A man wrapped like a bear appeared out of thin air next to Xu Jingming. His thick hair sprouted out of the turban, and only a pair of big black eyes were exposed.
"It's too cold, it's really too cold." The man returned to the starting point and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "It's still the warmest place."
"Warm?" Xu Jingming looked at him.
Such biting cold, is it called warmth?
"Brother." The tightly packed man looked at Xu Jingming and said with a smile, "Are you new to the third planet?"
"Wu Gou Star Alliance, Wu Ming." Xu Jingming reported his pseudonym.
"Changyu Star Alliance, Lan Nuo." The man chuckled, "I have been trapped on this third planet for more than two months, and I have frozen to death nineteen times."
"Frozen to death?" Xu Jingming's heart tightened, "Is it so cold?"
"We explorers, each of us are limited to the physical level of the 'Blood Rain World'." The man shook his head and said, "So everyone experiences the same cold. The feeling of freezing to death is really uncomfortable."
Xu Jingming immediately clicked on his personal panel and began to view the test content of the third planet.
Wow.
A virtual map of the third planet appeared, with a map marked on it.
"Please arrive at the 'extremely cold place' of the third planet. If you successfully arrive, you can go to the fourth planet." The content of the test was only a few lines, but looking at the marked location and the name of the destination, Xu Jingming said
I feel vaguely bad.
"On this planet, except for us explorers, there is no life." The man shook his head, "It's just one word, cold! It's so cold that we freeze to death! Brother, I wish you good luck, I'm going to try it for the twentieth time!
"
As he said that, the man buried his head and moved forward step by step.
"I was frozen to death nineteen times, and I tried the twentieth time... This man has an extraordinary mind and will." Xu Jingming saw this and said to himself, "But he was still trapped on the third planet for more than two months."
"If you can choose clothes and armor, try to choose them."
Xu Jingming did not dare to be careless at all. He tried his best to choose something with a high enough "cold protection degree" in his personal panel. He wore a close-fitting cotton coat, then a layer of soft armor, and finally a layer of tight armor.
"You can't choose a helmet, you can only use a belt." The cloth belt Xu Jingming chose was thick enough, but now it was used as a turban, covering his head and only exposing his eyes.
"Set off."
The whole person looked a bit bloated. In order to cope with unexpected dangers, Xu Jingming also carried a gun pouch.
"Fortunately, my body will not be hungry or thirsty, and I can always maintain peak physical strength." While walking, Xu Jingming mobilized the cells in his body to generate as much heat as possible! Achieving cell-level control, with just one thought, the heat that exploded throughout the body was much stronger than the effect of strenuous exercise.
many.
"My whole body feels warm."
When Xu Jingming set off, he felt quite relaxed.
After all, the armor and soft clothes were tightly wrapped, and the body generated enough heat. Even walking easily left traces of afterimages, and he was moving at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour.
"The total distance from the starting point to the extremely cold place is 936 kilometers, which is not too far." After experiencing the test of the Zerg planet, Xu Jingming felt that this distance was relatively close.
But gradually...
"It's getting colder." Xu Jingming felt that the cold outside was soaring. The cold began to pass through the armor, inner armor, and cotton clothes. The heat generated by the body gradually became unable to resist the cold, and the cold began to
"The most fundamental thing in starry sky life cultivation is to control the physical body! You must control the physical body!" Xu Jingming's mind and will tried his best to control every cell, trying to stop the body from shaking.
But the cold invaded every cell and competed with Xu Jingming’s spiritual will for ‘dominance’.
"Why is it so cold? I've only walked more than two hundred kilometers." Xu Jingming trembled, gritting his teeth and still moving forward.
At a glance, the whole world is icy white.
Ice covered countless rocks, and some of the rocks were exposed and lifeless.
Xu Jingming walked alone.
Occasionally, I saw other citizens of the universe walking in silence. In such a terrible cold... no one wanted to speak.
