163: Chapter 163 Our Ancestor Was Truly Extraordinary

"Our previous generation still said that some cities in the south were preparing to relocate their capitals, seem to be called Comorion and Uzzul-darlum? Has the relocation of the capital been completed?"

"The prophecy of the White Witch has not yet been fulfilled, Comorion has not been destroyed, and there are still quite a few people living there." The snake-man leader casually drew a circle in the bonfire ashes with the tip of his tail, and then drew an arrow pointing outside the circle.

"The location we are currently at is the southern boundary of the Northern Cities. Heading north is the territory of the White Worm, and heading south across the mountains is the Old Capital."

Xie Feng turned around and translated the snake-man language he just heard into jiuzhou mandarin, repeating it once.

Third Princess nodded slightly after hearing it.

Tu Ziguan's expression changed from initial worry to a resigned calmness.

Xu Liujing had given up thinking long ago.

Xie Feng nodded, filed this information away in his mind, and shifted the topic to the core of this expedition.

"We came here this time to catch some Noph-Keh, but previous Seniors said they were very powerful. How are they now?"

The snake-man leader disdainfully licked his own eyes.

"Their gods have all gone to sleep, that group of white-furred monsters can be caught by anyone now, no need to be afraid."

An old snake-man on the side chimed in and explained.

"Their God of the Ivory Throne fell into a deep sleep long ago. On the day He closed His eyes, all the Noph-Keh of Hyperborea raised their heads and hissed. Ever since then, He has never opened His eyes again. Without the protection of a deity, they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

Through continuous chatting, Xie Feng successfully extracted the current status of Rhan-Tegoth and the Noph-Keh.

The remaining Noph-Keh almost all cowered near the deity, or else they hid away. Only these guys knew where Rhan-Tegoth was.

Xie Feng translated these words into jiuzhou mandarin and repeated them to the people behind him.

Third Princess touched the fragment inside her body, clarifying her goal.

"We have to find a way to find the remaining Noph-Keh."

Xie Feng turned his head and continued to ask the snake-man leader about the current situation of the Noph-Keh in Hyperborea and where their settlements could be found.

After all, they came here specifically to catch them, and if they couldn't find them now, they wouldn't be able to go back and report for duty.

"Hard to find."

The old snake-man took the meat chop handed over by Xie Feng and tore into it.

"They were originally one of the most ferocious races on Hyperborea, with six giant limbs and giant horns on their heads. Even the servants of the White Worm dared not provoke them easily.

But after the protection was gone and the balance of power was broken, in order to fight for limited survival resources, the remaining races kept driving out the Noph-Keh.

They have now retreated to the deepest part of the mountains, and their population is getting smaller and smaller.

If you had come here several hundred years earlier, you would have been able to see flocks of Noph-Keh migrating among the coniferous forests at the edge of Hyperborea. Now it's hard to even see one."

After listening to Xie Feng's translation, Zhou Jinglan very sensibly left some food and equipment from his gear.

But he also had the Imperial Guards inadvertently reveal their long sabers and Spiritual Qi.

The carrot and the stick work well at any time.

As a large amount of supplies were left here, the snake-men showed smiles. Although a bit terrifying, they still politely began to reveal intelligence.

According to the introduction of the snake-men,

The Noph-Keh are extremely difficult to find now; they have been beaten out of their wits by the snake-men and the Voormis, and do not trust any outsiders.

Even if their hiding place is found, it doesn't necessarily mean they can be made to talk.

However, among the human wizards who fled from the Northern Cities, there is a very strange person.

It is said that he lives alone in Comorion and can communicate with the Noph-Keh.

Before the Northern Cities fell, he was a member of the Mu-Thuran Magic Association, specializing in Noph-Keh Spells. After the White Worm crushed Mu-Thuran, he escaped and did not go to the New Capital with other refugees. He didn't quite believe the White Witch's prophecy, so he settled down in Comorion.

If he can be found, perhaps he can be asked to help contact the Noph-Keh.

To avoid complications arising from long delays, once the information is obtained, they should run. Right now, everyone is still far away from the Old Capital.

Leaving behind a portion of supplies and cheerfully greeting the snake-man tribe, the group changed a map and started heading towards the Old Capital along the route.

As they walked out of the sight of the snake-men, Xie Feng immediately began to cast the Roigard Summoning Spell.

As the giant claws of the King of Volcanoes' dependent grasped onto the ice surface, the group climbed onto the back of the giant lizard and began to dash wildly along the road towards the Old Capital.

Although the mental shock suffered by the Imperial Guards existed, it was not enough to cause mental damage.

Xie Feng confirmed one thing once again.

The people of this world have extraordinary mental resistance to Cthulhu-mythos-like things. It seems that besides shielding, the people of Jiuzhou themselves also possess considerable resistance.

Is it because they have lived in a Cthulhu-mythos world year-round?

Is the language of flowers for peas 9331? Making descendants have resistance, huh?

Xie Feng and his party ran out of the tribe, and the snake-men in the tribe were not idle either.

"Go back and notify the clansmen and slaves to be careful. That group of expeditions from back then has come again, but this time they don't look like what the rumors say."

The snake-man leader hissed to notify the surrounding clansmen.

"They probably weren't sent by the same country, but just in case, pay attention."

"Yeah, it seems there are many countries outside Hyperborea. This batch of people has different clothing and different ways of speaking from the previous batch. They shouldn't be the same group. Even if they are, it doesn't matter. We got the initiative. Whatever they are about to do has nothing to do with the snake-men. I might even be able to fish for some benefits while I'm at it."

That old snake-man also nodded his slender head.

"The tribe said that the previous team was numerous and powerful, but seemed to know nothing about us. This team is different; there aren't many people, but the aura of the deities is very clear. And what's going on with that veiled person leading them? Is that guy raised by snake-men? How do they understand us even better than the Voormis?"

"And the goal is not some messy Cultivation Technique or 'immortality', it seems they are here to catch Noph-Keh. Is it for fur and breeding?"

"I don't know, let's be careful above all. Fortunately, at least there isn't that legendary lunatic in their team. If that lunatic were here too, it would be terrible."

"That's right, if it weren't for that lunatic wizard, how would our town have disappeared? How would the north have been covered by drifting ice? How would the White Worm have destroyed the north? How would the slaves under us have converted their faith to the God of Toads and caused a riot?"

"Originally, the White Worms had been lured away by the mages using Spells. After that so-called expedition came, they lured them back again. As a result, how much slave blood sacrifice did the wizards have to pay to turn the direction once more. As a result..."

"As a result, that lunatic actually dragged the White Worm along to the Northern Cities like that! And he even said something like 'Bastards! This is the correct timeline!' The Northern Cities were doing fine, but after being messed with by that bastard, now most of the wizards and magical intelligent creatures have all become slaves of the White Worm."

The two snake-men looked at each other, their hissing sounds filled with anger.

"Damn Liu Yanqing!"
