Chapter 2091 The Ice Caves’ Ancient Corpses
There was an endless snowy plain at the north of the Roth Empire.
It was covered in snow and ice all year round, and almost no life forms could be seen after they went deeper into the icy plain.
No one knew how far north one could go, because the temperature dropped as one went further north.
Moreover, there would also be snowstorms and hailstorms, so even a 10th-tier giant dragon couldn’t go through all those barriers easily. There were cases where a 10th-tier giant dragon got lost in it.
Just because of that, the snowy plain became a restricted area that all the races avoided.
Right now, at an ice cliff 800 km into the snow plain, Noah waved a piece of red cloth, guiding the purple-striped griffin in the sky to land.
Noah already went up as soon as the griffin landed, and asked shyly, “Boss Mag, did you bring any food?”
Mag looked at Noah, whose nose was red and eyebrows had icicles hanging from them, and smilingly took out a steaming mud case and a small soup pot.
Noah stared and gulped. “Wow, are they Buddha jumps over the wall and beggar’s chicken?!”
After staying in the ice plain for a few days, eating hard biscuits that were frozen solid and needed to thaw by the fire and sleeping by the fire at night, he was miserable.
Noah almost cried when he saw the piping hot Buddha jumps over the wall and beggar’s chicken.
With tears in his eyes, Noah bit into the beggar’s chicken, and said to Mag, “Boss Mag, you are no different than my parent!
are
“Don’t, please don’t. I don’t have a son like you. Amy will despise you.” Mag quickly rejected him, and looked at the entrance of the cave on the ice cliff.
“You guys have arrived, Boss Mag.” Merante quickly strode out of the cave.
“Yes. What’s the situation here?” Merante suddenly called him here, but Mag couldn’t see anything unusual here. “Come with me. I’ll explain as we walk.” Merante brought Mag and Irina into the cave.
“Grandpa, don’t you want to eat the beggar’s chicken and Buddha jumps over the wall before you work again?” Noah’s voice sounded behind them.
“You go ahead. I’m not hungry,” Merante casually answered before saying to Mag, “We found this ice cave this morning. The septaria oracle had a reaction, and we searched for a long time before we found this cave.”
Mag frowned as he said, “Josh was here?”
“We’re not certain, but this ice cave was very weird. You’ll know once you get in there.” Merante didn’t say much, and simply hastened his steps.
After going through a long icy route, the cave became spacious. A giant ice cave appeared, and they were in the middle of it.
Mag’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect there would be a cave under the ice.
Merante walked to the edge of the ice cliff and pointed downwards. “Look down.”
Mag and Irina looked down, and they turned solemn at the same time.
There was a huge ice surface below the cave, and on top of it were countless human-shaped and beast-shaped holes, as if someone had dug them out from the ice.
There were also some scattered bones and body parts in the holes. There were also recent bite marks
A creepy ambiance shrouded the cave. “This is?” Mag frowned, feeling a chill up his back.
Merante lamented, “I have once read an ancient book that recorded the snow plain in the north as an ancient battleground. Many races battled to their deaths here, and many bodies were left behind.
“These bodies were buried by the ice and snow, and many of them were preserved perfectly. People have been constantly finding ancient corpses in the snow plain, and many of them were mysterious corpses of unidentifiable races.
“If I’m not wrong, this should be one of the ancient battlefields, and many ancient corpses were buried here.”
“Where are the ancient corpses now?” Mag suddenly felt rather uneasy.
“They are missing. Judging from the marks left behind, it happened recently,” Merante gravely said. “They should’ve been taken under control.”
“There are remnants of the evil aura. It’s related to the devil,” Irina said.
She lifted her hand and released a beam of golden Holy Light. It reacted violently with a whiff of black evil aura left on the cliff surface.
Mag was silent for a while before saying to Merante, “Which means Josh might have controlled the ancient corpses here, and transformed them into his servants.” “Yes. If he had been simply absorbing the resentment here, there wouldn’t have been these holes and bitten bodies left behind here.” Merante nodded. “And I’m very familiar with the methods of controlling the corpses, but he’s using a more sophisticated method that is similar to enchantment.”
“But they were already dead for years. Only their bodies were preserved by the ice and snow. How could he enchant them?” Mag didn’t understand them.
“As long as the resentment exists, he is able to do it, but that is exactly the devil’s scary part.” Merante nodded slightly, and honestly said, “Even our Ghost Clan can do it through certain methods.”
Irina retracted her hand, and coldly said, “He didn’t absorb the resentment, but instead chose to control these bodies. What does Josh want to do?”
“When all the races on the Norland Continent decide to put aside their differences and join forces to deal with the devil, Josh will need to have stronger power and more helpers.” Mag looked at the densely packed corpses’ pits below with a complicated expression, and said, “These corpses will form a mighty undead army and follow him around to conquer the Norland Continent.”
“If that’s the case, I’m afraid there are many more such ice caverns in the northern snow plain. There are many more ancient corpses that died in battle that were buried underneath it,” Merante said gravely.
“Help! Grandpa, there are ghosts!”
Right then, a shrill sound rang out in the cave.
Noah carried the Buddha jumps over the wall, and dashed over with a chicken drumstick in his mouth. Sounds of dense footsteps followed in his wake.
At the same time, the ice walls around the cave suddenly exploded. Ancient corpses burst out from the ice walls, and rushed towards Mag and the rest.
Countless ancient corpses crawled out from underground. They roared as they crawled up along the ice walls. There were thousands of them.
Most of these ancient corpses looked weird. There were three-headed humanoid beasts, giant wooden spiders, giants that only had half of their heads left, monsters with green fur… They weren’t any of the races or species that existed now.
Their common characteristic was a red gleam glistening in their eyes as they charged at Mag crazily. “Seems like it’s a trap. He knew that we were coming right from the start.”
Mag pointed skywards, and the Tian Du sword shot into the walkway like a shadow. All the ancient corpses in the walkway were slaughtered.
“We need to leave this place. The terrain is disadvantageous to us.” Irina raised her magic caster’s staff, and the Holy Light burst out. The ancient corpses that rushed towards them were decimated.
However, these ancient corpses seemed to be endless. After the Holy Light destroyed one batch of them, many still crawled out from the ground and the walls, and they almost covered all the walls.
A teleportation talisman appeared in Irina’s hands, and lit up on her fingertips. A golden light flashed under their feet, but a black evil aura suddenly appeared and erased
it.
