Chapter 73 Frost Serpent Demon
Before Shen Hanyu could even process what was happening, his body had already sprung up, leaping several meters away and fixing his gaze on the woman who was at least two meters tall.
The woman had long, light blue hair, and her armor was embedded in her body like scales. Unlike ordinary people, her pupils were gray and lifeless. Her face was not stunningly beautiful, but it had a unique charm that made people unconsciously fall in love with her.
Unlike last time, this time the upper part of her body is no longer a snake's tail, but human legs.
Those perfectly proportioned long legs were exposed to the wind and snow, as lovely as white jade.
Shen Hanyu didn't consider himself short. After absorbing several soul rings and soul bones, his height had increased significantly, and he was now at least 1.9 meters tall. However, when facing this woman with legs that were comparable to a goddess, he was still only about half a head shorter.
"Don't be nervous, I've seen you before... or rather, I've seen you in that big bug's memories."
The Frost Serpent Demon slowly withdrew her jade hand and spoke softly.
Shen Hanyu remained vigilant, but outwardly remained calm as he sized up the seemingly harmless Frost Serpent Demon.
Even if the opponent is not in good condition, it is still a ferocious beast that is 200,000 years old and has a rare extreme ice attribute. In the far north, it can even fight against a regular level 98 Super Douluo. It is undeniably powerful.
Seeing that Shen Hanyu remained silent, the Frost Serpent Demon gave a helpless smile and said:
"Our Frost Serpent clan possesses an extremely unique spiritual talent: through contact with our spiritual power, we can steal some of the other's memories. Of course, this talent has side effects that would take us ten thousand years to recover from. That giant insect's spiritual power was indeed very strong, enough to completely conceal your aura, but it was too careless and underestimated a ferocious beast. I still saw quite a few fragments of memories, and all of those memories were about you, Shen Hanyu..."
Tianmeng's eyes nearly popped out of her head in the sea of consciousness, and she weakly said:
"Hanyu, um... if I said I had absolutely no idea about this, would you... would you believe me?"
Shen Hanyu offered a few words of comfort, saying that although Tianmeng knew many secrets, it had been asleep for most of the past million years, so it was absolutely impossible for it to know everything.
"Tell me your purpose."
Shen Hanyu shrugged, his aura gradually calming down. In his current state, fighting the Frost Serpent Demon in the far north seemed rather foolish.
The Frost Serpent Demon took a few steps forward, closing the distance between itself and Shen Hanyu once again.
The strange fragrance grew even stronger. Shen Hanyu sniffed, but didn't pay it any mind. After all, toxins were nothing to worry about.
"It's simple. I want to confirm whether you possess any divine inheritance..."
The Frost Serpent Demon's breath was as fragrant as orchids, creating a stark contrast with her aloof demeanor, and for a moment, she truly possessed a captivating charm.
Shen Hanyu took a step back without making a sound, and said calmly:
"If I say yes, what are you planning to do?"
Upon receiving Shen Hanyu's affirmative answer, the Frost Serpent Demon smiled brightly and said:
"That's for the best. Can you tell me what your purpose is in coming to the far north?"
Tianmeng was also somewhat puzzled and asked curiously in her sea of consciousness:
"Hanyu, bro, something seems off about this beautiful snake woman. Could it be that she's been captivated by our domineering presence?"
Shen Hanyu ignored him, slightly surprised, but still said:
"Would an ordinary Soul Master come to a place like this for no reason? It's simple, I'm here to hunt for Soul Rings."
The Frost Serpent Demon slowly approached Shen Hanyu. Its long legs had somehow transformed back into a serpent tail, which slowly coiled around Shen Hanyu's body before tightening. Then, it whispered in Shen Hanyu's ear:
"Then let me guess, your ultimate goal is this beautiful snake, who is severely injured and near death, right? Hmm? Speak."
A chilling blue aura emanated from Shen Hanyu's right arm. The next moment, the Frost Serpent Demon was jolted back two steps by this energy, and the playful expression on its face slowly melted away, finally transforming into a pure smile as it said:
"It seems you're right. This power isn't something a human like you can possess so easily. Very well, it seems the heavens haven't forsaken me, Shen Hanyu. From today onwards, I'm sticking with you~"
As the light on his right arm slowly faded, Shen Hanyu glanced at the Frost Serpent Demon and said softly:
"Soul beasts cannot become gods on their own. This is an ironclad rule of the divine realm. If you dare to try, someone will grind you to dust the next moment."
The Frost Serpent Demon sighed softly and said:
"I am also unaware of this matter, or rather, none of the ferocious beasts are willing to believe it. I have almost forgotten when it started, but from a certain moment, an invisible shackle has firmly and completely blocked the sky above our soul beasts. I have felt this deeply for the past 100,000 years, so I have chosen you..."
As she spoke, the Frost Serpent Demon's face revealed excitement, and she said:
"That giant worm is just like that, isn't it? It sacrificed itself to you but retained its own consciousness. As long as you successfully become a god, it will surely ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop. My meaning is very clear. As intelligent as you are, you must have already made the right decision..."
Shen Hanyu's lips curled into a smile as he said:
"I welcome you to join our high-stakes gamble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Hanyu's body went limp uncontrollably. The Frost Serpent Demon caught him with lightning speed, ensuring that Shen Hanyu's head landed on a soft surface.
The rich fragrance of her body filled Shen Hanyu's nostrils, and the soft touch made him feel a little dizzy.
"Hehehe, this isn't poison, little brother. Hmm... if you really want to call it that, it's not entirely wrong. The feeling of aphrodisiacs isn't pleasant, is it? This is my unique skill. Who told you to trust your sister so much? You can only blame yourself for being too careless..."
"I'm so sorry, I've lived for over two hundred thousand years and I've never experienced the pleasure of that kind of thing. You're such a kind person, you surely won't refuse to help me fulfill this wish!"
In the blur, Shen Hanyu could only see large swathes of white snow swaying before his eyes, and the swaying laughter of the Frost Serpent Demon.
To this, Shen Hanyu, pinned beneath him, could only roar:
You vixen! If you're so capable, don't use poison. If you have a book, fight me fair and square with your full-force gun...
