The husky pulled the sled, galloping all the way.
This speed was much faster than Qin Bai had skied on his own before. Although it was also the first time that Erha was running happily on the snow, it was very steady along the way and there were no accidents.
According to Qin Bai's estimation, Erha's speed is about the same as that of a standard electric scooter.
"At this rate, Erha should be able to reach Lao Gu's neighborhood before dark."
You see, Qin Bai was prepared to spend several days getting there, but the husky gave him a pleasant surprise.
As they were running, the husky suddenly drifted, almost throwing Qin Bai off.
"What's going on?"
Qin Bai quickly stood up from the sled, but unexpectedly, the husky blocked his way, baring its sharp teeth and letting out a low growl like a wild beast.
Qin Bai then noticed that there were actually two people lying on the snow not far ahead.
No, that's...
Ice Corpse!
The ice corpse was covered in snow, making it almost impossible to see from a distance.
If it weren't for Erha's quick reflexes, they might have passed right next to the frozen corpse.
Once the ice corpse pounces at you, Qin Bai will probably have a hard time dealing with it.
Qin Bai realized that Erha had done a great job this time.
"I'll find a place later and reward you with some roasted chicken legs."
Qin Bai reached out and patted the husky's head, then pulled out a large knife from his body.
When facing an ice corpse, there's no need for any nonsense; just go up and hack away.
Of course, Qin Bai wouldn't be careless; the two energy orbs were ready to be used at any time.
Qin Bai cautiously approached, but strangely, the two ice corpses were as still as if they were dead.
But if it really is a dead, frozen corpse, why would the husky react?
Qin Bai dared not be careless. When he was less than three meters away from the ice corpses, he suddenly accelerated and slashed at the head of one of the ice corpses.
Pfft!
The broadsword encountered no resistance and easily severed the head of one of the ice corpses, but the other ice corpse remained motionless.
Qin Bai remained vigilant, severing the head of the second ice corpse before crouching down to examine it.
"Strange, the heads of the two ice corpses were originally intact, why aren't they moving?"
Qin Bai was puzzled. Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from not far away.
"Hey, you killed my ice corpse and you're just going to walk away?"
Qin Bai looked up and saw a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old looking at him with a pair of arrogant eyes.
"Your frozen corpse? What do you mean?"
Qin Bai raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Of course, it means exactly what it says. I put those two ice corpses there to make them stronger, but you actually killed them. You have to compensate me for my losses!"
The boy was very arrogant, with his arms crossed and looking down at Qin Bai.
Qin Bai's mind raced, and he quickly realized what was going on.
"You control these two ice corpses? Have you awakened supernatural abilities?"
Qin Bai couldn't help but feel surprised. The little guy's ice control combined with Lin Zhao's enhanced abilities seemed quite good.
But compared to the boy in front of her, it seemed to fall a little short.
After all, this is a superpower that can directly control ice corpses. With this superpower, one can go anywhere in the world.
"Of course, I'm the protagonist of this world. If I don't awaken my superpowers, who else can?"
"But from what you're saying, you've also awakened a special ability?"
The boy asked.
"No, I've just seen it."
"Tch! You don't even have any superpowers? Who gave you the guts to lay a hand on my ice corpse? I'll give you one chance now. Give me your dog, your sled, and your weapons, and I'll let you leave."
The boy felt there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Qin Bai immediately noticed the biggest problem in his words.
Because he didn't want any food!
At this moment, everyone knows the importance of food. In other words, the boy either has enough food to make him not care about the little food Qin Bai has.
Or maybe he was just faking it!
This was the first time he had done this, and he didn't realize that food was more important than other things, which was why he wanted these things instead of food.
Inexperienced people often miss the point.
Qin Bai's gaze returned to the two frozen corpses. His attention had been drawn to the boy earlier, and he hadn't examined them carefully.
Only now did he realize that there seemed to be something wrong with these two frozen corpses.
He ignored the boy, walked to the side of the ice corpse, and used his large knife to make a cut on the ice layer on the corpse.
The ice shattered instantly, as brittle as ordinary glass.
Qin Bai's lips curled into a smile. He ripped open the ice corpse's clothes again, revealing not an arm, but...
cotton?
These two ice corpses are actually fake!
Of course, not all of it is fake. At least the parts above the neck are real. He really did find two dead people's heads from somewhere and put them here to pretend they were frozen corpses.
He even pretended that he could control the ice corpse to scam passersby.
It has to be said that this boy was very brave; Qin Bai had never seen a boy with more courage than him.
The boy's face stiffened. He had thought it was a sure thing, but it had been exposed so quickly.
He took off running.
"Go, you husky!"
At Qin Bai's command, he unlocked the husky's shackles. The husky charged forward, baring its teeth, which frightened the boy into retreating.
"What's your name, and why are you doing this?"
Qin Bai walked over and asked calmly.
He became somewhat interested in the boy; after all, there weren't many people who had such audacity and had almost actually fooled him.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the boy decided to give up entirely.
"My name is Tao Dundun. I saw someone in my neighborhood using superpowers and thought it was really cool, so I wanted to experience what it's like to be a superpowered person."
Qin Bai smiled slightly. As expected, it was just the boy's idea. He simply wanted to pretend to be a superhuman after seeing how powerful superhumans were.
He seemed to have forgotten that a superhuman cannot simply act; they must be a real person to inspire fear.
Many people know about the Empty City Stratagem, but how many can truly master it?
"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if you met a bad person?"
Qin Bai's expression instantly turned terrifying, just like the expression of a villain in a TV series.
Now, Tao Dundun finally realized the consequences of his actions.
He witnessed firsthand how people in the neighborhood were killing each other. If he hadn't liked to stock up on all sorts of snacks at home, his family probably wouldn't have survived until now.
