Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 905 The Eternally Frozen Sea? No, a Treasure Vault!
Cao Xing quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Although they are now not far from their destination, they will arrive in just a few minutes.

However, there's no need to rush.

Although the situation at Frost Oath Great Wall is dangerous, it is absolutely impossible for it to fall completely just because of this little bit of delay.

After all, if those two giants hadn't encountered Cao Xing and his group, even if they had escaped the ambush of the White Walker army, they probably wouldn't have reached the shore yet.

Not to mention, they would have to travel tens of thousands of kilometers on land to find human reinforcements.

Therefore, the situation is far from urgent enough to require every second to be of the essence.

So Cao Xing ordered, "Go down and take a look; it won't take long."

"Great!"

Elisa immediately cheered, "We can go down and catch fish now!"

Even the two ice giants on the dragon's back had no objections, as they knew that the current situation at the Frostsworn Wall was not yet that dire.

The next moment, Bingbing flapped her wings and gracefully drew an arc in the air before slowly landing on the ice.

Its enormous claws left deep marks on the ice, and the cold air it exhaled mingled with the polar winds.

Everyone jumped off Bingbing's back and onto the frozen sea.

Renis pointed to a patch of ice ahead and said, "My lord, it's down here, about five thousand meters deep."

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes, his gaze intense as he stared into the depths of the ice.

However, all that could be seen was a blurry blue shadow.

After all, a body of water five thousand meters deep is already considered deep sea.

In addition, the unique magical interference of the frozen sea makes it impossible for even legendary experts like them to see through such a thick layer of ice.

However, Renis is different; she is a legendary archer with amazing eyesight.

He also awakened the powerful ability of the [Eye of the Sky], which allows him to easily penetrate seas thousands or even tens of thousands of meters deep and detect the most subtle anomalies.

Therefore, Cao Xing only needed to dig down in the direction she indicated.

Then, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a gleaming diamond pickaxe reappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing raised the diamond pickaxe high and slammed the pickaxe head down onto the ice!
"Crack!"

After a strange flash of light, a giant ice pit with a diameter of 100 meters and a depth of 700 to 800 meters instantly appeared beneath our feet!

Cao Xing continued to fall under the ice and repeated the process.

"Clang! Clang clang!"

The shattered ice fragments scattered and then vanished into thin air.

After seven consecutive excavations, a giant ice pit with a depth of more than 5,000 meters suddenly appeared before everyone.

Elisa, dressed in a thick white cotton-padded coat, lay on the edge of the ice cave like a little bear, asking curiously.

"My lord, have you found that big fish?"

The crisp sound echoed gently in the ice cave.

Cao Xing remained silent, searching around the dark ice cave.

Then, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two faint blue dots in the ice next to him.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that those were not blue dots at all, but the eyes of a colossal creature sealed within the ice!

"Ok?"

Cao Xing remained calm and took out a glowing tree branch.

Intense holy light emanated from the branch in his hand, illuminating the entire area.

He also got a clear look at the creature's face.

That was a giant fish that was nearly fifty meters long!

Its entire body is covered with crystal-clear blue scales, each scale shining with a dreamlike luster like the finest sapphire.

A single, spiraling horn grows from the giant fish's head, and liquid, icy energy flows inside the horn.

What's most striking is that its fins are fully extended, resembling a pair of wings sculpted from ice crystals.

It looks like it was swimming when it was suddenly frozen in place.

"These are... the deep-sea fish that Renis was talking about?"

"I've never seen this variety before, so I don't know what its quality is like."

Cao Xing's gaze fell on the strange deep-sea fish.

The next moment, a panel of information appeared.

【Kaijing Snapper (Orange): Deep-sea fish】

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: Level 78]

[Weight: 22.4 tons]

[Skills: Water Pillar, Ice Crystal Armor, Ancient Bloodline...]

[Effect: Upon first consumption of this fish, one will gain 2000 points of Spirit, 100 points of Cold Resistance, and a 30% chance to awaken the 'Ice Crystal Protection' ability.]

