Chapter 221 Ice Wall
Chapter 221 Ice Wall
The Terror also faced a storm on the Sea of Evil the moment Mission 2 was solved.
The ship rocked violently in the giant waves, causing everyone inside the cabin to sway. Yan Xun and Gu Jia were also forced to stay inside the cabin temporarily.
Koren remained in a corner of the cabin, saying nothing more.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent, dizzying turbulence finally subsided. All the debris was no longer in their original positions, and Yan Xun and Gu Jia had some bruises from bumping into the cabin while trying to avoid it.
The head that was originally held in Koren's hand also rolled to other places in the storm.
Right now, he's firmly strapped to the bed frame.
Koren finally spoke again. He stood up and looked outside. "The ice wall should be here by now."
"It was the same last time."
He was referring to the fourth voyage.
Yan Xun and the others immediately left the cabin. The old crew members, like Coron, had become dead the moment Mission 2 was completed. Yan Xun even saw the "heretic" that Coron had thrown overboard. The man had probably been hiding in the kitchen all this time.
The players who died that night had only seen the true faces of the crew of the Terror Ship.
As they approached the deck, Yan Xun saw the bearded man who had been subdued by Will.
The bearded man saw Yan Xun and begged for help. Will looked at Yan Xun and the other man, along with Corinne walking behind them, and finally shook off the bearded man.
The crew members, some with heads missing or bodies mutilated, dragged themselves onto the deck with Yan Xun and the others.
Gawain and the others were already standing on the deck. When they saw Coron, he was initially on guard, but when he saw that the other party had no intention of attacking, he relaxed a little. He pointed to the huge ice wall that almost divided the world into two ends and said, "It seems that we have reached the ice wall."
Yan Xun looked around at the scene: floating ice, red whales, and ice walls—almost exactly the same scene as in his dream.
When they looked up, they could see a black outline inside the ice wall, but the thing was so huge that it looked more like the shadow of the ice wall itself.
“That’s the crack in the ice wall.” Koren stood beside Yan Xun, pointing to a small crack at the bottom of the ice wall. “Last time we tried to get through and obtain the blue gold, but we found that the ice wall was preventing us from entering.”
"The captain said that only living people were allowed to enter there, and we messed everything up."
While he spoke, the crew members, who were already in strange shapes, remained silent.
The captain's head was pulled out by Gawain, and the moment the captain saw the gap, he became excited, as if he had forgotten his current appearance, "Blue Gold!"
"I can feel it!"
"There's blue gold there!"
He urged Gawain, "Hurry up, we need to get the Blue Gold."
Gawain was getting impatient being bossed around by a head. He grabbed the head and shook it a few times, then asked, somewhat confused, "Where are you making that sound?"
The captain ignored his question and kept repeating "blue gold".
Yan Xun glanced at the people on the deck. "Where's Qin Ke?"
Gawain stopped shaking the captain's head. "He didn't come. I guess the Whale Whisperers spent some time on him."
Yan Xun turned to look at the Whale Speaker's room and noticed that Wen Yuan was very silent. He looked at him a few more times and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties when you destroyed the talisman?"
Wen Yuanzheng's expression stiffened when Yan Xun suddenly asked the question.
"No."
He managed a weak laugh. "I was just too surprised to see the ice wall."
Just as the amulet was being destroyed, the old man suddenly said, 'Do you think it's a coincidence that you were locked up in the storeroom?'
"You were definitely reported by Yan Xun."
Wen Yuanzheng didn't believe it. He retorted to the old man, saying that he had nothing to do that Yan Xun would report, and that he had absolutely no evidence.
The old man had figured out how Yan Xun reported him. He also understood that Yan Xun probably saw that Wen Yuan was about to destroy the amulet, which was why he had Ke Lun lock him in the storeroom first.
'Isn't it ready-made?' the old man sneered.
'Donkey meat sandwich religion.'
The old man said to Wen Yuanzheng, "Didn't you tell Yan Xun yourself?"
Just as Wen Yuan was about to refute, Yan Xun, who had no evidence, suddenly remembered the donkey meat sandwich that the other party had suddenly obtained, and he suddenly fell silent.
The old man pressed his advantage, saying, "How about we make a bet?"
'If you complete Quest 2 when you destroy the amulet, it means Yan Xun already knew the whole truth and was just waiting for you to benefit from it.'
'They knew about Blue Gold from the start, but said nothing, making a fool of you.'
This matter is indeed a thorn in Wen Yuanzheng's side.
He didn't agree to the old man's bet, but sure enough, not long after he destroyed the amulet, the system announced that Mission 2 was completed. Although they had also learned some clues through Yan Xun's sharing, since most of them were found by Yan Xun, the reward for Mission 2 could only be claimed by Yan Xun.
It's like the reward for discovering the heretics was taken by the bearded man.
'Wen Yuanzheng, you've worked so hard to get to this instance, you don't want Yan Xun to take your quest rewards, do you?'
After completing Task 2, the old man spoke to Wen Yuanzheng again.
'Now that things have come to this, I can tell you what blue gold is for.'
"This is a special energy formed from the blood of that thing inside the ice wall. It can resurrect the dead and grant people power approaching that of gods," the old man said to Wen Yuanzheng. "Don't you want to experience what it's like to be a god?"
Wen Yuanzheng harbored some doubts.
The old man even went so far as to say, "You can buy a lie detector at the mall; everything I'm saying is absolutely true."
Wen Yuanzheng was skeptical, but still used the prop.
The lie detector test showed that what the old man said was completely true.
'Wen Yuanzheng, the opportunity to become a god is right before your eyes. Are you really going to give it up?'
Yan Xun couldn't hear a word the old man said to Wen Yuanzheng, otherwise he would have said to Wen Yuanzheng, "Isn't this just a pyramid scheme?"
If becoming a god were that easy, would the one worshipped by the Angel Guild still go to such lengths to develop a following?
Will the Goddess Pu become a wandering ghost because she has no followers?
He sensed the evasiveness in Wen Yuanzheng's words, but also knew that this man was easily swayed by the old man, so he did not continue to ask questions.
"How about we go look for him?" Gao Wen shook the captain's head dismissively. "If Qin Ke can't handle it, we'll have to help him out."
Yan Xun thought to himself that since Qin Ke had taken the initiative to say that he would deal with the Whale Whisperers, he was probably very confident of success.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jia immediately tugged at Yan Xun's clothes.
Yan Xun: "?"
Gu Jia spoke, "Human-cat."
He was worried that being too obvious would expose his true intentions, so he could only use the human-cat metaphor as a hint.
Yan Xun instantly understood Gu Jia's meaning, "How did you find out?"
"The letter, the words look familiar."
