Chapter 600 – Vassal
Naturally, Zhao Hai knew that this mentality wouldn't apply to these ice beasts. These ice beasts didn't have souls from what he had seen. It was possible that they were puppets that don't fear anything, thus not knowing about retreat.
Zhao Hai was most proficient with Dark Magic, and Dark Mages had inseparable relationship with souls.
Because of this, Zhao Hai was sensitive about any movements of souls. Although there were already a lot of dead ice beasts, Zhao Hai still didn't feel any soul in the vicinity. This proved Zhao Hai's speculation that these ice beasts were puppets.
But what made Zhao Hai feel strange was that these puppets didn't have anyone giving them command. They seem to have been moving independently. This explained why they didn't have any attack formation and were attacking by instinct alone, causing their movements to be very disorderly.
These ice beasts weren't weak, if they had some kind of command, their strength would have been increased by about three times. In this case, the Diamond Apes won't be able to block them anymore.
The hundred thousand ice beasts were slowly overwhelming the mountain, they seem to be aiming for the Diamond Apes. The trees on the surrounding were virtually untouched, all of them were going straight to the Diamond Ape city.
The stone golems didn't have any problems in dealing with them, but some ice beasts had started to spill out and headed to the mountain city. This made the Diamond Apes start to act against the ice beasts.
In fact, Zhao Hai had the power to eliminate all of these ice beasts, but he wanted to look at the fighting strength of the Diamond Apes.
It didn't take too long for the Diamond Apes to show Zhao Hai their fighting ability. The bodies of the Diamond Apes suddenly lit up with a yellow light that resembled golden armor. This made the Diamond Apes and their partners become golden armored soldiers. The wooden clubs on their hands also had a layer of golden light on it.
At this time, the ice beast were already upon the city. Then a scene that Zhao Hai didn't expect happened. The ice beasts gathered together and then a white light flashed. When the white light vanished, a huge ice beast was seen outside the city. This ice beast was much taller than the stone golem. Then it roared and rushed to the wall.
When it was a few meters away from the wall, it suddenly jumped. This one jump along propelled it towards the wall.
However, at this time, two Diamond Apes made their move. Two bangs were heard as four fists hit the head of the ice beast, causing its head to explode and the ice beast disintegrated after.
But that was not the end, the broken pieces of the ice beast suddenly became little ice beasts. Then those ice beasts rushed towards the other Diamond Apes.
The Diamond Apes seem to know about this property, so they didn't go away after dealing with the giant ice beast. The Diamond Apes then started to clash with the ice beasts.
Zhao Hai discovered that these golden soldiers were extremely coordinated. The numbers of the ice beasts were simply useless in front of them.
Moreover, from what Zhao Hai had seen, the Diamond Apes seem to have developed a method to have their companion beasts work in total conjunction with their movements. There were no useless movements between the two of them, it was very flawless. This ability was very scary.
After seeing the Diamond Apes fight, Zhao Hai immediately casted a powerful fire element attack. Then an inferno appeared below the city wall. The ice beasts seemed to flinch. It seems like they fear fire.
When he saw this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod. The weakness of the ice beasts were indeed fire element magic. However, Zhao Hai cannot use a larger attack magic than he had just used, otherwise, he would be burning the forest down.
While the Diamond Apes were focused on the fire, Zhao Hai immediately released a large number of undead in the forest and had them eliminate the ice beasts.
One of Zhao Hai's undead can easily eradicate all of the ice beasts, but it would take some time, time which Zhao Hai didn't have. He was currently thinking about how strange these ice beasts were. He had already mapped the entire southern area of the volcano and he couldn't wait to unravel the mysteries of the northern part.
Moreover, Zhao Hai reckoned that Tess had already decided to follow him in leaving the icefield. Otherwise, he wouldn't be waiting for him on the wall.
Because of the undead that Zhao Hai had released, no ice beasts were able to approach the wall and were eliminated in the forest. Because of this, the fight had reached a sudden conclusion. After a couple of moments, no ice beasts can be seen in sight.
