The edge of the Extreme North Land.
The battle between Jin Mian and the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai continued.
The man and the bear were locked in a fierce, inseparable struggle, fighting on equal terms.
Due to the language barrier.
Xiao Bai could understand Jin Mian's words but could not speak human language; Jin Mian could speak, but he could not understand the beast language.
He mistakenly thought...
...that the Ice Bear King wanted to attack him.
So he continued to dodge and counterattack.
But in reality, Xiao Bai just wanted to bring Jin Mian back.
So that he could go back to sleep.
He had once heard that an Ice Silkworm had managed to cultivate into a Million-Year Spirit Beast just by sleeping.
So he wanted to try this method as well.
Seeing the Ice Bear King pursuing him relentlessly.
Jin Mian complained speechlessly, "Look, brother, did I do something to offend you? Why are you chasing me like this?"
During the battle just now.
He hadn't used his full strength.
He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he might kill the Ice Bear King.
That would anger the Snow Empress, which would be troublesome.
Because he still needed to make a deal with the Snow Empress.
The Extreme North Land was vast.
Who knew which layer of ice or which cave the ice extreme divine crystal was hidden in.
And the Snow Empress had lived here since her birth.
She might know the location of the ice extreme divine crystal.
"Roar, roar, roar (Who wants to chase you? If it weren't for my foster mother telling me to bring you back, I wouldn't bother with you)," Xiao Bai roared.
"This can't go on."
"No choice then."
"I'll have to knock him out first."
With that.
Jin Mian's expression became serious.
Unexpectedly, at that moment.
An unfamiliar, extremely cold aura rapidly approached.
An emerald-green scorpion tail struck directly at Jin Mian.
Jin Mian nimbly dodged, and as soon as he landed.
Ultimate Ice energy instantly froze his legs.
Then, a cold female voice rang out: "Don't move! Or else, die!"
Looking up, he saw a giant scorpion, emerald green all over with a Jin Mian on its head, appearing before him.
At the same time, a powerful aura came from behind.
Jin Mian immediately knew who the newcomers were.
Because the system's notification sound had already rung.
[Ding! Host has encountered the Snow Empress! Sign-in successful!]
[Reward: One shapeshifting pill!]
[Next sign-in mission: Snow Empress's Palace!]
Regarding the suddenly completed mission.
Jin Mian was quite surprised.
He never expected that just after complaining about not knowing where to find the Snow Empress.
She would find him herself.
And not just the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress had actually come as well.
It was truly a case of finding something without effort after searching everywhere.
On the other side.
The Ice Empress had already transformed into human form.
Standing on the Ice Bear King's shoulder, she was scolding him harshly.
"Xiao Bai, didn't I tell you to catch the intruder?"
"Why are you tangled up with a human Soul Master?"
"And with your ability, you haven't taken him down after all this time."
"Have you been sleeping so much lately that your cultivation has regressed?"
Facing the Ice Empress's scolding, Xiao Bai pointed at Jin Mian and let out a resentful roar.
"Alright, Bing'er, stop scolding Xiao Bai." The Snow Empress stepped forward and interrupted the Ice Empress's scolding, then turned to Xiao Bai and asked, "What's the situation? Where is the intruding Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast?"
Xiao Bai pointed at Jin Mian: "Roar, roar (He's the one.)"
"Him?" The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress looked at Jin Mian simultaneously.
Their voices were filled with disbelief.
Because from any angle, Jin Mian was just a human.
The Ice Empress jumped up and gave Xiao Bai a hard thump: "You idiot, this is clearly just a human. How is he a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast? He's not even a transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast."
"Don't forget, what we sensed was the aura of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast."
"Whimper~" Xiao Bai let out a somewhat aggrieved cry.
At this time, Jin Mian interjected.
"If you're talking about the intruder, then it is indeed me."
"As for the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast aura, that was also my doing."
Hearing this.
The two Empresses, Ice and Snow, turned around at the same time.
The Ice Empress looked skeptical: "Human boy, you don't look very old, but you sure talk big. Have you even seen a Spirit Beast above the hundred-thousand-year level?"
"I have. Aren't you two exactly that?" Jin Mian said calmly.
This left the Ice Empress speechless.
The Snow Empress sized up Jin Mian; seeing his demeanor, it didn't seem like he was lying.
Moreover, this person was able to fight back and forth with Xiao Bai just now.
One must know.
Xiao Bai's cultivation had reached two hundred thousand years.
This human was not only able to hold out for so long under Xiao Bai's attacks without being killed.
But could even counterattack.
He must indeed have some strength.
After some thought, she said, "How do you prove that the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast aura was emitted by you?"
Seeing that they didn't believe him.
Jin Mian didn't waste many words.
He directly showed his power.
Three black and five red, a total of eight Soul Rings appeared around him.
"How about it? Do you believe me now?" Jin Mian smiled.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress widened their beautiful eyes, looking shocked.
The face-slapping came too fast.
"100,000-year spirit rings?! And more than one!"
"But how could a Spirit Douluo have so many 100,000-year spirit rings?"
"Wait, that Dark Gold Dreadclaw..."
The Ice Empress said with a face full of suspicion.
But before she could finish, Jin Mian displayed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw right palm bone.
As for why Jin Mian didn't break free from the ice and run away.
Instead, he obediently showed his strength.
That was because the Snow Empress and Ice Empress in front of him were no ordinary Spirit Beasts.
One had a cultivation of seven hundred thousand years and possessed the Ultimate Snow attribute. If converted to a Soul Master's combat power, she would be at least a Level 99 Peerless Douluo.
And the kind with few rivals.
As for the other one, she had nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation and was an Ultimate Ice attribute possessor. Converted to a Soul Master's combat power, she was roughly around a rank 97 Super Douluo.
Plus the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai from just now.
How could he run?
Not to mention, this was the Extreme North Land, which provided a home-field advantage for the Snow Empress and the others.
Forget Jin Mian today.
Even if Di Tian came, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
So it was better to be a bit more stable.
Furthermore.
He still needed to trade with the Snow Empress.
Before trading, he had to let them understand the situation.
"Human, what is your name?"
"What business do you have in the Extreme North Land?"
After a moment of surprise, the Snow Empress returned to her cold-as-frost appearance and asked.
Jin Mian did not hide anything and replied, "Jin Mian. I've come here to make a deal with you, Snow Empress."
This piqued the Snow Empress's interest.
A human had traveled thousands of miles to the Extreme North Land.
And actually wanted to make a deal with her.
This was truly a novelty in hundreds of thousands of years.
"Oh? A deal?"
"What kind of deal do you want to make with this Empress?"
"Could it be that you want this Empress to help you hunt for a Soul Ring?"
Jin Mian shook his head: "I am not an ice-attribute Soul Master. The Spirit Beasts of the Extreme North Land are of no use to me. Moreover, it's not yet time for me to hunt for my next Soul Ring."
The Snow Empress frowned: "Then what is the content of the deal you want?"
"I want you, Snow Empress..."
