Stoick immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes panicked, his heart racing, and he said hesitantly, "But I'm not ready yet. And look at me now, am I as handsome as I was back then?"
Hiccup was speechless for a moment and said, "You hadn't even met my mother when you two met. How would I know!"
Stoick took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and walked steadily towards Hiccup, saying word by word, "I'm ready, take me to her!"
Hiccup walked forward without looking back, and Stoick followed closely behind, bumping into the ice surface several times because he was distracted.
Finally, they arrived at the garden area in the center of Iceland.
Looking at the young Dragons running everywhere and the old Dragons flying in mid-air, Stoick's gaze was dull, and he couldn't help but think, "Has Volka been living with Dragons for the past 20 years?"
Looking at the gently flowing stream and the green flatland around it, Stoick's gaze swept back and forth, and finally, following the direction of the stream, he found the figure that haunted his dreams.
Volka also saw Stoick, and their eyes met, gazing at each other across the distance.
It was as if there was an electric current between them; after looking at each other, they both turned their heads away, their hearts filled with guilt.
Volka felt guilty for never having returned to see him in 20 years, while Stoick felt guilty for always thinking Volka was dead for those 20 years and never searching for her whereabouts!
Looking at the two people standing still, with such a long distance between them, Hiccup was speechless but also wondering how to help them.
Then, with a thought, a platform of ice immediately rose beneath Stoick's feet, slowly lifting him, and then Hiccup waved his hand.
A slide emerged diagonally from the ice platform, its final destination being in front of Volka.
Stoick knew that he could slide to Volka's front with just one step forward, but he never had the courage to take that step.
Night Fury directly jumped up and swiped with a claw, then looked at Hiccup very proudly, as if asking for credit.
Stoick, caught off guard, fell directly onto the ice surface and slid down the slope to Volka's front.
"Oh! My goodness!"
The two exclaimed almost in unison.
Volka wanted to catch the rapidly sliding Stoick, while Stoick wanted to stand up directly and maintain his composure!
However, the sliding speed was too fast, and Stoick was very large, with stronger inertia; as soon as he stood up, he directly collided with Volka in a full embrace.
Fortunately, Cloudjumper was behind Volka, but Cloudjumper was also pitiful, being directly knocked far away by the huge inertia.
After rolling a few times on the ground, Cloudjumper shook its horned head and watched Stoick and Volka embracing tightly.
Hiccup saw that the two were already embracing and let out a soft sigh of relief. As for the scene of them reminiscing, singing, and dancing to recognize each other later, Hiccup didn't want to see it!
After all, they hadn't seen each other for 20 years and should have some private space to say words unique to them, even some mushy and idiotic things. If he were present, it would definitely be awkward.
Moreover, Night Fury kept biting Hiccup's armor, pulling him to find Bewilderbeast Skadi.
Hiccup naturally understood that Night Fury was still thinking about the deep-sea giant crab, so he could only follow it to find Bewilderbeast Skadi.
Night Fury was slightly nervous when he saw Skadi, but he still proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head.
Hiccup said to Skadi in Dragon Language, "Let's go find something to eat together!"
"Roar~!"
Skadi immediately responded to Hiccup, "Willing to accompany the esteemed Divine Envoy!"
As he spoke, Skadi motioned for Hiccup to jump onto his long tusk and then stand on his head.
Faced with such an opportunity, Hiccup naturally wouldn't let it go; he would then be able to stand on Skadi's head and confront Draeger! Moreover, this would prevent Skadi from being killed by Alpha.
"Plop~"
Skadi directly plunged into the ocean, instantly stirring up a huge splash.
Night Fury originally held its head up proudly, closing its eyes because it dared not look into Skadi's eyes.
When it tried to secretly peek at what was happening, a huge splash of water directly hit its face.
Scared, Night Fury immediately widened its eyes and opened its mouth, and this splash of water accurately hit Night Fury's body, making it roll twice in place.
"Puff~ Puff~"
Because it was scared and opened its mouth wide, Night Fury was choked by the water.
At this time, it was also Hiccup's first time entering the deep sea with Skadi; there was no difficulty breathing as imagined, nor any discomfort.
There was even a feeling of coming home.
The surrounding seawater did not bring much pressure, and it was no different from walking normally on land.
Each time he breathed, he did not directly inhale seawater into his body, but rather directly extracted oxygen from the seawater to supply his breathing.
Therefore, Hiccup was constantly exhaling bubbles in the deep sea.
Skadi swam rapidly with Hiccup, and when the surrounding Hot Pot Dragons saw Hiccup's figure, they originally wanted to come over enthusiastically to greet him.
But when they felt Skadi's Dragon King majesty, they all fled quickly, fearing they would become Skadi's dinner.
Hiccup patted Skadi's tentacle, signaling it to continue sinking to the bottom of the sea!
Hiccup originally wanted to speak, but every time he opened his mouth, seawater would pour in, and he still needed to slowly get used to it.
Skadi understood Hiccup's meaning and directly took him to the seabed 5 kilometers below.
On the pitch-black seabed, where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, Hiccup casually condensed a hollow diamond-shaped ice crystal, and then condensed a Hellfire into the hollow part of the ice crystal.
A simple light bulb was made just like that!
Because a huge light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the sea, it immediately attracted many marine creatures.
Hiccup originally thought of going out to find them himself, but these seafood came to him instead.
So Hiccup was not polite to these seafood at all, and with a thought, he instantly froze them.
These marine creatures frozen in ice didn't know what happened, their confused eyes still rolling aimlessly!
Because Hiccup wanted to eat them alive, he deliberately controlled the temperature of the ice to ensure their lives while freezing them.
He casually threw these ice blocks into the gaps of the barbs on Skadi's back, and then Hiccup continued to move further away…
