Chapter 348 - 45

Chapter 45: 200,000 Years Old Xiaobai vs. 100,000 Years Old Abyssal Ice Prison TigerEndless rage erupted like a volcano within Xiao Bai's innocent and loyal heart!She discarded the fish she had caught, let out an earth-shattering roar, and her massive body burst forth with terrifying speed completely disproportionate to her size.Following that faint yet clear plea for help, she charged towards the ice lake area like a white storm of destruction!When she arrived, she saw two Abyssal Ice Prison Tigers emitting an obnoxious aura, about to pounce on the cracked ice lake!And her mother's plea for help was coming from beneath the lake!Without any hesitation, Xiao Bai, eager to protect her mother, immediately unleashed her strongest attack.Her massive Ice Bear paw, imbued with ultimate frost and power, slapped the two hateful tigers away.At the same time, her other paw gently and precisely reached into the ice lake, scooping up the object that emitted her mother's aura.When her giant paw lifted that figure, Xiao Bai was stunned.It wasn't her mother's noble and beautiful ice and snow body as she had imagined, but a human youth, soaked and with a faint aura?What was going on?How could her mother's aura emanate from a human? And be so weak?Could her mother have been...?Just as Xiao Bai was startled and enraged, suspicion and fierce light began to flicker in her giant bear eyes, considering whether she should crush this suspicious human, a supremely familiar mental message, urgent and authoritative, resounded directly in her mind, "Xiao Bai, don't move, it's me!""Mother?" Xiao Bai's spirit suddenly jolted."Listen, Xiao Bai, I don't have time to explain all of this to you in detail right now.My physical body has long since dissipated.Now, my soul and this youth are one body with two souls, coexisting!If he dies, my soul will also have nowhere to reside and will completely dissipate.The weakness and plea for help you sensed are from us!Protect him, absolutely! Absolutely do not let those two Abyssal Ice Prison Tigers harm him in the slightest!He is me now!"Snow Empress's words were extremely fast, but her meaning was expressed with crystal clarity.Although Xiao Bai's mind was simple and straightforward, her trust in Snow Empress was absolute, and she would execute Snow Empress's commands without hesitation.Despite the incredibly bizarre situation, she instantly understood the most crucial information: this human youth and her mother were one; harming him was equivalent to harming her mother, and protecting him was protecting her mother!In just an instant, all suspicion and fierce light in Xiao Bai's eyes transformed into an incomparably firm resolve to protect!Her giant blue eyes looked at the semi-conscious Dai Youheng in her palm, and her gaze became exceptionally serious."Roar—!"Xiao Bai let out a declarative roar to the sky, no longer of anger, but filled with the determination to defend to the end!She carefully moved the semi-conscious Dai Youheng to the thick, warm fur behind her, gently securing him with a soft, ultimate ice spirit power, so he wouldn't fall and could also alleviate his injuries to some extent.Then, she turned around, and her giant blue eyes instantly became cold and filled with killing intent, locking onto the two Abyssal Ice Prison Tigers in front, who had just climbed out of the ice pile, shaking their heads and letting out threatening growls.The massive Ice Bear King stood like an insurmountable snow mountain, firmly guarding Dai Youheng.He might not understand what complex things had happened, but he knew that from now on, anyone who dared to harm a single hair on the youth behind him was aiming for the life of his mother, the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai.Then, there was only one choice: fight to the death!Xiao Bai's roar, declaring her protection, was like a battle horn, completely enraging the opposing 100,000-year Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger.As the overlord beneath this ice abyss, when had he ever suffered the humiliation of being slapped away? Especially by a mere Ice Bear!The 100,000-year Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger's four eyes turned blood-red, and he let out an even more violent roar.The black mist of his "Dark Zone" Domain, which permeated his body, suddenly became thicker, attempting to further suppress Xiao Bai's perception and power.His massive body suddenly stood upright, and his scorpion tail sting, gleaming with a cold, eerie light, was like a death-reaping scythe, leaving a trail of afterimages as it tore through the air, fiercely striking towards Xiao Bai's most vulnerable eyes.At the same time, his giant claw, covered in profound ice scales, also struck towards Xiao Bai's head with immense force, a two-pronged fatal killing move!However, although Xiao Bai's personality was simple and honest, his battle instincts had been honed through countless life-and-death struggles in the Extreme North Land!He completely ignored the Dark Zone, which could lower one's attributes.In terms of racial strength, the Ice Bear race was indeed inferior to the Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger race, but his 200,000 years of profound cultivation and incredibly powerful physique gave him extremely high resistance to such weakening effects.Facing the cunningly thrust scorpion tail sting, Xiao Bai's giant bear head suddenly tilted, and the sting grazed past the thick fur near his ear, creating a trail of ice crystal sparks.At the same time, his giant left paw, which had just slapped an enemy away, met the incoming tiger claw from above without hesitation!"Boom!"The bear paw and tiger claw clashed head-on without any frills.A terrifying wave of air exploded in a ring, once again lowering the surrounding ice surface, a pure collision of power.The 100,000-year Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger's body shook violently, his giant tiger claw numbed by the recoil, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.He hadn't expected this Ice Bear's strength to be so profound, far exceeding his estimation.Xiao Bai, having gained the upper hand, didn't relent, his right paw immediately slammed out, aiming directly at the Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger's relatively vulnerable waist and abdomen!The extreme cold contained in this paw strike seemed to freeze the very air.The Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger roared, the scales on his body shimmering with an eerie light, and a thick layer of dark-blue ice crystal armor instantly covered his body.This was his defensive Spirit Ability, Abyssal Ice Armor."Bang!" Xiao Bai's bear paw slammed heavily onto the ice armor, and most of the armor instantly shattered.The Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger was also sent staggering backward by this immense force; though not severely injured, his blood and qi churned.Just then, the 20,000-year-old young Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger tried to sneak attack, silently pouncing from the side towards Xiao Bai's shoulder, where Dai Youheng was secured, its scorpion tail sting thrusting downwards.Xiao Bai didn't even turn his head; his other free paw casually waved backward, as if swatting a fly.A highly condensed ice storm instantly formed, striking the young tiger like a heavy hammer."Woof!" The young tiger let out a mournful cry, directly sent flying by this irresistible force, crashing heavily into the distant ice wall.Its scales cracked, blood seeped out, and it struggled, unable to get up for a while.He couldn't even cause a slight damage to Xiao Bai's fur!A mere 20,000-year-old Spirit Beast could not intervene in the battle between a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast and a fierce beast.The true battlefield remained between Xiao Bai and the 100,000-year-old Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger.
