This aloof girl, capable of single-handedly killing a polar bear, is not weak in combat, but she is far inferior to Genji. Her struggles are negligible, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

Once they were some distance from the village, Yuan Zhinv finally released the girl. Almost the instant she was freed, the girl quickly reached behind her, but before she could draw her gun, it was taken from her.

Fingel twirled the large-caliber pistol; no one saw when he fired it. Meeting the girl's gaze, he grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Girl, stop struggling. We just want to ask you some questions."

"Stop talking nonsense." Compared to him, Yuan Zhinü was much more ruthless. She grabbed the girl's small, fair chin with one hand, forcing her to turn her head to look at her. A molten gold color gradually appeared in her dark eyes.

Those eyes seemed to have become magical. The girl was stunned after just one glance, all her struggles vanished, and she stared blankly at those eyes, her expression blank as if her soul had been suddenly taken away.

Words of Power: Dream Eater.

"Who are you?" Yuan Zhinv asked softly. "What is your purpose in approaching us?"

"The Holy Palace Medical Association has assigned me to be stationed here, and I need to inform all the mixed-race people near the Greenland Sea." The girl spoke blankly, as if she had fallen into a strange state of mind.

Are you a member of the Holy Palace Medical Association?

"Yes, I signed a blood pact with them."

"Do you know the Crown Prince?" Fingel asked, making a cracking sound as he mentioned the name, his eyes as cold as ice.

“I know,” Xiao Yi said. “He is an elder of the Holy Palace Medical Association, but I don’t know exactly who he is.”

Yuan Zhinü and Fingel exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Just as I thought."

Who are the people in the Holy Palace Medical Association? How much do you know about this Holy Palace Medical Association?

"The Holy Palace Medical Association is full of mixed-bloods and pure-blooded dragons. I don't know about the others because my clearance level is too low."

"Pure-blooded dragons? What are those?"

"I don't know, I heard it from someone else."

The girl seemed to be just an informant planted out of nowhere, knowing very little about the situation. She didn't know what to ask next, but judging from the dismissive tone of the three men in black, her authority and status were indeed not high.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, the golden light in Yuan Zhinv's eyes gradually faded. The girl suddenly woke up from her dream and looked at Yuan Zhinv in shock, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

“You’re finished.” She said in a hoarse voice, “You killed their people, and everyone stationed nearby will come to hunt you down.”

"Oh? Is that so?" Yuan Zhinü seemed unconcerned, casually asking, "How many people?"

The girl remained silent. She had a cold face, with very pale hair and eye color, and pale skin. She looked as if she could blend into the wind and snow at any moment, or perhaps she was the wind and snow herself.

Yuan Zhinü, however, was not very concerned about these things; she was already thinking about other issues.

Are there pure-blooded dragons in the Holy Palace Medical Association? Are they a second-generation species? Or a first-generation species? Or perhaps even one of the four monarchs who divided the Black King's power?

And that damned prince, is he Bondarev or... Odin?

With too little information available, it was difficult to make a judgment in a short time. Yuan Zhinv simply stopped thinking about it and began to consider the most pressing matters at hand.

The Water King was no longer parasitizing the corpse, and the Black Dragon had been killed, but the embryo was still nowhere to be found.

So, are there really embryos in the Greenland Sea? And what was the prince's purpose in luring her there?

There are no answers; everything is so elusive and mysterious.

Yuan Zhinv glanced at the screen and saw that there were only two or three days left before the simulator's simulation count refreshed. She decided to use this time to look for traces of the embryo, and then conduct a simulation before deciding on the next step.

As for the present...

"What should we do with this girl?" Old Tang asked, his expression tense. "We can't just kill her, that would be too cruel!"

"Take him with you for now. He's a local, after all. You can ask him for help if you run into any problems," Fingel said, his questioning gaze turning to Genji.

Yuan Zhinü didn't care about any of this and nodded casually. Neither she nor Fingel was in a hurry to leave. They looked at each other and understood each other perfectly.

Xiao Yi couldn't get any more information from them, but weren't there still people from the Holy Palace Medical Association coming to see them?

It would be a waste to ignore such intelligence.

