Chapter 211: Chapter 193: Anomalous Incident

After making his decision, Jeming acted decisively, directly removing his disguise, and the massive “Great Light Appearance” suddenly manifested in the snowstorm!

Thousands of Talisman Witchcraft artifacts poured down like a torrential storm, instantly covering the entire gathering place!

The massive explosions caused by the dense Energy Bullets resonated through Ice Valley, accompanied by the Yetis’ shrill screams.

Faced with the sudden attack, the Yetis had no time to organize an effective counterattack, and they fell in droves under Jeming’s terrifying and precise firepower, turning into dancing ice crystals and dust.

With no High Tier units to obstruct, Jeming’s destructive power was fully realized.

Just like previous purges, Jeming resolved the battle swiftly and efficiently!

In less than five minutes, this once bustling Yeti gathering place was left with only ice shards and a few complete Ice Crystal Cores.

Jeming seized the moment to once again perform a Soul Search, extracting and deeply analyzing every complete Yeti Soul in this gathering place.

He needed to find out what exactly happened here, and where all the strong individuals of the gathering place went!

Soon, from these Yetis, especially from that sole Second Level Yeti, he got a non-answer of an answer from the depths of their souls.

The memories of these Yetis were filled with an almost fanatical premonition of a “summoning.”

Beforehand, all Second Level and higher Yetis in this gathering place were summoned by a mysterious and powerful force to the deeper core area of the Frost Dark Realm.

The entire gathering place, including the surrounding small strongholds, was left with only a scarce number of First Level Yetis.

This Second Level Yeti stayed because it independently evolved into a Second Level after the summoning.

But also because this Second Level Yeti had just recently advanced, it had not acquired any other high-level core intelligence before being summoned.

Its memories contained only the vague and irresistible “summoning” force and the indistinct imagery of all the high-level Yetis surging into the depths like a tidal wave.

“Summoning command…” Jeming felt a chill in his heart.

This was not good news.

Such a sudden large-scale summoning meant something big must have happened inside the Frost Dark Realm!

Moreover, it likely wasn’t small in scale and could possibly affect the whole Plane’s warfare!

Since the Frost Dark Realm and Flame Sun Realm have no visible sky changes, estimating the time could only rely on other intelligence.

Based on scattered memory fragments from these Yetis, it seems not much time has passed since this summoning command was issued, possibly just a few standard days!

Quickly finishing up with the spoils from this gathering place, Jeming headed outside, feeling a bit lost as he gazed at the swirling snowstorm.

Standing in the middle of the cleared Ice Valley, looking afar, the vast expanse of white snow and ice cliffs seemed all the more unfathomable.

The intelligence he held was extremely limited, making it impossible to determine the exact situation inside the Frost Dark Realm.

Venturing without caution could lead him straight into the core defense circle of the Yetis, or even into a colossal conspiracy!

Most importantly, because the Second Level Yeti in this gathering place had only recently advanced, it knew nothing about the other gathering places and the detailed deployment further inland of the Frost Dark Realm.

“I cannot go any further forward.” Jeming quickly made his judgment.

With insufficient intelligence, pressing forward would only plunge him into peril.

He hesitated not a bit, gathering all his aura and energy fluctuations, and turned to exit the emptied Yeti gathering place.

He quickly categorized all his findings, conjectures, and the limited intelligence obtained from that sole Second Level Yeti’s soul.

Preparing to retreat to the outpost as fast as possible and report this intelligence.

…

…

The cold metal walls blocked out the howling wind and snow outside, making the inside of the outpost warm as spring.

Jeming stood in front of the communication terminal, compiling everything he had just discovered at the Yeti gathering place—including the bizarre disappearance of the high-level Yetis and the vague “summoning” information from that newly advanced Second Level Yeti—into a detailed intelligence report, which he submitted through an encrypted channel.

The one in charge of receiving the intelligence and communicating with him was a pale-faced Second Level Wizard draped in a heavy Magic Robe from earlier.

His name was Edgar, and he seemed a bit bored from being stationed for too long in this isolated outpost.

For this new “visitor,” especially one capable of bringing back frontline intelligence like Jeming, he seemed particularly eager to communicate.

“Oh? You discovered this too?” Edgar said, looking at the information Jeming submitted on the screen, a hint of realization on his pale face.

Pointing at the description about “High Tier Yeti being summoned,” he said, “Similar pieces of intelligence have already appeared sporadically for days. But back then, it was just an isolated case, and we thought it was normal troop movements within the Yetis.”

