Chapter 603 The Giant Iceberg
He transformed into a giant dragon, grabbed the unconscious Yun Mo, and flew towards Dragon Valley.
Watching Long Yan's departing figure, Yue Qing felt an indescribable sadness welling up in her heart.
"Let's go." Silver Tiger's voice rang in my ears. "Don't think too much, he'll be fine."
Yueqing nodded and climbed back onto the silver tiger's back.
The team set off again.
This time, no one spoke; everyone was rushing on their way.
As darkness fell, the temperature plummeted.
Yueqing could sense that they were getting closer and closer to the far north.
Tiny ice crystals began to appear in the air, making it difficult to breathe.
"The Frozen Forest is just ahead," Hu Feng said in a deep voice. "Beyond the forest lies the far northern ice plains, which are the real hell."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge roar suddenly came from ahead.
Immediately afterwards, a giant bear covered in frost rushed out of the forest, its blood-red eyes fixed on the group.
"A Frost Giant Bear?" Tiger Roar gasped. "That's an S-class ferocious beast!"
The giant bear roared and charged towards the group.
Silver Tiger's eyes turned cold, and he was about to fight when his daughter suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"
She jumped down from Yueqing's arms and walked to the giant bear.
"Watch out!" Yueqing exclaimed.
But the daughter simply raised her hand, and the dragon-shaped mark on her forehead glowed again.
The giant bear stopped, and its blood-red eyes gradually regained their clarity.
It lowered its head and crawled down in front of its daughter.
“It has been corrupted by the power of the abyss,” the daughter said softly, “but it has not yet been completely corrupted.”
She placed her palm on the giant bear's forehead, and golden light poured in.
A moment later, the black aura on the giant bear dissipated, and its eyes returned to normal.
It looked at its daughter with gratitude in its eyes, then turned and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Your daughter…” Hu Feng looked at Yue Qing, “is becoming less and less like an ordinary inheritor of the Dragon God.”
Yue Qing smiled wryly: "I don't know what she inherited either."
Just then, a black crack suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
Immediately afterwards, countless monsters poured out of the crack and flew towards this place in an overwhelming manner.
"Three hours have passed," Silver Tiger said in a deep voice. "They've caught up again."
Tiger Peak gritted his teeth: "Into the forest! Use the terrain to shake them off!"
The team rushed into the frozen forest.
But the horde of monsters behind them drew closer, their shrill cries echoing in their ears.
Just when everyone thought they were about to be caught, a deafening dragon roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
A gigantic figure descended from the sky, blocking the path of the monster horde.
"It's a saber-toothed tiger!" the son exclaimed in surprise.
The saber-toothed tiger roared, and its huge claws swept across, instantly knocking away more than a dozen monsters.
But more monsters swarmed up and surrounded it.
"It's buying us time!" Hu Feng shouted. "Let's go!"
Yueqing glanced back and felt a warm feeling well up in her heart.
"We'll come back to save you," she said silently in her heart.
The group passed through the forest, and suddenly the view opened up before them.
A vast expanse of white ice appeared in the field of vision, with howling winds and a terrifyingly low temperature.
"We've arrived at the far northern ice plains," Hu Feng said in a deep voice. "The real test begins here."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a strange laugh suddenly echoed from the depths of the icy plains.
"Welcome to my territory..."
Everyone's hearts tightened.
At the edge of the icy plain, a massive iceberg loomed in the distance, its summit adorned with a pair of scarlet eyes that silently watched them...
The laughter that suddenly rang out from the depths of the icy plains made everyone's fur stand on end.
"Form ranks!" Hu Feng roared, and the tiger warriors instantly formed a defensive formation around him.
Almost instinctively, Yin Hu shielded Yue Qing and the two children behind him, his amber eyes fixed on the crimson eyes behind the iceberg. His arm muscles were taut, ready to transform into his beast form at any moment.
"Mommy, I'm scared." The daughter clutched Yueqing's animal skin coat tightly with her little hands, her face pale.
Yueqing hugged her daughter tightly, pulling her son into her arms with her other hand, her heart pounding like a drum. As an emergency room doctor, she had witnessed too many life-or-death situations, but at this moment, facing unknown danger, her maternal instincts made her more nervous than ever.
The owner of those scarlet eyes finally emerged from behind the iceberg.
It was an old man with a hunched back, his white hair frosted over, and his face covered with crisscrossing wrinkles, like cracks on an ice field that had never melted for millennia. He wore animal skins of unknown age, embroidered with strange totems, and with each step he took, the ice beneath his feet cracked and splintered.
"Hehehe..." The old man let out that chilling laugh again, "A thousand years have passed, and finally someone has come to die again."
"Who are you?" Hu Feng stepped forward, his voice steady. "Is this the Dragon God's Tomb?"
The old man's cloudy eyes swept over the tiger clan members, finally settling on Hu Feng. A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: "I am the guardian of the northern tomb, ordered by the Dragon God to guard this place for a thousand years." He paused, his tone turning cold, "Those who want to enter the Dragon God's tomb? You'll have to get past me first."
"A tomb keeper?" Tiger Roar couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the Dragon God perish long ago? How can there still be a tomb keeper?"
"Ignorant!" the old man sneered. "Although the Dragon God has fallen, how can you mortals set foot in the Dragon God's tomb at will? If you want to enter, you must pass three trials, otherwise..." A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes, "...there is only death on your side."
Hu Feng narrowed his eyes, his aura instantly surging: "If you are truly the tomb keeper, why don't you just take action directly, instead of setting up some kind of trial?"
"Because of the rules," the old man said calmly, "the rules left by the Dragon God, which I must abide by."
Just then, the old man's gaze suddenly fell on the daughter in Yueqing's arms. His cloudy eyes instantly flashed with an astonishing light, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"This...how is this possible?!" The old man's voice faltered for the first time. He stared intently at his daughter and walked towards her step by step.
Silver Tiger instantly blocked Yue Qing's path, letting out a low, warning growl: "Don't come any closer."
The old man seemed not to hear, his gaze piercing through the silver tiger and locking firmly on his daughter: "The power of the Dragon God... she possesses the power of the Dragon God!"
Yueqing's heart tightened, and she instinctively pulled her daughter into her arms.
"Wait a minute." The old man suddenly frowned, his shock turning into confusion. "No, it's incomplete..." he muttered to himself, "How could the power of the Dragon God be incomplete?"
"What are you saying?" Yueqing couldn't help but ask.
The old man then turned his gaze to Yueqing, looked her up and down, and his eyes flashed with mixed emotions: "You female, you do have some courage." He pointed at his daughter, "The power of the Dragon God in her body is incomplete, lacking the most crucial part of the Dragon Soul."
"Dragon Soul?" Countless thoughts flashed through Yue Qing's mind in an instant. "What is a Dragon Soul?"
