Chapter 159: Polar Ice Worm
They moved forward along the ice field. There was no shelter here. All they could see was snow. Everything on the ice field was so clear.
This is a white world.
As he got closer to the blue dot, Porro became more and more alert.
He also said, "The noise is getting louder and louder. You must watch your step."
Even without Pororo saying anything, Alka and Jason could hear the noise coming from under the ice field with their naked ears.
It sounded like the sound of ice breaking, as if something was constantly wearing away the ice.
The crackling sound came closer and farther away, but the creature that could sense the movement below had obviously noticed the arrival of Alka and the others.
Because although the sound was getting closer and farther, they could hear the monster circling around them.
The three of them immediately stood back to back and became alert.
"Be careful, that monster is targeting us."
The surrounding sounds began to fade away and spread straight towards where they were.
The friction sound was getting closer and louder.
"Jump!"
Pororo reminded them, and the three of them immediately jumped up from the ice field and leaped directly into the air seven or eight meters high.
There was a loud bang, and a huge crack appeared on the ice beneath their feet.
A white mist composed of ice debris spread around, and a snow-white monster covered with barbs drilled out from below.
A twisted snake-like insect.
The huge mouth was full of serrations and was chewing non-stop. No eyes or nose could be seen. Only the huge mouth that almost took up half of the head could be seen.
Its body is like a snake, and its surface is covered with ice-like barbs and huge shells.
The huge mouth opened directly and bit the three people in the air. As the sharp teeth opened, there was sticky saliva.
The moment Alka jumped in mid-air, a blue card appeared on each of his hands and he threw them down with force.
The two blue cards drew two beautiful arcs, approached the monster's mouth from both sides, and then exploded.
10 chains popped out from both sides, connected to each other and locked together instantly, then wrapped around the enemy's mouth.
The sharp mouth that was originally open, still emitting a foul stench and a roar, was tightly closed in an instant due to the action of external force.
It was tightly wrapped with blue chains several times.
Porro in the air had tattoos all over his hands and back that looked like flowing water, and his eyes were flashing blood red.
Then the bodies of the three people fell down due to gravity.
Taking advantage of the acceleration of the fall, Alka stepped hard on the monster's head. As the huge mouth that took up almost half of the head was closed, this kick directly broke several exposed teeth.
Porro fell from the monster's side, his claws completely inserted into the monster's body, leaving extremely exaggerated wounds as he slid downwards.
A hint of dark red blood mixed with the dark green gushed out from the gaping wound.
However, such ugly blood, when it gushed out, carried with it a fresh plant fragrance, unlike its foul appearance.
As its mouth was tightly wrapped by the water chain, the monster kept struggling, and even its screams were trapped in its throat.
Jason chose the same method as Porollo, falling from the other side, holding a sailor's knife in his hand, and inserted it into the enemy's body, cutting a similar crack as the gravity of the fall.
As the enemy struggled hard, the water chain in his mouth began to lose its stability, and a red card appeared in Alka's hand.
He stuffed the tooth into the monster's mouth, filling the gap left by the broken tooth he had kicked.
He dropped down from the side and gave the monster a hard kick on the chin, causing it to fall backwards.
Alka's fell directly into the snow.
Followed by a dull sound.
Flames gushed out of the monster's mouth, and the piercing screams almost pierced their eardrums, making it a little unbearable for them.
However, compared to them, the monster had completely fallen on the ice, and part of its body was even buried in the ice and had not completely come out.
But its huge body kept shattering the surrounding snow and ice as it struggled, making the surrounding area a sea of flying snow and broken ice.
A burnt smell wafted over, and the temperature around him rose noticeably.
The monster fell on the ice, twisting and twitching constantly, but it could be seen that the movements were becoming smaller and smaller.
The remaining dark green color mixed with a hint of red turbid blood began to spread on the ice surface, and then slowly froze into ice cubes.
Until the body stops moving completely.
An ice monster with the strength of a double spiral was easily dealt with by three people.
Alka didn't even bother to let the pink mist spread. Before he knew it, his strength had reached this point.
"This monster is too big!" Jason couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the corpse of the monster in front of him.
The snake-like body is at least one and a half to two meters wide, and what is even more frightening is its length.
The part that protruded from the ice was about seven or eight meters long, but it could be seen that at least part of its body was still buried in the ice.
Alka walked to the monster's body, took out a dagger and cut off a piece of the monster's body.
I took the meat and smelled it. It really had a light plant fragrance, and there was no bloody smell at all.
More like the juice of some plant.
He looked at the flesh and blood in front of him and studied it.
"This meat doesn't look like animal meat. This blood looks like plant juice. What kind of animal and plant mixture is this? How weird."
Alka was not an expert in this area either, and after looking at it for a few times, he couldn't help but shook his head.
