Ling Li left Enshan City and flew straight in the direction of Wolf Mountain.

The scenery in the wild became more and more desolate, and only a white expanse remained between the heavens and the earth. However, along several small river valleys, there are also a few cantonment ramparts, which are not particularly desolate.

That night, like a night owl, Ling Li flew under the moonlight for three hours in a row, and plunged headlong into the barren mountains and mountains north of the Black Mountain Range.

The Wolf Mountain Range to the Yinshan Mountain Range traverses east and west, forming a southern barrier between the Eastern Regions and the Tangwu Plateau in the Northern Regions.

Due to the cataclysm, the Tangwu Plateau stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, isolating the Eastern Continent from the northern ice field where the Northern Burning Cloud Empire was located. The communication between the Eastern Regions and the Burning Cloud Empire in the northern ice field has only two narrow corridors, Dajin Mountain in the west and Tiger Mountain in the east.

"That's it." After flying over the Black Mountain Range, Ling Li landed on a snowy field, and he swept his surroundings with his divine sense, feeling several dangerous auras within a radius of several kilometers.

This made him feel that something was wrong, the territory of high-level alien beasts was very large, generally around tens of kilometers, and now, in a range of only a few kilometers, there were seven or eight alien beasts above the seventh order, and the number of alien beasts on the snow field was far beyond usual.

What happened to make the strange beasts on the Tangwu Plateau leave their winter gathering place and run to the south?

Is it because of the snow disaster?

However, this year's weather conditions are not much different from previous years.

After a little thought, Ling Li summoned the guards of the Witch Demon Clan out of the trial space.

This time, he only brought the transcendent realm powerhouses of the Lieshan Clan, the Shentu Clan, and the Sang Clan.

The Li Shan clan stayed in the area of the Jiuxuan Space, and after obtaining the property of several cities from the Xuanji Sect, the Mengshan clan and the Jing clan were mostly in the wilderness region, responsible for the construction and security of Qingtang Mountain City.

For the alien beasts on the snowfield, Ling Li has very little knowledge and combat experience.

It's dawn now, but it's still dark in the early hours of winter.

After Li Shanqing and Yutai Yingge came out of the trial space, they immediately stood beside Ling Li, and then observed the surrounding situation very vigilantly.

"There are a lot of strange beasts in this area." She said to Ling Li.

Ling Li nodded: "High-level alien beasts are too much of a threat to humans, everyone will start to clean up the alien beasts above the seventh order after dawn, and try to catch them alive." ”

There seems to be a guard post on the top of a mountain nearby, and the beast tide usually occurs in summer, so after entering winter, the garrison soldiers have withdrawn to the south of the mountain, and no one is left behind.

And they came to the outpost.

The outpost was not large, only a three-story reinforced concrete watchtower surrounded by a bluestone wall.

The wall is built against the hill and is not very high, only about ten meters.

At the foot of the hill where the outpost is located, a small frozen river flows. Due to the need for a view, the mountain is rocky and the vegetation is not very lush, mainly shrubs.

Li Shanqing looked up at the sky, and then ordered someone to open the locked bunker door and clean it out.

Shen Tu Xuan released a flame, like a furnace, which quickly raised the temperature in the icy room.

In the large room on the second floor, a conference room was quickly arranged, and in addition to the personnel who served as guards around him, Ling Li summoned all the personnel to discuss the action plan after dawn.

Everyone was wearing the combat uniforms of the Western Qin Mansion, which looked like an army.

"There are a lot of beasts gathered nearby, and we can clear this herd, which can be regarded as a way of training." Elder Lieshan said first. He was burly and bearded, and looked more like a steppe man from the Burning Cloud Empire.

"We only clean up the alien beasts above the sixth order, these alien beasts are too harmful, and the rest is left to the garrison and the personnel who come to train." Ling Li said, "Now the main thing is to find out what is happening in the north, it seems that even most of the hibernating beasts have run over. The herd of beasts gathered now is very large, and a large army needs to be dispatched to encircle and suppress it. Li Sifeng said. Wolves are very cunning, and many tactics are used when encircling and suppressing wolves. ”

"Can I hunt by the way?" Elder Shentu asked with some excitement.

"Hmm...... Catch as much as you can, and then domesticate them in the trial space, these alien beast materials are very useful, and they can't be dried up and fished. Ling Li thought for a moment and said, he marked the map with a marker, "Cleaning up the high-level alien beasts is just a matter of hand, our main task is to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the Tangnu Snow Plain." Those powerful alien beasts have a strong sense of danger, so they don't rush to do it at first, you need to find out their range of movement first, and slowly close the net from a distance. ”

……

At the same time as Ling Li arranged to clean up the alien beasts.

The Arctic Ice Sheet.

It is the polar night season, and the climate on the ice sheet is extremely harsh, with occasional snowstorms.

The sky was dark, the earth was covered with a thick layer of snow, and everywhere there was a white expanse.

To the north of the Tangnu Plateau, at the southern end of Beihai Lake, a huge ice city stands majestically, covered in silver everywhere, and even the tall city walls are shiny and shiny, shimmering with a pale blue light of ice, as if it was built with huge ice bricks.

