Ten minutes later.

"Caw!"

The white crow called out and said, "Everyone, we have a task now."

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Bai Liu Shiba said, "The master said that within the ice crevices created by the ice dragon's passage, some good things might emerge.

"They look like a flow of liquid, sealed within ice blocks. Our task is to dig out those ice blocks."

Old Lu listened thoughtfully.

Great Xia released the news of the ice dragon flipping over; now there are good things born in the crevices.

What exactly is Mr. Spirit Crows planning to do?

Old Lu once again smelled the scent of conspiracy and intrigue: "It's like fishing, no, it should be casting a net."

This "net" seems aimed at fish all over the world.

Not long after.

The vanguard made their first discovery.

A Physical Superpower User, named Zhou Tao, crawled along the ice crevice like a spider and suddenly noticed something different.

He saw, within the ice layer a few meters deep, something flowing faintly.

Zhou Tao looked carefully for a few moments and shouted excitedly, "I've found it!"

Soon.

This ice block was dug out.

The white crow flew over and pecked at the ice block with its beak.

"Bang!"

The ice block cracked.

A strange scene appeared.

The liquid quickly flowed out and transformed into a fish the size of a palm.

It floated in mid-air, wagging its head and tail a few times, then solidified into a fish-shaped ice sculpture.

"Pop!"

The ice fish fell onto the snow.

This fish's head looked like a triangular cone, with fins on its belly sides like sharp blades, clearly a fierce character.

Zhou Tao instinctively reached out a hand, wanting to pick up the ice fish.

At that moment.

The ice fish jumped up bizarrely, opening its mouth and fiercely biting towards his hand.

Zhou Tao had no defense against this, and caught off guard, he didn't have time to dodge or use power, just could watch the ice fish bite down.

Just then.

The white crow swiftly pecked, its beak precisely hitting the ice fish's back.

"Bang!"

A light sound.

The ice fish fell back down.

Zhou Tao withdrew his right hand like it was electrified, his face filled with fear.

Bai Liu Shiba warned, "Anything related to the Primordial World, if you don't understand it, it's best not to act rashly."

The other superpower users were all deep in thought.

This scene indeed taught everyone a lesson.

Zhou Tao swallowed and repeatedly nodded, "I understand now, I thought it was an ice sculpture, didn't expect it was a live fish."

Bai Liu Shiba shook his head, "It is an ice sculpture."

Zhou Tao exclaimed "Ah", completely puzzled.

The white crow explained, "Ice is just a carrier; its essence is a strand of power from the Cold Abyss infiltrating Canglan Star."

Everyone felt like their eyes had been opened.

Old Lu changed the topic, "Mr. Bai, what kind of fish is this? It doesn't look like a fish from Canglan Star."

Bai Liu Shiba replied, "It is indeed not a Canglan Star fish; the appearance resembles the ice blade fish from the Cold Abyss.

"Though the Cold Abyss is an incredibly cold sea region, numerous creatures live inside it, with ice blade fish being one of the most abundant fish species there.

"If someday you have the chance to enter the Cold Abyss, you will see super-giant fish groups numbering in billions."

This phrase "billions of fish groups" made the superpower users full of visions.

It's a scene never seen in Canglan Star.

The white crow turned its words, "However, you are currently very weak, very weak indeed. At least possessing the strength of a Middle Rank Warrior is needed for basic survival power in the Cold Abyss, or even a slight disturbance could endanger your life."

The group of superpower users found themselves speechless.

Old Lu asked again, "Mr. Bai, what exactly is the function of this ice fish?"

Bai Liu Shiba concisely said, "Its uses are many."

He immediately gave two examples: "For instance, ice fish can help Ice Ability Users refine their powers.

"Also, for those with certain ice element superpower potential, sensing the power within the ice fish might provide them with a chance to awaken new abilities."

Everyone's eyes brightened upon hearing this.

Just these two functions alone are enough to elevate ice fish into the ranks of valuable supernatural items.

The above scenes were clearly recorded by a specially-made camera.

The white crow glanced at the camera and called out, "Alright!"

The recording immediately stopped.

Bai Liu Shiba laughed, "Everyone performed very well!"

He particularly praised Zhou Tao, "Captain Zhou could make a career in movies."

Zhou Tao showed a naive smile.

However, judging from this guy's superb acting just now, he obviously isn't an honest person.

The White Crow checked the video again and nodded in satisfaction: "Send it domestically."

"Yes!"

Old Lu felt a bit regretful: "It's such a pity that something as good as the Ice Fish is taken away by other countries."

Bai Liu Shiba rolled his eyes at him: "The Ice Dragon will exist permanently on the Arctic Icefield. Every year, Canglan Star will spawn a large number of Ice Fish.

"Other countries will eventually discover the Ice Fish. With Great Xia's current strength, it's impossible to monopolize all the Ice Fish on the Arctic Icefield."

Old Lu chuckled: "I seem to be too greedy."

