The universe no doubt had to be fearfully respected because it was strong and mysterious, and had an unlimited expanse. However humans had the intelligence that no other living things had.
To retreat or advance. While retreating was safer and advancing was dangerous, humans tend to choose the latter. While other living things retreat because of danger, humans would choose to advance. One could overcome fear.
If the power of the majestic heavens and earth could gather on Wang Zheng, they would instantly eliminate Wang Zheng totally. However the power of the heavens and earth only followed one rule, one law. Its appearance was not to destroy anything, not to target anything. Wang Zheng could be a pawn in a game of chess or jump out of the chess game to be a chess player.
Wang Zheng chose the latter.
The 128 Point Primordial Regression Technique instantly broke through and circulated throughout his whole body. The howling snowstorm formed an enclosed environment and this type of environment actually fulfilled the comprehensive explosion of the Primordial Regression Technique.
It rushed through the whole body and the strength of the body and mind perfectly unified as 1 – breakthrough!
Wang Zheng judged himself for the first time.
The snow covering Wang Zheng’s body suddenly shone brightly. The snow which was originally unmoving in the howling winds suddenly floated with the wind and revealed Wang Zheng’s original body. That shining original body, Wang Zheng’s eyes shone with thick golden light. It cut through the howling winds like a sharp knife, piercing the sky directly.
Wang Zheng advanced slowly within the howling snowstorm. Those strong howling winds could blow a mech into the air but upon meeting Wang Zheng, they automatically bypassed him, they even carried a hint of gentleness.
They treated Wang Zheng as one of them.
Wang Zheng stretched out his hands and caught the wind. Snow danced around him as though welcoming their same kind. They welcomed their owner. And as for the place outside of Wang Zheng, nature was still cruel and swept away everything. Aisbotan was named the planet of the ice buried bones because it was cruel here. If not for the mines, this would be a place with few humans. Only those explorers who did not want to live would come here for excitement.
Within the howls of the wind and snowstorm, there was a strange deep sound that travelled out. It was carried through the howls of the wind like a deep sounding cannon. This type of sound was unending.
If it were the citizens of Aisboten, their hearts would chill and shiver. Because that was the howl of the ice beasts. And this sounded more than just one or two of them.
At this moment, the base had already detected the creatures and the city was in a emergency shutdown. The snowstorm was okay. The Hail Cloud Alliance was top in the technology for defending against these. From the architecture style to the material, it was enough to withstand even stronger snowstorms. Except that these ice beasts were really terrifying. They were the protectors of this planet and snowstorms were like their battle horns. The usually lone ice beasts would gather in packs before the snowstorms arrived.
Some people said that this was their mating season. Some also said that they were performing some sort of ritual but no one really understood. The observational abilities of ice beasts in snowstorms far surpassed human technology. In the process of developing this planet, the Hail Cloud Alliance also tried to avoid them the best they could. There was no need to come to a conflict with these ice beasts.
At the base, Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu were indeed unsettled. What was Wang Zheng doing?
He was not a reckless person, why would he suddenly do that?
And on the other side, Cronode and Redington were having a lively chat. They originally wanted to make a move to deal with Wang Zheng. Unexpectedly, this difficult problem solved by itself. They had seen wilful people but not to his extent.
He would die without doubt in this type of snowstorm.
They had even heard that ice beasts appeared outside. If he was lucky, perhaps he would be eaten by the ice beasts.
In the snowstorm, the human’s field of vision and technology would be suppressed to the lowest condition. However, ice beasts seemed to be the messengers of snowstorms. They could feel what the snow and wind could feel. Of course, this could also be a legend, except that all Hail Cloud citizens thought so. And up to now, no ice beast was captured alive. Hail Cloud Alliance had dispatched mecha battle teams to capture ice beasts for research. With mankind’s strength, they were definitely able of doing such a thing.
After paying quite a big price, they caught a live ice beast. However, shortly after capturing, before they could send it to the research facility, that ice beast died. At the same time, its body strangely started to age. When they dissected the corpse later, the scientists all thought that this definitely was a corpse that had died at least more than 10 years ago.
This deepened the intriguing mystique of these ice beasts. There were many in Hail Cloud who revered the ice beasts as well. They thought that this was a type of celestial beast. Of course, the residents of Aisbotan preferred to believe this. After all, while the ice beasts were fierce, but as long as their territories were not invaded, they were unwilling to come into contact with humans.
As for how such a unique living thing survived or ate, this was something no one knew.
However, if now there was a person who could see that scene in the snowstorm, he would most likely be scared half to death.
The ice beasts that were rarely seen appeared one by one. There actually were more than a hundred of them. These ice beasts were a little bigger than the fierce beasts of Tita Star. On their foreheads were shiny horns. These horns could easily pierce through the armour of mecha. These huge beasts weighed up to 30 or 40 tonnes. Their whole body were covered in thick ice-shaped scales. While their eyes were not big, it seemed like they did not rely on their eyes to observe living things. Their eyes were probably only for extra assistance in perceiving the environment.
