Arcane: The Gods Want Me to Pick a Route

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Why Did You Eat It?!

The Ice Sea was not only an endless expanse of ice. The temperature here was indeed the lowest in the Freljord, but a group of ocean creatures lived and moved here, destroying the formation of the ice. Because of that, apart from the parts connected to land, the rest of the Ice Sea was similar to any other ocean.

Nunu and Willump were "riding" on a sheet of ice. The little guy’s heart was in his throat. This was his first time drifting across the sea. Before this, Nunu had never even ridden a boat on a lake.

The fact that he was not crying already showed the adventurous spirit of a little explorer. If it had been any other child, placed in an environment like this, they would have been unable to hold back their tears long ago.

Willump’s huge claws paddled through the seawater like oars, continuously pushing the floating ice toward their destination.

"Willump, do you think we can succeed?"

"Roar!" Willump called out loudly.

"Right, we can succeed! We can’t look down on ourselves!" Encouraged by Willump, Nunu nodded and spoke with force.

They were the snowfield duo, and they were going to become great heroes! They, they would never stop moving forward just because of something like this.

They drifted aimlessly. Nunu hid in Willump’s arms and pulled up the hood of his clothes. From a distance, it would look as if a big snowman was carrying a little snowman as they drifted across the sea.

At the same time, deep in the northern reaches of the Ice Sea, beneath the surface where ice crystals floated, a massive living being suddenly opened its eyes.

An incomparably huge head surfaced from the sea, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked toward the sky.

"What are you here for?"

"To persuade me to surrender? I’ll say it again. I will never submit to the Three Sisters the way you did, and I will never side with humans!"

Along with that voice, the creature’s enormous head finally rose completely above the ice. It was an incomparably huge shark, red from head to tail, its body covered in countless massive scars. Among them, several scars were clearly different from the others. They had been received recently and still looked fresh.

With disgust in his eyes, the blood shark looked at the white fox that had appeared in the sky and said hatefully, "You people abandoned the glory of the Old Ways, abandoned the dignity of being gods, and degraded yourselves into tools of humans! And you still have the nerve to show your faces before me?"

"Heh, do you think I wanted to come find you?" The chubby snow-white fox rolled her eyes and stretched her body in the air. White’s voice also carried a trace of disgust. Just as the blood shark disliked her, she disliked the blood shark too.

A god who lived on land and a being who lived in the sea naturally had nothing much to say to each other.

But White had come with a task. She lazily said, "Where’s Oldtooth?"

"That big octopus?" The blood shark opened its bloody maw. Bits of flesh clung to his huge teeth as he said disdainfully, "After Kinl died, that coward hid away. Him? He’s trash!"

"If he had joined me and the giant whale back then, part of the land would already belong to us now!" the blood shark said unhappily.

"Yes, in that case, the Seal Sister wouldn’t have been able to stop you. You really could have destroyed part of the land and brought the sea into the Freljord. But afterward? Weren’t you afraid the Witch would come after you one by one? Weren’t you afraid she would retaliate?" White looked at the blood shark as if she were looking at an idiot.

The blood shark fell silent.

"I’ll be honest with you. I didn’t come to find you because I wanted to. This is the Witch’s will. I came according to the Witch’s instructions."

"Get lost!" the blood shark said coldly and directly.

"I can’t beat the Witch, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of her. If she really comes to the Ice Sea, then I’ll just hide. I don’t believe she can directly freeze the entire Ice Sea. Does she have that much magic?"

"..." White looked at the blood shark, the corners of her fox mouth twitching slightly twice.

He spoke so grandly, his tone so bold, but when all was said and done, wasn’t he still admitting defeat?

Seriously, these ancient gods from Volibear’s faction were all better than the last at putting on airs. They were the kind of people who could throw away their lives just to look impressive!

They were stupid to the core!

"I don’t want to waste words with you. I came here to find Oldtooth. Tell me where Oldtooth is, and I’ll leave."

"You think I’ll tell you? Although I’m not allied with Oldtooth, when dealing with you land creatures, we ocean creatures will still stick together. I’ll never tell you where he is." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Aren’t you good at seals? Aren’t you good at finding hidden lairs opened up by others? Then look for him yourself. Take your time exploring. Why ask me?"

