The vast world was covered in white snow.
At the peak of the North Pole, there was a flash of light. A man wearing a magnificent armor with intricate patterns appeared out of nowhere. He looked like he was in his twenties, but his eyes were as calm as the water in an ancient well.
Behind the man, there was a flash of light, and several figures walked out. They were a burly man, a handsome young man, and an enchanting woman. Among them, the handsome young man frowned and said, "A broken space, the entrance is so small. Humph!"
"Let's go!"
The young man at the front calmly said. He glanced at his surroundings, and his eyes became much more relaxed. Immediately, his body moved and rushed into the distance.
"It looks like the age of volcanoes hasn't come yet."
Ye Chen looked down at the snowy land and calmed down. He immediately opened his communicator and contacted his sister Ye Zhu.
"Hello, the number you have dialed is no longer in service." The communicator said.
Ye Chen paused for a moment, then frowned, "Not in the server?
According to what I said, the White Dragon and Mo Feng had entered a special space to train. Could it be that they haven't come out after so long? Or, did something happen in Guang Ming Base City? "
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Hey, wait!" Ka Ba shouted behind him.
Ye Chen paused and turned around, "What's the matter?"
Ka Ba's expression changed and he said angrily, "Now I have fulfilled your promise. You should take out the powder of the Star of the Seal from our bodies, right?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Don't say such a stupid thing again. When I have the ability to escape from your hands, I will take it out."
Ka Ba said angrily, "Do you want us to follow you all the time?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Smart."
Ka Ba almost spat out blood. He was so angry that his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "When the time comes, if you turn around and deal with us, I will be at your mercy!
You better let me go today. Otherwise, I will kill you even if I have to die! "
He had no choice.
Now that he was restricted by Ye Chen, if he waited for Ye Chen to grow strong enough to deal with him, then it would be difficult for him to escape. He could only wait for death!
Since that was the case, he might as well go all out!
Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment. Then he said, "How about this? The next time we sign a contract talisman, you only need to obey me for 100 years. Then I will release the powder of the sealed star and let you leave!"
Ka Ba widened his eyes and said, "100 years?
Are you kidding me? I don't want to follow you for so long! "
In truth, what he was more wary of was the fact that Ye Chen was already capable of such frightening schemes despite his current level of strength. Given how quickly he was able to advance his cultivation in the future, it was unlikely that he would be able to reach the Semi-Divinity realm within a short hundred years.
Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he said, "Then what do you want?"
Ka Ba gritted his teeth and said, "Ten years!
I'll follow you for ten years at most! "
Ye Chen frowned and said with a displeased expression, "No way!
At least 50 years! "
Ka Ba said angrily, "No matter what, I'll follow you for 20 years at most, not even a day more. If you want to agree, then agree. If you don't, then forget it!"
Ye Chen was silent for a moment and said unhappily, "Then it's settled. However, within these 20 years, you have to guarantee my life. Otherwise, if I die, you will die too!"
Ka Ba said, "Who needs you to remind me so many times? Are you afraid that I don't know?
Humph! "
"Then let's go!"
Ye Chen's expression returned to normal, but he was quite satisfied in his heart. According to the calculations of the ruins, a great war might break out in 10 years. Whether or not he could survive 10 years was already a problem, let alone 20 years. Originally, he had planned to let Ka Ba stay by his side for two to three years and he would be satisfied.
"Wait!" Ka Ba said.
"What?" Ye Chen frowned and turned around.
Ka Ba looked at the 15 mummy puppets behind him and said with a shrug, "Don't you have that space? Help me put these puppets inside. They have no energy and cannot fly by themselves."
Ye Chen glanced at the puppets and said coldly, "Only this time. If you can't make use of these scrap metals in time, then don't keep them in the future."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and opened the rune space. It was filled with the flesh of the fish monsters. He pointed his finger and the flesh was placed into the cold storage room of the fire civilization.
The spaciousness of the fire civilization's space was several hundred times that of the rune civilization!
"Rune flying ship." Ye Chen raised his hand and waved.
Whoosh!
The rune flying ship buzzed and flew out of the space, revealing itself in the sky. Its whole body trembled and the smell of blood that had accumulated on it was dispelled. It became clean and pure.
"Come on up!"
Ye Chen glanced at Ka Ba and took the lead to walk onto the rune flying ship. The old Green Rune Man walked out of the cabin and rubbed his hands, nodding and bowing. He laughed and said, "Why are you in such a good mood today? Want to fly the ship for fun?"
Ye Chen looked around and said, "Check how far is this place from Guang Ming Base City?"
The old Green Rune Man closed his eyes and sensed. He smiled and said, "It's not that far. In your spiritual civilization, this is the North Pole. With the normal speed of the ship, it will only take 10 minutes to fly there."
