Surrounded by those six white behemoths, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body saw the two creatures that had been besieged by the group of Yeti Monkeys.
"Are they here to rescue us?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body asked in confusion.
"They must be," Chen Hao nodded slightly, "After we saved them earlier, they saw the two of us entering this forest, so they went to get help. Those bugs must have been frozen by their Spiritual Power."
At that moment, the two white behemoths in front of them stepped aside, and the big and the small creature walked towards them.
The small behemoth waggled its head at Chen Hao, seeming very pleased.
After exchanging glances with Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Chen Hao lifted the Six-Character Seal.
Then, the small behemoth approached them, lowered its head to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's feet, then raised it, inviting them to sit on its head.
The small behemoth turned around and let out a slight grunt toward the injured larger behemoth.
The large one lifted its head, let out a resounding cry, and then departed with the other six beasts.
"What just happened?" Chen Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Silly," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, "They're repaying the favor by leaving this little one with you. Great, now we have another companion."
"You're sure it's a pig?" asked Chen Hao, his expression slightly sour.
"Of course!" Ye Yuqiao slowly moved from the top of the small behemoth's head to between its eyes, pointed at its nose, and laughed, "Look at its pink nose, and its mouth. If it's not a pig, then what is it? Although the ears are a bit different."
After saying this, Ye Yuqiao shook her left hand in front of the small behemoth's left eye and said, "Little pig, from now on your name is Xiao Bai."
The small behemoth's body trembled slightly.
"Hehe, jerk, it can actually understand what I'm saying!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body exclaimed in surprise, then shouted again, "Xiao Bai!"
The small behemoth's body shook again.
Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body found it increasingly amusing and called out "Xiao Bai" a few more times.
The small behemoth continued to shake its body in response.
Just then, as Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, who was perched between Xiao Bai's eyes, slipped, she started to fall.
"Ah!"
Chen Hao's eyes bulged in alarm, and he lunged forward, stretching out his right hand to catch Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body by the ankle.
"Wuwu, you scared the Queen to death!"
"Can't you be a bit more careful?" Chen Hao chided through clenched teeth.
Having said that, he pulled Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body back up.
"I've said it before, nothing will happen to me with you around," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said with a wry smile, her face slightly embarrassed.
Then, she carefully climbed onto the left eye of the little pig again and pointed in the direction of the Dog Tribe with her left hand, "Xiao Bai, let's go that way."
Xiao Bai's body gave a gentle shudder, then began to move forward.
Before long, small branches in the forest below slowly rose up. Xiao Bai let out an angry roar towards the ground, and a pale blue Spiritual Power burst from its body, freezing those branches solid.
"Hehe, jerk, Xiao Bai is so powerful!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body praised.
Chen Hao smiled wryly, feeling that Xiao Bai's arrival was rather sudden, and he had not yet adapted to the situation.
"With Xiao Bai, we'll be able to travel faster in the future."
Chen Hao nodded, then lay down on the soft, snow-white fur of the small pig; immediately after, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body also lay beside him.
"The weather is really nice!" Chen Hao said, looking up at the sun above. It was the first time he had felt comfortable since they'd entered the Polar Ice Land.
"It's very nice!" Ye Yuqiao laughed, and then her head gradually leaned into Chen Hao's arms.
Before long, riding on Xiao Bai's back, the two arrived at the northeastern edge of the woods, the site of the ancient Dog Tribe.
Now, more than 60,000 years after the extinction of the Dog Tribe people, the traces of the Dog Tribe had all been buried under thick snow.
The only thing that could confirm the location of the Dog Tribe was a stone pillar standing erect on the flat snow-covered ground. Despite tens of thousands of years of wind and snow, not a single flake of white snow had settled on that stone pillar.
Dragging their slow steps, the two, leading Xiao Bai, approached it.
However, when they were about two meters away from the stone pillar, Xiao Bai suddenly stopped, showing pain and letting out a weak whimper.
"Xiao Bai seems very afraid of this stone pillar," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, looking puzzled at Xiao Bai.
"It must be that this stone pillar hides some unknown power, which is why the people of the Dog Tribe could survive in an environment surrounded by ancient beasts," Chen Hao guessed.
"Xiao Bai, don't be scared!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, soothingly stroking Xiao Bai's legs.
Afterward, she extended her hand and continued forward with Chen Hao's hand in hers.
When the two arrived in front of the stone pillar, suddenly it emitted a brilliant red light, scaring Xiao Bai into letting out a wail and retreating dozens of meters.
A strange light flashed in Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's eyes, and then she reached out towards the stone pillar.
At the moment her hand touched the pillar, suddenly a dazzling flame burst forth from the stone pillar.
"This stone pillar is responding to me!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body exclaimed in surprise, "It contains many fiery energies."
Chen Hao nodded slightly, looking amazed.
Next, the stone pillar began to tremble and radiate a great deal of heat around it.
Before long, the accumulated snow and ice in the large surrounding area melted and the water evaporated, revealing stone houses that appeared around them.
"These houses must be the homes where the Dog Tribe lived!" Chen Hao said. He turned back to look at Xiao Bai and found that Xiao Bai had already hidden at the top of a mountain far away.
Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's hand withdrew from the stone pillar, and immediately the trembling stopped.
"There has been a kind of fiery blood infused inside this stone pillar," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, "touching it feels eerily familiar, it's very likely the blood of the Volcano King!"
"Volcano King!" Chen Hao exclaimed in surprise, "Then I will also give it a try. My body contains the Glacier Heart left by the Glacier King's son."
After saying this, Chen Hao directly reached out to the stone pillar, and in that instant, his whole body turned to ash, leaving behind only a Nether King's Heart.
"Idiot!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said disdainfully.
After being revived by the Nether King's Heart, Chen Hao immediately distanced himself from the stone pillar like lightning and sat on Xiao Bai's head.
"Damn it, why did you suddenly run so far away?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body sent him a mental message.
"I'm afraid of that stone pillar, just like Xiao Bai."
"You're nothing like Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai is much better behaved than you."
Chen Hao took out a map from his arms and looked at it seriously.
The journey to the ancient city had now completed its first phase.
As they went deeper into the Polar Ice Land, the second stage of the journey would be even more perilous.
