In the endless snowstorm, the world turned white.
And at the very end where heaven and earth meet, a black line suddenly appeared.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was an army that stretched as far as the eye could see.
But strangely, this vast army, with no end in sight and an unknown number of "people," made no sound whatsoever.
They stood in the wind and snow, silently watching Shen Qian and the others.
No, that's not right... They're not looking at me, they're looking at...
Shen Qian suddenly turned his head, and behind him was the direction of Jingcheng.
An indescribable sense of despair and oppression washed over them. Shen Qian focused his mental energy on his eyes, while Yuan You took out an optical telescope. Both of them were able to see the appearance of the black army.
"What...what kind of creature is that?"
Yuan You's voice trembled.
They were a group of "people," but they had no connection with people at all. The knights at the front had a dark blue light in their eyes, and their skin was covered with strange gray scales. They held sharp blades that emitted a ghostly blue light in their hands.
The soldiers standing silently behind them all looked like resurrected corpses, devoid of any vitality.
Many of them were missing limbs, and some had their bellies cut open.
At first glance, this army numbered at least tens of thousands.
"Those ahead of me... are no weaker than me; my blade is warning me."
Dao Jiu said in a deep voice.
"The 'front' you're referring to... is it that row of knights?"
Yuan You swallowed hard and asked incredulously.
The row of knights riding on undead warhorses looked to be nearly a hundred men.
One hundred mountains and seas!
What does this mean?
Even if you were to build a towering pagoda on the face of the mountains and seas of Jingcheng, there wouldn't be more than ten.
"It's them... but that 'door' was clearly closed, where did they come from?"
A deep sense of doubt appeared in Shen Qian's eyes.
"Have you ever seen this kind of creature?" Yuan You asked, turning her head when she heard Shen Qian's whisper.
"Yes, just last month, but only one appeared at the time, and that 'door' has already been sealed by a group of powerful experts from the Mountain and Sea realms."
He nodded before sinking.
He recognized the creatures on horseback at a glance; they were exactly the same as the ones he had seen in Toothless Valley, only with slight differences in appearance.
“I remember my senior called them ‘White Walkers’.”
"The Otherworldly?" Yuan You murmured, her brows furrowing slightly. She felt like she had heard the name somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
"Before we sink, we need to hurry back to Jingcheng to warn them. If these Otherworlders are really after Jingcheng, at least for now, there seems to be no reaction from Jingcheng!"
Yuan You suddenly realized what was happening, stopped trying to recall it, and said seriously.
Shen Qian nodded slightly, but he still had one question he didn't voice.
If these aliens appeared unnoticed by the snowstorm, only tens of kilometers from Jingcheng, it's normal that ordinary mountains and seas wouldn't be able to detect them. But... what about the teacher?
Didn't the teacher notice?
Shen Qian had no concrete concept of kings and nobles, so he didn't know whether the big boss Gao knew about this matter.
He composed himself and, taking advantage of the fact that the Others on the hillside did not yet intend to attack them, pulled Yuan You and turned to leave.
But as he took that step, Shen Qian was startled, "My vital energy..."
Yuan You was puzzled at first, but after she tried circulating her vital energy herself, her expression changed.
There seemed to be some strange and inexplicable power in the surrounding wind and snow. The severe cold did not invade their bodies, but it was freezing their vital energy.
That stiff, unmotivated feeling will greatly slow them down.
In short, they are no longer much faster than the average person when walking.
Just then, Shen Qian felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw that the row of knights who had been gazing at Jingcheng had somehow turned their gazes down.
Before sinking, it was certain that they had already locked onto him.
"Dao Jiu, are you sure you can fly us back?"
He spoke very quickly.
Dao Jiu nodded slightly, and was about to take the two of them into the air when a roar that sounded like crying suddenly came from the clouds.
The three of them looked up at the same time and saw a huge black shadow piercing through the clouds and rushing straight to the ground in the snow-filled sky.
It was a giant dragon in a Western style, but its body was all bones, with only the area around its eyes still containing some flesh and blood.
And those enormous, lantern-like eyes also shone with a ghostly blue light, filled with coldness and a destructive ferocity.
Before the three could react, three more roars rang out, and along with the first one, four undead dragons suddenly appeared in the sky.
Not only that, but countless unidentified birds also flew out from the clouds.
They were also horrifying skeletons, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, with a force that seemed to blot out the sky.
Chen Qian felt a sinking feeling in his heart, an unprecedented sense of crisis spreading through him.
There was no way out, neither in heaven nor on earth, and the opponent's power was beyond our ability to defeat.
This situation... is truly hopeless.
What puzzled Shen Qian the most was why the system only reacted for a moment before going silent.
Is there any other way out?
He looked around but couldn't find any way out.
"Sinking forward..."
Yuan You seemed to know there was no way to escape. She tightened her grip on Chen Qian's hand and murmured, "I'm so unwilling... I've lived for over twenty years and I'm still a virgin!"
