The night was silent, but there were a lot of people who couldn't sleep. This included Zhao Hai and Gong Ben Lei. Zhao Hai couldn't sleep because he was puzzled. He didn't understand why the Gong Hun Country would have such a strong destructive force. The destructive force here wasn't any worse than the Desolation Desert. This was simply unimaginable. Even if this destructive force was buried deep underground, the outside world would still be able to sense it. It wouldn't be like this, where it suddenly appeared. This matter was too strange.
On the other hand, Gong Ben Lei was thinking about Zhao Hai's words. He didn't think that the thing that would save them would be the city walls that the Gong Hun Country was proud of. He also didn't think that the destructive force outside the city walls would be this strong. Even if he wasn't as sensitive as Zhao Hai, he could still feel the surging destructive force. This made him very surprised.
The next morning, Gong Ben Lei immediately sent two people back to Shooting Sun City to inform Gong Ruo Lei about the situation here. At the same time, he also told the people in the city to quickly send people over and establish a transit station here.
After sending the two people away, Gong Ben Lei and Zhao Hai directly left the city walls and entered the land that was being ravaged by the destructive force. This time, they didn't ride the camel beasts. This was because they knew that the camel beasts wouldn't be able to survive for a long time in the environment outside the city.
After the group left the city, they immediately headed north. As Zhao Hai walked, he asked Gong Ben Lei, "Mister Ben Lei, what's behind us?"
Gong Ben Lei replied, "It's the prairie. Then to the north is the Icefield. The distance between here and the Icefield is very short, only about a thousand li. After that, we'll enter the Icefield. You should know that it's a forbidden zone for life. It's too cold, so no one from the Ice Hun Country has been there."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I think that this destructive force couldn't have come from the prairie. It's very likely that it came from the Ice Field. It seems like we'll have to go to the Ice Field this time."
When Gong Ben Lei heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, will the Icefield affect you?"
When Zhao Hai heard Gong Ben Lei, he couldn't help but stare. He understood what Gong Ben Lei meant. When Plant Masters fight, they would be greatly affected by the environment. Therefore, Gong Ben Lei asked this question.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's fine. Although there will be some impact, it won't be too big. I had a fortuitous encounter in the Desert of Destruction and learned a fist technique. It's quite powerful. Even if I don't use plant soldiers, I'll still be able to fight."
Gong Ben Lei nodded and said, "That's good. But if we go forward, the environment will become worse. What do you think, Mister?"
Zhao Hai said, "I'll take care of the food. What we need to do now is to go to the depths of the Ice Field. Let's go."
Gong Ben Lei turned his head to Zhao Hai and gave him a salute, "Thank you Mister for your righteousness."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "There's no need to thank me. This isn't for Shooting Sun City, nor is it for the Gong Hun Country. It's for the entire Human Race, the entire Soul Realm. Your city wall has the blessing of faith power, but sooner or later, the power of faith will run out. Unless the people of the Gong Hun Country can still bless it with faith power. Otherwise, in less than two months, the city wall will collapse. Once the city wall collapses, the Gong Hun Country won't be the only one affected."
Gong Ben Lei said solemnly, "So that's how it is. It seems like we need to inform the people in our country about this situation, so that everyone can still be proud of the city wall. Only then will the city wall be able to hold on for a longer period of time."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's also a way. It's best if we can do it."
Gong Ben Lei didn't say anything else. He just followed Zhao Hai and walked forward. After a while, Zhao Hai had already activated his Natural Energy and ran forward quickly. Gong Ben Lei and the others quickly followed behind. They didn't say anything because they wanted to save some energy for the journey.
A distance of over a thousand li was really nothing to them. They were all Consolidated Equipment Stage experts, and their speed was very fast. In about five hours, they had already crossed a thousand li of grassland and entered the ice plains.
As soon as they reached the edge of the ice plains, Zhao Hai stopped. He looked at the ice plains and said, "I didn't guess wrongly. The source of the Destructive Energy is indeed in the ice plains. It seems like we have to go deeper into the ice plains. Mister Ben Lei, I think it's best for us to go back first and make some preparations before going deeper into the ice plains. Otherwise, with our current situation, even if we go deeper into the ice plains, I'm afraid we won't be able to go far."
