Chapter 242 Our World is Changing Beyond Recognition

three days later.

The Arctic ice sheets are becoming bustling.

Not only did various countries send official teams of psychics to search deep into the ice field for the Cold Abyss Icefish.

Even many ordinary people with special abilities came from afar to try to get a piece of the pie.

They may be lone wolves, or they may form a team with familiar friends, or there may even be some teams of superpowers organized by companies.

In just a few days, no less than 50,000 people with special abilities have rushed to the Arctic ice field from all over the world.

It is entirely foreseeable that as time goes by, more and more people with special abilities will gather here.

This extremely cold ice field has truly become a hot spot for gold mining.

At this moment.

An icebreaker is moving slowly in the icy sea, and the sound of ice breaking can be heard continuously.

This is the outer area of ​​the Arctic Circle. There is only a thin layer of sea ice on the sea surface, so icebreakers can pass through unimpeded.

Jackson, wearing an overcoat and holding a bottle of wine in his right hand, stood at the bow and looked into the distance.

On this guy's shoulder stood a pitch-black crow.

An oil company called "Dakota Group" hired a group of people with special abilities to go to the Arctic to pan for gold.

This guy is a member of the Dakota expedition.

It sounds very strange that oil companies hire people with special abilities to go to the Arctic, but it's not surprising at all.

Today is the age of supernatural powers, and many companies are following the historical trend and trying to get involved in the supernatural field.

The Dakota Group is no exception.

Because everyone knows that there is a future only if you embrace your superpowers!!

After the company announced the news, its stock price actually rose slightly.

"Woo~"

The cold wind swept through.

Jackson's hair was blown into a mess.

The crow immediately turned its head and pecked its owner's hair affectionately with its beak, helping its owner to comb his hair neatly.

"Hey guy!"

A rough voice suddenly came from behind.

Jackson knew without looking back that it was the voice of Stevenson, another member of the expedition.

Stevenson was still chattering: "Why are you blowing the cold wind here again? Isn't it better to stay in the cabin and turn on the heater?"

The guy looked ahead and muttered, "It's so dark that I can't see anything."

Jackson ignored the other party.

Stevenson walked over and smiled at the crow: "Hello, Nig!"

"Cuck!"

The crow cried.

Stevenson continued to chatter: "I really don't understand why so many people with special abilities like to raise crows?"

Jackson shrugged. "Because the Great Summer Raven is so cool!"

Stevenson was puzzled: "Even if the Great Summer Raven is very powerful, it wouldn't raise a crow like him, right?"

Jackson gave a reason: "There is a saying that crows are the smartest birds and are more likely to evolve, so the Great Summer Crows raised a large number of crows as pets."

Stevenson sneered: "The reason why the crows of Daxia Lingcrow are so powerful is not because crows are easy to change, but because Daxia Lingcrow is very powerful."

He paused and concluded: "This is just a stupid cult of personality!"

Jackson asked back, "Mr. Ling Crow can easily kill you by sending out a Ling Crow. Is there anything wrong with me worshipping him?"

Stevenson was speechless.

He changed the subject: "Hey, man, I just inquired, the price of Hanyuan Ice Fish in the international market has soared to 1200 million Xia Yuan per fish."

Today in the international market, the Xiayuan has become more popular than the Jameiniyuan.

Especially in the supernatural field, Daxia is the undisputed number one superpower, and Xiayuan is the real hard currency.

Jackson was a little surprised: “I remember it was 800 million Xia Yuan yesterday.”

Stevenson chuckled, "A member of the royal family of a country in the Oil Peninsula happened to awaken the ice ability. This guy spent a lot of money to buy an ice fish and used it to refine his abilities. In one night, he actually increased his spirit value by 2 points."

Jackson was a little shocked: "So many?!"

He suddenly realized, "No wonder the price of ice fish skyrocketed by 400 million Xia Yuan overnight."

Stevenson smiled and said, "The people of Daxia said that the Arctic ice sheet has undergone some changes. Ice fish will become a specialty of the ice sheet. In the future, the Arctic will produce an endless supply of ice fish.

“The initial period is a bonus period, and as the amount of ice fish increases, the price will gradually drop.

"I guess there are more people with special abilities coming to the Arctic to search for ice fish recently with the dream of making a fortune."

Jackson nodded in approval: "That makes sense."

Stevenson felt a little regretful: "If I had known earlier, I would have come to the Arctic alone. Now that I have signed an agreement with the Dakota Group, I will have to pay a large sum of money if I withdraw midway."

Jackson glanced at him and said, "The danger of the Arctic ice field is not low. It is safer to act together as a team. Even if you find the ice fish by yourself, I am afraid you may not be able to bring it back."

He paused and said something more clearly: "Don't forget, the Arctic is a place without laws. Even if you kill someone, no one will care."

Stevenson grinned: "I'm not afraid!"

Jackson shrugged and said nothing more.

Two hours later.

The icebreaker slowly came to a stop.

