The layer of ice on Mystic Glacier was extremely sturdy. Even the soil beneath the ice was frozen together and was as hard as steel.
The two extraterrestrials dug very hard.
However, Bai Xiaowen could still tell that the two aliens were not weak. They were both Lord-level.
Evolver Lord-level, if they were Chosen, had God-given skills and were much stronger than the average Lord-level. If they had Master-level or even higher combat specialization, it would not be a problem for them to challenge King-level spiritual creatures.
If the two aliens used their full strength, they would be able to dig through the ice very quickly.
However, the two did not seem to want to cause too much of a commotion. They were digging very carefully, which caused their progress to be slow.
Bai Xiaowen found it interesting and said with a smile, "Hey, you guys are so careful. You can't dig faster than the ice. How long are you going to keep digging? It's dangerous to stay here for too long. "
"Hmph, it's none of your business." The maned man said grumpily, "We're already giving you face by not chasing you away. Don't talk anymore."
It seemed that the aliens also knew "face". Of course, Bai Xiaowen did not understand the other party's language. He only received the thought waves when the other party spoke and understood what the other party meant. The situation where the entire universe spoke Chinese only existed in novels.
Bai Xiaowen's eyebrows twitched slightly and he said with a smile, "I don't want to talk … but you guys seem to be in trouble."
The two aliens were getting impatient. They were working hard, and now they were being mocked. No one could stand it.
However, just as the two were about to curse Bai Xiaowen, the scaly man's face suddenly froze.
"Oh no."
The maned man did not seem to notice. "What's wrong?"
"Danger, dodge!"
Spiritual energy gushed out from the scaly man's feet, and his body swam away like a slippery loach.
The ice layer cracked, and a group of huge ice leeches suddenly jumped out!
One by one, the ice leeches bit at the maned alien.
The maned man only reacted when his partner warned him. He did not have time to dodge. With a roar, his body expanded, and he instantly turned into a muscular bull-headed giant with a pair of curved horns on his head.
"Roar!"
The Ice Leeches seemed to have collided with a transparent wall, and only faint golden ripples appeared on the wall.
"It's similar to the tauren in the mountain pass … I wonder if the top of its head is green." Bai Xiaowen stroked his chin and commented. At first, he felt that the maned alien looked familiar. It seemed that it was not an illusion.
After the maned alien transformed into a bull-headed giant, it suddenly pulled out a sharp axe that shone with purple light and smashed it down with all its might.
Clang!
Shockwaves rolled and the ground shook. The ice leeches in front of the Mane Men trembled, unable to advance or retreat.
The scaled man hiding at the side also took out a magic staff and quickly chanted a spell.
As he chanted, the blue dots of light gathered into a crystalline shape and lined up in front of him like stars.
"The stars are aligned!"
The scaled man pointed his staff, and instantly, seven rays of starlight descended from the sky, erupting seven times in a row! Every ray of starlight accurately hit an ice leech.
Two of the ice leeches were attracted and quickly plunged into the ice layer, and then traveled through the ice layer.
Bai Xiaowen's Eye of Evolution could even see the meridian structure of the ice leeches that traveled through the ice layer. This ice-type monster actually had some kind of innate skill that was similar to "Evasion", and could travel through the ice layer.
It seemed that the ice layer of Mystic Glacier was the home of the ice leeches.
The two aliens did not want to make too much noise to avoid alarming the monsters. But they spent too much time, causing many ice leeches to appear at once, and they had provoked a group of ice leeches.
Now it seemed that the Mane Men acted as meat shields, providing both defense and crowd control, while the scaled man acted as a mage-type class and cast a large-scale Star Spell. They worked well together.
However, Bai Xiaowen shook his head when he saw the scaled man's Star Spell.
Most of the power of this Star Spell was wasted, turning into flashy blue light effects, and not much power was actually poured into the ice leeches to cause damage.
In the end, although it looked intimidating, it was far from enough to defeat the Lord-level ice leeches.
As expected, under the attack of the Star Spell, the ice leeches froze for two seconds, during which the Mane Men killed one of them with their axes. That was all.
