Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"By the way, are you guys feeling cold?"

The squad leader, who was leading the way, suddenly spoke.

"cold?"

Do you have any?

Chen Xi asked Yang Wei and the others.

The six individuals' strength had already surpassed the realm of hot and cold, but it wasn't that they couldn't feel hot and cold; it was just that it didn't affect them.

For example, Chen Xi, nowadays it's almost the same whether he's soaking in lava or in a bathtub.

"No, I didn't feel any change in temperature."

Yang Wei answered first, and the others said similar things.

"Seriously? Is this targeting me specifically?"

The class monitor grumbled, but didn't think much of it and continued to follow the treasure-hunting rat.

After a while, his movements slowed down noticeably.

He was exhaling breath from his mouth from time to time.

"Chen Xi, don't you guys feel cold?"

"I feel like I'm in a refrigerator that's getting colder and colder, with the temperature getting infinitely close to absolute zero."

Without saying a word, Chen Xi placed the back of her hand on the class monitor's forehead.

So cold!

At first, Chen Xi didn't pay much attention to what the class monitor said about the cold, but now it seems that it was no small matter.

Why is this chill only affecting the class monitor?

Chen Xi is currently in the [Dominator's Domain] state, unable to use [Harvest] to dispel the cold in the class monitor's body, and [Dominance] will only protect himself.

Sudden.

With a loud bang, a ball of golden flame appeared above the squad leader's head, moving with him like a ghost.

"Let me warm you up."

The author was speaking. He used the extraordinary properties of "Ink Has Become Chapters" to provide the class monitor with a portable stove to raise his body temperature.

"Thank you. This fire seems a bit different; it's not just simple heat."

"I feel much less cold now."

"That's right," the author exclaimed proudly, "This is the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame, specially made to ward off the cold!"

"Squad leader, when did you start feeling this cold?"

Chen Xi asked, and the fact that this happened in such a place made him realize that this matter seemed rather unusual.

The class monitor thought carefully for a few seconds:

"This chill probably started after I summoned the Treasure-Hunting Rat, but it wasn't very noticeable at first. Plus, there was a cold area along the way we came up, so I didn't think much of it."

"So, this chill appeared after you used your extraordinary ability?"

"And the more the ability is used, the deeper the chill seems to intensify?"

"Isn't this a bit too strongly related to Chen Xi?"

"You've been keeping [Dominator's Domain] active, and my [Ink Completed Chapter] is also active now, but I haven't felt any so-called chill."

"Unless this is specifically targeting the class monitor."

The author believes it should be unrelated to extraordinary characteristics.

Chen Xi couldn't be 100% sure either, so he could only ask the class monitor to turn off the [Treasure-Hunting Mouse] and try it out.

"Oh my god..."

"It's not cold anymore!"

The squad leader exclaimed in shock.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that this place is really targeting me?"

"No." Chen Xi quickly gave her answer, "It's not aimed at you, but rather to stop you."

"Could the treasure-hunting rat have found something dangerous that could endanger Paradise Lost?"

Thinking this, Chen Xi patted the class monitor on the shoulder:

"Squad leader, it looks like you'll be working hard for a while longer."

The author also assured everyone: "Don't worry about the heating!"

"Okay." The class monitor nodded and summoned the treasure-hunting rat again.

The chill enveloped him once again.

"It's so cold!"

"It seems this chill didn't start from zero, but rather accumulated over time."

"Is that so? Then let's hope the target isn't too far away from us."

Chen Xi murmured.

"It shouldn't be too far. The range of the treasure-hunting rat's perception is limited, so it won't be very far."

Chen Xi nodded and followed behind.

He has not yet fully unleashed the [Dominator's Domain].

Unlike a [domain], this thing doesn't allow you to see everything within its range, whether it's real or not.

Only rudimentary terrain features and biological markers can be seen, and this will not change even as Chen Xi becomes stronger.

If it weren't absolutely necessary, Chen Xi wouldn't activate the six-pointed star magic circle beneath his feet, lest he alert the enemy.

There is no immediate danger here, but that doesn't mean there is no danger.

Judging from the squad leader's condition, danger was already beginning to emerge, but it was different from other safe zones.

......

click!

As the group continued to advance, the chill emanating from the class monitor's body froze half of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame into ice flowers.

"Wow, class monitor, you're radiating a chill!"

The author was astonished by this scene.

It should be noted that its Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame relies on Chen Xi's lifespan, which can be described as an infinitely infused energy mode.

Even so, they were frozen into ice flowers, which means that the coldness in the class monitor's body exceeded the upper limit of the second-level extraordinary characteristic power, and in terms of destructive power, it has begun to touch the third-level range.

Unfortunately, the author's "Stealing Heaven and Earth" can only modify regional rules and cannot target individuals. As a result, his Tier III extraordinary characteristics cannot be utilized by the team that keeps moving forward.

Moreover, apart from the class monitor, Chen Xi and the other four also sensed this chill later on.

However, the chill within their bodies did not increase as quickly as the class monitor's, nor was it related to the use of their own extraordinary abilities.

This made everyone realize that the danger in this safe zone was probably different from other safe zones; it was invisible!

Judging from the current situation, it really does seem to be true that this safe zone is targeting the squad leader!

As for the reason, the only one Chen Xi could think of was that Paradise Lost was preventing the treasure-hunting rats from finding something.

But because of this, he cannot give up.

The only good news that happened during the process was that Truth collected a lot more Truth through the current state of Paradise Lost, and his strength was raised to Level III. At this moment, everyone was at Level III!

"It is indeed a bit heavy!"

"But the treasure-hunting mouse told me it'll be here soon!"

"Judging by the speed at which the cold air is rising, we have plenty of time to find our target!"

The squad leader has a very optimistic personality, even in life-or-death situations.

"The treasure-hunting mouse is accelerating; it looks like it's getting close to its target!"

Chen Xi said in a deep voice that he had learned about the treasure-hunting rat through the class monitor's introduction.

......

After a while, 7/10 of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame above the class monitor's head had been frozen, and the freezing speed was still accelerating.

The good news is that everyone arrived at their destination at that moment.

Contrary to what everyone expected, the destination turned out to be a door.

A door that looks just like the Black Tower's gate!

In terms of color, appearance, size, and even feeling, it was exactly the same as the Black Tower Gate that Chen Xi had passed through when he entered!

The only difference is that this black door has one more thing.

In the very center of the door, there is a white pattern resembling a logo.

And this white pattern was something Chen Xi had seen before.

It was that snake-man!

The snake-man whose identity as the "sun" is hidden in his heart!

Just then, the squad leader suddenly let out a trembling voice filled with fear:

"It's been shipped! Why can't I turn off my treasure-hunting mouse anymore?!"
