Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 115 - 111: The Request of the Buqu Race

Ever since the invasion by the Doma race, humanity’s primary focus has been on rebuilding the Safe Zone, greatly reducing the monitoring of the Earth Restricted Area. Often Luo or Wang Xu need to personally visit the Earth Restricted Area to investigate if there are signs of any loosening indicating it might be about to open.

This year, Wang Xu was busy looking for special materials and did not go to investigate, so Luo went in his place.

On that trip, there was indeed a sign of loosening in the Ice Crystal Realm!

"Great, this news is so timely. I’m about to head to the Earth Restricted Area. Brother Luo, are you coming with me?" Wang Xu said excitedly.

Luo shook his head: "No, my cultivation isn’t complete yet. This time you go alone, be very careful."

"Rest assured, Brother Luo." Wang Xu replied with a smile.

...

The next day, Wang Xu bid farewell to his family and immediately set off for the Ice Crystal Realm.

Wang Xu’s current speed reached nearly ten times the speed of sound, taking just a moment to arrive at the Northern Continent.

The Northern Continent is located at Earth’s Arctic end, belonging to a frigid area, with year-round temperatures around minus eighty degrees. It’s a true Glacial Continent.

The Glacial Continent is surrounded by oceans, with the giant beasts in the oceans occupying the Northern Continent, preventing humans from approaching.

When the Doma race invaded Earth, they also overlooked this place, causing no harm to the Northern Continent. When Wang Xu arrived here, the Northern Continent’s appearance was still the same as before.

The biting cold wind, with a chill that can almost freeze the flesh into ice blocks, this extreme cold becomes increasingly apparent the more one moves toward the heart of the Northern Continent.

"It’s right here, the Ice Crystal Realm." Wang Xu paused in the sky, his gaze falling on a snow-covered area below.

Swoosh!

With a wave of Wang Xu’s hand, the snow seemed to be swept away by a giant hand, revealing below a smooth, mirror-like ice crystal.

The ice crystal was a hundred meters in size, as if a lake had frozen into ice, emitting a faint blue light, rendering it mysterious and beautiful.

This smooth, mirror-like ice crystal had strands of cracks along its edges, reflecting bits of blue light.

The cracks in the ice crystal signify that the Ice Crystal Realm has opened.

Conversely, if the ice crystal has no cracks, no matter who strikes it, even using a Laser Cannon, it wouldn’t leave a trace.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Wang Xu swung a punch, unleashing tremendous power, directly shattering the hundred-meter ice crystal, revealing a deep black hole.

Wang Xu didn’t hesitate, stepping right into it.

...

All around was darkness, Wang Xu’s body continued to fall, as if this was a bottomless pit, never reaching the end.

Moments later, Wang Xu felt traces of space fluctuation, then suddenly the world before him brightened, a world of swirling snow appeared before Wang Xu.

"So this is the Ice Crystal Realm, indeed as Brother Luo said, extraordinarily beautiful." Wang Xu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Snow flying everywhere, icy and freezing, the ground covered in a layer of pristine white snow, with no blemish.

This is a snow-white mountain range, where the trees and rocks can only have their outlines discerned, all covered in white snow.

In the distance, wisps of smoke rise; it’s a small village, with primitive and quaint wooden houses, surrounded by mountains. Wang Xu followed the smoke, soon seeing the whole village.

"It’s the natives of the Ice Crystal Realm." In the village, there were natives covered in fur, cute and straightforward. They had the same hands and feet as humans, but unlike humans, they were typically very short, like thirteen-year-old children, with youthful faces, making Wang Xu feel as though he had come to the Dwarf Country.

In the village, a little dwarf with a white snow crown on his head was carrying a big bundle of firewood home, though small in stature, the little dwarf was quite strong, easily carrying two to three hundred pounds like an ordinary backpack.

Suddenly, the little dwarf seemed to sense something, looked up, and saw the black-robed figure standing in the sky, breaking into a smile: "It’s our human friend, everyone come out, the human friends are here!"

On hearing this call, the villagers all came out of the wooden houses, and upon seeing Wang Xu, they waved their fluffy little arms, smiling and greeting Wang Xu.

"Hello!" Wang Xu’s figure slowly descended, waving to greet them.

Luo had told Wang Xu that he had once come to the Ice Crystal Realm and made some dwarf friends because the village had been attacked by an Ice Crystal Giant Beast and was nearly destroyed. Luo was the one who saved them.

Because of this, the dwarf friends of the Ice Crystal Realm were very grateful to him, warmly receiving him, making him feel incredibly cozy. If Luo weren’t burdened with Earth’s responsibilities and if the Ice Crystal Realm didn’t only open for three days, he would like to stay inside forever.

As soon as Wang Xu’s figure landed, the dwarves all gathered around, rubbing their fluffy faces against Wang Xu. This was the Ice Crystal Race’s way of expressing fondness.

"Human ally, you came just in time. Our Buqu Race has encountered a catastrophe. Please, you must lend us a hand." An elderly dwarf with white hair and beard walked out leaning on a cane, looking pleadingly.