Before they even received any intelligence, an uninvited guest arrived.

A whale song, seemingly from nowhere, broke the silence of this frozen world with its deep, resonant voice.

The sound began as a low hum, like a tremor deep within the earth, penetrating the thick ice and vibrating every spot beneath one's feet, carrying a profound power that seemed capable of shaking the entire ice field.

Gradually, the whale's call became long and melodious, meandering through the air. The call was interspersed with the surging sound of rolling waves, as if a giant whale was stirring up the waves of the deep sea. The power was transmitted through the sound, giving people a sense of irresistible majesty.

An ancient, deep song echoed in the air—the chant of a giant whale, which remained hidden beneath the glacier, not yet revealed.

The singing grew closer, and beneath the thick ice, a massive shadow seemed to be rapidly approaching with the force of thunder.

Chapter 139 Danger Approaching

The melodious, hollow whale song surrounded them. Old Tang looked around, but all he could see was a vast expanse of ice and snow.

"What was that sound?!"

“The whale is singing,” Fingel said. “Haven’t you heard that before, brother? Your knowledge is a bit limited.”

"Is that the point?" Old Tang was about to lose his temper. "Shouldn't the point be why a whale was approaching? With such a loud noise, how big must that fish be!"

Ignoring their discussion, Yuan Zhinu frowned, closed her eyes, and countless formless snakes surged out of her body, quickly burrowing into the ice and swimming in all directions.

Finally, a few hundred meters away, they sensed the enormous creature, something several times larger than the black dragon. The snakes were too afraid to approach, and Genji could feel the fear in the hearts of these little creatures.

The enormous, dark shadow drew ever closer, the ground seemed to tremble, the ice quivered, and the ancient whale or dragon was swimming beneath the ice, creating a slow but powerful ocean current.

The thing's target was quite clear; it came straight for them.

"Have you found your snake? Is it Leviathan?" Fingel asked as he saw Yuan Zhinü open her eyes.

Logically speaking, the students' incantations and such should be kept secret in the academy's archives, so Fingel should have no way of knowing about them. But at this critical moment, he was too lazy to pretend anymore, especially since he had already given himself away.

“I don’t know.” Yuan Zhi’s expression also turned serious: “But it is indeed a huge whale. My snake dares not approach it. It must have dragon blood.”

“If it really is Leviathan, then it’s not just about dragon blood, girl.” Fingel slowly moved his body, his bones cracking and popping.

His left hand was frozen by the extreme cold. If he hadn't been in a state of enhanced bloodline at the time, his arm might have been ruined on the spot. Although he managed to pull through, it didn't look very sharp.

Genji's reaction was even simpler: she drew her crimson sword and stared intently at the rapidly approaching black shadow.

Compared to the two men's serious demeanor, Old Tang looked like he was about to cry: "What are you guys trying to do? Seriously? Aren't you going to run? Are you planning to fight head-on?"

“They can’t escape.” Yuan Zhinv said, “Didn’t you realize that this thing is coming for us?”

"What should I do?"

Yuan Zhinu shoved the girl who was indifferently watching the show into Old Tang's arms: "Move aside and hide!"

In reality, she was far less calm than she appeared. Her hands, gripping the long sword, were drenched in sweat. She had died at the hands of this giant whale in the simulator, and judging from the simulation, this whale was far more powerful than the black dragon.

No one knows for sure whether it is the Dragon King or not. The only certainty is that this thing is extremely dangerous and is definitely beyond their current ability to resist.

But how did it find them? After entering the Greenland Sea, they only caused a huge commotion at the Black Dragon's location, but they quickly retreated. How did this whale track them down?

Moreover, their target was so clearly defined, as if their location was known precisely.

The ground suddenly shook violently, as if something enormous was crashing into the ice. The giant whale dived into the deepest part of the water and swam upwards at full speed. When it got close to the ice, it suddenly turned around and swung its tail.

Fingel had heard that a whale's tail could smash a small boat, but he never imagined it would use such a primitive yet barbaric method to destroy the ice.

Each impact from the giant whale caused the ice shelf to crack. Although this ice shelf, which has been around for millions of years, still maintains its majestic shape, its interior is already riddled with cracks. Under the attack of that behemoth, the ice layer actually showed signs of breaking apart.

