Chapter 480 The Ice Tower Infiltration (1)
After twenty minutes, Jacob came back, and Charlotte turned around while looking at him in scrutiny. He was completely fine, just like when he left. She curiously asked, "What did you say to him?" Truth be told, she thought Jacob was going to do something to Geko, but she didn't sense anything, nor did Jacob seem to be in some fight, so she was now quite curious about why Jacob chased after Geko. Jacob impassively replied, "I just asked him nicely to send some reinforcement if he found any and some other stuff. Nothing too serious, and I think after our heart-to-heart talk, he didn't hold a grudge against me." "You're a strange one." Charlotte chuckled and no longer dug into the matter since Geko was now gone. Jacob shrugged his shoulder and changed the topic, "Anyway, did you find something helpful?" Charlotte became serious as she said, "You told me to look for a possible way to head to the ice tower, right? I think I should be quite problematic because there are too many monsters around the tower. I think they're guarding it. If anything, the only safest way to go there without alerting the monster is to make our own way towards it." Jacob squinted his eyes as he knew what she was suggesting, "You want us to tunnel our way toward the tower? But I don't think it's a good idea. Those guys are masters in ice, and I'm pretty sure they will sense our movements if we try to dig a tunnel under their e feet." Charlotte frowned, "You have a point. Since they are affiliated with ice elements, they will be able to sense such changes. Then what do you have in mind? We can't take the risk of exposing ourselves. It would be very hard to escape if the entire colony of those monsters chased us." "We'll think about it later. First, we need to get out of here. We dug this wall between the pathways created by them, so once someone comes here, they will definitely investigate, and we don't have the skills to seal it way like it was before." Jacob gravely stated. "Hmm…" Charlotte's eyes shimmered, "This might be easy. We can sneak into one of those houses closest to our position. I notice only the weakest among them are closer to the walls." Jacob nodded, "Sounds like a plan. Do you want to take the lead?" "Heh, I'll follow you. I'm very afraid to take the lead." Charlotte shyly answered. Jacob nodded in agreement and didn't say anything as he expected this much since Charlotte wasn't a fool, no matter how much she tried to appear like one. He got closer to the hole and observed the closest houses, which were like ice blocks, to their position. There wasn't any snow monster active in this area, or they might be just resting. "Alright, I'm about to open this wall just enough for us to jump out. We need to move swiftly once I did it before those guys took notice." Jacob sternly stated before he used his sword to slip open a bigger entrance and carefully pushed back the ice block. Once the opening was made, Jacob glanced around and quickly jumped down, and Charlotte followed suit without delay. Both of them were giants, but they managed to land without making any excessive sounds or breaking the ice floor. The next moment, Jacob ran toward the small ice box around ten cubic meters in size. All the house was made in such shape, and the deeper it went into the city, the houses became bigger. There weren't any doors in these ice blocks, and Jacob sneakily glanced inside and found two small monsters lying flat on the floor with their eyes closed. Without hesitation, he swiftly entered and stabbed their skulls with his swords, and before even a drop of their blood touched the ground, they were stored in his space ring. Charlotte appeared pleased with Jacob's swiftness, and now they were inside the house without being noticed by another. "What now?" She asked. "Now, we do the same and make our way deeper until we reach the ice tower," Jacob said matter-of-factly. His plan was simple and more effective than digging a tunnel towards the tower. Furthermore, he had something else in mind as he continued, "You select another house and do the same. We'll move separately. Just in case one of us gets noticed, the other can take advantage of this situation. It's far more effective than moving together and risking being seen." Charlotte was surprised by Jacob's decisive plan, "Aren't you afraid I might use you as bait?" Jacob gave her a cold, hard look, "Try it. Besides, I think you won't do it because if we move like this, we can easily avoid being discovered even if someone comes searching after the disappearance of these guys. We can hide in each other blocks." Charlotte giggled, "And here I thought I might give you some scare. I'm starting to wonder if you are really not afraid of death or just simply too bold and confident in yourself." "Same goes for you," Jacob stated, looking deeply at the charming giant who decided to follow him in this dangerous place. "Don't worry, I found this journey more interesting with you than without you. How about we have a nice meal after we succeed in clearing this shackle?" Charlotte suggested meaningfully. "I don't see any problem with that." Jacob nodded impassively. Charlotte smiled pleasingly, and after confirming no one was outside, she instantly ran toward another ice block a few meters away from Jacob. Now, Jacob was alone in the ice block, and after making sure Charlotte had succeeded in subduing the monster in the block, he took off his mask, and a fresh, warm heart appeared in his hand, and he started to eat it. 'This bastard was quite formidable. I hope his heart will be just as much…' Jacob thought as he ate the raw heart like it was some snack while a warm current coursed through his body. But he didn't just stop there as he took out the hearts of giant monsters and continued eating. If Charlotte were here, she should be able to notice that Jacob's height was suddenly increased by two centimeters!manhua
