Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 219: Waste One's Talent on a Petty Job

Within a sealed transparent vessel, a translucent Six Yang Snow Crystal floated within. The Six Yang Snow Crystal was a dangerous Snow Magus of the Ice and Snow Element, owned by a humanoid creature. In winter, it devours large amounts of ice and snow, absorbs the cold energy in the ice and snow, and condenses into crystals in its body. These crystals were called the Six Yang Snow Crystals because the textures in the crystals showed the patterns of the Six Yang Flowers.

The Six Yang Snow Crystal was not Origin Jade, but it was also expensive. After all, an adult Snow Adept only had six snow crystals in his body. They would revolve around the Snow Wizard's Origin Jade like the Sequence Origin Points, which would enhance the ability of the Snow Wizard. The Six Yang Snow Crystal had a wide range of uses. Some jewelry masters would use special methods to split the snow crystals and combine them with gold and silver to make top-grade jewelry. Most of them were made from snowy crystals like Lucy, so that they could be used to make special ammunition.

Allen was following Lucy's instructions and pushing his hands into the sealed box, sending out a high-temperature flame that wrapped itself around the snowy crystal in the middle of the box at the same time. The snow crystals suddenly heated up, and the six central flower-shaped veins lit up one after another, giving rise to traces of hot air. A moment later, the snow crystals began to melt. When Alan withdrew the flames, there were only three round blue ice beads left in the sealed box.

This was the essence of the Six Yang Snow Crystals. They were called Snow Extracts, and they were important materials for the production of the Six Yang Frost Flame Projectile, a level two special projectile. Lucy carefully used her robotic arm to extract the three snowballs and then stored them in a cryogenic chest that was specially designed to store the snowballs. "Sure enough, the three snowballs can be made into at least six Frost Bombs. The next time she hits the Demon General, she will definitely make them look good," she said with a sigh of relief.

"Why did you think of using Frost Flame Bomb instead?" Alan asked.

"As you can see, Blade Demons generally possess heat-resistant and fire-resistant properties in the hot environment of Nether Domain Star. Originally, the Raging Flame Bullet was the most cost-effective of the Class 1 Special Bullets, so its effectiveness was extremely low when used on them." Lucy patted the cryostat and said, "So I asked General Melinda for some ingredients. I was just planning to make a batch of frost condensation bombs. I didn't expect the Queen to have a Six Yang Snow Crystal on board, so I took a piece to make a Frost Burst Bullet. Forget it, I still have to process the ingredients."

After saying that, he floated away like a bird.

Alan shook his head and left the factory with Qianjun. On the playground, Bloy and Wilick were training with the soldiers of the base. Broyle's upper body was bare, and he allowed his wounded body to be blown away by the cold wind. He fought three soldiers on his own. All three of them had weak Origin Energy fluorescence on their bodies. It seemed that they were all at levels 7 or 8.

Broy lowered his center of gravity and the four of them collided with each other like rugby players. The surrounding soldiers cheered them on, but in the end, the three soldiers still fell to the ground for Broy. The Highlanders were very happy as they slapped their chests and let out a loud roar.

Welik's movements were much quieter. He and the soldiers were practicing their fist techniques with protective gear. Few soldiers survived Wilick's three punches, and the last sergeant came to an end. At first, he was able to attack a few more moves. After that, Wilick launched a ferocious attack. He punched three times with one punch, and after a dozen punches, the sergeant was quickly defeated. Wilick seemed to be in high spirits. When he saw Ellen, he immediately shouted, "Boss, have you done two moves? So that we can see the might of Qianjun?"

The soldiers all heckled.

Ellen smiled and said, "Are you sure? Don't let me cut you."

Welik waved his remaining Fire Glove Fist and said, "I deserve to be hacked to death."

"You said that." Alan dragged his saber to the end.

The soldiers immediately burst into applause. Everyone wanted to witness the might of the Thousand Uniforms with their own eyes.

The two of them drew a distance between each other and put on a posture. Alan stood firm like a mountain, his saber raised above his head, and Qianjun's black blade stood motionless like a rock in the wind. Wilick exhaled, and before his breath could disperse, he had already pounced on Alan. The flame gloves vibrated, and blue flames wrapped around the edge of the fist. A seal appeared on Wilick's face and he punched out.

The engraving circuit flickered, and Wilick used a fierce blow. Immediately, the tip of the fist broke through the cold wind, bringing along three streaks of dark energy as if they were shadows, causing the air to explode with an astonishing sound. At the end of the punch, the wind had already pushed Allen's silver hair back.

Qianjun shook and descended in a graceful arc, drawing a standard moon arc. As soon as the saber was released, the sound of wind and thunder rang out. Wilick was shocked to find that his fist wind and dark strength were like a gentle breeze that smashed into a mountain range, causing it to be completely cleaned up. Qianjun slanted like a jade/peak, slashing towards him with an irresistible momentum. Its momentum was dense, and it had the might of a deep abyss covering the sea, causing William to be unable to breathe.

It was as if he had fallen into an uncontrollable nightmare, and his mind was firmly attracted by the dark and light-free blade.

