Chapter 72: Assassination Ambush.
The group soon arrived at the Frozen Forest.
The sponsor didn't say much along the way.
There was absolutely no intention to communicate with the crowd.
Yu Xiaolie glanced at the wealthy patron who was quietly following at the back of the group.
This guy's personality seems a bit strange.
It feels like I don't want to talk to anyone, like I'm a bit withdrawn?
Perhaps all ice-attribute Soul Masters have this tendency to some extent.
Yu Xiaolie didn't think much of it and led everyone forward.
"Big patron, what is your martial soul? Why did you specifically choose to hunt the Ice and Snow Demon Spider?"
As soon as they stepped into the frozen forest, Haote approached the sugar daddy and asked questions like a curious child.
Upon hearing Haote's question, the financier did not speak, but merely glanced at Haote before turning his head away.
"Hey, big spender, why aren't you saying anything?"
Haote persisted, seemingly wanting to know more about this sugar daddy.
So far, the only information they know is that this benefactor is a Soul King who is about to break through.
"Okay, stop asking."
Yu Xiaolie turned around and glanced at Haote.
Although this benefactor has an eccentric personality, there are plenty of eccentric people in the world.
"But he doesn't say anything, so we don't know anything."
Haote couldn't help but speak up.
"Alright, be quiet. It's been two years, and you haven't improved at all."
Chu Huaizhou pulled Haote aside with a sigh and whispered a warning, "Don't worry about who the sugar daddy is or what his name is. You just need to know that he's the sugar daddy and he's giving you money, understand?"
"We don't serve anyone, we only serve money, understand?"
"Can't you have some professional ethics?"
Chu Huaizhou's warning made Haote purse his lips. "Oh, okay."
"Go this way."
Suddenly, the investor, who had been silent and even somewhat withdrawn, pointed in a direction.
"Why..."
"Obey orders!"
Before Haote could speak, Chu Huaizhou grabbed him by the neck and pulled him to his side.
"Okay, this way."
Having just changed direction under the guidance of their benefactor, the group, after walking for a while, changed direction again under the same benefactor's guidance.
In fact, hunting soul beasts is quite random.
Normally, they would wander randomly through the frozen forest and find it if they were lucky.
If you're unlucky, it can take several days to get there.
However, during this period, the sponsor frequently provided guidance to everyone.
"He seems quite familiar with it? Like he knows where the spirit beasts are?"
Inside the group, Azi couldn't help but start discussing it.
"Oh dear, they're a big spender, they must have some tricks up their sleeve, otherwise how could they find us without any clue?"
Hao Te, standing to the side, looked quite mature and said, "Don't worry about all that. Just follow along. Can't you have some professionalism?"
"Get out of the way."
Azi rolled her eyes.
"stop."
After searching in the forest for three days, the group found a cave at the foot of a mountain.
The sponsor spoke up here, stopping everyone.
Although he didn't speak, everyone knew that the ice cave in front of them was the habitat of the Ice and Snow Demon Spider.
Chu Huaizhou placed an ice silkworm in front of the cave.
This is the Ice Demon Spider's favorite food.
Once the aura of the Ice Silkworm is sensed, the Ice Demon Spider will definitely appear.
Sure enough, the ice silkworm had only been wriggling for a short while.
Suddenly, a single thread shot out and entangled the ice silkworm.
The next moment, a spider leg stepped out of the cave.
Then came the other spider legs.
Soon, the figure of the Ice and Snow Spider was fully revealed.
This is a spider that is three meters tall, covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, with several thick barbs on the ice and snow.
This size looks like it's 15,000 years old.
It was currently spitting out silk from its mouth, slowly wrapping the ice silkworm.
If you look closely, you'll find that the composition of these threads doesn't resemble fibers at all, but rather ice and snow.
"Let's do it!"
"The Light that Slays Evil!"
The moment Chu Huaizhou saw the Ice Demon Spider begin to wrap around the Ice Silkworm and intend to take it back to the cave, he immediately gave the order.
The cave is the home ground of the Ice and Snow Spiders, so they naturally wouldn't go to someone else's house to fight.
The soul ring behind Chu Huaizhou lit up, and a golden wave of light instantly struck the Ice and Snow Demon Spider.
The others also quickly launched their attack.
"The Light of Green Leaves!"
Azi also quickly unleashed her amplification-type soul skill.
"hiss!"
The Ice and Snow Demon Spider is, after all, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Although its intelligence is not as great as that of fox-type soul beasts, it has at least developed sentience.
Coupled with their biological instincts, they immediately launched a counterattack the moment they were attacked.
With a roar from the Ice Demon Spider, countless ice spikes instantly appeared on the surrounding ground.
