Arctic Icefield.
The news conference of Carmenia Federation's Azure Palace appeared in the remote Arctic.
To ensure communication, Great Xia deployed several communication satellites.
The reconnaissance team can view programs from any region globally, so a simple news conference is certainly no problem.
"Obtained 1182 pieces of icefish from the icefield..."
"There are 915 pieces of icefish here... It is the place with the most icefish in the world."
The voice of the Carmenia spokesperson came from the TV.
Zhang Jie looked at the screen full of swimming icefish and was immediately shocked: "So many?!"
Old Lu sneered, his expression slightly disdainful.
The spokesperson continued, "I can clearly tell you... Eastern Great Xia absolutely cannot harvest so many icefish."
Zhang Jie said nothing.
Because he felt that the Carmenians were right.
Old Lu spat, "Shameless!"
Zhang Jie sensed something was wrong, curiously asking, "How many icefish did the Great Xia reconnaissance team obtain?"
Old Lu hesitated a bit, then said, "It's over 12,000, most of the icefish born here in the Arctic Icefield have been excavated by us."
This white man had the guts to reveal the true face of the Carmenians in the video, essentially submitting his allegiance, so he chose to speak the truth.
Zhang Jie couldn't believe his ears: "Really?"
Just fifty superpower users obtained over 12,000 icefish, he honestly found it hard to believe.
Old Lu directly took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it over: "Take a look."
The video was only thirty seconds long, showing the scene where Tree Spirit, Linjiang was harvesting icefish.
Only to see tens of thousands of tree roots spread out, reaching into nearby ice cracks, and soon pulling back.
A portion of the roots gathered in front of the phone's camera, placing the excavated icefish together, quickly forming a small mountain.
Zhang Jie's eyes were glued to the screen.
At a glance, he saw that there were at least three hundred icefish in the pile.
Old Lu said, "This was the time when the reconnaissance team harvested the most icefish, a total of 342, we specially recorded a video as a souvenir."
He paused and continued, "The Carmenians dispatched 1500 superpower users, only to collect less than 1200 icefish, yet they have the audacity to hold a news conference."
Zhang Jie was thoroughly convinced.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Great Xia announce this number?"
Old Lu replied casually, "Great Xia has a saying, 'silently make a fortune,' and besides, Great Xia is the strongest nation in the Supernatural Domain on Canglan Star. Does it need to prove itself as the Carmenians do?"
Zhang Jie nodded, "Makes sense."
He had always known that the Xia People were strong, but after truly interacting with them, he realized Great Xia was even more formidable than rumors suggested.
On the TV screen.
The conference was still ongoing.
"... Someone has seen the video released by Great Xia... This is an extremely shameful slander!"
Zhang Jie frowned and cursed, "Damn it!"
As a typical white man, he used to say "fxxk," but after joining Great Xia and changing his name to Zhang Jie, he quickly learned the national curse of the Xia People.
Due to his intense emotions, a faint layer of black fuzz appeared on his face.
"Caw!"
The White Crow suddenly called out.
Since Tree Spirit, Linjiang set up the camp, this was the first time Bai Liu Shiba made a sound.
The White Crow flapped its wings and flew over, saying, "Your superpower is very interesting."
Zhang Jie was taken aback, the black hairs on his face quickly faded.
He thought for a moment and honestly said, "Mr. Bai, my superpower is called Beast Shape, it's easily influenced by emotions."
The White Crow examined him a few times and said, "You often dream of wolves, right?"
Zhang Jie was greatly amazed, "How do you know?"
Bai Liu Shiba didn't answer, instead spoke to himself, "If possible, it's best for you to live with a pack of wolves for a while."
After saying this, he flapped his wings and swiftly flew away.
Zhang Jie was momentarily dumbfounded.
Let me live with a wolf pack, are you joking with me?
Old Lu quietly reminded, "Xiaozhang, Mr. Spirit Crows is advising you on how to improve your superpower."
Zhang Jie was even more bewildered, "What?"
Living with wolves to enhance his superpower sounded a bit mind-blowing to him.
Zhang Jie turned to look at other Xia People and saw they all looked enviously, which made him truly believe the notion.
Old Lu chuckled, "You're quite lucky, anyone who receives guidance from Mr. Spirit Crows will see their superpower level significantly improve."
Another superpower user chimed in, "As long as you don't die, becoming a warrior in the future is guaranteed."
Zhang Jie felt his breath quicken a little.
He turned to the White Crow and sincerely said, "Mr. Bai, thank you very much for Mr. Spirit Crows' guidance."
Bai Liu Shiba remained motionless, showing no intention of responding to him.
Old Lu suggested, "When the reconnaissance team returns to Great Xia, you can train at the Western Border of Great Xia, where many Northwest Wolves reside."
Zhang Jie asked, "When will the reconnaissance team return?"
Old Lu replied, "The reconnaissance team has completed the icefish harvesting mission, we plan to rest here for two days before returning to Great Xia. Afterwards, Jiuzhou Legion will arrange for you to go to the Western Border of Great Xia."