This made Tess look strangely at the situation. There was no ice beasts present and Zhao Hai had also retrieved his stone golems. Aside from the traces of the fire magic, it was as though nothing had happened.
However, Tess felt puzzled, he remembered the number of ice beasts that has been killed and was sure that it was not enough. So why did the ice beasts stop coming? This was out of his expectations.
Tess had fought the ice beasts for the entirety of his life. So he was very familiar with the rate of each ice beast attack. Every single time these beasts attack, they would number no less than 100 thousand. When they fought with the ice beasts in the past, they would even need the support of the elderly and the women. So how could the current group of ice beasts be so little?
Zhao Hai looked at Tess expression as he faintly smiled and said, "Patriarch, no need to be worried, there are no ice beasts left."
Upon hearing this, Tess couldn't help but turn his head to stare at Zhao Hai. Then he immediately thought that since Zhao Hai was the first one to discover the ice beasts, then the reduction of ice beast numbers should be because of him.
Tess then sighed deeply as he nodded to Zhao Hai. Then he turned to his tribesmen and loudly said, "We're good, everyone disperse!"
Although the Diamond Apes felt that it was strange, they still dispersed under Tess' command. In the minds of a lot of people was the thought that this was the most relaxing fight they had been in their entire life.
Seeing that everyone has dispersed, Tess then arranged some people to guard the walls before he led Zhao Hai back to his house. After they had sat down, Tess looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, we have reached an agreement. The elders all agreed. Starting today, our Diamond Ape tribe will forever be your followers!"
Zhao Hai cannot help but get stunned after hearing this. One must know that this statement carried heavy implications for the beastmen. The Diamond Apes basically stated that they would become Zhao Hai's vassals starting today. The meaning of vassals for the Beastmen and Humans are different. For the Humans, vassals would still have their own autonomy and independence. As long as they listen to their lord, then they would be fine by governing themselves. But Beastmen vassals are a different matter. Beastman vassals would forever respect and regard their master highly. Moreover, there weren't much of an independence when it comes to their conditions. What they do and how they live would have to depend on what their lord wants. Therefore, when Tess expressed their decision, Zhao Hai couldn't help but gawk.
Zhao Hai looked at Tess and said, "Patriarch, you need to think about it. If you become a vassal to the Buda Clan, you would no longer have autonomy. I just need to remind you of this."
Tess nodded and said, "We already considered it. I'll be frank to Mister, these past few years, the 13 peaks had gotten more and more unstable. And we don't know when they would erupt, but when they do, we would have nowhere to run to. Passing back through the icefield towards the Prairie wasn't something that we are able to do. And even if we managed to return, what would be do then? Our tribe has vanished for 5000 years, when we come back, we won't know what we'll do."
Zhao Hai nodded, he understood what Tess was saying. Seeing Zhao Hai nod, Tess continued, "When you brought me to Iron Mountain Fort, I asked Ares about their situation. You did not lie, you truly do treat beastmen very well. I believe that if we come with you, we wouldn't suffer any loss."
Zhao Hai looked at Tess and then faintly smiled, "Alright, I'll accept the Patriarch's words. Patriarch, have your clansmen prepare. In a few days, I would deliver you to Iron Mountain Fort."
Tess nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "If Mister is worried about our living necessities, you don't have to. Our Diamond Ape tribe can handle hardship. The continent would enter summer soon, it would be fine if we don't have houses."
Zhao Hai can feel their sense of urgency as he heard Tess' words. He gave a smile and said, "Patriarch, just wait for a few days. Even if you don't bring anything, you would still be fine."
Zhao Hai didn't lie to Tess, he had a lot of things in his hand. Ever since Wales promised him 100 thousand slaves, he had already amassed materials in order to accommodate them. Of all these things, Zhao Hai gave priority to the thing that Beastmen needed the most, tents.