"Depend on!"
One of the team members, a speed-attack type Soul Master whose Martial Soul is the Ice Wolf, was pierced by an ice spike as soon as he got close to the Ice Demon Spider.
At this moment, he let out a roar.
"The light of healing!"
Azi hurriedly released a soul skill, summoning a blade of grass to cover the Ice Wolf Soul Master's body, slowing down his injuries.
"Damn, this thing is different from what the intelligence said."
The Ice Wolf Soul Sect quickly changed their position and advanced from another location.
Based on the information they had previously gathered, the Ice Demon Spider does not possess the ability to launch ice spike attacks from the ground.
"It's probably some kind of mutation, otherwise it wouldn't be able to be chased and killed."
Haote pursed his lips.
He was standing at the very back of the group, tasked with protecting Azi and her sugar daddy.
At this moment, the sugar daddy was standing about ten meters away from Azi.
He silently watched as everyone hunted down the soul beasts, and even witnessed the Ice Wolf Soul Master being injured; a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He seemed to be secretly laughing.
It was clearly an attitude of "it's none of my business."
However, since he was the big spender and had paid for it, the team members couldn't say anything against his attitude.
The biggest challenge in hunting this demonic spider is that it can use the force of the ice and snow to escape at any time, and its eight legs mean it can take on multiple opponents.
Therefore, the members of the Red Guard squad must work together seamlessly.
"Breath of Devouring!"
The dragon cub behind Yu Xiaolie rushed to the side of the Ice and Snow Demon Spider, and the suction force it released absorbed all the spider silk released by the Ice and Snow Demon Spider.
This gave others ample room to contribute.
"Ice Spikes!"
A Soul Master with the Martial Soul of Ice Sword swiftly rushed to the side of the Ice and Snow Demon Spider.
He pierced one of the Ice and Snow Spider's legs with a single sword strike.
The next moment, the Ice Demon Spider's other leg stabbed fiercely at the Ice Sword Soul Sect.
Ice Sword Soul Master turned to retreat, but the speed of the ten-thousand-year-old spider soul beast far surpassed that of a Soul Master.
"Paralysis Light!"
"Frost Impact!"
Several teammates hurriedly unleashed their soul skills, attempting to rescue the Ice Sword Soul Master.
Unfortunately, the Ice and Snow Demon Spider's legs had already pierced into the Ice Sword Soul Sect's abdomen.
There's simply not enough time.
Fortunately, they avoided a vital spot.
The team member quickly retreated.
It cannot be cured in a short period of time.
Ah Zi's healing ability is not that strong.
Upon seeing this, the patron's lips twitched once again.
"Hot!"
Chu Huaizhou rushed to the side of the Ice and Snow Demon Spider, getting close enough to engage in close combat.
He shouted Haote's name loudly.
The next moment, Haote's body rushed to the side of the Ice and Snow Demon Spider.
"The Wrath of the Giant Bear!"
Behind Haote, the Snow Soul Demon Bear slapped the Ice Snow Demon Spider hard with its paw.
The Ice Demon Spider wanted to release ice silk to trap Haote.
Unfortunately, the skill was rendered ineffective by Yu Xiaolie's devouring.
Only one spider leg can be used to attack again.
"Holy Light!"
Chu Huaizhou hurriedly released his soul skill to repel the Ice and Snow Demon Spider.
However, the Ice and Snow Spider was too fast. Even though it was repelled by the soul skill, it still managed to pierce Haote's arm with one of its spider legs.
"You're injured, hide in the back."
The agility-based members of the Ice Wolf Martial Soul charged forward once again, piercing through the legs of the Ice Demon Spider.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury, it's nothing serious!"
Haote grinned, and his muscles began to bulge.
They continued to cooperate with Chu Huaizhou, restricting the Ice and Snow Demon Spider at close range.
With Yu Xiaolie's soul skills restricted, Hao Te, Chu Huaizhou, and several other offensive soul masters facing close-combat limitations.
The other teammates unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Currently, this Ice Demon Spider is missing three legs.
Only the last five legs remained.
Their combat strength has been greatly reduced.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the Ice Demon Spider finally collapsed to the ground.
This was quite a waste of everyone's efforts.
"knife."
A voice rang out beside Chu Huaizhou.
This startled Chu Huaizhou.
Suddenly turning around, I realized it was the sugar daddy.
Why didn't I notice this sugar daddy approaching?
Moreover, this benefactor seems to have been hiding his martial spirit all along, even when dealing with this dying demon spider, he still chose the most common hunting method of cold weapons.
Chu Huaizhou didn't say much, but took out a knife and handed it to his benefactor.
