Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Three days later.

The Arctic Icefield became lively.

Not only did various countries send their official superpower user teams deep into the icefield to search for the Cold Abyss Ice Fish.

Even many civilian superpower users traveled from afar, attempting to get a share of the profits.

Some of them were lone wolves, others formed teams with familiar friends, and there were even some corporate-organized superpower user squads.

In just a few days, no fewer than fifty thousand superpower users from all over the world had arrived at the Arctic Icefield.

It is completely foreseeable that as time goes on, more and more superpower users will congregate here.

This extremely cold icefield has truly become a hotbed for treasure hunting.

At this moment.

An icebreaker was slowly moving through the ice sea, the "crack" sound of the ice breaking continuously echoed.

This area is the outer region of the Arctic Circle, where only a thin layer of sea ice covers the surface, allowing the icebreaker to pass unobstructed.

Jackson, wearing a coat and holding a bottle of liquor in his right hand, stood at the bow of the ship and gazed into the distance.

On this guy's shoulder surprisingly stood a pitch-black crow.

An oil company named "Dakot Group" had hired a batch of superpower users to prospect for treasure in the Arctic.

This guy was a member of the Dakot Expedition Team.

An oil company hiring superpower users to go to the Arctic sounds odd, but it's not surprising when you think about it.

It's already the Superpower Era, and many companies are trying to follow the trend of history, attempting to delve into the supernatural domain.

The Dakot Group is certainly no exception.

Because everyone knows that embracing superpowers is the future!!

And when the company announced the news publicly, its stock price even saw a slight increase.

"Woo~"

A cold wind swept through.

Jackson's hair was blown into disarray.

The crow immediately turned its head, affectionately pecking its owner's hair with its beak, helping to comb it neatly.

"Hey, buddy!"

A gruff voice suddenly came from behind.

Jackson didn't need to turn around to know it was the voice of another team member, Stevenson.

Stevenson continued chattering: "Why are you here in the cold wind again? Isn't it better to stay in the cabin and enjoy the warmth?"

The guy glanced forward, muttering: "It's all black, you can't see anything."

Jackson didn't bother to respond.

Stevenson walked over and smiled at the crow: "Hello, Nige!"

"Caw!"

The crow cawed.

Stevenson continued rambling: "I really don't understand why so many superpower users like to keep crows as pets?"

Jackson shrugged: "Because the Great Xia Spirit Crow is just so cool!"

Stevenson couldn't understand: "Even if the Great Xia Spirit Crow is very powerful, it doesn't mean everyone should raise a crow like him, does it?"

Jackson provided a reason: "There's a saying that crows are the smartest birds, they are more prone to evolution, so the Great Xia Spirit Crow raised a large number of crows as spirit pets."

Stevenson scoffed: "The Great Xia Spirit Crow's crows are so formidable, not because crows easily evolve, but because the Great Xia Spirit Crow is formidable."

He paused, summing it up: "That's just foolish personal worship!"

Jackson retorted: "Mr. Spirit Crows can send out any spirit crow to easily kill you. Is it wrong for me to worship him?"

Stevenson was suddenly speechless.

He changed the topic: "Buddy, I just heard that the price of Cold Abyss Ice Fish on the international market has soared to 12 million Xia Yuan each."

Currently, on the international market, Xia Yuan has become more popular than Carmenia Dollar.

Especially in the supernatural domain, the Great Xia is the undisputed first power, and the Xia Yuan is the real hard currency.

Jackson was a bit surprised: "I remember yesterday it was still 8 million Xia Yuan."

Stevenson chuckled: "A royal family member from a country on the Oil Peninsula happened to awaken an ice superpower, this guy spent money to buy an ice fish, used it to refine his superpower, and increased by 2 Spirit Value points overnight."

Jackson was somewhat shocked: "That much?!"

He then suddenly realized: "No wonder the price of ice fish shot up by 4 million Xia Yuan overnight."

Stevenson laughed: "The Great Xia People have said that some change has occurred in the Arctic Icefield, making ice fish a specialty of the icefield, with the Arctic expected to continuously produce ice fish in the future.

"In the initial period, it is a bonus period, and later as ice fish gradually increase, prices will drop step by step.

"I guess there's still more superpower users dreaming of making a fortune, coming to the Arctic to search for ice fish."

Jackson nodded in agreement: "Makes sense."

Stevenson was a bit regretful: "If I had known earlier, I would have come to the Arctic alone. Now with the agreement signed with Dakot Group, quitting halfway would mean paying a hefty compensation."

Jackson glanced at him: "The Arctic Icefield is quite dangerous, and team action provides more safety. Even if you found an ice fish on your own, you might not be able to bring it back."

He paused and clarified: "Don't forget, the Arctic is a lawless place, even murder wouldn't be dealt with."

Stevenson grinned: "I'm not afraid!"

Jackson shrugged again, saying nothing more.

Two hours later.

The icebreaker slowly came to a halt.

Because the ice layer ahead had thickened, the icebreaker had to proceed at a slower pace.

