The Northern Icefield was much bigger than what Zhao Hai had imagined . He reckoned that the place was much larger than the Carrion Swamp . Even after investigating for ten days, Zhao Hai still didn’t have a substantial harvest . What he saw were only some frozen bones, but those had already been ruined by the winds of the Icefield, making them incomplete . Because of this, Zhao Hai has no way to know what race of people those bones belonged to .
But Zhao still insisted on pushing through, watching the screen everyday . Laura and the others had stopped doing so long time ago . The scenery in the Icefield was very monotonous, it might even drive people crazy .
There was only one thing that they can see here, and that was the plain white landscape of the Icefield . Aside from that, there was virtually nothing .
Zhao Hai stared at the screen carefully, he didn’t want to miss anything . He just took some rest from time to time .
In fact, Zhao Hai’s trip didn’t have much of an impact to his usual operation . After all, he has the Space, he can return to the continent at any time . He can still handle his businesses as well as the Buda Clan’s matters .
The Buda Clan’s matters were already on track, so Zhao Hai didn’t really need to manage it too much . The Buda Clan wasn’t the same as the other families that were to centralized on their patriarch . Zhao Hai’s matters were now mainly taken care of by Laura and the others, leaving him with very little to do .
The feelings of Laura and the others towards each other were also very good . And they also knew about Zhao Hai’s personality, so there was no jealousy present that was common in noble households, saving Zhao Hai lots of worries .
Actually, this was partially due to the Space . The Space can slowly change a person’s thinking . And since Zhao Hai was the host, people would slowly see him much more favorably .
Laura and the others also underwent this change and were now centered around Zhao Hai . Because of this, they didn’t become jealous of each other .

But in the end, this change was vastly slower compared to the Space subduing the 9th rank Magic Beasts . Because of this, nobody knew about it, even Zhao Hai .
On Zhao Hai’s 12th day in the Icefield, he was still staring at the blank landscape . Zhao Hai was also starting to get tired at this point .
At this time, a strange thing attracted Zhao Hai’s attention . It was a piece of rock, just an average piece of rock .
If this rock was placed on other places, then it wouldn’t be very strange . However, this was the Northern Icefield, rocks were foreign existences here .
Zhao Hai looked at the the rock while the staff slowed down . He directed his focus in order to inspect what this rock was .
The monitor seems to understand Zhao Hai as it enlarged the rock’s image . It even allowed Zhao Hai to see the entire thing .
When Zhao Hai saw this rock, he couldn’t help but get shocked . He couldn’t be blamed, the rock’s form resembled an animal that he knew, a giant ape .
The bodies of giant apes are very huge . Aside from Little Jin, all of the other apes were very enormous, especially those who didn’t break through .
This ape in front of him, however, had a much bigger build . From the looks of it, this ape was about ten meters in height, it looked like it had a body that defied common sense . But the ape was now sealed in ice .

Upon looking at this ape, Zhao Hai immediately related it to the Diamond Ape Tribe . He knew the Beastman custom of having their unique magic beast . Moreover, he also asked the Beast King about the Diamond Ape tribe’s magic beasts, so that he can track the Beast God’s Spear much easier . Since he was doing it for the Beastmen, the Beast King didn’t hide anything from him . The Diamond Apes were the sole race in the Prairie that didn’t have any mounts . But even if they didn’t have a mount, they still have their beast relatives by their side . These beasts not only provide the Diamond Apes with great strength, they also increase their defensive power . This ability also made true that they share their life and death with the Diamond Apes . Once their master dies, these Magic Beasts would perish as well .
Because of this symbiotic relationship, the spiritual connection between the magic beasts and the Diamond Apes gave them even more benefit and higher power than the other Beastmen . And in turn, this strength made the Diamond Apes the Kings of the Beastman Race .
Zhao Hai looked around but cannot see a corpse of a Diamond Ape . This made Zhao Hai feel odd, if a diamond ape died here, then there should certainly be a Diamond Ape Beastman present . Why can’t he see one?”