The sponsor nodded and then walked up to the Ice and Snow Spider.
The blade plunged deep into the head of the Ice Demon Spider.
The patron wasn't worried about the spider suddenly rebelling, as Haote was guarding the close combat area, and Yu Xiaolie was suppressing it from a distance.
With a single strike, a faint black spirit ring floated out.
The patron remained silent, simply sitting down to begin absorbing the spirit ring.
"Phew... Thanks to you, Xiao Lie."
Haote took out bandages and began to wrap them around himself, saying as he did so.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaolie's restraint, Haote would probably be dead by now.
Ice Sword Soul Sect member, who was standing to the side, also began to bandage himself, while A Zi treated him.
Yu Xiaolie glanced at Haote, said nothing, and simply walked to the side to begin guarding the area.
They also have to protect their sugar daddy.
...
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, countless ice swords pierced towards the group's position.
"Get out of the way!"
Chu Huaizhou let out a gasp.
"Breath of Devouring!"
The dragon cub behind Yu Xiaolie rushed forward and absorbed all of the ice sword.
Who is it?
Chu Huaizhou walked to the front of the group, his body covered in a layer of golden armor, cautiously and warily looking ahead.
The next moment, five figures appeared one after another, all activating their martial spirits, clearly ready for a great battle.
The leader was a five-ring Soul King, whose martial soul was the Snow Demon Blade.
Beside him was another Soul King, whose martial soul was the Ice Shadow Falcon.
Secondly, there are three Soul Masters, whose Martial Souls are Wind Chaser Arrow, Bloodthirsty Bear, and Ice Wolf, respectively.
"With this martial spirit configuration, you are... the Dragon Slayer Hunting Team?"
Chu Huaizhou narrowed his eyes and let out a gasp.
Is this the former number one team?
Although the number of enemies was not large, among Yu Xiaolie's group, only Chu Huaizhou was a Soul King.
The rest were all Soul Masters, and even two Soul Venerables, Yu Xiaolie and Haote.
"Bloodlust Slash!"
"Shadow Arrow!"
The opponent didn't waste any words and immediately unleashed two soul skills, clearly indicating that it was a fight to the death.
"Protect your big spender!"
Chu Huaizhou roared and charged forward, shouting, "Light of Extermination!"
"Breath of Devouring!"
Yu Xiaolie absorbed all the soul skills of the two Soul Masters.
Chu Huaizhou's evil-slaying light rushed forward rapidly.
"Snow Soul Blade!"
Snow Demon Blade Soul King unleashed a slash, attempting to fight Chu Huaizhou's Demon-Slaying Light to a standstill.
However, the next moment, the Soul King was surprised to find that his soul skills and soul power had been absorbed.
"Ice Protection!"
Not daring to be negligent, Snow Demon Blade hurriedly released his soul skill to protect himself.
"boom!"
The light of slaying evil struck the protective frost fiercely, emitting a piercing shriek.
"Shadow Kill!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Yu Xiaolie.
"The Wrath of the Giant Bear!"
"Paralysis Light!"
The next moment, two soul skills landed on the Ice Shadow Falcon Soul King.
The Soul King's body stiffened as he was slapped hard by the bear's paw, causing him to shrink in size.
Yu Xiaolie suddenly stretched out his hand and gripped the man's neck tightly.
The figure vanished in the next moment.
It turned out to be just a clone.
"Tsk, troublesome."
Snow Demon Blade shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
Yu Xiaolie's existence is so annoying.
If they can't get rid of Yu Xiaolie.
Under his Devouring Breath, they were completely suppressed.
Once Yu Xiaolie activates this soul skill, their soul skills will have little effect.
Even if it is released, the effect is greatly reduced.
There are already few people.
They were also suppressed.
There's no way to fight this.
"Go and stop him."
Chu Huaizhou quickly retreated, gesturing for the Ice Wolf Soul Sect to take the lead.
"Blazing Sunlight!"
Chu Huaizhou suddenly raised the scepter in his hand and stepped back behind everyone.
Being close to the patron allows for convenient protection of the patron at any time, while also ensuring that one can accumulate power to complete the task.
His fifth soul skill requires a long charging time.
Once released...
The next moment, a chain suddenly locked onto Chu Huaizhou's body.
"What?"
Chu Huaizhou tugged hard at the chains binding him, only to find that he couldn't move at all.
Even struggling is difficult!
Even the soul power within him began to be affected, making it extremely difficult to circulate within his body.
This soul skill...
The restrictions on Soul Masters are too strong!
"hateful!"
Chu Huaizhou looked back along the direction the chain extended.
But then they discovered...
The person who unleashed the soul skill is the sugar daddy!
