Chapter 661: The wind and snow seem to have no signs of stopping! (Please subscribe)

In his rage, Ivan was determined to settle internal affairs before dealing with external threats, issuing several emergency decrees in succession, ordering several major group armies directly under the Imperial Court, stationed around the Holy Capital and on the main roads leading to the North, to move out immediately, ensuring they would encircle and annihilate the rebel army before it threatened the Holy Capital.

However, this key order encountered inexplicable obstacles and delays during the transmission process.

The interior of the Imperial Palace seemed to have an invisible net; someone was secretly sabotaging, causing the orders to mobilize troops to be either misinterpreted or transmitted slowly, and even commanders of several key units claimed they had not received clear orders to attack.

Ivan felt as if he had fallen into a net that was tightening, with internal political orders not reaching their destination and nobles being disloyal, and external rebel armies moving north and strong enemies pressing on the border, truly falling into a desperate situation of internal and external troubles.

And the mastermind behind all this chaos, Li Chen, seemed to be an outsider at this moment, having already embarked on his journey of exploration.

He lit the chess piece of Xie Ergai, watched it ignite a raging fire within the Da Luo Dynasty, and then turned around gracefully, casting his gaze toward the more mysterious distance.

He took Ye Kajielinna, Anastasia, Darya, and Katrilan, who served as a guide—a group of five—leaving the vortex of power struggle and heading toward the mysterious tribe in the extremely cold land of the far north mentioned by Katrilan.

According to Katrilan, her tribe had a long history, the clansmen had special bloodlines, and powerful wizards were often born, which made Li Chen very interested.

He associated this with the fact that Katrilan had sensed the "natural spiritual charm" he simulated, and suspected whether this so-called special bloodline was related to the Elf race among the Myriad Worlds?

Perhaps this could provide some clues for his future opening of the passage to the Myriad Worlds.

The Da Luo Dynasty had a vast territory, but its infrastructure was far less developed than the Tian Ce Dynasty, and there was no orbital train network covering the whole country.

On the endless snowfields of the North, the main means of transportation was a cold-resistant monster called the "Snow Camel Beast."

This monster had a huge body like an elephant, thick limbs, and wide, boat-like feet.

It could walk easily on deep snow, and its back was covered with long, thick, felt-like white fur, which could effectively resist the extreme cold. Li Chen's group of five rode three Snow Camel Beasts.

Katrilan, as the guide, rode one alone in the front to lead the way. Anastasia and Darya shared one, and the Master Wu Erge played by Li Chen shared one with Lady Ye Kajielinna.

Regarding this arrangement, Anastasia and Darya were initially confused, whispering privately why it was Ye Kajielinna sharing with the Master.

Hearing this, Katrilan explained faintly: "Sister Ye Kajielinna's body is relatively delicate, not as cold-resistant as those of us who have lived in the North for years. The Master sharing with her is to better protect her with his own aura and resist the wind and cold."

The two women then suddenly realized, and their respect for "Master Wu Erge's" thoughtfulness and power increased a bit more, not knowing that this was actually a natural manifestation of the closer relationship between Ye Kajielinna and Li Chen.

Along the way, Katrilan introduced the terrain and tribal legends from time to time: "Look at the exposed black rock layer over there. Legend says it was transformed from the bones of ancient giant beasts. Passing through the ice fir forest in front that we call the 'Silent Forest,' we will officially enter the tribe's traditional hunting ground."

Her voice sounded exceptionally clear on the empty snowfield.

However, the weather in the North changes as it pleases.

It was a clear sky just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered by lead-gray dark clouds, and a violent wind rolled up goose-feather snow, whistling as it came. Visibility dropped sharply, and the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees.

The power of nature was revealed at this moment, and the huge wind and snow made it impossible to move an inch.

The group had to interrupt their journey and look for a place to hide.

Fortunately, Katrilan, relying on her familiarity with the terrain, quickly found a leeward, huge ice cave.

Everyone hurried into the ice cave, pulled the three exhausted Snow Camel Beasts to the entrance of the cave, let their huge bodies lie down, and used thick fur to block part of the wind, snow, and cold for the cave. ===== CHAPTER 662 =====