"Ugh, sure enough, there’s no way to communicate with you people. In that case, I’ll just have to invite her out. I’m too lazy to keep talking to you." Seeing that the blood shark was unwilling to reveal Oldtooth’s whereabouts no matter what, White helplessly spread her two little paws. She truly was too lazy to waste more breath on this kind of fellow.

The blood shark froze, then opened his mouth and said, "What do you me—"

He did not finish speaking before he began thrashing in the seawater. His hundred-meter body stirred up waves and dragged the small pieces of floating ice on the sea down into the water. He roared furiously, "No, you can’t do this!"

"Volibear won’t allow you to do this! You’re destroying the rules between ocean creatures and land creatures!"

"Rules? From the moment you set your sights on the Freljord and planned to bring the waves onto the land, those rules were already broken by you." A cold voice appeared. A tall woman with white hair and closed eyes emerged from an ice mirror, her hands elegantly placed before her lower abdomen. She continued in an icy voice, "Besides, Volibear, where is he now?"

"I just happen to still have an unsettled score with him."

Lissandra’s voice was cold and carried an aura of extreme frost. With each word she spoke, the turbulent sea of the Ice Sea froze instantly, centered around White. With a sharp crack, a layer of ice extended tens of thousands of meters outward.

The blood shark’s enormous body was frozen in ice. Soon, only his eyes could still move. A bizarre, thick, short, and fat-headed shark appeared on the Ice Sea, sealed within a massive block of ice.

"You, you can’t do this. Ornn, right, Ornn!"

"Don’t mention that old goat to me." Lissandra raised her hand, and countless ice spikes appeared behind her. She continued coldly, "Right now, Anivia has vanished, Volibear is hiding, and in the Freljord, I am the one who decides things."

"You thought nothing would happen just because you hid in the Ice Sea?" The corners of Lissandra’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking smile. At this moment, she looked exactly like a female villain as she threatened the blood shark. "The only reason I haven’t come looking for you is because I had more important matters to deal with. I hold grudges. I hold grudges very, very badly. Surely none of you have forgotten how you all talked behind my back about how petty I am?"

Fear surged in the blood shark’s huge pupils. He looked at Lissandra in terror.

Just as Lissandra said, the current Freljord was dominated by her alone.

After demigods such as White, Rilfen, Jie, and the Seal Sister leaned toward Lissandra, there was no longer any force in the Freljord capable of resisting the Witch’s rule. Even if those of them in the northern sea united, they could only fight White and the others to a standstill at best.

And in this vast northern sea, not a single god was Lissandra’s match.

Over ten thousand years, the Witch had grown far stronger than they could imagine.

Unless Anivia revived, Ornn came out from the mountains, and Volibear recovered from his wounds, the Witch was invincible in the Freljord.

"What do you want...?"

"Find Oldtooth and make it give up one tentacle. Then I can let go of what you did before. No, you also have to prepare yourselves to participate in a war."

"You want to control us?" The blood shark’s eyes grew panicked, because White was right beside them licking her fur. With her here, after the Witch froze and restrained him, White could absolutely place a seal on him. Then he would become the Witch’s slave.

Of course, that was not what the blood shark wanted!

He was a god, a god!

If he was controlled, what kind of god would he still be?!

"Stop those thoughts of yours. Otherwise, I really will be willing to do that," Lissandra said coldly after seeing through the blood shark’s thoughts. Then she continued, "I don’t intend to control you. As for the battle I need you to participate in, that is also for your own sake."

"If I could, I wouldn’t want you people to set foot on the Freljord at all!"

Nine thousand years ago, as the leader who opposed the Freljordian demigods, Lissandra had already dealt with these fellows countless times.

Especially the ocean creatures. Their greed far surpassed Volibear’s. Volibear’s feelings toward humans were complicated. On one hand, he despised humans for their weakness and incompetence. On the other hand, he was also delighted by receiving humans’ praise and faith.

To put it in Zaunite terms, Volibear was a guy who cared about saving face and loved acting impressive.

The blood shark’s eyes moved, and he immediately realized what Lissandra wanted to do. His expression changed drastically as he said, "You, you want us to help you fight the Void?!"

