Since the Supreme Elder of the Seven Basaltic Mansions sent Du Feng here, there must be something important to do, and the difficulty was not ordinary. If it was a normal mission, there was no need to send him here, and there was no need to waste effort to get the pass.
The architecture of the northernmost continent was very interesting. They did not have high walls. They just had a circle of short ice walls with many spears on them. Although this spear was not as advanced as the Ice Soul Cannon, its lethality was not small. The main drawback was that it could not be fired continuously because the so-called spear was something similar to an iron anchor. The front was sharpened and there was a hook on the side, which could cause a big wound if it was plunged into the body of the sea beast.
Interesting. Du Feng thought that he needed to show the pass again to enter the range of the ice wall. It seemed that things were not as complicated as he thought. As long as he was qualified to go ashore, it meant that his identity was already legal, and there was no need to show the pass again. He slipped into the ice wall without a hitch.
A characteristic of the northernmost continent was that it snowed all year round. In a world of ice and snow, the wind was like a tiger, and those who weep have no shelter. This sentence should be referring to the poor residents of the northernmost continent. They were so poor that they did not even have warm clothes. They just huddled in the corner and squatted together to keep warm.
This … Seeing this scene, Du Feng could not bear to see this, but he did not dare to intervene. After all, this was the territory of the Queen of the Extreme North. Their king did not care, so it was not appropriate for an outsider to intervene. If there was any trouble because of this, it would delay the mission given by the Seven Basaltic Mansions.
It was too pitiful, really too pitiful. One must know that the northernmost continent was extremely cold. Even the martial artists with Cultivation would feel chilly. Even if they wore clothes, they needed to circulate their power to resist the cold. As for the martial artists with low Cultivation, they needed to wear thick clothes to resist the cold.
The residents of the northernmost continent were colder than the average martial artist. However, they could not stand it for a long time without clothes. The female refugees were wrapped in a few pieces of rags to cover her important parts. The male martial artist was bare-chested, with something similar to fish skin around his waist.
This was too miserable. Even if they couldn't afford to buy clothes, couldn't they get some demonic beast skin to wear? Du Feng pondered for a moment. Things might not be that simple. This was because the northernmost continent was surrounded by the Ice Ocean, and the level of the demon beasts in the Ice Ocean was not low.
Ordinary martial artists would lose their lives if they fell in, let alone these refugees with low Cultivation. There were no low-level fish nearby for them to catch. Even if they wanted to work, they couldn't find a job. Frankly, it was a miracle that they hadn't starved to death.
"Quick, there are bugs!"
As Du Feng walked, he observed the refugees squatting at the corner of the wall. He did not know why these people suddenly became excited. He focused his eyes and looked carefully. There were actually some light blue worms swimming in the ice beneath his feet, just like tadpoles swimming in water.
One must know that the layer of ice beneath their feet was the foundation of the northernmost continent. It was so hard that it wouldn't even melt if a building was built on it. However, those strange little bugs swam in it without any resistance. It was as if they were swimming in water.
"Pu pu pu …"
One by one, the little bugs popped out from the corner of the ice wall. The refugees pounced on them with all their might. They used their hands, their mouths, their clothes to wrap them, and even their messy long hair to tie them up. In short, they tried their best to catch as many little bugs as possible. These blue little bugs were their food.
Uh … Seeing what the refugees were doing, Du Feng's stomach churned, and he almost vomited. He knew that the refugees had nothing to eat, which was why they were snatching those disgusting bugs. He did not have the right to laugh at others, so he could only choose to turn his head away.
If it was in the past, Du Feng might think of a way to secretly give some food to the refugees. For example, when he was living in the Tang Temple City in the northern continent, he used to give rain and food to the desolate people outside. But now that he had matured a lot, he knew that he could not change the fate of these refugees with his own ability.
The number of refugees in the northernmost continent was very large. They were lined up along the city wall, and the end could not be seen. This was not something that could be avoided for a city or a tribe, but for an entire continent. The number of refugees was more than the population of a fifth-class country. Even if Du Feng wanted to take care of it, he really could not.
"Give it to me, it's mine."
"It's mine, don't fight with me."
Although the number of blue little bugs was not small, the number of refugees was more. Du Feng basically understood that the reason why there were so many refugees in the northernmost continent was to let them eat bugs. If these people had a proper meal to eat, they would definitely not eat that kind of bug. Only when they were extremely hungry, they would snatch that kind of bug to eat.
Although this kind of bug had no fighting power, it was the biggest enemy of the northernmost continent. Because they had a special ability, which was to destroy the ice. Destroying the ice was equivalent to destroying the foundation of the northernmost continent. It should be known that the whole continent was basically made of ice. There was only a little bit of land in the middle. And the ice city where the northernmost queen was located was built on a fixed piece of land.
The surrounding thick ice was all fixed by that piece of land, so that it would not drift around in the sea. If there was no thick ice, the territory of the northernmost land would be reduced by 90%. So, it became a very important thing to get rid of those blue little bugs.
In order to get rid of these little bugs, the northernmost queen also sent a large number of officers and soldiers to be responsible for clearing them. But those bugs emerged from all directions, and they were not concentrated at any time. Sometimes they appeared in the morning, sometimes they appeared at noon, and sometimes they waited until everyone fell asleep in the middle of the night before they went out.
The number of officers and soldiers was limited, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with those damn bugs. They couldn't hold on for a long time. Later, a high-ranking official around the northernmost queen proposed a very cruel method. So, in the northernmost continent, there were these refugees who couldn't afford clothes and food.
You don't say, since there were these refugees. As long as there were blue bugs crossing the ice wall, they would all be eaten by them. There was no need to waste a soldier to deal with the biggest crisis in the northernmost land. The queen's rule would naturally not be threatened.
