Ye Lan and Jiang Ning stood around the bucket, watching the small shrimp that were still glowing after being frozen. Because they were looking so close, their faces were illuminated by a soft blue light, which was particularly noticeable in the dark night.

A moment later, Jiang Nan also came over. Looking at the ice cubes in the bucket, he exclaimed, "They are really amazing!"

He used to cultivate within the Green Mountain Sect and rarely went outside. Later, he went to Cloud Cave to cultivate, which was also a forest. This time, when he came to the Northern Continent, he saw many things he had never seen before in the Southern Continent, as well as the sea and many novel and beautiful sights.

Ye Lan asked Jiang Ning to dissolve the water in the bucket. He reached out and scooped up a small shrimp. After the shrimp came out of the water, it lost its blue light, but when it was put back into the water, it regained it.

"They can only glow if they're alive?" Jiang Nan asked uncertainly.

"Perhaps."

Ye Lan replied, but he couldn't figure it out either. How come these shrimp lost their vitality when they came out of the water, but came back to life when they were put back in? It was the legendary "death and rebirth".

Thinking of this, Ye Lan suddenly shook her head, shaking away this strange thought from her mind.

In his previous life, he had heard of "blue tears." These "blue tears" are formed by a type of bioluminescent algae that creates blue waves when washed ashore. Places where they exist have become tourist attractions, with people going there specifically to see these "blue tears."

Surprisingly, shrimp can glow here, but this "tourist attraction" doesn't attract many visitors.

Everyone was still looking at the blue light in the lake and didn't notice the commotion coming from behind them.

The reason they didn't notice the noise was because the place from which it came was too far away from them, and it was nighttime. The wind on Iceland was very strong, howling and blowing, and the sound of the wind drowned out the surrounding noises.

It was Sang Yu who first noticed the commotion. He had the highest cultivation level and the most acute spiritual sense. He sensed that the commotion was coming from the snow-capped mountain behind him, so he turned around.

By the faint moonlight emitted by the crescent moon, he saw a huge creature rushing down the snow-capped mountain behind him, seemingly heading in their direction.

The snow-capped mountain wasn't very high, but it wasn't close to them either. At first, Sang Yu couldn't see it clearly and thought it was an avalanche. But then she only saw a dark figure quickly coming down the snow-capped mountain. The mountain itself didn't change, unlike a scene of an avalanche.

The dark figure was advancing at breakneck speed, growing larger as it approached them. When it was still five miles away, Sang Yu realized that the dark figure was a giant white bear beast.

The polar bear was so huge that the ground seemed to shake when it ran over. Ye Lan and the others noticed the commotion and turned around to look. Before they could see what it was, they heard a shout.

"Quickly open!"

Before their minds could even process what was happening, their bodies moved first. Only when they were flying into the air on their swords did they realize that it was a giant monster.

The voice came from Sang Yu. When the polar bear beast charged towards them, Sang Yu shouted for those of them who were near the lake to get out of the way. Because of Sang Yu's warning, everyone flew into the air at the speed of light, thus avoiding being knocked down by the polar bear beast.

When the polar bear approached the lake and saw that no one was around, it suddenly stopped. The force of its run swept the rocks on the shore into the lake, splashing up blue waves and making a series of "plop" sounds.

If they hadn't run fast, they would all have fallen into the lake by now, including Sang Yu. Everyone was watching the polar bear beast from above.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, they saw a spirit beast descend from the head of the polar bear beast. This spirit beast was the same color as the polar bear beast, but compared to its size, the descending spirit beast appeared particularly small, not even as big as one of the polar bear beast's front paws.

Although the moon wasn't large tonight, there were no dark clouds, and the sky was filled with a dazzling Milky Way. This brightness was enough for them to clearly see the appearance of the spirit beast that had descended. The spirit beast that had descended was none other than the snow fox they had encountered during the day.

The polar bear and the snow fox came with great force, and no one would believe that the snow fox brought people—no, it brought a bear. Could it be that the snow fox brought the bear to chat and reminisce with them?

