Hesitating for a moment, Helen gathered her courage and asked again, "Is what you’re saying true, Waldo?"

Waldo could only smile bitterly. "Could I deceive you? It’s true! Even I am surprised! The material of the Crimson Flame Spear is actually very special, with tremendous potential. Perhaps I haven’t fully unleashed its power yet!"

The two women were slightly astonished.

At the same time, they quickly felt happy for Waldo.

With such a divine weapon by his side, the already formidable Waldo became even more invincible!

In reality, the super sea monster was truly extraordinary. Even now, Waldo wasn’t necessarily a match for that sea monster.

Waldo was well aware of this fact.

Even now, going all out, he could only tickle the opponent.

Afterward, the three of them discussed the recent situation.

In recent times, there had been significant changes.

The entire ice world seemed to be inevitably undergoing some changes.

The amount of snow was rapidly increasing.

Moreover, the active areas of the snow creatures were getting closer and closer to human inhabitation areas.

Apart from that, the Snow Beast Lord would occasionally make appearances.

It could be said that this world was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Human survival was facing more and more challenges.

Waldo worried, "If that’s all, it wouldn’t be much. What I fear is the appearance of even stronger snow creatures. At that time, if numerous snow creatures are united by highly intelligent ones, it would be a disaster for us!"

Even with the tallest city walls in Dawn City, it would be difficult to resist!

The two women nodded in agreement.

Typical snow creatures, even Snow Beast Lords, are truly powerless in front of Dawn City’s grand and towering walls. There’s no way they could breach Dawn City no matter what. The fear lies in the possibility of even more formidable snow creatures appearing.

Helen sighed and said, "According to the usual pattern, with the increase in snow creatures and Snow Beast Lords, there will definitely be more powerful snow creatures emerging, just like zombies, increasing in level!"

Waldo nodded.

Indeed, that’s how it goes.

"Next, we might face a serious test and must be fully prepared." Helen continued.

For some reason, Waldo had a premonition. Perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, cities everywhere would face a massive disaster of snow creatures.

"I feel that the opportunity for me to break through level 100 is related to this crisis," Waldo thought to himself but didn’t voice it. "Crisis is also an opportunity."

At this moment, Waldo’s expression changed slightly.

"Hmm? Interesting. The global power ranking is going to be updated again?!" However, Waldo only paid slight attention to this ranking and didn’t dwell on it. For him, the ranking held little significance.

The gap between him and others was too great.

At least for the short term, no one could surpass him.

The so-called global power ranking was simply not worth the attention.

However, he was a bit curious and asked Alanna and Helen, "What’s your ranking?"

In the end, the two women were reluctant to tell him.

After some coaxing, Waldo finally found out why they didn’t want to disclose their rankings.

Surprisingly, not only had their rankings not improved, but they had also dropped slightly.

Waldo sneered.

The two women felt ashamed!

Although Waldo didn’t often check the rankings, in reality, he was the only one who didn’t care much about them. Others were basically eagerly awaiting the updates.

Some just wanted to know if there were any changes in the rankings.

Others wanted to know if they had progressed and their current strength’s global ranking.

In essence, almost no one could escape this interest.

Except for Waldo.

As the global second-ranked powerhouse, Lees always kept a close eye on changes in the rankings.

He was a superbeing ranked second in global power, far ahead of the third position. In theory, he was on par with Waldo and should have been frequently compared to him.

However, in reality, hardly anyone paid much attention to him. Waldo’s radiance was just too dazzling, completely overshadowing him.

No one had ever compared him to Waldo. They were never mentioned in the same breath. It was as if he and Waldo were not from the same world, not on the same level.

He was the second-ranked individual globally! For Lees, this was a massive humiliation. It was disgrace!

However, from today onwards, everything would change. Because the global first position would be mine!

"Waldo, you have become a thing of the past!"

In this moment, a blazing determination ignited in Lees’ eyes. He was filled with immense confidence. Because, not long ago, he had boldly plundered the experience points of other survivors and successfully raised his level to ninety. He was now on par with Waldo in terms of level.

"The level difference isn’t significant, but my strength is definitely superior," Lees confidently stated.

His formidable strength was not only evident in his level but also in his exceptionally rich combat experience and outstanding skills.

He believed that defeating Waldo was not a problem. Not to mention, just a day ago, he had killed three Snow Beast Lords in one go!

These were Snow Beast Lords!

They not only had strength and speed far beyond regular snow creatures but also emitted malevolent auras that could have various negative effects on the body and mind, along with the ability to manipulate ice and snow.