Hanhai City is the capital of the Lieyun Kingdom, and the largest building complex in this imperial city is not the imperial city, but the Chengtian Temple. Chengtian Temple is a super sect in the Northern Ice Field, and the lord of the Lieyun Empire is not hereditary, but born in Chengtian Temple, so this Yanmen Temple is the owner and manager of this empire. One sect governs a country, and Jotenji holds the secular power of the country, making laws and maintaining order.

In the entire Eastern Continent, Chengtian Temple is also one of the super sects.

The northern snowfield has only five months of frost-free period every year, the land is vast and sparsely populated, here is perennial ice and snow, in this white land, the precipitation is relatively abundant, the land is fertile, and the vegetation is also very lush. The Burning Cloud Empire is a vast empire, but its population is not large, and most of them live in a narrow strip of land between the Tangnu Plateau and the Arctic Ice Sheet. Its total population is just over seven million, which is even smaller than the number of second-tier state capitals in the Eastern Regions Federation.

Hanhai City is located on a mountain-like mountain range in the southwest of Beihai Lake, built against the mountain. The walls of the city are tall and heavy, stretching for dozens of kilometers, like a huge silver snake beast entrenched. In the four corners of the city, there are four huge barracks, each of which resembles a town.

Chengtian Temple is located on the highest point of the whole city, the whole temple is mostly made of ice crystal stone, crystal clear, the appearance looks very much like a fairy tale crystal city, overlooking this city with a population of nearly one million.

There is a nine-storey tower on the top of the mountain of Chengtian Temple, which is nearly 50 meters high, like a crystal jade pillar, straight into the sky.

On the top floor of the nine-story tower, an old monk wearing a red monk's robe and a bright yellow robe stood by the window, staring at the treacherous sky in the north for a long time.

The sky burned like a fire, rendering the entire land a blood-red color.

A roar faintly came from the void, as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed.

In the middle of the temple, a strong man in armor hurried in and climbed into the top room of the tower.

After the bald man entered the room, the old monk stood in front of the window, did not turn around, but asked in a low voice, "Have you figured it out?" ”

The big man clasped his hands together, bowed down and saluted, and said, "Master, the heavens and the earth are shaking, the demon array in the sky is appearing, and all the beasts are frightened, and even the polar ice bear is fleeing to the south. ”

"The demon star is out, and the blood cloud is appearing, which is very similar to the scene before the cataclysm...... The demon is about to descend, and I am afraid that disaster will come again! The old monk looked at the rolling blood clouds in the northern sky and said with a sigh.

"There are already quite a few demon insects that have invaded from the void rifts and are gathering on the Arctic Ice Sheet. These demon insects are preying on the fish and beasts in the sea, and it seems that they are evolving by sucking flesh and blood......" The big man said in a deep voice, his face solemn.

"Three hundred years ago, the source qi began to recover, and my master became one of the first cultivators on the continent with the Vajra Tantra during the cataclysm, and survived the cataclysm with a group of fellow disciples who were lucky enough to protect a small number of people in the Northland, which made the current Burning Cloud Empire. When I was by my side, I also saw many tragic scenes during the cataclysm......"

"What then? Shall we gather the people and defend the city to resist? The big man asked.

"Doing so is tantamount to suicide......," the old monk shook his head and said, "The invasion of the other world is far more cruel than everyone imagined, and at the beginning, there may be a massacre in all aspects. The three secret realms controlled by Chengtian Temple can only accommodate more than 100,000 people, and the safety of most of the people is still powerless, so everyone should evacuate first......"

"In this case, wouldn't the foundation of the Burning Cloud Empire and the sect be finished?" The big man asked, his face a little shocked. Chengtian Temple rose in the cataclysmic period, has been operating in the northern snow field for nearly two hundred years, there are countless industries under its name, most of the big families in various places are also under the door of Chengtian Temple, and now as a spiritual pillar, King Long Zhi said that he was going to evacuate?

However, the current situation is indeed very critical, and they can't think of a good way to deal with it except to evacuate. This is an unprecedented catastrophe and there is nowhere to hide.

It's just that millions of people in the Burning Cloud Empire have been evacuated, where should they go?

Over the years, Chengtian Temple has purchased a large number of industries in Fengzhou, Yunzhou and Bingzhou, Youzhou, that is, to leave a way out for the future. In addition, in recent decades, the Qin government of Yongzhou has become more and more powerful, and in fact, it is safer in the face of disasters......" said Master Long Zhi.

"Isn't it okay over there in Beiyan?" The big man asked again.

"Fearless, although it is relatively easy for my sect to go to Heishui Beiyan to develop, the strength of Beiyan is still limited, and in the face of this catastrophe of heaven and earth, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect itself...... You still don't look at the problem long enough, and you should usually recite the Prajna Heart Sutra more often instead of focusing on the practice of Vajra Tantra. ”

"Yes, the disciple respects the teachings of the Guru." The fearless man clasped his hands together and said respectfully.