【可分解获得：凯晶鳞片（橙）*221片、凯晶鲷肉（橙）*10525公斤、深海冰核（橙）*1、凯晶独角（橙）*1、冰晶鱼油（橙）*560升、凯晶鱼骨（橙）*1104公斤……】

(Note: These are powerful fish that have lived for thousands of years in the depths of the frozen sea. Their flesh and blood contain astonishing deep-sea power, making them the dream fish of countless adventurers and seasoned anglers...)
...

After reading the attributes of this [Kaijing Snapper], Cao Xing couldn't help but feel delighted!
"Damn... this is epic-level fish meat! The effect is incredible!"

"Not only can it increase 2000 points of spirit, but it can also increase cold resistance and awaken special abilities."

"This thing is even more valuable than the meat of the Lizard King, and only slightly less valuable than that legendary giant rhinoceros!"

"But it's still very good!"

After all, the notes above state that after being broken down, it can yield tens of thousands of kilograms of [Kaijing Snapper Meat], which translates to enough to sell at least 100,000 servings!
In addition, dismantling it yields a large amount of epic-quality additional materials, which can be used to craft various equipment, create various items, and so on.

The value of this [Kaijing Snapper] is beyond measure!
The most crucial point is that he found the fish on the road.

It's equivalent to Cao Xing not contributing anything, at most he just wasted two or three minutes.

Thinking of this, he said with a smile, "It feels really good to pick up money like this."

Just as he was about to dismantle the [Crystal Snapper], a system notification suddenly appeared.

[Ding! Decomposition failed. Unable to decompose living matter...]

...

Cao Xing was immediately stunned: "A living creature? This Crystal Snapper is still alive?"

An incredulous look appeared in his eyes.

After all, this fish has been frozen here for at least nine thousand years, and would normally have died long ago.

Now, the system is actually telling me that it's still alive!

"Holy crap... He survived being frozen for over nine thousand years."

"Doesn't this mean that what Elisa said about finding humans over nine thousand years old in the frozen sea is also true?"

Cao Xing swallowed subconsciously.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not worry about it."

"Let's get this fish ashore first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xing raised his staff, and an invisible magical force enveloped the ice block, which weighed over twenty tons and nearly fifty tons including the surface ice layer.

The Moon Goddess Orb at the top of the staff emitted a brilliant blue light.

Then, the Crystal Snapper, which had been sealed in ice for over nine thousand years, slowly rose into the air.

The crowd waiting on the ice witnessed an astonishing scene.

From the giant ice pit below, a giant sea bream, its body crystal clear and its scales sculpted like ice crystals, slowly rose up.

Upon reaching the ice surface, Cao Xing slowly stopped transmitting magic power, and the ice mass enveloping the Kaijing Snapper fell to the ground.

"Boom..."

With a dull thud, a heavy block of ice slammed onto the ice surface, stirring up a cloud of icy mist.

Elisa quickly led Xiao Chuchu to meet them.

She reached out her little hands and touched the surface of the ice, her mouth slightly open: "Wow... what a big fish, and it's so beautiful!"

"It would be absolutely delicious as sashimi!"

Elisa's eyes sparkled with excitement; she could almost picture the delicious flesh of this fish!
At that moment, Xiao Chuchu seemed to sense something.

She turned her head and said innocently, "Sister Elisa, why do I feel like this fish is still alive?"

Elisa's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked with some doubt, "Still alive? That's unlikely, isn't it?"

She leaned closer to the ice block, pressing her ear against it, as if trying to confirm something.

The people standing nearby, including Bloom and Assam, were also intrigued and gathered around to find out what was going on.

Just then, a steady voice sounded from behind.

"The fish is indeed still alive."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

They were all taken aback when they realized that it was their lord who was speaking.

He also confirmed with his own words that the big fish was still alive!

Although it seemed unbelievable, he knew that his lord wouldn't joke about such things.

Brûl's gruff voice rang out: "Aha! I never thought that after thousands of years, I would still be able to see living kaite."