Tess looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, from what he heard from Ares, Zhao Hai was a man of his word, he wouldn't deceive them. "Alright, then we'll trouble Mister. Also, isn't Mister planning to retrieve the Beast God's Spear as well?"
Zhao Hai nodded, "I would look for it certainly. But rest assured, I'll deliver you to the wasteland first so that you can avoid any more attacks from the ice beasts. After I send you to the wasteland, I can then take my time in looking for the Divine Artifact. I can just return to the continent whenever I want so you don't need to worry about my safety."
Tess already experienced Zhao Hai's Space Divergent Ability, so he didn't doubt Zhao Hai's words. He shifted the topic and asked, "We still have magic beasts in here. How would we deal with those?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That depends in how you want to handle it. If you want to raise magic beasts in the wasteland, then that won't be a problem. But if you don't want to raise this kind of magic beast, I can trade you some argali, bulls, or other beasts. We'll decide on a fair price. What do you think?"
Tess thought for a moment and said, "We're really not familiar with argali or bulls. We don't have any knowledge on how to raise them. On the other hand, we're quite used to raising these fire rabbits. Can we just raise them in the wasteland?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course, that's not a problem. But fire rabbits don't sell for much money. If you decide to raise argali, you can get some milk, wool, and skin for money. But since you don't have any experience, I'll give you some argali and bulls to practice on and try to raise them. If you decide to raise them and forgo the fire rabbits, you can approach me and we'll do a fair trade."
Tess felt very grateful to Zhao Hai as he said, "Mister, you're really a good person. Our Diamond Ape tribe didn't have prior relationship to you, but you still decided to greatly help us. Let me express my deepest thanks."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Patriarch doesn't need to say anything. You joining my Buda Clan made our overall strength increase. It should be me who says thanks."
Tess didn't say anything. However, he knew that Zhao Hai was just saying this out of courtesy. Ares had told Tess about the Buda Clan's present status in the continent. With the Buda Clan's current strength, having the Diamond Ape tribe join them wouldn't give them much of an improvement.
This fact made Tess more grateful to Zhao Hai. There was no doubt that Zhao Hai had helped them a lot but for little benefit to him. This fact made Tess feel very moved.
Seeing Zhao Hai like this, Tess felt that he had not followed the wrong person. It strengthened his determination even more. Zhao Hai looked at Tess' expression and didn't comment. It was just as Tess thought, with the current strength of the Buda Clan, he didn't need the help of the Diamond Ape tribe.
Speaking of true fighting strength, Zhao Hai already had enough 9th ranks to overrun the entire continent. And to say about herding, he already had the Space to do it for him. The main reason why Zhao Hai helped the Diamond Apes were mainly because of sympathy and admiration.
He sympathizes with the situation of the Diamond Ape tribe, while he admired their resolve. After these many years, they still hadn't given up in their quest to search for the Beast God's Spear. To such a race, Zhao Hai couldn't help but look highly upon them.
Chapter 601 – Settling In
The next day after Zhao Hai and Tess' agreement, Tess announced to his tribesmen that they would be moving to a new place.
This fact made the other DIamond Apes feel somewhat at a loss. They don't know what's going on, why would they suddenly move to another place?"
Zhao Hai didn't participate in this matter. This wasn't something that needed his help, it was all left up to Tess and the others. The Diamond Ape tribe had already stayed in this place for more than 5000 years. And in these 5000 years, their lives had been calm. Aside from looking for the Divine Artifact as well as the ice beasts, they didn't suffer any other trouble. It was a sort of mundane heaven, one which had beasts living in it.
And now they were suddenly leaving, this made the minds of the other Diamond Apes turn blank. But Tess told them about the situation of the volcano and compared it to the Black Wasteland. This managed to calm the people down.
Seeing the reactions of the Diamond Apes made Zhao Hai gawk. Then he immediately understood why. They had lived in seclusion for too long that they would find it strange seeing other strangers in their vicinity. If they suddenly come across an assortment of new people, then they might not be able to adapt.
