Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

However, Li Ming didn't say anything more. He looked up at the flame he had lit and fell into deep thought.

Su Mei was touching the [Sunfire Greatsword] in her hand. Although the [Scattered Blade] on her back looked cool, it didn't have the self-heating effect of the [Sunfire Greatsword].

"Uncle-Master, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Li Ming kept his head up but did not look in Cheng Ling Shuang's direction, following Li Ming's gaze, we found that Li Ming was only looking at the still burning green flames.

"what?"

After regaining his senses, Li Ming responded and withdrew his gaze. He suppressed his thoughts, thinking that perhaps the flames could offer some hope to those still alive on the island tonight.

"It seems like things have been resolved with Junior Sister Cheng."

Although she seemed to have guessed what her martial uncle was thinking, Su Mei didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Cheng Ling Shuang.

Cheng Ling Shuang is now much more skilled at using the Plasma Spear. She parried the spear of the assassin in front of her with the forked tip of the Plasma Spear.

With a swift movement, he disarmed the assassin.

He then simply abandoned his weapon and launched a direct attack, using his fists and feet to break through the assassin's defenses.

Cheng Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when the assassin's scales were shattered by the Inch Heart Fist technique.

I haven't used my boxing skills for a while, and I've actually gotten a little rusty.

It seems I need to practice more during my morning workouts. After all, boxing is the most basic thing, and I can't forget it.

After tidying up, Cheng Ling Shuang picked up her [Plasma Gun] and walked towards Li Ming.

However, Cheng Ling Shuang paused for a moment when she noticed that the spear in the hand of the assassin she had just dealt with was showing signs of disintegration.

"So that's how it is?"

Despite some confusion, the weapons of the assassins I had encountered before were not like this.

Although there are cases where it can be corrupted by demonic energy, rendering it unusable.

However, this was the first time Cheng Ling Shuang had ever seen something turn directly into dust like this.

"Resolved in half an hour?"

Li Ming glanced at Cheng Ling Shuang, who was walking towards him, and she didn't look so disheveled.

I stood up and took a couple of breaths. I finally felt less weak and was alive again.

Li Ming didn't switch to [Ice Yama? Other Shore] even though his SP value was exhausted. After all, the mechanical attribute of [Ice Yama? Other Shore] had one advantage: it didn't require his control.

He could control the armor using its built-in control system, but he still needed to fly up and retrieve Qin Suying from the tree.

After landing with Qin Suying on his back, Li Ming touched the child's forehead and breathed a sigh of relief when it seemed less feverish than before.

"Phew... Now we're going straight into the center of the island along that river. We've almost cleared out all the assassins and monsters around here. The dragon hasn't shown up yet, which means it's not in the sea and can't see what's going on around the island."

Li Ming's analysis was reasonable and well-founded. Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang didn't say anything. After all, their martial uncle had gone to so much trouble, so they naturally had to consider it.

"Uncle-Master, would you like to take a rest?"

Although Li Ming didn't show anything, judging from his occasional panting and the fact that he didn't choose to fly through the air while wearing those strange clothes, he was still quite adept at it.

This led Su Mei to guess that her martial uncle had used up a lot of energy by freezing the river earlier.

"It's alright, let's go find that dragon first. We can rest after we find it."

Li Ming rejected Su Mei's suggestion. Although he did seem to need a rest, [Ice Yama? Other Shore] was just a cooldown for his ultimate skill.

Using it won't have any impact, and if the dragon notices his actions, he can simply force his way through.

Then it would truly be like a dragon entering the sea, leaving one only to sigh in vain.

Then Cheng Ling Shuang's sword test would truly become a joke.

Although he jokingly said he was drawing inspiration from those bandits, he felt that if Cheng Ling Shuang were to continue killing, she would really become a killing machine.

"...Go along this river, and it's all frozen solid!" Cheng Ling Shuang said with a blank expression, sounding very surprised.

This left Li Ming speechless. Oh well, becoming a killer isn't so bad after all.

The three of them traveled along the river, and because it was frozen, they were able to move much faster. Along the way, they also found many Honkai Beasts frozen in the river.

Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang were the ones who did most of the work, while the assassins on the shore were all dealt with by Li Ming using the [Energy Jumper].

To be honest, he hadn't used these dual pistols in a long time. The main reason was that when Cocolia designed the [Energy Jumper], it wasn't intended to be used against large Honkai Beasts.

More often than not, it targets the hordes of Frost Death Warriors that have appeared in Siberia, especially the Frost Rangers.

So now Li Ming can use this to deal with these assassins.

"Uncle-Master, after we cross this hillside, there seems to be smoke coming from the mountainside?"

Because she defeated her opponent with almost no effort, Su Mei can be said to have the most stamina.

Su Mei, who had climbed up the hill, acted as a scout and was the first to observe the situation.

The island didn't look very big, but the three of them climbed from the hour of Yin to the hour of Mao, as the faint morning light gradually rose from the coastline.

The smoke Su Mei saw was probably from someone preparing a meal.

Li Ming observed his surroundings and saw that the mountain range was almost crescent-shaped, encircling Li Island.

A central lake was created in the center of the island, connected by three waterways.

However, it is estimated that all three river channels are now frozen by Li Ming.

You can't see the lake from the mountain, but you can see a wisp of smoke rising from a chimney far from the river on the mountainside.

To be honest, this is really a bit bizarre. Normally, a place should be nestled against a mountain and near water.

After all, without a water source, many things become very inconvenient.

But these houses seem to have been deliberately built so far apart.

This did pique Li Ming's curiosity, especially since there was even smoke rising from the chimney.

"Let's go take a look..."

Li Ming led the way, followed closely by Cheng Ling Shuang and Su Mei. Qin Su Yi, with her head resting on Li Ming's shoulder, murmured something, then groggily opened her eyes, "Ugh...so noisy..."

However, the three of them didn't hear any noise and assumed that Qin Suying was just too young and would be woken up by the slightest noise.

This made the three of them slow down a little, but they still quickly found the family whose cooking fire was burning.

However, their journey was far from peaceful, even dangerous for some second-rate martial arts masters, which aroused their curiosity even more.
