Ji Chen nodded slightly, “Maintain formation, stay vigilant. We move forward.” “Yes.”
The heroes nodded in agreement, their eyes gradually filled with seriousness.
As they entered this icy sea, they sensed a peculiar disturbance in their souls, as if something was constantly wailing and moaning, these whispers, like a drizzling rain, infiltrated their minds, carrying negative energies that induced fear.
But soon, they realized the source of this strange disturbance.
As they approached those icebergs, weighing tens of thousands of tons each, they discovered that these icebergs were frozen with corpses. There were humans, elves, orcs… preserved in the icy seal, these corpses looked lifelike, frozen in the moment of their death. Their faces displayed expressions of pain, fury, or madness. Some had their hands raised as if trying to reach the surface but drowned midway while fighting with weapons.
However, the sudden ice instantly froze them all, without distinction between allies and enemies, preserving them until now.
It was not just one iceberg; all the icebergs around them held a large number of bodies. The total number of corpses was incalculable.
Ji Chen realized the truth; this place was not a divine relic, but an ancient battlefield.
Or rather, it was an ancient battlefield from an ancient divine war.
In a distant era, a protracted battle took place among the gods, and their followers followed suit, waging wars in the name of their faith, which was later referred to as the Divine War.
These souls, frozen in the ice, were soldiers, believers, and fanatics of different races who wielded their weapons for their respective faiths, aiming to exterminate the heretics.
Perhaps due to their intense hatred, anger, lust, and the collective negative emotions generated after their deaths, these emotions persisted and expanded over an unknown period of time. This negative energy still enveloped this ice sea, making people feel uncomfortable at the very least and driving them insane to the point of killing each other at the worst.
However, the Ocean Crown’s army was all at the fifth tier, and they had a certain resistance to this negative energy. The heroes, in particular, were even more immune to it, thanks to their extraordinary bloodlines and legendary professions. Ji Chen, in particular, felt a slight anomaly at the beginning but easily adapted to it.
However, it was a different story for the other people who entered this place. As soon as the Third and Fourth Fleets of the Bass Kingdom entered this ice sea, a large number of soldiers began to display abnormal reactions. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and despite their disciplined training and strong willpower, they were affected. They became irritable, and any slight abnormality almost led them to fight each other. This surprised Duoru.
Surrounded by nothing but glaciers, icebergs, and floating ice, this was clearly not what was known as a divine relic!
“What the hell is this place?”
The Deceiver wearing a mask muttered ominously, “I’ve already told you; this is a ‘graveyard,’ the resting place of countless foolish, despicable, and ignorant believers.
This is a battlefield left behind by ‘them’ after their battle. What we need is deep within this battlefield.”
Duoru gave him a deep look, and a strong sense of wariness rose in his heart. These masked individuals seemed to know everything, even about this eerie place. Working alongside someone with such an unclear background made it difficult to trust them.
However, they had no choice now. The giant beast had already blocked their way outside.. They could only delve deeper to obtain the treasures they needed and then use those treasures to break free!