After a short pause, the ice leeches furiously pounced on the Mane Men, their terrifying mouthparts sticking to the Mane Men's spiritual energy shield like suction cups.
Bai Xiaowen could "see" waves of energy being sucked into the ice leeches' bodies from the spiritual energy shield.
"They're absorbing my spiritual energy!" The Mane Men screamed and jumped up, quickly rising into the air and shaking off the ice leeches at the same time.
However, several of the ice leeches were like bloodthirsty leeches, clinging to the Mane Men's spiritual energy shield and not letting go.
The ice leeches that were shaken off changed their target and pounced on the scaled man.
The scaled man dealt with the first two ice leeches with ease, but when more leeches came, he could only flee pathetically.
"My friend, my friend! Quick, get your Frost Wyrm to fight and help us! "The scaled man said hurriedly.
"I would like to help you, but how could a mere Lord-level summoned beast have that ability?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
The Mane Men did not expect Bai Xiaowen to mock his whispers, and his brown-haired face flushed red. Fortunately, his hair covered his face and it was not obvious.
The scaled man quickly said, "I'm sorry, but we have to work together to excavate this place. Otherwise, if we run away, the ice leeches will turn around and attack you! "
"That sounds reasonable … Wait, are you hoping that I'll join you? I'll have a share of the excavation results? "Bai Xiaowen said half-jokingly.
"Of course! I swear in the name of the Master of Stars … Whatever we excavate here, I'll share it with you! " The scaled man said. "Please use the Frost Wyrm's Frost Breath skill to slow down these ice leeches. I'll use more powerful Star Magic to deal with them!"
"You're quite familiar with the Frost Wyrm's skills … Unfortunately, the Frost Breath is too weak against these ice monsters."
Bai Xiaowen opened his hands slightly, and a powerful aura spread out.
He activated his True Inner Deterrence.
Whether it was the ice leeches or the two aliens, they were all within the range of his aura.
Bai Xiaowen didn't do it on purpose. It was just that Deterrence was a skill that released Haki from 360 degrees without any blind spots. It didn't care about friend or foe at all. It was far inferior to Mental Deterrence at the Awakened stage.
Even if Bai Xiaowen's Spiritual Power Mastery had reached Expert Level 5 and his Deterrence had reached Expert Level, it could not change this fact. Bai Xiaowen thought that it was probably due to the imperfect data in the Posthumans' world.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen rarely used this skill, lest he hurt his own army or summoned creatures.
However, Bai Xiaowen didn't feel any pressure using it to trick his two extraterrestrial friends.
Of course, the two aliens only used a little of their spiritual power to hurt themselves, and at the cost of minor injuries, they broke free from the Deterrence's control.
"Well done!" The scaled man praised loudly when he saw the ice leeches under Bai Xiaowen's control with a trace of green blood at the corner of his mouth. Then, he waved his staff and quickly chanted a spell.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt a great pressure above his head. He looked up and saw a black shadow falling from the misty white sky. It was getting bigger and faster, and its friction with the atmosphere even showed signs of igniting. A tail began to appear.
"Damn it, it's the Fallen Star Spell!"
The mane man glared at the scaled man. "Chadu, you're crazy. Using the Fallen Star Spell here … If you lead one of the other eight large planets here, we won't even have time to escape!"
"Fortunately, it looks like a larger meteorite." Bai Xiaowen quietly retreated a distance away from the two madmen.
The mane man's worry was unnecessary. In this cluster of planets, the other eight planets as large as Mystic Glacier were millions of kilometers away from each other. Even if Chadu's Fallen Star Spell drew them here, it would take a long time — perhaps a few hours, or even longer — for the planets to collide.
A few hours was enough for them to escape in advance, but there was no time to rush to other planets or find a teleportation portal. They could only wander in the starry sky of the Star Field for a period of time and rely on flying to cover the distance of a million kilometers before choosing a new planet to land on.
This process would be extremely troublesome and time-consuming.
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself that Chadu's strength was only so-so, but he had such terrifying Celestial Magic. Especially in an environment like the Land of Origin, if he went all out, he could cause a lot of trouble for the other side. It seemed that any posthuman in the Land of Origin could not be underestimated. Who knew if there was a hidden Ultraman?