I have no idea how such a huge monster could be born in this damn place.
"This should be a sea monster that has taken this island as its home."
Lucilia, who was standing on Alka's shoulder, said after examining the monster's body along with Alka.
She found some characteristics of sea beasts in this monster.
"Forget it, who cares."
Alka waved his hand nonchalantly, then together with Pororo and Jason, they pulled the remaining body of the monster out of the ice cave below.
Only after the entire body was pulled out could everyone see the full appearance of the monster.
Its body length reaches an astonishing 16 meters, making it a true giant monster.
If they had just let the entire body of the monster come out, they would have had to put in a lot of effort to kill this huge monster.
However, as soon as he stuck his head out, he was surrounded and killed by them before he could display his strength.
The creatures that exist on Iceland certainly cannot meet its needs, coupled with its fish-like tail.
It was confirmed that it was indeed a sea monster.
Alka looked at the map in his hand.
The blue light should be less than 800 meters away from him.
There was nothing for at least 2 kilometers ahead, just an endless plain.
Look at the ice hole left by this monster.
Could it be in there?
The blue dots are hidden under the ice? That fits the characteristics of this island.
Alka pointed to the ice hole where the monster came out and said, "Why don't we take a look inside."
The two nodded without raising any objections.
Jason was even interested.
The three of them walked down from the hole where the monster came out, but just as they were about to get in, they encountered a problem.
Given Polo's size, it is difficult for him to pass through, which is very inconvenient.
"Oh, forget it. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the cave and keep a close watch."
Seeing Porro's helpless look, the two could only smile helplessly and then went in.
Probing inside the cave along the entrance, due to the transparency of the ice surface and the sun shining brightly above, there was plenty of light inside the cave.
But as we walked further in, it seemed like we were going further down. The entrance of the cave was spreading downward, and the inside of the cave was becoming darker and darker.
Alka controlled the floating lantern, illuminating their surroundings.
"It's quite warm in here. I thought it would be cold." Jason said and touched the ice surface in the cave.
Then they came to a fork in the road.
Two circular holes appeared in front of them.
"Um...how do I choose?"
Jason said as he stepped back and looked at Alka.
Alka looked at the map in his hand.
"This way." After saying that, he took Jason to the cave entrance on the left.
They found quite a few skeletons in the caves along the way. Of course, these skeletons had nothing to do with humans, they were all animal skeletons.
And many of the bones are characteristic of fish.
It should be the food of the sea monster just now.
Finally, in the darkness in the distance, I saw a little blue flash.
Jason looked at the blue flash in the distance and rubbed his eyes: "Are my eyes blurry ?"
"No, that's our goal."
Because in addition to the blue flash, Alka also saw the outline of a familiar blue border.
He walked over quickly with Jason.
As the light shone past, Alka also saw the original appearance of the blue border.
A one-handed long sword, the whole thing is translucent in color, as if it was carved out of ice.
Regardless of the power of this sword, its appearance alone makes it a work of art.
The two men standing next to the sword could both feel the chill emanating from it.
The handle of the sword was held in the hand of a corpse, and except for the head, right shoulder and right arm, the rest of the corpse was frozen in the ice.
Even the tip of the sword was still in the ice.
"The reason you came here is this sword?"
Jason reached out and touched the blade of the translucent ice sword, then immediately pulled his hand back.
“It’s so cold!”
Alka looked at the blade and reached out to touch it. A chill immediately surged up his arm and the blue border disappeared.
The translucent sword also emits a faint blue light, and due to its translucent sword body, the light is slightly dazzling.
A faint heat emerged from Alka's hand, and then a flame emerged from his palm and began to heat the ice surface in front of him.
This is a more handy control method after you have mastered the cross of normalizing.
As the flames heated it, the ice slowly melted.
This went on for about 20 minutes until a dent appeared on the ice and the corpse inside fell down.
The blue translucent ice blade also fell to the ground.
After the tip of the sword left the ice, it no longer emitted blue light, and the chill it emitted was not as exaggerated as before.
The feeling before was as if it would freeze people into ice.
Apart from feeling very cold when holding it in the hand, there is no sense of bone-chilling cold intrusion.
At least you can hold it in your hand and won't get frostbitten immediately.
Alka opened the map and took a look.
【Treasure Harvest: Frost Blade.】
Is this sword called Frost Blade? It's really simple and direct.
Alka grasped the hilt of the sword and held it in his hand. The cold touch kept flowing into his palm.
It feels like putting your hand into ice water in winter and holding a piece of ice that is still frosted and just taken out of the refrigerator.
The biting cold was unbearable.
Alka handed the sword directly to Jason.
"Would you like to give it a try? If you can bear it, I'll leave it to you."