"The North Pole?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly. "I didn't expect that the passage under the South Pole would appear in the North Pole … With my flying speed, it will take a lot of energy to get to Guang Ming Base City from here. It will take me 16 hours to get there."
Whoosh!
At this time, Ka Ba led a group of mummies and flew onto the ship. Ka Ba looked at the ship in surprise and nodded. "Not bad, there is a demigod-level transportation tool.
“
Ye Chen did not say much. Seeing that all the mummies had boarded the ship, he ordered the old Green Rune Man to start the ship and fly towards Guang Ming Base City.
With the advanced technology of the runic ship, it had an automatic positioning and navigation system. It could be set up easily.
As the ship started to move, a wave of boiling heat spread out from the back of the ship. Like a beast that was ready to attack, it suddenly shot out. Wherever it passed, clouds and fog were broken. With a long cloud tail, it rushed towards Guang Ming Base City.
Ye Chen and the others stood in the cabin. Although the speed of the spaceship was extremely fast, they could clearly see the scene outside through the deceleration glass. They saw that the ground below was a vast expanse of snow. After a few minutes, they had crossed over a dozen glaciers, snowy mountains, and many countries.
Seven or eight minutes later, they had entered China from the North Pole.
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen looked around and saw a place in Xinjiang. The ice that covered the desert had actually melted at some point in time, turning into a clear river. There were many fish monsters in the river, such as Sword-eyed Fish, flood dragons, Howling Tooth Beasts, and so on.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed and he frowned slightly. There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
…
Hubei, Shennongjia.
At the headquarters of Guang Ming Base City.
Many people were digging day and night to collect the bodies of the monsters in the ice. A year and a half had passed, but everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. Because on the way, the food reserves of the base city had been used up. There was a shortage of food, so they had to dig every day.
With the population of the entire base city, one or two Flood Dragons were needed every day.
The ice was very thick, and it was difficult for ordinary people to dig. A person with a Level-100 Constitution could not dig a hole that was dozens of meters deep with weapons and great effort.
It was a drop in the bucket, and the supply could not meet the demand.
Moreover …
Guang Ming Base City was relatively better, but China Base City was in a difficult situation. Although there was a large population, most of them were ordinary people with weak Constitution, only Level-1 or Level-2 Constitution. They did not have the strength to find food in the ice, but they had to go out and work in groups to dig.
The army of the base city could only dig out enough food for their own use. Even if there was extra food, it would not be much.
As for these people with weak constitutions who worked in groups to dig for food outside, they became the prey of those with average constitutions who had sharp eyes.
In the early days, something strange happened in China Base City.
Often, a large group of people would go out and never come back. These people's friends buried their suspicions in their hearts. However, as more and more people disappeared, there was a lot of debate.
In the end, under Murong Xue's scheme, they found out that these people were all hunted by a hunting group and became food.
That gang was eventually wiped out, but later on, similar gangs appeared one after another.
Some of them were even afraid of Murong Xue, so they targeted Guang Ming Base City and implicated the base city.
When Xu Tianguo heard the news, he was furious. He sent a lot of people to reorganize and eliminate many of these groups.
With the strength of Guang Ming Base City and Ye Chen's support, no one dared to say anything even if they overstepped their boundaries. As a result, violence was used to curb violence, and the cannibalism incident calmed down a lot. However, it was still not completely eliminated.
In Yichang City, Hubei Province.
On a piece of white ice, two small black figures were carefully crouching. These two people's clothes were tattered like beggars, but their bodies were as white as snow. Their skin was not delicate, but it was very clean. During the ice age, the last thing they lacked was water.
"Brother, look!" A clear and melodious female voice rang out with a hint of pleasant surprise.
"What's the matter?" The boy with the bigger head quickly turned his head.
"Look, this red-scaled fish is very close to the ice. We only need to dig two or three meters to get it." The girl was surprised.
The boy's eyes lit up, "Really?"
He hurriedly walked over to take a look and immediately saw a ferocious-looking fish beast with fiery red scales all over its body frozen in a snow-white ice. He said in surprise, "This red-scaled fish beast has a Level 100 Constitution. It's enough for us to eat for a few days!"
"Quick!"
The two quickly took the small shovels from their shoulders and started to dig at the ice.
These two people were very weak. The boy was about level 10, and the girl was slightly weaker, only level 5. They were at the bottom of the base city. After digging for a while, they were tired and sweating. They rested for a while and continued to dig.
Suddenly —
A strange laughter sounded, "How lucky, to meet two children in such a secluded place. Tsk, tsk, their little arms are so white and tender. I wonder how they taste?"
