"Sir, please take a look."
A three-dimensional and vivid topographic map constructed by soul power was presented in front of Nie Rang and Yu Ji. Because it was reduced in scale, the terrain could be seen moving and changing with the naked eye.
Nie Rang and Yu Ji were retainers who had followed the Lin Family for generations. They spent most of their time by Lin Baiying's side and did not stay in the bitter cold Jie Chuan. Thus, although they understood the terrain here, they could not compare to their subordinates who had been here for a long time. At this moment, they specially called people over to understand the terrain they would encounter. They were clear of Lu Ping's true realm and did not dare to be careless. Seeing that Lu Ping was not familiar with Jie Chuan, they immediately wanted to make a big deal out of this.
"Although this place is only a few miles away from Jie Chuan, it is a straight line distance. There is no such passage. Looking at their speed, even if it is a smooth journey, it will take at least three to four hours. If it is not smooth, they will not be able to make it out in three to five days. It is normal for them to die under the glacier. "The subordinate explained.
"Yes." Nie Rang looked at the map and nodded. He then asked, "Then in your opinion, where should we attack?"
"Here." The subordinate pointed at an ice valley and said, "This ice valley is not high. We can attack from two mountains away. We can attack or retreat. The opponent is only afraid of one person. It is impossible for them to cause any fatal damage to us. "
"Here? How do you know that they will definitely come here? "Yu Ji looked at where the subordinate pointed and frowned.
The subordinate immediately explained, "It is not that they will come here, but this ice valley will coincidentally move in their direction."
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure." The subordinate said confidently.
"Since that is the case, you and I will each lead a group of long range attackers and lie in ambush here." Yu Ji said to Nie Rang.
Nie Rang nodded and turned to instruct his subordinate, "Those who do not have this kind of method, continue to maintain a distance of two miles and spread out to surround them."
"Yes." The subordinates beside him received the order and did as they were told. They scattered like stars in this glacier.
As for Lu Ping and his group, they stayed together. The previous battle with Si Lu had caused many young experimental subjects to be injured. Right now, there was no time for them to stop and rest. Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, but this still affected their condition. The youths had been imprisoned underground for a long time, so it was not as cold as the outside world. After traveling through the glacier for some time, many people could not withstand the bitter cold.
Although all of them possessed extraordinary physical strength, they were merely experimental subjects in the eyes of the Four Paths of Darkness. What they grasped were things related to experiments. Other than that, there were many other things related to soul power that no one had ever taught them. There were too many people who did not know how to use their soul power to resist the cold. Now that he had received some temporary guidance, he was unable to grasp it in a short time. Fortunately, there were a few youths in the team who knew how to use their soul power to control the fire, so they could give them some warmth from time to time. However, this was not a long-term solution. This kind of special ability usually consumed a lot of energy. One of the youths didn't even know this. He hugged a ball of fire together and finally fainted from exhaustion.
Lu Ping saw all kinds of difficulties, but he didn't have any way to solve them once and for all besides persevering bitterly. And now, they finally reached the point where they could not persevere any longer. Half of the youths in the team were exhausted. Some were frozen to the point where their bodies were purple, some were so tired that they did not have any energy, and some were heavily injured and had lost a lot of blood, so they had used up all their energy.
As for the other half, they looked like they were at the end of their rope. If they were to help this half, it would only backfire.
"Big brother …" Everyone looked at Lu Ping, and they all unknowingly started following Lu Ping's lead. Even though some of them seemed older than Lu Ping, they still couldn't help it. However, the way they called him Big Brother was not based on age.
"We can't go on like this," Lu Ping said as he looked at the terrain around him. If this was a plain, or even a snowy plain outside of Jie River, they would have walked a long way if they headed straight south. But in this Jie River, there were ice mountains, and the path was winding. They did not know how much time they had wasted. If not for a youth in the team who could use superpowers to identify directions, they might have gotten lost.
Hearing Lu Ping say this, some of the youths misunderstood. A youth who had already sat on the ground raised his head with difficulty. His dirty face squeezed out a smile and said, "I can't walk anymore. Don't worry about me."
Once he started, the other youths who had reached their limits began to express their opinions.
"I can't do it either. Don't worry about me."
"Continue if you can."
"I didn't expect to be able to escape. It's already not a loss to take a few looks."
"The sky is so high …"
"It's also very big!"
"What's at the end of the sky?"
"Of course, the end of the sky is a mountain. Otherwise, what else can stop the sky?"
"That mountain must be much higher than these mountains."
The youths had only been suffering for as long as they could remember. They had never experienced the affairs of the world, and their thoughts were extremely simple. In the face of life and death, no one seemed particularly flustered. Those who could walk would continue, and those who couldn't would end up like this … They easily accepted this kind of ending. They didn't want to look in the direction they came from, but the south they wanted to look at was blocked by an iceberg. So everyone began to look at the sky. How good the sky was. It was so high, so far, without any obstacles, and filled with the feeling of freedom.
Lu Ping listened to these people's discussion without showing any expression. He didn't have any intention of leaving anyone behind. He just remembered that when he first escaped from the organization, he didn't have much time to look at the sky. At that time, he and Su Tang were in the snowfield and couldn't tell the direction. He could only keep walking forward. At that time, he really hoped that there was a path that would show him where he should go.
And now, in the same escape, what they needed the most was a path. A straight path that didn't require so much effort.
Lu Ping walked in front of the iceberg in front of them. To cross this mountain, they either had to climb over it or go left or right to find a canyon that could pass through the mountain. But now, half of them couldn't hold on, and the other half might not be able to withstand such torment.
"Everyone, take a step back," Lu Ping suddenly said.
"Ah?" Everyone was puzzled.
"If there's no path, let's blast a path out." Lu Ping patted the iceberg in front of him.
"You are going to …" Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak. Even though they didn't have much experience, they knew that what Lu Ping was talking about was inconceivable.
"Stand a little further away." Lu Ping waved at everyone.
Everyone listened obediently. Those who couldn't move were helped further away by those who could.
Lu Ping turned around and looked at the iceberg in front of him again. He remembered that year at Zhenfeng College, he and the dean had been blasted out of the peak on the back mountain. The dean had killed Wei Zhong with a finger. But what was even more shocking was what happened after that. He saw a black robe, saw the shadow of a saber, and heard the sound of an unstoppable soul force.
After that, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. The back mountain of Zhenfeng College was split into two.
Later on, he heard that that person was the famous Yan Qiu Ci, a peak expert who had connected his five spirits.
Even Yan Qiu Ci could split open a mountain. Then, he shouldn't have a problem, right?