Because the ice ahead is thicker, the icebreaker has to move at a lower speed.

The leader of the expedition, Arnold, decided that everyone should disembark and continue their journey, which would actually be faster.

Twelve psychics collectively stepped onto the ice and paddled their sleds into the vast ice field.

Soon.

Something different appeared in the snow and wind ahead.

There were only a few scattered low hills, which were cone-shaped and generally no more than five meters high, standing quietly on the ice.

Arnold held his ski poles with both hands, pushed hard against the ice, and quickly slid to the side of a low hill.

He looked up and down the hill and asked in confusion, "Guys, does anyone know what this is?"

Stevenson was well-informed: "Boss, yesterday, a small number of ice humms appeared in the center of the Arctic ice sheet. This morning, they spread to the periphery of the ice sheet. Some people say that these are trees growing in the Arctic."

Arnold was very surprised: "Why would something like this grow on the ice field?"

Stevenson shrugged: "I don't know, maybe the Daxia people know, but they didn't say it."

Arnold nodded: "It's possible! The people of Daxia know more supernatural secrets than any other country in the world."

The captain sighed again: "Our world is changing beyond recognition."

Jackson suddenly interrupted: "What's in this, man?"

Stevenson replied: "Nothing, it's just a big block of ice!"

Arnold put down his right ski pole and punched the hill from a distance of several meters.

"boom!"

Just heard a muffled sound.

The hill collapsed in an instant and turned into a pile of broken ice.

Each piece of ice is irregular in shape, but almost the same size, roughly equivalent to a human head.

This small detail represents the degree of control over the force.

Someone immediately praised: "Beautiful!"

Arnold smiled smugly.

The reason why this man was able to become the captain of the expedition team was because of his strength that was far above the average level.

He looked down at the broken ice and nodded, "There is indeed nothing."

Jackson took a look and muttered in his heart: "Nothing more than that."

He had seen the video of the Great Xia Ghost collapsing a building with one kick, so Arnold's punch was far, far from enough.

Arnold shouted again: "Guys, the nearest ice crack is 160 kilometers away, let's hurry up!"

The team members followed the captain, lined up in a long line, and slid quickly to the front.

after an hour.

The expedition advanced more than a hundred kilometers.

Although they were not far from the ice crack, everyone's faces did not look good.

Because next to a low hill not far away, there was a frozen stiff body lying.

Everyone is acutely aware that the Arctic ice sheet is a dangerous place.

Arnold slid over and waved his hand to send out a force that blew away the snow on the surface of the corpse.

The captain observed carefully for a moment and whispered, "The deceased was a mutant. There are traces of force attack on his head. He must have been murdered."

He sighed again: "There are no signs of fighting around. The murderer is most likely someone the deceased trusted, and he suddenly attacked and killed the victim."

Jackson expressed his opinion: "Maybe the deceased found a cold abyss ice fish. After all, this thing is too valuable."

Another psychic raised a question: "If the murderer was killing people for treasure, why didn't the murderer throw the body into the ice crack? It's so deep there that no one can see the body."

Jackson immediately gave a somewhat far-fetched reason: "The ice crack is still a long way from here, and the murderer was eager to leave and had no time to deal with the body."

Arnold waved his hand to end the discussion: "Okay! Let's go, everyone be careful on the road."

Jackson asked, "Captain, aren't we going to deal with the body first?"

Arnold shook his head: "Let's stay here. Others will be more alert if they see us."

Jackson was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "You are a good person."

Arnold smiled and slid out first.

A group of people set off again.

After half an hour.

Arnold looked down at the positioning instrument and smiled: "The crack is one kilometer away."

at this time.

A skinny mutant moved his ears and said quickly, "I think I heard a cry for help."

The guy pointed in the direction of the ice crack and said, "It came from that crack."

Arnold was startled and frowned: "Let's go and take a look!"

He looked around and reminded, "Remember the body? Don't act rashly before you figure out the situation."

A group of people responded in unison: "Understood!"

Arnold took the lead and led the team to slide forward in a hurry.

After walking a few hundred meters.

The sound became clearer.

"Ah~ Is there anyone outside? I was pushed into a crack and broke my leg. Can someone help me? Help me!"

at this time.

Another voice came from the other side: "Don't go over there... cough... that guy is a murderer... I was injured by him just now..."

Arnold immediately shouted in a low voice: "Stop!"

The current situation was so strange that no one dared to act rashly.

"Cuck!"

The crow on Jackson's shoulder cried.

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Niger, what's wrong?"

next moment.

A very loud crow's cry came down from the high sky.

A black shadow fell from the sky at an extremely high speed like a gust of wind.

Ten meters away from the ice surface, it went from extremely moving to extremely still, and suddenly stopped, just hanging in the air.

This is another crow.

But its presentation is extraordinary.

The whole body is shiny and smooth, and each feather has a faint metallic texture.

Jackson took a look and blurted out: "Mr. Crow's Crow!"
