The frozen ice layer of Profound Ice Star was extremely solid. Even the soil beneath it had frozen together, harder than steel.
The two aliens dug away with great effort.
However, Bai Xiaowen could tell that neither alien was weak. Both possessed Lord-tier Templates.
If Evolver Lords were Chosen Ones, they possessed divinely granted skills and were inherently stronger than ordinary Lord-tier beings.

"Not good."
