“That’s right. After that, my mother noticed that my father coveted this mory crystal copy and he intended to use it as bait. She wanted my father to help her venture into the Turan Holy Mountain to prepare for the temple’s restart. Hence, she tampered with the mory crystal copy.”
Ice Storm said, “First, my mother used witchcraft to transfer all the sounds and images from the mory crystal to her own brain. Then, she erased the most critical parts in the mory crystal and placed it in a place that seed to be hidden. However, with my father’s ability, there had to be a way to steal it.
“After my father stole the mory crystal copy and left without saying goodbye, my mother raised by herself. When she taught all kinds of weird witchcraft, she also imprinted the sounds and images from the mory crystal copy into my brain.
“It’s hard for people who haven’t experienced it themselves to understand what it’s like.
“It’s as if... every night feels like a year. I will have a nightmare where I turn into a human soldier of the Holy Light faction from three thousand years ago. I will follow the main forces and sweep into the depths of the Turan Holy Mountain like a tidal wave. Then, like bubbles on the tide, I will be lost in the unpredictable spatial gaps and vortexes.
“Although the images and sounds stored in the mory crystals had beco mottled and blurred after three thousand years of erosion, the soldiers were still alive.
“However, when the soldiers were squeezed into at pies by the space gaps or torn apart by the space swirls until they turned into bone powder and blood mist, the crystal retained the bone-piercing pain, and I felt it all as a little girl!”
Ice Storm’s voice gradually beca low.
The corners of her mouth and eyes twitched in pain.
Her seemingly transparent pupils emitted a chill that was -100 degrees Celsius.
Not only were the surrounding shrubs and the ground covered in frost flowers, even ng Chao could not help but shiver.
Ice Storm was wrong.
If there was only one person in this world who could understand her feelings...
It would definitely be ng Chao.
Although ng Chao had never tried to forcibly compress the information in the mory crystal into his brain using witchcraft, in a sense, the Kindling had the sa effect as the crystal.
In fact, it was an upgraded version of the mory crystal.
When he unlocked the Kindling’s power, he had also clearly experienced the feelings of Dragon City’s people, who had nowhere to escape when the end of the world ca. They could only face destruction in despair.
It was as if he had died a thousand tis in a short span of ti.
It was really hard to imagine what kind of mother would let her child suffer such inhumane torture.
No wonder Ice Storm was like a statue that had been dug out from the bottom of an iceberg. Even the scorching sun at noon in sumr could not lt her soul at all. It had been frozen for many years.
ng Chao speculated that Ice Storm’s parents, the ruthless witches and orc adventurers, probably wanted to breed such a double-cursed hybrid. It was not just to challenge the Holy Light Temple’s authority.
Perhaps Ice Storm was also the “secret weapon” they used to explore the Holy Mountain Temple.
However, Ice Storm’s mother had not expected to die so early.
anwhile, Ice Storm’s father had apparently revised his plan and completely abandoned her after embracing “Jackal” Kanus.
In her previous life, she was buried in the long river of history.
It was like waves hitting the shore, creating bubbles that later disappeared.
And in this life?
Ice Storm realized that she had lost her composure.
She took a deep breath and hid her expression behind her hard ice shell again as she coldly said, “Forget it, these are all things of the past. Perhaps I should thank my parents. No matter what their original intentions were, the nightmares that I had day and night opened up my brain region and tempered my spirit power, allowing to use the Holy Light’s power and totem power simultaneously as a mixed-blood. That’s why I’ve been able to survive in this cruel world alone.
“In short, I know how to walk in the depths of the Holy Mountain, so I won’t be sucked into the spatial gaps and vortexes.
“But this isn’t enough.
“All the scenes in the mory crystal didn’t ntion what the next step should be after climbing to the peak of the Holy Mountain.
“The temple isn’t at the peak of the Holy Mountain.
“When the army of Holy Light from three thousand years ago finally reached the peak of the mountain after sacrificing countless lives and resources, all they saw was an empty peak. There was no temple, no large fireball remains, and there were no signs indicating where the temple, as well as the large fireball remains, were.
“They even dug three feet into the ground and dug dozens of holes that were as deep as a hundred arms. Even after they dug through the entire floating mountain range, they still could not find any mysterious hidden space.
“The army of Holy Light, which had lost many soldiers and run out of ammunition and food, had no choice but to retreat to the Land of Holy Light.
“Therefore, based on the clues that I know of, we can only reach the highest point of the Holy Mountain of Turan at most. There are reasons to believe that it is not the Holy Mountain’s true summit, which is described in countless ancient war epics.
