115: Chapter 114 Ape Territory, Frost Demon Appears

The four continued to venture deeper.

Passing through the territory of the ape-type Titans, a massive canyon appeared ahead.

The canyon was over a kilometer wide and visually estimated to be more than five hundred meters deep, with glowing vine plants covering the rock walls on both sides.

"Should we go down?" Su Zhiruo scanned the area and asked.

"Let's go down and take a look." Luo Yu nodded.

"I'll handle the teleportation."

Su Zhiruo quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

Hum! Space distorted.

The four disappeared from the edge of the canyon,

and appeared at the bottom of the canyon the next second, with soft sandy ground beneath their feet and a damp scent filling the air.

"The temperature here is lower than above." Su Qingxue reached out, feeling the temperature in the air, and said, "It's about fifteen degrees."

"Hiss!"

Godzilla jumped down from Luo Yu's shoulder and sniffed the ground.

"Did Godzilla find something?" Luo Yu asked curiously.

"Hiss, hiss."

Godzilla pointed towards the depths of the canyon.

There was a huge cave there, with an entrance diameter of over fifty meters, and it was pitch black inside.

"Should we go in?" Ivy hesitated a little.

"Let's go in and take a look." Luo Yu stepped forward.

The four walked into the cave.

The interior of the cave was very spacious, with glowing moss growing on the rock walls, providing faint illumination.

The further they went, the wider the cave became.

After walking about five hundred meters, a huge space appeared ahead.

It was a natural underground hall, over three hundred meters high, with an area as large as a dozen football fields.

In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone platform.

There were some strange things placed on the stone platform.

"What is that?" Su Zhiruo walked over.

There were a dozen huge bones placed on the stone platform.

They were not ordinary bones, because... these bones emitted a faint blue light and had complex patterns carved onto them.

"This is..."

Luo Yu walked to the stone platform and reached out to touch one of the bones. It was very smooth and the temperature was very low, like ice.

"This is some kind of sacrificial offering used in a ritual."

Su Qingxue examined the other bones and said, "These patterns are some kind of ancient script."

"Do you recognize them?" Luo Yu asked.

"I don't." Su Qingxue shook her head and said, "But I can feel that these characters contain powerful energy."

"Hiss!"

Godzilla jumped onto the stone platform and lowered its head to sniff those bones.

Then, it opened its mouth and bit into a bone.

Crack.

The bone shattered into several pieces.

"Hiss, hiss."

Godzilla chewed twice and swallowed it.

[Ding! Godzilla absorbed Hollow Earth World energy crystal]

[evolution progress +0.1%]

[Current evolution progress: 48.3%]

"These bones are energy crystals?" After hearing the notification sound, Luo Yu showed a look of surprise.

"Hiss!"

Seeing that it could evolve, Godzilla also became interested and started eating happily.

One piece. Two pieces. Three pieces. The dozen or so bones were quickly eaten up by it.

[evolution progress +1.2%]

[Current evolution progress: 49.5%]

"Not bad." Luo Yu nodded with satisfaction.

However, just at this moment.

An angry roar came from the depths of the hall.

"Roar!"

The sound was low and full of killing intent.

"Something is coming." Su Qingxue subconsciously gripped her military knife.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Accompanied by heavy footsteps coming from the depths of the hall.

A massive figure walked out from the darkness.

It was a Giant Ape.

It was over eighty meters tall, covered in silver-white fur, with knotted muscles and arms as thick as stone pillars.

The most striking thing was its eyes; they were not golden, but ice blue.

"Peak SSS-Rank." Luo Yu narrowed his eyes calmly.

The Giant Ape stared at Godzilla on the stone platform, a look of rage flashing in its eyes, and opened its mouth to let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!"

The sound waves spread, shaking the entire hall.

"What is it saying?" Ivy covered her ears with both hands.

"It's scolding Godzilla for stealing its sacrificial offerings." Luo Yu grinned and said, "Those were all offerings."

"Hiss!"

Godzilla flicked its tail, looking indifferent.

The Giant Ape was even angrier.

It slammed its fist onto the ground.

Boom! Accompanied by a loud rumble, the ground exploded, and gravel flew everywhere.

"It's going to attack." Su Zhiruo took a few steps back.

"Let Godzilla play." Luo Yu didn't move.

The Giant Ape rushed towards the stone platform, swinging its right fist at Godzilla.

Godzilla's size instantly expanded to one hundred meters.

It raised its right claw.

Slap! It slapped the Giant Ape's fist with its claw.

Bang! The Giant Ape was knocked back a dozen steps, and the bones in its right arm made a cracking sound.

"Roar!" It roared in pain.

"Hiss!" Godzilla jumped off the stone platform and stepped forward.

Seeing this, the Giant Ape was very unwilling and rushed up again in a fit of rage.

This time it used both fists, attacking wildly from left and right.

Godzilla stood still, letting the Giant Ape's fists hammer onto its body.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The fists hit the black-gold scales, producing dull thudding sounds.

Unfortunately, Godzilla didn't even sway.

Thus, after throwing a dozen punches and finding it completely useless, the Giant Ape finally stopped.

"Hoo!!" The Giant Ape panted heavily, looking at Godzilla, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes.

