Following the strange laughter, a group of burly men wearing animal skins and holding steel axes slowly walked out from behind a snowy mountain. There were four of them in total. All of them were tall and sturdy. Their faces were full of beard and their muscles crisscrossed like steel bars. Some of them had scars on their faces and some of them only had one eye.
When the brother and sister saw them, they were shocked. Their faces turned pale and they broke out in cold sweat. The hand holding the shovel trembled slightly. The boy gritted his teeth and took a step forward. He stood in front of his sister and said anxiously: "Go!"
"Brother …" The girl shed tears.
"Go!"
The boy pushed the girl away. Because it was on ice, it was very slippery. The girl was pushed dozens of feet away.
"Humph!"
The one-eyed man, who was the leader of the burly men, sneered. He threw the axe in his hand. It was as fast as lightning. With a whoosh, it hit the boy's face.
The boy was shocked. He turned around to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the axe was as fast as the wind. It missed his head but hit his left shoulder. It was deeply embedded in his bone. The intense pain was like a burning fire. He held his left shoulder and screamed. He fell to the ground.
Warm blood flowed out from his shoulder. It was a shocking sight on the ice.
"You two, go and catch that girl!" The one-eyed man was the leader of the burly men. He ordered coldly.
"Yes!"
The two burly men accepted the order. They looked at the girl with an evil smile and rushed over.
The boy was in so much pain that his head was full of cold sweat. He faintly felt a shadow in front of him. He couldn't help but tremble. He looked up and saw a hand full of calluses expand in his eyes. It grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
"Boss, we've caught the girl."
The two burly men quickly came back with the girl in their hands. The latter struggled with all her might but it was useless.
The boy looked sideways and saw the tears in his sister's eyes. He couldn't help but feel grief and indignation. He kicked the one-eyed man with all his strength. His punches and kicks landed on the one-eyed man's body. However, it was like hitting an iron wall.
The one-eyed man held the boy with one hand. The corner of his mouth curved into a cruel arc. He said: "Brat, I'll let you see Chungong Tu later. Then I'll send you to heaven!"
"Hehe …" The rest of the burly men laughed evilly. Their eyes were filled with lust as they looked at the girl.
The girl's mind went blank. In an instant, she was completely disheartened. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "What do you want? I can give it to you. Please let my brother go!"
"Yo yo …" A burly man with a knife scar laughed evilly. "What a touching sibling relationship. Haha, let go of your brother?
Then what are we eating? "
The girl's face instantly paled. She twisted her wrists and struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail. She looked at the boy's figure and gritted her teeth. Her mouth bulged, and she bit her tongue.
"You want to die?"
The scarred man reached out and pinched her cheeks so that her teeth couldn't move. Then, he tore off a piece of cloth from his body and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Don't struggle …" The scarred man sneered. "Wait a moment, I'll make you wish you were dead."
"Hehe …" The other two burly men also laughed. One of them said, "Second brother, you played with that girl last night. You must be tired. Let me have her."
The scarred man laughed and scolded, "Tired your mother. My Invincible Overlord Spear can sweep through a field of flowers. How can you understand it? Be careful or I'll shoot you to Afghanistan!"
The one-eyed man joked, "You only know how to play with women. What else can you do?"
The scarred man didn't think much of it. He laughed and said, "As a man, knowing how to play with women is enough. I can also be like Hou Yi, shooting nine consecutive suns. Dealing with this little girl is a piece of cake …"
"Haha …"
The few of them laughed. When the lewd words fell into the girl's ears, the latter's body trembled slightly. Her pretty face turned pale. It was unknown whether it was from anger or fear.
"You bastards!"
The boy said with grief and indignation. "Boss Guang won't let you go. He'll definitely kill you bastards!"
"Boss Guang?"
The one-eyed man raised his eyebrows and a touch of fear flashed in his eyes. He looked at the boy's stubborn expression and frowned. He sneered and said, "Are you talking about Ye Chen?
Humph, a small fry like you might not know. That Ye Chen went out a year and a half ago and never came back. I heard that the acting president of Guang Ming Base City, Xu Tianguo, tried to call him but couldn't be reached! "
"Hehe …"
"Maybe …" The one-eyed man looked down at the boy and said, "He might have fallen in the wilderness. You know, although he's one of the strongest among us humans, he's nothing compared to the monsters on Earth!"
"Haha …"
The others burst into laughter. Mocking a mythical level character gave them great pleasure.
"Is that so?" Suddenly, a cold voice was heard. The air in this world of ice and snow became even colder.
The one-eyed man's face changed. He turned around and saw that there was no one around. He could not help but be frightened. "Who are you? Don't play tricks. Come out!"