While Zhao Hai was puzzled, Cai’er said, “Young Master, the Diamond Ape is in this thing’s belly . ”
Zhao Hai stared, then he focused the monitor to look at the diamond ape’s belly . Upon looking, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but get shocked . It was because in the internal organs of this diamond ape, there was actually someone, a Diamond Ape .
Zhao Hai clapped his hands as he laughed loudly . He was happy because he had finally found something in the Northern Icefield after a long time . He had finally found a Diamond Ape corpse, and in a good condition at that!
Zhao Hai’s excitement certainly alamred Laura and the others . They immediately went to the living room and looked at the monitor .
It didn’t take a long time for them to gawk at what they had seen . They also expressed their happiness, every one of them was very excited .
Zhao Hai gave a smile, then a white flash appeared as the Diamond Ape was observed inside the Space .
Zhao Hai didn’t place the corpse inside the villa, but placed it outside . Then he led Laura and the others to it .
The diamond ape was sealed in a bunch of ice, the same applied to the Diamond Ape inside its body . The diamond ape was curled up, so with it was no wonder that it looked like a rock from far away .
Although it was already dead, the diamond ape still looked very fierce . It’s imposing aura was very astonishing . One could see for frightening it would be too meet it when it was still alive .
Laura and the others gathered around the body of the diamond ape . They didn’t find the corpse strange, after all, Zhao Hai had millions of them . They were already used to it .
After looking at the corpse, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, “I didn’t expect the Beastmen to have such a race . Compared to Little Jin’s tribemates, these fellows were much more larger, they looked more frightening as well . ”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “They were once the rulers of the Prairie, people who made the other Beastmen bow . So it was certain that they were fearful . Alright, let’s melt them first before turning them into undead . ”
Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as water from the Hot Spring was slowly sprinkled on the ice . However, Zhao Hai didn’t expect the ice to be so hard . Spraying Hot Spring water to the corpse had become just like spraying water into glass .
Zhao Hai stared, then he waved his hand once more as a he fired a Fireball towards the ice . Only after that did the ice start to melt .
Zhao Hai released more fireballs in order to melt the ice . He also paid extreme attention to his movements in order to not burn the corpse .
When the two bodies seem to have thawed, Zhao Hai waved his hand as a mass of black mist surrounded the body . He wanted to turn the diamond ape as well as the Diamond Ape beastman into undead .
But to his disappointment, the diamond ape as well as the Beastman in its belly remained unresponsive, it didn’t turn into an undead .
This startled Zhao Hai, his Dark Magic had always been effective to all corpses, why did it not work on this diamond ape? Zhao Hai was puzzled as he re-cast his spell, which still ended up in failure .
Zhao Hai was confused, so he knocked his staff onto the corpse, discovering that it was still hard as a rock . It seems like it had been frozen for a long time that it had been petrified .
This made Zhao Hai feel relief, he stored the corpse and then returned to the villa . Then he released his staff once more and searched for other diamond ape corpses .
Completely different from the more than ten days of nothing, Zhao Hai had suddenly come up with diamond ape corpses one after the other . Zhao Hai discovered that these corpses were also sealed in ice, with the Diamond Ape beastman inside the bodies of the diamond apes . At the same time, all of them were also petrified .
In the next three days, Zhao Hai found about a thousand diamond ape corpses . All of these corpses were the same, they all contained a Diamond Ape inside . Moreover, the corpses seem to extend in a straight line .
While looking at these corpses, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but picture a scene . The Beastmen’s most powerful race, exiled to the Northern Icefields, facing the brutal environment . All of them were fueled by this obsession of retrieving the Divine Artifact . All of them were undergoing this journey of death .
In the days before, it seems like they hadn’t discovered how to take care of their dead bodies . But in the place where Zhao Hai saw the first diamond ape, it seems like they already found out a method, It’s a special way of burial in which they would bury the Beastman inside their soul beast .