Gong Ben Lei looked at the ice plains, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. In truth, the people of the Gong Hun Country had a natural fear of the ice plains. They were truly afraid of the ice plains, after all, the ice plains could devour their lives.
From the founding of the Gong Hun Country till now, there were records of more than a hundred explorations of the ice plains. Amongst them, there were more than seventy Consolidated Equipment Stage experts who had explored the ice plains. Of these seventy explorations, without exception, all of them had failed. The scariest thing was that in these seventy explorations, the number of Consolidated Equipment Stage experts who had died in the ice plains was as high as fifty six. Only fourteen of them had returned alive to the Gong Hun Country. As for those Consolidated Equipment Stage experts who had returned alive, they all had different degrees of frostbite. Some even had their fingers or toes frozen off, and some even had their ears and noses frozen off.
It was precisely because of these statistics that the people of the Gong Hun Country had a natural fear of the ice plains. As such, in the past few decades, no one from the Gong Hun Country had dared to explore the ice plains.
Gong Ben Lei nodded and said, "Mister is right. It's best for us to go back and prepare. Then we'll send two people back to deliver a letter and have them prepare warm clothes. Otherwise, with our current clothes, we won't be able to walk far in the Icefield."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then said solemnly: "How about this, I'll stay here and keep an eye on the situation. If there are any changes, I'll immediately send a letter back. You guys go back and prepare some warm clothes."
As soon as Gong Ben Lei heard Zhao Hai's words, his face changed, and he immediately said: "No, definitely not. That's too dangerous."
Zhao Hai shook his head, then he said: "Trust me, you should go back. I have some understanding of the power of destruction. You can go back, there's no need to worry about me."
Gong Ben Lei shook his head and said, "No. It's precisely because of Mister's understanding of the power of destruction that we can't let Mister stay here. If something happens to you, then we wouldn't be able to find anyone who understands the power of destruction. Therefore, Mister must return with us. You absolutely cannot stay here, absolutely cannot." Gong Ben Lei shook his head and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai looked at Gong Ben Lei's resolute expression, then he could only nod helplessly. Actually, he didn't stay here to observe the environment. He wanted to wait for Gong Ben Lei and the others to return to the ice plains. But now, it seems like his plan was impossible.
When Gong Ben Lei saw Zhao Hai nod, he relaxed. He was now afraid that something would happen to Zhao Hai. This was because he could see from Zhao Hai's performance that Zhao Hai's position in the Hu Clan wasn't ordinary. If something happened to Zhao Hai, then they wouldn't be able to explain it to the Hu Clan. Therefore, he couldn't let Zhao Hai stay here.
Everyone turned around and returned. When they returned, it only took them four hours. This was also the mentality of most people. Going back was always faster than going forward.
When they returned to the city wall, they were relieved. To be honest, being in a place full of destruction energy made them feel very uncomfortable. No matter what profession they were, they couldn't use the power of destruction. Because of this, they felt uncomfortable all over. Moreover, their strength was being drained very quickly, but they couldn't replenish it. This was the most terrible thing. Zhao Hai and the others didn't know what to do next.
After returning to the city wall, the sky was already dark. However, Gong Ben Lei didn't have time to rest. He immediately sent two people to Shooting Sun City. He wanted the city to prepare some clothes to resist the cold.
The team had a total of eleven people. Now that four of them were sent away, only seven were left. The seven of them rested behind the city wall. Although there was also the power of destruction here, it wasn't very strong. They could still recover some of their strength. For them, this was very important.
The next morning, after everyone got up, the first thing they did was to go to the city wall and look at the situation outside. Fortunately, although the power of destruction was still very strong, it wasn't any different from yesterday. It didn't get stronger or weaker. For them, this wasn't good news, but it wasn't bad news either.
Everyone came down from the city wall and ate some dried meat and drank some water. Then they recovered their strength. In this place, they felt that the power they absorbed couldn't compare to the power they consumed. Because of this, they were able to recover as much as they could.
In the next few days, they had been waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Soon, reinforcements arrived. It only took three days for a hundred-man team to arrive. This hundred-man team had a total of three hundred hunchbacked beasts. On the backs of these hunchbacked beasts, there were many things piled on top of the heavy shelves.
