Chapter 471: Chapter 367: The Destructive Demons (5th Update)

The entire frozen Eastern World has completely melted and collapsed. Everything that met the eye was white and boundless; the entire East had miraculously transformed into a vast ocean. Above this roaring ocean, one could occasionally see icebergs sinking into the sea. Countless drifting ice floes floated along with the waves, slowly melting.

The world that was once covered in snow and ice had disappeared. The majestic Skeleton Ice City had also vanished. At least, with Su Yu’s current vision, he could not see that far. He could only see the horizon where the sea met the sky. The towering mountains of the Demon Beast Mountain Range obstructed this ocean. Su Yu looked at the waves crashing not far away, his heart remained unsettled for a long time.

"Ada..." Su Yu quickly looked at Ada, only to see her body convulsing, completely drenched with cold sweat.

Ada had exhausted all her strength in their previous long-distance run. Now, she was so fatigued that she couldn’t even open her eyes.

At the moment, in the distance to the east, neither the former Ice City was visible, nor could the terrifying roar of the huge beast be heard anymore. Su Yu’s heart was slightly calmer, so he stayed here to let Ada rest for a little while. He patted his swollen water bag, which contained the "Water of the Netherworld", their objective for this mission.

What reassured Su Yu was that despite the transformation of the snowy world into an ocean, there didn’t seem to be any significant reactions. Nor had any horrific entities emerged from his imagination to suddenly chase and kill them.

"Thank goodness Ada ran fast... Besides, the Netherworld skull is inside Ada. The others cannot sense the aura of the Netherworld skull. So even if they want to find us... it won’t be easy..." Su Yu silently comforted himself. No matter what, the damage had been done. They had already brought the Netherworld skull here. Regretting now was useless and Su Yu wasn’t someone who easily regretted his actions.

After quite a while, Ada finally regained a bit of her strength. Her body began to shrink and with a "pop", she coughed out a golden skull. This was followed by a "splat". She bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The blood that belonged to Ada stained the golden skull. Immediately, the golden color of the skull started to fade and quickly turned pitch-black. It looked like an ordinary skull that had been burnt to charcoal, plain and unremarkable.

"All right... with Ada’s blood serving as a barrier... unless the God of Netherworld reawakens... no one... will be able to sense... the Netherworld skull anymore..." Ada gasped for air, transformed back into her tiny form. Su Yu quickly picked her up and looked carefully at the black Netherworld skull. Honestly, if he hadn’t witnessed its power beforehand, he never would have believed that this simple charcoal-like skull was the skull of a god.

Ada squinted her eyes and looked at the Eastern World that had turned into an ocean, weakly muttered, "Let’s go back," then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Su Yu knew she was too exhausted, and after spitting out fresh blood, her energy expenditure was too large. He carefully put her inside his beast-skin shirt. Then he beckoned to Dido, wrapped the skull with cloth, and tied it tightly onto his beast-skin belt. After taking a deep look at the ocean behind them, he ran towards the west of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Dido, having experienced the terrifying scene just now, had lost a lot of its energy and obediently followed behind Su Yu, its panting significantly reduced.

Su Yu could somewhat remember the path they had taken. At this moment, he identified the direction as west and moved through the vast Demon Beast Mountain Range.

It wasn’t until the third day that Ada fully recovered. Seeing that she had regained her strength, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He ruffled her head with affection, feeling grateful for her desperate actions this time. Otherwise, based on their speed, they would not have escaped being swallowed by the ocean.

"Ada, do you have any clues about the Ice City?" asked Su Yu, looking at Ada who had again crawled onto his shoulder while he was maneuvering through the towering trees and engaging Dido in conversation.

Su Yu was extremely curious about the world of snow and ice and the earth-shattering changes that had taken place there. The numerous ice sculptures, the Mammoths that had disappeared thousands of years ago and were frozen in place, and the astonishingly beautiful woman sitting on the ice sculpture throne. Now that he thought about it, if it wasn’t for the Netherworld skull still hanging around his waist, Su Yu would almost have believed that it was all a scene from a dream.

Ada contemplated for a while before saying slowly, "While I was sleeping these two days, I dreamt of many fragments of memories. Do you still remember the Slavic letters we saw on the ice wall when we first arrived at the Ice City? And... the Eskimo igloos?"

"Yes, I remember. You’ve suspected that Ice City might be a masterpiece left over by the Eskimos who lived in this world? Are those ice sculptures related to the Eskimos?"

