250: Chapter 250 Frost Tiger

To ease the atmosphere and to give everyone a clearer understanding of this secret realm.

Walking at the very front of the team, Wu Yuyang kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings while beginning to share the intelligence gathered by the Dragon Kingdom's advance investigation team with Chen Yi and the other juniors.

"According to the intelligence brought back by our comrades, the structure of this Antarctica secret realm is somewhat like a layered sandwich or an onion, expanding outwards layer by layer!"

"The exact number of layers is still unknown. And this central ice plain where we are now should be the core starting area!"

"There are roughly three layers currently explored and recorded."

"The first layer is this ice plain area where we are! As you can see, the scenery is similar to the Antarctica outside, but the climate isn't cold; it's more like an illusion simulated by energy. The magic beasts that appear here are naturally mostly Ice-attributed, and according to intelligence, they mostly move in packs, so we need to be extra careful!"

"The three comrades responsible for the initial exploration at the time were all Tier 6, possessed S-rank talents, and the bloodline levels of their Contracted Spirit Beast were between B-rank and S-rank, which doesn't count as the absolute top-tier prodigies!"

"But they were able to successfully explore to the third area and return safely, which is enough to show that the average strength of the magic beasts appearing in this outer region shouldn't be too outrageous—at least for our team, it should be easy to pass through."

"The second layer area, according to the description, is a sea of fire! Of course, just like the first layer, that sea of fire is likely also an illusion in essence and won't make people feel real scorching heat. The magic beasts that appear there transition to being mostly Fire-attributed."

"The third layer area is a dense forest with towering ancient trees, and the magic beasts that appear there are mainly Earth-attributed!"

"However, that forest is surrounded by eerie fog, which easily causes people to lose their way. The advance team was afraid of getting lost, so they chose to retreat decisively."

Everyone behind nodded repeatedly as they listened.

Unexpectedly, the interior of this Antarctica secret realm actually presented such a strong and distinct sense of layering.

Gao Wenyu's Contracted Spirit Beast, Qi Lianmeng, asked softly at this moment: "Senior, does the intelligence mention which layer that supreme treasure, which might be related to the origin of the magic beasts, could be in? Could it be right here in our core area?"

Wu Yuyang shook his head, his expression solemn: "I'm not sure! The advance team didn't find any clear clues, but logically speaking, the more important things are, the more likely they are to be hidden in the depths. We can only explore outward layer by layer like this; we'll always be able to find some clues—"

Just as he was preparing to continue sharing some habits and precautions regarding specific magic beasts.

A sudden roar interrupted his words!

"Roar, roar, roar—"

A tiger's roar suddenly arrived!

And this was just the beginning!

As the first tiger roar faded, more and more tiger roars sounded successively from all directions! Rising and falling, echoing each other, they instantly surrounded everyone!

Not only Chen Yi and his group, but other Beast Tamer teams nearby who had chosen the northern direction also clearly heard these dense roars.

Their expressions changed one after another, revealing vigilant looks as they quickly tightened their formations.

"What sound is that?"

"It's magic beasts! Many of them!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The Spirit Beast Girls beside Chen Yi reacted extremely quickly. Almost the moment they heard the tiger roar, they instantly switched to their Armed Form for battle!

An aura of killing intent spread out!

Wu Yuyang immediately shouted a warning at this moment: "Everyone, be careful! These are Ice Snow Tiger! A pack-dwelling Ice-attributed magic beast! Unlike common solitary tiger-type magic beasts, these things are extremely skilled at coordinated combat, which is troublesome!"

Just as his voice fell, the roars around them had already merged into one.

Bursts of grayish-white, cold mist spread from the air, quickly shrouding everyone's vision.

Immediately after, in the swirling mist, pairs of pupils flickering with eerie blue cold light lit up.

Dense figures appeared from the mist!

They were fierce tigers with snow-white bodies, and their stripes were dark blue!

Their fangs were sharp, their claws flashed with cold light, and the breath exhaled from their mouths carried ice shards!

Their number, at a glance, actually exceeded five hundred!

Mighty and numerous, they closed in from all directions, almost suffocating people!

"How—how can there be so many magic beasts gathered together?"

"Damn it! The advance team's intelligence didn't mention there would be a magic beast herd of this scale!"

"Stop talking so much nonsense, get ready to fight! For us, these magic beasts are just here to deliver magic beast crystal core!"

[Magic Beast: Ice Snow Tiger]

[Difficulty: Eight Stars]

[Level: Tier 7, Stage 1]

[Attribute: Ice]

[Skills: Fierce Tiger Roar, Ice Wind, Ice Treading, Bite, Ice Storm, Ice Body]

[Description: A fierce tiger that has condensed many Ice elements, controls the power of ice and snow, and is skilled at hunting prey in packs.]

Chen Yi quickly scanned the information of these Ice Snow Tiger through the system interface, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Something's not right—the levels of these Ice Snow Tiger are very inconsistent; the low ones are only Tier 5, Stage 5, and the high ones even reach Tier 7, Stage 1! Logically, within the same area and the same population of magic beasts, the level gap shouldn't be so vast!"

Wu Yuyang also hurriedly shouted at this moment: "Everyone, don't panic! Get ready for battle! Back to back, form a circular formation, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Roar, roar, roar—"

At this moment, the Ice Snow Tiger herd that had completed the encirclement let out earth-shattering roars and launched an assault on the Beast Tamer teams from various countries surrounded in the center!

However, the Beast Tamer who could make it here were all geniuses carefully selected by their respective countries, and their strength was extraordinary.

Facing these hundreds of suddenly appearing magic beasts, it could only be considered an appetizer!

Flashes of various colored spiritual power erupted, the Contracted Spirit Beast met the herd, and an intense battle broke out instantly!

Roars and explosions were endless.

Chen Yi's Contracted Spirit Beast were also ready to take action, but Wu Yuyang and Zhao Xin took a step forward first.

"Chen Yi, Wenyu, Wuhen, you young people take your Contracted Spirit Beast and hide behind first!"

Wu Yuyang shouted, exchanged a glance with Zhao Xin, and both of them attacked simultaneously!

Instantly, a semi-circular composite barrier formed around Chen Yi, Gao Wenyu, Leng Wuhen, and their Spirit Beast Girls, protecting them all inside.

Immediately, the Spirit Beast Girls under their command were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, meeting the Ice Snow Tiger that were pouncing over!

Wu Yuyang's Contracted Spirit Beast were mostly known for control and defense, while Zhao Xin's Contracted Spirit Beast had fierce and wild offensive capabilities. With one defending and one attacking, they cooperated tacitly and actually forcibly blocked most of the beast tide rushing toward the Dragon Kingdom's direction!

It could be described as terrifyingly powerful!
