"Ha!"
Boom!
Gao Yuan leaped high into the air and slashed out with his broadsword. A small iceberg in front of him was split into two. An Illusion Realm Ice Beast hiding behind the iceberg was cut in half by this fierce slash.
Countless ice cubes fell like raindrops. Gao Yuan's figure flashed and swept past the corpse of the Ice Beast. A black Life Crystal larger than a fist appeared in his hand.
"You've killed five Ice Beasts today, haven't you?
You're really lucky! "
Gao Yuan had just put the Life Crystal into his storage bracelet when a bald old man in a black robe appeared beside him and said with a smile.
This person was Grand Duke Hong.
Gao Yuan carried his broadsword on his shoulder and patted a few ice particles off his shoulder. He laughed and said, "It's getting late. We should go back. Otherwise, we'll be finished if we encounter a 'white tide'."
Grand Duke Hong looked up at the sky and nodded.
At this moment, a curved white line had appeared in the sky. This white line was growing at an extremely fast speed.
When this white line completely covered the sky, the most terrifying white tide in the Cold Zone would come. At that time, the world would be white, and the temperature would drop to the point where it could instantly freeze an Illusion Realm cultivator to death.
The two of them flashed between the icebergs and soon disappeared.
The Ice Beasts killed by Gao Yuan looked similar to snow leopards. They were covered in white fur and had huge bodies. An adult Ice Beast could be as long as five meters. The higher their level, the larger their bodies would be.
Legend had it that the most powerful Ice Beast King in the Cold Zone was sleeping underground. If it woke up and moved, the entire Cold Zone would shake.
Ice Beasts moved extremely fast and hunted other exotic beasts in the Cold Zone for food. Among the exotic beasts in the Cold Zone, they were at the top of the food chain.
There were many types and numbers of other exotic beasts in the Cold Zone. However, due to the harsh climate in the Cold Zone, it was still incomparable to the Flame Zone.
After Gao Yuan and Great Grandfather Hong left, a series of cracking noises came from the ice surface. A large group of white scorpion-like creatures gathered. In less than five minutes, they gnawed the ice beasts, which were over ten meters long, into skeletons.
The bones of this Ice Beast were like crystals, sparkling and translucent. Their blood was also translucent. This was probably the origin of the name 'Ice Beast'!
The creatures that gnawed on the corpses of the ice beasts were known as white lice. They were snow-white, just like the flies on Earth. They were everywhere. They usually stayed away from living creatures and only ate corpses. Their sense of smell was very sensitive. In the Cold Zone, they could smell blood from dozens of miles away.
Swish, swish, swish …
Whistling sounds could be heard.
A large group of white, bat-like exotic beasts with fleshy wings swooped down from the sky.
The white lice that had just finished eating the ice beasts and hadn't left yet were taken away by these exotic beasts. The white lice that had just eaten their fill became food for other exotic beasts.
These creatures that ate white lice were called Winged Spirits.
After the Winged Spirits passed by, the white lice that didn't have time to crawl under the ice layer were all eaten by the Winged Spirits.
Although they couldn't see the white lice, the Winged Spirits still circled this area a few times. After not finding any white lice, they swelled their bellies and flew forward along the side of the ice mountain.
The Winged Spirits couldn't fly high. They flew along the ice mountain and could borrow the power of the air currents.
This was also dangerous.
When the Winged Spirits passed by an ice mountain, a series of popping sounds could be heard. Countless white tentacles reached out from the ice layer.
These tentacles were extremely fast, like the tentacles of an octopus. There were also suction cups on them. A group of Winged Spirits that flew past were attacked by these tentacles. They flapped their wings and flew higher.
However, a group of white birds flew over.
After the white eagle-like birds flew past, only a small half of the Winged Spirits escaped from the tentacles.
This kind of eagle-like bird had a wingspan of five meters. It had two sharp claws, and at the end of its wings was also a pair of sharp claws.
This kind of bird was called "Sky Foothill." It was the king of the skies in the Frozen Area.
After the Sky Foothill flew away, suddenly, there was the sound of wind blowing.
A Frost Beast that was six to seven meters long jumped over like lightning and stopped on the ice layer where the white tentacles had appeared.
At this time, there were still many holes on the ice layer.
The Frost Beast used its two sharp front claws and began to dig at the ice layer. In a short while, its entire body was under the ice layer.
"Rumble …"
After a while, the ground began to shake. The gigantic Frost Beast retreated from the hole it had dug. The ice layer within dozens of meters of it began to bulge.