“But over the past two days, the number of such reports has been rapidly increasing, with almost all wizard squads on missions reporting similar situations.”

He casually swiped a few times on the light screen, pulling up several processed intelligence summaries to show Jeming.

The content was more or less the same, all indicating an abnormal vacancy of high-tier combat forces in different Yeti gathering areas.

“So, the command center already issued a corresponding exploration mission a couple of days ago,” Edgar continued to explain, “telling all wizards operating in this area to focus their attention on investigating this matter. Your intelligence adds strong evidence to this task.”

Edgar picked up a steaming beverage, took a sip, and seemed to be in high spirits: “Also, I was just discussing with colleagues from other outposts.”

“From their feedback, the range of this incident is quite large, covering almost all of the currently explored Frost Dark Realm border areas. So, we privately speculate that this might even implicitly indicate the entire Frost Dark Realm has encountered the same situation.”

“The entire Frost Dark Realm…” Jeming repeated thoughtfully.

If this were true, the implications would be immense.

This is not a simple military maneuver but more akin to a massive event affecting the entire Yeti civilization.

“Indeed,” Edgar shrugged, “so, I estimate that in another two days, when elite squads bringing back more precise intelligence, the camp over there should issue an official full-army notification or deploy a large-scale strategic task. At that time, we stationed personnel will probably get busy as well.”

Listening to Edgar’s analysis, Jeming thought of another matter.

Now that the Frost Dark Realm is showing such a strange upheaval, although the specific reasons are unknown, has something also happened in the Flame Sun Realm, which has always coexisted with the Frost Dark Realm?

A bold guess arose in his heart.

Jeming pondered for a moment, then returned to the communication terminal to request access from Edgar:

“Sir Edgar, may I use the equipment here to send a short message to the camp’s wizards? I want to verify something.”

“Of course, go ahead,” Edgar readily agreed, “this equipment is meant as a benefit for you wizards out on missions.”

Jeming adeptly operated the equipment and sent an encrypted message to Viola at the main camp on the border using the outpost’s more powerful remote communication gear.

The message was simple; he briefly described the situation of collective disappearances of high-tier Yetis in the Frost Dark Realm and then asked her to help confirm whether the Magma Giant camps in the Flame Sun Realm were experiencing similar situations.

After sending the message, Jeming did not just wait idly.

He continued the conversation with Edgar, turning their discussion to a mutual interest—the biological research of Yetis.

Jeming shared some of his findings from the lab, concerning dissection and energy structure analysis, cross-referenced with Edgar’s practical experience as a front-line wizard. Their conversation was lively, and time passed unnoticed.

As they discussed the energy transformation efficiency of Yeti ice crystal cores, the communication terminal suddenly emitted a light “ding” sound.

Viola had replied!

Jeming’s heart stirred as he immediately went to check.

On the light screen, a line of concise text appeared, immediately confirming the bold conjecture in his mind.

“Confirmed from the mission center. The high-tier units of the Magma Giants have also experienced a large-scale disappearance, identical to the situation you described at the Yeti camp! Currently, only a large amount of low-tier Magma Giants are active in the Flame Sun Realm!”

“Just as expected…” he murmured to himself.

It was not a unilateral anomaly but a dual-realm link!

The Magma Giants of the Flame Sun Realm and the Yetis of the Frost Dark Realm, two civilizations that are mortal enemies, have simultaneously made almost identical strategic deployments!

They both withdrew all their high-tier combat forces from the vast borderlines, gathering entirely at the depths of their respective planes!

This was definitely not a coincidence!

“Something earth-shaking must have happened in the Ice and Flame Plane…” Jeming could now confirm this with absolute certainty.

Yet he still couldn’t discern what this significant event was.

Are they both preparing for a final battle with the wizards over the ownership of the plane?

Or have they together discovered a deeper threat requiring a joint effort to counter?

Or is it some cycle-related ritual or event connected to the plane itself?

Countless possibilities flashed through Jeming’s mind, but he knew that, with his current level of access and intelligence, he couldn’t possibly deduce the truth.

However, for Jeming personally, this was rather a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Before the storm across the entire plane erupts and before the Wizard Legion makes a large-scale response, the entire border area will fall into an unprecedented “power vacuum.”

Numerous Yeti gathering places are now in a leaderless state, with their defensive forces at a historic low.