Zhao Hai didn't know who the leader of this team was. However, when Gong Ben Lei saw this person, he couldn't help but be startled. This was because he knew who this person was. This person was a famous expert of the Gong Hun Country. He was a Void Realm expert called Lei Zhenbo.
When Gong Ben Lei saw Lei Zhenbo, he immediately went to greet him and said, "Sir, why did you come personally? You can have them send us some supplies."
Lei Zhenbo smiled faintly and said, "If you can come, then why can't I? Not only did I come this time, I'm also going to enter the Icefield with you. I've brought everything you need. Let's have them prepare everything. One day should be enough. Let's rest for a while before we enter the Icefield."
Gong Ben Lei nodded, then he turned to Lei Zhenbo and said, "Sir Lei, let me introduce you. This is the Hu Clan's Hu Hai. He's here to help us. Mister Hu Hai is very knowledgeable about the power of destruction."
Lei Zhenbo turned his head to look at Zhao Hai. He carefully sized up Zhao Hai before he said, "I've heard about Mister's matter. Great, very great. I want to thank Mister here. On behalf of the Gong Hun Country, I want to thank Mister."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Mister Lei is too polite. This is what I should do."
Upon hearing how Zhao Hai addressed Lei Zhenbo, Gong Ben Lei couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed. Although he respected Zhao Hai, he still felt that Zhao Hai was wrong this time. Although Zhao Hai was a great help to the Gong Hun Country, Lei Zhenbo was a Void Realm expert. In front of such an expert, Gong Ben Lei should at least address him as Sir and not Mister. This was clearly a mistake. This was something that wasn't allowed in the continent.
Just as Gong Ben Lei was about to remind Zhao Hai, Lei Zhenbo laughed and said, "I think Mister Hu Hai is too polite. With Mister's strength, you actually came to support my Gong Hun Country. Moreover, you didn't hesitate to come to the frontlines. This Lei admires you!"
Boom! Lei Zhenbo's words were like a clap of thunder, exploding in the ears of Gong Ben Lei and the others. They knew what Lei Zhenbo's words meant. Lei Zhenbo's words meant that Zhao Hai had the same strength as him. This was too shocking. Lei Zhenbo was a Void Realm expert. In other words, Zhao Hai was also a Void Realm expert? How is this possible?
Gong Ben Lei and the others stared at Zhao Hai with their mouths agape. They could not tell that Zhao Hai was a Void Realm expert. This was just too shocking. Lei Zhenbo looked at Gong Ben Lei and the others. He understood why they were so surprised, but he did not say anything. It was not that Gong Ben Lei and the others could not be blamed for their poor eyesight. It was just that Zhao Hai had hidden his strength too well. If not for the fact that Zhao Hai was so calm and confident right in front of him, he would not have believed that Zhao Hai was actually a Void Realm expert. After all, every Void Realm expert had a powerful aura about them. Even if they did not intentionally release their aura, it would still affect others. This was especially so for those ordinary Professionals who had yet to reach the Consolidating Equipment Stage. For Zhao Hai to be so calm after seeing him, there was only one explanation. Zhao Hai was a Void Realm expert of the same level as him.
After that, Lei Zhenbo discovered that although on the surface Zhao Hai did not seem to have reached the Consolidating Equipment Stage, but his strength always gave him a feeling that he could not see through. It was as if what he saw was just an illusion, and behind this illusion, there were many things hidden. It was because of this discovery that Lei Zhenbo believed that Zhao Hai was a Void Realm expert of the same level as him.
When Zhao Hai heard Lei Zhenbo's words, he knew that Lei Zhenbo had discovered his strength. He did not stand on ceremony and just smiled faintly. "Mister, you are too polite. This time, this matter concerns the entire Soul World. How could I not come?" This was no doubt admitting that Lei Zhenbo's words were correct. He was indeed a Void Realm expert.
With Zhao Hai's admission, Gong Ben Lei and the others shuddered. At the same time, they broke out in cold sweat. They kept thinking if they had offended Zhao Hai in some way. If that was the case, then they would be in big trouble. Luckily, after thinking for a long time, they did not think that they had been rude to Zhao Hai. This made them heave a sigh of relief.
