Chapter 20 Good Fortune Arrives (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

As night approached, the area remained brightly lit by the reflection of the countless snowflakes. However, the surroundings were no longer as silent as during the day. Countless nocturnal spirit beasts began to hunt, and their ferocious roars could be heard from time to time.

Shen Hanyu found a sheltered slope and quickly set up the tent.

The tent is made of soul beast hide, from a soul beast snow bear. It looks furry and is very thick and warm.

Unlike the powerful and warlike ice bear, the snow bear is a relatively gentle soul beast. Moreover, they are not just simple carnivorous soul beasts; they eat almost anything they can get their hands on and never attack humans unless provoked. In the far north, there are even many families that keep snow bears as pets.

Taking out dried earth dragon jerky from his soul tool and pairing it with pure white snow, Shen Hanyu managed to finish his dinner. He then wrapped himself in a red blanket from the Flame Lion and slowly lay down, his mental energy constantly on alert around him.

In the far north, vigilance must never be relaxed.

Midnight.

As the wind and snow gradually subsided, the thick fog around them slowly dissipated, and the crescent moon, which had been hidden behind the heavy clouds, gradually revealed itself, creating a scene reminiscent of a bright moon and sparse stars.

Suddenly, a ferocious roar of a beast rang out from afar, accompanied by a slight tremor.

Shen Hanyu, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, then quickly turned out of the tent and jumped onto a nearby snowdrift.

The distant snow and wind were constantly being scattered by the huge shockwave. With his amazing eyesight, Shen Hanyu could barely make out the two frenzied soul beasts.

The pursuing soul beast was enormous, resembling a rhinoceros, with a huge rhinoceros horn as sharp as a spear, gleaming coldly in the pale moonlight.

This soul beast is over fifteen meters long and over five meters tall, making it a behemoth.

One-Horned Ice Demon Rhino!

This is a warlike giant soul beast. Apart from the King Kong Baboon and Titan Giant Ape, and excluding sea soul beasts, it is probably the largest land soul beast in the soul beast world.

The powerful physique brings unparalleled strength. A hundred-year-old Ice Demon Rhinoceros can compete with some soul beasts that are thousands of years old in strength. With ten thousand years of cultivation, it can rival the strength of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. It can be called the top strength king in the soul beast world.

However, according to the general rule, powerful soul beasts usually do not have very prosperous clans, and the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros is no exception.

Like the Holy Light One-Horned Rhinoceros, this kind of soul beast is already on the verge of extinction. It is estimated that in a few thousand years, it will become a thing of the past that only appears in history books.

Based on its size of over fifteen meters, Shen Hanyu easily determined that this was a one-horned ice demon rhinoceros with over thirty thousand years of cultivation.

However, compared to the one-horned ice demon rhinoceros, Shen Hanyu was more concerned about a giant maggot... oops, an ice silkworm... that was wriggling rapidly in front of him.

This ice silkworm is different from other ice silkworms. Not only is it huge, over seven meters long, but it is also completely jade white from head to tail, with nine golden stripes evenly distributed on its entire body, shimmering with a faint golden light. Its small eyes are also golden, and its head is round and plump, making it look like it's easy to bully.

Simply put, this is a pretty ice silkworm, even somewhat endearing. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that it was running away and howling in pain, Shen Hanyu would have even found it rather cute.

"Help! Is there anyone kind enough to save the handsome and intelligent Tianmeng-ge?!"

"Tch, you big rhinoceros, you're no match for me. With a mere 30,000 years of cultivation, you think you can hunt down me, the mighty Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with 990,000 years of cultivation..."

"Hey, hey, hey, I just said a few words to you, why are you getting so worked up? I'm not saying this to be mean, but you're really petty..."

As clear sounds reached Shen Hanyu's ears, a smile crept onto his face.

It really came so easily, it was like God just handed them a meal...

At that moment, Shen Hanyu, carrying the Frost Sky Spear, quickly ran towards the two beasts, his speed so fast that his figure was almost illusory.

Despite its plump appearance, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is surprisingly fast, maintaining a safe distance from the Unicorn Ice Demon Rhinoceros.

The one-horned ice rhinoceros let out a roar, and its four hooves swung like rockets, increasing its speed even further.

"No, you stinky rhinoceros, what are you doing?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally realized something was wrong. Turning around and looking at the one-horned ice demon rhinoceros so close to her, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets...

"Hey, Rhino, how about we sit down and have a proper talk?"

"Have mercy! Aaaaaah..."

Shen Hanyu followed closely behind the two soul beasts and couldn't help but find Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's strange statement somewhat amusing.

Sure enough, this ice silkworm is truly...unique...

As the cold wind dispersed the thin mist, the distant coastline became clearly visible, the sound of the waves grew stronger, and the air was filled with the distinctive salty smell of the sea.

Shen Hanyu seized the opportunity, and his first and third spirit rings lit up at the same time. The energy on the spear blade continued to gather, and the massive energy made the surrounding air viscous.

Shen Hanyu concealed his aura very well. The One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros was not very intelligent to begin with, and at this moment, it was enraged by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and was focused on killing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Naturally, it did not notice Shen Hanyu hiding beside it.

Shen Hanyu seized the opportunity, exerted force with both legs, and thrust the Frostfire Spear, carrying terrifying killing intent, towards the heart of the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros.

By the time it realized what was happening, the Frostfire Spear had already pierced its tough skin, deeply penetrating its flesh and heading straight for its heart.

The next moment, a scene that left everyone speechless unfolded.

The Frostfire Spear seemed to have encountered some indestructible divine iron, abruptly halting its advance, and was then violently hurled out of the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros's body by a terrifying force.

The One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros let out a roar laced with pain, its dark eyes bloodshot. In the next instant, it decisively abandoned the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was already within its grasp, and aimed its massive, sharp horn at Shen Hanyu, who had revealed himself.

Shen Hanyu cursed under his breath and was about to dodge when he discovered that no matter which direction he moved, the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhino could always accurately lock onto his position.

Soul Skill Locked!

A skill flashed through Shen Hanyu's mind. Looking at the approaching One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros, he was momentarily at a loss.

Faced with a terrifying soul beast whose strength could rival that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, all his attacks, except for a sneak attack that could kill in one blow, seemed meaningless—that was the truth.

But the next moment, the one-horned ice rhinoceros froze in place, its eyes filled with endless confusion, standing stiffly motionless.

At the same time, a voice suddenly rang out directly in his mind:

"Humans, act now!"

Shen Hanyu instantly regained his senses and, looking at the enormous head before him, thrust his spear directly into the brain, stirring it violently several times. In less than ten seconds, he had thrust dozens of times until the white, milky brain matter flowed out with the spearhead.

As the black spirit ring slowly appeared, Shen Hanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze shifted to the side, but he nearly bumped into a giant ice silkworm that was tilting its head and scrutinizing him…

Shen Hanyu was taken aback. The two stared at each other, and an awkward atmosphere ensued.
