Watching more and more behemoths appear, the relatively small size of Xiao Bai began to emit panicked cries.

Even Xiao Bai knew that the Six-Character Sealing Barrier summoned by Chen Hao wouldn't withstand even a single impact from a behemoth, let alone so many of them surrounding them.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Bai!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body raised her head to look up at Xiao Bai and said, her right hand tightly holding onto Chen Hao's arm, and after comforting Xiao Bai, she whispered to Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, I'm really scared."

Chen Hao glanced at her sideways and said, "I don't believe for a second that you're scared."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body snorted and said, "In your eyes, am I just a fearless queen?"

"Not a queen, a wild girl!"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body snorted again. "I don't care, you must protect me no matter what."

At that moment, many behemoths turned their massive and hostile eyes towards the few people inside the barrier.

"Eek!" Xiao Bai was suddenly so frightened that its soft fur stood on end.

"Damn it, Goddess, these behemoths seem to have spotted us." Xie Xiaofeng looked toward Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body anxiously.

"Chen Hao, I'll leave these behemoths to you!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said as she patted Chen Hao's shoulder, "Now is also a good chance for you to absorb the spiritual power of these behemoths to enhance the Nether King's Power."

Chen Hao showed a helpless expression, "So many! There must be at least a hundred, how can I possibly handle them all by myself! Besides, I haven't fully digested and absorbed the spiritual power from that behemoth a few days ago!"

"Absorbing so slowly!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body muttered, "How are you going to defeat my Imperial Grandfather at this rate? I'm really worried about our future."

"It looks like it's up to me!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body stood up from the snowy ground, "Didn't Meng Jiu impart me with quite a bit of Lie's flame power not long ago? I can just use this opportunity to test the effect of Lie's flame power!"

Just as Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was about to step out of the Six-Character Sealing Barrier, Xie Xiaofeng suddenly stood up and said, "Goddess, I just remembered something. Didn't Han Shuang and Tu Yi give us a stone when they left a few days ago?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body blinked, looking utterly clueless, apparently having no recollection of what Xie Xiaofeng was talking about.

"It's this stone." Xie Xiaofeng said while taking out the stone that emitted a faint blue glow from his bosom, "Didn't Han Shuang say, once this stone is awakened, the surrounding behemoths won't dare to approach us?"

"Is that so?"

"It seems to be the case."

Chen Hao's face showed a pleasantly surprised expression, then he reached out his hand to pull Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body back to his side to sit down, and then whispered, "You shouldn't go out."

"Chen Hao, are you worried about me?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body smiled beamingly.

"Of course I'm worried, we're companions."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's expression darkened, "I hate you, jerk!"

At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng closed his eyes and infused the stone with the Yin Qi Spiritual Power of the five elements.

Meanwhile, the behemoths also started to surround and close in on the group. Their uneven and heavy steps made the ground tremble nonstop, numerous cracks appearing on the frozen tundra, and countless large and small snow blocks collapsed from the snow mountains.

As the behemoths drew closer and the snow beneath the Six-Character Sealing Barrier crumbled and collapsed, the stone in Xie Xiaofeng's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling cold light, like a shining and brilliant large crystal.

A piercingly cold spiritual power surged out from the stone, breaking through the Six-Character Sealing Barrier and spreading outwards.

"It's so cold!" Even Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, inheriting Lie's fiery blood, couldn't help but shiver, while Chen Hao by her side was already covered with frost.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body generated a warm flame in her right hand, melting away the frost on Chen Hao's body.

Strangely, Xie Xiaofeng, who was clutching the stone, seemed to be completely unaffected and felt no chill whatsoever.

"The Six-Character Sealing Barrier has been shattered, and suddenly, I feel so insecure!" Chen Hao shivered and complained as he looked around, his view completely obstructed by the massive silhouettes of the beasts.

"The barrier you set up is as good as nothing," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said with a look of disdain, then triumphantly made a face at Chen Hao.

"Ao, ao, ao!" Xiao Bai efficiently dug a hole with its two front paws and stuffed its entire body inside, leaving only its huge head sticking out above the snow.

"Xiao Bai," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body used her left hand, ablaze with fire, to scorch Xiao Bai's snowy chin a bit, "You're such a scaredy-cat!"

"Ang!" Xiao Bai made a sound akin to pleading for mercy.

"Is this stone really useful?" Chen Hao questioned as he looked at the stone in Xie Xiaofeng's hand. On one hand, he had yet to discover anything special about the stone, and on the other, Xie Xiaofeng's daily practice mainly focused on cultivating Yang Energy Power. He was not adept at Yin Qi Spiritual Power.

Xie Xiaofeng ignored Chen Hao, as if he hadn't heard what Chen Hao had just said.

A moment later, the surrounding ancient beasts suddenly howled in agony, as if they had reached their peak, then turned and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Chen Hao's eyes widened with surprise and joy, exclaiming, "So the stone really is useful, how miraculous!"

"Ang!" Xiao Bai barked excitedly, then rolled up the snow from the hole it had dug and buried Chen Hao with it.

"Good job, Xiao Bai!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body couldn't help but snicker at the sight, finding it incredibly satisfying.

"Jiu, jiu!" Xiao Bai was not at all happy and lay down in front of the snow pile covering Chen Hao like a child who had made a mistake.

With a "Pfft," Chen Hao's head popped out of the snow pile, then he laughed at Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, it's okay, don't be so hard on yourself. I know you didn't mean it."

"There's a magic chant on this stone!" Xie Xiaofeng suddenly opened his eyes and declared, "After my Spiritual Power flowed into this stone, I heard a voice reciting a bizarre chant that scared all those ancient beasts away!"

"We didn't hear anything!" Chen Hao was amazed.

"Xiao Bai must not have heard it either, or it wouldn't have stayed so calm," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body remarked, looking at Xiao Bai.

"Ang!" Xiao Bai made a cheerful noise.

"Maybe these chants only work on the ancient beasts in this particular area!" Chen Hao speculated.

"Whatever," Xie Xiaofeng said with a smile on his face, "as long as it drives those ancient beasts away, that's all that matters."

At this very moment, within the ancient city, the Second Generation Nether King was employing Nether Vision to observe Chen Hao and his companions.

He had initially planned to use the ancient beasts to deal a blow to Chen Hao and his companions but hadn't expected them to repel the beasts with just a stone.

What's more, it seemed that no one besides himself could stop Chen Hao and his companions now.

He calculated that at the latest, within five days, Chen Hao and his companions would reach the ancient city.
