Chapter 355 Dark Ice and King Xin


    "This is…"


    The moment he saw the silver pocket watch, An Bing''s cold expression suddenly changed and he asked coldly.


    "Where did you get this?"


    "Give it to me."


    As she said that, she reached out and tried to take away the pocket watch.


    [Moment of Time] is related to the secret of Shane traveling through time and space and returning to the past, and even related to Laila''s life and death, which is extremely important to him.


    Naturally, it was impossible for Xia En to hand it over so easily.


    Therefore, he took a step back and avoided An Bing''s outstretched hand.


    "Miss An Bing, what do you want to do?"


    At this time, An Bing was no longer as calm and calm as before, but instead became a little abnormally impatient and angry.


    An Bing looked at [The Moment of Time] and repeated again: "Captain Xia En, give it to me."


    Xia En frowned slightly and his attitude became a little serious.


    "…What if I say no?"


    Unlike other crew members, his friendship with An Bing was just a chance encounter.


    If it weren''t for Yan Yan''s relationship, Xia En might not have rescued Princess Yan.


    If An Bing wanted to **** this silver pocket watch from her, Xia En would never coddle her.


    An Bing also saw a determined attitude from Xia En''s words.


    However, this pocket watch also has extraordinary significance to her.


    After hesitating for a moment, An Bing''s eyes flashed with determination and he said, "Then, please let me challenge you."


    "If I win, give me this pocket watch and the quota for the action."


    Xia En''s eyes changed again. He did not directly agree to An Bing''s challenge, but asked.


    "Are you sure?"


    "Not to mention that this is only a one-sided bet. Even if I beat you, there will be no benefit."


    "Secondly, I woke you up from your long sleep. Is this Princess Dayan''s attitude towards her benefactor?"


    If it were an ordinary stranger, Xia En would of course directly agree to such an unreasonable challenge and teach her how to behave in the most violent and direct way.


    However, An Bing is Dayan''s princess and Yan Yan''s wife!


    If An Bing really insists on challenging himself, Xia En will have to examine whether this stupid woman is qualified to be Yan Yan''s wife.


    When he said this, Xia En''s previously suppressed breath spread out again without reservation.


    As his momentum exploded, the surrounding soldiers and secret travelers couldn''t help but change their expressions, and looked at Xia En with fear and fear.


    Previously, in the eyes of these onlookers, Xia En''s aura was not very powerful.


    Combined with the rumor that he was suspected of "avoiding war", many people subconsciously had a contemptuous attitude, thinking that he was a pretty boy who was just a freeloader.


    Regarding the dispute between Xia En and An Bing, people are looking to watch the excitement and gossip, and want to see Xia En''s jokes!


    But at this time, they realized that this was not the case at all!


    After just completing his promotion, Xia En''s body still retains the aura from [Old Fire], [Secret Sea], and... [Great Law].


    These three are all existences that transcend the [Seven Seas World].


    His high status is far beyond people''s imagination.


    Even if there is only a little residual breath, Xia En looks like a bottomless abyss.


    The man seemed to be standing in front of them, but he was actually standing in some higher dimension, quietly watching the changes in the galaxy and civilization.


    In the eyes of some people with keen inspiration, Xia En exudes bursts of twisted brilliance.


    The color of that light transcends all colors in the world and can hardly be described in any words or language. It contains infinite mystery and weirdness.


    Just staring at this light makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.


    "What happened?"


    "The aura on that man''s body... is so terrifying! It''s almost like the oppressive feeling that a legend gives people."


    "I remembered that Xia En seemed to have a record of killing sixth-level Mystic Pathfinders before."


    Someone said in surprise: "At that time, he was only at level five."


    "Is it really like what the woman said, that he just went into seclusion to get promoted?"


    "But how does this look like the sixth level?"


    Another person couldn''t help but complain: "Even ordinary legendary strong men don''t have such a terrifying aura, right?"


    Among the Secret Pathers, strength will ultimately speak for itself.


