Chapter 19: The Ice King
In the far north, beneath the layers of glaciers, there is a hidden cave.
The cave is integrated with the glacier and looks like it was formed naturally. However, if you walk down the entrance of the cave, you will see that the ice wall in the depths is extremely smooth, and if you get close to it with fire, it will not even melt, and it is clear that it has been strengthened by some kind of ability.
Going deeper down this sleek tunnel, you will find a huge cavity in the center of the glacier, in which various rooms and facilities are built, and countless researchers and staff members are walking around, looking very busy.
Unlike normal research facilities, the buildings here are made entirely of ice, and most of the researchers have ice-blue skin and dark eyes......
The Ice Clan, a powerful race living in the far north, was only a few hundred thousand people in its heyday, and was naturally suitable for surviving in cold environments, and could also cast cryogenic abilities, and was once slaughtered by humans as xenomorphs, but recent research has shown that they are nothing more than a branch of a group of humans, a group of human branches that are born with abilities and can be continued through bloodlines.
Unfortunately, by the time humans realized this, the Ice Clan had already been condemned as a genocide.
But who would have thought that in the depths of the glaciers in the far north, there would be so many ice people surviving.
The Ice King, one of the Nine Kings of the Nine Kings Sect, and the only hereditary Nine Kings. Hundreds of years ago, when mankind was committed to exterminating the Ice Clan, the Ice Clan compromised with the Nine Kings Sect at that time in order to continue its race. Relying on the underground relationship between the Nine Kings Sect and the Holy See, he got a hidden shelter.
Over the years, the Ice King has changed several times, but he has always been the most stable king of the Nine Kings Sect. And the Ice Clan has been the most loyal supporter of the Nine Kings Sect after several turns.
The research conducted by the Ice Race has always been on the various xenomorphs in cold regions, or abilities related to low temperatures, and they are experts in the concept of "cold" that humans cannot match.
But today, the peaceful life that the Ice Clan had been hiding for hundreds of years had been shattered.
Suddenly an alarm sounded in the facility, and all the Ice Clan people were on alert, and both the researchers and porters immediately drew their weapons. Unlike human beings with a large population and a clear division of labor, the Ice Clan, who has gone through many existential crises, has long formed the custom that all people are soldiers and all people are fighting.
"This is the Ice King's stronghold you are talking about?" A question came from the doorway, and the Ice Clan raised their weapons and aimed them at the tunnel.
"This is it, how dare I lie to you?" Another voice rang out.
"This voice ......," the eldest of the Ice Clan frowned.
I saw an ordinary-looking young man walk out of the tunnel, and beside him, there was a smoke-like human figure.
"It's the Cloud King!" All the Ice Clan people recognized this smoke monster, but the older Ice King set his eyes on the young man next to him.
"This guy is ......" The Ice King's face showed consternation, if it weren't for the Ice Clan's lack of sweat glands, his cold sweat probably wouldn't be able to stop.
"This is the Ice King's stronghold you are talking about?" Shi Tao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the room full of ice-blue skinned aliens.
"That's right, the person you're looking for must be hiding here!" The smoky Cloud King said.
"Cloud King, what are you doing!" A young man from the Ice Clan walked out: "The Heavenly King has already made a decision about the previous matter, and you are coming to us for trouble again?!" ”
"Who's looking for your trouble!" King Yun snorted coldly: "This Mr. Shi is my friend, one of his friends was locked up by you, I am helping him to uphold justice!" ”
"You're spewing blood!" The Ice Clan said, "We never allow outsiders to enter here! ”
King Yun didn't care what the Ice Clan people said, he just pouted Shi Tao on the side: "Boss Shi, don't listen to their quibbles, search the bottom of the sky first, even if you don't have it, you will be transferred by them, I'll take you to the next place to find it!" ”
Shi Tao looked at the Ice Clan, then at the Cloud King, and sighed, "Are you a racist who puts humans first?" ”
King Yun was stunned: "Why do you say that?" ”
Shi Tao shook his head with a smile, there was a touch of murder in his eyes, and King Yun suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his heart was not good, so he turned into a cloud of smoke and immediately fled outside.
Who knew that Shi Tao shook his hand, and an internal force was stimulated, delicate and subtle, directly dispersed into tens of millions of sharp arrows, catching up with the thousands of wisps of smoke and dust, exploding instantly, and breaking at the same time.
As if ignited dust, the illusory body of the Cloud King turned into a ball of fire and was completely annihilated.
This shocking hand really scared many Ice Clan people.
Among the nine kings, there are also distant relatives. Although the Ice Clan has no quarrel with the world, King Yun has always seen that the Ice Clan is not happy, and he has come to find fault and instigate him twice in three days. As Shi Tao said, he is an extreme racist, in his opinion, the existence of the Ice Clan makes him feel physically uncomfortable, as long as he can get rid of these blue ghosts, he will not hesitate to use any means, including channeling Shi Tao's hatred.
Therefore, the Ice Clan is no stranger to this Cloud King at all, especially his ability, this ethereal ability, makes him very difficult to handle, and is an enemy that makes everyone a headache.
However, this is the Cloud King, who is known as invincible, but he was wiped out by this young man with a wave of his hand?!
What the hell is this monster?!
The Ice Clan people panicked a little, and the hand holding the gun trembled slightly. At this time, the elder of the Ice Clan, the contemporary Ice King, came out of the crowd and raised his hand to point directly at his clansmen: "Everyone put down their weapons!" ”
"Father!" The young man who had confronted the Cloud King before said nervously: "Do you know this person, he can kill the Cloud King, it's too dangerous......
"Weapons don't make sense to him!" The Ice King shook his head: "If he has murderous intentions, today will be the day when our race will become extinct...... Am I right, don't break King Kong? ”
The last sentence was said to Shi Tao. Shi Tao smiled slightly: "I heard that the elders of the Ice Clan can pass on memories and knowledge from generation to generation, it seems that it really lives up to its reputation." ”
The Ice King nodded: "We should have met for the first time, but in the memories I inherited from my ancestors, you have appeared in the history of the Ice Clan more than once. Among them, some appear as friends, and some appear as enemies. I still have in my mind the feeling that more than 2,000 years ago, the Frost Castle was breached, and the Lord of Plunder was killed by you......"
"Back then, it was also to save people, and I was impulsive...... I've been dealing with you for a long time, and I know you a little bit......" Shi Tao waved his hand: "Since you know me, then you should know who can better ensure the safety of your clan between me and the Nine Kings Sect, and who is more worthy of your allegiance!" Come on, tell me what I want to know ......"
