Chapter 2473: Setting the Trap for Who?

The golden sunlight after noon sprinkled on the Bohai Sea, dyeing the restless Dragon King Krill golden.

Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan were a little worn out. It took them a great effort just to kill a lord of the Dragon King Krill.

The whole surface of the sea was crawling with angry Dragon King Krill. They were clustered together and wrapped around one another, forming a giant beast made up of thousands of Dragon King Krill. It looked like a golden dragon under the sunlight!

The two were hiding on a sea stack that was on the verge of collapsing, their backs against one another. Their scalps turned numb upon witnessing the scene before them, but they had nowhere to escape because of the Gravitational Vortex. They could only fight endlessly.

Zhang Xiaohou, theres something I dont understand. If the Forbidden Curse has such a huge coverage area, arent the sea monsters worried it would destroy the Underwater River too? Zhao Manyan thought suddenly while he was surrounded by the danger.

I have the same doubt too, but... Zhang Xiaohou shook his head, like he wanted to say something that sounded unlikely.

The silver veins are intercepting the Underwater River. If the Forbidden Curse focuses on a specific part of the Underwater River, it can easily destroy the silver veins. Even if the sea monsters did control the troop that had chosen the coordinates of the Forbidden Curse, how could they guarantee the Forbidden Curse wouldnt destroy the Underwater River they have dug out with such great effort? Zhao Manyan persisted.

He had no idea why he was pondering the question at a time like this, but he felt like he had to find out the truth, even if his death was approaching.

In order to destroy the silver veins without damaging the Underwater River, the Forbidden Mage has to be familiar with the situation at the bottom of the sea and the locations of the silver veins to control the damage of the Forbidden Curse, Zhang Xiaohou replied.

Zhao Manyan turned around and stared at Zhang Xiaohou.

The Forbidden Curse was being used to destroy the silver veins, which would allow the sea monsters to travel freely along the Underwater River.

However, the Forbidden Curse was too powerful. Not only would it destroy the silver veins, it would destroy the Underwater River, too!

If the sea monsters wanted to get their way, not only did they have to set the coordinates of the Forbidden Curse on the silver veins, the Forbidden Mage had to control the damage of the Forbidden Curse precisely!

The requirements are very strict. It comes down to the Forbidden Mages will, Zhao Manyan hinted strongly.

If Zhang Xiaohou was wrong, the Forbidden Mage was innocent.

If Zhang Xiaohou was right, it meant the Forbidden Mage was...

Zhang Xiaohou did not respond further to Zhao Manyan. He just smiled wryly. Zhao Manyan stopped thinking about it, too.

Zhao Manyan finally understood. The truth was like the glimpse of icy light deep into an abyss, which they did not have the courage to pursue.

Unfortunately, Zhao Manyan did not have a choice. He could only trust Zhang Xiaohou unconditionally.

Zhang Xiaohou did not say anything because nothing he said was going to make a difference. Perhaps he was being tricked by the sea monsters and did not have a clear mind. There was no turning back for him, either!

The Giant Clock Mountain...

There were only six hours until the Forbidden Curse took place.

However, Chief Hua already mentioned the clock was just a ruse. The real Forbidden Curse was already happening. There was no stopping it!

The two Forbidden Mages were staring at Mo Fan, but Mo Fan was looking at the Gravitational Vortex in the distance.

There were no destructive lights or power that was going to destroy the world. Mo Fan was confused about who to believe all of a sudden.

Is it falling or not? What exactly is going on!? Mo Fan snapped.

The chiefs eyes had a dark light to them. He was looking in Mo Fans direction.

On closer inspection, Mo Fan noticed his gaze was actually fixed on the old Ice Emperor standing in the Magic Formation!

Mo Fan, stand back! The chief suddenly unleashed a fierce aura.

He was just standing there, but Mo Fan could sense the sky behind the man turning into a black tsunami, devouring everything within its reach.

Hehehe, ordinary humans shouldnt be involved in the war between gods. I should have noticed this operation on the Giant Clock Mountain was a trap. The Energy Points were filled earlier than expected, and another Forbidden Mage remained here throughout the operation, the Ice Emperor laughed.

Mo Fan was completely puzzled when a loud blast suddenly echoed on the Giant Clock Mountain. The huge clock suddenly released a sacred light. It covered the land and the surface of the sea with a golden sheen!

A few Forbidden Mages went to the Land of Ice at the South Pole and died. After that, the sea level began to rise as the sea monsters went on rampages, invading the land.

Mo Fan, the Ice Emperor standing in front of you was one of the survivors who went to the South Pole.

Look at his eyes.

The chiefs voice rumbled like thunder and echoed in Mo Fans ears.

Mo Fan turned around to look at the Ice Emperors eyes. The sacred light shining down from above was suddenly directed at the Ice Emperor like a mirror covering the land, focusing the heavenly light on a specific point.

A dark shadow emerged from behind the Ice Emperor and replaced his inviolable temperament. It was a demonic figure, capable of shrouding the light of the sun and the moon!

Strange lines had filled his eyes. His emotions were no longer those of a human. There was no sign of joy, anger, or sorrow, but an innate belief that treated all living creatures with disdain!

In the end, Ive underestimated the strong ones among you humans, the Ice Emperor said coldly.

The Ice Emperor had just realized what was happening. The Forbidden Curse was meant for him, instead of the Dragon King Krill!

Leader of the humans, you have intrigued me.

You have won this time. But its just like chess, you have only moved a little pawn across the midline.

This proud old man came to my kingdom and berated me, claiming he had come as the strongest representative of the humans to take me, the South Pole Emperor, down. In the end, he was begging me not to kill him. He was willing to sacrifice everything just to stay alive.

So he became my puppet.

The Ice Emperors eyes changed again. He now looked like a mere puppet. His face twisted in pain despite how he was talking.