Jason took the hilt of the sword and swung it twice before he couldn't help but plunge it into the ice beneath his feet.
He blew on his hands and rubbed them madly.
He shook his head regretfully: "No, no, this is too cold. Not to mention attacking, it's uncomfortable to hold."
He couldn't bear the coldness of the sword.
Hearing this, Alka shrugged and took the blade in his hand before throwing it directly into his pocket ring.
"Then it seems that it is not meant for you. Go back."
As usual, Alka took out a sack, put the bones into the bag, and then returned with Jason the same way.
When the two came out of the cave.
He frowned when he noticed that there was a small group of other people outside besides Pororo.
Pororo heard the noise behind him, looked at the two people and said directly: "They are tribal residents living in the Arctic Triangle, tribal hunters from the Snow Island."
Arka, who came out after hearing this, frowned and nodded.
The Arctic Triangle is not uninhabited. According to church information, the three islands were previously inhabited by different populations.
Either they came here to escape disaster, or they were originally residents of the three islands and were unwilling to leave despite the cold, so they stayed behind.
Over the past few hundred years, they gradually developed into tribes.
But this is the Icecap Island, and Porro said that this group of tribal hunters are from the Snowcoat Island.
Snow Island is the island that Alka and his friends are about to go to, the island that holds the treasure.
It takes at least two weeks of normal sailing to get to Snow Island from here. How did these people come here?
These hunters were cutting some flesh and outer skin from the sea beast.
At this time, a hunter who seemed to be the leader saw Alka coming out of the cave, and the two of them ran over with a smile.
He held a spear in his hand, and on his back were several short-handled javelins and a harpoon.
He was wearing thick plush leather clothing, wrapping himself tightly.
"You were the ones who killed this blood-toothed beast, right?"
Listening to the words of the middle-aged man in front of him, Alka nodded.
Although the tone was a bit strange, I could still understand it.
"Thank you so much? Thank you, thank you for killing this monster."
Looking at the puzzled looks of Alka and others.
He quickly said, "We used to be tribal residents living on the Ice Island. It was because of the arrival of the Bloodtooth Beast that we had to leave the island and go to the Snow Island to seek help."
"We have lived on that island all these years, but we still come here from time to time every year to see if the monster has left."
Hearing the story of the middle-aged man in front of him, Alka nodded in understanding.
This means that this monster has only been on the island for a few years, so there is no specific record of it in the church's documents.
Thinking of this, Alka waved his hand.
"No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."
Alka didn't have much desire to communicate with the group of strangers in front of him. He waved at them and walked towards the shore with Porro and the others.
The purpose of coming here has been achieved, and there is no need to stay here any longer.
Just return the same way.
When we arrived at the shore, we saw a two-masted sailing ship about 20 meters long parked on the shore not far away.
It should be the ship of the group of hunters just now.
There were still a few people left on the ship, watching Alka and the others warily.
Alka and the others ignored them, pushed the Feiyan into the water, and quickly headed towards the spell ship on the sea.
After arriving under the ship, he used the fallen rope to tie Feiyan to the side of the ship again.
Back on deck.
"Have you met the hunters from that tribe?"
As soon as Xia Daiti came up, he looked at them and asked.
Alka nodded, then briefly explained the situation of the hunters.
After understanding the situation, Xia Daiti nodded and didn't pay too much attention to it.
When they come here, they will not have much interaction with the tribal residents, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them.
Instead, he looked at Alka and the others and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? Did you gain anything?"
Alka nodded, stretched out his hands, and the translucent ice sword appeared in his hands, which he placed directly on the deck.
Due to the cold air around, a small circle of frost spread around the sword as soon as it was placed on the deck.
"A magical weapon. It should be the weapon used by the family of the Frost Bloodline. A corpse was also seen next to this weapon."
When Alka returned, he had already buried the body on the island.
Looking at this weapon, Xiadaiti and Julia seemed very interested.
Because the appearance of this weapon is really beautiful, more like a carved work of art.
"Does anyone of you want to use it? If you do, pick it up and try to see if it works."
Hearing Alka's words.
Xia Daiti simply lifted up the ice sword by the handle, swung it twice, and then put it down again.
I couldn't help but rub my palms together.
"It's so cold. My hands will freeze if I use them too much."
Xia Daiti was a person who fought with his fists, and he was not used to using weapons, let alone this weapon.
She was just curious and wanted to try it.
Porro didn't even know how to use the weapon, and the length of the weapon was seriously inconsistent with his body size.
It might have been like a little dagger to him.
Everyone looked at Julia. Apart from Porro, she was the only one who was extremely cold-resistant.
Julia walked over, took the sword in her hand, and swung it twice casually.
Seems very satisfied.
This little chill was nothing to her.
It seems that the sword has found a master who can wield it.
