Chapter 154 makes some arrangements; let's leave the far north first.
After nearly an afternoon of fierce winds and blizzards, the spot where Huo Yuhao had been was no longer visible on the surface. Huo Yuhao, who was in a fusion coma, was now buried five meters below the surface in a hole.
However, when Long You actually got closer to this area, his heart started clenching uncontrollably.
The oppressive aura emanating from the 390,000-year-old ferocious beast, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, still reverberated throughout the area. Even though Long You, a mere Soul Master, knew that the Ice Emperor was incapable of harming him, he couldn't help but tremble.
Taking a deep breath and controlling the trembling in his body, Long You forcefully commanded his legs through his brain to stand upright on the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard and continue moving forward.
The anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard slowed down significantly. Finally, Long You, supporting the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle that had stopped directly above the cave where Huo Yuhao was unconscious, stepped off the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard.
Sitting down heavily on the ground, Long You stopped digging and instead released his spiritual energy to communicate with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. After all, Long You couldn't guarantee that the vibrations in the physical structure and related conditions wouldn't affect the fusion between Huo Yuhao and the Ice Emperor.
{Kid, you timed it well! If you had come any earlier, your brother Tianmeng wouldn't have had time to deal with you.}
"Of course I came here after thoroughly investigating. This far north is so dangerous, and your target is so powerful. If I hadn't confirmed that you had already succeeded, would I have dared to come?"
How is he now? I can sense that Yuhao's vital signs are quite stable, and his life force is becoming increasingly vigorous.
{The initial phase can be considered a success. The most dangerous process has been passed. As long as there is no strong stimulus, the fusion between Hyotei and Yuhao will proceed smoothly.}
However, this integration process will take time, and I cannot currently determine how long it will take.
That's not important. The aura of Hyotei permeates this place, and no unknown creatures will be able to enter for the next month or two.
Yes, I'll stay here tonight and try to establish a semi-permanent underground shelter. Tomorrow morning, I'll head out to the far north. Once I can receive a communication signal, I'll go to the academy and ask them to send a teacher to protect me.
Yuhao is, after all, a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. Now that he has awakened his second martial soul, the academy should send someone to investigate, both out of courtesy and reason, and also to act as a protector.
By the way, once the academy sends a teacher over, that teacher will definitely communicate with you. Don't forget that you are just a martial spirit consciousness.
{Okay, Tianmeng isn't that unreliable. You go do what you're supposed to do. Stay away from here and don't make too much noise.}
"understood"
Having endured the oppressive power of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion for some time, Long You has now adapted somewhat. After communicating with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he immediately stepped back onto the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard and began moving further south.
After moving about 500 meters, Longyou found a place that looked relatively pleasing to the eye and began to dig downwards.
With the help of a robotic excavator, it took more than two hours to dig out a space with a floor area of five square meters and a height of two meters in the snow. Longyou then began to lay prefabricated modular temporary camp metal panels into this space.
These metal plates were specially made before Longyou set off, and they are engraved with countless cold-resistant and warmth-preserving runes and arrays. Of course, things like soul-guided energy defense force field generators are also essential components.
After decorating the basement a bit and installing a place to boil water, wash up, and take a shower, Longyou crawled into his sleeping bag.
The amount of exercise today was not much, but because he had to face Hyotei, one of the top ten most ferocious beasts on the entire continent, Long You was under a lot of mental pressure.
The next morning, just as dawn broke over the far north, Long You awoke from a deep sleep. Without going anywhere, he immediately began tidying himself up in the underground space while simultaneously channeling his spiritual energy to make a targeted contact with Brother Tianmeng.
{Brother Tianmeng, Brother Tianmeng, please reply if you receive this, please reply if you receive this}
Unwilling to move, Long You simply used himself as a signal transmitter. It was only 500 meters away, and the mental strength of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was definitely enough to receive it.
{Damn brat, why are you bothering your brother Tianmeng so early?}
The voice of Tianmeng Bingcan, which sounded fierce but had the quality of a young boy's voice, rang in Long You's mind.
Don't be angry, Brother Tianmeng. I'm just trying to leave the Arctic Ice Plains as soon as possible and get back to the academy.
With Ice Emperor's aura protecting him, ordinary soul beasts wouldn't dare approach. However, if Yuhao were unlucky enough to encounter one of the other two Heavenly Kings looking to cause trouble for Ice Emperor, he wouldn't be able to escape without a powerful protector.
{Fine, fine, you always have a point. Get lost, and be careful on the road. Tianmeng isn't around, so make sure all your detection soul tools have a wide range and come in all types. Don't try to conserve your soul power.}
Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng, I value my life. The academy will definitely send someone in five days at most. Please take care of my younger brother during these five days.
Let's go quickly.
After placing a signal transmitter in the cave, Long You summoned his battle armor after emerging from the cave and sped southwards on the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard.
As for the issue of scouting, Long You had already instructed Byrne to make arrangements. The routes Long You was taking were all safe routes that had been scouted in advance.
Once Longyou catches up with the Guangming Baitie unmanned reconnaissance vehicle that was dispatched in advance, Longyou's location will be outside the core area of the far north. At that time, the strong winds in the air will be greatly reduced, and a faster and more convenient large stealth soul-guided unmanned reconnaissance aircraft (anti-freeze version) will take off to replace the Guangming Baitie unmanned reconnaissance vehicle, which can only travel on the ground, to scout the way for Longyou.
Using level-eight milk bottles as a power source, and constantly replacing the numerous level-five milk bottles he carried, he no longer conserved them. Long You successfully caught up with the Soul-Guided Powered Mech that had set off earlier, before sunset.
Looking at his current location on the map, Long You decided to travel through the night. The snowstorm had subsided, and the invisibility soul tool was now effectively working. Therefore, traveling at night would be much safer.
