At the same time, the city gate opened wide, and two torrents of green and blue rushed out. One team was in blue armor, and the other team was in blue clothes, each with a hundred people. They were the Huanguang Army of Huanguang City.
"Welcome to Commander Xueluan!"
Hundreds of people roared in unison!
Then they divided into two teams, and with uniform movements, they saluted the old man wearing a snow cloak with a knife made with his hands across his shoulders.
Commander Xueluan looked serious, waved his hand towards the Huanguang Army, and then flew off the ship.
Everyone on the boat also flew down and followed Commander Xueluan as they walked slowly towards the city.
Liangchen looked at everyone with a calm expression, but the people around him began to talk about it.
"What's happening here?"
"Why didn't the Lord of Huanguang City go out in person to greet Commander Xueluan?"
"That's not right...Why did those Xuan Bao officials follow the commander to the city?"
"What happened?"
"..."
While everyone was talking about it, Commander Xueluan and his hunting team had already walked to the city gate under the ice sword.
As they were about to enter the city, everyone's comments were already surging through the entire square like a torrent.
As if sensing everyone's doubtful gazes, Commander Xueluan suddenly paused, slowly stopped, then slowly turned his head and spoke to the people in the square:
"There was no harvest from this hunt. The Ice Sword Championship is canceled this year!"
The sound was like a loud bell, echoing leisurely, but there was an explosion in the square!
"ah!"
"Cancel!?"
"how so?"
“What do you mean no gain?”
"Have you not been able to collect ten useful treasures during the six months of hunting?"
"..."
"Master, what is going on? Could it be that you have found some incredible treasure and don't want to put it up for auction?" A young monk from the group behind Liangchen asked.
"Yeah, could it be that someone got the first advantage and made a private deal with the hunting team?" Another man beside him also agreed casually.
"Probably not." The old man in front of the two men shook his head thoughtfully, and then continued:
"The ice swords in Huanguang City have won the championship for decades without interruption. This is why people from all over the world come to participate in the auction. Even if the quality of hunting in previous years is not good, they will find a few makeshift treasures and match them with a few items in stock. auction.
If they can directly announce the cancellation today, then something big must have happened, otherwise they would definitely not ruin their own sign! "
"Master, could it be that we encountered some powerful monster and the hunting team suffered heavy losses?" The man next to him guessed again.
"It's not like that." The old man shook his head again, "Although this hunting team looks depressed, there is no sadness in their eyes, and judging from their condition, it doesn't look like they have experienced a heavy killing."
"Then how could it be cancelled..."
"Don't be impatient. We'll find out later." The old man looked calm.
Speculations like this continued one after another, until all the hunting team followed the Phantom Army into the city, and most of the people were still unwilling to leave.
Another stick of incense passed or so.
Everyone still didn't have an accurate answer, but people in twos and threes had already left the square and headed towards the city.
After an hour, there was still no news, and most of the people in the square had dispersed. Only a few people who had come all the way to win the Ice Sword title were still a little unwilling to give up.
Liangchen slowly walked to the ice-carved boat and carefully looked at the behemoth in front of him.
There were only four guards left around the ice boat to remind viewers not to get too close. If anyone approached, they would be shouted at.
The ice boat was made of unknown materials, and its whole body was illuminated by a silvery white light. Although the runes on the boat were not activated, the snowflakes from the sky melted instantly as soon as they fell on it, turning into wisps of blue smoke and dissipating into the air.
The hull of the ship is covered with faint runes and turning and square lines.
These runes are completely different from the Zhongzhou runes, and also very different from the desert runes. The Zhongzhou runes are shaped like birds and beasts, like flowers, delicate and small. The desert runes are shaped like wind and sand, entangled and continuous.
The runes here are as rough as ice fields and as steep as glaciers. They are full of long lines, straight line segments, sharp turns, and the stacking of large blocks, forming a unique charm.
This made him watch with relish and intoxication.
After he circled around and looked up again, he saw only a few dozen people left in the square.
It seemed that the ice sword championship was really cancelled. After some thought, he headed towards the city.
Liangchen did not go back to his residence directly, but headed towards the Dingliuge. After all, the businessman who opened the shop had the best information.
Sure enough, after some inquiring, I finally got the general outline of the matter.
It is said that after this hunting team left the city, they followed the same route as in previous years. However, what was different from previous years was that the snow demon spirit beasts that were usually seen disappeared as if they had caught wind. In March in the ice field, they only hunted A few low-level snow monsters, but nothing else!
I thought that the situation would improve after entering the sea, but surprisingly, the sea monsters in the sea were all the same, and they all disappeared.
The month of March was also like an ice field. Only a few groups of low-level sea monsters were hunted. Although some deep-sea coral gems were found, these harvests were simply negligible compared with previous years. They did not even consume the ice ship in the past six months. Earn it back.
You must know that this ice-carved boat consumes a lot of energy. It consumes hundreds of thousands of spiritual pills every time. In addition to costs in previous years, the hunting team was also able to withdraw certain fees from the surplus as rewards.
But this time, I didn't even get back the travel expenses, let alone the auction items.
Such a result is not only unacceptable to everyone, but also brings great loss to Huanguang City's face, which is why today's scene happened.
Knowing the general situation, Liangchen could only lament his bad luck.
There was no need to stay any longer, so he left Huanguang City directly and headed towards the big city in the center of the ice domain.
It was windy and snowy, and thunderstorms never stopped.
As we go further in, the glacier begins to rise and fall, and some icebergs and snow cliffs stand out on the vast ice sheet like beasts emerging from the earth.
Just like that, it’s January again.
Looking at the map, we are almost at Aurora City.
But knowing that it was difficult to buy the snow jade he wanted in Aurora City, he lost interest in going to the city.
He looked at the map, chose a route that led directly to Floating Shadow City, and rushed away without stopping.
