, Su Yubing was a little surprised as to why she was suddenly so curious about the surroundings and couldn't help but ask,
"What happened? Are you looking for something?
Hearing her questions Mo Yuxin turned to the side to look at her and immediately said,
"It's the black thunder.
Remember the black thunder we saw in this territory back when we were in the safe zone.....
