In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

"You guys wait here, I'll go in and check things out."

Looking at these towering peaks, Jiang Qingyue was deeply moved. This place was clearly a place of outstanding natural beauty, a paradise on earth, and abundant energy.

Even a wild grass, after countless years of nourishment, can become a divine herb, so this place must be full of treasures.

However, she felt she should play it safe. What if the Cloud Emperor of District 93 was a cunning old fox who had buried a top-tier expert in his home? Wouldn't that mean they'd all be lost?

"I'll go." Zhang Meng pressed down on Jiang Qingyue's shoulder.

She is much stronger than Jiang Qingyue and knows the fighting style of District 93 better. If there is any danger, she is more likely to escape.

"No." Jiang Qingyue refused her offer. "Believe me, even if everyone in the world dies, I won't."

Zhang Meng stared at her intently: "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed. Senior, you stay here with them. No matter what happens inside, as long as I don't come out on my own, you don't need to worry about it."

"If the fighting spreads here, you can lead them to evacuate as needed. Remember, as long as you are all safe, I will definitely be safe."

Aside from those among the hair-chain gems who haven't yet regained their physical bodies, only Yan Bao, Xiao Huihui, and Old Wang with twin ponytails knew about Jiang Qingyue's ability to enter the dual-color small world.

They knew this was Jiang Qingyue's biggest trump card, and no one dared to reveal it, not even Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng took a deep breath: "Jiang Qingyue, you are very important, more important than any treasure. You know the consequences of going too far, right?"

"I know," Jiang Qingyue repeated. "I said, as long as you are safe and not taken hostage by others to threaten me, I won't die."

"100% sure he won't die?"

"right."

Zhang Meng didn't know where she got such confidence from, but she knew that asking any more questions would involve Jiang Qingyue's core secrets.

Even if she were all alone, let alone in this crowded place, she would never ask.

She reached out and patted Jiang Qingyue's shoulder. "Go ahead and don't worry. As long as I, Zhang Meng, am alive, they'll be fine."

Jiang Qingyue kissed Yan Bao: "I can't take you this time. You'd better stay with Senior Dao Wang and don't be naughty, understand?"

He hugged Little Grey again: "Don't always risk your life. You're fast, so when you encounter danger, focus on avoiding it. Don't risk rescuing people if you're not sure you can do it. Don't think that I'll feel bad if they get hurt; I'll feel bad if you get hurt too."

Little Grey's eyes were red, and it rubbed against her shoulder affectionately.

Seeing her gaze shift towards him, Wang Defa, with his pigtails, opened his front legs, ready to receive a hug.

He received a glare from Jiang Qingyue: "What are you hugging? Are you a cub too?"

He then took out a Plant Doctor Essence in a rather irritable manner and gave one to each person, saying, "This is for your emergency life-saving use."

They also gave a lot of Plant Doctor essence to Little Grey Grey and Wang Defa.

"They both have their own space, so even if something happens and the enemy takes over the quantum computer, they can't take it away. I've put all the extra resources on them."

"If an emergency occurs and the only option is to evacuate separately, Little Grey and Wang Defa, who are carrying a lot of resources, should try to be in different teams."

After giving the instructions, I still felt a little uneasy, so I looked around in my space again. I couldn't find a suitable small pocket, so I simply took a scarf, folded it into the shape of a crossbody bag, put a few Plant Doctor Essences inside, and tied it around Yan Bao's neck.

He then gave even more Plant Doctor Essence to Zhang Meng, the strongest among them: "Senior, although this stuff is incredibly effective, we don't lack it. You're the main combat force, so use it if you get injured, don't be too stingy."

Zhang Meng accepted it: "Go ahead without worry. Contact me via the personal terminal if anything happens."

Jiang Qingyue nodded emphatically and handed Yan Bao, whom she was reluctant to part with, into Zhang Meng's arms.

He took one last look at the team that had been gradually assembled along the way, then turned and plunged into the giant peak forest ahead.

……

So comfortable.

There seems to be an invisible boundary here. Outside the boundary, everything is ordinary, but inside, the energy is extremely concentrated, so concentrated that the air feels thicker.

In addition, Jiang Qingyue also sensed something that most people don't need: resentment.

Upon entering, Jiang Qingyue was startled by the oppressive atmosphere of resentment. Compared to the resentment in her hometown, this place was nothing.

Jiang Qingyue was filled with regret; if only she had come here sooner.

This place is practically an energy pool tailor-made for her.

While she was still observing, Ye Mian couldn't contain himself any longer and gently scratched her head with a flower petal.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Qingyue reached out to reassure him, "It's not too late to absorb it after you've figured out the specifics."

Upon hearing this, the petals of the night-crowned diadem collapsed.

It is born from resentment and uses resentment as energy to become stronger. This place is much more attractive to it than to Jiang Qing.

"Sweetheart, just bear with it a little longer. Anyway, resentment won't run away; it'll all be ours eventually."

