Chapter 428: To the Snowlands (2/2)
The car floated in the air as they zoomed past the streets, people and after a few minutes, they are traveling towards the imperial capital along the rail track.
The speed of the car is extremely high. High enough to leave the car far behind. Due to the increase in Sam's mental health and the lot of wind elemental energy that involved along with the size of the energy cells, the speed is fast enough to catch up with a transcendent level beast.
That is the reason Sam made sure that he made the car strong enough and used the alloy of some meteorite sands so that it would be hard enough to resist the force, air resistance, and any form of possible damages that might happen in the journey.
And he also had to make sure that the whole thing is light enough to pick up such speed.
They traveled to the imperial capital in less than two days. From there, Sam has to use some of the communication means that Arc has with the people of snow lands so that they would be informed about their arrival and not take them as a hostile party.
Sam has a faint idea about the location they should go to. That would be the place where they should take to the sea.
After informing the people of snow lands, Sam and the group once again went on with their journey.
In another half a day, they are able to reach the snow lands and entered their territory.
After they entered deep enough and see human activity, they decided to travel by foot and stored the car away.
The people are all dressed in smooth white fur garments and they are looking at Sam and his group in a weird way.
After a while, the head of the tribe came over to greet them. He is a transcendent stage cultivator and behind him, a familiar person is walking towards them. He is none other than Yash, one of the three people who came to the Falcon cliff city to participate in the tower of will.
”Welcome to our tribe. His majesty has informed us about your arrival. Please come, I will show you your residence, the food is being prepared and we can talk over a meal about what you need our help for.”
They followed and after settling in a small ice house, Yash was left to keep them company and see if they would need anything.
But there is nothing much they need and there was an awkward silence for a moment before they were called for the banquet.
When they entered the area, they noticed that there are a lot of people on the main table sitting on all sides.
Sam noticed that more than half of them are pre-transcendent cultivators which surprised him.
”So, Sam. What is it that you need? You came all the way here from the city.” The tribe leader asked.
”I need to find an island in the northwest.”
Sam said without any reservations, everyone was silent and didn't speak. The tribe leader said after that awkward silence.
”Sam, tell me you are kidding? There is nothing in the north-west but danger. What island can you find there?”
Sam was puzzled. ”What do you mean?”
”We go to fishing in the northern part of the seas and we covered most of the coastline, the sea blessed us with many resources. But the north-western coast is something we don't dare to enter.
We believe that there is something wrong with that Sea?”
Sam frowned and asked.
”But I am sure that there is a team of explorers who went in that direction and came back, almost twenty years ago. They even discovered an island and that is the same place I am going right now.”
Everyone was dumbstruck and Sam could sense some sort of strange atmosphere in the air.
”The exploration is the one that made us realize not to step in that direction. Since you know of this, there is no point in hiding from you.
That place is actually not that dangerous in the past, except for deep seas, we could roam in those shallow waters all we want, but the problem started after that exploration team. They came with a map and took most of our skilled explorers of the sea with them and by the time they returned, only one of our explorers survived and even the explorer team was almost wiped out. Only a handful of people returned.
From that time, that region is completely covered in thick fog and no one who ventured inside was able to return.
Rumour has it that only a transcendent stage cultivator would be able to travel that place and even their safety is not guaranteed. I advise you guys to withdraw.”
