Knight Kader hurriedly sent troops to search the city.
Unfortunately, Levi had left the matter behind and hid his achievements and fame.
Icicle Islands was further north.
There was very little vegetation along the way.
Everything was desolate.
A few days later, Levi reached the northernmost city of the Evernight Kingdom.
Jackdaw City was famous for the white crows circling in the sky.
When Levi arrived, a flock of white crows was eating a frozen corpse.
However, the city did not seem to have a Snow Demon crisis. Along the way, Levi did not see any Snow Demons.
Jackdaw City was a small city with a population of less than 10,000.
Levi and his team came here mainly to find a local guide and translator familiar with Icicle Islands and the natives.
The Wild Dog Knight had only been to Jackdaw City. He had never been to the Icicle Islands and did not know the native language.
With the power of money, Levi and his team quickly found a suitable candidate.
A minority cultural scholar who had been living in Jackdaw City for a long time: Professor Bruce.
Levi and the others sat in a private room in an ordinary tavern.
“Great Ice Ape King?”
Professor Bruce drank his liquor and listened to Levi’s description.
“The Great Ice Ape King is the totem belief of the Insai people,” Professor Bruce asked.
“Other than the Great Ice Ape King, are there any other Snow
Apes on Icicle Islands?” Levi asked.
“No, Ice Apes were widely distributed in the extreme north hundreds of years ago. However, for some unknown reason, they went extinct suddenly.
“Only after I studied the culture of the Insai that I learn that there was one last living Ice Ape on Icicle Islands.
“The Ice Ape had escaped extinction and survived in that unworldly land. It had become more robust, long-lived, and intelligent than ordinary Ice Apes. It had even become a religion of the Insai people.
“On the Icicle Islands, a prehistoric giant beast called the Armored Mammoth existed. The strength of this massive beast was comparable to an existence like the Earthly Dragon Beast. It was hazardous.
“These giant beasts often bullied the Insai until the Ice Ape appeared and chased them away.
“Gradually, the Ice Ape became the totem of the Insai people. They regularly paid tribute to the Ice Ape and provided much food to please it.
“The Ice Apes were there to chase away Armored Mammoth and some foreign invaders.
“Therefore, I believe this can be considered a symbiotic relationship,” Professor Bruce talked about his research field.
Hearing this, Levi was sure that the Great Ice Ape King was the Ice Ape he needed.
“Professor Bruce, please lead the way,” Levi said.
Jackdaw City was not far from Icicle Islands.
A day later, Levi and his team arrived at Icicle Islands.
It was more like a mountain peak than an archipelago.
There was no sea.
Because it was too cold here, the seawater was frozen all year round, forming an endless Snowfield. The constant compression and freezing of these snow layers formed those mountains.
People lived here, and Levi had to admire the adaptability of humans.
Professor Bruce brought Levi to meet the chief of the Insai tribe.
There were only about a thousand people in the tribe.
Levi saw that they were all wearing thick fur clothing.
Professor Bruce said something to the chief. Ultimately, the head looked angry, and Professor Bruce left resentfully.
“The chief didn’t agree to take us to see the Great Ice Ape King, saying we would disturb the rest of the Great Ice Ape King,” Professor Bruce said.
“Give these to him.” Levi took out 100 gold coins and handed them to Professor Bruce.
Professor Bruce took the money and entered the chief’s house.
Finally, he smiled and said, “Money is handy. The chief said he would bring us to see the Great Ice Ape King tomorrow morning.”
Gold was omnipotent.
Levi could not help but sigh.
With money, one could do whatever they wanted.
Because of the power of money, the chief agreed to bring Levi and his team to see the Great Ice Ape King and arranged a room for them to stay in.
Naturally, Levi did not sleep. Instead, he continued to cultivate. The next day, the chief came to Levi’s door early in the morning.
“Let’s go.” Professor Bruce said excitedly.
He had never seen the Great Ice Ape King before.
To become the totem belief of a human tribe, it must not be simple.
The Great Ice Ape King was entrenched on the highest iceberg on the Icicle Islands. Not long after, the chief brought Levi and his team here.
He also brought a lot of food, most of which was meat.
A tribe like theirs could only rely on hunting for a living.
If he wanted other food, he would have to go outside to exchange for it.
Therefore, sacrifices were usually made with meat.
The chief shouted as if he was communicating.
At the same time, similar shouts came from the high-icicle mountain.
Hearing this voice, the chief led Levi and his team up the mountain.
Mortals like the chief and Professor Bruce could only climb the mountain with specially made spiked shoes. As for Levi and Magic Shark, they could quickly jump high into the air and stab their swords into the ground to climb. When Levi arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw a deep, pitch-black snow cave.
This must be the residence of the Great Ice Ape King.
Levi was not hurrying to move forward because he could sense a slight danger from Spider Sensing..