But fortunately, the place where they would be going to was the Black Wasteland. This meant that they would just be moving from their mundane life into a less mundane place but somewhere without wild beasts. Perhaps this was the best result for them.
Tess' influence in the tribe was very high that after he talked his tribemates through, they started to pack up and prepared to leave.
The things that they focused most was actually their magic beasts, which were the fire rabbits. These magic beasts were quite big, they weren't much shorter than the argali. It can eat anything and it rarely get sick. It was a very good type of magic beast.
However, when one considers money, these rabbits were inferior to argali. Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted the Diamond Apes to raise argali, not these fire rabbits.
However, Tess words reminded Zhao Hai that the Diamond Apes haven't raised argali for more than 5000 years. They simply didn't have the knowledge to herd argali. If Zhao Hai immediately swaps their fire rabbits for argali, then they might find it hard to adapt.
Zhao Hai and Tess stood on the wall and observed the people preparing. After their talk, Zhao Hai told Tess that Iron Mountain Fort would be prepared after three days. Zhao Hai also sent some undead to Green in order to rush the preparations.
Tess and the others were still not finished preparing. They had lived in here for a long time that not even a stick was spared in their packing. Seeing this scene made Tess smile bitterly.
Zhao Hai didn't care about it too much. These people were just unwilling to give their stuff up due to nostalgia, it wasn't something strange. Tess sighed and looked at Zhao Hai, "Mister, I think it'll take two days before they finish packing. If you are in a hurry, I can make them go faster."
Zhao Hai faintly smiled and shook his head, "It's fine. The Wasteland is already prepared. Being late for one or two days wouldn't matter. Just have them take their time. There's no need to worry."
Tess said, "I'm just afraid that you might miss the chance to get the Beast God's Spear."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Beast God's Spear has already been here for 5000 years. If something did happen, one or two days wouldn't make much of a difference."
Tess nodded, then he said, "Mister, the Beast God's Spear is a very important matter to our tribe. I have a request. If Mister finds the Beast God's Spear, please bring it to our Diamond Ape tribe first. We've sought for this thing for 5000 years, the least we could do is see it with our own eyes."
Zhao Hai nodded and, "Patriarch, rest assured. If I do retrieve the Beast God's Spear, I'll go back to this volcano and show it to you so you could perform a ritual."
Tess nodded, he hadn't requested Zhao Hai about doing a ceremony at the volcano because it was already too much to ask for. Therefore, the only thing he could ask was to see them Beast God's Spear.
Zhao Hai understood Tess' mood. This was their tribe's obsession for 5000 years. If Tess doesn't see it, then he might carry this regret for the rest of his life.
Sure enough, just as Tess had thought, the Diamond Apes took two days before they finished packing. After all of them had prepared, Zhao Hai immediately went out of the city and opened a huge spatial rift that allowed the people to get through it.
The people couldn't help but get surprised upon seeing the spatial rift. But they still obediently walked through it. What made them surprised was the fact that Tess was not present. But fortunately, the other elders were there to guide them.
It didn't take a long time for the people to pass through the spatial rift. And when they emerged, they immediately saw Tess. As it turns out, Tess was the first one that passed through the rift.
Along with Tess, there were also some slaves as well as Giant Horned Bulls on the other side. These people would help the Diamond Apes get settled in.
The Diamond Apes looked curiously at the Giant Horned Bulls. The Giant Horned Bulls were very enthusiastic. Almost all of the Beastmen knew about the exiled Royal tribe, now they had finally seen what they looked like.
However, the Giant Horned Bulls also knew the importance of the current matter. Therefore, they didn't say a lot of words to the Diamond Apes. They just led the Diamond Apes to the place that was prepared for them. The place where they'll go to was very close to the Giant Horned Bulls. This was because the Bulls would be the people who would teach the Diamond Apes about the life in the Black Wasteland.
The Diamond Apes received their tents according to their families. It was great that Beastman tents were very tall and spacious, which allowed the Diamond Apes to stay in it.
