The dim sun emitted a buzzing sound and soared towards the sky, disappearing into the horizon after a few flashes.
The events in the northern ice plains were no longer relevant to Xu Qing and the others as the sun departed.
Time flowed and very soon, a day passed.
In the sky of the Moon Worship Region, a blurry ball of light was moving rapidly, and it possessed a concealment power that allowed it to move silently.
This light cluster was formed by the overlapping of five large rings.
The five rings were engraved with densely-packed runes that flickered according to a certain pattern, and they interlocked and rotated rapidly, emitting a radiant glow. At the center of the five rings, a golden meteorite was floating.
The light it emitted was absorbed and magnified by the five rings outside, forming light and heat.
On the golden meteorite, there were also some exquisite buildings, and the captain was lying on the roof of a building. His expression was quite strange, sometimes sighing, sometimes resolute, and sometimes gritting his teeth.
It was obvious that Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu had been here before, so they weren't curious about their surroundings. They lay sprawled on the ground and recalled the events on the icy plains with lingering fear. The treasure skin was thrown to the side.
Xu Qing stood in the distance and stared at his surroundings.
He knew the origin of this artificial sun.
What made him curious was how this item was made.
Just as Xu Qing was observing carefully, the captain's faint voice rang out from the distant rooftop.
"Have the two of you rested enough? Hurry up and put away my precious skin. If this continues, it'll dry up!"
Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan sighed. They got up and walked toward the treasure skin, rolling it up.
Xu Qing noticed their actions and walked over.
Xu Qing could tell that something was amiss with the captain earlier and knew the reason. However, he didn't care. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.
Back then, it was the same in the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar. According to Xu Qing's judgment, the captain needed some time to work on his emotional recovery.
"Is this your goal in coming here?" After he got close to Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu, Xu Qing looked at the skin and noticed the imprinted fingerprints on it.
Wu Jianwu nodded weakly. Ning Yan, still in awe of Xu Qing, quickly spoke up.
"Yes, Boss, this is the goal we've been pursuing since Senior Brother Erniu led us away," he said, glancing over at the captain.
When the captain in the distance heard this, he sighed again.
Xu Qing blinked and spoke in a deep voice.
"This skin isn't bad!"
Ning Yan hesitated but still spoke in a low voice.
"It's not bad… This is Senior Brother Erniu's skin. He asked me and Big Jianjian to skin him more than ten times…"
"Even Big Jianjian was shaken."
Xu Qing fell silent. He knew the captain was crazy, but he hadn't expected him to go to such lengths and utilize all of his advantages in such a rational manner.
The captain noticed Xu Qing's expression and couldn't help but feel smug. Just as he was about to speak, he thought of how his meager loot couldn't be compared to the world fragment and sighed again.
He felt that his skin had been peeled for nothing…
Hence, determination appeared in his eyes and he abruptly sat up. His expression was deep as he looked at Xu Qing and calmly spoke.
"Little Qing!"
Xu Qing's expression was serious as he looked at the captain.
"Little Qing, this time was just a small demonstration by your senior brother. Next, we'll go to Heavenly Bull Mountain, and I'll show you how amazing I used to be in the past!"
When Xu Qing heard this, his expression changed and he put on a look of anticipation.
Seeing Xu Qing like this, the captain instantly felt comfortable. He stood up and placed his hands behind his back. He first glanced at Wu Jianwu before lifting his head to look at the distant world.
"Don't judge the day by the evening, let's see who's even more amazing tomorrow morning!"
Wu Jianwu spoke helplessly.