"If this were brought back to land, it could probably fetch an astronomical price!"

The two ice giants exclaimed in surprise, "Our ice giant race has been developing here for so long, and we have only ever seen related records in history books."

"Unexpectedly, this human lord encountered this ancient, living fish as soon as he arrived!"

Everyone was incredulous.

Only Elisa showed a hint of worry on her face.

She tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Live fish... does that mean you can't eat them?"

At the same time, the [Crystal Snapper] sealed in the ice seemed to sense the changes in its surroundings and showed signs of revival.

"Crack—crack—!"

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and several fine cracks appeared on the ice surface.

This confirmed everyone's belief that the creature inside was still alive!

Bo Jie, who was standing nearby, asked, "My lord, what should we do with this big fish?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Break the ice first, then just kill it directly."

For others, a nine-thousand-year-old armored crystal seabream may have great research value.

But for Cao Xing, the biggest use of this fish is to break it down to improve the attributes of all the members or to exchange it for resources in the market.

"As ordered!"

Bojie responded solemnly, then picked up the giant axe in his hand and came to the giant block of ice.

What happened next was no surprise.

As a legendary Dragonblood Warrior commander, Bojie could instantly kill even the most powerful Kaijing Snapper.

Moreover, the other party is still in a sealed state.

With a swift stroke of his axe, the ice cracked instantly.

The succulent inside was still in a semi-awakened, chaotic state when it was directly killed.

Then Cao Xing stepped forward, broke it down into various rare materials, and put them into his backpack.

【Received: 10525 kg of Crystal Snapper Meat (Orange)】

[Received: 560 liters of Orange Crystal Fish Oil]

【get……】

Thus, this ancient creature, which had survived for countless years and been sealed in the ice for over nine thousand years, became nothing more than spoils of war.

Cao Xing patted his backpack with satisfaction, turned around and ordered, "Continue our journey. We'll head directly to the Frost Oath Great Wall."

The crowd responded in unison, "Yes, Lord!"

After saying that, they jumped onto Bingbing's back again.

The enormous Calamity Dragon flapped its wings and lifted everyone into the air.

While still in mid-air, the giant Gar couldn't help but exclaim, "This human lord, you not only possess immense strength, but also a group of outstanding subordinates."

"In such deep waters, even the legendary giants of our race cannot detect any living creatures beneath the ice."

"But your team has an archer with such exceptional eyesight that he can lock onto a target through ten thousand meters of ice."

"In addition, you also have that magical pickaxe."

"This sea area is an inexhaustible treasure trove for you!"

Clearly, even these two giants were envious of the experience they had gone through.

Looking at their eyes filled with awe and longing, Cao Xing smiled.

At the same time, I became even more excited for the upcoming journey to the frozen sea.

Time flew by, and about ten minutes passed.

The Demon Dragon Bingbing maintained a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour, drawing an icy blue trail over the frozen sea.

At this moment, the two giants suddenly stood up, their height of over ten meters casting huge shadows on the dragon's back!
Gazing at the gradually emerging outline in the distance, they excitedly growled, "Gentlemen, we're almost there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and stood up!

They stood on the back of the dragon, gazing into the distance!

A massive, continuous ice wall appeared on the sea ahead!

That ice wall was thousands of kilometers long and its height was astonishing, at least over 10,000 meters!

Like a barrier stretching across the sky and the earth, it separates the entire sea area!

Everyone held their breath, stunned by the sight before them.

"Wow... Is this the Frost Oath Wall?"

Elisa gripped her bow and arrows tightly with excitement: "This is absolutely spectacular!!!"

Brûlé stroked the shield in his hand, muttering to himself, "It's unbelievable. When I died in my previous life, I had never heard of such a miraculous structure appearing on the frozen sea..."

"Such a massive scale, I really don't know how it came to be..."

Upon hearing this, the two giants exchanged a glance, their voices filled with pride: "This Frost Oath Wall was built by the very ancestors of our Ice Giant race!"

Cao Xing raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise: "Oh? The ancestor of your Icefield Giant race actually had the ability to create this kind of architecture?"