"You want to release the seals? Are you insane? Anivia shattered herself to freeze several of those things, and you paid the price of half the lives in the Freljord to seal them away. And now you want to release the seals?"

"Shut your mouth, blood shark." Lissandra was getting a little impatient. In the past, she would not have been impatient. After all, everyone here was a god. Some face still had to be given.

But now...

With so many helpers behind her, Lissandra no longer needed to deal with them as carefully as before.

Just like Logan had said, anyone who dared come out and make trouble would be dealt with.

"This battle is also helping you. The seals will be undone one day. Do you want to wait until their power recovers, until they break through the seals themselves, before dealing with them? Or do you think that after they come out, they won’t affect the northern sea?"

"..."

"Hesitant and indecisive. You lot really are trash! You were trash ten thousand years ago, and you’re still trash now!" Lissandra rebuked him. Then she continued, "Put aside your worries. I don’t intend to make you take the vanguard. If there’s no need, you can all obediently stay in the northern sea."

"That’s all? And with that, you’ll let what happened before... go?" the blood shark asked cautiously.

"Heh."

"When have I ever lied to anyone?" Lissandra lifted her head.

Blood shark: "..."

White, who had been grooming her fur to the side, also turned her head. Then, after sensing Lissandra’s mind focusing on her, White quickly lowered her head and began licking her fur again.

No wonder the Witch could become stronger.

Being shameless really did make people stronger!

After a long silence, the blood shark spoke.

"I understand. I’ll tell you where Oldtooth is. No, I’ll take you to find Oldtooth! And the giant whale too!" The blood shark seemed to remember something.

The gods of the northern sea did not have good relationships with each other. The blood shark and the giant whale had attacked the Freljord together before only because their interests aligned, not because their relationship was especially good. Because of that, after being taught a lesson by the Witch, the blood shark naturally wanted those guys to taste this feeling too!

"Heh."

Five days later, on the Ice Sea.

Nunu sat on Willump’s head, lowering his head in thought. On Willump’s body, wrapped around his fat belly, was a thick, long thing. That thing was coiled around Willump’s belly. It was grayish black, thin at the front, and thicker and longer toward the end, with huge, rough suckers on it. Yes, it was an enormous octopus leg.

It was around a dozen meters long, and this was only a small section of that enormous octopus leg.

"Willump, what do you think that was all about?"

Nunu could not hold it in anymore. He lowered his head and looked at Willump as he asked.

This whole thing was strange!

He had clearly thought he would have to go through a bitter fight, and might even have to risk his life to get the octopus leg. But what had happened?

On the morning of their second day at sea, Nunu and Willump had encountered a friendly big shark. It was bright red, and its eyeballs alone were bigger than Willump.

And on the evening of the second day, they had encountered an incomparably huge whale.

Then these two enormous creatures, practically great monsters from an epic story, helped him and went together to deal with that big octopus!

This left Nunu confused.

Was he... really that popular? ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Roar!"

"You don’t know either? Forget it, let’s not think about it. Anyway, we got the octopus leg! Once we give it to the fox, we can get the thing, and then we’ll go back and find the green guy!"

"Willump, I’m about to see my mom!"

"She’ll definitely like you too. Don’t worry!"

"Roar!"

On the floating ice, Nunu began singing a ballad.

A few days later, Nunu finally returned to the base of the mountains leading to Winged Mountain.

Opening his mouth, Nunu was about to shout for that guy, but just as he opened his mouth, Nunu realized he did not know the other person’s name.

So Nunu froze there foolishly.

But the next moment, that guy’s voice rang out from behind Nunu.

"Did you bring everything back?"

Nunu turned around and saw the figure wreathed in green light, then immediately walked over. In his hand, he held a small blue teardrop-shaped gem, while Willump held the jurlberry in both huge claws.

Logan looked at the jurlberry and nodded in satisfaction. "Give everything to me."

"Here." Nunu stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hand, handing the gem to Logan.

Willump also walked up and handed the fruit to Logan.

With one hand, Logan took the gem. With the other, he held the jurlberry that was as large as Nunu’s head.

Right in front of Nunu, Logan suddenly raised the jurlberry and brought it toward his mouth.

"Ah!"

Nunu instantly cried out in alarm.

The next moment, his stunned voice rang out.

"Why, why did you eat it?!"