However, these beasts which usually lived alone were gathering in 1 direction. They howled and walked at the same time.
And surrounded by these frightening ice beasts was a human. He was giving out a golden light and as the golden light stretched outwards, it became a gentle icy light. Wang Zheng’s arms were open, his eyes closed and he was enjoying the feeling of the pure energy circulating within him.
The Primordial Regression Technique was used as the medium to complete the communication between human and nature.
This type of ice beast was really Aisbotan’s spiritual beast. In the cruel icy and snowy world of Aisbotan, life was very rare. It was impossible to support the existence of such a giant lifeform. This was different from Tita Star. Tita Star had plenty of food which could feed the giants. Yet this was impossible in Aisbotan. Especially for these type of ice beasts whose movements were fast and fierce which would definitely require more food than a creature of its size. It deviated from the principle of consumption, but Wang Zheng could now understand that this kind of ice beasts consumed ice and snow as food. However it was through the absorption of the spiritual energy of ice that supported their existence.
Aisbotan did not have intelligent life forms but in reality, ice beasts were the native residents.
These were special living bodies with a certain level of intelligence and spirituality.
Huge ice beasts surrounded Wang Zheng layer by layer and stared at him. Wang Zheng’s body had become a medium, directing power. To the ice beasts, it looked like some sort of ritual.
Wang Zheng did not care about these ice beasts. They were not hostile. The closer these types of living things were to nature, the purer they were. Primordial Regression Technique was a key, a key that opened the door to the secrets of the universe. Every single experience was extremely important to him.
This was the only thing he had, something to rely on to confront this world, to conquer this world.
Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu were the same. They both once thought that with passion and perseverance, there was nothing that they could not do. Everything could be broken, anything could be fought for. They could face life with smiles. Wang Zheng was also the same. He lived optimistically like this until he met Aina.
That type of helplessness and disappointment could only be buried because he had no other choice.
Why?
Because he was weak!
He wanted to be strong, to be stronger, to make this world surrender to him!
Hou~~~~
Even if this was a snowstorm, he wanted it to stop!
That massive horde of ice beasts howled into the sky. They pierced through the snowstorm like thunder and rushed towards the clouds, spreading over a hundred thousand miles.
Finally the snowstorm stopped.
But that was already after 3 days had passed.
At the base, the students continued their daily training. They could even skip them and do whatever they wanted. As elites from the Elite Academy, they did not treat the instructors here as anything. They were here only because of the environment and that had nothing to do with the all these small fries.
Except that the atmosphere was a little weird. Because Wang Zheng disappeared again.
Why again?
It was the same as in the Abyss. As long as it was a trial, Wang Zheng would simply disappear. Compared to the disappearance in the Abyss, it seemed better here. While Aisbotan might be harsh, but it was after all slightly better than the Abyss.
Of course, if it were another person, they would definitely be desperate and directly report the missing person. But if it were Wang Zheng, it seemed like they could wait a little longer.
Once the snowstorm stopped, the base dispatched the snow terrain vehicular patrol team. Even if there was no hope, they had to take a look.
The few instructors were also helpless. This was definitely not their fault. These “ancestors” were already not easy to attend to and they also did not want anything to happen. However something still happened and this Wang Zheng seemed to be quite strong and quite important.
The reduction of members not due to battles was harder to report. However how could this matter be blamed on them? It was this unlucky kid who created this trouble.
Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu had suffered through these three days, especially Snow Li. Ai Xiaolu was already speechless. Her best friend had really sunken deep into it. Ai Xiaolu now blamed herself for meddling too much. If not for her continuous encouragement, perhaps Snow would not be like this. She knew Snow. She was the stubborn type. She would not easily like a person but once she liked someone, it was as though she tied herself to him. She was the type that was entirely devoted. It did not matter what the other party thought, she just limited herself like this.
“Snow, don’t worry. Wang Zheng definitely discovered something. He can run out from the Abyss, Aisbotan is nothing.” Ai Xiaolu said. This was also a loss. Wang Zheng this guy obviously was maintaining his distance from Snow. He treated her more like a good friend and Snow made the move first. How could girls be so foolish.
“Xiaolu, I’m very sad.” Snow Li could not express her own emotions. She was already confused and could not let go.
Ai XIaolu was stunned. Was this necessary, when did it become like this. F**k, Wang Zheng also did not appear to be that attractive.
But then thinking again, this was most probably Snow’s first love. First love this sort of thing was brainless and illogical. It would reduce Snow’s intelligence to 0.
But now looking at Wang Zheng that guy, and seeing Snow’s helplessness, while Ai Xiaolu could not bear it, she had to wake Snow Li up with the cold harsh truth.
