C230 Snow Monster Legend
"Please take a seat." Hearing Ding Yi's words, the village chief did not speak directly. Instead, he gestured for Ding Yi to sit.
After that, the village chief looked to the old man and respectfully said, "Elder Ji, may I trouble you to make a pot of tea for this guest."
"Alright." Elder Ji nodded and left.
"What tea are you drinking!?" Isn't it better to warm your body with hot pot of wine? " The bearded man said casually.
Unexpectedly, the village chief frowned and glared at him. He coughed and said indifferently, "Old Hu, go to the kitchen and take care of the new wild hare."
"Alright, I'll go right now!" Upon hearing that there was a hare, Big Beard immediately beamed with joy.
After Big Beard left, the only ones left were Ding Yi, the village chief and the strong young man from before.
"You're not a local, are you?" Seeing that everyone had left, Ding Yi asked the Village Head.
Hearing Ding Yi's words, the village chief seemed to have expected it. He smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "My father is a local, but my mother is not. So I am a local, not really a local."
"I want to know, is your purpose for coming here also to hunt Snow Monster?" Without waiting for Ding Yi to speak, the Village Head immediately went straight to the point and asked Ding Yi.
His eyes were full of questions, but most of them were filled with anticipation. Others might not be able to see this, but Ding Yi was able to tell at a glance that there was anticipation in the other party's eyes.
The village chief seemed to want Ding Yi to admit that he was looking for the Snow Monster, but unfortunately, Ding Yi wasn't.
"I'm not here to hunt Snow Monster." Ding Yi shook his head, then asked with doubt in his eyes, "What is a Snow Monster?"
"You don't know what a Snow Monster is?" Hearing Ding Yi's words, the Village Head was stunned.
He had thought that Ding Yi might not be here to hunt Snow Monster, but he never thought that Ding Yi would not even know what Snow Monster were. This made him feel disappointed, but at the same time, he was also a bit suspicious.
"I don't know. I only heard about the Snow Monster after I came here." Ding Yi looked at the Village Head in doubt and continued to ask, "Did a team come before? Do you know where they went? "
"There's more than one team. Starting from the past two months, a group of people would pass by our village every so often, heading deeper into the Northern Realm. They are here to search for Snow Monster." Hearing Ding Yi's words, the village chief frowned and thought for a moment. Then he continued, "Every person who comes to Northern Realm wants to kill Snow Monster. You are an exception."
"What exactly is a Snow Monster?" Ding Yi frowned and asked.
Up till now, he still had not figured out what exactly these Snow Monster were. They were a type of wild beast from the Northern Realm? Or some mysterious species?
In Ding Yi's memory, he only remembered that there was a Snow Monster in Sky Mountain, but the confirmation afterwards was fake. He had never heard of any Snow Monster in this Northern Realm before.
"Snow Monster are just a type of mutated beast. They don't have to be any species, as long as they are mutated, they are all called Snow Monster!" "This time, before the village chief even opened his mouth, the strong young man had already answered," The Snow Monster s are powerful, they are many times stronger than normal beasts, and some are even as intelligent as humans. Hunting one of them can be exchanged with a large amount of food in the Freer City, and it will be enough to feed our village for a whole year.
Hearing his words, the village just frowned, but didn't scold him, only said to him: "Shuofeng, don't be rude."
"Don't interrupt when the adults are talking."
"Got it, Uncle Hee Ye." Hearing the words of the village head, this strong youngster called Shuofeng lowered his head in shame.
"It's fine." Ding Yi waved his hand and looked at the village called Hee Ye and asked, "A mutated wild beast? Has a lot of beasts mutated in the Northern Realm now? "
If it was said that a certain wild beast had mutated, then Ding Yi could understand. However, if it was said that many species had mutated, either the local ecological environment had been severely damaged or some unknown change had occurred.
This change made Ding Yi think of something that had been sealed for many years. His heart felt a bit heavy. If it was really what he had guessed, then things would be troublesome.
"What Shuofeng said is basically true. But I feel that those beasts don't seem to be mutated, but rather evolved!" Hee Ye looked at Ding Yi's eyes and said word by word.
"Evolution?" Hearing what Village Chief Hee Ye said, Ding Yi frowned and said in a puzzled manner, "What do you mean? I am willing to listen to the details."
"About seven or eight years ago, there was a huge avalanche at the deepest part of the Northern Realm. The Amada Plum Snow Mountain, one of the three great snow mountains, had turned into a bottomless pit overnight!" After speaking for so many years, Hee Ye took a deep breath, his face still carrying a look of shock, "The races that have lived there for generations have either died or fled, and that bottomless pit has also become a forbidden area deep in the Northern Realm!
"From then on, there was a legend of a Snow Monster. Some people said that a Snow Monster climbed out from the deep pit." Hee Ye looked solemnly at Ding Yi, and shook his head, "Two years ago, the traces of Snow Monster appeared in our place, but we are thousands of miles away from the Northern Realm, so it can't be that the Snow Monster crawled out of the deep pit, and then ran thousands of miles to come to us, right?"2
"It is indeed unlikely." Ding Yi nodded.
Listening to the chief of the Hee Ye Village, Ding Yi had already made a guess. Who would have thought that the Armadaberan Snowy Mountains would actually sink into the ground? This made his heart sink.
Others might not know what was at the bottom of the Armadabrum Snowy Mountain, but Ding Yi was very clear that if that thing escaped, it would be very difficult for the current society to fight it.
"I need to increase my strength as fast as possible, I need to condense my Aurous Core as soon as possible." Ding Yi had never been as eager to improve as he was today.
When he found out about the collapse of the snow mountain at Amada Brahma, he started to worry. Although he didn't know what the mutation and evolution of these beasts had to do with the collapse, he knew that once that thing ran away, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
He had to reach the Deity Stage as soon as possible, and that was the ultimate move in the field of martial arts, in order to have even the slightest bit of strength to resist.
"Village Chief, it's bad, it's bad! Those people are coming again!" At this moment, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran in and shouted with a terrified expression.
"What's going on?!" Village Head Hee Ye stood up abruptly and frowned, "Speak slowly, don't be anxious!"
"Those people are back again, and they said that if we can't catch the Snow Monster again, they'll let us hand over our territory!" The middle-aged man's face was pale as he pointed outside with a terrified expression, "They even caught Sister Hee Lan!"
