The squad leader looked at the stone, then at his own fist, utterly dumbfounded.

It was only then that he realized that the researchers weren't just making empty promises; the mechanical combat arm truly was that powerful.

"Clap! Clap!"

The researchers applauded vigorously.

On the other side.

The villa area.

Yang Fan used a secret technique to observe Qian Rui's performance from a distance.

He smiled with satisfaction: "The regeneration superpower combined with the Life Decree is indeed very effective!"

By itself, the power of the decree wouldn't lead to such rapid fusion.

By itself, the regeneration superpower wouldn't yield such excellent fusion results.

The combination of both unleashed a staggering effect of one plus one equaling ten.

Yang Fan further commented: "In the stage of a warrior and below, human-machine fusion can greatly enhance combat power, helping Great Xia deal with various early-stage crises.

"However, at the knight stage, human-machine fusion becomes rather superfluous, after all, the potential of machines is limited, whereas the human body truly possesses limitless potential."

Thousands of kilometers away.

Arctic Icefield.

The reconnaissance team sent by Great Xia stopped working for a day and switched to camp mode.

The recently defected superpower user, Jackson, witnessed something beyond imagination.

"Caw!"

The White Crow let out a call.

The enormous Tree Spirit, Linjiang, waved thousands of roots, directly piercing beneath the ice surface.

"Buzz~"

The ground trembled gently without stopping.

After a while.

A bunch of roots surfaced again, forming a passageway.

Jackson looked a bit bewildered.

What on earth is this?

Old Lu greeted him: "Zhang Jie, the camp is ready. Get inside quickly."

The "Zhang Jie" in this sentence was the Great Xia name Jackson had chosen for himself.

After witnessing many members of the expedition team being killed by the Carmenians and himself being pursued, he made up his mind to serve Great Xia, even going so far as to change his name.

Zhang Jie responded with "Oke," and entered the passage in a daze.

The passage was a spiral structure, and after walking several meters, it suddenly opened up before him.

Zhang Jie took a glance and was directly stunned.

It was a spacious hall.

The floor, walls, and ceiling of the hall were all woven from tree roots, crafted with remarkable precision.

Warm light poured down from the ceiling, revealing the hall's interior.

The hall was furnished with plenty of sofas and tables, with electric heaters placed beside each set of sofas.

A large number of kitchen appliances were arranged in one corner of the hall, forming an open kitchen.

Five superpower users were busy in the kitchen preparing tonight's dinner.

"Clap!"

Zhang Jie felt a pat on his shoulder.

Old Lu laughed and asked, "This camp was built by Linjiang. What do you think?"

Zhang Jie thought for a moment and blurted out, "Are you guys here in the Arctic for a vacation?"

He couldn't help but recall his recent experiences.

Since the expedition team entered the Arctic Icefield, life had been overwhelmingly difficult.

Every night, they had to dig through the ice surface to create an ice cave, lay their sleeping bags inside, and curl up in them to endure the harsh conditions.

When hungry, they ate their carry-on rations, and when thirsty, they drank melted snow.

Contrasting that with the luxurious conditions of the Great Xia reconnaissance team, it was like a vacation, wasn't it?

Zhang Jie looked at the refrigerator in the kitchen and couldn't help but ask, "How could you possibly bring so much stuff here?"

Old Lu shook his head: "I don't know, it's all Mr. Linjiang's doing; he's the chief steward of the reconnaissance team."

He wasn't lying since he genuinely didn't know.

Zhang Jie was still filled with amazement: "It's truly incredible!"

In fact.

All the supplies Tree Spirit, Linjiang carried, came from the Spirit Tree Space.

The reconnaissance team was undertaking arduous tasks in the Arctic Icefield, so Yang Fan thoughtfully arranged special treatment for them.

Half an hour later.

Several tables were set up in the hall.

Each table was shared by four superpower users, with five dishes and two soups, filling the hall with an enticing aroma.

Zhang Jie found himself gulping repeatedly, his eyes nearly fixated.

Is this really the Arctic Icefield?

Old Lu smiled again: "The conditions aren't great, apologies for the poor hospitality!"

Zhang Jie's face twitched several times.

If this is called poor conditions, what about the life I had before?

Old Lu gestured: "Don't just stand there, eat quickly."

Zhang Jie took a sip of hot soup, sighing from the heart: "I think Mr. Spirit Crows is the most powerful superpower user on Canglan Star."
