Lord of Nine Stars

In the snow forest, a team of people controlled the snowy night terrors and slowly stopped.

Rong Taotao frowned, looking at a chaotic snow forest with broken and toppled trees everywhere. It was hard to imagine what kind of battle this place had gone through before.

And this was already the third destroyed snow forest that Rong Taotao and others had seen. On their way to the northwest, the same scene actually appeared three times at a distance of thirty kilometers.

Rong Taotao even felt that he had encountered a ghost and kept spinning in circles.

If Rong Taotao hadn't left the Bai spirit barrier intact in his mind, he would have really thought that he was under someone's illusion.

"I can probably confirm what kind of creature it is." Zheng Qianqiu said.

"What?" Rong Taotao hurriedly rode forward and saw Zheng Qianqiu squatting next to a huge footprint.

Finally something is different!

Because the wind and snow here are too heavy, all kinds of traces will be covered up in an instant. It seems that the battle in this forest has not passed long, and the footprints have not been covered up by the wind and snow.

It's just that the footprint seems a bit too big?

Rong Taotao got off his horse and came to the footprints to compare them, but he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

How big are these feet? The footprints are actually bigger than Rong Taotao's entire body?

Zheng Qianqiu was very excited in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He said in a deep voice: "Master Xue, Xue Xiaowu."

Rong Taotao's eyes lit up, Master Snow! ?

Epic Master Snow, this is a weapon of war!

Due to special family reasons, Rong Taotao paid special attention to the war in the Three Walls area.

During the soul beast invasion war 18 years ago, including the previous wars, Master Snow appeared in the soul beast army!

But in the three-city battle two years ago, including the army of spirit beasts that Rong Taotao later encountered thirty kilometers outside Wan'an Pass, Master Snow was never seen.

Rong Taotao always thought that this race had been disappointed and had given up on joining the army of spirit beasts. Unexpectedly, it appeared here again?

Speaking of Master Xue and Xue Xiaowu, we have to mention the twin brothers and sisters in the second team of the Qingshan Army, Xie Zhi and Xie Ru!

Brother Xie Zhi is known as the "Snow Artist" and is good at making enemies into ice and snow sculptures.

His soul skill comes from Xue Xiaowu.

My younger sister Xie Ru can transform into a snow giant. When they surrounded Xiao Ziru, it was the transformed Xie Ru who caught Xiao Ziru who was trying to escape and threw him back into the encirclement.

His soul skills come from Master Snow!

While measuring the length of Master Xue’s footprints, Zheng Qianqiu patiently taught Rong Taotao: “Master Xue and Xue Xiaowu are a pair bound together.

Although Master Snow is full of destructive power, his actions are a little slow. And Xue Xiaowu can freeze objects into ice and snow sculptures for Master Snow to step on.

So there is such a cross-racial combination. "

Rong Taotao also became interested and asked, "The book says that Little Witch Xue will use a unique method to invite Master Xue to form a team?"

Zheng Qianqiu: "Yes, the Snow Witches are in human form and are almost the same as humans. In other words, their bodies are very fragile and cannot compare to those strong Snow Realm spirit beasts. Therefore, when they are young, they can only seek protection from the strong."

Rong Taotao: "."

Zheng Qianqiu: "The Xue Xiaowu clan is a very cruel race. The parents only care about giving birth and not raising children. The only thing the parents can do is to freeze some creatures and abandon the cubs next to the ice and snow sculptures, regardless of life or death.

The word "trampling" is in the nature of the Snow Master. They are born to want to trample everything, and they especially have a soft spot for exquisite objects.

Ice and snow sculptures fit their aesthetic perfectly. Therefore, such a special pair was born.

The Snow Master who is attracted by the ice and snow sculpture may crush it together with Xue Xiaowu, or he may adopt Xue Xiaowu. As for those Xue Xiaowu who were not trampled to death or picked up by Master Snow,

In the early stage, Master Xue raised Xue Xiaowu.

In the mid-term, Little Snow Witch, who has certain combat capabilities, will help Master Snow hunt and freeze targets, satisfying Master Snow's desire to destroy exquisite works of art.

It was a tragedy later on. "

Rong Taotao listened with rapt attention. Many things in the textbook were briefly mentioned. He hurriedly asked: "Why is the later period a tragedy?"

Zheng Qianqiu shook his head helplessly and said: "Once Xue Xiaowu reaches maturity and has a certain ability to survive, he will try to get rid of Master Xue.

Don't think of Master Snow as a good thing. They will not treat Little Snow Witch as their own child, but as a slave. Once Xue Xiaowu is able to make ice and snow sculptures, what awaits Xue Xiaowu is endless oppression and exploitation by Master Snow.

