Spark to a Prairie Fire

At night, Qing Chen led everyone to a sheltered place to rest.

The warriors of the Li and Qing clans dug pits in the snow and buried themselves in it, leaving only a small hole for breathing, using the snow to protect themselves from the cold wind.

Many people think that this will make it even colder. In fact, under the most extreme and harsh conditions, this can actually slow down the loss of body heat.

Moreover, this also helps to evade infrared thermal detection by reconnaissance aircraft.

Qing Chen lay silently in the snow pit, then suddenly said to Li Cheng, "Old Li..."

"Boss, please don't call me Old Li, just call me Li Cheng," Old Li said with a fawning smile, hiding in a snowdrift to Qing Chen's left. "What are your orders?"

Qing Chen said, "Next, we need to hike 159 kilometers within 3 days to reach my destination. We absolutely cannot be late, so you two must work together well. If any comrades fall behind, use tree branches as stretchers to pull them across the snow."

As Old Li and Qing Ling listened, they suddenly realized that this new boss actually had a very clear plan.

159 kilometers, a number that is both exact and incomplete, as if once they reached that place, they would no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the gods, as if they would be safe there.

Qing Ling asked, "Boss, what's there?"

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "I can't say now, you'll know when we get there..."

Old Li laughed and said, "We can't compete with the boss's intelligence. We'll just have to follow his instructions."

Qing Ling: "You old rascal, you're really good at flattering people."

Old Li, enraged in the snow pit, yelled, "How about we have a fight right now? I've disliked you ever since back in A02!"

"Come on!" Qing Ling said.

"You think I'm afraid of you? Bring it on!"

"Hehe, come on over!"

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. Old Li and Qing Ling were about the same age, and neither of them would give in to the other.

After a long period of provocation, neither of them was willing to come out of the snowdrift, since it had been painstakingly built.

Two trash-talking types.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "You two stop arguing. If you're really bored, I'll have Kamiyo Yunzhi and Takahashi Izumiike perform a talent for you, how about that? Old Li, I'll have Kamiyo Yunzhi kowtow to you three times on behalf of Qing Ling. Qing Ling, I'll have Takahashi Izumiike kowtow to you three times on behalf of Old Li. Let's leave it at that and go to sleep."

Old Li: "..."

Qing Ling: "..."

They suddenly realized that this new boss's thought process seemed a little off!

Not far away, Kamiyo Yunzhi and Takahashi Izumiike, who were lying motionless in the snow pit, felt even more devastated upon hearing this. How could they, as officers of the Kamishiro Corporation, have fallen to such a state?

The soldiers hiding in the snow, though cold, felt extremely happy listening to this unrestrained chatter.

During my time at A02 Base, I had to be careful even when I farted, and I dared not say anything more.

Even though everyone is lying in the snow, they are all having a great time talking about whatever they want.

This is the meaning of freedom.

However, at that moment, Qing Chen suddenly held his breath and said, "Silence."

Everyone was stunned.

A few minutes later, Qing Chen said, "There's engine noise in the sky; a reconnaissance plane must have just passed by."

Old Li and Qing Ling were stunned. Reconnaissance planes usually fly at altitudes above 3,000 meters. How could they hear the engine sound at this altitude? They must be cheating!

However, at this moment, they unconditionally trusted Qing Chen.

Qing Ling hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Sir, can we really evade those two Field Division? There seems to be a Forbidden Zone to the south. Is it possible for us to pass through that Forbidden Zone? Are you planning to use this method to avoid the Field Division?"

At this moment, Qing Chen said something that shocked the two of them, "No need to hide."

"Huh?" Old Li nearly sat up in the snow pit in shock. "Boss, are we just going to fight them to the death?"

"No," Qing Chen said with a smile, recalling what he had once said to Xiao Zhenji. "I have a master."

"Huh?" Old Li and Qing Ling were even more confused.

Li Shutong once told Qing Chen that he would take him on the longest road of all the shortcuts in the world.

But the master didn't say at the time that this path is never lonely.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "After we're free, would you like to do something with me?"

Old Li and Qing Ling both fell silent for a moment, unsure of what the boss meant.

How come they're already thinking about what to do after they're out of trouble...?

Qing Ling asked, "Boss, what do you want to do?"

Qing Chen laughed and said, "Spark to a Prairie Fire."

In the darkness, in Forbidden Zone No. 138, 60 kilometers away from the Field Division camp, someone was walking deeper into the area while smearing pollen from the wind lily on their body.

This Fengjun flower is a secret recipe of the fire pit. Few people know that if you apply it, you will not be attacked by wild beasts, insects, or plants when you enter Forbidden Zone, as long as you do not break the rules.

As the Great Elder walked deeper into the Forbidden Zone, he muttered to himself, "I just came here to help, and now that old bastard Li Shutong has disappeared, leaving me here to do all the hard labor! Is there no justice in this world?!"

"From now on, any knights who come to the hearth will not be allowed to drink our barley wine! Not a single drop!"

"And don't even think about seeing our fire pit Goddess!"

The Great Elder muttered to himself as he quietly observed the scene.

Through the woods, he saw a herd of blue-furred Kui cattle resting on the ground.