It was quite confident in its own strength, but it hadn't expected that it would be completely useless against the giant beast in front of it.

"Hiss!" Godzilla yawned and cleanly raised its right claw.

Slap! It slapped the Giant Ape across the face.

Bang! The Giant Ape was sent flying, crashing into the rock wall and creating a huge pit.

"Roar..." It struggled to stand up.

"Hiss!" Godzilla walked over and stepped on its chest.

The Giant Ape couldn't move and looked up at Godzilla. The rage in its eyes disappeared, replaced by fear and submission.

"It's submitting again." Luo Yu walked over.

"Roar!!" The Giant Ape opened its mouth, letting out a low, pleading sound.

"It's begging for mercy." Su Qingxue said.

"Hiss!" Godzilla tilted its head, examining the Giant Ape.

Then, it moved its foot away.

The Giant Ape immediately climbed up, knelt on the ground, and lowered its head.

"It has submitted." Luo Yu smiled and said, "Godzilla, are we accepting it this time?"

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla thought for a moment and nodded.

"Accepted?" Luo Yu was a little surprised.

"Hiss!" Godzilla pointed to the depths of the hall.

"You mean, it knows the situation here?" Luo Yu understood Godzilla's meaning.

"Hiss!" Godzilla nodded.

The Giant Ape raised its head, looked at Luo Yu with its ice-blue eyes, opened its mouth, and let out a series of complex roars.

"What is it saying?" Ivy looked curious.

"It says..." Luo Yu frowned and said, "It says this is the holy land of the Ape Clan, and those bones are relics left by their ancestors."

"Ancestors?" Su Zhiruo walked over.

"Roar!!" The Giant Ape continued to roar.

"It says its clan has guarded this holy land for generations, waiting for the arrival of a certain prophesied existence." Luo Yu relayed.

"Prophecy?" Su Qingxue narrowed her eyes.

The Giant Ape stood up and walked to the depths of the hall.

It pressed a few times on the rock wall.

Rumbling. The rock wall cracked open, revealing a passage, and blue light emanated from within the passage.

"It wants us to follow it." Luo Yu said.

"Could it be a trap?" Ivy said vigilantly.

"No." Luo Yu said confidently, "It has completely submitted and wouldn't dare to play any tricks in front of Godzilla."

"Hiss!" Godzilla shrunk its body and walked into the passage first.

Luo Yu followed, Su Zhiruo and Su Qingxue followed closely behind, and Ivy brought up the rear.

The Giant Ape walked at the very front to lead the way.

The passage was very long, and the walls were covered with murals.

The murals depicted a group of Giant Apes kneeling before a huge creature.

The silhouette of that creature was very blurry, but one could tell its size was extremely massive.

"Is this the god they worship?" Su Zhiruo looked at the murals.

"It should be." Luo Yu continued to walk forward.

After walking one kilometer, a huge stone gate appeared at the end of the passage.

The stone gate was fifty meters high and thirty meters wide, with complex patterns carved on it.

The Giant Ape walked to the stone gate and placed its hands on the door.

Blue light surged from its palms and flowed into the stone gate.

Rumbling. The stone gate slowly opened.

Behind the door was an even larger space.

The height of this space was over five hundred meters, and its area was as large as twenty-something football fields.

In the center of the space, there was a huge ice sculpture.

The ice sculpture was three hundred meters high and carved into the shape of a giant creature.

Its body was like a human's, but its head was like a dragon's, it had huge wings on its back, and a thick, powerful tail.

"What is this?" Ivy widened her eyes.

"Frost Demon." Su Qingxue walked up to the ice sculpture, reached out to touch it, looked at the complex ancient characters carved on it, and then said slowly, "I have studied some ancient scripts. The ancient characters before us record that the Frost Demon is one of the legendary overlords of the Hollow Earth World."

"Frost Demon?" Luo Yu looked at the ice sculpture with great interest.

"Yes." Su Qingxue nodded and said, "According to these ancient character records, there are three major overlord clans in the Hollow Earth World: the Ape Clan, the Frost Demon Clan, and..."

Speaking of this, seeming very shocked and incredulous, Su Qingxue paused and said, "The Godzilla Clan."

"Hiss!" Godzilla's vertical pupils brightened.

"The Godzilla Clan?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Su Qingxue continued, "But the Godzilla Clan of the Hollow Earth World recorded in the text is not quite the same as Godzilla."

"How are they different?"

"The Godzilla Clan recorded in the text here are the original inhabitants of the Hollow Earth World. They feed on hollow earth energy, are powerful, but are few in number." Su Qingxue looked at Godzilla, "And Godzilla... seems to specialize in eating nuclear radiation energy, and is purer and more powerful."

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla flicked its tail, looking smug.

However, just at this moment.

The ice sculpture suddenly cracked.

Crack. Cracks spread from the bottom to the top.

"Not good!" Su Qingxue's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "This is not an ice sculpture, it's a frozen seal!"

Just as she finished speaking, Boom! The ice sculpture exploded.

A huge creature rushed out from the ice blocks.

It was over three hundred meters tall, its body was like a human's, but... its skin was ice blue, its head was like a dragon's, it had huge ice crystal wings on its back, and a thick, powerful tail.
