CHAPTER 737: CHAPTER 511: THE PURPOSE OF THE ICE WITCH (CHAPTER 1, 4000 WORDS)_3

...

The vast expanse of land.

Clad in shimmering white.

In the glacier region of the Extreme North, Qin Chu truly experienced how unbearably cold it was here, even more so than in the Royal City of the Duchy.

The raging cold wind seemed to turn into slicing Ice Blades in midair, hissing as they cut against the Magic Shield.

On the red Magic Shield, ripples appeared from time to time.

The Flame Shield wasn’t considered a profound magic.

But given Qin Chu’s powerful strength, even in these terrifyingly low temperatures, he could cope. A hazy red glow enveloped Qin Chu and Antasia beside him, sheltering them from the fierce winds outside, yet inside the shield, it felt warm.

Recalling the explanation he had given to Osvid, who was obsessively protective of his daughter, about why he had to bring Antasia to the glacier made Qin Chu still slightly nervous.

He had sweated profusely and finally persuaded the man.

At this moment, the temperature outside must have been around minus sixty or seventy degrees Celsius, a super low temperature that could turn any normal human into an ice sculpture in a very short time.

Here, there were no mountains, no vegetation, no animals; almost no life could withstand this soul-freezing cold.

What fell from the pale sky was not snowflakes, but tiny shards of ice, striking the Magic Shield and even making a crackling sound.

The two figures flew closely above the icy ground. Although their speed was somewhat affected, it was definitely not slow.

The Royal City of the Duchy was left far behind in no time and was no longer visible.

Armed with an approximate location provided by the Death Witch Ireta, Qin Chu planned to first seek out the Evil God Remains to quell the calamity in the Duchy, then search for the Ice Witch.

After all, the legend left by the Ice Witch was ambiguous. Finding her location or any traces left by her in this vast glacier was incredibly difficult.

As they ventured deeper, the cold wind became more terrifying.

One could even clearly discern the traces left by the howling wind in midair.

The wild wind formed one bizarre vortex after another, spinning violently, howling, devouring, roaring.

Even on the Flame Shield, one could distinctly hear a series of creaking noises, like metal friction, as if it might completely shatter at any moment.

After traveling for several hours, Qin Chu sensed that Antasia beside him was getting tired, and stopped, "Let’s rest for a bit."

Antasia was breathing slightly and nodded vigorously, annoyed with herself for not being able to keep up with Qin Chu’s pace. Indeed, she shouldn’t have come.

Qin Chu, however, didn’t think so much; he just glanced ahead and behind, his brows furrowed tight.

Although the chilly wind and snow impeded them, Qin Chu’s strength was strong enough to maintain a swift speed with his help.

In a few hours, they had sprinted several hundred kilometers.

But from start to finish, Qin Chu had not seen the transparent glacier under which lay the ten-thousand-meter-long remains, as described by Ireta.

"Antasia, can you still feel that pull?" Qin Chu asked casually.

"Yes," Antasia nodded vigorously. "It’s even stronger than before."

The Princess slightly tilted her head, seemingly sensing a call from her soul, "I can even hear a calling voice now, as if it were an illusion."

"In which direction?"

After sensing for a moment, Antasia pointed a little to the left of the direction they were advancing, "Over there."

It looked like the location of the Evil God Remains was not much different from here... rather, because of Qin Chu’s poor sense of direction and the vague position provided by Ireta, he wasn’t too sure about the actual location of the Evil God Remains.

It seemed that both the Ice Witch and the Evil God Remains were in the same area.

Wait a second... A sudden realization flashed through Qin Chu’s mind.

The true purpose of the Ice Witch—could it actually be the Evil God Remains?
