So, they took a rather long trip on a flying boat to the nearby Forest cities and soon entered the Great Forest.
The beautiful scenery of a Spirit Forest was vividly present despite it being an icy forest.
"Young Master, both of you are beasts from the 10,000-year zone, so we can skip the first stages. But I must tell you something. The 10 thousand Year Beast Zone is very dangerous, occasionally Sixth Realm Beasts are seen and there are even people who have said that they looked at beasts above that Realm, so we must be careful." Xie Meiyu said.
Tang Yin knew this, so he nodded.
"Then let's go carefully, I have taught you some ways to avoid being tracked by spirit beasts, so we can move freely if we are careful." Tang Yin replied, and they continued throughout the forest.
Walking step by step while avoiding some beasts they encountered along the way.
One hour after walking, they arrived at the area of the 10 thousand- to 15-thousand-year-old beasts.
After arriving here, they both stopped at the early stages, and Tang Yin began to lead the way, although Xie Meiyu was attentive to everything.
"...The problem with the icy forests where snow falls constantly, is that rarely do the beasts leave signs. Unless it is very big, usually the signs they leave are covered up by the falling snow and that is a problem. But there is something important about the two beasts we are looking for. They are both bear types, which are some of the only beasts that leave large visible tracks to mark their territory, keep an eye out for trees, they usually leave their tracks there." Tang Yin said and also kept an eye on all the passing trees.
Only by finding the tracks of those two bears, he could find them easily. However, if they were unlucky, maybe they could find a herd of those bears, and that would be dangerous.
So, they both walked for a while...
Two hours later, Tang Yin stopped and quickly approached a tree.
'White Frost Bear... It should be close.' Tang Yin thought with a smile.
"There should be one of the ones we need nearby and it's not very old, you should be able to kill it quickly if I distract it." Tang Yin turned and commented that to Xie Meiyu, and she nodded to him.
"Yes, I sense that there is a spirit beast over there. He's at the Fourth Level of the Spirit Lord Realm, could it be him?" she asked, giving valuable information to Tang Yin.
The latter smiled and then urged her to wait for him for a moment.
After that, he ran and climbed a tree and then jumped over another and then another, disappearing from Xie Meiyu's sight soon after.
She was worried but waited for him, and a few minutes later, he came back with a big smile.
"Follow me, it's the White Frost Bear and he's alone. He seems to be hunting, it's our time." Tang Yin said, and she quickly ran after him.
Once they arrived, Tang Yin urged her to stay hidden behind a tree.
He was sure could find her the opportunity to get this over with quickly.
Although she didn't quite agree, she still heeded him while keeping an eye on Tang Yin.
If anything happened, she would immediately go out and attack the bear.
Tang Yin was calm and quickly ran towards the bear, throwing a few killer weapons at it in the process.
Said weapons hit the bear's fur but did not do any damage they simply attracted the bear's attention to where Tang Yin was, and the bear stood up when saw his food coming to him.
When it saw that his food was quite small, the bear even seemed to be laughing inside, but...
"ROOOAR!" A roar came out of the bear's mouth as it lunged towards Tang Yin running, not caring about Tang Yin. It didn't put him in its eyes, and this caused Tang Yin to grin widely.
He immediately threw four smoke bombs toward two trees near him, and right behind those smoke bombs went four slightly large needles.
Just as the four bombs exploded, the needles hit the two trees, and all the snow accumulated on those trees began to fall all at once.
This happened in a few seconds, and just when the snow was falling, the bear had almost reached Tang Yin, so he jumped to his left side which was the place where the two huge pieces of snow were falling and the bear, seeing this, quickly stopped and tried to reach him with its hand while was skidding trying to grab Tang Yin.
But it was just at that moment that the two huge chunks of snow fell heavily to the ground and hit the bear.
The bear was left with its hand outstretched.
It had not been hurt, but it was enormously angry when it was teased like that.
So, immediately, let out a loud roar into the sky and its eyes flashed brightly as it wiped off all the snow in one blow and tried to find the person who had teased it, but...
The next thing it felt was a sharp pain in its right eye.
"ARGGGGHH!" the bear screamed and immediately reached its hand towards its right eye; it was bleeding deeply, and question marks were written on its face not understanding what the hell had happened.
Its eye was bleeding, but it could still see, but It still felt an intense pain in its head, what the hell was going on?
Tang Yin smiled and walked out from behind the snow that had fallen from the trees, heading towards where the confused bear was, and moved his right hand towards the bear's chest.
"Go to sleep." Tang Yin said with a smile as he tapped the bear's chest leaving a small ball on it. Then quickly Tang Yin jumped backward and covered his face with his hands.
This moment passed in just 3 seconds, and when Tang Yin was a few meters away from the bear, a small explosion sounded.
*BOOOM*
A large amount of numbing poison began to appear from the bear's chest and was rapidly spreading outward.
"It's now, Miss Xie!" shouted Tang Yin and the beautiful figure of Xie Meiyu jumped behind a tree and quickly reached where the bear was.
She immediately summoned her weapon, which was a long spear, and a great emperor bear appeared behind her with a loud roar.
"Emperor Bear Deathblow!" she shouted as she swung her spear with a clean strike at the bear, aiming for its neck.
The bear still did not understand what was happening when it felt a strong pain in its chest, and then it felt a deadly danger coming behind it, but when it tried to move, realized it could not. It was as if a part of its body was asleep, so a strong pain invaded it when a long spear crossed its neck from behind.
The white head of the huge bear went flying through the air as blood showered the surroundings, and the body fell to the ground.
Tang Yin then stood up from where he had fallen and smiled.
"Not bad, Miss Xie. I didn't expect you to have such a good weapon as a secondary weapon. Nice killing blow." Tang Yin said with a smile as he walked over, and Xie Meiyu, without caring about his comments, quickly approached him as soon as he finished his attack.
"Young Master, what did you do just now? It's impossible to kill a Frost Frost Bear so easily and without guard, what on earth did you do to it?" She asked doubtfully.
Tang Yin only shrugged his shoulders.
It was the simplest bear-hunting tactic he could think of at the time.
"I just used a diversionary and taunting tactic. If you ever have to hunt a powerful ice bear, remember that these bears hate anyone who throws snow at them because they know that snow is their territory. So, if I do that, they will feel hatred and give a roar to show their power and superiority. So, I simply have to seize the moment and hide behind the snow, so I can launch a sneak attack. When the snow fell, I threw a poisonous needle with disorienting poison, which prevented it from realizing what was happening, and then the numbing blast ball made it more bewildered and that's it, it's a simple tactic." Tang Yin replied as he prepared the bear and pulled out his heart.
"Does something like that really work?" she asked doubtfully.
Weren't bears intelligent beings? She thought, could they be fooled so easily? It was what was going through her mind, and Tang Yin knew it, but he wouldn't bother explaining it because it wasn't worth it.
"That's it, we have the first heart, we're missing one." Tang Yin said with a smile, and Xie Meiyu nodded.
"Where do we start looking for it? This seems to be White Frost Bears territory." She said as she looked around.
Tang Yin just shrugged and scattered some meat around.
And then he sat down.
"Look for it? No need, hopefully, one will come soon." Tang Yin said with a calm smile and stood there while urging a confused Xie Meiyu to sit down.
