People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

……

...

……

The outer cabin of the small spacecraft on the Starry Sky Train gradually heated up due to the friction in the atmosphere. Yue Yan and Xing seemed a little excited - traveling in space, breaking through the atmosphere after the jump and landing on the surface of the equator.

Yue Yan was quite excited at the moment - it was difficult to describe the feeling in words. After all, driving a spaceship through the atmosphere of an alien planet and searching for a lost ancient civilization... this seemed like a scene that could only appear in science fiction novels, but at this moment they were experiencing it personally.

The spacecraft was getting closer and closer to the ground, and the temperature began to drop rapidly. After passing through the clouds, everyone even saw snowflakes... not just one or two pieces, but a heavy snowfall.

The whole world was bathed in this blizzard.

"There seems to be a city there... a functioning city!"

March pointed to a building in front of them. Without her saying anything, the others had already seen that the building was significantly different from the surrounding ruins. Its area was far larger than a normal prefecture-level city. There were high walls outside, but the inside of the wall was not completely covered by snow. It looked like there should be a complete government team.

This undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm - there were indeed people on the planet, and the humans in Yalilo had not yet become extinct.

"Land nearby."

Dan Heng said calmly:

"We should be there in a while if we walk the rest of the way."

The small spaceship finally landed in a frozen wilderness forest. As soon as the door opened, a dry and cold wind mixed with snow blew in. If it were in normal times, it would definitely make people's faces hurt.

Yue Yan and Xing subconsciously shrank back, but when they really felt the wind, they found that the cold wind, which should have been extremely cold, was only a little chilly...

It's like the night wind at the beginning of autumn, not uncomfortable.

"This is……"

"Surprised, right? It was my first time too."

March seized this rare opportunity to show off, with the corners of his mouth raised almost above his nostrils:

"The power of pioneering destiny blesses every nameless traveler who sets out on this journey, protecting them from the cold winds and heat waves... Although the power of destiny in your bodies is still very small, you can still withstand this low temperature."

Xing understood:

"I see... But didn't you say you were frozen in ice before? Do you feel cold too?"

March cleverly ignored this question.

And Yue Yan... she didn't feel cold at all, she just felt that the wind was a little cool and it felt quite comfortable blowing on her body.

In fact, even Dan Heng was a little confused - was it the blessing of pioneering or the gaze of that Oboros that protected her? After all, her identity was too special...

It should be the former, right?

He thought so.

……

After dragging some dead branches and snow piles to hide the spaceship, everyone began to head towards the city they had seen in the sky earlier. The cold wind blew the snowflakes high up and landed on several people.

The feeling of ice and snow gradually melting into water due to body temperature but not being biting is very strange... Yue Yan even made a snowball with childishness - her hands would not be frozen red like when she made snowballs in the winter before.

However, the road was littered with ruins and no living creatures were to be seen. A feeling of desolation and heaviness gradually grew in the hearts of the four train crew members.

"This place has been dead for a long time."

Dan Heng looked through a hole in a distant house and saw a snow pile that was almost human-shaped. He murmured:

"A hundred years ago."

The further you go, the newer the building ruins become. Although weeds and decay will not grow here, you can still tell when the house was abandoned by the degree of damage. The longer it has been abandoned, the more weathered it is.

suddenly

"careful!"

Yue Yan jumped high, jumped in front of everyone, took out a kitchen knife, and chopped it straight and hard at a "snow pile" on the side of the road.

The next second, a painful roar of some wild beast came from the snow pile. Yue Yan heard the sound and exerted more strength, and the thing finally stopped moving completely.

She confirmed it carefully, then reached out and grabbed the thing. Everyone could see what it was - a snow-white, crystal-like "bird".

It releases temperatures far below the air temperature.

Thanks to its protective color, it was well hidden in the snow pile and was not discovered by everyone. Fortunately, Yue Yan keenly noticed the slight tremor of the snow pile.

"A creature from the Rift?"

It was obviously not the first time that Sanyue and Danheng had dealt with this thing, and they recognized what it was at a glance.

"Well, it seems that the snowstorm on this planet was caused by the planet's core."

Dan Heng frowned. "Such a widespread extreme cold has almost turned the entire planet into frozen soil... and even in a place like this, there are Rift Creatures. The degree of erosion must be quite high..."

"What a pity, it seems there is nothing edible about this thing."

Unlike them, Yue Yan had a more unique perspective on things. She turned the Rift Bird over and pried a hole in its back with a kitchen knife. A thumb-sized, slightly darker crystal popped out, and she said regretfully:

"That's all. It's not enough to eat."

Then, in front of everyone's shocked gaze, he threw the thing into his mouth and started chewing it with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

The sound is quite crisp.

"But the taste is okay, a little sweet...but the quantity is too small. Even if I kill a few dozen, I guess they wouldn't be enough to stir-fry a whole plate. It's not very tasty. It's okay as a snack."

Chapter 26 Sambo Sambokoski

March 7th was a bit surprising:

"No...you can eat all this?"

"I am the ancient beast of dusk."

