Then——
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
They were very fast. As they ran, they brought with them a gust of cold wind and snow.
In the blink of an eye, the three Mutated Beasts were less than a hundred meters away.
Roar!
One of them opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and bit towards Su Jingxing’s head.
Bang!
A strange sound.
Bam! Bam!
Two more strange sounds followed.
Su Jingxing stood rooted to the ground, he did not move the slightest inch.
However, the heads of the three Mutated Beasts exploded into pieces. Their headless bodies fell to the ice and remained motionless.
“Dead?”
“No, they’re not dead. There’s still energy surging.”
Su Jingxing, who had casually killed the Mutated Beasts, sensed the corpses and discovered that there was a strange aura slowly spinning in the remaining bodies of the three Mutated Beasts.
Under this aura, the headless corpses of the Mutated Beasts actually slowly melted bit by bit.
In less than five minutes, the Mutated Beasts that were about the size of a wolf each melted into the snow and disappeared!
“Interesting.”
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at the messy but snow-covered ground. His eyes filled with surprise.
There is something wrong with these three Mutated Beasts!
There is also something wrong with this planet.
Circulating the Six Comets Records and sensing the heavenly secrets, Su Jingxing realized that although there were very few heavenly secrets here, they were very chaotic.
It was like a fishing net. Although there weren’t many lines, they were entangled with each other, and the center was an entire tangled mess.
Su Jingxing tried to sense deeper. Suddenly, he perked up and his consciousness returned.
It was ejected!
The depths of the heavenly secrets of this planet seemed to be restrained, forcefully pushing back Su Jingxing’s consciousness.
“No wonder there are Heavenly Dao crystals. This planet is not simple.”
Su Jingxing pondered.
Suddenly, he put away his thoughts and turned to look behind him.
A group of nine men and women in protective suits were slowly approaching.
One of the men had a mechanical arm bent and crippled.
Although the face of the man in the helmet was pale from the pain, his eyes, like the others, were filled with shock, horror, disbelief, and passion as he stared at Su Jingxing.
…
“Team Leader, do you see that? I’m not crazy. There really is such a person!”
Liu Zhi’ang shouted excitedly into the walkie-talkie, “Look, he’s only wearing thin clothes. Yet the low temperature around him won’t cause him any harm!”
“How is this possible? How is this possible? How did he do it?”
“That’s right. Is he still human? Even Head Instructor Zhao can’t walk on the surface in only a single piece of clothing.”
“Team Leader, quickly think of a way to communicate with this person. Old Liu is right. This person is very, very powerful. If we can establish ties with him, perhaps all of us will be saved.”
“Stop shouting. He saved Old Wang and me. If the Ice Devils hadn’t suddenly run towards him and were easily killed by him, Old Wang and I would be dead by now.”
“Everyone, stop for a moment. He’s looking over, he’s looking over!”
Sensing Su Jingxing’s gaze, the nine people, including Liu Zhi’ang, immediately shut up. They spread their hands and squeezed out stiff, happy, or excited smiles.
Su Jingxing didn’t say anything either. He scanned the nine people one by one.
He confirmed that these nine people all had a powerful aura in their bodies.
Well, “powerful” was relative to ordinary people. If he really had to categorize them, they would be at the level of seventh-grade martial artists.
There were nine people, seven men and two women. One older one was in the thirties, while the others were in their twenties.
The protective suit they were wearing was equipped with a mechanical exoskeleton. It was very thick and heavy.
Ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to walk, let alone run in it.
In other words, these nine people are local martial artists on this planet?
As Su Jingxing pondered, he saw a young man among the nine people suddenly gesture at him. The mouth in the helmet kept opening and closing as he spoke.
Before Su Jingxing could read his lips, the oldest man suddenly took two steps forward and faced Su Jingxing. With a thud, he dropped onto one knee on the icy ground.
Hmm?
Su Jingxing was puzzled.
Liu Zhi’ang and the others were also stunned.
However, in the next moment, the eight others immediately followed and also knelt down on one knee.
“…”
What is going on?
Kneeling down to thank him?
