Chapter 278: Extremely Cold Land
Over the iceberg, through the fog.
The journey to the country of Balu was accompanied only by cold winds.
Fortunately, Ye Ling had eaten the fragments of the Abyss Stone Lotus a few years ago, and he had the ability to be immune to severe cold.
Otherwise, he will be turned into an ice sculpture before he reaches his destination.
The golden-winged roc is majestic, protected by golden wings, flying proudly in the wind, fearless of the cold.
Hong Yuanguo's Northwest Aoxue City is also a very cold place.
But if you compare it with the country of Baru, it is really a bit of a small thing.
The country of Balu, located in the northernmost part of the world, is surrounded by layers of glaciers.
The inhabitants are a strange group of gray-skinned, rock-like people.
Moreover, in addition to the human race, there is also a kind of frost giant whose body is comparable to a giant beast, and for 10,000 years, it has lived next to them.
These two ethnic groups never fight each other, but rather a cooperative relationship.
According to Ye Ling's original idea, the most unlikely demon in this world to attack should be the Balu Kingdom.
After all, the Frost Giants themselves are giant warriors who are brave and good at fighting, not to mention ordinary demons, even if they are large demons that ordinary people can hardly deal with, under the fists of the giants, they are just a small ant.
Who would have thought that such a powerful country would fall into the mudflats first?
If you want to blame the demons for being too cunning and unable to fight the giants by force, they use stratagem and corrupt the ice giant Beamon with evil energy.
This being, who is far stronger than ordinary giants, is the gatekeeper between the living and the dead in the Balu Nation.
Whether it is the Baru people or the frost giants, their lifespans are far longer than those of other races.
It takes 60 years for a person in the country of Balu to go through 60 years from childhood to adulthood, and their prime of life is even longer, a full 200 years, before they gradually grow old.
It seems that the ice has frozen their years, and the Balu people, who have a long life, are extremely interested in death.
Balu, the gatekeeper of the underworld, naturally became their god, or rather, the voice between mortals and gods.
The underworld he guarded was called: Heaheim, which means the realm of the dead.
All in all, for now, the giant Beamon, revered by the locals, has become a mad vandal, wandering aimlessly, destroying the cities and villages it sees.
What's even more terrifying is that with his madness, the passage between the underworld and the world of the living is also completely closed.
The people of that realm, the dead cannot enter the underworld. Reincarnated people cannot be resurrected.
If this continues, although the giants can work together to resist the ravages of Beamon, as people continue to die and reincarnation is suspended, their country will soon die out completely.
There are two main reasons for the rescue of the Baru Kingdom.
First, this gatekeeper of the underworld holds the power of the dead, and if he is not eliminated as soon as possible, he will become more and more powerful, and even Ye Ling will not be able to deal with it.
Second, in the Hongyuan Empire, there were several scholars from the Balu Kingdom.
They were scholars who had been invited to study the ruins of the South China Sea, from the Baru Race to the Giants.
After all, in this world, the country of Balu is the only country that still retains the giant race.
Many of the cultural relics and texts in the ruins of the South China Sea can only be understood by giants.
The ruins of the South China Sea contain too many mysterious treasures from the primeval period, and they are all powerful weapons against evil spirits.
Helping the country of Balu to avoid the disaster is also for his own country's research on the ruins of the South China Sea to continue smoothly.
In the final analysis, the struggle or assistance between countries is indeed from the perspective of interests.
Perched atop the Roc, the most extreme land on the planet, shrouded in months of night.
Blue, purple, or green aurora shone and changed in the sky farther than Ye Ling.
In the snow and ice, it is like a dream.
Just a few thousand miles away from the mainland of the Balu Kingdom, Ye Ling saw a giant beast that fell to the ground on the ice field under the night in the distance.
This land is inaccessible, and the creatures that live here are much larger than anywhere else.
On the ground, there was a dead long-necked snake dragon.
They are a dragon that lives beneath the surface of the frosty sea, and because they have grown walking feet, they are also active on land.
This behemoth, a hundred-foot-long beast, twisted its neck at an incredible angle.
"Jinpeng, land next to that giant beast. ”
Just as Ye Ling ordered Jin Peng to fall, he looked down at the ground around the giant beast.
On top of the snow, there were several huge footprints, crushing the snow, stones, and ice on the ground, and walking towards the east.
The cold climate made it impossible for Ye Ling to judge the time of death of this long-necked snake dragon.
Its neck was twisted alive, and there was not the slightest scar in other places, indicating that when it was time to die, there was no time to struggle.
Although the long-necked snake dragon is not the overlord of the sea, its size is enough to scare off most creatures.
Being able to twist its neck at once means that it is a very powerful and huge existence that kills it.
What made Ye Ling even more puzzled was that this huge footprint was facing the east, slightly south.
The country of Balu was in the northwest, and the murderer of the giraffe was apparently coming from that direction, pointing to the southeast.
Ye Ling came from Nankuizhou, and the direction of the route of this footprint was not consistent.
But if he wants to rush back to the Hongyuan Empire at this time, he must also fly in the southeast direction......
So......
"Something is wrong!"
Ye Ling turned over and jumped onto Dapeng and said loudly to it: "Follow this footprint, fly to the southeast!"
Jin Peng screamed and immediately took off into the air.
No matter what this thing that killed the giraffe dragon was, as long as it was a crisis to the Hongyuan Empire, he couldn't let it go.
After about an hour of flight, they left the ice field again and returned to the endless sea.
"There are corpses again!"
In the dark of night, there is a dark red sea on the sea.
The Golden Wings spiritually lowered their altitude slightly.
The carcass in the sea this time was a mouthfish.
That is, the last time Ye Ling went out to sea to look for the ruins of the South China Sea, the giant sea beast that opened its mouth and demonstrated towards them.
Things are getting worse and worse, this giant sea beast is an existence that even the people of the upper realm are afraid of.
But the corpses in the sea died very miserably.
One of its huge mouths seems to have been torn apart.
Jin Peng's whereabouts, his eyes narrowed.
This time, Ye Ling found that in addition to the wounds that were torn open alive, there were also traces of knives and axes on the corpse of the giant mouth fish.
What weapon can inflict such a huge wound?
"Immortal Giant Axe......" Ye Ling muttered.
