No one knew when, but the snowfall had already stopped in the middle of the night. Even so, the sky was still cloudy and the ice cold northern wind was still whistling as it blew past the lands. Even if one was as doughty as a dragon, they would still s.h.i.+ver involuntarily. This wasn't a physical kind of coldness. Rather, it was a kind of spiritual coldness which was created by the ten thousand li icebound ahead of them.
Stretching his muscles, Long Yi yawned. Slowly turning his glance towards Bertha who had a red face at the tent's entrance, he said with a smile, ”Why are you shouting so early in the morning? Do you know that you are causing a disturbance?”
Bertha scorned and said, ”Seems more like disturbing your spring dream. If we don't move out now, then it will get dark again.”
Bertha was right. As it was currently winter, daytime was short. There wasn't any sunlight in the evening or at dawn, moreover, with the cloudy weather, they really couldn't tell when was daytime. In Long Yi's previous world, whenever the weather was dim and dark like this, people used to run into electric poles.
After wasting time rolling on the bed, the two girls finally got dressed and left the tent with red faces. They looked more charming after doing 'it' with Long Yi and left the tent with their skin glowing and faces flushed.
”Well, let's pack up the tent and move out.” Long Yi shouted loudly. Hearing his command, everyone placed their tents back into their s.p.a.ce rings. It wasn't long before the group stepped into the entrance of the Huangmang Plain.
Currently, Huangmang Plain was a true wasteland. Originally, the gra.s.s that reached up to the waist had been blown to the ground by the northern wind, resembling a layer of very soft yellow carpet. Strangely enough, although the entrance of Huangmang Plain was separated from Proud Moon Empire by one war front, the difference in the environment was unbelievable. First, other than a layer of extremely thin acc.u.mulated snow at the edge of the plain, there wasn't a single snowflake anywhere else. On the gra.s.s, they could see glittering and translucent frost. When the stepped on the gra.s.s, the sound of ice breaking resounded.
”Haha, this is truly amusing.” Bertha cheered while jumping left and right. She was really enjoying this and she appeared just like a playful little girl.
”Wimpy kid, what's so funny?” Nalan Ruyue softly whispered. Apparently, Nalan Ruyue still remembered when Bertha barged into their tent this morning, disturbing the three of them.
Bertha's ears shook as she turned around to look at Nalan Ruyue. She gave Nalan Ruyue a playful smile before returning to her usual antics as her white bushy tail swayed behind her.
”Okay, stop playing. We are going deeper into the plain now.” Long Yi yelled.
The further they went inside Huangmang Plain, the smaller the effect of cold qi. There wasn't a single sign of life qi at the border of Huangmang Plain as all the magical beasts had migrated deeper into the plain.
The group only started to meet magical beasts on the fourth day of their journey. It appeared as if the inhumane ma.s.sacre they suffered at Long Yi's hands several years ago had no effect on the magical beasts. There was still an incredible number of magical beasts roaming about which showed their insane procreating ability. When Long Yi thought about it, Huangmang Plain was extremely large. There were more than ten million magical beasts all around the plain, and the number of magical beasts Long Yi and his group killed in the past could be completely disregarded.
Long Yi summoned all three of his G.o.d-beasts after keeping them in his dark dimension s.p.a.ce for so long. The moment Little Three, the Fire Qilin and the Violent Lightning Beast appeared, crowds of magical beasts fled in all directions. After Little Three became a white tiger cub, its strength had grown very rapidly. However, when Long Yi compared it to the Fire Qilin and the Violent Lightning Beast, Little Three lacked fighting strength. However, Little Three looked extremely impressive compared to the other two G.o.d-beasts. When he saw Little Three, Long Yi was reminded of Long Two. He didn't know if the shadow within his body was able to restore Long Two, but he hoped for the best.
In the past, Long Yi and his group were careful when they wandered around in the Huangmang Plain. However, their strength greatly soared since then and now, they were hundreds, if not thousands of times stronger compared to before. Long Yi's current strength was as different as heaven and earth compared to his strength in the past. Now, the magical beasts in Huangmang Plain already had no threat to Long Yi. Even if he ran into powerful magical beasts, what about that? With three G.o.d-beasts, Wushuang, and of course Long Yi himself with terrifying combat abilities, even if an SSS-ranked magical beast appeared, it would have to bow down and surrender.
After adventuring for 20 days, the group stood on a small stone which was protruding from the ground. They were staring blankly at the pile of debris not far away. The sky above the ruins was still shrouded with a layer of thin dark mist and they could feel a dense dark aura surrounding this place.
”Father, mother, my Holy City's people, Bing Ning is back……” The white robe which Wushuang was wearing fluttered, and with her eyes full of sadness and pain, she looked at the Holy City before her. It had once been a brilliant magical civilization. That used to be her home, but now, only the ruins remain.
Long Yi and other quietly stood behind Wushuang. They didn't disturb her as she needed a place to release her feelings.
After thousands of years, the world had already changed. All of her loved ones were already long buried underground changing into loess. She lost all her friends and family. In such conditions, how could one keep calm?
Suddenly, a drop of glittering and translucent teardrop slid down from Wushuang's face, and the wind blew it onto Long Yi's face. Currently, Long Yi was also feeling heartache. As Wushuang's feelings were always reflected in his heart, Long Yi was sharing whatever Wushuang felt. The feeling of sympathy rose up in him, along with a huge sense of heartache.
”Boundless Prairie is my root. There were amiable people there, and there were fresh flowers everywhere. Lofty Holy City is my home. It is a magnificent civilization and the people there are beautiful…” Wushuang slightly opened her mouth and a melodious singing voice rang out in Huangmang Plain. This was a song that sang praises of the Holy City, but when this song came out from Wushuang's mouth, it sounded really sad instead.
