Chapter 708: The Icefield (2)
Translator: 549690339
It was indeed worthy of being called the ice field. Zhao Hai took a closer look at the ice field through the surveillance camera. The top of the ice field was covered with a layer of snow. Under the snow was a layer of solid ice that had not melted for thousands of years. The ice was extremely thick, and it was rare for the ground to be directly buried under the snow.
After a while, Laura sighed. &Quot; this place is so beautiful. But it must be cold here. I don’t think there will be any business here. &Quot;
Zhao Hai shook his head and pointed to a piece of soil that was covered by snow.”That’s not for sure. Do you see that piece of land? Although there doesn’t seem to be any living things on the ground, if you look closely, you’ll see that there’s a white thing on the surface of the ground. It’s not snow, but a living thing.”
Laura and the others stared at the spot that Zhao Hai pointed at with wide eyes. There was indeed a thin layer there. It was very thin, even thinner than paper. The layer was white and looked like snow under the snow. However, if you looked closely, you would realize that it was not snow, but something like moss. It was actually a living thing.
Melgen said in disbelief,”my God, is this really a living thing?” This, this was too strange, right? How did this thing survive in such an environment? Big brother hai, let’s go down and collect some of these things.”
“Sure,” Zhao Hai replied with a smile. With that said, the evil spirit blood staff fell from space to the ground. Then, Zhao Hai put it away.
As soon as Zhao Hai put away the evil spirit blood staff, it was as if they were standing on the ice plains of the extreme north. They had been flying at a fast speed before, and now they were very deep in the ice plains of the extreme north. As soon as Zhao Hai put away the staff, Laura and the others felt a gust of cold air surrounding them. This cold air was not like the cold wind in winter. It seemed to be corporeal, gushing down towards Zhao Hai and the others like water, constantly pressing on them.
Zhao Hai and the others were all 9th-tier powerhouses, and they had strong blood energy. Even if they didn’t use combat energy or magic equipment, they were immune to the cold and heat. The temperature changes didn’t affect them at all.
However, it was different in the ice fields of the extreme north. The cold air here seemed to have frozen their blood, and even their thoughts.
Zhao Hai noticed this as well. He immediately moved his hand, and the evil spirit blood staff turned into a red, transparent cover. It covered a few of them, and the cold feeling disappeared.
Only then did Laura and the others catch their breath.”My God, isn’t it too cold here? Why is it so cold? I’m level nine now, but it seems like I’ve been frozen in an instant. My God, how low is the temperature? big brother hai, are you sure that thing is alive?”
Zhao Hai smiled. With a wave of his hand, the snow on the ground in front of him was split apart. The snow was a few meters thick and extremely hard. When Zhao Hai and the others stood on it, it was like stepping on stone.
Zhao Hai only stopped when he saw the land under the snow. He moved his hand and a large piece of land was sucked up. Then, with a thought, he returned the group to the origin space.
As soon as he entered the space, a notification sounded, ” &Quot; a special creature has been discovered. This creature can survive in extremely low temperatures. Ability extracted. Spatial creature has increased cold resistance. &Quot;
Zhao Hai then threw the piece of land on the ground and turned to Laura and the others, ” “How is it? I’m not wrong, right? this thing is really a living thing.”
Laura looked at the piece of soil that Zhao Hai had thrown to the ground. After the stone fell to the ground, not a single bit of powder fell off. It seemed to be harder than a stone.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, ” “How is it? Do you still want to go out and take a look?”
Laura and the others couldn’t help but shiver, shaking their heads at the same time. Laura said, ” “Forget it, let’s just stay in the space and let the staff fly on its own.”
Zhao Hai smiled. With a wave of his hand, the staff disappeared from his hand. To be honest, he didn’t want to go out either. It was fine to look at the snow, but it would be annoying if he looked at it for too long.
They sat down in the living room. Zhao Hai took out a bottle of rice wine and poured a cup for each of them. After drinking it, they heaved a sigh of relief and felt a bit warmer. The bone-chilling cold gradually disappeared.
After putting down the glass, meg let out a long sigh and said, ” “It’s terrifying. It’s really too terrifying. No wonder it’s one of the five forbidden areas of the continent. Even a rank 9 powerhouse would freeze to death in this place. I think this place is even more terrifying than the corpse swamp.” Laura and the other girls all nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, ” “Oh, really? I don’t think so. We just didn’t prepare for it. If we were, that wouldn’t have happened. We haven’t found a single gold ape corpse so far, so I believe that the gold apes must have gone deeper into the northern ice fields. I want to stop here for a while and use my staff to explore the northern ice fields and see if I can find any living gold apes.”
Lola frowned and said, ” it can’t be, right? brother hai. You can’t possibly think that the king Kong apes that were exiled to the icy Plains of the extreme north are still alive, right? ” How was that possible? I’m sure not all of the diamond ape tribesmen are ninth-grade powerhouses. The cold air here in the icy Plains of the extreme north can even freeze us ninth-grade powerhouses, can the diamond ape tribesmen withstand it?”
Zhao Hai smiled, ” “Don’t look down on any race. The potential of humans is infinite. We humans were born weaker than the orcs, but we can still compete with them. In fact, the orcs aren’t even as strong as us. We humans can achieve this through our own cultivation, not to mention the former king of the orcs. The orcs worship strength the most.
Laura thought for a moment. &Quot; alright then, let’s look for them. I really want to see how the king Kong ape tribe will look if they survive. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. He controlled the blood staff to fly across the icy Plains of the extreme north to see if he could find any other living creatures. However, to his disappointment, they did not encounter any living creatures. Other than the White Moss, there were no other living creatures. They did see some people who had been frozen to death, but these people had been dead for too long. They had been blown away by the cold wind of the icy Plains of the extreme north, leaving only a few stone-like bones.
Zhao Hai didn’t seem to mind. He continued to search the ice field with his staff. Since they were in the origin space, they wouldn’t be delayed, so they might as well spend more time searching.
It took Zhao Hai two whole days to check the entire perimeter of the ice field. He kept his blood staff and continued on his journey when he saw the White Bear tribesmen.
After two days of searching, Zhao Hai did not find anything. Just like before, other than the moss, there was no other living thing. There was only ice and snow.
Two days later, Zhao Hai controlled his staff to fly into the icy Plains again. He didn’t believe that all of the gold ape race was dead. Even if all of them were dead, he should be able to find their corpses. It didn’t make sense that he hadn’t found a large number of corpses.
The search was extremely tedious, but Zhao Hai persisted. He believed that even if he couldn’t find the king Kong ape, he would be able to find other living beings. Moss was not the only living thing in the icy Plains of the extreme north. There must be other living beings.
Zhao Hai was so confident because he had seen on earth that even in harsh environments, there were still living things. For example, the north and south poles on earth were full of living things. He believed that there must be living things in the ice plains of the extreme north.
