Chapter 1353 Legend
The old chief saw the doubt in Lu Yun's heart and said, "There is a legend among us Snow Tribe people. Countless years ago, God was very kind to us poor Snow Tribe people, so God sent a messenger to help us."
"He brought us food and everything we needed, but also disasters. He demanded offerings from us, and if anyone resisted, he would kill the rebellious Snow Tribe people and suck their flesh and blood."
"After a long time, someone from the Snow Tribe finally stood up. He is a warrior of our Snow Tribe, and his name is Gagonglong."
"He brought a sharp blade made by everyone and came to the temple where the messenger of God was. However, his strength was not enough to kill the messenger. In the end, he was killed by the messenger and his head was hung on the top of a high snowy mountain."
"Later, the Snow Tribe named the mountain Gagonglong Mountain in his memory, which is what we now call the forbidden area."
The old patriarch seemed tired, so he changed into a more comfortable posture and continued his story.
"It seems that the heavens were moved by Gagonglong's will and punished the messenger, but the messenger did not die. Instead, all the sins were attributed to the Snow Tribe."
"So, he used the power of heaven and earth to place a curse on the Snow Clan. That is, the Snow Clan members can never be promoted to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, can't fly, and can't leave this bitter cold land."
"In addition, he also asked us to double our offerings, otherwise the Snow Tribe would be exterminated."
"But as a result, the already poor life of the Snow Tribe became even more difficult. Later, Hades appeared and fought a fierce battle with the messenger, and in the end, both sides suffered heavy losses."
Having said this, the old patriarch wiped away his tears.
"What happened next?" Long Ying asked.
"What happened next? Humph, what happened next? Hades stopped caring about us Snow Tribe members and took away the Nether Fire that we depend on for survival. Since then, the number of Snow Tribe members has dropped drastically. Now, there are less than one million Snow Tribe members left alive."
"In order for the Snow Tribe to continue, the Snow Tribe members jointly elected a shrewd Snow Tribe member as the leader. However, this leader secretly colluded with the envoys and used various methods to manipulate the Panpo Snow Tribe members. He also summoned his own confidants and bribed many Snow Tribe members to work for him."
"For thousands of years, the Snow Tribe has tried every possible means to survive. When food was scarce, we even used ice to fill our stomachs."
After listening to the old patriarch's story, Long Ying actually shed tears quietly.
"If you want to find the source of the Hellfire, you must first find the temple. The temple is located on the top of Mount Gagonglong. However, this mountain is controlled by the king. That is the right granted to it by the messenger with great power."
The old patriarch led the two out of the ice house and pointed to the distance and said, "In that direction, someone in our tribe claimed to have seen the forbidden area appear there."
A layer of ice crystals formed on the old patriarch's white eyebrows, and there was a hint of longing in his turbid eyes.
The two said goodbye to the old patriarch and flew in the direction he pointed.
"The people of the Snow Tribe are so pitiful. Not only are they controlled by that messenger, but they are also harmed by their own people." Long Ying said indignantly.
"Yes, if this story is true, I sympathize with them," Lu Yun replied.
"Do you think the old patriarch deceived us?"
"The first suspicious point is that he wasn't surprised to see the Originium on us!"
Long Ying frowned.
"The second question is, when we came out, none of the Snow Tribe members were there. Did they distribute all the food?"
"You're right."
"The third doubt is, you may not believe it, if we go back now, there will be nothing there, as if they had never been there."
Long Ying obviously didn't believe what he said, so he turned around and flew back.
Lu Yun chased after him with a smile.
Sure enough, there was no trace left on the ice surface.
"How could this happen!" Long Ying was shocked.
"I can be sure of one thing." Lu Yun said, "At least the direction the old patriarch pointed us to is correct."
"how do you know?"
"intuition."
Lu Yun turned and flew away.
The two of them changed to a second Originium shield. This was the second day since they entered the bitter cold land.
There is still an icy blue and white snow in his eyes.
However, they did not see any hill-like terrain on the slope.
No one knows when the forbidden area and the temple can be found, and the source of the underworld fire is even more out of reach.
“I always feel cheated.”
"Ah? Don't you want to tell me that everything the old patriarch said is a lie?"
"No, I'm talking about your Lord Yuwen Nian." Lu Yun said, "He only told you that there is the source of the Nether Fire here, but have you ever thought about whether the source of the Nether Fire is really here?"
"Let me put it another way. If we hadn't encountered the Snow Tribe, do you really believe that the source of the Hellfire is in this world?"
"I believe it." Long Ying nodded vigorously and said, "There is no reason for Lord Yuwen Nian to lie to me."
"Heh." Lu Yun shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. Maybe this world has already covered the forbidden area of Gagonglong Mountain?
Wouldn’t that mean I’ll never find it in my lifetime?
Lu Yun used his spiritual sense to explore under the ice, but before he could probe very deep, his soul was frozen to the point of being unable to bear it.
"what is that?"
Long Ying looked to the end of his sight, and it seemed to be a dense forest.
Lu Yun was also curious, so he decided to go over and take a look.
That's right, when the two came closer, they did see a dense white forest, but the forest was not made up of trees, but icicles.
The two men fell from the sky and shuttled through the dense forest.
I reached out and touched it, and it felt icy cold.
Each icicle is half a foot thick and several dozen feet high.
Lu Yun said to Long Ying: "This place is not as simple as it seems. Look carefully and you may find something."
The two of them acted separately.
Lu Yun noticed that one of the icicles looked strange.
The other icicles were transparent, but he could only see the white inside the one in front of him.
In theory, this is not surprising. Although the process of icicle formation is the same, it is like students studying in the same classroom, there will always be differences.
He reached out and slapped it hard, but the solid icicle didn't react at all.
Lu Yun activated the imperial energy and increased his strength.
"Click."
Cracks appeared in the icicles.
"Is the strength still not enough? Then increase it a little more."
Lu Yun changed his palm into a fist, covered everything with the imperial energy, shouted loudly, and smashed the icicle with force.
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, the icicle broke.
The icicles that were dozens of feet high just fell to the side.
And inside the icicle, a human skeleton was revealed.
When Long Ying heard the sound, he hurried to Lu Yun's side and was stunned when he looked at the skeleton.
This skeleton is very different from normal skeletons. The parts visible to the naked eye, such as the ribs, are not separated by one by one, but connected as one piece.
