“What!”

“Sheffield is the big shot in the industry who published the location of a new planet in a scientific journal!”

As soon as he announced his name, someone immediately recognized him.

Recently, other than the progress of the construction of the spaceship, the other thing that had attracted the most attention was the target planet that humans had decided on.

At the moment, there were several identified planets that might be able to support life. One of them was described by Sheffield in a scientific journal.

However, when it came to Western faces, many Asians were not able to tell them apart. They looked almost the same if one did not look too closely, and it was easy to get confused.

“Sheffield has always been someone from the academic world. When did he reach such a high cultivation level?” someone asked in shock.

“Isn’t it just like those mutant humans? Without perseverance, patience, and the desire to cultivate martial arts, one can only fall into the temptation of power and be controlled by an unknown existence.”

The person beside him explained the reason why Sheffield had turned from an ordinary person to a martial arts expert.

It was no longer the time when mutant creatures first appeared. They were no longer mysterious existences, and most people knew what was going on.

This was similar to the evil techniques in martial arts. One could quickly progress in their martial arts cultivation, but the consequences of accepting the mutation were even more serious. One’s will would no longer be independent, and they would be controlled by an unknown existence.

“Blue-haired and white-eyed, these must be the parts of their bodies that have mutated!” Someone quickly realized the difference between these four people and ordinary Westerners.

The whispers around him reached Sheffield’s ears, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

The reason why he had been invited to join the Ice Valley was because of the reputation and research results he had accumulated in the aerospace industry. That was why he had been chosen by a great existence.

Now, this identity was the strongest reason he could rely on to get involved in the negotiations. It was already impressive enough for him to be remembered by the young man in front of him.

The reason was that after the young man rose up, not only did he suppress the other countries on the entire blue planet, but he also crushed the first probe from the black tide creatures, and forced the terrifying huge eye from Mount Everest to escape, and so on.

This had already exceeded the scope of what a human could do. It was comparable to the level of those mysterious gods.

When faced with a world-shattering disaster, relying on God to save the world was something that many Westerners agreed with. Therefore, Chen Yiming was very popular in the European Union and was admired by countless people.

“So it’s an expert with a reputation!”

Chen Yiming muttered. His voice was half-hearted and cold.

“But since you’re willing to become the claws for some mysterious existence, what’s the use of keeping you alive?”

As soon as he finished speaking,

Sheffield’s expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously took a step back. “Wait…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his body was no longer under his control. His thoughts and consciousness seemed to have stopped, and he could only hear the horrified shouts from the people around him and his three companions.

Under everyone’s gaze, Sheffield’s body turned into dust, and only a strand of ice crystal-like hair floated in the air.

Dead, he was really dead.

One of the people who had achieved the most breakthroughs in the aerospace industry in recent years, Dr. Sheffield, had died just like that in the lobby of the Jiangnan Hotel.

“What’s that?”

As the surrounding people secretly cheered, their gazes stopped on the ice crystal-like hair.

As the only surviving item from his body, coupled with the faint fluctuations on its surface, it was both mysterious and attractive. Perhaps this was the source of the mutation in the four foreigners.

Chen Yiming waved his hand lightly in the air, and the ice crystal-like hair was caught in his hand.

The three other blue-haired foreigners in the hall had uncertain expressions on their faces, as if they could not accept the fact that Dr. Sheffield was already dead.

“There’s a problem with the plan!”

The three of them were jolted awake.

Before setting off, they had thought that the plan was foolproof. They would first display the powerful strength of the Ice Valley and use the 10 transport planes from the European Union as a threat.

Then, Dr. Sheffield would step forward and show what kind of help the Ice Valley could bring to the space plan.

However, even though they had already grasped the crux of the matter and were basically putting a knife to the throat of the space plan, Chen Yiming actually ignored the overall situation of the humans.

A mistake! A mistake! A mistake!

After thinking it through, the remaining three people revealed looks of fear that they could not suppress, especially the tall and thin blue-haired man who had teased Han Qiufeng earlier.

The tall and thin blue-haired man was different from the other three. While he worked for the Ice Valley, he was also a lustful person.

After he gained enough power and strength, the first thing he would do was to play around with different women every day. However, he had yet to enjoy such a life that was like that of an emperor, so how could he be willing to die so easily?

Chen Yiming was studying the ice crystal-like hair in his hand in front of everyone, and the people in the quiet hotel lobby subconsciously held their breaths. Their attention was attracted by the ice crystal-like hair.

The tall and thin blue-haired man took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, white skin on his right hand changed into an ice claw, and he charged at Wang Ronghui.

As the big shot in charge of Jiangnan province, Wang Ronghui was the most suitable hostage at the scene. Once he was under their control, they had a chance of escaping.

Marek and the remaining blue-haired foreigners immediately cooperated and launched an attack. Their right hands, which had also turned into ice claws, aimed at Chen Yiming, who was deep in thought.

