Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 135 Next Stage Pass

Sevier's words drew everyone's attention.

Brian was the one who was most concerned.

He stopped shoveling snow as soon as he stopped, his ears perked up, not daring to miss any detail.

Scarlett's lip is injured? Could it be that she and Mo Ting are in another time and space...?

Was he not good enough?

Scarlett had a headache and didn't want to respond to the probing gazes of everyone. Adhering to the principle of avoiding them if possible, she grabbed Saviour's arm and said, "Saviour, open your domain. I need to rest in your domain."

"it is good."

Sevier never refused her requests.

There was a flash of blue light.

Scarlett now has some alone time.

But this space didn't last long. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Ting barged in, looked at her coldly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Get out, I have something to say."

His businesslike tone calmed Scarlett's restless heart considerably. She said "Oh," and followed him out.

Nine people sat together in a circle.

Mo Ting opened his palm, revealing a piece of parchment. He said coldly, "This fell from that giant."

Riley picked up the parchment, unfolded it, and read aloud the words: "The city is sealed by ice and snow."

"What does this mean?" Scarlett asked curiously.

Riley said, "It might be a hint from the desolate star."

"A hint?" Chi Ye raised his eyebrows, his gaze fixed on the parchment scroll, trying to understand the four words.

Holster said, "To enhance everyone's competitive spirit, a certain number of scouts will be deployed on each wasteland planet in the resource competition. After defeating them, a competition prompt will appear."

“You mean that giant is a symbol?” Scarlett asked him.

"Perhaps," Holst said, not giving a definitive answer.

"So, we've actually benefited from this misfortune?" Ashley chuckled, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Holster pictured Scarlett frowning and staring blankly in his mind, smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett's tension, like his, had lessened somewhat.

"its not right."

Recalling their conversation during the fight, Chi Ye asked, "Didn't you say he was an orc?"

Chi Ye had participated in other competitions and knew that the designated characters generally did not use orcs, but instead used 10D technology to create similar orcs and deploy them, which could control the mortality rate of the competition.

"Orcs?"

Scarlett's eyes widened slightly as she asked in surprise, "He's so tall, and he's an orc? What's his beast form? A giant beast?"

Scarlett couldn't imagine it.

Her beast form is an eight-meter-long dragon. Even so, her human form's height and weight are normal, unlike that giant who completely exceeds the range of normal people.

Zheko spoke up: "He is indeed an orc."

Scarlett looked at him.

At the same time, Mo Ting also looked at Scarlett, a slight smile playing on his lips, and a contemptuous sneer escaped his lips in his heart.

Zheko explained, "The mark between his eyebrows is from surgery. This surgery is called a prefrontal lobotomy. After this surgery, the orc's mental sea and brainstem disappear, leaving them demented, without sensation or the ability to think, becoming a walking corpse. Then their bodies will expand infinitely, with their organs squeezing each other until their skin can no longer support them, causing them to explode and die."

"This process will take about a hundred years."

Scarlett clicked her tongue and said, "So cruel?"

Riley said, "Your Highness, prefrontal lobotomy is a form of punishment in the Oran Rosa Empire, used only against some extreme orcs. Compared to their crimes, it is not considered cruel."

Scarlett nodded as if she understood, and said nothing more.

Holster said, "Although the giants are like idiots, they have a fighting spirit. Coupled with their surging physique and immunity to mental power, they are very difficult opponents. It is reasonable to use them as prompt characters."

Dzeko: "Indeed, the resource competition doesn't care about the lives of the participants..."

Brian glanced at Saviour, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Hey, do you understand?"

Brian was the youngest son of the Emperor of Kassinia. His father was extremely favored, and by extension, Brian was also deeply loved by the Emperor.

He hasn't experienced many hardships and has always done as he pleases since childhood.

He and Scarlett had only been married for a year, and they spent most of their time arguing and fighting. He didn't know much about the history and rules of the Oran Rosa Empire.

He couldn't quite understand what Holst and the others were saying.

He assumed that Sevia, like himself, was seeking comfort and to make herself seem less foolish.

