Chapter 539 The Predicted Disaster
If he hadn't been familiar with Wei Zhen, Zhao Feng would have thought that he had snow madness.
"Old Wei, are you sure?"
"In the past few decades, we have never heard of an expansion of cold waves."
Zhao Feng had to confirm.
Wei Zhen pondered for a moment, and he knew very well that this matter was unbelievable.
"In order to escape pursuit before, we had to take desperate risks. Along this line of sky canyon, we reached a position less than 100 meters away from the cold wave."
"Those people in white were afraid of getting lost in the cold wave and dying together with us, so they just besieged us for many days without attacking."
"They are also very clear about our plan. By taking advantage of the special terrain of Yixiantian Canyon, as long as they retreat and we are not involved in the cold wave and lose our way, using the special terrain here, we have a high probability of walking out of the cold wave."
"During this period, they approached several times and wanted to deal with us directly. If we couldn't bear it, we went straight into the cold wave, but we didn't dare to go too far."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but frown and asked, "Have you ever been in a cold wave?"
"I've been in and out several times. Old Zhao, don't look at my majesty today. I didn't take advantage of them at all before." Wei Zhen waved his hand indifferently.
Zhao Feng had nothing to say about this.
Wei Zhen himself was only at the fourth level of cultivation, but there were three masters of the same level who besieged him just now, and there were two in ambush outside the canyon.
Based on the experience of Zhao Feng and Wei Zhen, they had long understood that the other party wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, and only after killing Wei Zhen, the only fourth-level master among the hunting officers, did they kill the others in one fell swoop.
Without Wei Zhen, with the condition of the other Hunter Officers, if they were attacked by a group of fourth-level masters, they would probably be wiped out before they could even react.
At this time, Zhao Feng also understood why the hunting officers in the snow house were in such a confused state.
Logically speaking, just staying near the cold wave for too long would not have such a big impact on the young masters. It turned out that they had been in and out of the cold wave several times.
Even on the outermost periphery, as long as one has experienced the chaotic power of the five elements in the cold wave, it is difficult not to be affected.
Zhao Feng is just glad now that they haven't gotten snow madness yet, otherwise it would be difficult for Emperor Yongyuan to explain.
"But fortunately those people in white are also very cautious and don't dare to follow us into the cold wave, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see us today."
Wei Zhen grinned with his mouth wide open, still rejoicing.
Zhao Feng had nothing to do with his friend's character, but he had to admit that without Wei Zhen's adventurous move, the northern team would have been wiped out long ago.
When he was young, Wei Zhen had such a personality. He liked taking risks and pursuing excitement. He preferred the idea that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, than being steady.
Therefore, even though Wei Zhen's cultivation talent was not bad and he was a direct descendant trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself, he was still sent to serve as a hunter officer who was more suitable for him.
After so many years, Wei Zhen's performance as a hunting officer is not bad at all, which proves that he is not a talent who can stay in the palace like Zhao Feng, but is more suitable for the vast outside the palace.
Zhao Feng shook his head, looking at Wei Zhen he couldn't help but think of many things from their youth.
"You, please tell me how you determined that the cold wave has expanded, right?"
"You also know that Xiaoyanzi has earth-type Qi. In order to resist the wind and snow, we had Xiaoyanzi build a stone house under the cold wave."
Zhao Feng looked back at the snow house. It was obvious that this was not caused by Xiao Yanzi.
"I'll take you to see it later. The original stone house is about to be submerged by the cold wave."
"If I hadn't discovered something was wrong, I would have been forced out of the canyon by the cold wave if things continued like this. I wouldn't have fought those bastards today."
Only then did Wei Zhen express his difficulties.
He found that the cold wave was slowly expanding, and if it continued, it would definitely force them out of the canyon.
Without the special terrain of the Xianxian Canyon, they would never dare to rush into the cold wave. Just one more time would be enough for them to be completely lost in it and never come out again.
By then, those people in white who were blocking them would be able to evacuate with peace of mind.
After Wei Zhen found out, he didn't dare to tell the team members. He could only lead them to move out little by little, saying that he was looking for opportunities to break out.
After those team members went into several cold waves, except for a few, their heads were not clear and they could not react very well.
Today, the men in white happened to enter the canyon to launch an offensive, and Wei Zhen simply took advantage of the opportunity to fight for his life. This was the scene where Li Xuan and Zhao Feng just arrived and saw Wei Zhen killing one person.
"Didn't you try to hide in the cold wave for a while and get rid of them directly?" Zhao Feng asked tentatively.
"Gan, Lao Zhao, do you think I'm a fool?"
