Chapter 990: Chapter 990 Ice Queen 1
The snowstorm blurred his vision, Chang Weicai shivered suddenly and quickly clutched the collar of his coat, then hunched over to survey the surrounding environnt—
He stood on a layer of ice.
A thick, endless layer of ice, where the remnants of sunken ships, frozen driftwood, broken masts, and corpses hidden in the deep waters could barely be seen…
Where was this place?
It was too cold…
Chang let out a breath and rubbed his hands, unable to distinguish any direction.
He stumbled forward a few steps and finally, amidst the raging blizzard, saw a massive shadow.
Chang Weicai walked straight towards that shadow, and as he drew closer, the outline grew clearer—it was a castle built of snow and ice.
Even having seen many unusual sights in gas, Chang Weicai couldn’t help but gasp in amazent at the sight of such a towering and majestic Ice Castle.
Chang Weicai exclaid, “Heavenly Immortal’s jade and treasures, scattering Snowflakes, fluttering like goose feathers!—”
A voice ca from a distance: “Is that old man crazy?”
Chang Weicai: “…”
Looking in the direction of the voice, he was not the only one in the blizzard; fuzzy figures were moving towards the castle as well.
Chang Weicai didn’t dare delay and hurriedly quickened his pace.
The north wind howled, the cold of the ice and snow bone-chilling; when he reached the entrance of the castle, three other people had just arrived not long before.
Everyone looked a bit ragged, eyelashes frosted with Snowflakes, hair coated with Ice Crystals, all shivering with pale faces from the cold.
No ti for greetings; the towering ice crystal doors of the castle slowly opened, as if actively welcoming the newly arrived guests.
As the door opened, two pieces of information erged in Chang Weicai’s mind:
[Mission: Retrieve the King’s sword.]
[Rule: No harming Sharkn.]
Similarly, the other three people received this ssage.
Clearly, their ga field was beyond that door.
Without much conversation, they all silently walked through the door, too cold to wait for a sheltered place to warm up, even though the castle itself was forged from ice.
Once inside the entrance, they found themselves in an extrely spacious circular hall.
In the middle of the hall was a round pool of water, the only area that wasn’t frozen, while everything else—straight columns, intricate dos, and the floor tiles beneath their feet—were all made of Ice Crystals!
The four of them walked up to the pool unanimously.
The surface was extrely still, not a ripple to disturb it, and looking down from above, it was bottomless.
A bearded man crouched down, dipped his hand into the pool’s water, and tasted it.
“It’s seawater,” said the bearded man solemnly. “This castle is built over the sea, and the sea water here should be able to lead outside.”
“Surely the ga won’t have us compete in the water, will it?” another slightly shorter man said. “In such a cold place, we’d freeze to death if we fell into the water!”
The bearded man stood up. “Anyway, let’s first look around to see if there is a sword here.”
“The sword is with ,” a woman’s voice suddenly resounded.
Everyone was startled!
Looking towards the source of the voice, at so point, a woman had appeared in a corner of the hall!
She was an unusually beautiful woman!
Her long hair was combed back into a high bun, with snow fox fur around her shoulders accentuating her snowy complexion with a cool touch, further down, a long white dress trailing on the ground, and the hem seed to be adorned with millions of tiny ice shards, which twinkled as she moved.
—The Ice Queen!
The na involuntarily erged in everyone’s minds.
The Ice Queen, from fairy tales, as beautiful as ice and snow, and as cold and heartless as well.
She held an ice crystal staff, slowly walking towards the intruders, her voice as cold as the air here:
“I have a Rose Garden, the roses have not blood for a long ti, whoever among you can make the roses bloom, I will give the sword to them.”
Everyone ca to a realization; the test was not a competition in the water, but rather a challenge to cultivate flowers.
But Chang Weicai felt puzzled, he thought the woman looked sowhat familiar…