Sevier nodded and said, "I understand."

"You understand?" Brian questioned.

Sylvia looked into his eyes. "I understand a little. 'Ice and Snow City' refers to the desolate planet B095. It's an icy world, much colder than here, with average temperatures between -120°C and -240°C. Water freezes instantly, breath turns to frost, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge, almost 100°C." Brian was taken aback by Sylvia's detailed and clear explanation, and asked in astonishment, "How do you know?"

Recalling the past, Sevia's face paled slightly, and after a few seconds of pause, she said, "I grew up there."

The two were speaking quite loudly.

When Sevia specified which planet the "frozen city" referred to, everyone else stopped talking and listened attentively.

When they heard him say, "I grew up there," everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

The statement that Sylvia, a prince, grew up on a desolate planet sounds utterly absurd.

The desolate planet is a barren land used for the exile and punishment of orcs.

Even the lowest-ranking commoners live in environments hundreds of times better than those on the desolate planet.

How did Seville end up growing up there?

Holst, Riley, Zheko, and Moting exchanged wary glances.

As far as they knew, the prince sent by the Emperor of Arga for a marriage alliance was the most favored prince on their planet, just like Brian.

Chi Ye and Sevilla had a good relationship, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Ashley patted him on the shoulder in a comforting gesture.

Brian's throat tightened, unsure of what to say.

A moment.

Scarlett spoke up: "Sevier."

She squeezed Sevier's hand and said gently, "Can you tell me anything else? About the desolate planet B095? Your knowledge is helpful to everyone. Let us learn about it. Maybe it will be our next planet. Let's prepare in advance."

Sevier smiled, the seriousness in her eyes melting away like frost, and said, "Alright."

He recounted in detail: "Over a hundred years ago, B095 was a healthy planet inhabited by many orcs. Later, a group of orcs who could control ice and snow invaded them, killing all the natives and taking over B095. B095 originally belonged to my home planet, Arga. When the Queen Mother learned of this, she sent an army to suppress them, capture the invaders, and punish them according to the law."

"Unfortunately, many of them escaped capture by using ice and snow as cover. Seeing their people brought to justice, they gave up the will to live and, at the cost of their lives, activated their mental power to bury the entire planet with ice and snow, perishing together with their loved ones. From then on, planet B095 became a desolate planet, where the ice and snow could never melt, accumulating deeper and deeper until it swallowed up all the cities."

No wonder it's called 'Ice and Snow Locked the City'.

Riley looked at the parchment in his hand and smiled.

The words fell.

Suddenly, the parchment lit up, and the words on it flashed with light. Then, the light jumped out and transformed into a portal, standing in front of everyone.

"What is this?" Chi Ye asked in astonishment.

Scarlett murmured, "If I'm not mistaken, it might be a portal."

Riley glanced at the parchment in his hand again; the writing on it was gone, and a new idea popped into his head.

Holster's eyes lit up, and he said, "This might not be a competition hint, but rather a pass to the next stage."

"There's such a thing?" Ashley was filled with surprise and delight.

He and Scarlett are so lucky.

Zheko stood in front of the door. "Yes, and there's only one for each stage."

The portal is genuine.

The event will only appear if you collect all the required ores and verify them all, or if you use a pass.

However, what kind of world lies on the other side remains to be seen.

Mo Ting rubbed his wrists, stood up, and was eager to try.

Scarlett displayed the ores she had painstakingly collected to clear the level, saying, "Then we've been searching for nothing?"

Riley laughed and said, "Your Highness, you have to get used to doing useless things a lot in life."

Scarlett pouted, put the ore back into her spatial storage, spread her hands, and made a helpless expression. "Fine, this princess is used to it."

Dzeko stepped into the portal. "I'll go in and take a look first."

Not long after, Zheko returned, his hair covered with a thick layer of snow. His usually cold and stern features showed a rare hint of vulnerability as he exhaled a puff of white air and said, "It's so cold."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

……

……

A new world lies beyond the door.

This will also be their next test.

As for whether it is the desolate planet B095.

unknown.