    As Xia En showed his aura, everyone''s attitude changed 180 degrees.


    On the side, Benny had just escaped from the frozen situation and regained his ability to move.


    The look on his face was extremely complicated.


    When he saw Shane before, Benny wanted to challenge him directly.


    After all, if you can''t defeat this mysterious dark ice, how can you still defeat Xia En?


    However, this sudden momentum made Benny swallow his words hard.


    —He seems to be really unbeatable!


    After coming to this judgment, Benny suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration and depression in his heart.


    In the military, he had almost never met anyone of his own age who could get along with him.


    Who would have thought that two guys who could easily defeat him would suddenly appear at this time!


    Benny secretly said, "This male and this female are all monsters!"


    at the same time.


    The focus of everyone''s attention.


    Looking at Xia En in front of him, feeling the vast and profound momentum, An Bing''s expression changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh.


    "Sorry, Captain Shane, I was impulsive."


    "However, even if I really challenge you, I won''t be your opponent."


    "I will explain it to you carefully about [Instant Time]."


    An Bing said after looking at the people watching around him.


    "This is not the place to talk, Captain Shane, please come with me."


    With that said, An Bing turned around and walked towards a barracks, and Xia En followed immediately.


    Although they didn''t see the two fighting, some onlookers were a little disappointed.


    But the aura that Xia En exuded earlier also made people realize that another legendary top powerhouse was born.


    This news is bound to spread within a small area.


    It also makes the name of the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En, remembered by more people!


    Similarly, due to the appearance of An Bing and Xia En, as well as Benny''s defeat, the soldiers knew that there were strong men and geniuses outside the army who should not be underestimated.


    The somewhat arrogant atmosphere among the federal regular army has also been somewhat restrained.


    Finally, Moritz''s request was fulfilled in another way.


    …


    …


    After entering this closed barracks.


    An Bing first glanced at Joey behind Xia En.


    Noticing her gaze, Xia En immediately understood what she meant and said directly: "It doesn''t matter."


    "Joy is someone I trust completely."


    "If it''s something you can tell me, there''s no need to hide it from her." Hearing this, Joey couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Xia En with growing attachment.


    After hearing Xia En''s words and seeing Joey''s expression, An Bing understood everything immediately.


    There was a little envy in her expression.


    "So you have this kind of relationship..."


    "It''s nice to have someone I can trust completely, unlike me and Sal..."


    Halfway through his words, An Bing closed his mouth as if he knew he had made a mistake, as if he didn''t want to talk about this topic again.


    Xia En felt itchy.


    In his life, he hated people who spoke half-talk. Wasn''t this deliberately arousing people''s curiosity and irresponsible?


    An Bing composed himself and continued.


    "Captain Shane, I apologize again for my actions just now."


    "In fact, this [moment of time] means so much to me that I lost my composure for a moment."


    "Also, I also learned from Irina how you woke me up. Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you."


    After saying that, An Bing bowed deeply to Xia En.


    Given her noble status as a princess, she had almost never done such a thing.


    For her, this not only requires a lot of courage, but also requires letting go of her former pride.


    However, An Bing still did this.


    Seeing this scene, Xia En changed his mind about Princess Dayan.


    She would want to take away [the moment of time], probably not because her personality is relieved, but really just a moment of excitement.


    Xia En said after accepting An Bing''s salute calmly.


    "Let''s not talk about the past."


    "More than this, I want to know, how much do you know about this pocket watch?"


    An Bing did not mince words and said directly: "Actually, this pocket watch named [Snap Time] is actually my mother''s relic."


    "…Um?"


    Upon hearing this, Xia En suddenly raised his eyebrows.


    "Your mother''s relics? This..."


    This sentence really surprised Xia En.


    He had guessed the origin of [Instant Time] several times, but An Bing''s statement was something he had never expected.


    As far as Xia En knew, [The Moment of Time] was a relic used by the king of the Shuton Kingdom to prevent the royal family members from turning into coral.