"Um?"
Xu Jingming saw a tightly wrapped cosmic citizen standing there on the roadside ahead, maintaining his walking posture, but motionless. His whole body was covered with a layer of ice.
"He's not dead yet." Xu Jingming watched silently, "But he can't hold on for long."
When Xu Jingming walked close to that person.
Wow!
The citizen of the universe who was frozen into ice disappeared completely.
"If you freeze to death, you'll have to return to the starting point." Xu Jingming secretly said, "I was frozen to death more than 300 kilometers away. It's too far to reach an extremely cold place more than 900 kilometers away."
Xu Jingming walked with his head buried in the ground.
After walking five hundred kilometers, I occasionally see citizens of the universe whose "walking postures" are frozen. Those citizens of the universe still have consciousness and have not been completely frozen to death.
When he reached 600 kilometers, Xu Jingming no longer shivered, but was partially numb from the cold.
"It's not good, my body is starting to become partially numb." Xu Jingming's heart tightened.
Just shivering is a small thing, numbness is a big thing!
Xu Jingming's mind has strong control over his body, but he feels that part of his body has become unconscious!
Without consciousness, Xu Jingming could still barely keep walking.
"Is the third planet so difficult?" Xu Jingming said silently.
"Persevere, as long as you reach the finish line, you will win." Xu Jingming comforted himself.
However, at 700 kilometers, Xu Jingming lost most of his body consciousness, and his mind's ability to regulate his body became weaker.
"Am I going to freeze to death too?" Xu Jingming vaguely understood that he was not far away from being frozen into ice.
"This is the third planet! I must persist." Xu Jingming persisted with ardent faith.
"I can't fail!"
"I have to reach at least the fifth planet."
Xu Jingming was roaring in his heart. He thought of his wife and family, his daughter who was just a few months old, and the entire Blue Star that was about to face ups and downs...
"Hold on, give me control over every cell, control them!" Xu Jingming became more and more fervent in his desperate situation, trying to mobilize his body.
The mind and will compete with the cold for control of the body.
Take control of your body! Keep walking!
Eight hundred kilometers!
Xu Jingming only has one belief left: "Go forward and reach the extremely cold place!"
Even though it was numb and unconscious, the body was still walking step by step, and Xu Jingming didn't even bother to click on the panel to check his position.
Only one thought left!
finally……
A lake appeared in front of Xu Jingming!
The dark blue lake water is still flowing slowly at such a terrifying low temperature.
"We're almost there. Swim across the lake and you'll reach the... extremely cold place in the middle of the lake." Xu Jingming stepped directly into the lake. The dark blue lake water was very dense, and most of his body was above the lake water.
"Swim, swim over..."
Xu Jingming swam forward, but the lake water penetrated the inner armor of the armor and his clothes. An even more terrifying coldness invaded his body. Xu Jingming only swam more than ten meters, then became slower and slower. His right hand moved forward extremely slowly.
Gradually, the ice layer on the surface of the body is condensing.
"Swim, swim!"
Xu Jingming's spiritual consciousness was still giving orders, but his body was motionless. Xu Jingming could feel that the ice on his body was getting thicker and thicker, and his consciousness was being suppressed more and more, as if he was falling into an endless abyss.
Finally, it entered complete darkness.
The frozen figure in the lake also disappeared out of thin air.
…
When he reappeared, Xu Jingming had returned to the starting point of the third planet.
"Am I freezing to death?" Xu Jingming felt at this moment that the starting point was really warm, and the heat naturally produced by the body could resist the cold.
The spiritual consciousness has also completely awakened.
Under the terrible cold before, my consciousness became more numb and weaker as I went back.
"It feels so good to wake up and become stronger." Xu Jingming frowned slightly.
When he came to the mysterious place, the first planet and the second planet, he passed through them all at once.
But when he came to the third planet! His first attempt failed and he froze to death in an extremely cold lake.