"Besides, the resentment is already soaring; if we were to be attacked again, wouldn't that resentment grow even more rampant?"

"Come on, I'll entrust my back to you."

Night Crown twitched its large flower, its stamens tightened, and its leaves straightened, indicating that it was ready for battle at any moment.

Jiang Qingyue was quite confident in it, and without having to worry about her back, she moved forward much faster.

As we traversed the jungle, we saw nothing particularly remarkable except for small, vulnerable creatures.

To avoid alerting the enemy, she refrained from taking action.

After walking for several more hours, we still hadn't encountered anything.

Is it up there?

Without hesitation, Jiang Qingyue abandoned the foot of the mountain and found a towering peak that reached into the clouds, beginning to slowly explore the mountainside.

Not long after we climbed up, we saw three bamboo spirits listlessly coming down.

Jiang Qingyue quickly dodged to the side.

I wanted to hear some news, but the three bamboo spirits didn't say a word.

How can I gather information if you don't speak?

I assessed his aura; he's a formidable opponent.

She abandoned the Snow Concealment Bow and took out a dagger. This was a special item that Zhao Mingyue had given her as a reward when she was back in her hometown, but she had never used it.

It's quite handy for surprise attacks now.

puff.

The dagger sliced ​​across the necks of the two bamboo spirits, then spun back into Jiang Qingyue's hand.

Looking at the two fallen bamboo spirit corpses, Jiang Qingyue gripped the neck of the last bamboo spirit, twirling a dagger in her other hand: "Be obedient, and I'll let you go after you've finished asking your questions."

The bamboo spirit looked at her mockingly, and the next moment, without any hesitation, it self-destructed.

With a loud bang.

"Damn it!" Jiang Qingyue cursed under his breath, "He didn't even say a word before he was going to die."

This guy didn't have much energy left, and his strength was much lower than Jiang Qingyue's. Even if he self-destructed, it would cause almost no damage to Jiang Qingyue; it would just make a commotion.

It's no longer possible to sneak in.

Jiang Qingyue took away the quantum computer, and also didn't let go of the corpses of the two bamboo spirits. These things are sweet and nutritious, and are also good cultivation resources.

Looking at the mountain peak, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to go up to the top to take a look.

As the original base of District 93, and with the strongest native inhabitants of District 93, District 93, like District 8, has many creatures within its territory.

Just like in District 8, there are all kinds of creatures, from microorganisms and insects to humans, but the humans are undoubtedly the true rulers.

In District 93, the Cloud race holds a position equivalent to that of the Human race in District 8.

Only by finding these clouds can we find the treasure, and only then can we use them as hostages to negotiate with the Cloud Emperor.

"Run! Run!"

Countless creatures fled down from the mountaintop, some on foot, others flying.

Even the nearby mountain peaks were in chaos.

"Night Crown, make your move."

The enormous black clematis detached from Jiang Qingyue's body, resembling a carnivorous flower, and devoured several fleeing creatures in one go.

Jiang Qingyue unleashed several ice arrows simultaneously.

Whether they run or fly, they all die when they come.

Someone noticed Jiang Qingyue's face: "Are you a human from the Eighth District? Or a humanoid?"

"No matter who you are, we've never left Area 93. We're just doing logistical work. The war in front of us has nothing to do with us."

"Your strength is formidable, so why the need for such ruthless slaughter?"

Jiang Qingyue remained unfazed and sent this guy who was trying to reason away with a single arrow.

Does not personally committing the act absolve one of guilt?

joke!

The resources they produced enriched the powerful, and the weapons they forged became the weapons of the powerful, ultimately falling upon the people of District 8.

How can one claim innocence?

Some of the corpses rolled down the mountain, but most of them stopped halfway up the mountain and piled up like a mountain. Unfortunately, most of them turned into broken ice.

Jiang Qingyue was heartbroken.

"Looks like I'll have to find a more ordinary weapon from now on, one that can at least leave the corpses behind. These are all spoils of war; it would be a shame to waste them."

call out!

While Jiang Qingyue and Ye Mian were wreaking havoc, a small cloud quietly planned to drift to another peak.

Shot by Jiang Qingyue's arrow, it turned into a pile of shattered ice before it even hit the ground.

A person and a flower blocked the way halfway up the mountain, preparing to kill.

Only when there were no more creatures escaping did Jiang Qingyue reach the true summit.

This place is enormous; the mountaintop has been leveled, and countless palaces have been built there, even spiritual fields have been created.

"I never imagined that a group of clouds could actually farm."

Fearing that a fight would destroy everything, Jiang Qingyue quickly instructed, "Yemian, pull them all out."

While Ye Mian was extracting the spiritual herbs, Jiang Qingyue searched the entire mountaintop.

There were no extra clouds, nor any powerful beings, but many cages were discovered, containing all sorts of creatures.

There was even a lump of iron in the fifth experimental zone.

The creatures in these cages constantly emanate resentment.

"Great visuals."

