Unfamiliar Acquaintance

Chapter 69 Unfamiliar Acquaintance

Seeing that the Snow Wolf King had not suffered any serious damage, the Snow Spirit Deer Soul Saint's face paled even more. His third soul ring lit up, and a holy Snow Spirit Deer phantom appeared behind him. The dazzling light blew up the surrounding snow, and for a moment, the wind and snow filled the sky.

Shen Hanyu was also taken aback. He could clearly sense that the fifth soul skill of this Soul Saint, which had just been enhanced by the Martial Soul True Body, was definitely not weak. However, the defensive ability of this Snow Wolf King was indeed somewhat unexpected, and could even be said to be ridiculously strong.

As the snowstorm blanketed the area, Snow Spirit Deer Soul Saint gritted his teeth and channeled all his soul power to chase after the direction where his classmates had just left.

The Snow Wolf King, meanwhile, nonchalantly licked its wounds before slowly lowering its head to sniff them. Then, with a powerful leap, it chased after the wolf at an incredible speed.

Shen Hanyu's eyes narrowed, his wings flapped, and he quickly followed.

He always felt that this soul beast was too intelligent, not at all like a snow wolf, let alone the leisurely state it had, like a soul beast monarch. It was as if, in its eyes, these humans were not the food it wanted to hunt, but toys it used to play with in its spare time.

…………

High in the sky, Shen Hanyu carefully examined the soul beast below, which was only a little over 60,000 years old.

Its slender and agile body, its mouth full of sharp teeth, and its highly camouflaging fur are all obvious characteristics of a snow wolf, but Shen Hanyu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Time passed slowly, and the faint moonlight gently fell through the thick clouds. The giant wolf, which was moving at a leisurely pace on the ground, suddenly looked up and let out a howl. A veil of moonlight slowly descended, finally settling on the giant wolf as if it were nothing. The giant wolf's fur also slowly changed from white to a dazzling bright silver, and its body grew once again, reaching more than ten meters.

Tianmeng, who had just woken up in Shen Hanyu's sea of ​​consciousness, stared at the magnificent giant wolf below, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. She muttered to herself:

"I think my brother must be getting senile. How could he possibly see the Frost Moon Wolf King in a place like this? No, no, I must go back and get some sleep. It must be because I've been missing Bingbing too much lately that I'm hallucinating..."

As she was saying this, Tianmeng prepared to lie down and go back to sleep, but Shen Hanyu interrupted her.

"Tianmeng, wake up, you're not hallucinating."

Shen Hanyu rubbed his temples and said irritably.

For four whole hours, he kept a close eye on the five men and the wolf. He saw that the injured woman among the five women had completely fallen into a coma, and the other four were already exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

The giant wolf followed the five women for several hundred meters, showing no sign of urgency, as if it were taking a stroll in its own park.

Tianmeng rubbed her eyes, finally waking up a bit from her drowsy state. Then, she suddenly came to her senses, looked at the agile giant wolf below, and said somewhat urgently to Shen Hanyu:

"Holy crap! Han Yu, what kind of luck do you have? You actually managed to encounter a soul beast that's already extinct. Let me tell you, this soul beast is called the Frost Moon Sky Wolf. This kind of soul beast is very peculiar. Their race has no males, only females, so their reproduction relies entirely on their racial talent of absorbing moonlight energy to condense an embryo. Therefore, this kind of soul beast is also known as the moonlight messenger walking among humans."

"But unlike the Holy Light Unicorn, which is formed from pure light energy, and those auspicious beasts that are born with good fortune, this kind of soul beast inherited the cunning and wisdom of wolves because it chose to transform into a wolf-type soul beast. I haven't seen a live one in all these years in the far north, and I didn't expect you to encounter one so easily..."

Tianmeng's words made Shen Hanyu fall into deep thought. According to Tianmeng, the soul beast below was indeed not an ordinary snow wolf, but a special soul beast called Frost Moon Sky Wolf. It just didn't get moonlight during the day, so it looked like an ordinary snow wolf. No wonder it was so deceptive.

Thinking of this, Shen Hanyu was filled with anticipation; he couldn't wait to taste what the life force of this life form, composed purely of energy, tasted like...

Moreover, even if he wasn't coveting the other party's energy, the person this soul beast was chasing was suspected to be a teacher from Tianshui Academy. Regardless of whether it was out of kindness or for other reasons, he would choose to take action, since it wouldn't be a loss for him either way.

Having made up his mind, Shen Hanyu slowly lowered his altitude, but instead of taking out his long and large Frost Sky Spear, he chose to use his newly acquired second martial soul.

A powerful aura slowly descended, and blue and red soul power surged, quickly attracting the attention of Frost Moon Wolf.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Shen Hanyu, a hint of fear appeared in the Frost Moon Wolf's enormous pupils. Its agile body slightly bent, its limbs strained, and a mouthful of sharp fangs was exposed as it let out a demonstrative growl at Shen Hanyu.

The four women, whose physical strength was nearing its limit, seemed to see a glimmer of hope and slowly stopped, collapsing to the ground and panting heavily. The Soul Saint woman quickly went to the side of the injured and unconscious woman, took out a pill and gave it to her, then stared intently at the man and beast still confronting each other.

As one of the strongest individuals in Tianshui Academy, second only to the dean, she may not have an outstanding martial soul, but she is quite intelligent, which is why she and the other women were able to endure the pursuit of a soul beast that lasted for as long as 60,000 years.

She remained as wary of Shen Hanyu as she was of the soul beast, since in this desolate snowfield, human nature could sometimes be far more terrifying than a soul beast.

Shen Hanyu ignored their gazes. His sharp dragon claws slashed through the air, instantly severing snowflakes as if they had been frozen in place. The power and speed of this attack would have instantly killed any ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but the Frost Moon Sky Wolf King simply turned slightly to the side and dodged it. Its agile body transformed into a silver-white streak in the air, and the next moment, its sharp wolf claws were already in front of Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu stopped Tianmeng from helping, quickly dodging the swift attack. He leaped into the air, and a loud dragon roar emanated from his mouth, echoing for dozens of miles across the vast snowfield. The roar stirred up the nearby snow, causing countless powerful soul beasts to respond, creating the illusion that all beasts were bowing down to him.