PENG!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound. The Frost Beast used its mouth to pull out a ball-shaped creature with a large clump of tentacles. Using both its mouth and claws, it quickly tore the creature called the Meido Beast into pieces and began to feast.
Before the Frost Beast could finish eating the Meido Beasts, the white line in the sky had already covered a large part of the sky and was emitting a bright white light.
At this time, it was the brightest time in the Frozen Area.
However, the temperature was dropping at an extremely fast rate.
The Frost Beast that was still not full looked at the sky and roared. It took the largest piece of meat and ran down the ice mountain.
A few minutes later, the Frost Beast had entered an ice cave at the foot of the ice mountain.
The ice cave was very deep and had many twists and turns. It was hundreds of meters underground.
When the White Tide came, they would only be able to avoid being frozen to death by hiding under the ice layer.
After Xi Chen Youyou and the others came to the Frozen Area, they had lost many people before they were able to familiarize themselves with the changes in the climate here.
Gao Yuan and Grand Duke Hong ran through the ice mountain for about twenty minutes before they entered an ice cave. They were the last to return. As soon as they entered the ice cave, the two guards guarding the cave immediately sealed the entrance.
After the White Tide came, it would last for about a hundred hours. After the White Tide had passed, a star would appear in the sky.
At this time, the humans and animals that lived in the Frozen Area could come out and move around. Then, after a hundred hours, the White Tide would come again.
In truth, the White Tide was equivalent to a night where they could not go out.
In the Flame Area, there was food called 'Strong Grain', and in the Frozen Area, there was food called 'Satiation Fruit'.
The name of this food sounded a little vulgar, but it was the main food of humans and vegetarians in the Frozen Area.
The Satiation Fruit first grew in naturally formed ice caves and covered the walls of the ice cave. Its roots could reach hundreds of meters deep into the ice layer. The fruit that grew was as big as a football. When it matured, its shell would turn yellow, and it could be picked.
The Strong Grain was only delicious when it was cooked, and the Satiation Fruit could be directly cracked open the hard and crisp shell. One could use a spoon to dig into the flesh inside, which was like a dragon fruit. It tasted sweet.
While walking in the ice cave, Gao Yuan and Grand Duke Hong casually picked the Satiation Fruit from the ice cave wall and ate as they walked.
After eating, there was a long, finger-thick seed in the Satiation Fruit. Gao Yuan and Grand Duke Hong inserted the seed into the ice cave wall. In less than ten days, the two seeds would sprout and grow.
The Satiation Fruit and the Strong Grain were like treasures bestowed by the gods to humans. People who were born in the Frozen Area and the Flame Area would not starve even in the harsh environment.
Xi Chen Youyou brought most of the experts of the Eternal Temple to this world.
Many years ago, she came to this world under the protection of Heluo Yangli and saw a more exciting world.
After returning, she could not forget that she had always wanted to lead the cultivators of that world to this world.
However, the conservative Superstar Temple thought that she was a heretic …
Sitting on the chair in the Ice Palace Hall, Xi Chen Youyou recalled the situation in the previous world.
When they first came to this world using the Wei Kong warship, they suffered a lot. First, they faced the harsh environment, then they fought with a tribe in the Frozen Area, and many people were killed or injured.
Now, Xi Chen Youyou had less than three thousand people under her command.
According to the ancient rules of this place, Xi Chen and Youyou were considered as outsiders. Although they had killed a second-class tribe, they could only be considered as a third-class tribe. Every once in a while, they would have to hand in a certain amount of Life Crystals or Lice Crystals.
Otherwise, they would be in danger of being exterminated.
Although they did not appear in the right place, Xi Chen Youyou's plan had delayed for a long time. But now, the situation was almost back to the trajectory of her plan.
This ice palace which was thousands of meters below the ice layer had just been built. The previous tribe was too barbaric. It was just a simple ice cave. Each family had to dig a small cave for themselves to live in …
Xi Chen Youyou obviously did not like this situation. She used the thousands of people who had been defeated and captured to build such an exquisite ice palace.
The building material of the ice palace was a kind of white rock wrapped in ice.
This rock material was fine and was good for carving runes. While the entire ice palace was built to be grand and exquisite, Black Talisman Lord had also set up many defensive rune arrays.
Among the people who came to this world with Xi Chen Youyou, Yang Tian knew other than Gao Yuan, Grand Duke Hong, Black Talisman Lord, and Immeasurable Starlord.
