Chapter 721: Chapter 529 Heading South_2 Chapter 721: Chapter 529 Heading South_2 “See this? This is your arm.”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, he extended his finger and pressed it on the man’s forearm, then forcefully exerted his strength.
The next moment, the man’s forearm snapped like a toy action figure’s arm being bent backward, breaking instantly. Then, Duanmu Huai abruptly grabbed the man’s shattered and twisted forearm, yanked it hard, and jerked it right off from the man’s upper arm!
“Now it’s not anymore.”
Duanmu Huai discarded the severed arm in his hand, gazing coldly at the man. At that moment, the man’s face had turned pale from sheer agony. His legs instinctively struggled and trembled, kicking the floor desperately, as if it could alleviate some of his pain. Yet, under Duanmu Huai’s Fearful Aura, the man was able to do nothing, even pass out from the pain, only endure the agony that nearly drove him insane.
“Answer me, how many of you are there? Where are the rest?”
“No, none left! There are only four of us left here! Capek and Lorett have already failed! Charlotte has reached the Tartar Gate, and I am the last person from Capek Research Society left here! As for where the other guests in the cabin went …. I don’t know! I don’t really know …. Ahhhhhh!!!”
However, before the man could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai kicked forward, landing straight on the man’s knee. The man’s left leg knee joint instantly crushed under the kick. Then, Duanmu Huai stomped on his twisted lower leg and ripped it off from his thigh – just like tearing apart a well-roasted lamb leg.
“My patience is limited.”
“The, the South Pole! They went to the South Pole!”
At this point, the man couldn’t help but shout out loud.
“I only know this much. They have gone to the South Pole, they said they were going to open the Tartar Gate from there…they said a long time ago there was an inscrutable ancient civilization, and within its relics exists the true Tartar Gate that connects this world! I really only know this much. As for where they went to in the South Pole, I have no idea! I don’t know…ugh… ”
Uninterested in the man’s pleas, Duanmu Huai exerted a bit of force with his finger to silence the man.
“…… Alright, one last question: how did you recognize me?”
“…Everyone in the cabin knows that a bald, fierce-looking, monstrous tall man is trying to stop me….”
Before the man could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai abruptly grabbed his head, twisted it like unscrewing a bottle cap, and then directly twisted the man’s head from his neck. The man’s voice abruptly stopped.
So it is a Cult Organization after all, utter nonsense they talk, who gave you the right to call me fierce-looking?
Although the man didn’t say where they went to in the South Pole, Duanmu Huai was well aware.
In fact, as soon as the man said “South Pole”, he already knew where to find those damned Cultists.
An area south of the Ross Sea and the mountainous region, in the plateau area beneath the harsh, snow-covered frozen land lies slumbering an ancient city.
It was once home to the great beings of this planet, the former rulers and their minions as they lie dormant.
This is also a hot spot holy land for players.
However, compared to other places, going to the South Pole is clearly more troublesome and also more dangerous.
This is evident when Mary learned that Duanmu Huai was going to the South Pole.
“Mr. Duanmu, are you really going to the South Pole?”
“From what it seems now, I can only do so.”
Duanmu Huai nodded. He was not worried about the man lying; after all, Duanmu could clearly see that he had completely breached the man’s SAN value in the system and had driven him into a state of utter insanity. In such a state, he is incapable of keeping secrets.
“Yes, because Mr. Duanmu, you said that the Tartar Gate is in the South Pole, right? Maybe… I think, I might see Shirley there… ”
“Getting to the South Pole is not easy. Can you get permission?”
At Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, the previously quite excited Mary abruptly fell silent. As Duanmu pointed out, not everyone could casually go to the South Pole, let alone the fact that she was just a student with no qualifications to go to the South Pole, unless…
“I remember, you are a history student, right?”
Although Mary didn’t know why Duanmu Huai suddenly brought up this question, she nodded her head nonetheless.
“Does your history department have activities like archaeological digs and collection surveys?”
“This… of course, we do.”
Mary nodded once again. As Duanmu Huai said, the Royal Doctoral Academy History Department often goes out to investigate sites and artifacts. Some students have gone along with them in the past. But those were research society hotshots; regular students like Mary never had such an opportunity or privilege.
“Then there’s no problem.”
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.
Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn’t have social connections, but he doesn’t need them anyway! After all, he still has the Foundation to leverage!
