Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 302: Ice Valley



Chapter 302: Ice Valley

This was a valley, an ice valley.

There was a huge lake in the valley, and there was a waterfall beside the lake. However, both the lake and the waterfall had been frozen. The riverbed and the mountain walls were covered with a thick layer of ice. It looked like a frozen world.

In the middle of the lake was a small island in the middle of the lake. There was a castle on the island, which was also made of ice.

“Stranger…” At this moment, a voice sounded.

The voice said angrily, “Hey, rude stranger, can you not step on my tail?”

Heath looked down and saw a little squirrel that had appeared out of the snow at some point. It was trying to drag the big tail that was stepped on by Heath.

‘A Fire-Tailed Squirrel?’

The squirrel’s fur was fiery red, especially the big tail. When it swayed, there would be some flames coming out. This was a very rare forest demonized creature, a Fire-Tailed Squirrel… It was one of the intelligent species.

Heath moved his feet.

The little squirrel hugged its big tail and said with a pained heart, “Oh, my tail, my cute tail, it’s almost deformed. How can you do this…”

Before it could finish its sentence, two Ice Fruits landed in front of the squirrel with a click. They were picked up on the way here after defeating the Snow Banshee.

After seeing the Ice Fruits, the little squirrel’s eyes lit up with two beams of light. It immediately threw away the tail that it had treated like a treasure and picked up the Ice Fruits. It exclaimed, “Oh! Ice Fruit! It’s a real Ice Fruit! Am I seeing things?”

Demonized creatures generally liked the Ice Fruit, and the Fire-Tailed Squirrels were even more obsessed with it. They would even fight with other demonized creatures to fight for the Ice Fruit or even lose their life.

As it spoke, it used its two small teeth to take a bite. Then, it said with fascination, “Oh! It’s real! It’s a real Ice Fruit! Oh! This intoxicating taste! It has been many years since I’ve eaten it. Ever since the damn banshee sent by the castle took over the Ice Fruit Forest, everything has become a nightmare.”

It turned around and bowed to Heath. “Thank you, young man. Thank you very much for bringing the Ice Fruit to Badak, so that Badak can taste the delicacies of this world again.”

“Badak never owes anyone a favor. If there’s anything you need, I can be of service to you.”

Heath raised his eyebrows.

He looked around the snowy valley and asked, “What’s going on here? Has it always been like this?”

The little squirrel said, “Yes, yes.”

“Ever since the Siren Queen left, no one has taken care of her back garden. Her former subordinates, servants, and guards have occupied this place and become the master of the 64 Star Islands. This is Miss Garcia’s territory.”

“She was the Siren Queen’s former maid of ice. She was responsible for bringing cold food and cool air to the Siren Queen in the hot summer.”

“Maybe her past experiences made her a little crazy. After the Siren Queen left, she turned this place into a world of ice and snow. D*mn it, it’s terrible. No one likes to stay in the world of ice and snow…”

From the squirrel’s bitter description, Heath roughly understood the origins of this Mysterious Sea.

This place was actually a part of Aramsted, a back garden of the Sirens. During the Battle of the Gods, this place had not been damaged because it was in a secret realm.

However, because the sirens left, this place was left unsupervised. The servants and maids had occupied this place, each occupying a mountain as a king. For example, this island used to belong to a maid.

After describing it in detail to Heath, the little squirrel continued to ask, “So, is there anything else I can help you with, young man?”

An Ice Fruit had already been eaten by the little squirrel, and it looked at Heath with a longing look.

Heath then took out another Ice Fruit, and the little squirrel’s eyes immediately lit up, staring at the Ice Fruit.

Heath asked, “Have you heard of the Heart of the Sea?”

The little squirrel replied, “Yes, yes, I know. I know that all of you Wizards are here for this. Every thirty years, you will come here for the Heart of the Sea, the treasure left behind by the Siren Queen.”

“That is something that only very high-level demonized creatures can pursue. Who do you think is qualified to control it in this land after the Siren Queen left?”

Heath raised his eyebrows and pointed at the castle over there. “In the castle?”

The little squirrel nodded. “Yes, yes. Go to the castle. The Heart of the Sea is in Garcia’s hands. If you want it, you have to get Miss Garcia’s permission…”

Huff! Huff!

Just as the little squirrel said this, a sudden gust of wind and snow swept over from afar for no reason.

This gust of wind and snow was really strange. It was as if it was specifically aimed at the little squirrel. Even Heath, who was standing by the side, could feel that the temperature of the little squirrel had suddenly dropped.

The little squirrel shivered. “I can’t say anymore. I can’t say anymore. Miss Garcia is angry. She’s the real master of this land now!”

It shrunk its neck, wagged its tail, and went back to the forest with the Ice Fruit in its arms.

After it disappeared, another voice came from behind the forest. “It’s not safe on the way to the ice castle. When you cross the lake, you have to worry about your feet… Ah!”

Before it finished speaking, there was a scream, and there was no sound at all.

Castle? Feet?

Heath raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the castle behind him, and then set off on his journey.

When he came to the lakeside, Heath first looked at the lake. Because the temperature was too low, the surface of the lake had already formed a thick layer of ice. Heath stepped on it. The surface of the ice was very thick… There was no sign of cracking at all when he stepped on it.

‘Is there anything under here?’

Thinking about how the little squirrel had mentioned to pay attention to his feet, Heath thought for a moment and decided to fly over safely. However, when he cast the flying spell, he discovered that there seemed to be a magic array set up here to counter flying spells. The flying spell could not be cast at all.

If the flying spell could not be cast, then it seemed that he could only walk over.

After thinking for a while, Heath decided to walk over. However, due to the squirrel’s reminder, he still paid attention to his feet when he walked.

However, he did not know whether it was because he misunderstood, or if the squirrel was not referring to his feet at all, but nothing strange happened along the way. Soon, Heath arrived at the other side of the lake. The ice castle was already within reach.

However, at this moment.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

A crisp bell chime suddenly came from the bell tower of the castle.

Heath subconsciously raised his head and looked over. He saw a bell tower standing on one side of the castle. The bell chime was coming from there.

At this moment, suddenly…

Kacha! A crisp sound came from the bottom of his feet.

At the same time, a pair of hands reached out and grabbed Heath’s legs at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Heath’s attention was focused on the bell tower in the distance. The speed of the hands was extremely fast, and before he could react, his legs were already firmly grabbed by the hands.

Then, there was a ‘crash!’ sound.

Heath’s entire body was pulled straight into the icy water below….