The Diamond Apes looked curiously at their new home. They had discovered that everything that they would need was already provided. There were even some ironware that they hadn't seen before, this made them feel very excited.
Soon, the 100 thousand people had arrived at the camp. Tess and the elders also helped them settle in quickly. Green and Merine came as well along with a lot of slaves. The most important thing for these Diamond Apes was to get used to meeting new people. These were people that they would have to come in contact frequently in the future.
Zhao Hai had also started to improve the Wasteland this year. And now that Cai'er has levelled up, she had extended her branches slowly. In the end, she had surrounded the Iron Mountain as well as the middle part of the Black Wasteland. In this way, it won't be very cold here even in the winter. This also allowed plants to grow normally, increasing the yearly yield of the land.
Cai'er didn't have anything to say about this. She was a plant type magic beast. And all of the plant types can do this when they reach a high enough level. And now that she has been upgraded further, this matter was not even a problem for her. Now, one could see a beautiful ring of flowers around the Iron Mountains. These branches belong to Cai'er. She can use this to absorb energy from the land. Not only would it affect her cultivation, it would also provide more nutrition for her, which was one of her most important ability in order to survive as a magic beast.
This was also Zhao Hai's consideration for Tess' tribe. Although they can survive in the current Black Wasteland, on shouldn't forget that they had been living in a volcano for 5000 years. They weren't used to having seasons. If winter suddenly arrives, then it would be troublesome for the Diamond Apes.
Regarding the arrival of the Diamond Apes, Robert and Evan couldn't help but get surprised. There were once Great Patriarchs who governed land with a border with the Beastmen. Because of that, they also collected a lot of materials regarding the history of the Prairie. The matter of the Diamond Apes wasn't a huge secret among the Beastmen. They were basically a royal tribe that was exiled to the Northern Icefield. When they went to the Icefield, nobody was expecting them to survive. But who would've thought that Zhao Hai would bring them here.
Evan and Robert didn't know about the true reason why the Diamond Apes were sent to exile. In fact, most Beastmen didn't know either. However, they were now more surprised about Zhao Hai's abilities.
Settling 100 thousand people was no small matter. But since Green and the others had already done it for more than one time, they knew what to do. Because of their experience, there weren't any mistakes in the process. And adding on to the fact that they had prepared, the Diamond Apes were settled quickly.
100 thousand people might sound many, but when one divides them into households, the unit number would be reduced to 30 thousand. Settling them up was much easier than they thought.
Zhao Hai also lended a hand in settling the Diamond Apes. Whatever the Diamond Apes needed, Zhao Hai would fulfill it immediately. He already had a lot of things in his Space, common necessities wouldn't be a problem.
When the curtain of night fell down, the Diamond Apes were finally settled in nicely. Zhao Hai and the others also relaxed. However, Zhao Hai knew that settling down was not this easy. These Diamond Apes might be unable to adapt to their new life and would take a long time before they get familiar with the place. It was just like when the Giant Horned Bulls had come here for the first time.
However, this time was also not the same. Now, there were Giant Horned Bulls present in order to teach the Diamond Apes. Compared to when the Giant Horned Bulls' arrival, the current situation was much better.
It took three days before the Diamond Apes had finally reached their new home. Zhao Hai also sent some argali and bulls. With the help of the Giant Horned Bulls, the Diamond Apes would slowly learn how to herd them.
At this time, Zhao Hai returned to the Northern Icefield. It was time to unearth the place's secrets!
Chapter 602 – Ice Pillar
Going back to the volcano and seeing the already deserted city, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile a little. Maybe the volcano would be just like the Northern Icefield. Once it's secret is discovered, maybe it would be like this mountain city, just a piece of history.
Zhao Hai's figure slowly flew up the mountain and went to the place beyond it. He then looked at the white icefield as well as the thirteen peaks. He couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement welling up in his chest. He wanted to conquer this area, he must unearth the secrets that nobody had found out before!