Under such slavery, Xue Xiaowu certainly wanted to escape, and this time point was usually after Xue Xiaowu had fully fledged, that is, when he entered the stage of maturity.

It is impossible for Master Snow to let the slave leave, and the two parties will never break up peacefully, so Master Snow will kill Xue Xiaowu directly before Xue Xiaowu enters the mature stage, or when he has the intention to leave.

This is also why there is a word "小" in Xue Xiaowu's name. Scholars named it this way, precisely because the vast majority of Xue Xiaowu were killed by Master Snow before they matured.

There are only a small number of Snow Little Witches who are lucky enough to escape, and after finding a mate, these Snow Little Witches will give birth to cubs, and repeat the old ways of their parents, abandoning the cubs and ice sculptures around Master Snow's lair, and leave in style.

Those adult Snow Witches who have escaped from the enslavement of the Snow Master will have a complete life. They have full wings and have the ability to hunt and survive.

They will also form partners with other escaped species, enjoy themselves freely, give birth freely, and abandon them at will.

This is the gene engraved in Xue Xiaowu's bones. They know how difficult and bitter the life of oppression is, but they will still leave the next generation to be raised by Master Xue, and let the next generation repeat their own old path. "

Rong Taotao couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard such a strange and curious story.

Xue Xiaowu is a real beast! It's okay to have fun, but don't look for me to be responsible? Send your children to be slaves with your own hands?

Master Snow is also a real genius. The children he raised have no emotions at all. They are just slaves and tools, and he kills them whenever he wants.

This combination is amazing! It’s amazing!

From beginning to end, this is a transaction, don't talk about feelings, we are not into that!

I will raise you up, and you will make ice and snow sculptures for me. When you come of age and leave, it will be up to you whether you live or die.

After thinking about it, Rong Taotao suddenly felt something was wrong.

Whether you live or die, it all depends on your ability?

Zheng Qianqiu said: "According to the size of the transformed giant, this Snow Giant should be at the palace level."

Zheng Qianqiu was still analyzing, but Rong Taotao said: "Zheng Jiao, can we think about it from another angle?"

"Huh?" Zheng Qianqiu looked at Rong Taotao curiously, "What angle?"

Rong Taotao thought for a while and said: "When Xue Xiaowu reaches adulthood, whether he can survive or not depends purely on his ability."

Zheng Qianqiu: "So?"

Rong Taotao organized his words and said: "Perhaps there is no such thing as 'cruelty' in Xue Xiaowu's concept. They are spirit beasts after all, they just look like humans.

Perhaps the Xue Xiaowu clan regarded the process of being oppressed, resisting and fleeing as a matter of survival of the fittest.

Only Xue Xiaowu who can escape and survive will have better genes and be qualified to reproduce the next generation. "

Zheng Qianqiu's expression froze:! ! !

Rong Taotao's approach to the problem is quite tricky!

If analyzed from this level, then Xue Xiaowu is not "irresponsible" at all, and this has completely become a "survival of the fittest" situation in the soul beast world.

Therefore, Xue Xiaowu not only used Master Snow to raise his cubs, but also let Master Snow teach the cubs how to hunt, and experience firsthand the cruelty of the world of spirit beasts.

They are also using Master Snow to select better quality members of the next generation?

Such an angle completely overturns the entire theory!

So now the question comes, between Xue Xiaowu and Master Xue, who is the tool?

Is Xue Xiaowu on the first floor or on the fifth floor?

Under Zheng Qianqiu's gaze, Rong Taotao felt a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head out of habit, but he scratched the thick snowflake wolfskin hood: "Uh, that's nonsense."

Zheng Qianqiu suddenly said: "Why do you think so?"

Rong Taotao hesitated for a moment and then said: "The environment in which a child grows up during his childhood is definitely an important factor that affects a child's life.

This unique environment has shaped who I am today, my personality, traits, and my life goals and choices.

Of course, I am not being disrespectful or comparing my parents with the Xue Xiaowu clan. There is a qualitative difference between humans and spirit beasts. Just understand what I mean.

What I want to say is that if I grew up in a warm family environment, I might not be who I am now. As for me who grew up on another path, we can't make a conclusion whether the outcome is good or bad.

What we are discussing is not my problem, but this situation gave me some inspiration.

Soul beasts are absolutely different from humans. Regarding things like mental health and personality integrity, Xue Xiaowu doesn't have enough IQ to pay attention to these, right?

Therefore, such a simple and crude selection method and pure survival of the fittest may be the natural choice of the Xue Xiaowu clan. "

Listening to Rong Taotao's words, other teachers looked over for a while.