"If you want to pass the test of the third planet, you must have strong perseverance and strong spiritual strength." Xu Jingming understood that these are the two keys to passing the third planet.
Perseverance and resilience are a characteristic that many strong people possess.
For example, the person who froze to death nineteen times before and still continued to try showed his perseverance and resilience.
Xu Jingming was also very perseverant. No matter how desperate or painful he was, he never gave up until he froze to death.
but……
Just having perseverance and resilience is not enough.
It also requires extremely powerful ‘spiritual power’.
"The spiritual power is strong enough. Even in the terrible cold, the spiritual power can still control the physical body." Xu Jingming said secretly, "Obviously my spiritual power is still weak."
He knows that his spiritual power is not strong.
He became a seventh-level starry sky life after being increased by 20 times in actual combat.
Obviously, Xu Jingming, who is only 31 years old and has practiced the evolutionary method for less than two years, is still weak in terms of spiritual power.
"Only when you reach the fifth planet are you qualified to be selected by the forces of the Hunter Universe." Xu Jingming said secretly, "And I can't even pass the test of the third planet for the time being. There will be a more difficult test of the fourth planet later.
"
Wow.
Xu Jingming is temporarily offline.
******
When encountering a problem, first find the best way to deal with it.
"On the one hand, I have to learn how to wear clothes to better protect against the cold." Xu Jingming searched for information on the Virtual World Network. "You can directly ask experts in this field to help formulate a dressing plan. Use clothes and equipment to reduce the power of the cold.
.”
"On the other hand, I have to enhance my spiritual awareness."
"In addition to conventional training and sharpening methods, I have to break through to the 'high realm of starry sky life' in reality as soon as possible." Xu Jingming secretly said, "The physical body will be much stronger when it breaks through from the middle realm of starry sky life to the high realm."
"A strong body, a strong brain...will also strengthen the mind and consciousness." Xu Jingming said secretly.
The physical body and spiritual consciousness complement each other.
Why are eighth-level starry sky beings so incredibly strong in spiritual consciousness? Their physical bodies are incredibly strong, which is also a key factor.
…
After Xu Jingming went offline, he went to the undersea base to practice on artificial stars with the help of a gravity chamber.
He has maintained a practice frequency of about once every three days to make his body's evolution efficiency high enough.
"It is estimated that in about half a month, the body will reach the high state of life in the stars." Xu Jingming finished his training and returned home in his own small spaceship.
In the courtyard of his residence, Director Zhou was already waiting here.
"Director Zhou." Xu Jingming walked out of the spaceship and looked at Director Zhou in surprise, "If you need anything, just call."
"It's a very important thing."
Director Zhou came over and whispered, "We have received news... a relatively powerful civilization in the Wugou Star Alliance, the Black Moon Civilization, has sent a mission and is expected to arrive at Blue Star on June 2."
"A mission from the Black Moon Civilization?" Xu Jingming's heart tightened, "June 2nd, isn't it just the end of the civilization protection period?"
"Um."
Director Zhou nodded, "The other party is very active, and they even took the initiative to release the news of 'visiting Blue Star Civilization'."
Xu Jingming frowned: "Take the initiative to release the news?"
"It is to declare to the surrounding areas that Blue Star Civilization is their prey." Director Zhou said in a low voice.
Xu Jingming's heart tightened: "Are you acting so domineering?"
"Our Blue Star Civilization has calculated that the biggest threat it will face when the protection period ends... is most likely the Black Moon Civilization." Director Zhou said, "We once hoped that the Black Moon Civilization would look down on us. But the fact is that the Black Moon Civilization will look down on us.
Yue Civilization has sent a mission."
"Fear and fear are useless. We can only face it with all our strength." Director Zhou looked at Xu Jingming, "So we need your contribution."
"At this moment, I have no shirking responsibility." Xu Jingming nodded, "What do you need me to do?"