Although Immeasurable Starlord did not join the Eternal Temple, he had helped Xi Chen Youyou a lot.
"How was your trip this time?"
Gao Yuan and Grand Duke Hong had just reached the gate of the ice palace to see Xi Chen Youyou when Immeasurable Starlord appeared and asked them with a smile.
"Not bad!"
Gao Yuan replied with a smile.
Grand Duke Hong nodded to Immeasurable Starlord with a smile.
The three of them greeted each other and turned around to look at the gate of the ice palace.
They had been in hiding for so long. It was time to go out.
Their foundation was built here. But this world was huge. It would be a pity if they did not go out and explore.
It had been a long time since they last saw Black Talisman Lord. It was said that he had left the Ice Region. They did not know if he had gone to the Clouds Region or the Yan Region …
The three of them looked at each other and stepped into the ice palace.
…
After a rumbling sound, a ray of blue light appeared not far away.
Yang Tian frowned and carefully walked over.
The door of a stone room was opened. There was a teleportation formation disk inside.
"Whew ~"
Seeing the teleportation formation disk, Yang Tian breathed out. He had finally passed the sixth level.
This stage was simply too strange for him. Everything that happened was simply inconceivable.
The first thing was that he saw a giant warship in the sky. The second thing was that beasts turned into insects. The third thing was that he saw living runes.
If the talisman array of this level was man-made, then the person who had constructed the talisman array of this level was really terrifying in terms of talisman scripts.
The cave was very deep. He could go even deeper. What had happened before had made Yang Tian very curious about this place.
Looking at the teleportation formation, he began to hesitate.
Boom!
Just as Yang Tian was hesitating, the thought of going deeper took over. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.
At the same time, the cave began to shake again.
Yang Tian turned around and could not help but widen his eyes. Giant rocks had fallen from the front and back of the cave, sealing it.
Now, there was no need for Yang Tian to hesitate. He could only leave this place through the teleportation formation.
Yang Tian sighed and walked toward the teleportation formation.
As he was about to leave, the strange program could not appear in front of others. The particles that made up its body spread out and attached themselves to Yang Tian's chest.
After the blue light disappeared, Yang Tian had already arrived at the entrance of the Pulled Wood Hall.
At the same time, the bell rang five times in the Pulled Wood Hall.
That meant that Yang Tian had passed the sixth level.
"Everyone, you can go back the way you came."
A middle-aged man from the Pulled Wood Race appeared at the entrance of the sixth level. After the bell had rung, he said to the onlookers.
While his voice was soft, it echoed in everyone's ears.
Everyone had no choice but to leave.
In less than ten minutes, all the onlookers had left. Only Huie Miaomiao, Ku Man, and the middle-aged man from the Pulled Wood Race were left.
Ku Man was the supervisor of the temple. Naturally, the Pulled Wood Race would not dare to neglect him. As for Huie Miaomiao, she had come with Yang Tian. Since Yang Tian had not left, she had the right to go up as well.
The middle-aged man from the Pulled Wood Race did not say anything. With a wave of his hand, a teleportation formation disk appeared. He then made an inviting gesture to Ku Man and Huie Miaomiao.
…
After Black Talisman Lord left the Cold Zone, he had been heading east. He had suffered a lot. If he had not cultivated runes, he would have died in the mouth of a mutated beast or even been killed by other cultivators.
When he reached the border of the Cloud Zone, Black Talisman Lord suddenly heard about the existence of the Pulled Wood Mountain and the natural rune array. He immediately decided to go to the Flame Cloud Zone to see the natural rune array.
Anyway, his main mission this time was to scout the way and gather information about the outside world.
Although Xichen Youyou had been to this world with He Luo and Yang Li, she had not been to many places. In addition, it had been a long time, so she did not know much about this world.
When Black Talisman Lord appeared on a teleportation formation in the Pulled Wood Mountain, the bell had rung five times.
Black Talisman Lord asked a passerby in an unfamiliar language how he could see the natural rune array.
The passerby he asked merely pointed to the top of the mountain.
"He is so powerful at such a young age!"
"Yes!
He actually broke six rune arrays of the Pulled Wood Race. "
"Such a talent will definitely be able to enter the temple. His future is limitless!"
…
As Black Talisman Lord walked up, the people he met were all talking about breaking the rune array.
Before he reached the top of the mountain, Black Talisman Lord understood that it was a child named Mu Yi who had broken all six talisman arrays set up by the Lamu Tribe in one go. The time taken to break all six arrays was the shortest in history.
