The Heavenly Palace Island Master dug for a long time, but he found that the ice cave was still white, and he couldn't see the top. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then took a step forward. He activated the majestic fire energy in his body, forming the handle of the Yanshen Hammer, and smashed it into the cave.
In an instant, the whole sky was blood-red. Flames rushed in like clouds, and the scorching heat made many people's faces hurt.
Swoosh!
A large piece of ice melted, turning into seawater that dripped down, drenching many people's clothes.
Ye Chen swung the Yanshen Hammer and rushed up. With his current peak tenth-order energy, the power of the Yanshen Hammer increased dramatically. Moreover, with the improvement of his state of mind, he had immersed himself in training in the base city. He had already comprehended the second layer of the Yanshen Hammer and the first layer of the Flame Shield.
The higher the state of mind, the faster one could comprehend martial arts.
Many people with pure hearts could learn a set of profound martial arts with just a little guidance.
Ye Chen's arm strength increased sharply, and the Yanshen Hammer, which was originally a hundred feet tall, slowly increased in size. Countless mysterious runes floated and condensed into a hammer shaft, which vaguely had a murderous aura.
As the second layer of the Yanshen Hammer was displayed, the temperature between heaven and earth soared again, melting the ice in the area. With the bombardment, large pieces of ice were smashed and fell down.
"Me too!"
"Watch me!"
The Purple Cloud Island Master, the white-robed old man, the purple-robed old man, and the others all shouted and helped. They waved their energy, forming thousands of swords and sabers that danced in the air, cutting the ice into pieces. Not long after, they had dug a thousand-feet-long ice cave. Along the way, they encountered a frozen dragon beast. After the ice melted, the dragon beast was lively again. However, before it could celebrate, it was killed by everyone.
"Why is it so thick?" The Heavenly Palace Island Master looked up and saw that it was still covered in snow.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "We need to dig about two thousand feet more. Everyone, let's work harder."
The hardness of the ice was not to be underestimated. Even an adult man with a steel knife could only leave a few scratches on the ice.
After half a day of digging, everyone was drenched in sweat and exhausted a lot of their strength. However, with the help of the Energy Replenishing Pills distributed by Ye Chen, they quickly recovered and continued to work.
As for Ye Chen himself, he had the Source Spirit Grass as a reserve of energy. In the past five months, he had infused the Source Spirit Grass with the energy he had absorbed every day, causing the Source Spirit Grass to be extremely full. There was no need for him to worry about exhausting his energy. It was enough for Ye Chen to replenish his energy a dozen times over.
After ten minutes of digging, everyone finally worked together to break through the ice. As the last layer of ice was broken, a cold wind blew, blowing away the hot air around everyone. They only felt cold and comfortable. If it was an ordinary person, they would have already been frozen into ice.
Ye Chen moved his body and jumped up. The soles of his feet stepped on the smooth ice, but they were as steady as nails. He looked up and saw a field of white snow. The entire world was a world of ice and snow. It was extremely white.
Ye Chen looked up at the sky and realized that the atmosphere was very close. He could see the vast starry sky through the gaps in the clouds. Even the craters on the moon could be seen.
The Purple Cloud Island Master and the others flew up to take a look. They looked around and exclaimed, "This flood is really high. I'm afraid it's thousands of feet high!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly. According to the records of his previous life, even Mount Everest was submerged. One could only imagine!
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then called Xu Tianguo over and gave him some instructions. He put him in charge of leading some elites of the military to purchase water and food resources.
In the Ice Age, only the truly strong could survive.
The weak would either freeze to death or starve to death.
Although there were frozen monsters in the ice, if one's body wasn't strong enough, how could they dig?
The hardness of ice was only slightly lower than that of steel. If one wanted to dig out a frozen monster that was dozens of meters deep with a steel knife in this cold world of ice and snow, they would probably be frozen into ice before they could dig any deeper!
During this period in his previous life, Ye Chen was just a small character. He deeply felt the helplessness of having no one to help him. In this cold world, he could only rely on himself. With a metal knife, he could only search for food. Occasionally, he would even encounter people from other factions and engage in a capture battle. If he couldn't escape, he would become food!
Ye Chen sighed in his heart and slowly walked forward. His white robe had already been frozen by the cold wind and had lost its softness. The slightest touch would tear it apart.
Ye Chen could only summon the Sacred Flame Set. His entire body was wrapped in an exquisite and majestic platinum-colored armor. No cold wind could blow through.
With his current body constitution, he didn't feel cold at all, so he didn't care too much.
After walking for a short while, Ye Chen saw many black shadows in the ice under his feet. They were all frozen monsters. At first glance, the ground was full of frozen monsters!
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He had worked so hard to survive the flood. Now, it was finally time for a good harvest. As long as he had enough manpower, he could start digging without restraint. He could kill all the monsters inside and harvest as he pleased!
