To the north of the Roth Empire, there was an endless snowfield.
This place was covered in snow all year round, and there was almost no sign of life when one went deeper into the snowfield.
No one knew how far north it was because the further north one went, the lower the temperature would be.
Furthermore, there would be blizzards and storms. Even 10th-tier giant dragons wouldn't be able to pass through those obstacles. There were even cases of 10th-tier giant dragons getting lost in the snowfield.
Because of that, this snowfield had become a forbidden area that all the races wouldn't set foot in.
At this moment, Noah was waving a piece of red cloth to guide the purple-striped griffin in the sky to land at a fault in an ice cliff that was more than 250 kilometers deep into the school.
"Mr. Mak, did you bring food?" Noah asked shamelessly when the griffin had just landed.
Meg looked at Noah, whose nose was red from the cold, and whose eyebrows were covered in frost. He smiled and took out a ball of mud and a small cup that was still steaming.
"Wow, 'Buddha jumps over the wall' and beggar's chicken!" Noah's eyes widened as he swallowed his saliva.
After staying in this snowfield for a few days, he had been eating frozen pancakes that had to be roasted over fire to bite into. He still felt the bone-chilling cold when he slept beside the fire at night. It was a life worse than death.
When he suddenly saw the steaming 'Buddha jumps over the wall' and the beggar's chicken, Noah was about to cry when he opened the lid.
"Mr. Mak, you are my second parent!" Noah said to Meg with tears in his eyes as he took a bite of the beggar's chicken.
"No, no, no. I don't have a son like you. Amy will despise you." Meg quickly rejected him as he looked at the cave entrance on the ice cliff.
"Mr. Mak, you are here." Melander walked out of the cave quickly.
"Yes. What's the situation here?" Melander suddenly called him to this place, but it didn't look conspicuous.
"Follow me in. I will tell you as we walk." Melander led Meg and Irina into the cave.
"Grandpa, aren't you going to eat some beggar's chicken and 'Buddha jumps over the wall' before working?" Noah's voice sounded from behind.
"Go ahead, I'm not hungry." Then, he said to Meg and the others, "We discovered this ice cave this morning. The tortoiseshell stone reacted, and we only found this cave after searching for a long time."
"Josh has been here before?" Meg frowned.
"I'm not sure yet, but this ice cave is very strange. You'll know when you get in." Melante didn't say much, but he quickened his pace.
After passing through a long ice path, the road ahead suddenly opened up. A huge ice cave appeared in their line of sight, and their position was in the middle of the ice cave.
Meg's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there to be another world under the ice.
"Look below." Melante walked to the edge of the ice cliff and pointed down.
Mag and Irina poked their heads out to take a look, and their expressions changed.
Below the ice cave was a huge ice surface. On the ice surface, there were countless human-shaped and beast-shaped holes. It was as if someone had dug out something from the ice.
Some broken bones and body parts were scattered in the holes. There were signs that they had been eaten recently.
A strange aura shrouded the ice cave.
"This is?" Meg frowned and felt a chill on his back.
Melante pondered and said, "I once read an ancient book. It said that in ancient times, the snowy plains in the north were an ancient battlefield. Many races fought here and left many corpses.
These corpses were buried in ice and snow. Many of them were perfectly preserved because they were frozen. People have been finding ancient corpses on the snowy plains. There are many mysterious ancient corpses whose races cannot be identified.
If I'm not wrong, this should be an ancient battlefield. There are many ancient corpses buried here. "
"What about the ancient corpses?" Meg suddenly felt uneasy.
"The ancient corpses have disappeared. Judging from the traces, it happened not too long ago," Melante said with a serious expression. "They should have been controlled."
"There are remnants of demonic aura. It has something to do with demons," Irina said.
She raised her hand and shot out a beam of golden holy light. It reacted violently with the remnants of black demonic aura on the stone wall.
Meg was silent for a while. He looked at Melante, and said, "In other words, Josh could have controlled the ancient corpses here and turned them into servants that he could order around."
"Yes. If it was just to absorb resentment, there wouldn't be these holes and gnawed corpses left." Melante nodded. "I'm very familiar with the method of controlling corpses. However, he used a more advanced method. It's similar to bewitchment."
"But they have been dead for countless years. All that's left are corpses that have been slowed down by the ice and snow. How can he bewitch them?" Meg was puzzled.
"As long as the resentment doesn't dissipate, he can do it. That's why demons are so scary." Melante shook his head slightly, and frankly said, "Even us ghosts can do it through some methods."
Irina retracted her hand, and coldly said, "Instead of absorbing resentment, he chose to control these corpses. What is Josh trying to do?"
"When the various races of the Norland Continent put aside their differences and decided to join forces to deal with the demons, what he needed was sufficient strength and numbers of helpers." Meg looked at the densely packed corpses below with a complicated expression, and said, "These corpses will form a powerful undead army that will follow him to conquer the Norland Continent."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid there are many more ice caves like this in the northern snowfield. Countless ancient corpses that died in battle are buried under this snowfield," Melante said in a low voice.
"Save me! Grandpa, there's a ghost! "
Right at this moment, a shrill voice sounded from the cave.
Noah was running over with the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' in his arms and a drumstick in his mouth. Dense footsteps sounded behind him.
At the same time, the ice walls in all directions of the ice cave suddenly exploded. Ancient corpses jumped out from the ice walls and pounced on Meg and the rest.
Countless ancient corpses also crawled out from underground, and roared as they climbed up the ice walls. There were thousands of them.
Most of these ancient corpses had strange appearances. There were three-headed humanoid beasts, human-faced spiders, giants with only half a head left, monsters with green fur all over their bodies … Their bodies were incomplete, and they did not belong to the races that existed now.
The similarity was that their eyes were glowing with a faint red light, and they were rushing toward Meg and the rest in a frenzy.
"Seems like this is a trap. He knew we were coming from the start."
Meg pointed his finger forward, and the Tian Du sword turned into an afterimage as it shot into the eerie tunnel, killing all the ancient corpses that were rushing toward them.
"We have to leave from here. The terrain is not in our favor." Irina raised her magic caster's staff, and the light from her staff shone, and the ancient corpses that were pouncing toward her were instantly turned into ashes.
However, these ancient corpses seemed to be endless. After a batch was destroyed by the Holy Light, they continued to surge out from underground and the walls, and almost covered the entire wall of the cave.
A teleportation talisman appeared in Irina's hand, and she lit it up on her fingertips.
A golden light flashed under everyone's feet, but it was annihilated by a black demonic aura that suddenly appeared.
