Ji Fengyan couldn’t help frowning after hearing Lu Shaoqing’s words. The sudden materialization of so many demons was just not possible. If the demons were really that powerful, how could the border army defend against their attack?
“Did you really not discover anything strange at all?” Ji Fengyan persisted.
Lu Shaoqing knew this was important. The demons had ambushed them again, but they still got no leads. Even if Ji Fengyan beat them back this time, what about the next time?
Lu Shaoqing summoned all the veteran soldiers who had experienced both battles. He had everyone give their own views to see if they could uncover anything suspicious.
“Clues… we are also not very sure. But there was something weird. For a period before the demon ambush, the temperature of the entire army camp had turned freezing.” One of the old-timers hesitated before speaking up.
“The low temperature was probably because of that ice frozen beast. But…” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. She queried a few of the other soldiers before suddenly realizing something peculiar.
Nearly all the veteran soldiers had the same experience. But the strange thing was that their positions on both nights were different. If the ice frozen beast had attacked from one side, it could not have caused the temperatures of the entire campgrounds to drop so low.
“Who knows from which direction the demons appeared during the first attack?” Ji Fengyan suddenly asked.
One soldier pointed toward the back of the camp, at the warehouse where they stored their rations.
“I think that the first fatality came from there.”
Ji Fengyan said, “Let’s go look.”
The crowd hurried to keep up with Ji Fengyan as they headed to the rations warehouse.
The warehouse was situated in a secluded spot. Behind it was a large piece of empty land and beyond that a wall built along the sides of the mountain. At one part, the mountain itself was integrated into the wall.
Ji Fengyan walked right up to the mountain—it was made up entirely of milky-white rocks. However, Ji Fengyan felt that there was something weird and reached out to touch it.
The moment she made contact, an icy feeling spread throughout her hand.
Ji Fengyan’s eyes shifted as she suddenly made a fist and punched the hard surface!
It dumbfounded the troops. Thinking that the General was lashing out in frustration from the lack of clues - they were just about to stop her, when…
Ji Fengyan’s punch cracked the hard surface of the mountain rocks. Fine lines radiated from the point of impact and a clear, shattering sound resonated as transparent, crystal-like shards broke apart and fell to the ground. The pieces instantly melted into slush on the floor.
“This… this is ice?” Lu Shaoqing stepped forward in astonishment and picked off a finger-sized piece of ice from the mountain.
Ji Fengyan suddenly understood.
“The demons didn’t just appear out of thin air. They just made use of the abilities of that ice frozen beast. They had already burrowed through this mountain a long time ago, and just needed to just break this weak wall of ice right before the attack.” Ji Fengyan smiled as she looked at the ice remnants on her hand.
