In the vast icefield.

A team of superpower users glided forward on sleds, braving the cold wind.

Their destination was a large ice fissure fifty kilometers away.

Due to the influx of many superpower users, the cracks in the outer area of the icefield have been thoroughly searched several times, making it almost impossible to find Cold Abyss Ice Fish.

Thus, more and more teams began to venture deeper into the icefield.

Although the depths of the icefield are more dangerous, with more bizarre things, the lure of wealth prompted them to make this choice.

"I heard that a guy from Willand successfully awakened an ice superpower using Ice Fish, and his spiritual power reached 13 points upon awakening, far exceeding the average of 10 points."

"There are over 12 billion people worldwide, at least millions with ice superpower potential, yet Ice Fish yield is limited. I believe the price of Ice Fish will continue to rise."

"Carmenians reportedly plan to use Ice Fish to cultivate ice ability users and build an Ice and Snow Legion; most countries will likely devise similar plans, and Ice Fish prices may rise higher than we anticipate."

"Yesterday, Carmenians publicly displayed so many Ice Fish; nations will likely deploy more superpower users to the icefield, intensifying competition."

"Guys, we need to speed up; otherwise, we won't even get to drink the soup, let alone eat the meat!"

The superpower users chatted via the communication channel as they traveled.

At that moment.

"Caw!"

A crow's caw descended from the sky.

Everyone instinctively looked up to see a small black dot swiftly pass by.

"Could it be a Spirit Crow?!"

"Apart from the crows raised by the Great Xia Spirit Crow, what other crows can survive in the Arctic."

"I've heard of Spirit Crows appearing in the Arctic; it turns out to be true."

A few seconds passed.

A voice simultaneously sounded in everyone's ear: "If you continue thirty kilometers forward, you'll collide with a team of Carmenia's superpower users."

The team's leader jerked with shock, instinctively halting his steps.

The others didn't look too pleased either.

These people had all watched the video released by the Eastern Great Xia, and they believed Carmenians could commit the atrocity of ambushing other superpower users.

One superpower user asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

The captain decisively declared, "Carmenians are a bunch of bandits; let's retreat fifty kilometers and bypass the area where Carmenians are located."

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The team quickly turned 180 degrees and retraced their path.

Another superpower user glanced back and whispered, "I think the Great Xia People are good people!"

Many nodded in agreement.

"Woo~"

The cold wind swept through.

Flakes of snow fell.

The sleds' tracks were quickly covered,

A few kilometers away.

The Spirit Crow soared against the fierce wind, its eyes suddenly flickering.

It vaguely saw strands of peculiar white mist descend from the exceedingly high heavens, converging at a distant location.

That place was precisely the center of the Arctic Icefield.

"Caw!"

The Spirit Crow cawed, with fear flickering in its eyes.

It sensed an extremely terrifying power brewing at the icefield's center.

It was one hundred percent sure that once this power burst forth, few superpower users stranded in the Arctic Icefield would survive.

The Spirit Crow circled half a turn out of nowhere, riding the wind towards another direction.

It glanced down at the superpower user team it had encountered earlier, without any intention of warning them.

*

Hundreds of kilometers away.

The leader of the Bering Kingdom's superpower user team, Vilita, was communicating with home via satellite.

"What? The Kingdom decided to dispatch 600 superpower users to search for Ice Fish in the Arctic Icefield?"

Vilita fiercely opposed: "Mr. Tovski, this is an extremely foolish idea.

"I must reiterate to you that this is a meticulously planned conspiracy by the Great Xia People.

"I believe the Great Xia People deliberately made Cold Abyss Ice Fish information public to attract superpower users from around the world.

"Sending so many elite superpower users from the Kingdom into the icefield will only turn them into ice sculptures on the icefield.

"If this occurs, the Kingdom will suffer a significant blow in the supernatural domain."

The kingdom official Tovski remained unmoved: "Miss Vilita, I think you worry too much."

Vilita immediately proposed a reason: "Great Xia People have already issued a warning, stating that changes will occur in the Arctic Icefield and advised all countries to withdraw."

Tovski promptly pointed out a fallacy: "You forgot the keyword 'possible.' Great Xia's statement was 'The Arctic Icefield may change,' which indicates Eastern Great Xia is not certain."

Vilita was momentarily speechless.

Tovski continued questioning: "Miss Vilita, earlier you claimed this was a Great Xia conspiracy, now you say Great Xia has issued a warning to the world.

"Don't you find this contradictory? If Great Xia is plotting a conspiracy, why would they alert the world?"

Vilita was stumped by the question.

Tovski's retort wasn't over: "Moreover, according to our satellite images, the vanguard of the Great Xia People is still on the Arctic Icefield; if they sensed a crisis, they would surely withdraw first."

Vilita opened her mouth, clueless on how to refute.

Tovski paused, then added: "The Carmenia Federation demonstrated with facts to the world that the more superpower users a nation sends, the more Cold Abyss Ice Fish they acquire.
