When Thales heard Zhao Haiâs words, he could not help but look dejected. &Quot; âMy clan is a sinner. Even if we return to the plains, we wonât be welcomed. Sir, please come to my house for a chat.â
&Quot; yes, â Zhao Hai replied and followed Thales back to his house. Along the way, the other members of the diamond ape tribe came out to watch Zhao Hai, treating him as a rare opponent. Zhao Hai could not help but smile bitterly when he saw this.
Soon, Zhao Hai followed Thales to his home. His home was very ordinary, no different from the homes of the other King Kong apes.
There were a total of seven diamond apes living below their house. Four of them were big while the other three were smaller. Three of the smaller diamond apes had followed Zhao Hai into Thales âhouse, while the rest had been chased out by him.
Thales invited Zhao Hai to the second floor to meet his family. The population of Thales âfamily was very simple. He and his wife, as well as his son and daughter-in-law, were the generation of three children.
After Zhao Hai greeted his family members, they sat down. Thales looked at Zhao Hai and said, â &Quot; Mister, you said that you were entrusted by the beast King to come to the icy Plains of the extreme north in search of the beast God spear? â
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; thatâs right. Iâve always been on good terms with the beastmen. Something big might happen on the continent this time, so the beast King asked me to come to the icy Plains of the extreme north to find the beast God spear. &Quot;
Thales sighed and said, â âBack then, our clan lost our divine weapon in the ice plains of the extreme north. This was our clanâs greatest mistake. In the end, our clan was exiled to the ice plains of the extreme north by the entire beast clan. It has been 5000 years since then. According to the clanâs internal history records, our clan initially entered the ice plains of the extreme north with the intention to die. If we couldnât find the beast God spear, we would rather die in the ice plains of the extreme north. In the end, only 5000 of our clan managed to reach this volcano and survive here. All these years, our clan has never given up on searching for the divine weapon, but the heavens do not grant us our wishes. In the past, our clan was still able to search everywhere with the volcano as the center, but in the past thousand years, we were unable to do so. We donât know when it started, but some ice beasts and ice men appeared in the ice plains of the extreme north. These things attacked us with all their might, and in the end, we had no choice but to build a city to defend against them. As a result, the search for the divine weapon was delayed.â
Only then did Zhao Hai realize that the king Kong ape tribe had suffered such heavy losses. He had stored more than 700000 King Kong ape corpses in his dimensional space, and less than 5000 of them had fled to the mountain. It was almost as if they had been exterminated. After more than 5000 years of development, they had only grown to a population of less than 100000. It could be seen how much they had paid for the divine weapon.
However, Zhao Hai did not have the time to think about this. From Thales âwords, Zhao Hai had already heard that the diamond ape tribe had yet to find the beast God spear. In other words, the beast God spear was still somewhere in the icy Plains of the extreme north.
âWhat did the patriarch say about the ice beasts and ice men?â Zhao Hai quickly asked. I see that your city walls have signs of being attacked. Is it those things?â
Thales sighed and said, â âThatâs right. According to the clanâs records, these things appeared more than 1000 years ago. I donât know what they are, but their entire bodies are made of ice. Some of them are in the shape of humans, some of them are in the shape of beasts, but they can move freely. However, they donât seem to have high intelligence, but they are very difficult to deal with. If we donât smash their heads, they wonât die. Fortunately, this volcano has weakened their strength. Otherwise, our King Kong ape clan would have been exterminated a long time ago.â
Zhao Hai was taken aback. This was the first time he had heard of such a creature. He looked at the patriarch in confusion and asked, â âClan leader, youâre saying that the entire body of that thing is made of ice?â
Thales nodded and said, â thatâs right. Their entire bodies are made of ice. The ice is transparent, and after killing them, they can immediately turn into water. They donât look like living creatures, but their combat power is not weak. &Quot;
Zhao Hai furrowed his brows. This was the first time he had heard of such a strange thing. It seemed like the name of the forbidden land of the Northern Ice Field was not an undeserved one.