Yue Yan continued to crunch confidently, saying as he did so, "I've already had a small appetite for not swallowing the moon or the sun, so what's wrong with eating a bird? If this gets out, the Universal Peace Organization will definitely give me a certificate of honor and a bonus or something."

After saying this, he threw away the inedible part in his hand quite uncivilizedly - this part of the creature's corpse began to dissipate the moment it left his hand.

March Seven looked at the gradually dissipating world-ripping creature and felt that what Yue Yan said made a lot of sense. Xing and Dan Heng also felt the same way, so everyone continued to move forward.

You can't use common sense to understand the appetite of the Dusk Beast.jpg

They walked for about ten more minutes, this time much more alert, and noticed something unusual about a snowdrift on an uphill slope...

A very obvious abnormality.

Well, anyone with eyes and not blind can see that there is something wrong with that snow pile.

It was shaking at a very high frequency, probably because the guy inside was shivering from the cold. The snowflakes that had just fallen were shaken off before they could gain a foothold, and they looked quite conspicuous even in this blizzard.

"Let me do it."

Dan Heng volunteered, took out his spear, walked to the snow pile, and aimed it at the center with an expressionless face. He held the spear high up, and snowflakes fell and rubbed against the tip of the spear, splitting it in two, which was enough to show how sharp it was.

And just when he was about to stab...

"Stop!!! Spare his life!"

A voice interrupted his action, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it - the voice came from the snow pile.

Then, a trembling blue-haired creature crawled out from the snow pile in front of everyone's gaze.

He brushed off the snow on his body, bent down shivering, and gave a true French military salute to show his surrender.

"Brothers and sisters, let's discuss this. It's just a small thing... Look at you guys standing here, brandishing swords and guns. How unfriendly and unfriendly..."

As he spoke, he carefully avoided the point of Dan Heng's spear and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Captain Jeppard and I are friends. We wouldn't, wouldn't..."

"Who is Jeppard?"

Sanyue frowned. "And you, why are you hiding in the snow? There are rift monsters everywhere. It's easy to get hurt by mistake."

"Huh? You're not the Iron Guards? Yeah, that's right, you don't seem to be wearing uniforms."

Blue Hair scratched his head, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment:

"Oh, I see. So it's you from the same industry. This is truly... a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple."

He quickly put away his previous frightened look and put on a nonchalant look:

"Hello everyone, my name is Sambo, Sambo Koski, a businessman who occasionally does some small business. I was just in the snow... ahem, looking for something. How about you?"

"Sambo Sambokoski? What a strange name."

Yue Yan scratched his head: "Hello, Sambo Sambo... My name is Yue Yan."

Sambo was still a little unresponsive:

"not me……"

"My name is March."

"My name is Star."

"Dan Heng."

His explanation was interrupted, and Sambo could only helplessly reiterate:

"My name is Sambo Koski, you can just call me Sambo... The extra part is my repetition, the interjection, do you understand?"

"Tsk."

Yue Yan doesn't seem to like this name:

"Honestly, brother, I think Sambo Sambo Koski is much better than your name. Why don't you change your name in the future?"

"No, sister..."

For a moment, Sangbo doubted whether the friend in front of him was from the same school as him - talking with Yue Yan made him feel as if he was back in the tavern, feeling warm and familiar.

"It's okay, just continue."

"Cough cough."

Sambo reorganized his emotions and said seriously:

"It's freezing cold, and you're still wandering around in the wilderness. I guess you're in the same business as me... trying to do some side hustle to earn a little extra cash. I understand. Prices are so high these days, I understand.

As for us, we can say that we have known each other through fighting..."

"Stop, stop, stop, what are you talking about?"

Sanyue quickly interrupted him and questioned:

"We don't even know what you do...how did we become colleagues?"

"Yes, yes."

Yue Yan echoed: "I'm a cook... Can you cook too?"

"Huh? Haha, everyone, please stop teasing me."

Sambo said the joke was meaningless:

"Your joke is too much. What kind of chef would hang around in this icy and snowy place? Or are you going to stew those world-riven creatures in a pot? Don't make such a stupid joke..."

"I really am a cook, why don't you believe it?"

Yue Yan took out her kitchen knife and said to Sang Bo seriously, "We are from somewhere else and we are going to the city ahead."

A cold light flashed, and the tip of the knife reflected the opponent's blue hair.

"Fuck!"

Seeing this, Sangbo's cheerful expression instantly turned unhappy. His legs went weak and he almost knelt down, saying with a sad face:

"Hey, hey! Big sister, you are, you are a cook...I believe you, don't I? Aren't you going to the city ahead? I will lead the way, I will take you away...

"Can you please put the knife down for a moment? Let's talk it out, don't just pull out the knife the moment you disagree...it's ruining the atmosphere!"

"what?"

So, just like that, after a cross-server chat, the train crew inexplicably got a guide.

The man named Sambo, who claimed to be a relic dealer, successfully aroused the vigilance of the entire train crew during the subsequent conversation.

Everyone agreed that this guy was a frivolous, smooth-talking, and full of nonsense, and he looked like a scoundrel - it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person, and it seemed that he had committed some crime and was being hunted by the police.
