"Huh?"
The tall woman tilted her head, her gaze landing on Lin Mo and Yingzi with a hint of surprise, which quickly vanished, leaving only cold indifference.
"This is Lin, and this is Jian. Both of them, like Lady Feng, are Huaxia people." Camper stopped and introduced Lin Mo and Yingzi.
"Lin, this Lady Feng is our Golden Master, and she is the one who issued this mission."
Camper continued.
Lin Mo looked at the other party, who had black hair and black eyes, with so of the typical features of Asians.
"Are you Huaxia?" Suddenly, she asked in Huaxia Language.
"Yes."
Lin Mo nodded.
"I'm also Huaxia, and haven't been ho for a long ti. Seeing compatriots in Snow City feels good. Let introduce myself, I am Shen Feng."
Shen Feng is definitely not her real na, just like many people use pseudonyms while traveling, like Lin Mo's other na Lin Tanyu.
"I am Lin Mo." Lin Mo said, and simultaneously, he released his Divine Thought, enveloping Shen Feng's entire body. Her strength was at the Early-stage Innate, which was impressive for soone so young; she might be a mber of a legacy family, a core disciple of a large sect, or have a powerful master behind her.
Because not everyone could be like Lin Mo, reborn, being their own teacher.
With Lin Mo's Divine Thought intensity, even probing Shen Feng up close caused no perception on her part.
However, at this mont, Lin Mo sensed that the piece of wooden token in his Space Ring began to glow green.
"Could this Shen Feng really be related to Qionglong Taoist? The reaction yesterday was due to Camper's group having contact with her?"
Lin Mo pondered internally, but given the current circumstances, it was impossible to ask straightforwardly. Lin Mo wasn't sure of the nature of Shen Feng's connection to Qionglong Taoist, even if there was a connection.
"Leader, the War Axe rcenary Corps Group of thirty mbers has gathered completely!"
Leo approached Camper and said in a deep voice.
"Good, let's get ready to depart. It's fifty kiloters from here to the ice plateau border, we should get there in an hour."
Camper replied.
Leaving Snow City for the edge of the Siberian Ice Field, within fifty kiloters, the weather is harsh and the terrain treacherous, hence the vehicle speed isn't fast and can only move slowly. However, an hour is quite sufficient.
Lin Mo and Yingzi got into a jeep, and the convoy drove out of Snow City.
"Lady Shen Feng, I'm not sure of the task this ti because I recently t Camper and joined at his invitation without asking the details."
Due to everyone being Huaxia, Shen Feng invited Lin Mo and Yingzi to ride with her in the sa vehicle.
"Camper hasn't told you?" Shen Feng furrowed her brow, then said, "It's not really a secret. My task this ti is to hunt an s-level Ice Plain Giant Bear; I need its ice source crystal."
"S-level?"
Lin Mo furrowed his Sword Eyebrow, showing a puzzled look on his face.
"Perhaps Camper didn't ntion it to you."
Shen Feng lightly smiled, like winter sunlight. At least it wasn't as aloof on the surface, making her approachable.
"The global revival of Spiritual Energy has led to many beasts dwelling in forests, ice fields, and mountains mutating, evolving into more powerful fierce beasts."
Shen Feng remarked casually. Lin Mo was aware that the less populated areas had more Spiritual Energy, which nourished the beasts living there, or they accidentally entered Ancient Ruins or Secret Realms, consuming Divine Grass or Divine Fruits, causing mutations, evolving into ferocious beasts.
"Similarly, the Siberian Ice Field has such conditions, so it has attracted many rcenary groups and bounty hunters to hunt the beasts, obtaining their crystal cores, pelts, teeth, essence blood, and various materials in exchange for wealth." "Fierce beasts are classified into five levels, ....; s-level beasts are equivalent to human Condensation Stage or Moon Wheel Realm; m-level beasts are at Mid-stage of Condensation; h-level are at Late-stage Condensation, and beyond, King Level beasts, almost encountering King level beasts is a certain death."
After Shen Feng's explanation, Lin Mo understood that this ti Shen Feng was preparing to hunt an s-level Ice Plain Giant Bear, to obtain its snow and ice crystal core for crafting so Magic Artifact.
However, what puzzled Lin Mo the most was that Shen Feng, with only Early-stage Innate strength, aiming to hunt a beast equivalent to Early-stage Condensation seed quite challenging.
Despite inviting the War Axe rcenary Corps to assist, hunting such level beasts was extrely difficult.
Within the War Axe rcenary Corps Group, only Leo, who carried a battle axe on his back, was slightly stronger. As for the Leader Camper, and strategist Jin Niya, they only had the strength of the Star Wheel Mirror.
So of the other mbers hadn't even reached the Star Wheel Realm, making it extrely difficult for such a team to capture or hunt s-level beasts, especially in the advantageous terrain for beasts like the ice plateau.
"If I were more familiar with the ice zone situation, I wouldn't even need to invite them." Shen Feng shrugged her shoulders casually.
Lin Mo smiled faintly, saying no more.
Shen Feng appeared extrely confident, evidently possessing so trump cards, or sufficiently confident to hunt s-level beasts.
An hour later.
The car stopped.
Lin Mo and Yingzi followed others out, their gaze t with endless white expanse, white, boundless white.
Cold, piercing cold.
The wind slashed like knives across their faces.
Lin Mo and Yingzi were enveloped in a thin layer of True Essence Qi Shield, blocking the biting, knife-like cold wind.
"Lady Shen Feng, the s-level beast you're aiming to hunt generally appears in Third Zone. However, vehicles can't enter; we must proceed on foot." Camper approached Shen Feng, explaining.
"Can't we fly there?"
Shen Feng furrowed her Liu Xia eyebrows, questioning.
Camper chuckled, responding, "Lady Shen Feng, it might be your first ti at the Ice Plateau, you might not understand. Anyone daring to fly is courting death."
"Hmm?"
Shen Feng's gaze turned cold, seemingly dissatisfied with Camper's tone. "Lady Shen Feng, I an no disrespect, but the ice plateau has not only ground beasts but also aerial beasts, and flying quickly reveals our location to them. The beasts in the ice plateau aren't friendly towards us, and once the ground beasts get wind, they'll attack us as well." Camper elaborated.
"Alright, we'll walk in."
Shen Feng contemplated for a mont and said, "Let's hurry up, once the task is completed, I won't skimp on your commission."
"Camper and the War Axe rcenary Corps are happy to serve you."
Camper's lips curled into a warm smile, slightly bowing in a gentlemanly salute.
Lin Mo and Yingzi followed behind the main group.
Everyone advanced toward the snowy land, snowflakes and ice grain swirled in the hurricane, the temperature at minus fifty degrees. Ordinary people couldn't survive in such a place, even moderately powerful cultivators found it hard to endure.
At the sa ti, Lin Mo noticed Camper, Leo, Jin Niya, and a few other mbers of the rcenary group wearing black armor, covering their entire bodies, exposing only their eyes. Lin Mo had seen such black armor in the lbourne Black Market.
It's a high-tech battle suit, providing defense, resisting heat and cold, and significantly boosting fighters' strength. Judging from the style, it should be first-generation black armor, with a black market price of about three hundred top-grade spiritual stones.
