Chapter 67: Casting an Ice Diagram

  "Don't kill me! I have treasures to offer the two heroes!" The bearded leader of the exploration team was caught by Su Dong and held in his hand, with a knife raised high, ready to strike. He was so scared that his face turned pale, and he loudly begged for mercy from Su Dong. This guy had been completely intimidated by Su Dong and Hui Yu's methods, not to mention Su Dong's brutal martial arts skills, which were known as the most violent in the world, and his spiritual power, which could kill with a single strike, leaving no corpse behind.

  Huiyu old man is a spiritual beast clan, although the means can't keep up with Su Dong, it's also quite cruel, more than 20 people were killed by them like cutting vegetables, without even blinking their eyes.

  "If you really have something incredibly valuable, I might consider sparing your life." Su Dong used the blood-stained broken sword to slash a line on his face and said in a low voice.

  "There's something incredible in my possession! It was exchanged with our lives on the line! It's called the Ice and Snow Picture! Very mysterious, I secretly hid it from my subordinates, no one else knows. If I give you the Ice and Snow Picture, will you let me go?"

  Su Dong nodded slightly and said: "Alright, I'll spare your life."

  The big-bearded man hastily stretched out his hand and carefully took out a delicate metal box from his bosom, handing it over to Su Dong.

  Snap

  Su Dong let go, took the box to one side to study it, and the big bearded man got up and rushed towards Su Dong and Hui Yu, knocking his head on the ground, muttering words of gratitude for sparing his life.

  Huiyu furrowed his brow, curiously asking: "Youngster, you really want to let him off? This doesn't seem like your style?"

  Su Dong didn't even lift his head and said lightly: "I did say I wouldn't kill him, but you never said that."

  Huiyu was taken aback for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh. "You little scoundrel, you're really too cunning!"

  Pfft~

  The big beard was slapped into mush by a grey feather.

  ……

  "What's this Ice Figure? Let me see, what's so interesting about it?" Gray Feather came to Su Dong's side after killing the big bearded man, asking curiously.

  Su Dong opened the round box and took out the deerskin scroll inside. He then handed the empty box to Hui Yu.

  Hui Yu took a closer look and suddenly changed his expression, exclaiming in surprise: "Indeed it's something good! Look at the emblem on this box, it's the mark of the Sacred Family! This thing must have come from the other side of the Wall of Gods! Something from the Divine Realm!"

  At the same time, Su Dong also opened the deerskin scroll, and as a result, it was yellowish all over, with nothing on it, and it was empty!

  "This is terrible! I've been cheated!" Su Dong said with regret.

  Hui Ye glanced at him and said with a mixture of surprise and delight, "I told you this guy wouldn't have any good stuff from the Divine Realm. Even if he did, it's probably been sold off already. This box is pretty valuable though, so I guess we've got some gains."

  Su Dong looked at it again and again, and found that although this piece of deerskin had no words on it, it had a pattern, the same as the one on the box, which was a solitary ice-capped mountain range, very exquisite.

  Ash Feather returned the box to Su Dong, saying: "Many epochs ago, those guys behind the Wall of Gods went to the Extreme North Wasteland to wage a divine war, with Snow Demon as their target. Unfortunately, they lost the divine war and many divine warriors died in the wasteland."

  "These explorers rely on the summer, when the snow demons do not come out, to search for the treasures left behind by the gods' warriors in the wasteland. The box you're holding should belong to the noble class of the divine realm, because only nobles have family crests."

  Su Dong nodded, he had also heard Zhou Xing mention it before.

  Put that piece of blank deerskin into the box and return it to the empty star ring. Su Dong said to Hui Yu, "Let's go, we're going to Dinghai Martial Arts Hall to meet Hai Yanwang!"

  ……

  Flying is indeed a very enjoyable thing, Su Dong sat on Hui Yu's back, speeding through the clouds.

  Grey Wing is indeed the Eagle King, able to fly very high, even higher than the white clouds in the sky. Su Dong felt as if he was sitting on a magic carpet, sliding along the sea of clouds, it's so thrilling!

