Although Qin Hao did not look injured, he could not move if he wanted to recover his strength before the horror movie was over. Because of this, their walking speed was relatively slow. It took them half a day to walk more than 10 kilometers.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a cold wind was blowing. However, they all had extraordinary physiques, so the cold was not a problem for them.
The trees that looked like ice sculptures were becoming increasingly sparse, and the traces that Antonio and the others had left behind had long been covered by the snow. Walking in the desolate land of ice and snow, the three of them seemed even lonelier.
Suddenly, Jin Meiyan stopped, her serious face became a little panicked, and her two big eyes looked around, as if looking for something.
"Jin Meiyan, what happened?" Qin Hao's face was also tense. He understood Jin Meiyan's abilities and knew that Jin Meiyan must have discovered something unusual and that's why she became so panicked.
"Something is wrong. It seems that a creature has entered the Emperor's barrier," she pointed to the branch of a large tree not far to the upper left and said, "It seemed to move in that direction just now."
"Is it the wind that's blowing?" Meng Xiang knew Qin Hao's condition, so he had already unlocked his potential, but no matter how focused he was, he still couldn't detect any unusual movement.
"That must be the movement of a living creature. Any matter that enters the Emperor's barrier cannot escape the green Emperor's eyes." Jin Meiyan tried hard to search with her eyes.
After hearing Jin Meiyan's words, Meng Xiang also became nervous. Under normal circumstances, Jin Meiyan felt that she was a newcomer and rarely interrupted in front of senior people, let alone joked about these things. He unconsciously took a step forward and blocked Qin Hao. The spiritual energy in his body had already been stirring.
"Meng Xiang, don't be nervous. You have to believe in Jin Meiyan's ability." Qin Hao said calmly.
"How can I not be nervous? This is a double level difficulty." Meng Xiang thought to himself.
"Bang" a green gem shot out, and the tree not far away "cracked" and broke into two pieces. Jin Meiyan sighed slightly, turned to Qin Hao and forced a smile, and said awkwardly: "Captain, it seems that I am too worried."
"No, Jin Meiyan, you have to be confident. I have confidence in your abilities. Since you have noticed something unusual, there must be something unreasonable around you." Qin Hao said it with such confidence that even Meng Xiang was moved when he heard it.
Qin Hao is not only a good captain, but also a good teacher. He always guides his companions consciously or unconsciously, trying to make others grow up.
Jin Meiyan originally had a look of admiration on her face, but then her expression changed, and then a green humanoid monster that looked like a toy appeared behind Jin Meiyan.
This is her stand-in—the Green Pope.
The Green Pope stretched his arms to both sides, and green gems shot out one after another.
"Pah, pah, pah..." The ice-carved tree trunks on both sides were all broken. On both sides, nearly 20 meters away from them, the snow was already seeping with blood.
Qin Hao immediately shouted angrily: "It's an invisible enemy, everyone be careful."
Meng Xiang had already shown his spirit sword to block Qin Hao, and Jin Meiyan trembled all over and screamed: "Enemy attacks from all directions, I have to shrink the barrier, Meng Xiang, protect the captain."
The green Hierophant's arms formed into ribbons, moving in a zigzag manner as if they had no bones. Countless green gems shot out in all directions, and powerful explosions sounded within a radius of more than 10 meters centered on them.
In an instant, the snow was scraped apart and blood splattered. When Jin Meiyan stopped attacking, a circle of deep red blood was left on the snow surrounding them.
"Did you finish it?" Meng Xiang asked quickly.
"No, what attacked were strip-shaped tentacles like an octopus. The real body did not appear." Jin Meiyan stared at the surroundings intently, not daring to be careless at all.
"Octopus?" Meng Xiang looked at the snow covering dozens of meters around him, snorted slightly, and said lightly: "I see, to be precise, it should be an octopus thrown onto the land. Jin Meiyan, what is the range of the Green Emperor's Emerald Spray? How powerful is it? I mean the maximum power."
"300 meters. Beyond this distance, the attack power will drop sharply, but the power is comparable to that of a missile." Jin Meiyan didn't understand why Meng Xiang asked this, but Qin Hao was a little surprised and said in an admiring tone: "Meng Xiang, I didn't expect your combat sense to be so sharp. Are you confident? Without the protection of the Emperor's barrier, you have no one to rely on. The enemy is very cunning, and we can't even sense the murderous intent. Its body is far away from us, but its tentacles can extend and attack us. We are already at a disadvantage."
