Early the next morning.
Levi came out of the state of practicing breathing techniques.
He was in high spirits and full of energy.
"Silver Sable Breathing Technique has reached its limit."
Levi——
Silver Sable Breathing Method: Level 5 (Extreme), special effects, intermediate speed.
…
"It can be integrated into the Siren Breathing Technique to break the limit of the Siren Breathing Technique."
Now Levi's Siren Breathing Technique is only 2 points away from breaking the limit.
Silver Sable Breathing can provide exactly 2 points.
Soon, the fusion was complete.
Now, the integration of these low-level breathing techniques is no burden to Levi.
Levi opened the panel again.
Levi——
Siren Breathing Technique: Level 7 (1/50000), top speed, shrinking and changing shape.
…
"Once I have mastered the Siren Breathing Technique to the eighth level, I will have extraordinary speed. By then, if I burst out with all my strength, I should be able to run a hundred meters in one second. The short-term burst speed will be almost as fast as a high-speed train."
It is truly incredible that a flesh and blood body can reach the speed of a high-speed train. This is the power of breathing techniques.
Of course, it is limited to a short burst, and it cannot be sustained for an ordinary speed-type knight.
But Levi has extraordinary endurance and extended burst time, so he should be able to last longer than other great knights.
Standing up, Levi began to waste time.
He wanted to fill his whale bag before setting off on his journey.
Not only that, Levi also added some food to the Gluttony Bag.
Since the Bag of Gluttony was not that reliable, Levi carried most of the valuables with him, except for some that were inconvenient to carry, and did not put them in the Bag of Gluttony.
After all preparations are done.
Levi brought the Demon Shark and called on the Wild Dog Knight.
Quietly left this city of ice and snow.
…
Inside Ice Valley City.
The demon hunting team led by Knight Kader arrived in the city again.
This time the team has 300 members.
He decided to go deeper to rescue more people.
But the current situation is a little bit wrong.
"How come we haven't encountered any snow monsters after walking for so long?"
"Yeah, what's going on? Where did the snow monsters go?"
The team members grumbled and complained.
Knight Kader looked solemn.
"Be careful, the snow monster may be hiding deep in the city," he said.
However, when their team went deeper into the city, he was shocked to find that the snow monsters were even rarer deep in the city.
"This is impossible. There are at least several thousand snow monsters here. How could they all disappear in just one month?"
Knight Kader frowned. This phenomenon was too strange and abnormal. It felt unreal to him, like a dream.
Then the team went deeper and deeper until they arrived in front of the castle in the center.
There are still sparse snow monsters.
"Could it be that those two people cleared out all the snow monsters in this city in just one month?"
"Even for two great knights, this would be difficult to accomplish."
It’s not like there haven’t been great knights here before.
However, although the Great Knight is strong, he can only kill 20 to 30 ordinary snow monsters a day at most. This is based on the fact that he has a high-purity mithril sword, and he needs to have a good rest and replenish his strength the next day.
After all, even a great knight cannot be besieged by too many snow monsters. He can only attack lone ones or small groups of three or five, otherwise his life may be in danger.
What's more, there are still many knight-level snow monsters in Ice Valley City, and some are even great knight-level.
This meant that no great knight was willing to take the thankless task of coming here to kill the snow monster.
But Levi has the armor of the Frost Giant, has polygonal warrior attributes, and possesses extraordinary endurance, and his durability far surpasses other great knights.
Although the Demon Shark's strength is average, it has an advantage. As long as it has enough Undead Cores, it can fight forever without getting tired.
The cooperation of these two tireless killing machines is several times more efficient than that of other great knights.
"Anyway, it's easier to save people now." Knight Kader rushed to rescue some survivors.
Then he hurried back to the Ice and Snow King City and told the Ice Queen Elsa what he had seen.
In the royal city,
Inside the spectacular ice and snow palace.
Queen Elsa, wearing a gorgeous ice-blue dress, sat on the frozen throne, chin in hand, as if in deep thought.
In front of her was the kneeling Knight Kader.