While feeling surprised, Su Jingxing saw the oldest man shouting something.
Immediately, he sent a mental voice transmission.
“What did you just call me?”
…
Wang Peifeng’s body trembled. His mouth fell open in shock.
However, immediately after, he looked at Su Jingxing excitedly and shouted, “Is it the Perfected One talking to me?”
“It’s me.”
Su Jingxing replied calmly, “You don’t have to say anything. Just think it in your mind.”
With the enhancement of soul power, his will could penetrate the other party’s mind and listen to their thoughts.
Such an ability was already achievable by the Martial Art True Intent of a second-grade martial artist.
“Alright, alright. As expected of a Perfected One.”
Wang Peifeng thought to himself and replied excitedly, “My name is Wang Peifeng. Greetings, Perfected One. Thank you for saving the lives of my two teammates.”
“That’s a small matter. But what’s with ‘Perfected One’? Why are you calling me a ‘Perfected One’?” Su Jingxing asked three consecutive questions.
“Perfected One, this is the first time I’ve seen an expert like you. As for the origin of ‘Perfected One’, it came from the ancient legends of the Sea Star.”
Wang Peifeng replied excitedly, “In the ancient legends of Sea Star, there are cultivators who can fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. They can overturn rivers and seas, chase after stars and moons. Such experts are collectively called Perfected Ones, and we are just mortals.”
“…I see.”
Su Jingxing pondered. “What’s going on with your planet? When did it become like this?”
“It’s a long story.”
Wang Peifeng sighed. Then, he probed, “If you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you come to our vehicle and I’ll explain in detail?”
“Sure.” Su Jingxing nodded and agreed.
Through the Cosmic Tower, Ming had already found the exact location of the Heavenly Dao crystals.
However, the secrets of this planet piqued Su Jingxing’s interest. He was in no hurry to search for the crystals. In any case, the Heavenly Dao crystals had been there for an unknown period of time. A few minutes wouldn’t make a difference.
“Thank you, thank you.”
Hearing this, Wang Peifeng stood up excitedly and said, “Everyone, get up quickly and return to the vehicle.”
“Ah, he’s leaving just like that? That won’t do, Team Leader. How can we give up just like that? This expert is definitely not simple. We have to bring him back to the underground city no matter what. If he can help us, we might be able to leave this place,” Liu Zhi’ang shouted indignantly.
“That’s right, Team Leader. Since the other party was able to save Old Wang and Old Han, it means that he isn’t a vicious person. If…”
“Shut up!”
Wang Peifeng suppressed his excitement and shouted in a low voice, “Get up. The Perfected One has said that he’s willing to come to the vehicle and talk to us in detail!”
“Huh? Really?”
“When did he agree? I didn’t hear the expert speak just now.”
“I didn’t see him open his mouth either!”
“…”
When Liu Zhi’ang and the others heard this, they stood up, feeling puzzled and curious.
Wang Peifeng did not explain.
He only turned his head and smiled awkwardly at Su Jingxing.
Then, he led the way.
Although Liu Zhi’ang and company were extremely curious, they did not dare to speak under Wang Peifeng’s orders.
They only turned to glance at Su Jingxing from time to time.
He was clearly walking on two feet, but he could easily keep up with their mechanical exoskeletons.
It was as if the terrifying cold air did not exist to him.
The ice and snow melted automatically when they got close to his body.
“Tss…”
“Old Han, did you guys notice? There are no footprints on the ground he walked on! He’s actually walking in the air!”
As they traveled, a person’s exclamation suddenly sounded in the earpiece.
“F*ck, it’s true!”
“Amazing, really amazing!”
“Is this the legendary Traceless on Snow?”
“…”
Liu Zhi’ang and company became lively again, shouting into their earpieces.
“Shut up!”
Wang Peifeng’s face turned green. As he cursed, he did not dare to look at Su Jingxing.
“Shut up, all of you. Anyone who says another word will be punished according to third-grade military law!”
Instantly, there was silence in the earpiece.
Liu Zhi’ang and the others quickly shut up and looked ahead.
Roar!