After thinking up to this point, Zhao Hai cannot help but face the skies and issued a long and loud cry. Then his figure moved and quickly flew towards the northern part of the icefield!
While Zhao Hai helped Tess and the others settle down, he also wasn't idling about. He also made Cai'er control the Blood Ghost Staff and map the entire Northern Icefield.
The Northern Icefield was indeed very big, comparing it to the Beastman Prairie would not be an understatement. It might even be bigger. Actually, Zhao Hai didn't know that the Northern Icefield wasn't like this big before. The Icefield was just expanding at a very slow speed. It was because of this discovery that the Patriarch of the Diamond Apes decided to do an expedition to see what caused the expansion. They wanted to know why it continued to expand all this time, but who would've thought that they wouldn't be able to survive their trip.
The White Tigers, Polar Bears, and the Ice Hawks decided to guard the Icefield for the same reason. They wanted to prevent the Icefield's expansion as much as possible.
Since Zhao Hai didn't know about this, so he only knew that the place was very big. Since the time Tess had decided to move, Cai'er was already controlling the Blood Ghost Staff to fly and map the Icefield. But even if the Space had already mapped a huge chunk and its speed of mapping was not slow, they still hadn't found a single clue regarding the Beast God's Spear.
But Zhao Hai also didn't worry about it. He was aware that in such a place, wanting to find ten thousand people was not an easy matter.
In other places, ten thousand people might be a considerable number of people. But in this icy wilderness, that number had become insignificant. Moreover, there were countless roads that one can make in a place like this. So it was useless to find a direction. When one goes forward, it was difficult to know where one was heading. In such a place, who knows which direction the ten thousand Diamond Apes went.
Because of this, Zhao Hai moved slowly forward and scanned the place carefully. He was afraid of missing a single thing.
This kind of search was very boring. Zhao Hai couldn't understand what the Patriarch of the Diamond Ape tribe was thinking. Did he think that looking for the core of the Northern Icefield was very easy?
Zhao Hai didn't think about it too much since he still needed to constantly go forward day by day. As long as he discovered an anomaly, he would immediately stop and see even if it was just a half buried stone. Zhao Hai didn't want to miss a single thing.
For ten days, Zhao Hai discovered practically nothing. This made him feel more pressure, the feeling in his heart had gone worse and worse.
Laura and the others also discovered Zhao Hai's bad mood. They kept using methods to make him happy every day. Although their methods were useful, they knew that unless Zhao Hai finds the Beast God's Spear, these methods would just be temporary.
As time and days pass by, Zhao Hai was also getting more and more agitated. But he had very good control of himself, so it was only his words that got fewer and fewer as well as the wrinkle in his brows getting tighter and tighter. When Laura and the others looked at this, their hearts couldn't help but ache. Even if they want to help, there wasn't anything that they can do.
Zhao Hai wasn't in the Space most of the time anymore. He was currently on a small ship that he had made. His eyes were virtually stuck to the monitor.
It has been 13 days since Tess and the others had settled down. But even after that time, no clue has been spotted. Zhao Hai slightly shut his eye, he was feeling very tired.
He opened his eyes after some time, then he turned the monitor off. He knew that even if he didn't look at it, Cai'er would inform him if something special had come up.
Zhao Hai looked outside through the pale red color of the airship. The outside world was pure white, but who would've thought that behind this white facade was actually endless murder. It won't kill you from the beginning, but it will slowly suck you in and dissolve you into this white landscape, making you part of it forever.
While Zhao Hai was thinking about this, a white light suddenly flashed from a distance. Although he has the Staff's wall protecting him, Zhao Hai still couldn't help but shut his eyes.
Zhao Hai cannot help but get surprised, he was not familiar with the Icefield. And one could hardly see any other colors inside. There was no change, everything is white, even the sunshine was white. Zhao Hai wanted to know where this glare that blinded him came from.