"You mean, the snow monsters in Ice Valley City have been basically eliminated?" asked the queen.
“Yes, Your Majesty, a month ago, there were two great knights in the demon hunting team I led. They moved freely after entering Ice Valley City.
Now it seems that these two great knights must have killed these snow monsters."
Knight Kader said.
"He is not from our country." said Queen Elsa.
"No, the accent sounds like someone from the Emerald Kingdom."
"What's the situation at Blue Feather Castle?" Elsa asked.
"As for Blue Feather Castle, I am weak and dare not go in to investigate, but judging from the sounds, there should not be many snow monsters left." Kader said.
"Hurry up and contact these two great knights and ask them to come to my palace for a chat." Queen Elsa seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
If these two are willing to work for him, the situation of the snow demon crisis will be much better.
So no matter what the cost, she will try to get it.
"Okay, Your Highness. I'll send someone to look for it right away."
Knight Kader hurried down.
Then he sent troops to start a massive search in the city.
What a pity.
At this time, Li Wei had already finished his work and left, hiding his achievements and fame.
The Icicle Islands are still further north.
There is basically no vegetation along the way.
All I see is desolation.
Within a few days, Levi and his companions arrived at the northernmost city of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Jackdaw City.
The city is famous for the white crows that fly overhead.
When Levi arrived, a group of white crows were sharing the body of a frozen person.
However, so far, there seems to be no snow monster disaster in this city. Along the way, Levi did not see any snow monster.
Jackdaw City is a small city with a total population of less than 10,000.
Levi and his friends came here mainly to find a local guide and translator who was familiar with the Icicle Islands and the natives there.
The farthest the Wild Dog Knight had ever been was Jackdaw City. He had never been to the Icicle Islands, and he didn't even know the indigenous languages.
With the power of money, Levi and his team quickly found the right candidate.
Professor Bruce is a scholar who studies minority cultures and has lived in Jackdaw City for many years.
Levi and his friends were sitting in a private room of an ordinary tavern.
"The Great Ice Ape King?"
Professor Bruce drank strong liquor and listened to Levi's description.
"The Great Ice Ape King is the totem belief of the Insai people. Are you planning to take over the Great Ice Ape King?" Professor Bruce asked.
"Besides the Great Ice Ape King, are there other ice apes on the Icicle Islands?" Levi asked.
“No, the Ice Apes were quite widespread in the Far North a few hundred years ago, but later on, for some unknown reason, they all became extinct, and it happened very suddenly.
It was only after studying the culture of the Insai people that I learned that there was still one last living ice ape on the Icicle Islands.
That ice ape escaped the extinction event and survived in that otherworldly land. It became stronger, longer-lived, and more intelligent than ordinary ice apes, and even became the faith of the Insai people.
There exists a prehistoric giant beast called the Armored Mammoth on the Icicle Islands. This beast is as powerful as Dracomon and is very dangerous.
The Insai people were often bullied by these giant beasts until the ice ape appeared and drove away the beasts.
Later, the Ice Ape gradually became the totem belief of the Insai people. They would regularly pay tribute to the Ice Ape and provide large amounts of food in order to please the Ice Ape.
The ice apes helped them drive away the armored mammoths and some foreign enemies that invaded their tribe.
So I think it’s a symbiotic relationship.”
Professor Bruce spoke eloquently about his research field.
After hearing this, Levi was certain that the Great Ice Ape King was the ice ape he needed.
"Professor Bruce, please lead the way," Levi said.
Jackdaw City is not far from the Icicle Islands.
A day later, Levi and his friends arrived at the Icicle Islands.
It is not so much an archipelago as it is a series of mountains standing on the ice field.
There is no sea.
Because it is too cold here, the sea water freezes all year round, forming an endless ice field, and those mountains are formed by the continuous squeezing and freezing of these ice layers.
There are people who can survive here, Levi has to admire human adaptability.
Professor Bruce took Levi to meet the tribal chief of the Insai people.
There are very few people in the competition, only about a thousand people in total.
