“Steady, slow down!”

“Get down! Grab the slab!”

Halfway through the journey, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew. The cold wind mixed with ice and snow hitting his face, it was both itchy and painful.

More importantly, everyone was in midair. If they fell, it was a consequence no one wanted to find out.

Fang Ping had already covered the visor of his helmet, but the wind and snow were still drilling in.

Fang Ping thought to himself that he had to buy a new set of armor. What kind of crappy armor cost five silver coins?

After waiting for three to five minutes, the snowstorm slowly lessened.

“Everyone, hurry up!” Elsa shouted from behind.

This place seemed to be an air vent. A strong wind would blow every once in a while.

Fang Ping could understand why the Pegasus Assault Team could be stopped on Blade Peak.

The wind was much weaker against the mountain wall. The Pegasi flying in the air would definitely be affected more. In the end, they had no choice but to take the Blade Peak and be stopped.

Taking advantage of the wind stopping, he increased his speed and climbed up.

Now that he lowered his head, he could no longer see the ground. When he raised his head, he could not see the top of the mountain either. He could only brace himself and continue climbing.

“If you think you can’t hold on, drink the healing potion.”

The ice and snow kept scraping his body. Fang Ping also drank a bottle. At one thousand copper coins per bottle, the climb was really extravagant.

Qing Niao in front was fearless. His special Self-healing ability kept healing his injuries.

The journey took more than an hour. At the end, the weather was good. The wind slowly weakened, and the snowflakes sank. Their vision became clear.

Not far above his head was the top of the mountain. Looking down, he saw white snow rising and falling. Under the sunlight, it was so bright that Fang Ping could not open his eyes.

He glanced at Elsa behind him expressionlessly and continued to climb.

“Grimm, why did you come up so early? Are you slacking off again? Let me tell you, this is a special period. You were caught slacking… Eh, who are you people? Grimm, you betrayed Fire Dragon City.”

“Captain Charles, listen to me.”

“Old Charles?”

As Chen Long spoke, the veteran in silver armor stopped what he was doing. In his hand was a crystal bottle with the cap opened.

With trembling hands, he capped the bottle again. “You! You are! Yes.”

“It’s me, Chen Long.”

“Young… Young Master Chen Long… You’re finally back!”

Fang Ping was still walking up. It was noisy up there. He did not know what had happened.

He lowered his head and took one last look. The sky had actually climbed up.

He took a step and walked to the top of the mountain.

The members of the Elite Team had already lined up. The black-robed Chen Long stood in front of a small wooden hut at the side and spoke to two silver-armored soldiers.

One was Grimm, whom he had just seen at the foot of the mountain, and the other was called Charles. He did not know who it was.

Elsa also stepped on the stone slab and walked to the front of the team. She said to Chen Long, “Chen Long, hurry up. Time is tight.”

“Ok!”

Shen Long shouted and said something to Grimm and Charles. They nodded vigorously and ran away, one on the left and one on the right.

Elsa looked back at everyone and said, “William, you’re in charge of leading the team. When you enter Fire Dragon City, find a place to rest first. William, you can assign the specific arrangements.”

“Okay.”

William agreed without a ripple.

Elsa turned around and left with Chen Long.

“What is this? You don’t even say what you want to do. You really treat us as burdens.”

Someone in front complained softly.

Fang Ping had the same feeling. Elsa left without saying anything. He felt confused.

Hmm… But on second thought, it didn’t seem to be of much use even if he knew. A group of first-level freshmen couldn’t cause any waves.

He did not know what his mission was to enter Fire Dragon City.

William walked to the front of the team. He had the dignity of a leader. Many people in the team were wearing Destruction Sets, and they were all William’s Elf City guards.

Other than being expressionless when facing Andre, William had a faint smile on his face most of the time.

“They have their own missions, and so do we. We’ll enter Fire Dragon City first. When the dust settles, everyone will know what happened during this period of time. Every one of us is a participant. Next, we’ll enter Fire Dragon City first and take a short rest. On the way, be careful to keep a low profile.”

In any case, he would just follow the arrangements and follow the team forward.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he realized that it was quite warm here. The wind was much lighter, and it was no longer dry. Instead, it felt a little humid.

What was going on?

The view at the top of the mountain was wide. Fang Ping could see people farming a little further away.

Along the way, there was wilderness and snow. When they reached the peak, they saw a large patch of green.

Moreover, it looked a little familiar. It should be yellow melon, that powerful crop.

Further away, there were some houses. The area at the top of the mountain was unexpectedly large.

Around the periphery of the mountain was a wall. It was not tall, about two meters.

...

There was only a gap in the sky. Perhaps it was to prevent anyone from being careless and falling from the edge. After all, it was so high that they would definitely die if they fell.

As they followed the team in and passed through the farmland, occasionally, farmers who were working looked over. They did not react and continued farming.

The farmer’s reaction was quite cold. He was expressionless and his movements were mechanical. There was no passion in him.

Even if Fang Ping’s EQ was not high, he could clearly sense that something was wrong here.

Just think about it. A city surrounded by ice and snow, apart from a passageway, was basically isolated from the world. It was like an isolated island, far away from human civilization.

In such an environment, if something happened to the supreme ruler, more problems would definitely arise.

Most of the Humans in this world were kind. Due to the harsh living environment, in order to survive, the evil in many people’s nature was covered up.

But what would happen in this relatively safe environment?

After passing through the farmland, he saw simple houses. There were more people. Many children were squatting on the ground with small baskets hanging from their waists. It was unknown what they were doing.

When the group passed by, not many people looked over. The ones who looked over were especially young, only three to five years old.

What were they doing?

...

Fang Ping could not see clearly either. The person in front of him did not slow down and walked over quickly. Fang Ping could only follow quickly.

On the other hand, the houses by the roadside were made of yellow and pink melon stems covered in mud.

This Fang Ping looked rather familiar. It was similar to when the Razor Sharp Squad attacked the Gnomes’ resting place previously. The Gnomes’ resting place was set up like this.

Looking inside, the house was empty.

Moreover, he looked at a few rooms in a row and they were all like this.

Something must have happened to Fire Dragon City.

After walking past the simple houses made of yellow and pink melon stems, some wooden houses appeared, but they were all empty.

Where did everyone go?

There were no pedestrians on the streets either. It was cold and deserted.