Jiang Qingyue gripped the Snow Concealment Bow in her left hand, remaining vigilant, while taking out her phone with her right hand to start filming.

Photos and videos were taken from every angle, leaving no blind spots.

It's important to know that District 93 and District 5 are two of the top powers in the alliance.

It would be interesting if the Emperor of District 5 saw his people being imprisoned here like dogs.

Not only the iron lumps in District 5, Jiang Qingyue photographed all the imprisoned races.

The muddier the water, the better.

After taking the picture and throwing the phone back into the dual-color miniature world, Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, but didn't kill them. Not only did she not kill them, she also reinforced the cages, hoping to sell them for a good price later.

Especially the member of the tribe in District 5, Jiang Qingyue was afraid it would self-destruct like the bamboo spirit, so he pretended to reassure it: "Don't die! Please don't die! I'm good friends with your Iron Emperor. As long as you hold on until the Iron Emperor arrives, you'll be saved!"

"You're asking for death!" A loud shout came from the sky.

Jiang Qingyue sensed the presence and knew that killing it would likely require a life-or-death struggle.

As luck would have it, Jiang Qingyue was least afraid of risking her life.

Just as he was about to draw his bow, he sensed another aura, infinitely more powerful, emanating from the sky as if it had just awakened.

"⺾"

Without saying a word, he took off running.

"Night Crown, let's go!"

Before they could finish pulling them out, Ye Mian used his vines to sweep away all the medicinal herbs he had pulled up, instantly returning to Jiang Qingyue's body.

After storing the elixir in his small world, Jiang Qingyue plunged into the dense forest.

She sensed that the Night Crown had grown back into her flesh and blood, becoming one with her, before she flashed into the two-colored miniature world.

That's why she dared to bring Ye Mian along.

She didn't know why, but no one except herself could enter the dual-colored small world, except for Ye Mian. Even when Ye Mian was separated from her, he couldn't enter; he had to be embedded in her flesh and blood to enter.

"Phew." Jiang Qingyue exhaled a breath of stale air and patted her chest in lingering fear.

"As expected, Emperor Yun actually held back; there are still powerful figures in his hometown."

"Luckily, I ran fast."

After calming her racing heart, Jiang Qingyue began cultivating as if nothing had happened.

As she circulated her cultivation technique, energy surged, and the two energies from the icy world and the dark world rapidly entered her body.

Night Crown wasn't idle either; it ran to the dark world and began to inhale and exhale large gulps of resentment.

After taking a few bites, they would shake the flower stamens, looking extremely happy.

Previously, its owner wouldn't let it swallow so much, because this two-colored little world wasn't very big, and the energy inside was limited; if it swallowed too much, it would run out.

Now there's no need to worry. No matter how much you swallow, once you get out, the endless resentment outside will quickly replenish your supplies.

One flower per person, that's quite a luxury.

outside.

The terrifying aura above the sky receded like a tide.

Only one huge cloud remained.

It roared in fury, "Where is he? I clearly saw him just now, where did he go?"

After inspecting the battle traces at the mountain where the incident occurred, the cloud began a frantic search.

A thief broke into our house, and he's quite strong. If we don't find him, the Emperor will surely take his head when he returns.

Outside the old base of District 93.

Zhang Meng led everyone to hide here. At first, Jiang Qingyue made very little noise, and no one noticed her until the bamboo spirit self-destructed.

"It hasn't been long, and something bad has already happened," Zhao Mingyue murmured.

Long Jiuxing and the others also looked very serious. If Jiang Qingyue was confident in going it alone, then she must have some trump cards up her sleeve.

But they've already caused such a commotion right after entering; do they have enough trump cards up their sleeve?

"Wait a little longer," Zhang Meng said. "No one is allowed to make a move without my order."

"Huh, it's that guy." Wang Defa, with his twin ponytails, was quite surprised when he saw the cloud appear.

He was very familiar with this cloud; it was the leader of District 93 during the All-Heavens Arena Tournament, the guy who ranked first on the District 93's list of the top 100 civilians.

I never expected to find it here.

Not only him, but Yan Bao, who had been to the battlefield of the heavens, also recognized the cloud: "It feels much stronger than it did in the arena of the heavens."

The human and the rabbit exchanged a glance.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng asked, "Do you know them?"

Yan Bao quickly explained, "During the All-Heavens Arena Tournament, the leader of the local people in District 93 was ranked first among the local people in District 93. Before it was its turn to compete, it was killed by the master and several other leaders."

"Then it should be fine." Zhang Meng and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

This is the timeline of the previous life. Although this cloud had cultivated for 20 years longer than Jiang Qingyue in the present life, Jiang Qingyue is growing much faster in this life.

Even if you can't win, escaping won't be a problem.

What truly alarmed Zhang Meng wasn't the cloud that was yelling and shouting, but rather the unusual movement in the sky just now.

Others might not be able to sense it from a distance, but it couldn't be hidden from her.

I just don't know why this strange movement came so quickly and disappeared just as fast.