Levi saw that they were all wearing thick fur clothing.
Professor Bruce didn't know what he was talking to the chief. In the end, the chief looked angry and Professor Bruce left in anger.
"The chief disagrees to take us to see the Great Ice Ape King, saying that we will disturb the Great Ice Ape King's rest." Professor Bruce said.
"Give these to him." Levi took out a hundred gold coins and handed them to Professor Bruce.
Professor Bruce took the money and went into the chief's house.
Finally, he smiled and said, "Money really works. The chief said that he will take us to see the Great Ice Ape King tomorrow morning."
Gold really is omnipotent.
Levi couldn't help but sigh.
Having money means you can do whatever you want.
Because of the power of money, the chief not only agreed to take Levi and the others to see the Great Ice Ape King, but also arranged a room for them to stay in.
Levi naturally didn't sleep, but continued to practice.
The next day, the chief arrived at Levi and his friends' door early.
"Let's go." Professor Bruce said, feeling a little excited.
He had never seen the Great Ice Ape King either.
It must be very difficult to become the totem belief of a human tribe.
The Great Ice Ape King was perched on the tallest iceberg in the Icicle Islands. Not long after, the chief brought Levi and the others here.
He also brought a lot of food, mostly meat.
Tribes like theirs can only survive by hunting.
If you want other food, you have to go outside to exchange it.
Therefore, sacrifices are usually made with meat.
The chief called out, as if trying to communicate something.
At the same time, similar shouts were heard from high up on Icicle Mountain.
After hearing the voice, the chief led Levi and the others to climb the mountain.
Mortals like the Chief and Professor Bruce can only climb mountains with special spiked shoes, but Levi and the Demon Shark can just leap lightly, jump out from a high place, then stab their swords into the ground and continue climbing.
When Levi reached the top of the mountain, he saw a deep and dark ice cave.
I guess this must be the residence of the Great Ice Ape King.
Levi was not in a hurry to move forward because his spider sense actually sent a slight sense of danger.
This shows that the Great Ice Ape King should possess the strength of a great knight.
Don't rush into anything until you understand the situation.
Wait until the chief and others come up.
Levi followed the chief calmly.
The chief took three steps at a time and bowed every five steps as he headed towards the cave where the Ice Ape King was.
Finally, at the exit of the cave.
In the darkness, Levi saw a pair of dark green eyes, as big as copper bells.
Then, the owner of the eyes slowly walked out of the cave.
A huge monster about two stories tall appeared in front of Levi.
Not to mention mortals like the Chief and Professor Bruce.
Even the Wild Dog Knight would instinctively tremble in fear in front of this terrifying beast.
Exaggerated and knotted muscles, bulging abdominal muscles, round and powerful arms, and white hair under the biting frost.
The chief immediately prostrated himself on the ground and brought the food to the Ice Ape King.
The Great Ice Ape King did not enjoy it as usual, but looked at Levi and the Demon Shark coldly.
It felt threatened in front of these two tiny people.
Levi smiled slightly, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
The chief asked Levi and the others to kneel down before the Ice Ape King.
How could Levi kneel down to a beast? He said nothing, and left silently with the magic shark and wild dog.
Only after seeing the two men leave did the Great Ice Ape King begin to enjoy the food.
It expressed its dissatisfaction and was very angry about the chief's behavior of bringing strangers to its place!
The chief was feeling bitter, and he didn't want to bring a stranger with him.
But he gave too much.
In the next few days, Levi, the magic shark and the wild dog all disappeared from the chief's sight. He thought that the group of outsiders just wanted to see the totem and left after seeing it.
In fact, Levi did not leave, but was lurking around.
"This is the last Ice Ape. In order to obtain Ice Ape blood continuously, I can only capture this big Ice Ape King alive. I can't kill it. Otherwise, the Ice Ape blood will not be enough." Li Wei thought to himself.
If you capture it alive, you will have your own supplies and can draw its blood regularly, just like the three brothers, and get a steady supply of secret medicine.