Zhang Jie seemed puzzled, "Rest?"
Having completed the mission, why not return directly to Great Xia? The icefield's environment is harsh and hardly seems a suitable place for rest.
Old Lu revealed a somewhat mysterious smile, "You will understand in two days."
Zhang Jie looked confused.
He suddenly recalled what Old Lu had just said and realized: "In two days, some kind of disaster will occur on the Arctic Icefield, right?"
Old Lu had mentioned earlier, "The Arctic Icefield might experience some changes, it's advised that superpower users from various countries leave the Arctic."
At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now he suddenly realized, the Great Xia people are playing a grand game.
Zhang Jie's mind raced, becoming more fearful as he thought about it: "In a video from the Great Xia people, they vaguely warned the entire world.
"Worldwide, people aren't taking it seriously, probably not many superpower users will obediently evacuate the Arctic.
"The disaster that will erupt in two days, the level of devastation will likely be unimaginable, and probably not many will survive.
"The 1500 superpower users sent by the Carmenia Federation, along with nearly 2000 from the Southern Cross Alliance, will all face utter destruction.
"Meanwhile, the Great Xia Reconnaissance Team is already prepared, with Tree Spirit, Linjiang, and White Crow stationed, undoubtedly surviving this natural disaster.
"After the disaster, nations around the world will suffer heavy losses, and no one can blame Great Xia.
"Because the Great Xia people issued a warning in advance, advising superpower users to leave quickly, but other countries didn't listen."
Zhang Jie glanced at White Crow and broke into a cold sweat.
"The Great Xia people proactively announced to the world, that an earthquake occurred on the Arctic Icefield.
"The Great Xia people also informed global nations, that the icefield birthed a large amount of Cold Abyss Ice Fish, attracting superpower users worldwide.
"Why do I feel that the Great Xia people predicted everything in advance and used this to set a trap, greatly weakening the power of various countries?"
He only dared to think this to himself, not daring to voice it.
Yet Zhang Jie felt a very strong sense of certainty—this is the truth!
Previously, he thought the Great Xia people were all kind-hearted and helpful, but now he believes the Great Xia people have a darker side.
"Quack!"
White Crow opened its eyes and cawed.
Zhang Jie's body shook, and he felt inexplicably that Spirit Crow knew what he was thinking.
He blurted out: "I don't know anything!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt an urge to smack himself hard.
Too foolish!
White Crow glanced over, its tone carrying a hint of amusement: "It doesn't matter if you know, because you are a Great Xia person, you will witness the 'Ice Storm' plan firsthand."
Zhang Jie came to his senses, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I have joined Great Xia, I will forever be loyal to Great Xia."
He was scared witless by the methods of the Great Xia people.
The superpower users gathered on the Arctic Icefield are estimated around fifteen to twenty thousand.
No!
Maybe even more!
The Carmenians held a news conference, showcasing so many ice fish.
Nations around the world were stimulated, and certainly will send more superpower users into this death trap.
The Great Xia people didn't hesitate to wipe out so many superpower users, isn't that too ruthless?
Zhang Jie sincerely felt that following the Great Xia people was the only path to survival, and opposing them would certainly lead to a tragic end.
The Carmenians must have some big issues to keep on clashing with the terrifying Great Xia people.
He couldn't help but ask: "Was the Ice Storm plan devised by Mr. Spirit Crows?"
White Crow didn't answer and closed its eyes.
Old Lu chuckled: "Xiaozhang, why know so much? Just enjoy the show."
Zhang Jie obediently shut his mouth.
After a while.
"Buzz!"
The hall suddenly vibrated slightly.
The wall on the right side suddenly disassembled itself, revealing a long passage.
It could be seen that there seemed to be doors on either side of the passage.
Zhang Jie was puzzled.
Old Lu said: "Those are bedrooms, each person gets one, everything's set up with beds, tables, chairs, and lights.
"If you're tired, you can go rest, just find yours according to the name on the door."
Zhang Jie clicked his tongue, really unsure what to say.
The Great Xia people even arranged single rooms, really know how to play.
He thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll go rest for a bit."
Zhang Jie walked along the passage for dozens of meters, arriving at a door at the end that bore his name.
One was the Chinese name - Zhang Jie.
The other was the foreign name - Jackson.
Very thoughtful.
"Click!"
There was a soft sound.
The door opened automatically.
Zhang Jie paused, then softly said: "Thank you!"
He stepped inside, seeing a room about eight square meters.
The room had a single bed, a small table next to it, plus a small sofa.
The room wasn't large, and the furnishings were quite simple.
Yet in a place like the Arctic Icefield, this room was definitely a luxury.
Even if priced at 100,000 Xia Yuan a night, plenty of superpower users would be willing to stay here.
Zhang Jie quickly took off his clothes and slipped into a warm sleeping bag, sighing with satisfaction.
The Great Xia people are terrifying, but being with them doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
He stared at the ceiling, suddenly feeling that this Arctic Icefield journey was truly a whimsical adventure of a lifetime.