  "We're here!"

  Huiyu had superhuman vision, and through the clouds he saw the Dinghai Martial Arts Hall, so he began to descend, descending from high altitude to the foot of a mountain.

  The dense forest, the distant sound of sea waves crashing against the shore, Grey Feather pointed to a massive building built on the mountain top and said: "This is Dinghai Martial Arts Academy, Hai Yanwang's lair!"

  "Legend has it that the name of Dingwen Country originated from a precious tripod (ding) unearthed on this land. The founders of the two major martial arts schools, Dinghai and Dingfeng, gained enlightenment about the ultimate way of martial arts after reading the inscriptions on the tripod, thus becoming top masters of their time and establishing their own schools."

  Su Dong was taken aback for a moment, and curiously asked: "Is there such a thing? And where is the treasure tripod now? What are the words on the tripod?"

  Huiyu shook his head and said: "The years are long gone, and it's already unknown where they went, but there may be a copy hidden in the Dinghai Martial Arts Hall."

  At this moment, the sky was about to turn dark. The old man with gray feathers had sharp eyes and pointed at the mountain, saying: "Huh? Someone is sneaking down from there."

  Su Dong looked around in accordance with the momentum, but saw nothing.

  Huiyu stroked his chin and said in a low voice, "This person is very suspicious, with a ghostly appearance. He's coming from the direction of the flat road, but he deliberately sneaked to the seaside. Let's go take a look."

  Under the cover of night, Su Dong and Hui Yu circled around from the forest to the coast, then approached along the cliff.

  Dinghai Wuguan was built on a mountain, with a forest in front and a cliff over a thousand meters high behind. The coastline was lined with huge reefs, which were very slippery to walk on. Su Dong and Hui Yu had to be extra careful, after all, it was already nighttime.

  From a distance, they saw someone pouring something into the sea. In the dark of night, Su Dong couldn't see clearly, but Hui Yu was shocked, his face changed, and he whispered to Su Dong: "This person is throwing away human bones! I don't know what reason, these bones are all blackened! It looks like a sign of poisoning."

  Su Dong was taken aback. In Qi Men's eyes, blackening of the bones didn't necessarily mean poisoning; it could also be due to an invasion by dark creatures!

  "Take him down!" Su Dong whispered in Hui Yu's ear.

  Huiyu nodded and darted out along the mountain wall like a gecko, his hands growing sharp reverse spines that resembled eagle claws, allowing him to scale walls and traverse rooftops!

  Whoosh!

  Kuroba's movements were swift and precise, approaching the person after jumping off from the mountain wall, drawing a parabola in the dark night, and then accurately hitting the back of that person.

  Then came a muffled sound, and the man was knocked unconscious by a slap from Hui Yu, falling to the ground.

  Su Dong arrived soon after, frowning and asking: "Where is the thing he threw away?"

  Huī yǔ sì xià kàn kan，cóng jiāo shí fèng xì zhōng tāo chū yī xiǎo kuài gǔ tou，ér hòu dì gěi Sū Dōng.

  This piece appears to be a human hand bone, already shattered and seemingly having been burned as well.

  It can't be seen clearly in the dark, and it's also been burned, the taste can't be distinguished either.

  Su Dong thought for a moment, then took out the large artifact, Stone Jade, from his bosom and placed the bone on top of it.

  Only then did this jade stone slowly light up like a light bulb!

  Snap!

  Su Dong slapped this piece of bone into the sea with a loud voice: "Wake him up for me! I want to ask him!"

  Her elegant demeanor was nowhere to be seen, Su Dong had a ferocious look on her face. Grey Feather asked curiously: "What did you see?"

  Su Dong gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still remember those villagers who were possessed by monsters?"

  Kiri nodded repeatedly. Humans who were parasitized by that dark creature completely lost their humanity, with red eyes, like demons. How could Kiri possibly forget?

  "This person who was burned and discarded has also been parasitized!" Su Dong said in a low voice in the dark of night.
