"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
The ice wall was deathly silent.
"Nobody said anything?" The Cutter's voice was laced with a cruel excitement. "Very good. Those who didn't make it back alive this time, their families will all be enslaved."
Slaves are unprotected in the camp and are used as expendable objects to test the 'great power' of their opponents when their owners fight.
Sometimes it is used to study monsters, or to give a kind of "great power" with serious side effects, but with abilities such as "healing" and "transferring injuries".
Once you become a slave, the best outcome is actually to become a monster, so you don't have to endure torture.
As for whether there will be a shortage of people in the front-line camps, this is not a problem at all for the holder of the 'Great Power', there are plenty of people above the abyss.
The chill seeped into everyone's hearts.
"What are you afraid of?" the White Light Divine Sword reprimanded. "With us here, what threat can the monster pose besides being impossible to look at? Everyone, stay calm!"
The angel curled her lip, displaying a girlish disdain.
'You're next.' she mouthed silently.
The exploration team continued their journey and finally arrived at the inaccessible area half a day later.
Instead of immediately taking a detour, each team came up with new ideas and prepared new methods after returning once, deciding to try again.
If the attempt fails, immediately detour and continue descending.
Those soldiers were also allowed to be touched.
This is their opportunity.
Many mortals thus gained 'great power' and became high-ranking holders. At that time, they could choose to return to the abyss to enjoy life or continue to explore, find a way to balance the 'great power' and study the truth of the abyss.
Only the holder has the right to choose.
Li Changzhou and his group would certainly try it, but they didn't need to do it themselves.
Everyone looked at Si No. 2 and Si No. 3.
With the two combined, Si No. 3 doesn't need to be skinned, and Si No. 2 can see information in the future.
His golden eyes blinked, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, as if he were breathing.
With an expression and demeanor that suggested she was looking into the distance, Si Yi said, “It is ‘unapproachable.’ Its true form is an ice flower, and when it blooms, nothing can get close to it.”
"When will the flowers close?" Li Qianxia asked.
"There are two ways. 'Unapproachable' cannot withstand darkness and light. Use the intangible darkness and light to hit the ice flower. The ice flower will temporarily close to protect itself, and then you can make contact."
Li Changzhou asked, "How far is it?"
"You're not good enough." Number Two Si bluntly rejected him. "Your darkness hasn't lasted long enough."
...Isn't this a personal attack and defamation?
Completely devoid of worldly thoughts, Number Two Si slowly closed her eyes and said, "We can try to take the 'White Light Divine Sword'."
Since the 'White Light Divine Sword' is not in their hands, they will naturally not take action against 'Unapproachable' in the future.
Number Three, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, said, "'Please close your eyes' is something we must get our hands on."
"When should we make our move?" Si Bentai asked.
"Wait, wait, wait." Li Qianxia quickly told her to calm down. "The exploration team is united against outsiders right now. We can't suddenly turn on our own people."
“But we can’t let this stalemate continue.” Si looked at her. “‘White Light Divine Sword’ and ‘Please Close Your Eyes’ may turn into monsters or fall into the abyss during the next exploration. I suggest we take action immediately.”
Li Qianxia thought it made sense, but she really couldn't attack 'one of their own' in front of everyone. It wasn't just a matter of whether it was possible or not; it also involved whether they could win the fight.
Unable to make up her mind, she looked at Li Changzhou.
"Let's do it," Li Changzhou said.
Yang Qinglan nodded: "It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
"Delay will only lead to complications," Yaochi agreed.
Li Qianxia tried hard to suppress her liberal arts student instincts and swallowed back the words "abnormal and outrageous" that were about to come out of her mouth. Now was not the time to play word chain games.
Alas, it's a pity that this isn't just a word chain game, but also a double entendre!
"But how do we get started?" she asked.
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan simultaneously looked at the inner wall of the black box, where two monstrous cocoons were embedded, resembling tumors.
Li Qianxia hadn't personally experienced the capture of the monster with them before, and because of the cold, she had forgotten about it for a while.
Following her brother and sister-in-law's gaze, she immediately understood.
“Let’s confirm the plan,” Li Changzhou said. “I’ll control the monster and pretend it’s a monster attack.”
"I commanded the Little Iceman to assassinate 'White Light Divine Sword'," Yang Qinglan said.
“Qianxia will transform into a bird and carry me. The two of us will go and kill ‘Please Close Your Eyes.’ Changzhou, please find a way to create an opportunity for us,” Yaochi said.
As for why Yang Qinglan went to kill the 'White Light Divine Sword', it was to prevent the opponent from reacting and using the 'Great Power'. As long as Yang Qinglan's main body was in the black box, it wouldn't matter if the little ice man was killed.
There are two people, Yaochi and Li Qianxia, so "please close your eyes" can only be directed at one of them.
After confirming the plan, everyone looked at Number Two, Si, once again.
Number Two Si opened her eyes.
Golden eyes do not need light to give them color; even in the darkness, they resemble a magnificent golden flower slowly blooming.
The next moment, Number Two Si said, "'White Light Divine Sword' has turned into a monster."
In the future, she will also stay in the black box, so she will not look directly at the monster. All information will come from Yang Qinglan—she will say it once and then arrange it into text using the little ice doll.
"How come someone else has turned into a monster?" Li Qianxia asked, somewhat uneasy.
She remembered what Si had said yesterday about her turning into a monster. Could it be that she too would suddenly turn into a monster?
Yaochi also slightly furrowed her delicate and beautiful brows, looking somewhat puzzled, and asked, "When you checked the 'Unapproachable' information before, didn't the future Yang Qinglan say that the 'White Light Divine Sword' turned into a monster?"