It should be noted that a building of this scale is truly a wonder of the world.

Cao Xing already has four demigods under his command, but even with their strength, they cannot achieve this.

In other words, the being who created the Frost Oath Wall must have possessed power at least at the level of a god.

The giant Garr straightened his body and nodded firmly, saying, "That's right!"

"During the Dragon Wars, our Ice Giants and Norn races fought against the ancient dragon 'Droma' for four hundred years!"

"However, the power of the dragons was simply too great. Even with the combined strength of our entire race, the Norn clan fought until only one dragon-slaying legion remained."

"But they were still being driven back by the dragons, and their numbers were dwindling."

"We can only watch helplessly as the number of Ice Nest Monsters increases and the range of the dragon's power continues to expand..."

"More and more creatures are hearing 'Zhuoma's' whispered persuasion and degenerating into ice nest monsters that only know how to kill."

His voice was filled with deep sorrow, and his rough, calloused hands unconsciously tightened their grip on the axe handle.

The next second, the giant Garr's voice suddenly changed: "However, at this moment, the Norn saintess 'Zora', after four hundred years of battle, finally found the weakness of the ancient dragon 'Zora'!"

"She sacrificed herself to seal 'Zhuoma' in the endless depths of the sea, thus ending that long war between dragons!"

"However, the ancient dragon 'Zhuoma' was not willing to be sealed away. So, it exhausted its last bit of power and created its own clone: ​​Drak, the Voice of Zhuoma."

"This evil creature also possesses extremely powerful strength, and it will continue to hatch large numbers of Ice Nest Monsters, continuing to wreak havoc on this sea area."

"To protect our people and to fulfill our oath to the Norn, one of the progenitors of our Ice Giants, Jotun Kinva, resolutely stepped into the depths of the Eternal Frozen Sea!"

"After an earth-shattering battle, he sacrificed his own life to kill Droma's clone: ​​Drak!"

"And in the last moments of his life, he exhausted all his life force and magic."

"With eternal ice as its bones and extreme cold storms as its soul, a defensive line stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers has been built!"

"This is the origin of the [Frost Oath Great Wall]!"

The giant Garr finished speaking in one breath, his chest heaving violently, his eyes flashing with pride and sorrow!
After listening in silence, everyone was deeply moved by this tragic history.

Looking at the towering ice crystal Great Wall ahead, a sense of reverence cannot help but arise in my eyes.

Cao Xing took a deep breath and commented, "The Norn and the Icefield Clan are indeed true warriors."

He paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Continue onward."

"call--!"

With a flap of its wings, Bingbing's speed increased even further!

In the blink of an eye, they crossed the final distance and arrived above the Frost Oath Great Wall!
This incredible structure, with a wall reaching ten thousand meters high and several thousand meters wide, appeared before them.

Besides the enormous figures, there are also many strange buildings on it.

There are ruggedly designed ice crystal houses, towering watchtowers, and massive war fortresses and other defensive structures...

Without exception, all of these buildings were constructed using solid ice!
Above, Cao Xing saw ice giants, just like Gal and Harrag, every so often.

They carried massive weapons and patrolled back and forth along the edge of the city wall.

Below the city walls, hordes of ice nest monsters and White Walkers relentlessly assaulted this magnificent defensive line.

But soon, they were blasted into pieces by the dense defensive equipment on the city wall, and they couldn't even get within a kilometer!

Although the scenes of the war were astonishing, the situation did not seem as serious as Gar and Harrag had described.

Cao Xing turned his head and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

The giant Harrag understood Cao Xing's meaning and explained, "My powerful human lord, this is not the area most severely affected by the disaster."

"Those cunning ice nest monsters and the army of White Walkers will unite and attack the same area."

"Currently, the entire Frostsworn Wall defense line consists of four main battlefields and countless smaller battlefields. Each main battlefield is constantly being attacked by massive numbers of Ice Nest monsters and White Walker armies!"

"Among them, there may even be legendary ice nest monsters and White Walkers from time to time."