"Ha" Zheng Qianqiu couldn't help but sigh softly and looked at Rong Taotao silently.

After a long time, Zheng Qianqiu stretched out his hand, patted Rong Taotao's shoulder gently and said: "You are a bit spiritual. After returning to school from this mission, summarize your theories, sort them out, and give me a copy. paper."

Rong Taotao:? ? ?

I brought you out to hunt down the Flower Man.

Why did you give me homework?

In the center of the field, Yang Chunxi, holding a big flag, felt a little uncomfortable. She hesitated for a moment, but still tried to liven up the atmosphere and change the topic: "Professor Zheng, you have to accept a disciple as soon as possible.

Teacher Cha Chaer has already appointed Rong Taotao to be his graduate student and work with him to develop snow realm soul skills. "

"Haha." Zheng Qianqiu laughed dumbly and changed the subject, saying, "Get on the horse first."

Zheng Qianqiu turned on Xue Ye Jing and said, "Master Snow and Xue Xiaowu are both very good choices for soul pets. Teachers who have free soul slots can discuss it. We will pursue them first, and you can make a decision as soon as possible."

Rong Taotao hurriedly caught Si Huanian's snowy night terrors and asked, "Can they be soul pets?"

"Of course." Zheng Qianqiu rode forward and said, "Both of them are very powerful and have extremely high potential. Xue Xiaowu's highest potential is legendary level, and Snow Master is an epic level soul beast, so of course they can be used as soul pets.

A soul pet is not a natal soul beast, and there is no need for a spiritual connection between the soul warrior and the soul pet. Naturally, the stronger the soul pet you absorb, the better.

As long as you are strong enough and can control the Snow Master, it can certainly be used by you. Of course, the premise must be that you can control the Snow Master. As for Xue Xiaowu"

Rong Taotao turned to look at Zheng Qianqiu who was behind the scenes, and said hurriedly: "Is it true that the nature of the Xue Xiaowu clan is okay? What if Xue Xiaowu is not caused by the survival of the fittest gene, or is simply irresponsible?"

Zheng Qianqiu showed a smile: "This is why I asked you to organize the paper, because there was a precedent of a soul warrior absorbing Xue Xiaowu as a soul pet.

I originally thought that Xue Xiaowu was just an example, repaying a favor, but now it seems that your theoretical hypothesis seems to have some value for discussion.

After that soul warrior rescued Xue Xiaowu from Master Xue's slavery, he indeed received Xue Xiaowu's gratitude. "

As he said that, Zheng Qianqiu glanced at the front right with a vague look, and said: "After absorbing Xue Xiaowu as a soul pet, it is equivalent to saving it from the harsh laws of the jungle and providing it with a home.

As long as the soul warrior doesn't enslave Xue Xiaowu, it probably won't leave.

Master Snow and Little Witch Xue are both humanoid soul beasts with certain intelligence, and can practice snow realm soul skills created by humans. You have to think about the value yourself. "

Listening to Zheng Qianqiu's words, Rong Taotao was a little confused!

Because Zheng Qianqiu glanced at Li Lie in the front right of the formation with his vague eyes!

The thoughts in Rong Taotao's mind were racing. Not long ago, Sihuanian told Rong Taotao that Li Lie once had a soul pet, and it died in the snow whirlpool!

Could it be that Li Lie was the one who set the precedent and accepted Xue Xiaowu as his soul pet? ?

From the position of the central army, Yang Chunxi said loudly: "Master Snow is a weapon of war and full of destructive power. The battlefield level that Xiao Jiao will participate in in the future will definitely be high, and Xiao Jiao has enough strength to suppress Master Snow."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ziru, who rarely responded, waved his hand without looking back. It seemed that he had no interest in the giant.

Si Huanian tilted his head and looked at Yang Chunxi and said, "Chunxi, the thing that can calm Master Xue the most is you, your eyes.

Professor Zheng said that this Snow Giant is currently at the palace level. You can take advantage of the opportunity to take a look at it more and take good care of it.

You know how rare the Snow Giants are. With their heavy and huge bodies, they are rarely blown to the earth by wind and snow. The five-month polar night blizzard weather has indeed brought many good things to the earth.

Chunxi, you must seize the opportunity. This is an epic war weapon. In the past few invasions of the Snow Realm army, Master Snow made the Three Walls Guards suffer a lot. "

Hearing this, Yang Chunxi nodded silently, as if he had decided something in his heart.

However, what the teachers were discussing was Master Xue. It seemed that in their hearts, they had already determined who Xue Xiaowu belonged to.

Rong Taotao looked at Li Lie in front of him on the right. In his impression, this cheerful man had never been so silent as now.

I don’t know what Li Lie is going through in his heart at this time.