The expedition team leader, Arnold, decided everyone should disembark and travel on foot, as this would be faster.

Twelve superpower users collectively boarded the ice surface, sledding into the vast icefield.

Soon.

Amidst the snowstorm ahead, something different appeared.

There appeared sporadic low mounds, conical in shape, generally not exceeding five meters in height, standing quietly on the ice surface.

Arnold gripped his snow staff with both hands, forcefully pushed against the ice surface, and quickly glided next to one of the low mounds.

He took a good look at the mound and asked in confusion: "Guys, does anyone know what this is?"

Stevenson's information was exceptionally well-informed: "Boss, yesterday at the center of the Arctic Icefield, a few ice mounds appeared."

"This morning, these things have spread to the outskirts of the icefield. Some people say these are trees that have grown in the Arctic."

Arnold was quite surprised: "Why would such things grow on the icefield?"

Stevenson shrugged: "I don't know, maybe the Great Xia people know, but they haven't said anything."

Arnold nodded: "That's possible! What the Great Xia people know about the supernatural secrets is more than any country in the world."

The captain sighed again: "Our world is becoming unrecognizable."

Jackson suddenly interjected: "Bro, what's in there?"

Stevenson replied: "Nothing, it's just a big block of ice!"

Arnold put down his right-hand snow staff, and from a few meters away, threw a punch towards the low mound.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound was heard.

The low mound crumbled instantly, collapsing into a pile of shattered ice.

Each piece of ice was irregular in shape, but roughly the same size, about a human head in size.

This little detail represented the level of control over power.

Someone immediately praised, "Beautiful!"

Arnold smiled with a look of self-satisfaction.

This man became the captain of the expedition team by virtue of his prowess far exceeding the average level of power.

He looked down at the shattered ice, nodded, and said: "Indeed, there's nothing here."

Jackson glanced and muttered inwardly: "Is that all?"

He had seen a video of the Great Xia Ghost stomping down a building, and Arnold's punch was far, far inferior.

Arnold then shouted: "Guys, the nearest ice crevasse is 160 kilometers away, let's hurry up!"

The team members followed the captain, formed a long line, and swiftly skated forward.

An hour later.

The expedition team advanced more than a hundred kilometers.

Although they weren't far from the crevasse, everyone's expressions were not good.

Because by a low mound in the distance, there was unexpectedly a corpse frozen stiff.

Everyone truly realized that the Arctic Icefield was a land of danger.

Arnold skated over, waved to send out a wave of power, blowing the snow off the surface of the corpse.

The captain carefully observed for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The deceased was a Superpower User, the head shows signs of a force attack, it was definitely murder."

He sighed again: "There are no signs of a fight around, the killer is most likely someone the deceased trusted, who suddenly attacked and killed the victim."

Jackson commented: "Maybe the deceased found a Cold Abyss Ice Fish, after all, those things are worth a lot of money."

Another Superpower User raised a question: "If it was a murder for treasure, why didn't the killer throw the corpse into the ice crevasse? It's so deep there, no one would ever see the body."

Jackson immediately provided a somewhat forced explanation: "The ice crevasse is still quite far from here, the killer was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to deal with the body."

Arnold waved to stop the discussion: "Alright! Let's move on, everyone be a bit more cautious."

Jackson asked: "Captain, aren't we going to deal with the body first?"

Arnold shook his head: "Let's leave it here, others who see it will also be more vigilant."

Jackson was stunned for a moment, then softly said: "You are a good person."

Arnold smiled and slid away first.

The group set off again.

Half an hour later.

Arnold glanced down at the locator, smiled and said: "The crevasse is just a kilometer away."

At this moment.

A lean Superpower User's ears twitched, and he immediately said: "I seem to hear a call for help."

This guy pointed towards the direction of the ice crevasse: "It's coming from over there."

Arnold was shocked, furrowed his brows: "Quick, let's go over and have a look!"

He glanced around, reminding: "Remember that corpse? Don't act rashly before we figure things out."

The group unanimously responded: "Understood!"

Arnold took the lead, hurriedly leading the team forward.

After advancing several hundred meters.

The sound became clearer.

"Ah~ is there anyone out there… I was pushed into the crevasse and broke a leg… someone help me… save me!"

At this moment.

Another voice came from the other side: "Don't go over… cough… that guy is a murderer… I was just injured by him…"

Arnold immediately shouted in a low voice: "Stop!"

The situation was too strange, no one dared to act rashly.

"Caw!"

The crow on Jackson's shoulder let out a cry.

He was stunned for a moment and asked: "Nige, what's the matter?"

The next moment.

A piercing caw descended from the high sky.

A black shadow, like a gale, descended rapidly from the sky.

At a position ten meters above the ice surface, it abruptly stopped, hovering in mid-air.

This was yet another crow.

But its appearance was extraordinary.

Its whole body was glossy and sleek, each feather faintly bore a metallic texture.

Jackson took a glance and blurted out: "Mr. Spirit Crows' spirit crow!"