“Speaking of which, my father, ‘Jackal’ Kanus, the Horn of Destruction, and Violent Blade should all be very clear about this issue. It is useless to just find the highest point of the Turan Holy Mountain.
“Yet, despite knowing this, they are still willing to spend so many resources and even gamble everything. This is enough to prove that ‘Jackal’ Kanus has found a new clue and knows how to complete the thrilling leap from the highest point of the Holy Mountain to its true summit!
“Then, the rest is up to you!”
Ice Storm’s gaze moved from ng Chao’s face to the Ancient Dream Saintess behind him. She was in a deep sleep, and her ugly face was still twitching.
ng Chao nodded and carried the Ancient Dream Saintess to a mandrake tree before he sat down.
He asked Ice Storm to create a few pieces of ice, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and placed them on the Ancient Dream Saintess’ forehead and neck. It was to cool down her brain and the blood that was being injected into her brain.
Then, he fed the Ancient Dream Saintess so secret dicine that he had mixed with honey.
Next, he gently massaged the Ancient Dream Saintess’ temples with his hands that vibrated at an extrely high speed. In the anti, he injected a few streams of gentle spirit power into the depths of her brain.
Thanks to him, the Ancient Dream Saintess’ furrowed brows loosened slightly.
The burning red spots on her face also faded a little.
ng Chao then leaned over and whispered, “Listen, Ancient Dream Saintess, I know that you’re having a hard ti right now, but I’m afraid that we’ll have to do it again for the Great Horn Army’s sake and the rat people’s future.
“You did very well the past few tis. You successfully helped us see through ‘Jackal’ Kanus’ eyes, thus helping us grab his tail.
“Now, we’re only half a step away from ‘Jackal’ Kanus. Take another look. As long as we can see his vision again, we’ll know where he is, what kind of conspiracy he’s plotting, and how to stop him!”
While the Ancient Dream Saintess was still in a deep sleep, her eyeballs were rapidly trembling and rotating under her eyelids.
The speed of the rotations made one suspect that it was not her eyeballs but the core rotor of so signal amplification device.
As her eyeballs rotated at an extrely high speed, the Ancient Dream Saintess’ brain began to heat up again.
The ice cubes that had just been applied to her head and neck lted into ice water at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In a few short breaths, the ice turned into misty water vapor that looked like it was hiding the Ancient Dream Saintess’ deford and swollen head.
ng Chao wanted to test the Ancient Dream Saintess’ body temperature.
However, the Ancient Dream Saintess suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Compared with ng Chao’s steely bones, the Ancient Dream Saintess’ arms and ten fingers seed as thin as twigs.
However, the strength of her grip caused ng Chao to subconsciously frown as he was unable to break free for a mont.
At that mont, the Ancient Dream Saintess slowly opened her eyes.
She revealed her grayish-white eyeballs that were missing pupils.
No, it was not due to the rotation of her eyeballs that her pupils had shifted to the inner side of her eyelids.
It was more like her pupils and eyeballs had all disappeared. Right then, two bottomless white vortexes were embedded in her eye sockets.
ng Chao’s consciousness was sucked into the deepest part of the white vortexes.
It was like passing through a long forest path in foggy weather. After an unknown period of ti, a mottled and shining shadow appeared in front of him.
That was what the Ancient Dream Saintess had been trying her best to show him. At that mont, he was seeing “Jackal” Kanus.
In the past twelve hours, they had used the sa thod many tis to spy on “Jackal” Kanus’ field of vision and determine the Wolf King and Tiger King’s location. From there, they would try to find the Lion King before the Wolf King and Tiger King.
In the beginning, it had been relatively easy to pry.
“Jackal” Kanus seemingly never thought that not only would the Ancient Dream Saintess still be alive, but she would also retain her spiritual connection with him. She could even invade his brain port through the her greatly enhanced ability.
However, after the first pry had been discovered, “Jackal” Kanus appeared to be on guard.
On several occasions, ng Chao’s consciousness would just entered the Wolf King’s brain through the amplification of the Ancient Dream Saintess’ brain.
Before he could see or hear anything, a powerful force would push him and shut him out.
There had even been a ti when “Jackal” Kanus had deliberately set a trap and pretended not to notice ng Chao spying on him. Then, he activated so secret technique and tried to cut off the connection between ng Chao’s consciousness and his brain by “locking” ng Chao’s consciousness in his own brain.
If ng Chao’s soul had not been baptized by the flas of the apocalypse, which had gradually awakened, ng Chao’s soul would have beco “Jackal” Kanus’ slave.
Perhaps, ng Chao’s soul would beco his slave, while his body, which had been trained until it was as hard as steel, would beco a muddle-headed, walking corpse!
