Chapter 2910 Altar
After what seemed like forever, the clouds of mist were getting lesser and lesser. Although manyhad gotten beast cores, they had exhausted much of their strength.
Some were even injured. Clearly, the overall power of the people had decreased.
“The mist is gone. Can we enter the palace now?” Jerison asked.
“Wait,” Jared answered, still holding Jerison back.
“Wait, wait, wait. We've been waiting forever! What are we waiting for?”
Jerison could not comprehend what Jared's aim was.
Jared said nothing as he silently looked at the two Demonic Cultivators.
If they entered the palace, Jared would do so as well. If they did not, he would stay outside.
There must be more dangers within the palace, and clearly, these two Demonic Cultivators arefamiliar with the area.
Meanwhile, some of the people had already entered the palace and were letting out shrieks ofpleasant surprise.
When the people outside heard those sounds, they could not help but enter as well.
Soon, aside from Jared's group, the others had also entered. Seeing this, the two DemonicCultivators exchanged a glance and followed suit.
“This palace is absolutely stunning, and it houses the treasure we seek. If we don't move quickly,we might miss our chance to claim it.”
As the two spoke, they hastily made their way into the palace.
Jared waved his hand and instructed, “Come on, we're going in too.”
Jared led his group into the palace.
Upon stepping into the palace, they were left in awe by the spectacle that lay before them.
Within the colossal palace, there were colorful ice coffins, with five immense ice coffins positioned inthe center.
The ice coffins were not arranged in a row; they were arranged in a circle. Right in the center of thecircle was a strange crimson pattern that looked as though someone had drawn it with blood.
Inside these ice coffins lay the bodies of massive beasts that appeared as if they were in a deepslumber.
“Those are ice soul beasts!” Vasily exclaimed with sudden excitement as he laid eyes on the beasts'bodies.
“Ice soul beasts?” Jared furrowed his brows.
If this was indeed the location of the treasure, the presence of numerous ice soul beasts' bodiesraised a perplexing question.
Furthermore, where was the treasure?
Although the palace was very huge, a single glance revealed that there was no treasure to be foundanywhere within its confines.
“Are these ice soul beasts?”
Jerison quickly stepped closer, thrilled to observe the bodies through the ice coffins.novelbin
Until that moment, ice soul beasts had been nothing but a legend to him.
Ice soul beasts lived thousands of meters beneath the ice, never venturing to the surface wherehumans dwelt. As a result, very few had ever laid eyes on an ice soul beast up close.
“I've read about them in an old book. This is exactly what an ice soul beast should look like. Butthere are five beasts here, sealed by ice coffins too. What happened here? Is this place really thespot where our ancestors kept their treasures?”
Vasily found it hard to fathom that the forefather of the Archaic Body cultivators had been able to killfive ice soul beasts. It sounded utterly implausible.
Jared checked the five ice coffins before letting his gaze land on the red pattern.
The pattern looked like an arcane array but not at the same time. Jared tried to study it with hisspiritual sense but he couldn't.
“You know, this place seems more like an altar to me,” Sunny said, walking over.
The five ice soul beasts could be the sacrificial offerings, and the pattern in the center might be partof some ritual.
“Who did this? Why did they put in so much effort for an altar? What is the purpose of this ritual?”
Jared was perplexed. Apart from the beasts and the coffins, there seemed to be no magical items tobe found in this place.
Who would possibly come thousands of meters under the ice for a ritual?
