Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Chapter 271: 240. Insidious Great Xia People


Arctic Icefield.

Amid the howling cold wind.

The hunting team from the Bering Kingdom received an urgent message from their homeland.

The blue-haired female leader looked puzzled, "Is there really going to be an earthquake on the icefield?"

She looked down at the snow beneath her feet, feeling a bit amused, "The icefield is just a big floe, have the Great Xia people's minds gone bad?"

Great Xia is the most powerful country in the Supernatural Domain, also home to the most powerful person on Canglan Star, the Great Xia Ghost, so she only had doubts.

If someone from another country had said this, she would have scoffed and called them "fool".

The burly man said, "I heard it was predicted by the Great Xia Spirit Crow, maybe an earthquake will really happen. After all, it's the Superpower Era now, anything strange is possible."

The so-called "Great Xia Spirit Crow" refers to Mr. Spirit Crows.

Ordinary people might not know the name of the Great Xia Spirit Crow, but most Superpower Users from different countries know how powerful the Great Xia Spirit Crow is.

The leader thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, let's slow down our pace a bit."

She had never heard of such a strange thing as an earthquake on the icefield, nor did she know how to deal with it, so she could only say "a bit slower".

The leader waved her hand again, "Go…"

She had only said a word.

She suddenly felt something, her face showing utter disbelief as she quickly said, "Be careful!"

At the same time.

"Buzz!"

The ice surface suddenly started to vibrate.

The faces of these Bering Superpower Users changed dramatically.

They all stopped in their tracks, several even squatted down on the snow to prevent losing their balance.

"Awoo~"

Several White Wolves, terrified, tucked their tails and immediately lay flat on the snow.

In the face of such a power of nature, few creatures do not feel fear.

"Crack! Crack!"

Countless muffled sounds came from beneath their feet.

This was the ice layer breaking internally due to the vibration, resulting in numerous cracks.

And large amounts of snow dust were swirling up.

The surrounding area instantly turned into a misty fog, visibility dropping to the extreme.

"Ah~"

A female's exclamation suddenly sounded from several dozen meters away.

The leader's face immediately changed, and she leaped high, crossing several dozen meters through the air, jumping over the source of the exclamation.

Honestly speaking.

As a Spiritual Ability User, reaching this level of Power is quite rare.

Even in Eastern Great Xia, few Superpower Users are like this.

Although the snow dust obscured her vision, the leader had a way.

Her blue eyes flashed slightly, and the scene before her changed instantly.

The snow dust vanished in the blink of an eye, the polar night brightened as if it were daylight.

A two-meter-wide ice crack, depth unknown, immediately entered the leader's sight.

And within the ice crack, a figure dressed in cold-weather gear was rapidly falling downward.

Clearly.

This Superpower User was quite unlucky; an ice crack appeared right beneath their feet, causing them to fall.

At this moment.

The leader let out a soft shout and swung her right hand fiercely.

The snowflakes swirling around her flew out rapidly, diving into the ice crack within an instant.

The snowflakes appeared beneath the team member's feet in the blink of an eye, forming into a block of ice and bursting with Power.

The member was boosted by the Power, quickly rising upward, escaping the ice crack, and landing steadily on the snow.

The leader still floated in the air, looking down at the intersecting cracks with a face full of shock, and murmured softly, "There really was an earthquake."

She initially didn't quite believe that an earthquake would occur on the Arctic Icefield.

But the spectacle before her eyes indeed gave her an incredibly profound lesson.

The more crucial point is that this precise prediction reveals a lot of deeper insights.

The leader's face didn't look too good, "The prediction ability of the Great Xia Spirit Crow seems much stronger than that of our Ice and Snow Witch Association."

The goal of the Ice and Snow Witch Association is to become the most powerful organization on Canglan Star in the field of supernatural prediction.

They are highly confident, believing that their organization is among the top echelons if not the strongest.

But she suddenly realized that the prediction ability of the Great Xia Spirit Crow appears to far surpass the Ice and Snow Witch Association.

At this moment.

The short Superpower User who was rescued earlier shouted gratefully, "Miss Vilita, thank you very much for your help."

The leader nodded gently, "You're welcome."

Vilita floated down slowly, saying, "Let's continue tracking that Great Xia person."

The short Superpower User responded, his body shivering slightly.

The leader glanced over, assuming he was a bit scared.

Vilita thought for a moment and added, "Watch out for ice cracks on the ground, take care not to fall in."

"Understood!"

The entire team responded in unison.

The leader took a few steps, suddenly recalling a question, "Why do the Great Xia people call it 'Ice Dragon Flipping Over' and not an earthquake?"

A top expert like the Great Xia Spirit Crow wouldn't say such a thing for no reason. There must be some cause.

Vilita couldn't figure it out, silently moving forward.

Several hundred kilometers away.

Another location on the Arctic Icefield.

Just seconds before the earthquake happened.

"Caw!"

The White Crow called out, "Attention everyone, the Snow Dragon Flipping Over is about to arrive. Jump onto Tree Spirit, Linjiang, now."