"Why haven't I tried it? After three days at most, these little babies won't be able to stand it anymore."
"These people in white are also very patient. When we get into a cold wave, we never evacuate directly. We always have to maintain a posture for ten and a half days."
"It's already difficult to supply supplies in this damn place. Who knows where they got the confidence?"
Speaking of this, Wei Zhen became very angry.
The hunting officer's team was reduced to only twelve people plus a captain in order to facilitate supply in the harsh environment.
But there were obviously more people on the other side than them, but they were steadily chasing after them.
The reason why the hunting officer has not run out of ammunition and food is because he has a whole year's worth of hunting prey, plus the special storage magic weapon assigned to him by the hunting officer.
But why should the other party?
Speaking of this, Zhao Feng told Wei Zhen with some embarrassment:
"You really hit the nail on the head with this."
"On the way here, I discovered the secret sentries of those men in white, closely monitoring the surrounding area of the canyon."
"I killed a total of one thousand, two hundred and forty-three."
When Wei Zhen heard this, he was stunned.
Li Xuan also didn't expect that Zhao Feng had also counted people while killing people before. He was worthy of being the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was meticulous in his work.
"Really?" Wei Zhen's face was full of disbelief, but he was a little hesitant.
In the past, Zhao Feng must have been bragging, but now that Zhao Feng has reached the realm of enlightenment, it is not difficult to kill thousands of people while rushing to support him.
Didn't you see that the four fourth-grade masters couldn't even fight back in front of Zhao Feng?
"Get out of here quickly."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
Zhao Feng looked up at the exit of the canyon.
"Okay, I'll take you to see the stone house before, and then leave directly!"
After Wei Zhen finished speaking, he led the way. Zhao Feng also released the isolated area around him and followed Wei Zhen.
Li Xuan also spread his legs on the snow, looking like he wanted to follow.
"this……"
"Doctor Cat, it's better to stay here, it's dangerous ahead."
Although Wei Zhen heard Li Xuan's name from Zhao Feng, he still felt more comfortable calling him Doctor Cat.
Zhao Feng smiled and explained: "Don't worry, Ah Xuan will be fine."
With that said, Zhao Feng patted himself on the shoulder and asked Li Xuan to jump up.
Li Xuan was not polite and sat down on Zhao Feng's shoulder.
Wei Zhen didn't say any more and walked slowly towards the depths of the canyon.
The uncanny workmanship of nature is astonishing.
The farther inward this line of sky canyon is, the narrower the space becomes.
But it is precisely because of this that they can find their bearings in the increasingly fierce wind and snow.
Just like when we were close to the cold wave before, the closer we got, the heavier the wind and snow became, and it was almost completely white as far as the eye could see.
Wei Zhen, who was leading the way, stretched out one hand to touch the wall of the canyon while groping forward.
Snow white.
Everything in sight is white.
For those who only love this kind of sex, this place is like a paradise.
Because no matter which way you look, it's all white and snowy.
After walking so slowly for a while, Wei Zhen pointed forward, which should be where he was.
Looking in the direction, Li Xuan and Zhao Feng did not see any stone houses, only a slightly bulging snowdrift.
Zhao Feng gently pushed his palm, and the snow on the snowdrift was blown away, revealing a corner of earthy yellow, which was particularly eye-catching among the white snow.
"Go further and confirm the location of the cold wave."
Zhao Feng looked up and said firmly.
Wei Zhen had no objection and continued to lead the way.
They walked forward for several tens of meters when Wei Zhen suddenly paused and stopped moving forward.
Zhao Feng also realized something, took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Wei Zhen, and immediately felt the chaotic power of the Five Elements.
They can easily measure the distance by just counting their steps.
But this matter still needs to be confirmed with Wei Zhen.
“How much closer is the cold wave to the stone house than it was at the beginning?”
Regarding Zhao Feng's question, Wei Zhen frowned and thought for a long time before slowly answering:
"Hundred meters."
Zhao Feng's expression changed drastically, and he felt terrified.
Li Xuan also frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
"It's not necessarily expanded, right?"
"Maybe it's just a deviation?"
Zhao Feng put forward his own ideas.
"Maybe..."
Wei Zhen's tone was a little bitter.
"Old Wei, if the cold wave really expands a hundred meters, how big will it be!?"
Zhao Feng's tone was trembling, as if he was asking a question, but also seemed to be expressing emotion.
"Based on the previous territory of Beiliang, it is the size of a small country in the Western Regions."
Wei Zhen looked at the falling snowflakes around him, looking a little lonely.