"Oh? What’s going on?" Wang Xu asked.

"Follow me, please." The old dwarf led the way ahead, Wang Xu followed while the dwarves surrounded him, some little dwarves sat on Wang Xu’s shoulders, fiddling with his hair.

The Buqu Race’s wooden huts looked small, yet full of warmth. Once the door was closed, a warm flow greeted them, completely insulating them from the icy world outside.

"Human ally..."

"Call me Wang Xu." Wang Xu smiled.

"Wang ally..." Wang Xu was embarrassed, do all the natives of the Ice Crystal Realm love to call people ally?

"Please forgive my rudeness. Our Buqu Race truly has no other way, and we must beg you to help us." The old dwarf said.

Wang Xu sat on the bed, the Buqu Race’s stool was too small, so he had to sit on the bed, quietly listening to the old dwarf speak.

"Fifteen days ago, this Green Snowfield was still a peaceful and tranquil land. Our Buqu Race lived happily here... But until a meteor from Outer Heaven landed here, attracting numerous powerful Ice Crystal Giant Beasts."

"These are a group of powerful Ice Crystal Giant Beasts. They possess hard bodies, terrifying power, and even intelligence. Our Buqu Race stands no chance against them." The old dwarf sighed.

"Then how did you survive?" Wang Xu asked.

He had heard from Luo about the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts; they are a group of murderous and arrogant beings like Star Giant Beasts. They are naturally endowed with strong gifts, born as Star Level, and can reach Void Level by adulthood. Luo only managed to barely kill a newly born Ice Crystal Giant Beast back then. If it were an adult, even Luo would be powerless.

"I heard from the tribe that these Ice Crystal Giant Beasts are guarding the fallen meteor, waiting for the moment it breaks open. To prevent the message from spreading, they only allow three tribespeople to go out and gather food daily. The others are trapped in the village and forbidden to step out."

"They said that if the three tribespeople dared to spread the message out, they would kill the whole Buqu Race."

"Not letting the message spread?" Wang Xu was puzzled. If they truly wanted to keep the message from spreading, the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts should have wiped out the Buqu Race entirely. That would be the safest method, wouldn’t it?

"Exactly. Here in the mountain range, not only are there Ice Crystal Giant Beasts, but also many Earth Dragon Beasts, Elemental Feather Beasts, and other tribes." The old dwarf said. "The Ice Crystal Giant Beasts probably want other tribes to think there’s nothing unusual here, so they can have enough time to wait for the meteor to break open."

Wang Xu realized these Ice Crystal Giant Beasts were quite clever. If they wiped out the Buqu Race, other tribes would soon discover their disappearance and suspect the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts. This would possibly lead them to discover the secret of the meteor they were guarding. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

To prevent any hint of this secret from leaking, the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts chose to let the Buqu Race help them play along.

"Do you want me to help you kill those Ice Crystal Giant Beasts?" Wang Xu asked.

"No, Wang ally, that’s too risky. I can’t let you risk your life for us." The old dwarf quickly replied, "I only want to ask you to help us contact Buque Ge, who is a guest at the Luma tribe."

"Buque Ge?"

"Buque Ge is the strongest of our Buqu Race. His power is at Upper Void Level. It’s because of his presence that our Buqu Race can survive among so many cruel tribes." The old dwarf said.

Wang Xu nodded. For the Buqu Race to survive, they surely have a strong protector. Otherwise, they would have been destroyed by the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts long ago.

"Buque Ge went on a journey that will take two months to return. It’s a very short period, yet we didn’t expect these events to occur." The old dwarf sighed.

"With Buque Ge gone, should there not still be one or two strong members left to protect the village? How could they be pressured by the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts into such a dire situation?" Wang Xu asked.

Typically, when the strongest member leaves, elites are left behind to continue guarding the village to prevent enemy invasion.

"Wang ally, you don’t know. This time, the falling meteor from Outer Heaven attracted the Ice Crystal King He Luo. His strength is also Upper Void Level, and our two Upper Void Level protectors are no match for him." The old dwarf said.

Understanding the ins and outs of the situation, Wang Xu pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, I will help you."

"Thank you so much, Wang ally! You are a great benefactor to our Buqu Race!" The old dwarf quickly bowed.

Wang Xu quickly waved his hand, "We are allies; we must help each other in times of difficulty. This small matter is not a problem for me; rest assured."

Upon learning that Wang Xu accepted the task, the entire Buqu Race cheered for him, inviting Wang Xu to their homes and offering their best food. It’s undeniable, the food from the Ice Crystal Realm is particularly delicious; Wang Xu praised it continuously.

...

"Alright, I should head to the Luma tribe to send the message now. Wait here for my good news." Wang Xu soared into the sky, waved to the Buqu Race members below, then turned and left.

Snowflakes fluttered; the snow in the Ice Crystal Realm seemed endless. Wang Xu followed the map given by the old dwarf and flew towards the direction of the Luma tribe.

Just as he crossed a few mountain peaks, suddenly, a gigantic ice crystal hand loomed over Wang Xu!

"Who are you!"