They did not aim to kill him, but to stall him for a moment and create an opportunity for the tall and thin blue-haired man to capture Wang Ronghui.

Mysterious symbols crawled to the surface of the ice claws like small black tadpoles. A terrifying cold aura instantly appeared in the hotel lobby. It was a change created by the power of nature.

Outside the Jiangnan Hotel, a world of ice began to spread. It seemed like a terrifying incident was about to happen in the city center.

“Damn it!”

Everyone who was enveloped by the cold air was scared out of their wits.

With Chen Yiming’s appearance at the Jiangnan Hotel, everyone had the confidence to stay behind. They had secretly cheered for Chen Yiming when he did not fall for the threat.

However, in the blink of an eye, the remaining three blue-haired foreigners started to attack the people around them.

“You’re underestimating me!”

Chen Yiming shouted, and a terrifying spiritual storm erupted. The connection between the mysterious symbols and the power of nature was disturbed, and the cold air stopped spreading out.

If the owner of the ice crystal-like hair was here, it would not be so easy for him to interfere with the mysterious symbols on the ice claws.

However, as an external object, its power was nothing to him. As long as he understood the connection between the mysterious symbols and the power of nature, it would be easy for him to break the connection.

“Thank you for saving us, Mr. Chen!”

The hotel lobby returned to its normal temperature. The faces of the people who had survived another disaster were still pale as they bowed in gratitude. They had thought that they were going to die.

The three blue-haired foreigners who had ambushed Wang Ronghui and attacked Chen Yiming were rooted to the ground. There was panic in their eyes, and their entire bodies were bound by a terrifying spiritual power.

Chen Yiming waved his hand again, and an ice crystal-like hair flew out from the three blue-haired men. The mutations in their bodies quickly disappeared.

“It’s another powerful creature from the otherworld,” Chen Yiming thought to himself as he played with the four ice crystal-like hairs in his hand.

Although there were many restrictions on the level of external objects, the power that could be imbued in them from those at the level of the inscription realm could still be used to bully humans who were below the martial realm.

However, its main body’s level was undoubtedly the same as the huge eye from Mount Everest. It was stronger than the current Chen Yiming, and he couldn’t do anything about it for the time being.

At the same time, a thought occurred to him. “First, the huge eye has been secretly monitoring the movements of the Daxia Kingdom. Now, another existence of the same level is trying to interfere with the space plan.

Learning about human technological civilization? Understanding human history and culture? This was definitely impossible.

The black tide seemed to have arrived recently. Did the strongest creatures from the otherworld also intend to escape deep into space to avoid trouble like the humans on the blue planet?

However, it’s also possible that it’s just for the sake of the fragments of the extraordinary weapons. Could the strongest creatures from the otherworld be studying the mysterious symbols on them to find a way to fight back against the arrival of the black tide?”

Chen Yiming had no choice but to make this guess since it involved the space plan.

On second thought, he felt that the possibility of studying the fragments of extraordinary weapons was relatively low. After all, the quality of the items was not high enough. The black tide was a terrifying existence that could dominate the entire galaxy. It could not be crushed by pure strength.

“Then there’s only one possibility. They can escape deep into space to avoid trouble like humans.” Chen Yiming eliminated the existence of a second possibility.

Thinking of this, he vaguely grasped the truth. These actions might all be related to the shadow mouth on the moon.

“Is the shadow mouth a tool for the black tide creatures to stop humans from escaping the blue planet?”

“That’s right, that must be it. Otherwise, when the shadow monster died, there is no reason why the black tide doesn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, it’s moving at a leisurely pace. It’s currently harvesting the negative emotions in the otherworld.”

Because the spiritual figure had almost been killed by the shadow mouth, Chen Yiming hadn’t provoked it again. He had originally planned to probe it just before the spaceship’s completion.

Now, he understood that it was not enough for humans to create a spaceship that could escape from the blue planet. They still had to deal with the shadow mouth on the moon.

“The purpose of the hidden existence infiltrating the space plan is basically to grasp the exact progress of the human spaceship and its launch.

Perhaps they are trying to use humans as cannon fodder to hold back the shadow mouth so that they can quickly escape into the galaxy.”

Chen Yiming wasn’t too worried since he had roughly guessed the intentions of the mysterious existences. However, his vigilance towards the shadow mouth increased to another level.

Previously, he had determined that the shadow mouth was at the same level as the strongest creatures in the otherworld. However, because it came from the black tide in the galaxy, there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides.

On the other hand, he had upgraded the spiritual figure to a Level-6 swordsmanship talent. With the martial arts talent system, the talents he obtained would definitely allow him to crush those at the same level. It should not be a problem for him to protect the human spaceship as it left the blue planet.

From the looks of it, his evaluation of the shadow mouth was wrong. The existence behind the ice crystal-like hair did not dare to escape from the blue planet directly.