If the cold wave really continues to spread, his northern team may have to change places to hunt.
"Let's go, this is not a problem we can worry about."
Wei Zhen turned around, touched the mountain wall, and headed back in the direction he came from.
Zhao Feng looked at the direction of the cold wave in despair, and finally turned around.
Even though he is now a third-level master, he is still insignificant in front of such a powerful person as Han Xia.
On the other hand, Li Xuan's expression was the most indifferent.
"Is this the disaster predicted by the Holy Fire Cult?"
Li Xuan looked at the flying snow in front of him and couldn't help but think of the prophecy of the Holy Fire Cult that Ayimu once mentioned to him.
"The golden sun will rise from the dark night in the east, shining on us in this devastating disaster, leading us to new miracles, and the holy fire that cleanses the world will burn forever."
Such is the gist of the prophecy.
Previously, Li Xuan had doubts about this prophecy, thinking that it was just a means for the Holy Fire Sect to gain faith.
But now it seems that perhaps the predictions of the Holy Fire Cult are not so magical after all.
If the cold wave continues to expand, wouldn't it be a disaster that could destroy the world?
If such a disaster really occurs, the credibility of the Holy Fire Cult's predictions will be greatly enhanced.
What makes Li Xuan even more concerned is the chaotic power of the Five Elements in the cold wave...
The moment he stepped into the cold wave, Li Xuan seemed to hear faint whines in his ears, but he subconsciously felt that the sounds came from the power of the five elements between heaven and earth.
This wonderful feeling made Li Xuan very concerned.
He seemed to feel the pain of this world in the cold wave.
Li Xuan was in a daze on Zhao Feng's shoulder, with various thoughts flashing through his mind. When he came to his senses, they had returned to the snow house.
The hunting officers were ready and headed outside the Yixiantian Canyon under the leadership of Wei Zhen.
They all met Zhao Feng one by one and were extremely grateful to this savior who fell from the sky.
Zhao Feng didn't say much, but silently followed the four fourth-level masters in white to hold the line for them.
They are not completely out of danger yet. Before reinforcements from the men in white arrive, they must return to Daxing as soon as possible to ensure their safety.
Both Zhao Feng and Wei Zhen could tell that from the posture of the men in white, there must be more than just these people.
Although the strength of the thousands of secret sentries is average, to be able to spread so many people across the snowfields in the north is definitely not an ordinary force.
As long as the connection here is confirmed to be disconnected, the men in white will definitely have reinforcements arriving.
On the way, Zhao Feng was not idle either. He woke up the four fourth-grade masters one by one, and then conducted a friendly interview.
In order not to scare the hunting officers in front, Zhao Feng thoughtfully used the breeze to isolate the sound.
Li Xuan took a close look at the art of interviewing conducted by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At the beginning, these four people were very stubborn, and ordinary methods could not control them at all. They even resorted to suicide as soon as they woke up, trying to end their own lives.
But with Zhao Feng watching, it was obvious that they were overthinking.
Next, Zhao Feng showed his unusual patience and methods.
After spending a day and a night, Zhao Feng got an answer.
"Desert White Wolf Guard."
This is the unanimous answer obtained after interrogating four people separately.
But after getting the answer, Zhao Feng did not stop his interview, and even intensified it.
Even though Zhao Feng blocked the sound, the young hunting officers would still occasionally catch a glimpse of the bloody interview scene, which made them dare not look back along the way.
Some of the hunting officers who met Zhao Feng for the first time were even frightened out of their psychological shadows.
But who would have thought that such a cold-blooded Zhao Feng would always have a cute black cat lying on his shoulder, which is the ultimate contrast.
The cute black cat also has its own contrast. It always looks at the interview with Zhao Feng seriously with its big watery eyes, looking like it is learning with an open mind.
While resting at night, several hunting officers approached Wei Zhen and asked curiously:
"Captain Wei, are all the Ministry of Internal Affairs so perverted?"
"Or is it just the steward who is like this?"
Wei Zhen grinned and asked, "What? You want to participate too?"
The hunting officers suddenly shook their heads.
They asked this question not because they were dissatisfied with Zhao Feng, but because many of their companions were already in poor condition due to the cold wave, and if they continued to threaten them like this, something would go wrong.
At this time, Wei Zhen asked again in a sinister tone:
"Who else told you that if you can't hear the sound from over there, then you definitely can't hear your voice from the other side?"
As soon as Wei Zhen finished speaking, Zhao Feng turned his head in time and smiled kindly at the hunting officers who had just spoken.
Someone won't be able to sleep tonight.