Thales looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, â âItâs good that youâre here. I think those ice men will attack again in the next few days. Youâll understand when you see them for yourself.â
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; okay, Iâve also traveled for a long time. I need a good rest, so Iâll disturb the patriarch for a while. &Quot;
&Quot; what are you saying, Sir? â Thales said with a smile. &Quot; youâre our first guest in five thousand years. Of course weâll treat you well. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and looked at Thales. &Quot; &Quot; clan leader, on my way here, I discovered many corpses of the diamond ape clan. Iâve already brought these corpses here. I wonder how you would like to deal with them? â
Thales was stunned. He stood up with a whoosh and said with a drastic change in expression, â âSir, did you really bring all the corpses?â
Zhao Hai also stood up and nodded, â &Quot; yes, Iâve brought them all. To be honest, itâs really amazing. Thereâre over 700000 corpses in total. If not for my space-teleportation equipment, I couldnât bring them here at all. Clan head, I really admire your clansmen. Since your clan could do this, no matter how big the crime is, youâve redeemed it. &Quot;
Hearing Zhao Haiâs words, Thales was stunned for a moment before he suddenly burst into tears. &Quot; âMy ancestors, do you hear me? Someone said that your sins have been redeemed and you can rest in peace.â Thales âwife, son, and daughter-in-law were also getting excited.
Zhao Hai knew that the matter of the beast God spear had always been a sore point for the king Kong ape clan. He said this to comfort the king Kong ape clan, but he was not lying. He really did think that the king Kong ape clan had atoned for all their sins.
It took a while for Thales to calm down. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, â âSir, can you let us see the remains of my ancestor?â
Zhao Hai nodded and walked out. Thales âfamily quickly followed him. When they came out, they realized that there were many King Kong apes standing outside the door of Thalesâ house. These King Kong apes were all looking at Zhao Hai curiously. Zhao Hai could not help but smile bitterly. He felt like he was a monkey in a Zoo, being watched by people.
Thales looked at these people and said in a deep voice, â &Quot; everyone, follow me to the city wall. Mr. Zhao Hai said that he brought the remains of our ancestors who died on the way here. Letâs go and pay our respects to our ancestors! &Quot;
Upon hearing Thales âwords, the surrounding Golden Apes were stunned. Then, there was an uproar. Almost everyone ran to tell each other, and soon, everyone in the city knew.
Zhao Hai knew that the beastmen valued their ancestors. It was a great favor for them that Zhao Hai had brought their ancestors âremains.
Zhao Hai did not waste any time. He followed Thales and the rest up the city wall and down the wall. They walked to the open space outside the city wall and released the petrified corpses.
Thales looked at the corpses on the ground, and his tears flowed again. He walked gently to one of the corpses, looked at it, and sobbed, â &Quot; thatâs right, this is the body of my ancestor. At that time, they were in a hurry and were afraid that the body would be damaged by the cold light of the ice plains in the extreme north. So, they thought of this method and placed the body in the stomach of the diamond body to preserve it. After the diamond ape dies, its skin will slowly petrify, which can protect the bodyâs integrity. This is a special burial method used during that special period. &Quot;
Zhao Hai did not say anything. He only released a hundred or so bodies and stopped. The square outside the city wall was not big and could not fit so many bodies. Therefore, he only released a hundred or so bodies and said to Thales, â âChief, there are too many bodies here, we canât put them all here. What do you think?â
Thales looked at the bodies and sighed. &Quot; âIâll have to trouble you to take these bodies down the mountain and place them on the ice plains. After we pay our respects, weâll cremate them.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCremation?â Zhao Hai was stunned. I donât remember the orcs being cremated?â
Thales nodded. &Quot; itâs true that the beastmen arenât cremated. However, the king Kong ape tribe has been cremating since we arrived at this volcano to thank the volcano for saving our lives. &Quot;