Meng Xiang admired Qin Hao very much because Qin Hao had seen through his plan.
Meng Xiang observed the ground. The snow around him was very soft. Unless the invisible enemy had the ability to fly, or could leave no traces on the snow like Qin Hao, it would be impossible not to see the enemy's footprints on the snow. Adding Jin Meiyan's analogy of the enemy to an octopus, he was sure that the enemy's body was far away from them, but it was very large, with long tentacles, and could attack them from a distance.
The Green Emperor's barrier can resist the enemy's attacks, but Jin Meiyan will always be exhausted, so instead of waiting to die, he decides to take the initiative to attack.
"Jin Meiyan, after you attacked the tentacles, which direction did they retract?"
Jin Meiyan pointed to a high place in the southeast and said, "What do you want to do over there?"
Meng Xiang did not answer, but said seriously: "You protect the captain. Once you see me send a signal, you must launch the most powerful attack. Do you understand?"
Although Jin Meiyan still didn't understand what Meng Xiang was going to do, she saw that Qin Hao also praised Meng Xiang, so she nodded and said, "You have to be careful. I'm not sure there is only one enemy."
"Haha, I'm not sure either." Meng Xiang's answer stunned Jin Meiyan. Qin Hao gently patted Meng Xiang's shoulder and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure either, but there is at least a 70% chance that there is only one enemy, and the enemy must be unable to move, otherwise, Antonio and the others would not have been attacked. Meng Xiang, just go for it."
Meng Xiang gave a sly smile, and unknowingly, his brilliance had attracted Qin Hao's attention, or maybe this was not his intention, but gold will always shine, just like Naruto, who joined the Celestial Team at the same time as Jin Meiyan and Castro, but the difference in status was obvious.
"Bang!" The spiritual energy surged out, and the snow on the ground was blown away. The overflowing spiritual energy of the Kaio-ken with power 5 already surprised Jin Meiyan.
Even though he still had some strength left, Meng Xiang's melee power was already quite strong when he used the Kaio-ken with effect 5. But he still didn't want to show his hidden strength and deliberately restrained his strength.
"Shave!" Meng Xiang rushed out like an arrow. After running out of the Emperor's barrier, he kicked the snow on the ground fiercely. Encouraged by the spiritual energy, the snow on the ground scattered in front of him like fairy flowers.
"Meng Xiang's combat sense and potential may be better than mine... In the near future, he will replace me and become your new captain, Mei Yan, or he will lead you to victory in the King's Battle." Qin Hao murmured.
"Him? This guy is just a newcomer, how could he..." Jin Meiyan looked up at Qin Hao in surprise. Seeing that Qin Hao looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, she stared at the direction where Meng Xiang flew and murmured, "If Meng Xiang really has such amazing potential, then it is really a blessing for our Tianshen team..."
Meng Xiang couldn't hear their conversation. In front of him, in the snow that flew all over the sky due to his kick, the outlines of several thick tentacles as thick as lamp posts were stuck in the snow. Meng Xiang didn't attack, but just avoided the oncoming tentacles, drilled into the gaps, and ran wildly on the ground.
The snow was too thick, and Meng Xiang couldn't even use "shaving", but he concentrated his spiritual energy on the soles of his feet. The nearly one-meter thick snow greatly weakened his resistance, so Meng Xiang's speed was still quite fast.
Every 10 meters or so he walked, he kicked the snow, exposing his invisible tentacles to the flying snowflakes. He then activated the third level of his potential lock and sensed the abnormalities around him. By doing this, he successfully avoided the tentacles that blocked him and walked nearly 200 meters, climbing onto the higher mountains.
More and more tentacles were besieging him, and they brushed past him several times. The tentacles were soft and covered with slippery mucus, which stuck to his clothes, making him look disgusting.
Meng Xiang knew that he was close to the main body. If he went forward, he knew that he might not be able to escape the siege of the tentacles. Each of these invisible tentacles was as thick as a lamp post. Once entangled, Meng Xiang had no confidence that he could break free.