In the Ice Age, only the strong survived!
In the Age of Volcanoes, everything died out!
Ye Chen ordered the higher-ups of the base city behind him to send a message to Xu Tianguo to lead the elite members of the base city and use cannons and other weapons to dig out the frozen monsters inside.
At the entrance of the relic that Ye Chen and the others had dug, many iron ladders were quickly set up and rooted in the ice. Many soldiers of the base city climbed up the ladders and followed the instructions of the higher-ups, looking for ice to dig out.
During the period when they were locked in the relic, everyone was starving. They only ate a little bit every day and didn't know if they would die. At this moment, when they saw the frozen monsters under the ice, their eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to climb up and lick them.
Ye Chen asked the Purple Cloud Island Master and the others to help the base city, while he left alone and flew toward the Shanghai area. If he remembered correctly, the ancient world gate was about 300 kilometers away from the coastal area of Shanghai!
"In this era, the gate should have appeared by now."
Ye Chen thought to himself as he sped up. The cold wind whistled in his ears. Below him was a vast expanse of ice. Some of the ice was in the shape of waves, and all kinds of monsters were frozen in it.
"At this time, some parts of Antarctica shouldn't be completely frozen. Many kings of the sea have led their monster subordinates to migrate there. That will be the base camp of the sea monsters in the future. Unfortunately, during the Age of Volcanoes, the earth's tectonic plates reorganized. Humans moved into the relic or the ancient world, and the monsters gained intelligence and moved into the relic or were indirectly attracted by the dark space."
Ye Chen thought to himself as he gradually flew to the Shanghai area. Looking from afar, at the end of the world of ice and snow, there was a small black dot standing between the sky and the earth. It was so eye-catching in this snowy world!
Ye Chen flew toward it. Even though he had seen it once in his previous life, he was still shocked when he saw it now.
It was a black gate that was thousands of feet tall. It stood in the middle of the ice, and there were pictures of 99 different monsters on the gate. It was extremely domineering and magnificent.
Ye Chen landed below the ancient world gate. He looked up and felt a sense of vicissitudes. It was as if the gate had emotions, and it gave off a lonely feeling.
Ye Chen stared at it for a moment and saw a huge handprint in the middle of the black gate. The handprint was about a hundred feet long and had a fierce and murderous aura. It had caused the gate to cave in.
Ye Chen's silhouette flickered as he flew in front of the gigantic palm imprint. He muttered to himself for a moment before stretching out his hand and pressing it against the center of the gigantic palm imprint. Instantly, he felt a unique sensation coursing through his entire body. In the next moment, that sensation receded like the tide as a huge force forced Ye Chen away.
"As expected." Ye Chen smiled bitterly. "I can't open the gate without reaching the Ghost God Realm."
Ye Chen looked at it for a while and then left the ancient world gate. No one knew where the gate came from. Based on Ye Chen's experience in his previous life, he only knew that after the Ice Age, the ancient world gate would automatically appear and wait for a Ghost God to open it!
If no one opened it, the gate would stay there forever.
When Ye Chen turned around and returned to Guang Ming Base City, Xu Tianguo had already led a large number of people to break open the ice and transport the frozen monsters into the base city.
After some of the monsters were cut open, they actually broke free from the ice and turned around to escape. However, they were captured and killed by the Purple Cloud Island Master and the others!
"China Base City and Toswahsin have received the news and are also working on it," Xu Tianguo reported.
Ye Chen nodded slightly. "Mobilize all the people in the base city. Use this time to get more."
"Okay!" Xu Tianguo said with a face full of smiles.
At this time, not only in China, but all over the world, some people who were hiding in the ruins noticed the abnormality outside and came out to dig in the ice and snow.
There were more than three hundred thousand people in Guang Ming Base City. After the previous period, seventy to eighty thousand people had starved to death. Those who were on the verge of starving to death cried when they saw the current situation. They were secretly glad that they had lived for a few more days.
In the North Sea region, in a world of ice and snow, a biting cold wind whistled past.
Suddenly —
A black hole with a diameter of thirty feet appeared out of thin air. In the cold wind, a green hand stretched out from the black hole. A man who was twenty feet tall slowly walked out. He had a stalwart figure and wore black armor. His hands were like a frog's, with flesh between his fingers. There were a few black bumps on his face and he looked extremely ugly. On his head, there was a pair of long black horns!
The black-armored man stood on the ice and snow with an indomitable aura. He raised his head and looked around. His eyes were filled with disdain and a strong murderous aura. "Qing 'er, uncle is here. I will make the murderer who killed you pay double!" He could not hide the strong anger in his voice.
He looked around for a moment, then rushed to the west. His body was like a cannonball, as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed an extremely far area.