The scar-faced man and the other two men clenched the steel in their hands and looked around vigilantly. The other party must be extraordinary to be able to quietly come to them.
Whoosh!
While everyone was nervously looking around, a gust of cold wind descended from the sky above. They looked up and saw an extremely exquisite, majestic, and vigorous silver-colored spaceship floating among the white clouds. It had black cannons and an eye-catching design that they had never seen before.
The one-eyed man's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze then shifted downwards and landed on the black figure that had descended from the spaceship. It was a man dressed in black. He had a well-proportioned body and a head of black hair that fluttered in the wind. In this extremely cold weather, he was only wearing a thin shirt.
The man in black landed in front of everyone. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the one-eyed man with cold eyes.
Silence!
The cold wind blew and everyone felt that they had lost consciousness.
"God … God of Killing?"
The one-eyed man saw the face of the man in black. His eyes narrowed to the size of a needle. He was shocked and somewhat in disbelief. The man in front of him, whether it was his expression or appearance, was exactly the same as the legendary God of Killing!
The brother and sister were also shocked. They forgot about their current situation and looked at Ye Chen in shock. In their eyes, Ye Chen was like a god, distant and unreachable. Occasionally, they would see Ye Chen's statue at the gate of the base city. This was the first time they had seen him so close. It was like a dream!
Clang!
The steel knife in the scar-faced man's hand fell to the ground with a harsh sound.
Ye Chen took a step forward and came in front of the one-eyed man.
Although the one-eyed man was 2.1 meters tall, a head taller than Ye Chen, in his eyes, he felt that Ye Chen was looking down at him. A pressure as heavy as Mount Tai came over him, making him unable to breathe.
Ye Chen looked down at the one-eyed man and said coldly, "What did you just say? What am I?"
The one-eyed man was shocked. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed. He cried bitterly, "I didn't mean to offend you. I definitely didn't mean to talk about you. I was talking about myself. I said I'm just a fart, a smelly and big fart!"
The scar-faced man and the others hurriedly knelt down and crawled on the ice. Their bodies trembled slightly as they begged for mercy.
Ye Chen glanced at the one-eyed man. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed. The devouring power gushed out and covered the four people. "You're nothing!"
The black light like a curtain enveloped them.
"Ah, ah …"
"No —"
Miserable screams came out from the black light. A few seconds later, they disappeared. The black light shrank and flowed into his body through his fingers, increasing his strength by a millionth.
Ye Chen glanced at the brother and sister. He raised his hand and said, "Let's go."
The brother and sister had no room to resist. They were pulled by an invisible force and followed Ye Chen into the spaceship. With a flash of light, the spaceship broke through the clouds and disappeared in the sky.
Inside the spaceship.
"Thank you, Master Guang, for saving our lives." The boy took his sister's hand and knelt in front of Ye Chen. He was sincerely grateful.
Ye Chen waved casually and said, "It's just a matter of convenience. Children shouldn't run around outside. It's too dangerous."
"Yes!" The boy blushed and nodded awkwardly.
His sister raised her head, revealing her bright eyes and white teeth. She stole a glance at Ye Chen and discovered that this high and mighty, mythical man was only in his twenties, not much older than her. However, from his tone, he sounded like an old man. She couldn't help but find it strange, but she didn't dare to ask.
Not long after, the spaceship arrived above Guang Ming Base City.
Ye Chen looked down through the glass and saw that many ice blocks had been dug out of the base city. There was a huge hole in the ground, and the ice around it was full of bumps and hollows. It was obvious that someone had dug it out.
At the entrance of the relic, a large number of black dots were busy on the ice like ants. From time to time, teams tied up with ropes and carried monsters into the relic.
Ye Chen was relieved. He steered the spaceship and rushed to the entrance of the relic.
Because of the long-term transportation of goods, the entrance of the relic was very spacious. It was big enough for a spaceship more than three hundred meters tall to fly in. However, the arrival of the spaceship attracted the attention of the guards at the entrance of the relic.
"Warning! Warning! This is the headquarters of Guang Ming Base City. Please show your identity!"
The people who were digging around stopped when they heard the announcement. They looked up at the unidentified spaceship in surprise and whispered to each other.
Ye Chen looked calm. The cabin slowly opened. He moved and walked out. He floated in the air and looked at the guards below.
The captain of the guards was shocked when he saw who it was. Then, he was ecstatic. He got down on one knee and said loudly, "Greetings, Emperor Guangming!"
The rest of the guards were shocked when they heard this. They took a closer look and their expressions changed. They quickly got down on one knee and the sound of armor clanking could be heard. "Greetings, Emperor Guangming!"
The crowd's voices spread like waves. All the people who were digging were shocked. They only got down on their knees when they saw the black figure.
