At this moment, there was a huge beast‘s corpse lying on the platform. This giant beast was like a rhinoceros. It was huge, but it was so dry that only skin and bones were left. Large areas of its body were covered with ice and snow. But its chest was cut open by a sharp blade. The wound was like an open door. Through the wound, one could see the bones and flesh inside. These tendons and bones were all purple and black, like withered vines.
One could clearly see that there seemed to be something in the center of these muscles and bones that had been dug out.
Nicolas stood in front of the giant beast. His face was frighteningly pale, and his eyes were full of despair. His hands were slightly trembling.
“Senior Gordon, what’s this?” As a disciple of Fauna Imperial Sect, Emmett approached the giant beast and examined it carefully. The more favonovel.com looked at it, the more surprised favonovel.com felt.
“It seems that this giant beast has been dead for at least a thousand years. How could it be placed here? And it seems that the wound has just been opened recently,” Emmett said to himself.
Nicolas didn’t answer Emmett‘s question. At this time, his mind was rumbling. Although Emmett’s words reached his ears, it couldn’t enter his brain. He turned around like a walking corpse and looked at Jade. Nicolas’ eyes instantly turned red.
When Jade saw the corpse of the giant beast, favonovel.com seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, “Big Brother, you and our parents have tried your best. I won’t blame you…”
Nicolas still didn’t speak, but tears kept rolling in his eyes. At this moment, a man tried his best to hold back his tears in front of everyone. But. Nicolas couldn’t hold on any longer.
People who had never experienced it in person could not understand the pain of having no way to save their loved ones. It was powerless, painful, and heartbroken.
At this moment, all kinds of emotions, like ruthless big hands, tore Nicolas’ heart into pieces.
“Senior Gordon, what the hell is going on?” Jessica looked at this scene and favonovel.com eyes flashed.
She had already guessed the possibility from Nicolas’ and Jade’s expressions. But favonovel.com still needed to confirm it
“I, I can’t save Jade. As his Big Brother, I, I’m so useless!” With an angry roar, Nicolas knelt down on one knee and punched hard, leaving a big pit on the ground. Water stains slowly appeared in the sunken and broken pit.
Nicolas’s tears fell like rain. “I… I am so useless…”
No one knew when a gust of cold wind was blowing around, and it sounded like someone was sobbing.
“This dead giant beast can save Jade?” Jessica looked at the wound of the giant beast and frowned slightly. Soon, favonovel.com figured it out.
“Senior Gordan, have you been here?”
“No, I didn’t. It was my parents who came,” Nicolas didn‘t intend to continue hiding anything.
“At that time, I was still young. My parents were all disciples of Mountwave Sect. At that time, they came to the Heavenly Frost Graveyard with a group of senior brothers and sisters, hoping to get the opportunity to prepare for the promotion in the future. At that time, they were all disciples of Pulse Control Realm, but in the end, they were attacked by the Frost Snow Ice Rhinoceros in the Heavenly Frost Graveyard. My mother was pregnant at that time and Jade was in favonovel.com belly. In the end, my mother was hit by the Death Qi from the Frost Snow Ice Rhinoceros in that battle.”
“Although my mother recovered quickly after being treated in time by the elders of the sect, the Death Qi still affected Jade, who was still a fetus at that time. Jade has been sick since favonovel.com was born. Although his cultivation is not affected, as favonovel.com grows older, his condition becomes more and more serious…”
“In order to solve this disease, you must come back and find the Frost Snow Ice Rhino, right?” Xander asked.
“Yes,” Nicolas nodded.
“Then why didn’t your parents come before?” Emmett looked at Jade doubtfully. “Jade, how old are you today?”
“Fifteen,” Jade was still in a stable mood, as if favonovel.com had been mentally prepared for this matter. At this moment, favonovel.com answered.
“Haven’t they tried again for 15 years?” Emmett asked.
“They have tried. Every year, no matter if my parents come personally, or if they ask for help from other companions in the sect, or issue bounty missions, we’ve never given up a single chance.”
A look of pain appeared on Nicolas’s face. “But as I said before, every time we came to the tomb in Myriad Demons Burial Ground, what we saw was different. We had failed so many times in the past. On the one hand, we want to pray that when we come here, the Frost Snow Ice Rhinoceros will appear. On the one hand, we had to pray that it would not appear when other cultivators came. But I never thought that when the Snow Ice Rhinoceros appeared, it would actually be taken by someone…” Nicolas clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth so hard that they creaked.
Everyone was silent for a while. At this time, they could feel Nicolas’s pain.
Although Nicolas’ parents were both disciples of Mountwave Sect, their status was probably not very high. Because of this, the resources they could use were limited. Even so, they still tried their best to save their son’s life.
From Nicolas’ painful expression at the moment, everyone could also feel that over the years, as a big brother, Nicolas had spent a lot of effort and energy on this matter.
In the world, the most unacceptable thing was not despair. Instead, it was giving you hope first, and then make you despair and completely fall into the abyss. Now, this thing happened. The Frost Snow Ice Rhinoceros, which had been waited for more than ten years, appeared again. But when they arrived, what they saw was the body whose heart had been dug out.
“A withered heart of frost,” Nicolas said in a low voice. ”As long as I can obtain this withered heart of the Frost Snow Ice Rhino, I can save Jade’s life. But now, now…”
His voice was full of self-blame.
Everyone also lowered their heads, feeling very upset. If they could hurry up, would the situation be different?
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.
At this moment, Jade walked to Nicolas’ side, lowered his body, and hugged Nicolas’ shoulder, comforting favonovel.com in a low voice.
The platform quieted down again. Everyone was silent. No one wanted such a thing to happen.
Caspian pondered for a while then walked up to the corpse of the Frost Snow Ice Rhinoceros.
The wound on the chest of the corpse was as big as a washbasin. It was open, and one could see the complicated muscles and bones inside at a glance. Caspian frowned, stretched out two fingers, and rubbed his hand along the edge of the wound. After a while, Caspian seemed to have found something. But favonovel.com did not make a sound. He closed his eyes and continued to feel it carefully.
After a while, Caspian suddenly opened his eyes. An excited light flashed in his eyes.