If anyone were to discuss familiarity with Forbidden Zone, Huotang would claim to be third, and absolutely no one would dare to claim to be second, not even Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency.

As for first place, it's naturally Li Shutong...

The Great Elder was aware of this.

At this moment, the Great Elder hid to the side and silently counted. "One, two... one hundred and forty, I don't know if that's enough."

As they were talking, a Kui Ox suddenly opened its eyes, which were as big as a bronze pot, and looked at the Great Elder.

Suddenly, the Great Elder took out a small bottle from his brown crossbody bag and poured the urine of the mating goddess cow inside onto the ground.

The next moment, the previously quiet Kui Ox all became excited.

They stared intently at the Great Elder, panting heavily.

The Great Elder turned and ran off, bottle in hand, yelling, "What terrible things did I do in my past life to deserve this punishment from the gods, being forced to meet a knight in this life!"

The Great Elder ran faster and faster, not daring to stop for a moment.

230 kilometers south of Qing Chen and his group, a Field Division had just established an advance base to build a supply line for their continued northward advance.

The base was brightly lit and heavily guarded.

Hundreds of mechanical hunting dogs patrolled the area around the military camp, following pre-set routes to complete their night watch patrols.

Suddenly, a faint smell, like the stench of urine, drifted from the snowfield upwind, and passed by in a flash.

The mechanical hounds stopped and stood still, sniffing something.

However, the scent was not aggressive, nor was it a scent sequence that their program required them to be wary of. Soon, the mechanical hounds returned to normal.

In the command tent, the Field Division's operations staff were busy organizing data: holographic terrain sand table, replay of the fleet attack, assessment of Azure Falcon's combat capabilities, and developing an operational system to counter Azure Falcon.

A war is complex and systematic.

The Field Division was ordered to encircle and annihilate all living humans on the northern snowfields. At first, they thought they were prisoners who had escaped from A02 Base, but now it seems that the higher-ups were holding back and had not told them the truth at all.

Otherwise, why would something like Azure Falcon end up here?!

But at that moment, thunderous drumbeats and galloping hooves suddenly resounded across the snowfield.

Inside the command tent, someone frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why is there drumming here?"

Someone went to check the edge of the military camp, but in the heavy snow, nothing could be seen in the darkness outside the camp.

But in the next moment, a grumpy old man carrying a bottle suddenly appeared, moving so fast that he left a blur in the naked eye, and headed straight for the Field Division camp!

Furthermore, behind this old geezer are 147 crazed Kui Ox who somehow escaped from the Forbidden Zone!

The officer on night watch roared, "Fire! Don't let the Kui Ox charge the camp!"

The army of the Age of Gods is not stupid; they are elite regular troops!

In this military camp, the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles are always on high alert. If this round of concentrated fire is unleashed, even a demigod would be riddled with holes!

When the old barbarian saw that the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle's matrix guns were now turned towards him, he panicked and roared, "Attack!" while continuing his charge.

At that very moment, atop a distant mountain peak, Lin Xiaoxiao sat in the snow with his eyes closed, Ye Wan quietly watching over him. "The boss said, don't force yourself if you can't do it."

Lin Xiaoxiao with her eyes closed, "You know, I've never tried this kind of method before, but the thought of these people locking Qing Chen in the pigsty makes me so angry. That boy has already suffered so much, how can he not have a smooth life?"

As he spoke, he suddenly touched his forehead lightly with his hand, and actually drew a bloody gash on it.

Lin Xiaoxiao calmly said, "Nightmare!"

These two words echoed like rolling thunder in the void.

Suddenly, two streams of bloody tears flowed from the corners of Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes!

In an instant, the old barbarian, who was charging into battle, saw the officer in the opposite camp who had just given the order close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

The sound of the matrix-style gun muzzle rotating on the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle stopped.

The drone, which was taking off, fell to the ground because the controller who was connected to the neural network suddenly fell asleep.

Lin Xiaoxiao forcibly used the Nightmare technique to put nearly half of the soldiers in the entire Field Division to sleep for a second!

A second is enough to change a lot of things.

It only takes one second!

The next moment, the officer woke up with a start and got up. The soldiers in the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle also woke up and hurriedly continued to operate it.

However, the Great Elder the hearth burst into laughter. "One second is enough!"

But then he strode across the snowfield, reached into his waist and drew a black knife, raising it diagonally and slashing down!

"Open it for me!" the Great Elder roared.

Suddenly, a magnificent blade aura, over ten feet long, emerged from the black blade, cleaving open the military camp's defensive fortifications and creating a one-meter-deep crack in the ground!

The domineering power of this strike was like the snow on the sacred mountain of the fire pit suddenly collapsing, rolling down to form a massive avalanche.

In the snowy northern plains, Qing Chen, lying in an icy hollow, suddenly said, "Let me teach you a song."

"Huh?" Qing Ling had no idea what her new boss was up to.

Qing Chen sang. "Arise, ye prisoners of hunger and cold."

"Arise, oh wolves of the world!"

My blood is boiling with passion.

"Fight for the truth."

There has never been a savior.

"It doesn't rely on gods or emperors."
