Chapter 599 Dragon God
Yin Hu picked up his daughter, Yue Qing picked up his son, and the group ran wildly northward.
Behind them, from the healing crack, came the deep laughter of the Lord of the Abyss.
"The Dragon God's Tomb? Ha, perfect, saves me the trouble of searching..."
The daughter closed her eyes, the dragon-shaped mark on her forehead emitting a faint golden light. After a moment, she opened her eyes, her childish voice carrying a weight beyond her years: "I saw it."
"What do you see?" Yueqing squatted down and held her daughter's little hand.
“The Dragon God’s Graveyard.” The daughter raised her head, a golden light flashing in her eyes. “It’s located deep in the icy abyss of the far north, where blizzards rage year-round and temperatures are so low they can freeze space itself. It’s known as the ‘Forbidden Zone of Life’.”
Hu Feng's expression changed: "The Far North Ice Abyss?"
The son came over and said in his childish voice, "I saw it too! There are huge icebergs and man-eating snow monsters. Sister is right, it's very dangerous there."
Long Yan gasped, "The Far North Ice Abyss? Even the strongest warriors of the Dragon Clan dare not enter there easily. Are you sure the Dragon God's tomb is there?"
The daughter nodded earnestly: "The Dragon God chose that place as his final resting place to prevent tomb raiding. Moreover, the tomb is surrounded by the Dragon Clan's strongest killing formations, and without the Dragon God's inheritance, it's impossible to enter."
"A killing formation?" Hu Xiao frowned. "What kind of killing formation?"
The daughter tilted her head and thought for a moment: "There is... there is the Nine Dragons Locking Heaven Formation, and the Ice Soul Severing Spirit Formation, and..." She paused, her little face turning pale, "and the Destruction Formation personally set up by the Dragon God. Grandpa Dragon God said that the formation can destroy the entire Far North Ice Abyss, and it will be triggered if someone forcibly breaks in."
These words silenced everyone.
Hu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Then how do we get in?"
The daughter held up the dragon scale in her hand: "Use this. Grandpa Yuncang's scale has a mark left by the Dragon God, which can open the entrance to the tomb."
"But..." Hu Xiao hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
"Speak," Hu Feng said, looking at his son.
Tiger Roar gritted his teeth: "The far north ice abyss is at least three thousand miles from here, and along the way we have to pass through the territories of the wolf clan, the bear clan, and the no-man's land. In our current state, it's a question whether we can even make it there alive."
Silver Tiger said in a deep voice, "Not going means certain death, but going at least offers a glimmer of hope."
“But…” Hu Xiao glanced at Yue Qing and the two children, “What about the females and cubs? They simply can’t withstand the cold of the far north ice abyss.”
Yueqing raised her head, her eyes calm: "I can."
"You?" Hu Xiao was stunned.
“I’m an emergency room doctor, and I’ve seen more life and death than you can imagine.” Yue Qing stood up. “Moreover, I have a system space with enough supplies and medicines stored inside. As long as it’s not an immediate death, I can save it.”
Tiger Roar opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
Hu Feng looked at Long Yan: "What do you think?"
Long Yan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly knelt down: "Clan leader, I request to follow you to the far north ice abyss. Master gave his life to guide us, I cannot let him sacrifice himself in vain."
"Get up." Hu Feng helped Long Yan up. "You are our companion, why do you need to do this?"
Long Yan's eyes reddened, and he nodded emphatically.
Just then, the daughter suddenly spoke up: "There's one more thing."
"What?" Silver Tiger asked.
The daughter looked north, her little face filled with solemnity: "Grandpa Dragon God said that the Lord of the Abyss has his eye on me. He knows that I have the Heart of the Dragon God, so he will definitely try to capture me."
These words made everyone's hearts tighten.
Yueqing held her daughter's hand tightly: "If it dares to come, I'll make sure it never comes back."
“Mother…” The daughter raised her head, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes, “But Grandpa Dragon God said that the Lord of the Abyss is very, very strong, a hundred times stronger than Grandpa Yun Cang.”
"So what?" Yin Hu looked down at his daughter, his eyes resolute. "Father will not let anyone hurt you."
The son waved his little fist and said, "I'll protect my sister too!"
The daughter looked at her parents and younger brother, her eyes gradually welling up with tears, but she tried her best to hold them back and nodded emphatically.
Tiger Peak looked around at everyone: "Since it's decided, let's set off immediately. Tiger Roar, you take Tiger Rock and ten warriors back to the tribe, gather the tribal leaders, and tell them about the threat posed by the Lord of the Abyss."
Hu Xiao wanted to say something, but seeing his father's firm gaze, he finally nodded: "Yes."
"The rest of you, come with me to the far north ice abyss," Hu Feng said in a deep voice. "The journey is extremely dangerous, and you could lose your lives at any moment. I won't blame you if you want to back out now."
No one spoke.
Hu Feng nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, pack your gear, we'll set off in fifteen minutes."
Everyone immediately sprang into action. Yueqing retrieved medicinal herbs and food from her system space and distributed them to everyone. Yinhu checked the weapons to ensure that each one was in working order.
Just then, the dragon scale in the daughter's hand suddenly trembled violently.
"What's wrong?" Yueqing immediately squatted down.
The daughter closed her eyes, then opened them a moment later, her face pale: "Grandpa Dragon God said... the Lord of the Abyss has moved."
"What?" Hu Feng's expression changed drastically.
The daughter said in a trembling voice, "It has sent out the Abyss Legion, and their target is us. They will catch up in three days at most."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
Tiger Roar gritted his teeth: "Three days? It will take at least ten days to get from here to the far north ice abyss!"
"Then run." Yin Hu picked up his daughter. "Run day and night, as fast as you can."
Long Yan picked up his son and said, "I'll carry him on my back."
Yueqing glanced at the wound on the silver tiger's back, gritted her teeth, and took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from the system space: "Drink it, it will speed up the healing."
Silver Tiger took the drink, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp. The warm liquid flowed down his throat, sending a tingling sensation through his wound. He moved his shoulder, feeling the pain lessen considerably.
"Let's go!" Hu Feng ordered.
The group rushed northwards.
The daughter clung tightly to Yin Hu's clothes, glancing back towards the south. In the sky, a dark crack was slowly tearing open, and countless black dots poured out from it, densely packed, blotting out the sun.
"Father..." the daughter said in a trembling voice, "They've come."
Silver Tiger didn't turn around, but quickened his pace.
Behind them, the roars of the Abyss Legion grew ever closer.
Ahead, the frigid winds of the far north icy abyss could already be faintly felt... Silver Tiger stopped and looked back at the ever-growing black crack in the southern sky.
Countless black dots poured out of the cracks, like locusts passing through, blotting out the sky.
"Father..." His daughter clutched his clothes tightly, her face pale.
Silver Tiger withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go to the far north ice abyss."
"No!" Yueqing rushed over immediately, "You're injured like this, and you're going to a place like that..."
“There’s no time to hesitate.” Silver Tiger interrupted her, his gaze sweeping over everyone. “The Lord of the Abyss may descend again at any moment, and we must obtain the Sealing Chains before it does.”
He looked down at his daughter in his arms: "And with them here, we can get in."
