This place was completely beyond the Shadow of the city. It was an utterly desolate area, a true no-man's land, where not even plants had ever existed, let alone buildings.
With Jing Shu's night vision ability, she could see that the area was covered in deep snow. Since it had never been managed, the snow had piled up several meters high. Fortunately, the extreme cold had turned the underlying snow into icy granules. Only the top layer, over a meter thick, would CRUNCH CRUNCH underfoot.
The giant insects struggled with every step, hindered by the snow's resistance and the heavy loads they carried. No other form of transportation was useful here; only these primitive giant insects could traverse the snowy terrain.
"This place is so primitive," Xiao Wei said, surprised, as the bright beam of her flashlight cut through the darkness. "It feels like it's never been developed."
