Chapter 515: Chapter 230: Next Step, Surrender, Set Out for Yang Lu (Part 3)
Judging from their expressions, it was clear they only remembered the previous sentence.
Serving Great Xia, the family will be fine.
"Alright, let’s leave the Beehive matter here for now. Tomorrow night, arrange for someone to notify Yue Feng in Jing Valley, have him bring people over, and escort the captives in batches back to Jing Valley. For now, the Beehive will be guarded by Meng Yi and Hong Tian. You two, no problem?"
"Rest assured, sir, we have no problem!"
Meng Yi and Hong Tian immediately stepped forward and bowed in compliance.
The Beehive only had a bit over a hundred Earth-digging Realm left, over three thousand Logging Realm, more than twenty thousand ordinary people, two at the Cold Resistance Level, plus two fully-staffed Intermediate Hunting Teams of a hundred people. Control shouldn’t be difficult.
This time, over a thousand people came, all members of Intermediate Hunting Teams. In total, twenty teams, each of the eight Cold Resistance Level had one team under them, so actually there were still twelve Intermediate Hunting Team captains that hadn’t arrived.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Chuan continued: "The remaining nine hundred people should temporarily stay here, also under your command, until I give orders."
Hong Tian and Meng Yi bowed again in agreement, their eyes gleaming slightly.
It’s not because they could command nine hundred more people; the current situation of the Beehive required just the two of them with a hundred or so people to control. Leaving nine hundred should not be for the Beehive.
Not for the Beehive, then what could it be for?
Expansion, yet unfinished!
Not only the two of them, but Yuwen Dao, Luo Yuan, and others noticed this point, their eyes lit up, showing some anticipation.
"It should already be daylight outside..."
Xia Chuan murmured softly and continued: "Yuwen Dao, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Zhao Long, Hong Guang, you five come with me to scout out the situation at Yang Lu."
"Yes, sir!"
Of course, we’ll have to bring along two others.
"Chen Yingba, Wu Tianxing, you two should be more familiar with the neighbor Yang Lu than us, you will lead the way."
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing could only bow and agree, standing respectfully.
Pa...
"Thank you, sir!"
Yuwen Dao on the side directly untied the iron hook from Wu Tianxing’s chest; facing Wu Tianxing’s gratitude, he casually waved his hand and said, "Serve Great Xia well in the future, you won’t be mistreated!"
Wu Tianxing’s face was full of gratitude.
While Chen Yingba, thinking of serving Great Xia together with this traitor in the future, looked visibly uncomfortable.
"Alright, no time to lose, let’s set off immediately!"
Xia Chuan ordered, leading seven Cold Resistance Level directly from the top secret passage of the main building to the surface.
...
Just as Xia Chuan had expected earlier, it was indeed daylight outside.
As the eight walked out of the passage, the six from Great Xia except for Chen and Wu all saw the scene outside, and couldn’t help but be somewhat spellbound.
If Redwood Ridge is a maze carved by ice crystals, the perfect blend of snowflakes and natural vegetation;
Then Pingxi Plain is a sea padded with snow, snowy plains like solidified waves, where they saw nothing but vast whiteness. When the wind carried snowflakes whistling past, fine silver sand lifted from the ground, as if the earth was breathing.
"The daytime scenery does have a unique flavor. It’s been more than two months since my breakthrough, and I still can’t get tired of it!"
Others focused on the difference between Pingxi Plain and Redwood Ridge.
Yuan Cheng was not in such a leisurely mood; he was more immersed in the daytime scenery before him, obviously the thrill of breaking through to Cold Resistance Level hasn’t worn off yet.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan and the others smiled.
Among them, Luo Yuan, Zhao Long, and Hong Tian’s breakthrough times were not far from Yuan Cheng’s, so they had something in common with his words.
"I also can’t get enough of it."
Thinking of something, Yuan Cheng laughed heartily:
"Last month, when Yue Feng broke through, he was so excited at seeing daylight that he almost cried. Xu Ning and I couldn’t stop laughing beside him, hahaha..."
......
The group joked with each other, completely unaware that behind them, Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing, hearing their words, had their pupils trembling.
These folks are just recently breakthrough...
Both Chen and Wu simultaneously recalled the Great Xia Leader they encountered in Jing Valley some time ago, Xia Hong, their gazes slightly dazed.
Of the six from Great Xia before them, Hong Tian looked the oldest and presumably the oldest in age. Luo Yuan and Zhao Long seemed nearly thirty.
While the remaining Yuan Cheng, Yuwen Dao, and Xia Chuan were clearly young. Considering the true age of the Cold Resistance level, they wouldn’t be over thirty.
Gulp...
Chen Yingba swallowed suddenly, suppressing the shock in his eyes.
"It’s a pity that this scenery is seen by only a handful of people; these lands ultimately don’t belong to humans!"
Yuwen Dao suddenly expressed a sentiment that interrupted the group.
Upon hearing this, the group fell into thought, and the atmosphere instantly became much more serious.
Indeed, strictly speaking, the Ice Abyss World doesn’t belong to humans.
Cold Beasts and anomalies, whether in terms of space or time, are much broader than humans. Compared to humans, they are evidently more favored by these lands.
"Whether the Ice Abyss belongs to humans depends on people; who would have thought that our Great Xia could come this far? Similarly, the future is unpredictable; perhaps one day, the Ice Abyss will belong to humans!"
"Minister is right; the future is unpredictable."
Yuwen Dao promptly responded, looking more invigorated.
Seeing everyone’s spirits lifted, Xia Chuan then turned to signal Chen and Wu to lead: "Lead the way!"
The two nodded and immediately led the six towards the west.
"Yang Lu’s base is at Yangyuan Peak, located at..."
