THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V1 #CH 84 ICE RIVER MYSTERY BLOODY
“Bai gege, is there something you are thinking about? It seems like your heart is on edge,” asked Yang Tzuyu from behind.
Heilong immediately turned around when he heard the voice of a girl from behind. “Tzuyu, since when are you here?”
“I just came and saw you standing alone on the roof therefore I decided to approach you,” replied Yang Tzuyu.
“I was thinking about where I should look for a suitable weapon spirit to repair my sword. Without a weapon spirit, this sword of mine is nothing more than an ordinary sword. Swords like this are not strong enough if used in a battle,” Heilong said.
Heilong then looked at Yang Tzuyu who was standing in front of him. This time Yang Tzuyu's appearance was a bit different.
Her long hair was allowed to unravel and she also wore a red shirt that was in harmony with her blushing red lips.
“You look so beautiful when you wear that red shirt,” Heilong said looking into Yang Tzuyu's eyes.
Yang Tzuyu directly lowered her head when she heard Heilong's words. He tried to hide his face that was turning red with embarrassment.
The red shirt that Yang Tzuyu was wearing right now was the one Heilong bought this afternoon as the two of them were walking back towards the inn.
“Let's sit down first, I'll tell you something.”
Yang Tzuyu immediately grabbed Heilong's right hand and invited him to sit on a chair on the roof.
The two of them sat facing each other then Yang Tzuyu took out a map. This map was a map of the Northern Continent.
Yang Tzuyu's hand then pointed at a small island far north. Although the island was separated by a river, it still belonged to the Northern Continent region.
“This island is called Green Snow Island. Residents around call this island by the name of Green Snow Island because on the island, the snow-covered area is only the area in the middle of the island. And on the edge of the island is growing many lush trees so that the island looks green on the outside and looks snowy in the middle.”
Yang Tzuyu's finger then moved to the river that became the boundary between the island and the Northern Continent.
“The small river that separates the Northern Continent and the island is called the Bloody Ice River,” Yang Tzuyu continued.
“Blooded ice river?! Why does the name of this river sound so creepy?” heilong asked curiously.
“That's because the icy water is as red as blood,” replied Yang Tzuyu.
“Is there anything that causes the water to be red like that?" heilong asked.
“According to the surrounding population, in the river lived a snow crocodile stealth that often preys on animals and residents who are around there. The crocodile dragged its prey into the middle of the river and preyed on it at the bottom of the river so that it made the color of the water red like blood,” replied Yang Tzuyu.
“The residents there have often reported to the Palace. As soon as it got a report from the residents, Emperor Xuan Wu directly asked his soldiers to capture and kill the Snow Crocodile. But when the Royal soldiers arrived at the river, the snow crocodile had disappeared without leaving a trace. The soldiers continued to comb the area around the bloody ice river even they set up tents and stayed around there for several months. But they never found the crocodile, ” replied Yang Tzuyu.
“It looks like there is a tunnel connecting the river of bloody ice with other places,” guess Heilong.
“I have the same thoughts. Because, around there is a very deep trough. Some people once tried to dive to the bottom of that trough but they never came back. Finally it is only a mystery about the river of ice-blooded that until now no one has managed to find the answer,” said Yang Tzuyu with a sigh.
“But our destination is not this river of bloody ice. We can pass through the detour even though it is a bit long, but I think this path is quite safe,” continued Yang Tzuyu.
“Where exactly are we going?” reply Heilong asked.
“Our destination is actually a mountain in the middle of Green Snow Island. This mountain is called White Taring Mountain. According to the information I got, at the foot of the mountain was a cave and inside the cave lived a five hundred year old Kirin Ice Beast. This beast has a nature that tends to rebel and is difficult to tame therefore he is not suitable to be made a Contract Beast for mounts. So I think he's more suited to being a weapon spirit. What do you think Bai gege?” ask Yang Tzuyu.
“I agree with you. This Ice Kirin has a very ferocious nature and I also already have the Beast as a mount. So I will make it into a weapon spirit from my sword if I manage to capture it. Can you give me more detailed information about this power of Kirin Ice?” heilong asked looking at Yang Tzuyu.
“According to the information I got, this power of Kirin Ice was equivalent to that of a Lapis King Emperor cultivator and he had an extremely strong ice element power. Perhaps it was he who caused the area in the middle of the island to become snowy. He also has very sharp claws and very long fangs. His white fangs are said to be a very hard and very rare material. If made a weapon then the weapon will be difficult to destroy, maybe because this is what the mountain is called White Taring Mountain,” explained Yang Tzuyu.
Heilong frowned and his right hand held his chin. He thought hard how to defeat Kirin Ice because the cultivation level he had right now, was far below the cultivation level that Kirin Ice had started.
“What's Bai gege? Aren't you interested in catching him?” yang Tzuyu asked seeing the strangeness in Heilong's attitude.
“I'm just not sure I can catch him because the power he has is almost on par with the power of Emperor White Bear I've encountered near the territory of the Snow Moon Sect.”
Heilong recalled the incident when Emperor White Bear attacked him. Luckily, Xue Xian Hou came to her aid.
“You don't need to worry, there's actually one more piece of additional information that I haven't said yet. And this information is paramount,” said Yang Tzuyu.
“What is it? Quickly tell me that information, don't make me curious,” Heilong said in a slightly commanding tone.
“Suddenly I forgot what I was going to say. It seems like my brain gets messed up if I get hungry again, maybe I'll be able to recall that Bai Gege made me a good meal. Hehe ..” Yang Tzuyu said with a small laugh.
“Alright, you wait here, I will go to the kitchen immediately and make you a very good meal,” Heilong said.
“But I want a different food menu. Food that has never been in this city and that can warm this cold atmosphere,” said Yang Tzuyu.
“Each princess, I will immediately make food according to your order,” replied Heilong a little joking and went straight to the kitchen.