Suddenly, the saber stopped and floated in the air. The blunt edge was less than a centimeter away from Welik's fist. There was a muffled thunderclap between the two of them. Suddenly, a strong airflow blew away from both sides, causing the snow on the playground to silently separate. The crack of snow passed under Welik's feet and only disappeared ten meters away.

Alan tapped on Welik's fist and retracted his heavy saber. "Your punch is too easy to grasp. It's much easier to dodge and attack directly. If I can put an arc into it, it'll give me a headache."

'"I thought I could surprise you this time, but I didn't expect you to lose. Damn it, you didn't even use your ability!" Welik said in a daze.

Alan shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I've taken too much advantage of weapons."

He patted Wilick on the shoulder, and the surrounding soldiers responded with enthusiastic cries of joy. He trained with Wilick, and the soldiers knew that he was good at boxing. He didn't expect that even William would lose his soul after being struck by Qianjun Yi Dao, so he knew that this heavy saber was indeed worthy of his reputation.

"Sergeant Allen." In the crowd, a messenger came out and said, "Colonel Gao Lei told you to look for him in the office."

"I'm coming." Alan nodded.

Smoke filled Gray's office. The Colonel's bear-like body was buried in the smoke. He was smoking a cigar. If he wasn't a colonel, Ellen wondered if he would have been smoked to death by the spicy smoke.

"You're here, Sergeant. Come here quickly." Gao Lei was standing in front of a map. The map was actually a plan drawn on paper. This was far from the stereo model commonly used in the Federation.

Alan walked over and saw the map of the area where the Lightning Fire Base was located.

The Lightning and Fire Base was built at the junction of the Split Wind Cliff and the Luo Lightning Ridge, separated by a withered river. The withered river was not a river, but a riverbed that had been dried up for many years. It was like a ravine in the earth that passed through the foot of the mountain below the base of thunder and fire. It dug out a crown-like shape on this glacial plain covered in ice and snow. Therefore, this area is also known as the Cold Crown Glacier.

"The winter is coming to an end, and the temperature will gradually return to warmer starting next month. Once it warmed up, those damned Saber Demons would probably appear again. Although we weren't affected by the migration tide, we discovered a few new Blade Demon Tribes on the glacier before winter arrived. But they hid in the depths of the glacier, and with the winter snow sealing the road, it was not easy for us to encircle them, so we did not take any action. "Gao Lei lightly tapped the map with his cigar, and a few yellow rings of smoke appeared between the maps." But once winter is over, we have to deal with them, otherwise it would be a great force for them to join forces. "I need you to scout this area. If you discover the Saber Demon Tribe, report back immediately."

Alan nodded.

Gao Lei added, "Originally, you didn't have to deal with this kind of thing, but because of the migration tide, our base has allocated a portion of its troops. Now, there aren't many people who can move in this kind of environment, so "

"We are originally Sirius' soldiers, so we naturally have an obligation to help the base clear up the hidden dangers. Colonel, there's no need to be so polite." Alan said.

Gao Lei laughed and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring you to the warehouse to collect some necessary supplies."

The next day, the four of them left the base. They wore white snowy camouflage suits so that they would not be found in a silver glacial mountain unless they were close. Their reconnaissance location was the Wind Gorge, which was more than a hundred kilometers away from the Lightning and Fire Base. It was a fjord that was naturally eroded by the snow and wind. Among them, there were four ice caves, and there were many places to hide. It was also the most likely place to hide Saber Demons on the Cold Crown Glacier.

There were still a few hiding spots like this, and they were handed over to some of the other officers of the base.

Even though the mission was only a reconnaissance, the four of them didn't dare to be careless and made sufficient preparations. Especially after the saber mo weapon battle in the Alex Plains had been fooled, they didn't dare to let down their guard against the saber mo. Alan naturally brought along Qianjun and planned to let this heavy saber cut open the meat whenever he had the chance. Lucy brought several basic frost bullets, even the six that had just been made yesterday. With the power of the Frost Fierce Bullet, Saber Demons below Level 15 could freeze to death instantly. Even Level 20 Saber Demon Generals would be greatly reduced if they were hit three or four times. Lucy carried all the Six Yang Frost Bombs with her, and even if the four of them collided head-on with a medium-sized tribe of a thousand men, they would still be able to escape unscathed.

As for William and Bloy, apart from their original magical weapons, William also received two portable submachine guns from the warehouse. This way, when dealing with ordinary Saber Demon warriors, they would not have to go forward to fight each other head-on and would just sweep Bloy received one of the Fiery Rifles that had just left the production line, along with some ammunition. With the current Origin Energy of the Highlanders, the Raging Flame Missile could fire more than ten or twenty rounds. If all the firepower was hit, it would be enough for a general-level Saber Demon to drink a pot.

Gao Lei shook his head and laughed after seeing the combination of the four of them and their equipment. Using such strength as a scout messenger was indeed a bit overqualified. If they cooperated properly, they could completely take out the small tribes. As for the large number of medium-sized tribes, even if they couldn't defeat them, they wouldn't have any problems escaping.

During their year on Nether Domain, Allen and the others had grown quite a bit. Gao Lei's evaluation was the most direct proof!