After some time, Zhao Hai opened his eyes and proceeded to inspect the place carefully. It didn't take a long time for him to discover that there was a sparkling thing in the distance. Not only was it dazzling, it also emitted seven types of color, it was very beautiful.
Zhao Hai looked at the object and couldn't help but think about the toy prism that he had in his childhood life. The prism would take in light and disperse seven colors just like a rainbow.
Zhao Hai then saw that the object at the distance was a huge ice pillar, no wonder it can disperse seven colors. Zhao Hai stopped his thinking as he immediately urged the staff to fly towards it. He didn't care about any other place at this point. He now wants to see what was going on in front of him.
Before long, Zhao Hai was already getting closer and closer to the bright light to the point that the monitor can now pick it up. He immediately inspected the thing on the monitor and couldn't help but get shocked. This was because what he just saw was an incredibly huge ice pillar!
The thick ice pillar was just like Sun Wukong’s enlarged staff that was stabbed into the earth. It stood there as though it was connecting the sky and the ground.
Zhao Hai stared at this ice pillar, it looks like this pillar just appeared out of nowhere. There was nothing else all around it. It was as peculiar as seeing a huge tree in the Prairie.
After some time, Zhao Hai recovered. Then he called over Laura and the others and had them look at this marvelous sight.
After Laura and the others had come out, they were immediately attracted to the seven colored light in the distance. It took quite some time before they expressed their surprise. Then they shifted their gazes to the monitor to be shocked once more. This was the first time that they had seen such a thing.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, what is that strange thing?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't know, I just discovered it right now." Then he enlarged the image on the monitor. He wanted to have a closer look to see if the ice pillar had anything.
Then he noticed that there were several mounds below the ice pillar. These mounds were quite big, they were 10 meters tall and had about 30 meters in diameter.
Below the pillar were about 12 mounds. Zhao Hai looked at the mounds carefully, he didn't know the purpose of these things.
At this time, brilliant rays suddenly went out of one of the mounds. An ice beast then appeared to be digging itself out. Right, it was an ice beast. The same ice beasts that attacked the Diamond Ape tribe.
Zhao Hai had also been looking for clues about the ice beasts in the past few days, but he had not succeeded. He didn't expect to find traces of them in this place.
Zhao Hai's expression couldn't help but change since he had always felt that the ice beasts may have something to do with the Beast God's Spear. If this was the case, then does the ice pillar have any clues about it?'
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai immediately quickened his speed, he wanted to inspect the ice pillar as soon as possible. It didn't take too long for the monitor to be able to penetrate inside the ice pillar. Zhao Hai stared intently at the screen, his heart was already beating loudly.
The layers of ice looked just as hard as a copper wall. But Zhao Hai didn't worry about it, he just calmly watched the monitor. He now noticed that the monitor's distance to the ice was now closer compared to the ground.
At this time, the ice suddenly vanished from his sight. Zhao Hai couldn't help but get surprised at this development. He immediately stopped and looked around. Unexpectedly there was a space inside the ice pillar.
Zhao Hai stared blankly before he immediately had the Blood Ghost Staff move forward. He didn't expect the pillar to have a hollow space inside.
Zhao Hai then discovered that the ice pillar was very thick, and the space inside it was also very enormous. Although the pillar can only be hardly seen in the icefield, one would discover how grand it was the closer one approaches it.
The entire ice pillar was about 10 thousand meters in diameter, but its altitude would reach about 100 thousand. Such height was incredibly astonishing.
The pillar's wall was about several hundred meters thick and the space inside was very huge. This was the grandest place that Zhao Hai has ever been in.
The more the staff advanced the more shocked ZHao Hai was at this incomparably huge ice pillar. Just as he was shocked, he suddenly found some black spots that had appeared on the monitor.
Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but turn sharp as he saw these black spots. With a pure environment such as this, these black spots were peculiarities that attracted his attention.
One of these black spots was a Diamond Ape that was carrying a spear. Moreover, he also had his beast relative towering right behind him!