Ada thought for a moment before saying, "Su Yu, actually, I was thinking about the legend of the Eskimos... It’s completely different from the information in your world. What you call Eskimos... The correct term should be ’Eskimo Demons’, as in devils, not the Eskimos you refer to."

Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly, "Eskimo Demons? Are you speaking of Eskimo’s demons?"

"Yes, Eskimo, in a certain evil language, also includes the meaning of destruction. So, Eskimo Demons actually means demons capable of bringing destruction," Ada nodded, her face serious.

Su Yu said, "So, are you implying that Ice City is indeed the masterpiece of Eskimo Demons? Could those humans transformed into icy sculptures, and those ancient beasts that vanished tens of thousands of years ago, belong to the Eskimo Demon Race? No, it does not match..."

All of a sudden, Su Yu shook his head slightly, "Ada, have you noticed the arrangement of those ice sculptures? It’s not that they were unintentionally transformed into ice sculptures... it rather looks like... those humans and beasts intentionally gathered around that woman sitting on the throne. More significantly, their standing positions... were quite peculiar, as if it was done on purpose before they got encased within the ice."

Ada let out an agreeing hum before saying, "Those humans in the ice sculptures are not Eskimo Demons. From fragments of my memory, what I know is, Eskimo Demons... possess gigantic bodies as large as mountains. Do you know why they are called demons? Because...they are a tribe of giants with the bloodline of Demon Divine Beasts. But, those humans encased within the ice sculptures have bodies similar to yours. Clearly, they are not those evil demons. This is what confuses me."

Su Yu looked puzzled. The Eskimo Demons are a tribe of giants with the bloodline of Demon Divine Beasts? No wonder they are called demons. Nonetheless, if those ice sculptures are unrelated to Eskimo Demons, then what is the purpose of Ice City? Who was this sealing magic targeting? Why were the messages and language of the Eskimo Demons engraved on the Ice Wall? Moreover, what are the origins of the humans in the ice sculptures? Also, the ancient beasts like the mammoths and saber-toothed tigers which have been extinct for thousands of years.

Ada’s words only made Su Yu even more curious, not less. Ada herself was also puzzled about many things. She took a deep breath and said: "I also do not know the origin of the humans in the ice sculptures. However, I can confirm that this has something to do with the Eskimo Demons."

"Eskimo Demons ..." Su Yu contemplated. He glances back towards the eastern horizons. He remembered the real-world myths about the Eskimos. They were said to come from the ancient world in the east and migrated all over the world, leaving traces of their civilization. The ancient world in the east...

Suddenly, Su Yu thought about the location of Ice City - which was also in the east - and the legend of the Eskimos coming from the Ancient Eastern World. Both of them are associated with the east... could there be a correlation between the two?

Similarly, to Ada, Su Yu had a hunch, but couldn’t fathom the actual details. Finally, he gave up trying to understand the mysteries behind Ice City and the humans frozen within. He then turned his thoughts to the Skull of Huang Quan.

"Ada, we have obtained the Skull of Huang Quan. However, it seems like we have also stirred up a huge disaster. Besides being able to produce the Water of the Netherworld, does this skull have any other uses? Or rather, how should we use it?"

Ada replied, "To create the Water of the Netherworld from the skull, I believe a special sealing method was used. However, if you want to produce more of the Water of the Netherworld, there isn’t anything I can do."

Su Yu was taken aback, then he gently slapped the large water bag on his back. Fortunately, he had obtained some water from Netherworld in the past. Otherwise, even with the Skull of Huang Quan, he wouldn’t be able to acquire the water.

Seeing Su Yu’s reaction, Ada giggled, "However, it really seems like it was fate. I’m not sure if you, Su Yu, would have decided to take the skull. Unexpectedly, because of Didi’s curiosity, she accidentally knocked over the skull. As a result ... we had no choice but to take it. Isn’t it fate that led you to obtain the Skull of Huang Quan?"

Su Yu let out a bitter smile, "We still don’t know how big of a disaster we’ve created. I just hope if there is any trouble... it will only affect me alone and will not extend to... Freedom Village and everyone else...."

"By the way, Ada, you still need to tell me about the use of the Skull of Huang Quan. You’re not going to say... that I can’t use it at all, right? Otherwise, this would be a big loss," Su Yu teased lightly, looking at Ada.

Ada also shared a smile with him before saying, "Su Yu, do you know what a God is?"

Su Yu was stunned before responding, "Speaking of the concept of a God, in the real world, it is divided into several concepts." (To be continued. If you want to find out what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com for more Chapters, support the author, support legal reading!)