A Snow Beast Lord was even stronger than initially estimated, equivalent to a top ten-ranked expert!

And he had killed three Snow Beast Lords in one go.

"I can kill three Snow Beast Lords in one go. I wonder who else in this world can do that? Can Waldo?" It’s very doubtful!

"This time, I will undoubtedly be the global first in the rankings," Lees whispered to himself.

He was eagerly looking forward to the update of the global power rankings.

Soon, the time for the rankings to be revealed arrived.

Feeling excited and full of anticipation, Lees had no choice but to wait patiently.

Before long, the rankings appeared.

But Lees suddenly froze!

Impossible!

Lees widened his eyes, staring intently at Waldo, who was ranked first.

His eyes felt like they could shoot fire!

Killed nine Snow Beast Lords?!

"Waldo, you just wait. In the future, I will surpass you!" Lees roared.

Outside, many guards heard the roar and turned pale.

Lees is truly a madman. Being his guard is a worrisome and fearful task. Waldo remains completely unaware of how Lees is.

Ever since the arrival of the Lunar Alliance, Dawn City has become much livelier. At this time, reconnaissance teams occasionally venture out of Dawn City to track the movements of the snow creatures in the snowfields. This is mainly a precaution.

As expected, they soon deduced a pattern. The areas of snow creature activity are increasingly close to Dawn City. The number of snow creatures and Snow Beast Lords is rapidly rising.

There have even been reports of significantly larger groups of snow creatures. This was a rare sight in the past. Most of the time, snow creatures usually acted alone, and there were seldom large groups.

Regarding this, Waldo looked grave. The snow creatures in the past were more like lone wolves, not posing a significant threat. However, the current snow creatures seemed different. They were forming organized and disciplined groups.

Subsequently, Waldo gazed in the direction of the snowfields and speculated, "Could there really be snow creatures even more formidable than Snow Beast Lords?"

For now, this question was destined to remain unanswered.

Time passed, and one day followed another. Waldo’s sense of impending crisis was gradually increasing, growing more and more uneasy.

Finally, on this day, Waldo, having accumulated a significant amount of survival points, decided to conduct an Infinite Supplies Draw.

He didn’t know what he would get.

There was a touch of apprehension in Waldo’s heart.

In the end, he spent all his saved survival points, conducting three Upgraded Draws and one Supreme Draw.

Unfortunately, the contents of the first three chests were not what Waldo wanted – binoculars, eight-power scopes, and the like. In this era, they were of little use and offered minimal assistance to Waldo.

Finally, the time came to open the last Epic-grade chest.

"Hopefully, it will satisfy me," Waldo prayed.

Hope for a miracle to happen.

[Do you want to open the chest?]

Open!

[Congratulations! You have obtained an epic-level weapon equipment, the Infinite Laser Cannon!]

Waldo: !!!

At first, he was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized what had happened and couldn’t help but feel extremely excited.

The Infinite Laser Cannon? This is a fantastic piece of equipment!

Waldo exclaimed, "Compared to conventional artillery or rocket launchers, the biggest advantage of the laser cannon is its pinpoint accuracy! Regular projectiles have a hard time hitting snow creatures because they move too fast, easily evading them. Unless there’s artillery cover, it’s almost impossible to hit them. Moreover, this laser cannon seems to be different from what I had in mind, it’s very advanced, even futuristic!"

The sky was filled with snowflakes. The cold wind howled, and the snowflakes danced in the wind.

A reconnaissance team from Dawn City was investigating something in the snowfields. Their mission was to track the movements of snow creatures and provide early warnings.

Soon, their day’s work was coming to an end.

"This time, we’ve found more tracks and even spotted several snow creatures from a distance. It seems that the number of snow creatures is rapidly increasing, making this world increasingly dangerous," someone sighed.

This person was the captain of this reconnaissance team.

Their mission was about to conclude.

Driving their snowmobiles, they were getting ready to return.

The captain glanced back at the vast snowy landscape, feeling unusually uneasy at this moment. Therefore, he urged the others to quickly get on the snowmobiles and leave.

Soon, they embarked on their way back.

The captain felt a bit more at ease.

However, they hadn’t traveled far when they arrived at a narrow and steep place, with high terrain on both sides and a narrow passage in the middle – their only way through.

At this moment, the captain suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his sense of unease skyrocketed.

He abruptly looked up!

His eyes widened to their maximum!

In an instant, there was a deafening roar in his head!