Moreover, as the Great Ice Ape King is a more advanced ice ape, the secret medicine made from its blood must be far more effective than that of ordinary ice apes.
The Great Ice Ape King is a ferocious beast of the Great Knight level, so it must be very difficult to capture him alive.
The fact that this thing can become a totem of a human tribe shows that it is quite intelligent.
Levi has to think carefully about how to capture him alive.
"As long as we can capture it alive, we can slowly use our ambition to tame it when we get back. I think we can tame it completely."
"The Ice Ape King's strength should be its power. I have to weaken its power first, or give it the Human-Faced Spider Kiss to control it. No, forget it. Don't let the poison contaminate its blood."
If you want to tame a giant beast of this level, you have to defeat it first.
Defeating the Ice Ape King is no problem, but capturing him alive is much more difficult.
"Oh, right, the Book of Kungu records a recipe for making an anesthetic. I can try making it. Although it is for human use, if I increase the dosage, the Great Ice Ape King should also be able to be affected."
Thinking of this, Levi returned to Jackdaw City overnight.
He scrambled together some utensils and purchased some medicinal herbs.
Prepare to start making anesthetics.
This anesthetic is called a "sleeping drug".
It was invented by Kungu and is used when performing surgery on some patients.
With Levi's current level of fourth-level pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Making anesthetics is easy.
Before long, he had prepared enough potion for a hundred people.
These doses should be enough to make the Ice Ape King drowsy.
Then Levi rented a forge shop and personally forged special shackles with fine iron and mithril.
In this way, when the Ice Ape King was asleep, Levi took direct action, and the Demon Shark with extraordinary power temporarily suppressed the Ice Ape King, and then Levi put shackles on the Ice Ape King.
"That should be all right."
Carrying poison and shackles, Levi returned to the iceberg where the Ice Ape King was.
In order to facilitate his actions, he chose to act in the early morning.
This is the coldest time of the day.
People in those tribes usually sleep in their houses and don't come out.
Although the Great Ice Ape King doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold, he must be sleeping too.
Wild Dog Knight and Professor Bruce have returned to Jackdaw City.
Levi waited silently, and in the early hours of the morning, he quietly climbed up the iceberg.
Looking at the dark cave, he first prepared the materials for the Guardian Seal and the Dragon Power Seal for himself. The Guardian Seal can be used for self-protection, and since the Dragon Power Seal can attack spiritual and intangible evil spirits, it can surely cause an impact on the spirit of the Ice Ape King. Even if the effect is not obvious, it can weaken the Ice Ape King's strength as much as possible without killing him. This is the effect Levi wants to achieve.
At the same time, black air filled Levi's body, and he took out the Pride of the Lion King from the Bag of Gluttony.
If the previous plan didn't work, Levi would break the Ice Ape King's legs with a hammer and then take him back by force.
With the Great Ice Ape King's physique, he would be able to recover soon if he went back and used the holy medicine he refined to heal its wounds.
The Demon Shark followed Levi and he came to the cave of the Great Ice Ape King.
However, there was no response from the advanced vibration perception, and the same was true for the spider sense.
"Could it have run away?" Levi couldn't help but curse in his heart. Sure enough, when he went in to take a look, the Ice Ape King was gone and the cave was empty.
This guy is indeed very intelligent. He may have sensed the threat posed by Levi, so he ran away overnight.
However, with the footprints similar to those of Bigfoot, the ice ape king, Levi finally found a glimmer of hope. He followed the footprints and traveled all night. Not long after, Levi followed the footprints and came to an iceberg canyon.
Outside this iceberg canyon, in addition to the footprints of the Ice Ape King, there are also footprints of another giant beast that look like elephant footprints.
"Hmm? Why is the Great Ice Ape King looking for the Armored Mammoth? Aren't they enemies?"
Levi sneaked in quietly and finally found that the Great Ice Ape King was holding a pile of food and enjoying it with the armored mammoth face to face.
"Poor Insai people, they were fooled by two beasts. These two guys are really smart."
