Chapter 627: Pine Soul Four Rites: Smoke?

The Frost Beauty received excellent medical treatment in the gatehouse.

The medics on duty there were no ordinary ones. They were all medics who possessed the high-Quality Ocean Soul Skill – Sea Prayer Radiance!

It was well-known that Snow Realm and Ocean Soul Techniques didn’t conflict. Whether one’s Lifebound Soul Beast had the Snow Realm Attribute or the Ocean Attribute, they could still learn the other type of Soul Technique as a secondary skill.

As the foremost front line of the northern Snow Realm, Wan’an Pass was naturally equipped with many Soul Martial Warriors who possessed high-level Ocean Soul Techniques.

These soldiers were mostly assigned from the inland Ocean Soul Martial Teams, and in a way, they had made great personal sacrifices.

Since they had to be stationed here permanently, their Ocean Soul Techniques would never improve for the rest of their lives.

However… being so close to a Snow Realm Vortex, they could cultivate Snow Realm Soul Techniques very quickly. After three to five years, they would be formidable warriors once again.

It was just that their “major” had to switch from being Ocean Soul Martial Artists to Snow Realm Soul Martial Artists. The profession of a soldier was, after all, different from others; their duty was to obey orders.

If you were to ask a Social Practitioner to give up the Ocean Soul Technique they had cultivated for years to come to this frozen wasteland and switch to the Snow Realm Soul Technique, they would probably stomp their feet and curse up a storm. No one would come…

But the Snow Burning Army was still relatively humane. They didn’t drag Magma Soldiers or Starfield Soldiers over.

At least Ocean Soldiers could still cultivate Snow Realm Soul Techniques and absorb Ice and Snow Soul Power. It was just that converting Ocean Soul Power was extremely time-consuming and laborious.

If Starfield Soldiers or Magma Soldiers were brought here, their lives would truly be ruined!

Starfield and Magma Soul Skills were indeed effective against Snow Realm Soul Beasts and had immense destructive power.

But in the lands of the Snow Realm, Starfield and Magma Soldiers would not only be unable to advance their Soul Technique Cultivation for their entire lives, but they also couldn’t cultivate Snow Realm Soul Techniques…

Every Soul Martial Artist was bound to a Lifebound Soul Beast for life, which was the core of a Soul Martial Artist’s cultivation.

Could you imagine throwing Hu Bugui into a pool of lava for a bath and then making him cultivate Magma Soul Techniques?

You think Old Hu wouldn’t explode with rage?

Conversely, the situation would be the same if Starfield or Magma Lifebound Soul Beasts came to the Snow Realm…

That day at noon, after their 12-hour watch, Cheng Jiangjie led the Cyan Mountain Army to the gatehouse to retrieve the Frost Beauty, who was still unconscious, and brought her back to headquarters.

Speaking of which, the Third Wall’s person-in-charge giving the Cyan Mountain Army a separate small building was a true stroke of genius!

Having a base exclusive to their own unit meant that the Cyan Mountain Army was gradually becoming separate from the City Wall Guard Army.

The Cyan Mountain Army handled the Soul Beasts it captured internally, so it was a straightforward process. Cheng Jiangjie simply contacted the leadership of the Wan’an Pass City Wall Guard Army via walkie-talkie to report in, and then brought the Frost Beauty back to the unit without a hitch.

In the time that followed, the group took turns watching over the Frost Beauty. Soon, on the afternoon of the next day, Rong Taotao, who was inside his room furiously drawing and sheathing his blade, heard a shout from the hallway.

The Frost Beauty was awake!

“She’s awake?” Gao Lingwei’s eyes snapped open, and she sat up abruptly. The Cloud Dog and Snowball Cat, which had been playing on top of her, tumbled down onto her lap as she sat up…

“Yip?”

“Whine~”

That was right. While Rong Taotao was arduously practicing drawing and sheathing his blade, Gao Lingwei was napping on her bed. To her, the rhythmic SHING-CLANG of the cold weapon was a lullaby that helped her sleep soundly.

“Come on, let’s go see.” Rong Taotao beckoned to the Cloud Dog. The little guy immediately dissolved into mist, reformed above his head, and settled down.

The Snowball Cat, copying its counterpart, took a light leap and landed on Gao Lingwei’s head.

The Cyan Mountain Army’s so-called headquarters was just that small. In a few steps, the two of them crossed the hallway and arrived at a dorm room that had been converted into a sickbay for the Frost Beauty.

The dorm room was already full of people; every member of the Cyan Mountain Army was present.

The guard duty at the wall operated on a six-shift rotation. The Cyan Mountain Army handled two of these shifts, while the City Wall Guard Army covered the other four. It just so happened that at this particular time, all members of the Cyan Mountain Army were off duty and resting.

Rong Taotao stood at the doorway, peeking his head in curiously, and saw Cheng Jiangjie communicating with the Frost Beauty.

“&￥#*?”

“￥#%@…”

Unfortunately, the two were speaking the common racial language of humanoid Snow Realm Soul Beasts, which Rong Taotao couldn’t understand at all.

The Beast Language course wasn’t offered until the third year of university.

After guessing wildly for a while, Rong Taotao finally entered the room. He nudged the tall Xie Zhi with his elbow and said, “Give me a translation. What have they been talking about this whole time?”

The moment Rong Taotao spoke, he drew the Frost Beauty’s attention. Instantly, her pale, grayish-white eyes locked onto Rong Taotao’s head of naturally curly hair.

“Yip?” The Cloud Dog tilted its head, blinking its small, glossy black eyes. Looking at the beautiful young lady lying on the bed, it broke into a cute smile, its little pink tongue lolling out as it panted, “Hah, hah.”

Too bad the Frost Beauty wasn’t looking at it anymore, but at Rong Taotao’s natural curls…

Based on appearance alone, the Frost Beauty was truly first-class. Her beautiful Snow Cloak further accentuated her noble and elegant temperament, which aligned perfectly with human aesthetics.

“￥%#.” The Frost Beauty sat up. Her hazy, grayish-white eyes looked at Rong Taotao as she softly spoke a sentence.

Xie Zhi said, “She says, thank you for saving her life.”

Rong Taotao waved his hand dismissively. “Have you found out what her situation is?”