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by a few soft sounds.

The enormous body of the Tree Spirit, Linjiang, shook and placed several thick branches onto the snowy ground.

Fifty members of the advance team slid over wearing sleds and jumped onto the branches one after another.

Linjiang then lifted the branches, and the team members rose to over thirty meters in the air.

Old Lu looked around curiously.

The Tree Spirit doesn't like being stepped on, so it's his first time standing on its head.

This group of people all received news of the "Ice Dragon Flipping Over," so Old Lu was not surprised at all.

A few seconds later.

"Boom!"

Muffled thunder exploded deep within the ice, causing the surface to shake visibly.

Old Lu jumped in fright.

He carefully stared at the ice, trying to spot the so-called "Ice Dragon."

Unfortunately, snow dust filled the sky, and he couldn't see anything.

Soon.

The shaking stopped.

But the "crack crack" sounds continued to echo, and the ice layer continued to fracture.

The White Crow shouted again: "Everyone, please stay honestly on the tree; come down in ten minutes."

Old Lu curiously asked: "Mr. Bai, hasn't the earthquake stopped? Why wait so long?"

The White Crow replied: "The Ice Dragon hasn't passed yet."

Old Lu couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is the Ice Dragon?"

The White Crow flapped a wing: "You can go down and wander around; maybe you'll bump into the Ice Dragon, and then you'll know."

This was obviously a deliberate tease.

Old Lu uttered an "uh" and shook his head decisively: "Forget it."

He's not a fool; he naturally knows that encountering the Ice Dragon is definitely not a good thing, or else Mr. Bai wouldn't let everyone climb onto the Tree Spirit.

"Woo~"

The cold wind blew through.

The snow dust gradually settled.

Old Lu looked down and was shocked: "Oh my god!"

Dense cracks were spread across the vast ice layer; the longest ones disappeared into the horizon, and even the shortest extended several kilometers.

The destructive power of the Ice Dragon Flipping Over was well beyond his expectation.

Bai Liu Shiba said: "This particular Ice Dragon is quite large; it deliberately passed beneath us, trying to launch an attack, which is why there are so many cracks on the ice surface."

Old Lu became even more curious: "How does the Ice Dragon attack us?"

Bai Liu Shiba finally revealed the answer: "Curse!"

He slightly raised his tone: "The Ice Dragon is a bizarre creature spawned from the infiltration of the Cold Abyss's law.

"Its attack directly targets the soul level. Fortunately, Linjiang helped us withstand the attack, so you didn't feel anything."

Old Lu swallowed hard.

An attack targeting the soul is the hardest to defend against; one can fall victim without noticing.

He further questioned: "Mr. Bai, is there a way to counter the Ice Dragon's attack?"

The White Crow smiled: "Of course there is! As long as you have a third of Mr. Spirit Crows' strength, you can strut across the icefield."

Old Lu's mouth twitched.

A third of Mr. Spirit Crow's strength?

He feels he may not reach that in ten years.

Elsewhere.

The hunting team led by Vilita had just crossed a six- or seven-meter-wide ice crack.

The Short Superpower User took a few steps and shivered a few times, even his teeth chattered "grr grr."

The leader paused, suddenly aware something was wrong.

The team members are all superpower users, even though the Arctic icefield is indeed very cold, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

Vilita turned her head to look over and immediately noticed the anomaly.

Through the windproof helmet, she could see the Short Superpower User's face was unusually pale, and a faint frost had even appeared on his brows.

The leader slid over quickly and asked with concern: "Little Ivan, what's wrong?"

Little Ivan had trouble speaking: "I... I feel so cold."

Vilita cursed under her breath: "Damn Great Xia People!"

She instantly understood that there's definitely something odd about the Ice Dragon Flipping Over; the Great Xia People clearly knew the problem but were unwilling to make it public.

Too treacherous!

Vilita looked toward another team member and instructed: "Anatoli, use your superpower to heal Little Ivan."

A burly bearded man, Anatoli, responded gruffly: "Leave it to me!"

Five minutes later.

Little Ivan showed no signs of improvement; a thin layer of frost had even formed on his face.

Anatoli lowered his hands and shook his head solemnly: "It won't work!"

Vilita asked: "Is there a problem?"

Anatoli replied: "I vaguely sense that some eerie power within Little Ivan's soul is continuously eroding his vitality."

Vilita's face immediately changed.

Anatoli added: "Little Ivan must leave the Arctic icefield immediately; this freezing environment is extremely detrimental to him.

"If we settle him in a warm environment, it should slow the erosion, perhaps allowing Little Ivan to recover on his own."

Vilita decisively named two people: "Anatoli, Shatar, take Little Ivan back right away."

Soon.

Three team members departed.

Vilita watched her subordinates disappear and thought of another crucial piece of information: "Why did the Great Xia People announce the Snow Dragon Flipping Over?"

She had a hunch that the Great Xia People are definitely plotting some kind of scheme.

But due to the lack of enough information, she couldn't determine the Great Xia People's ultimate goal.