Chadu the scaled man no longer had the strength to speak. His eyes were bulging like a goldfish's, and his face was green as he tried to control the landing point of the Fallen Star Spell.
As for the ice leeches, Bai Xiaowen did not need to continue controlling them when the Fallen Star Spell was about to land. The powerful shockwave caused by the impact of the meteorite made them look like cockroaches locked in a narrow space, and they could only watch as the slipper came at them.
Boom!
The terrifying shockwave was like a hurricane of above force 12.
The earth trembled violently, icebergs collapsed, and hills cracked.
By the time everything calmed down, the scene before him was already a mess. A gigantic black crater with a radius of several hundred meters had appeared on the ice. Mist and smoke were rising from the edge of the crater. Even the bone-chilling cold in the air had been temporarily replaced by scorching heat.
"Hehe, these damned bugs, there's nothing left of them now!" Chadu the scaled man said proudly as he panted heavily.
Cha Du hadn't summoned such a large meteor with his Meteor Spell just now. Instead, he had drawn a meteor from a nearby area to attack him.
Just like Bai Xiaowen's Sky Lightning, the majestic power was not the posthuman's own power, but the power of nature.
Even so, Chadu had expended a lot of energy. Similarly, the Fallen Star Spell was far more powerful than the Sky Lightning.
Bai Xiaowen pursed his lips slightly. After the initial shock, he quickly saw the obvious weakness of the Fallen Star Spell.
He would not trade the Fallen Star Spell or Bai Xiaowen's Sky Lightning for it.
"I hope the treasure buried under the ice hasn't been destroyed!" The maned man sighed.
Chadu the scaled man laughed. "Of course not, I know what I'm doing. The planetary portal will not be destroyed. No matter how strong the impact is, it will automatically lead into the extradimensional space … "
The two aliens flew into the crater in tacit understanding, as if they had forgotten about Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen flew in silently. Now was not the time to be concerned about face, and there was no need to wait for the other party's invitation. After all, he had done his part according to the agreement and provided them with a control skill.
The two aliens did not chase him away. They were not so ungrateful as to kick him to the curb after he had outlived his usefulness.
"Eh?" Chadu the scaled man suddenly cried out in surprise.
On the side of the deep crater, a collapsed tunnel appeared.
Through the scattered sand and ice, one could vaguely see that only a small part of the tunnel had been destroyed by the meteorite. The rest should be intact.
"There really is a ruin here!" The maned man said excitedly. "Chadu, I was right, wasn't I? You're still arguing that there's only a portal down there! "
Chadu the scaled man's gaping mouth finally closed after a long time.
"How … how could this be? Damn it, why did I invite that person to help? "
It turned out that Chadu had thought that there were no ruins down there, only a planetary portal, so he had invited Bai Xiaowen to help to save him some effort.
But now that the ruins had appeared, it was completely different.
In the Land of Origin, the value of ruins was very difficult to estimate.
Perhaps there would be nothing, but there was a higher possibility of obtaining valuable divine artifacts and information about the Land of Origin.
Although this was only the second layer of the Star Sector and was still far from the core Star Sector where the main hub was, who would dare to say that the key to the core secrets of the Land of Origin would not be in the outer Star Sector, quietly waiting for the fated person?
Bai Xiaowen felt that the two aliens were about to turn hostile. He crossed his arms and looked calmly at the two stunned people, waiting for them to attack.
Surprisingly, the two aliens did not go back on their words.
The scaled man only lamented for a while. If he had known this would happen, he would not have asked Bai Xiaowen to help even if it cost him all his spiritual energy. At most, he would have used the Spirit Crystals he had in reserve. Now that the exploration had just begun, everyone had plenty of Spirit Crystals in reserve.
"Hey, you're a lucky guy!" Chadu the scaled man turned around and said, "My Falling Star Spell broke a tunnel, and two collapsed entrances appeared. We'll choose this one, it's up to you if you want to come together … "
Then, the scaled man and the maned man went straight into one of the collapsed entrances.
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Then I'll choose the other collapsed entrance … I hope we can both gain something." He waved his hand, and the frost dragon took a deep breath and cleaned up the soil and ice at the other collapsed entrance.