The White Crow flapped its wings: "Alright, let's all get to work."

The Superpower Users dispersed like birds and beasts.

A larger Ice Dragon that had just passed by is likely to spawn a batch of Ice Fish.

Since the advance team encountered it, naturally there was no reason to miss it.

On the other side.

The Bering Kingdom's Superpower Users, after trekking through the ice and snow for an hour, received an urgent communication from home again.

A high-ranking Bering official personally came forward to relay an important message to the team.

"The Great Xia people announced to the world that many Cold Abyss Ice Fish have been born on the Arctic Icefield?"

Vilita was a bit shocked.

"Yes! The whole world is in an uproar. The Great Xia people also released a video, confirming that the Cold Abyss Ice Fish is indeed a very magical thing.

"For the Bering Kingdom, it's also a strategic asset. With enough Ice Fish, the kingdom can train more Ice Ability Users."

Vilita, however, frowned deeply: "Mr. Tovski, do you plan to send more personnel into the Arctic Icefield to search for the Cold Abyss Ice Fish?"

Tovski replied: "The Arctic Icefield is right at the kingdom's doorstep. The Cold Abyss Ice Fish is a gift bestowed to the Bering People.

"Miss Vilita, I hope that you and your team can temporarily halt your mission and first collect the Cold Abyss Ice Fish.

"Just now, a massive Ice Dragon Flipping Over occurred on the Arctic Icefield. We speculate that a large batch of Cold Abyss Ice Fish should have been born. We absolutely must not miss this opportunity."

Vilita resolutely opposed: "I strongly suspect this is a conspiracy by the Great Xia people. Their public announcement of the video absolutely harbors ulterior motives.

"Previously, the Great Xia announced the Ice Dragon Flipping Over, and we encountered an earthquake in the Arctic.

"One of my Superpower Users fell into an ice crevice, seemingly subjected to some kind of Soul Attack, potentially life-threatening.

"I'm certain the Great Xia people must have concealed some critical information earlier, and this time with the Cold Abyss Ice Fish, it's probably no exception.

"So I solemnly suggest that the kingdom immediately halt the operation and absolutely do not send Superpower User teams to the Arctic Icefield."

She paused for a moment and then said: "Additionally, I hope to terminate the pursuit operation and withdraw everyone from the Arctic Icefield."

Tovski earnestly persuaded: "Miss Vilita, your suspicions are quite reasonable.

"It's indeed possible the Great Xia people concealed some key information, but I don't think their intentions are entirely malicious.

"The Great Xia side explicitly stated that the information they have is limited, so some omissions are inevitable.

"Moreover, the Great Xia also dispatched a group to collect the Cold Abyss Ice Fish. They wouldn't harm their own people, would they?"

Vilita was momentarily stumped by the question.

It was indeed a compelling reason, and she truly couldn't think of a counter-argument.

Tovski continued: "The Great Xia people are desperately collecting Ice Fish. We cannot fall behind Great Xia."

Vilita reluctantly conceded: "Alright, I will lead a team to first collect a batch of Ice Fish."

She immediately added: "But I don't have time to collect too many Ice Fish. I must complete the task assigned by the Chief Witch, which is more important for the kingdom."

Tovski was silent for a moment and replied: "Of course!"

Subsequently.

The communication was cut off.

Vilita gazed silently at the vast expanse of snowfield and sighed without a sound.

She knew very well that the kingdom had always had reservations about the so-called prophecy, as the prophecy was too intangible.

What exactly was the treasure expected to appear in the Arctic Region?

The Ice and Snow Witch Association couldn't answer.

Yet, the Great Xia people truly found something good and presented it to the whole world.

Naturally, the kingdom would lean towards the latter.

*

On the other side of Canglan Star.

The Carmenia Federation.

Mount of Gods.

A group of Controllers, led by Jeremy, was watching the video released by Great Xia.

The scene of an ice block being broken open, liquid flowing out to form a fish, and the Great Xia Superpower User almost getting bitten, was replayed several times.

Just from this footage alone, without any need for explanation from the Great Xia people, it was enough to convince people that the Ice Fish was definitely something valuable.

Jeremy glanced around and asked: "I think we should send Superpower Users to the Arctic to search for Ice Fish. What do you all think?"

Voices of agreement immediately arose.

"I agree!"

"I have no objections!"

"The Federation cannot fall behind the Great Xia people."

Although some had reservations, they couldn't present compelling reasons for opposition.

Jeremy thought for a moment and said: "The Arctic is about to become a gold rush land, with various countries entering.

"For the Federation to win in this competition, we must have enough Superpower Users. I propose sending 1,000 Superpower Users, how about it?"

The others also had no objections.

This is because Mount of Gods is essentially the sphere of influence of the Eight Great Influential Clans—the more Ice Fish the Federation acquires, the greater the benefits for each clan.

Jeremy nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's start the operation as soon as possible."