Once the ice is broken, the whale can use its extreme cold spells on them, or even drag them into the sea, at which point it will be its domain.

Amidst the violent turmoil, Old Tang could barely stand, his face filled with fear. But when he looked around, he was shocked to find that, apart from him, everyone else seemed calm, though the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Time was of the essence, and having come to no avail, the young girl decided to put her mind at ease for the time being. She turned to Fingel and said, "I'll hold this thing off for a bit, and you can find a chance to take them away."

"Hey junior, are you talking to me?" Fingel's eyes widened, looking a little troubled. "I'd love to say yes, but can you handle this big guy?"

"This thing might really be the king of the ocean and water. Isn't it a bit too outrageous for a junior to take on the Dragon King alone?"

Yuan Zhinv said expressionlessly, "If I can't even handle it, what are you staying for? To feed it?"

“Junior, your words are so hurtful.” Fingel sighed, “But I could at least have helped you out. You just pulled me out of the sea, and it would seem really unkind of me to just turn around and leave…”

He scratched his head and turned to look at the indifferent Xiao Yi: "Hey, little girl, can I borrow your knife?"

Xiao Yi looked over coldly without making any move. This girl seemed to have no sense of being a prisoner and didn't care whether something terrifying was approaching. She acted as if it was none of her business.

Old Tang reached behind her and pulled the short blade tied around her waist. The girl didn't resist; her light blue eyes showed no emotion, like a doll that neither cried nor laughed.

However, the situation was urgent and no one had time to pay attention to her strange behavior. Old Tang threw the knife to Fingel, who caught it.

The short, rough blade suddenly turned black in his hand, and countless black flames ignited on the blade. The black blade light extended the length of the blade again. In the blink of an eye, a long blade with a twisted and strange shape appeared in his hand.

Yuan Zhinü could even feel the scorching heat emanating from the sword; the approaching snowflakes melted before they could even fall, carrying with them billowing white steam.

Fingel looked completely unconcerned, his expression suggesting he had just opened a Swiss Army knife to cut fruit.

"Junior, if this thing breaks through this ice layer, we'll probably have to swim out. Why don't we take the initiative? What do you think?"

Yuan Zhinü nodded, casually swung her long sword, and bright red flames began to burn, filling the air with the stench of blood.

"Excellent!" Fingel exclaimed, his muscles bulging again.

After saying that, he leaped out and cleaved the ice in two with a single stroke.

Behind him, the girl raised her knife and swung it down at the enormous creature beneath the ice crack. The scarlet blade flashed like the sword energy in a martial arts novel, silently disappearing into the cold seawater and stirring up a ripple.

And in her eyes, a blazing, golden flame burned.

Chapter 140 The True King of the Ocean and Water!

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and under its cold light, the centuries-old ice layer shattered with a deafening roar. A huge, deep crack, like a hideous wound, spread rapidly across the ice.

The whole world was shaking violently, and seawater was gushing out from the ice cracks like geysers.

A huge shadow was moving beneath the ice crevasse, and Fingel could even see the deep, old scars on the giant whale's body.

What a terrifying behemoth it was! It was impossible to see how big it really was; it was like a mountain moving in the water!

The waves it created as it swam were nearly a kilometer wide. The Secret Society's records had never mentioned a dragon of such enormous size. It was more like the legendary Black Monarch who died on a mountaintop, whose black wings could cover the entire mountain.

However, because it was so enormous, Leviathan had no time to dodge the sudden blade.

An absolute killing intent was conveyed, the skin on the giant whale was torn apart, Genji crouched slightly, her calf muscles suddenly exerted force, she suddenly leaped to the side of the crack, and swung her knife again at the huge black shadow below.

Genji lowered her head, and those pale scales grew back on her body, as if she were wearing a layer of hard armor. Her gaze pierced through the black sea and looked straight at the huge whale in the depths of the sea.

Countless wounds tore open on the giant whale's body, and large amounts of blood entered the seawater. The seawater gushing out from the ice fissures was tinged with blood, and the ice shelf beneath its feet turned from blue-white to blood red.
