Chapter 310.
Wang Feng had also been searching for Qingqing for the past six months but hadn't told the Wind Blizzard Crocodile about it. He never expected that the Wind Blizzard Crocodile would know Qingqing!
Judging by its words, she was also quite famous in the Extreme North.
Relieved but also a bit excited, Wang Feng realized that Qingqing was indeed in the Extreme North!
"You want to know about the Goddess Qing Huang'er of our outer circle? I won't tell you," the Wind Blizzard Crocodile glared fiercely at Wang Feng. "How dare you, a human, covet the goddess of our soul beasts!"
Wang Feng: "…"
Boom boom boom!
Immediately afterward, there was a violent booming sound echoing around the outer periphery, if the world was turning upside down.
"Boss Feng, don't hit me! I'll tell you… I'll tell you!" The Wind Blizzard Crocodile's ice armor was shattered, and with a few large bumps on its head, it said dejectedly, "I'll tell you everything…"
Wang Feng clapped his hands and then listened as the Wind Blizzard Crocodile recounted Qingqing's story.
The Wind Blizzard Crocodile didn't actually know much, as it had only seen Qingqing only a few times. The first time he saw her was more than four years ago, around the time Qingqing disappeared with the two others.
"She's a very, very beautiful bird… small beautiful head, long feathery wings, stunning body…" The Wind Blizzard Crocodile's poor description forced Wang Feng to interrupt as slowly a tick mark formed on his head.
The creature had only recently learned human language and struggled to describe things properly. But Wang Feng got the gist—it had to be Qingqing.
Wang Feng remembered that the last time he saw Qingqing, she was already very large, much taller than him, with intelligent eyes.
"She has a special golden lotus mark on her forehead…" the Wind Blizzard Crocodile continued.
Hearing this, Wang Feng knew for sure that it was Qingqing. That belligerent little bird, after Wang Feng had used the Golden Lotus to heal her many times, should have undergone some kind of mutation, resulting in a golden lotus mark naturally forming on her forehead.
"She's not just beautiful, she's also incredibly powerful. When she first came to the Extreme North, a beast bullied her two companions, but she wiped out the entire group!" The Wind Blizzard Crocodile's eyes widened. "But her cultivation wasn't even that high, less than 30,000 years old, yet she was super duper strong, I tell you!"
Thirty thousand years old cultivation—just as Wang Feng had expected. Now, four years later, Qingqing cultivation should be even stronger.
"Later, she became one of the big overlords in the outer periphery. With her two companions, she swept through many soul beasts in the outer circle. At that time, I thought I might not be able to defeat the three of them and also secretly admired her, thinking she was going to be my wife someday…"
The Wind Blizzard Crocodile's tone revealed its lack of dignity as a 60,000-year-old soul beast. Wang Feng shook his head, amused—there really were "sycophants" everywhere.
"She's now recognized as the most beautiful and powerful soul beast in our outer circle of the extreme north. Many soul beasts see her as a goddess, and her two companions are also very formidable. One of them is a very beautiful Starlight Fox, almost as pretty as her and she is also very powerful," the Wind Blizzard Crocodile said with some nostalgia.
Wang Feng listened silently. It seemed that the three little ones had caused quite a stir when they had arrived in the Extreme North.
However, this also gave Wang Feng a better understanding of what they might have encountered.
"There's also a handsome Ice Emperor Lizard. But they all seem to be mutated, different from normal soul beasts of the same type… I once saw a 70,000-year-old Ice Emperor Lizard while wandering in the inner circle. It was strong and powerful, but not as much special as this one. This one only has about 10,000 years of cultivation but he was strong, extremely strong…"
The three little ones were all healed and nourished by the energy of the Golden Lotus, which Wang Feng himself had activated to aid their recovery. Naturally, they wouldn't be anything ordinary after getting it every time.
"In our outer circle, we all refer to her as Qing Huang'er. She is the dream of many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in our region. Additionally, she bears a striking resemblance to the legendary Ice Phoenix soul beast."
But at this point, the Wind Blizzard Crocodile's tone dropped, becoming more somber. "However, about ten months ago, Qing Huang'er's beauty and power finally caught the attention of a powerful soul beast from the inner circle!"
"This creature is nearly 100,000 years old! Even among the soul beasts of the inner circle, it is a formidable entity, ranking among the top! And it's not just any soul beast, it's an ancient creature with a special bloodline—a Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale! It carries the powerful bloodlines of both the Mountain and Sea Whale and the Ice Dragon!"
"This beast, which dominates the sea, land, and air, came to the outer circle and aggressively pursued Qing Huang'er, declaring that the entire outer circle forest was now his domain and that she could not escape."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was momentarily speechless.
"But Goddess Qing Huang'er did not accept the pursuit of this inner circle overlord and rejected him outright. Enraged, the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale almost bloodily massacred all the ten-thousand-year–-old soul beasts in the outer circle that had supported her... By the time I arrived, intending to help, the scene was a river of blood."
The Wind Blizzard Crocodile spoke animatedly with a strange tone, "But I didn't see Qing Huang'er's blood. On the contrary, I saw the blood of the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale..."
Hearing this, Wang Feng was slightly taken aback.
No matter how strong the three were, how could they possibly defeat the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale that the Wind Blizzard Crocodile described? With two ancient bloodlines, it stands to reason that even if it hadn't reached a hundred thousand years of cultivation, it should still be comparable to some ordinary soul beasts with a hundred thousand years of cultivation. There was no way it would be defeated by the three little ones.
"What happened after that?" Wang Feng frowned and asked, faintly suspecting something but not quite certain. "Could it be that she has cultivated for nearly a hundred thousand years?"
"No... At that time, Qing Huang'er had only cultivated for around 40,000 years. She was far from being a match for the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale. Even with her two partners, the Starlight Fox who had also cultivated for just over 30,000 years, and the Ice Emperor Lizard who had reached 20,000 years..."
The Blizzard Crocodile shook his head and continued, "Besides, at that time, the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale had several subordinates with it... and they weren't weak either."
As one of the overlords of the inner circle of the Extreme North, it was normal for it to have several subordinates.
"Then what happened? How did the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale still end up injured?" Wang Feng asked.
The Wind Blizzard Crocodile smiled and said, "This is why Qing Huang'er fascinates us. She's not only beautiful but also very smart... Instead of directly confronting the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale, she cleverly lured a very powerful human! This human was extremely strong, equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast... She enticed this powerful human to the vicinity of the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale, provoking a battle between them!"
"The fight between these two was so intense that it turned the outer periphery of the forest upside down. Unfortunately, the human was ultimately defeated and had to retreat, but the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale was also seriously injured."
"Qing Huang'er took advantage of the chaos to escape with her two companions... But I heard that because her two companions weren't as strong as she was, they were caught in the aftermath of the battle and were severely injured, leading to their separation from her. Later, she learned that both of her companions had become human soul rings and disappeared, so she –rushed directly into the inner circle to seek revenge against the Mountain and Sea Ice Dragon Whale."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng finally understood everything.
It all made sense now!