Nangong Yue looked at the snow fox with a dark expression: I wouldn't even let anyone dig up your food, afraid you'd go hungry, and yet you actually asked my brother to capture us and treat us as food?

The moment the polar bear appeared, Xiaobai returned to Ye Lan's space, isolating itself from the bear's presence. It could sense the danger posed by the polar bear.

Xiao Bai's current cultivation level is only equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of a human, while this white bear beast is equivalent to the Divine Transformation stage. They are a level apart, so Xiao Bai's divine beast pressure will not have much effect on a demon beast of this level like the white bear beast. It will be at a great disadvantage if it faces this white bear beast now.

Another point is that their demon cores are very attractive to high-level demon beasts. It has only just begun to look for the Immortal Grass to revive its mother, and it cannot afford to have any problems at this critical juncture, because it does not want to become a meal. So it avoids them as much as possible.

And it wasn't just that; Su Bo and Nangong Yue's two spirit pets were also taken into their space, and the giant red fox jumped onto Nangong Yue's sword, staying by her side to protect her.

Looking at the two spirit beasts, one large and one small, Sang Yu frowned. He hadn't shown this expression when they encountered the pirate ship before, because this polar bear beast looked like it would be difficult to fight.

Unsure of their chances of victory, Sang Yu decided to send everyone away. He said, "Let's retreat. This white bear beast has already reached level ten cultivation."

This polar bear beast looked very honest and was all white. It would be very cute if it were shrunk down. But as soon as they heard that it had a level 10 cultivation, the others lost all interest in fighting the polar bear beast and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

They tried to control the swords beneath their feet and fly away, but things didn't go as planned. They found themselves unable to fly, as if some force was pulling them down.

Oh no, this polar bear beast actually has a domain skill! Realizing this, Sang Yu's face darkened.

The polar bear slowly stood up. It was very large and stood up as tall as a small mountain. Of course, that was just an exaggeration. Ye Lan estimated that it was about ten meters tall, but it was really strong. He felt that it could be flattened with a single slap.

It and the little snow fox looked up at Ye Lan and the others, as if they were some delicious treat. In fact, Ye Lan and his group were indeed food for the polar bear beast, the kind that would be very nutritious.

There are very few other spirit beasts on this ice island. The closest place to Star Lake Island is only it and that snow fox.

There used to be other spirit beasts near Star Lake Island, but a few years ago, this snow fox came here. After getting to know the white bear beast, it told the white bear beast that eating those spirit beasts would increase its cultivation faster. It even led the white bear beast to wipe out all those spirit beasts in one fell swoop. The other spirit beasts that were not eaten also escaped, leaving only the two of them on Star Lake Island.

Today, the snow fox came to find the polar bear beast and told it that many humans had come to the island. The snow fox also said that these humans were delicious, so it couldn't wait to come over.

It was after the polar bear beast stood up that Ye Lan felt an attraction from the ground that made them fall.

Ye Lan and the others tried to control their bodies and resist this attraction.

However, the opponent was a level 10 demon beast with cultivation equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage, while the rest of their group, apart from Sang Yu and the leader, were only at the Nascent Soul stage. The white bear beast's strength was overwhelming against them.

The oppressive feeling from struggling against that attraction was crushing their bodies, and Sang Yu reached out to protect them, which made things a little better.

Sang Yu flew down a little and negotiated with the polar bear beast: "We have no intention of offending this place. We hope you can let us leave. In exchange, we are willing to give you all the food we have."

The polar bear beast has reached this level of cultivation, so its intelligence has naturally been awakened. It wouldn't be surprising if it could not only understand human speech, but also speak human language. Therefore, this thing is still negotiable.

Seeing that the polar bear beast did not react, Sang Yu took out some food from his spatial storage and slowly brought it to the ground. However, he had very little food and looked rather shabby, so the others had no choice but to follow his example and take their own food out of their spatial storage.

Ye Lan felt a pang of regret; he had the most belongings, but to save his life, he decided to give them away.

When everyone saw Ye Lan pull out that pile of things, they were stunned. He actually brought so much food!

But before he could deliver it, something unexpected happened: the thing Sang Yu handed to the polar bear beast was swatted away by its paw.

