Chapter 175: A Conversation Which Was Not On The Same Page
Beiqi, Arctic Abyss.
A figure was approaching from a distance with a wooden staff in his hand. He slowly stepped into the world of ice and snow and his body was soon covered with heavy snow.
After learning that there was an inheritance in the Arctic Abyss from Murphy, Qi Ming made sufficient preparation and planned to explore the place to look for the hidden quest.
Qi Ming was different from Ao Jian. He had a steady desire to become stronger and had no edge at all. It was due to the fact that he was not simply doing it for the sake of becoming stronger, but his main goal for becoming stronger was to cultivate longevity. There were many hidden quests for cultivation in this game, thus he did not want to miss this opportunity.
Just like what Murphy said, it was very cold inside the Arctic Abyss. Bloody words had started to appear on his head as he explored deeper into it.
At this moment, Qi Ming waved his wand, a hideous evil ghost emerged from the ground and began to circle around him.
The stinging chill immediately subsided as the evil ghost had the ability to completely cut him off from the outside world.
Just as he wanted to go deeper, several figures suddenly appeared in front of him. The leading tall boy reached out and waved at him.
“Catch him!”
Several figures darted toward him at tremendous speed in an instant.
Feeling startled, Qi Ming quickly raised his wand to summon the ghost. However, they were moving too fast so he fell onto the ground before he could react.
“Eh! It’s not them, we got the wrong man,” after having a clear look at Qi Ming, the leading boy scratched his head, looking very embarrassed.
“It’s all your fault!” the boy next to him raised his fist and smashed into his face.
“Bang!”
The gang fight broke out, the ground was shaking and the snow was drifting around them.
Qi Ming slowly got up and dusted off his clothes. He stared at the teenagers from the Ice Snow Clan who were fighting together, looking rather perplexed.
At first, he thought it was a surprise attack, but it appeared to be otherwise. It was a private dispute between themselves and he just accidentally got involved.
After analyzing those teenagers from the Ice Snow Clan, Qi Ming’s face took on a look of surprise. He quickly walked toward the interior of the Arctic Abyss after some consideration.
I can’t afford to mess with these teenagers.
However, another silhouette landed in front of Qi Ming before he could even take a few steps. It was none other than the Lord of the Arctic Abyss, Frozen.
He reached out and grabbed Qi Ming’s shoulder, and then his body floated up in the air. All Qi Ming could feel was that the vision before his eyes began to blur. When he finally stood firmly on the ground again, he found himself in front of an ice crystal cliff. There were many ice sculptures of creatures on the cliff.
“Foreigner, you have entered the forbidden area of the Ice Snow Clan, how do you wish to die!?”
Qi Ming was in utter confusion.
Looking at the message about the forbidden area of the Ice Snow Clan on the map, Qi Ming was somehow baffled. Aren’t you the one who brought me here?
However, after analyzing Frozen’s menu, Qi Ming could not help but be stunned on the spot. Never had he imagined that the boy in front of him was a horrifying existence in the Ghost Emperor Realm.
“Tell me, how do you wish to die!?” Frozen looked proudly at Qi Ming, his body hovering in the air.
“Aren’t… aren’t you the one who brought me here?” Qi Ming whispered.
“Shut up, you shameless guy. How dare you step into the forbidden area of the Ice Snow Clan without permission, violate the regulations of our clan and slander me.”
Qi Ming was speechless.
You are amazing, everything you said is right! Qi Ming suddenly had no intention to explain.
“Although you violated the taboos of our Ice Snow Clan, I can spare your life. But first, you have to answer some questions,” Frozen voiced out again.
Qi Ming looked up at Frozen, suddenly feeling tired. Just say if you want to ask a question, why do you want to make it so scary? I’m not even afraid of death.
“Please ask, Clan Leader Frozen!”
Frozen thought Qi Ming had compromised, he nodded his head, looking pleased with himself.
“Let me ask you, who is the current King of Beiqi?”
He had asked Murphy and Little Pomelo about this before, but they told him that it was Lu Yan, which caused Frozen to think that the King of Beiqi was dead. He almost made a big mistake because of that, so he wanted to make it clear this time.
“The King of Beiqi? The King of Beiqi is the King of Beiqi! I don’t know his surname or his given name.”
After all, he had never visited Tong Gua. He was just like most of the players who had no idea that Lu Yan was the current King of Beiqi.
“You don’t know? Are you not from the Land of Beiqi?” Frozen looked seemingly astonished.
“I’m a member of the Beiqi Army, but I really don’t know the name of the King of Beiqi.”
“Okay, then let me ask you, do you know a person named North Sea? Where exactly is he in Beiqi right now?”
“North Sea? I’ve never heard of him,” Qi Ming shook his head again.
“How could it be, he is the strongest in all of Beiqi. How is it possible that you’ve never heard of him?”
Thinking of the arrogant man who managed to suppress all their Beiqi forces at once, and reigned supremacy as the first King of Beiqi with a superior attitude, Frozen could not help trembling in his heart.
“It’s impossible. The strongest in Beiqi are the ghost kings such as Rock and Hydra, aren’t they?” Qi Ming was shocked as well. Why do I have a feeling that the two of us are not on the same page at all?
“What shit are Rock or Hydra… have you really never heard of North Sea?
Frozen was flustered and exasperated as he could not perceive what the King of Beiqi was scheming. Why did his legend completely disappear from the Land of Beiqi? What’s even stranger is that he’s clearly still alive, but why is he no longer the King of Beiqi?
“I’ve truly never heard of this person,” Qi Ming looked at Frozen with an odd look on his face.
“Impossible, that’s impossible. Oh right, tell me exactly how the current King of Beiqi became the king. I don’t believe that he has the strength to take over the position from my king!” claimed Frozen as he took on a ghastly expression.
“The current King of Beiqi is loved by the spirits of the Land of Beiqi. He stood high in popular demand and thus, naturally he has become the King of Beiqi,” Qi Ming told him the background content that appeared when they first entered the game.
“What a fool you are, since when is there a popular demand in Beiqi, all of them fight their way out!” Frozen rolled up his sleeves in anger, his intention to hit Qi Ming was clearly written on his face.
“What I’m saying is true, the current King of Beiqi fought against the Black Dragon King for the sake of the spirits in the Land of Beiqi. He gave up his life for righteousness, turned into a fireball and died together with the Black Dragon King. He saved all the lives of the living beings in Beiqi!” Qi Ming sighed as he recalled the shocking intro at the opening of the game.
Frozen’s eyes widened upon hearing this. Who the hell is the Black Dragon King? Giving up his life for righteousness? You think you’re telling a story to me, is that it?
Last time, what Murphy and Little Pomelo told him sounded somewhat incredible. This time, there was an even more unbelievable one. There was even a Black Dragon King now. Frozen had a feeling that his worldview would be overturned if he were to dwell on it.
As a result, he clenched his fists and raised Qi Ming with his right hand.
“I can’t stand you anymore. Consider me a loser if I don’t beat you until you’re screaming for help today!”
