Qin Bai had been pondering a question: were ice corpses really created by accident?
There were also the ice wolves and charred corpses we encountered before, although those people no longer remembered the existence of the charred corpses.
Both the ice corpses and the charred corpses originated from human bodies, but the ice wolves seem to have become a different kind of creature, just like the man in front of them.
Therefore, Qin Bai strongly suspected that these things did not originally exist on Earth.
He's already experienced being reborn himself, so what else is there that he can't believe?
Ice Tree paused for a moment, then surprisingly said, "Your senses are very sharp; I am indeed not from your world."
These words stunned everyone present.
Ice Tree continued, "I used to live in a desolate place where there was nothing but snow."
"But some time ago, I suddenly came here. When those humans saw me, they attacked me frantically. I had no choice but to take action and make them all my children."
Ice Tree's words seemed to make no problem, but Qin Bai keenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Was your appearance the instant it left? Otherwise, how would you have known of its existence?"
“That’s right, it was just leaving when I arrived, but it didn’t seem interested in me and just walked away. But I know it will definitely come back, and I need your help.”
Ice Trees speak very directly, unlike humans.
"what is it?"
Qin Bai asked directly.
"In your human terms, it is an invisible entity that can easily devour a person's life force, causing that person to disappear completely, truly disappear."
Qin Bai pointed at Hu Jie and said, "But he remembers those people who disappeared. What's going on?"
Ice Tree glanced at Hu Jie and said, "This kind of disappearance only works on ordinary people. Once they awaken their own power, their memories won't be erased. As for him..."
"It can only be considered half. His power has not yet appeared, but it has already shown a rudimentary form, which is why he was able to leave a memory."
Qin Bai nodded. This was roughly what he had guessed. Hu Jie had not fully awakened and become a superhuman. Otherwise, he would also have his own superpower now.
"You want to form an alliance with us to fight it together?"
Qin Bai frowned slightly and asked a rather blunt question: "Its strength is very high? Even you are no match for it?"
If it were a person, they would probably have lost their temper on the spot, but the Ice Tree remained unchanged. It bluntly stated, "It is different from me. Even with so many children helping me, it is still very difficult to defeat it."
Although Qin Bai didn't know how strong the ice tree was, seeing its massive size was enough to tell him that it was definitely not weak.
However, the fact that such a powerful ice tree still fears the existence of that thing shows that they are still in great danger.
What is it called?
"Night Demon".
The name itself gives off a chilling feeling, as if something is watching you from the shadows at any moment.
"Since it's a collaboration, what can we do? As you can see, I'm probably the strongest among these people, but even I'm no match for you."
Qin Bai spoke frankly, saying that this was a reality.
Ice Tree smiled slightly and said, "When I was teleported here, a lot of information automatically appeared in my body, including some about you humans."
"The changes in your world are not accidental, but inevitable. I can't go into the specifics, but if humanity wants to survive, it must become stronger."
"There are two ways to get stronger. One is to accumulate experience by killing monsters such as the Ice Corpse outside. This experience will become your strength after you enter the dungeon."
"The other thing is, what you can get from the orb of light depends on your own luck."
Qin Bai naturally knew about the light orb, but as for dungeons and such...
"Dungeons? There really are dungeons?"
Qin Bai's expression was a bit strange. When he saw the black iron-grade equipment before, he felt like he was in a game. He didn't expect to hear the word "dungeon" from Bing Shu's mouth now.
"These are words formed in the simplest way that humans can understand. They are not a virtual place in essence. Everything there is real. As for the entrance to the copy, it is within me."
Looking in the direction the ice tree was pointing, there was a door at the very bottom of the ice tree.
"This is my chance, and it's your chance too. By using the dungeon, you can become stronger and then help me fight the Night Demon. If you're not strong enough, the Night Demon will kill you and me."
Qin Bai finally understood why the Ice Tree would help them; it turned out that humans were the only allies who could help the Ice Tree survive.
It can be said that without human help, the Ice Tree was destined to die at the hands of the Night Demon, and so were the humans.
But with this copy, humanity has hope in dire straits!
But Qin Bai had a question on his mind: "Why didn't you cooperate with the people in the shelter?"
"Firstly, they attacked me first, so I had no choice but to fight back."
"Secondly, the information mentions that no one here can enter the instance; only those who enter later are eligible."
Qin Bai understood; it turned out that the ice tree had no choice either.
"By the way, could you open the door to the warehouse?"
To prevent being caught by the ice corpses, Qin Bai had them discard all their weights, resulting in them having very little food left.
If they could open the warehouse door, there would be enough food inside to feed them for a long time.
"Of course, my children will help you. Don't worry, I will tell them not to lay a hand on you."
"Ice Tree said."
Then, the man snapped back to his original form.
“My mother has instructed me that I will open the warehouse door and then take care of all your affairs.”
"By the way, my name is Zhang Guangsheng."
Not long after, Qin Bai gathered everyone together and told them what had just happened.
After hearing this, everyone present was stunned. They hadn't expected that they would have to enter the so-called instance.
If they don't go in, they'll all die when the Night Demon arrives.
"If I had known the shelter was this dangerous, I would have stayed at home."
"Don't talk nonsense, you're just being wise after the event. What good is staying at home? You'll starve to death sooner or later."
"Ugh, what do we do now? If we keep waiting, we'll only die. Is going into that dungeon the only option?"