The meaning is clear: it does not accept Sang Yu's proposal.

Ye Lan and the others felt the oppressive force pressing down on them again, and they had to lower themselves down a little more. This was not because Sang Yu had removed the protection they were being protected, but because the white bear beast had increased its pressure.

Sang Yu's expression changed again, and she used her divine sense to remind everyone, "I'll hold it off for a while, and you guys find a chance to leave here as soon as possible."

Jiang Ning asked him, "And what about you, senior?"

"I will also find a way to leave here and reunite with you," Sang Yu said, before rushing towards the white bear beast alone.

Facing the polar bear beast, Sang Yu did not let his guard down. He immediately took out his two broken blades, which were his natal weapons, made of special spirit stones and extremely hard.

Although the polar bear was large, it was very agile. Sang Yu's two sword strikes didn't even touch its fur.

Even when facing Sang Yu, it was able to control its domain with ease, preventing anyone else from leaving.

After exchanging a few blows with the polar bear beast, Sang Yu realized that its cultivation level was above his own. He had already used 70% of his power, but the polar bear beast seemed to be toying with him, and hadn't even used half of its strength.

Jiang Nan was getting anxious watching from above. They could only land on the ground and couldn't move. If they still couldn't leave, then Senior Sang Yu would have no choice but to continue fighting the polar bear beast.

He asked Jiang Ning, "What should we do?"

Jiang Ning did not answer Jiang Nan's question. He was observing the fighting scene below. Sang Yu was a water spirit root cultivator, which gave him an advantage in fighting in this snowy place. However, this advantage was not apparent to the native white bear beast.

Just like now, when he sends a barrage of ice blades flying towards the white bear beast, it won't be hurt by the cold air, and its skin is so thick that it can't be pierced, it's like being tickled.

While they were fighting, the snow fox darted around nearby, as if cheering on the polar bear beast.

"I've got it!" Jiang Ning had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of a solution. He shouted down to Sang Yu, "Senior, kill that snow fox!"

Upon hearing the last part, Sang Yu put the hilts of her two broken swords together and hurled them at the snow fox with all her might.

After the two broken swords were joined together, both ends were sharp blades. It spun and flew towards the snow fox. The snow fox's cultivation level was low, and it would surely die if it hit either end.

Jiang Ning had deliberately shouted loudly so that the polar bear beast could hear him. Sure enough, after hearing the last bit, it forgot about controlling Ye Lan and the others and ran over to protect its companion with its body.

It's now.

"break!"

With Jiang Ning's shout of "Break!", everyone worked together to break the polar bear beast's domain skill and regain their freedom. However, after regaining their freedom, Jiang Ning did not leave immediately.

Jiang Ning said to Jiang Nan and the others, "If there is any danger later, remember to use a teleportation talisman to leave."

Because the teleportation talisman's destination is uncertain, Jiang Ning and his group didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary. After all, no one knew where they would be teleported to next, or whether it would be more dangerous than now. But if their lives were about to end, they had to take a gamble.

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he also joined the battle and fought alongside Sang Yu. Next, they needed to find the Extreme Immortal Herb on the Ice Island. This White Bear Beast wanted to eat them, the spiritual cultivators. As long as it was not eliminated, they would be in danger on the Ice Island.

Seeing Jiang Ning go up, the others also picked up their weapons and joined in, even the Great Red Fox did not, and a flood of spiritual energy surged towards the White Bear Beast.

The polar bear beast was very agile; it arrived just in time to block Sang Yu's two broken swords. The snow fox was unharmed under the polar bear beast's protection, but the polar bear beast's thick hide was injured, leaving a bloody scratch.

The snow fox was protected in the arms of the white bear beast, which used its back to shield it from the group attack of Jiang Ning and his group. Among the group was a fire spirit root and a red fox that could breathe fire. The snow fox smelled a burnt smell coming from its back.

The polar bear beast was truly enraged. After letting out a roar, it revealed its sharp teeth and claws, and its eyes turned blood red.

When the polar bear beast exhibits this state, it means it has entered berserk mode.