    However, it is obvious that it did not originally belong to King Shuton, but was obtained by the Kingdom of Shuton by some kind of chance.


    But even so, from the [Ultra North] where [Great Yan Kingdom] is located to the Kingdom of Shuton on the mainland, it is too far a distance, right?


    An Bing didn''t care about Xia En''s reaction, but continued to talk to himself.


    "The matter actually starts with the marriage between our family and King Xin..."


    "Marriage?"


    Xia En raised his eyebrows again.


    But when I thought about it, it was actually normal for a king like King Xin to get married.


    Free love is almost impossible to exist.


    But what about the family An Bing lives in?


    "Captain Shane, you may have noticed..."


    "The ability I use is completely different from King Xin''s secret power of fire. It can even be said to be two completely different extremes."


    When talking about the past, An Bing''s expression was extremely complicated, with a touch of sadness in his tone.


    "This has something to do with the family I come from."


    "Unlike King Xin and other people who were exiled to the [Ultra North], my family is the aboriginal people of the [Ultra North]."


    "At that time, people on the mainland called us the [Ice Clan] and the [People of Ice and Snow]."


    "Our people naturally have the ability to control cold and get close to ice and snow. The [Ultra North], a land of ice and snow, is our paradise and holy land of practice."


    Hearing this, Xia En was shocked.


    This was also the first time he had heard of the title "People of Ice and Snow".


    But if you think about it carefully, it is normal for the aboriginal people to exist in the Far North.


    Just like the Inuit in high latitudes in their previous lives.


    And since he was an aborigine, Xia En could probably guess what happened next.


    "However, as time goes by, batches of outsiders come to [the Far North]."


    "At first, our family didn''t care about this. The refugees who were exiled here were often unable to adapt to the environment of [the Far North]. Those who were lucky enough to survive could only establish smaller villages and gathering places."


    "We even helped them out of sympathy."


    There was a hint of sarcasm in An Bing''s expression.


    "Originally, this situation might last for many years."


    "Until...a man appears."


    “That man was burning with fire, burning himself like firewood, bringing warmth to people, and leading them to open up a new home in [the Far North].”


    "As time passed, people gathered around him, becoming more and more numerous and powerful."


    “From a village to a town to a country.”


    "And those who follow him truly respect him and call him..."


    "[Salary King]!"


    Speaking of this, An Bing''s tone became extremely complicated.


    “Honestly, our family never thought they would grow as fast as they did.”


    "So much so that when we first realized the threat of King Xin, the country called [Great Yan] had already become an existence that we could hardly resist."


    Joey on the side couldn''t help but be a little confused.


    "Resist? Why resist?"


    “Isn’t it a good thing to have a prosperous country in [the Far North]?”


    An Bing replied: "For ordinary people, this is indeed a good thing."


    "But for our family, the emergence of [Great Yan Kingdom] has caused the temperature in the entire [Far North] to rise, and the ice and snow have begun to melt."


    "In the eyes of the elders in the family, this is even more of a sacrilege!"


    "They believe that [King Xin] and [Great Yan Kingdom] have destroyed the environment of [Far North] and polluted their homeland."


    "They even wanted to take action against [Great Yan Kingdom] and destroy this new country."


    "However, after King Xin once visited the family alone at night, the old people became more honest one after another and recognized the gap between the family and [Dayan]."


    Xia En''s mouth twitched when he heard this.


    "Visiting the family at night alone?"


    It was hard for him to imagine that the kind and cheerful Yan Yan in his impression would do such an arrogant and arrogant act.


    However, if it were the salary king in that photo, maybe that’s what he would do, right?


    Judging from the reaction of the Anbing family, it seems that King Xin has really managed to suppress the entire family by himself?


    However, it is obvious that this crude approach will undoubtedly leave some hidden dangers.


    An Bing nodded and said.


    "Yeah, just like you thought."


    "Since then, the hostility within the family towards [Great Yan Kingdom] and King Xin has not been eliminated."


    "It was precisely to make King Xin relax his vigilance that this marriage came about."
