In the raging snowstorm, everyone continued to advance, the vast land making this group of people seem like re ants crawling across an imnse earth. After traveling for about five hours, oddly enough, they hadn't encountered a single fierce beast along the way, and the temperature had beco increasingly colder. So mbers of the rcenary Group with weaker abilities kept drinking hot fruit wine to maintain their body heat and replenish consud energy.
"Stop."
Camper, walking at the forefront, raised his hand and drew the sword from his waist, his face showing a grave expression.
"What's wrong, Leader Camper?"
Shen Feng's expression was indifferent, and she asked in confusion, "Have we reached the Third Zone?"
The Ice Plateau region was divided by the rcenary Guild into three zones: the First Zone, where Level mutated fierce beasts often appear; the Second Zone, where Level fierce beasts can be found; and the Third Zone, where Level, or even higher, Level mutated fierce beasts can occur.
The fierce beasts in the First and Second Zones attack in groups, forming small, dium, or large beast clusters, while in the Third Zone, the fierce beasts generally roam alone.
But these solitary fierce beasts are more dangerous than those in groups.
"Lady Shen Feng, we have entered the border of the Third Zone and need to remain vigilant at all tis."
Camper replied.
"Alright, in the Third Zone, Level Ice Plain Giant Bears frequently appear. As long as we don't go too deep into the heart of the zone, we should not encounter ss-level or sss-level fierce beasts." A hint of excitent appeared on the corner of Shen Feng's lips.
The purpose of inviting the rcenary Guild to take her into the Third Zone of the Ice Plateau was for the Crystal Core of the Ice Plain Giant Bear.
"Hmm, let us proceed, though everyone should stay alert since we don't know when a Level fierce beast might appear." Camper reminded again, gripping the Knight Sword tightly and slowly advancing forward.
After moving forward for about another kiloter, an Ice Valley region appeared before them, surrounded by steep ice walls, dotted with ice spikes piercing toward the sky, forming a bowl shape, with a transparent ice plateau below.
"Hmm?"
Lin Mo gazed into the distance of the Ice Valley, where there was a cloud of vibrant seven-colored light.
"Lin, that's a very ordinary Flowing Light. The magnetic field on the Ice Plateau is different from other places, and both the temperature and ice layers are unusual. Therefore, sotis, the light and magnetic field create this brilliant Flowing Light."
Jin Niya suddenly walked up to Lin Mo, explaining with a smile.
"Really?"
Lin Mo said indifferently, though feeling a peculiar sensation within, as if that distant Flowing Light held a kind of inexplicable allure and fear.
"Lady Shen Feng, if we want to hunt the Ice Plain Giant Bear, we can go down into the Ice Valley. According to the rcenary Guild's information, Ice Plain Giant Bears usually roam the outskirts of the Third Zone, and the Ice Valley is a place they often appear."
Camper stopped walking and spoke.
"Okay, then let's go down there."
Shen Feng nodded and was the first to leap down, her feet gathering Spiritual Energy, sliding swiftly down the steep ice wall, a spray of Ice Flowers splashing around her feet.
"Brothers, let's head down and complete this mission, then I'll take you out for so fun when we get back."
Camper boosted their morale.
Each mber of the rcenary Group either relied on the True Essence Spiritual Energy within them or used axes and daggers to pierce the ice wall, stabilize their bodies, and quickly slide towards the Ice Valley below.
"Yingzi, let's go down too."
Lin Mo said to Yingzi.
Yingzi nodded, and the two of them leaped off the ice wall, their feet stepping onto the steep ice wall. Due to their rapid descent, ice shards shot out from under their feet like two trails of white icy waves.
Monts later, everyone arrived at the foot of the Ice Plateau, standing on an ice sheet as reflective as a mirror.
"What's going on?"
Lin Mo's gaze once again fixated on the seven-colored light group approximately three kiloters away, as if haunted by a haunting sensation that was unperceivable to others.
"Everyone, be careful and search for the Ice Plain Giant Bear." Camper instructed, a hint of sinister glare flashing in his eyes.
Following Camper's route, everyone moved closer to the direction of the seven-colored light group.
With less than a kiloter remaining, Lin Mo finally saw that the place with the seven-colored light was, surprisingly, an ice cave about the size of an ordinary pond.
The entire Ice Plateau was underlain by a hundred-ter-thick layer of ice, smooth, cold, and incomparably hard, and the place looked as if it had been smashed open, revealing an ice cave shrouded in multicolored mist, where the water was not frozen by the Cold Energy.
"Master, isn't the light and mist here beautiful?"
Yingzi used True Qi to glide toward the ice cave, eager to observe the colorful ice cave up close, as these naturally vibrant and beautiful things held great attraction for girls.
"Be careful."
Lin Mo frowned and warned.
"Lin, you don't need to worry. Ice caves like this are common on the Ice Plateau, although we don't know why they appear. We've visited them before." Camper explained.
Lin Mo gave him a glance, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.
"Blazing Slash!" As Yingzi approached the ice cave, when she was about six hundred ters away, Leo suddenly drew the giant axe from his back, both arms gripping it tightly, muscles taut and bulging, emitting a crimson glow across his body. His strength surged to the maximum, swinging an axe that sent a crimson beam like a rainbow stretching toward the sun across the Ice Plateau.
Endlessly elongating...
The intense killing intent and energy emanated outwards, causing the ice to shatter continuously, forming a long Ice Gorge, while ice shards flew, creating white marks of ice spikes on either side.
"Courting death!"
Lin Mo's eyes erupted with intense brilliance, his face changing dramatically as he struck out with a powerful palm, his figure vanishing on the spot.
The direction of Leo's attack was precisely toward Yingzi, who was close to the ice cave. As the attack was launched, Yingzi sensed the strong attack aura behind her and instinctively drew the Purple-Blue Treasure Sword to block in front. The crimson axe energy collided with the Purple-Blue Treasure Sword, her face turning pale, her energy in disorder, unable to control her direction as she was sent flying backward rapidly.
Bam!
As Lin Mo struck, he sent Leo flying out with a single palm, furious with his strike. How could Leo withstand it? As his body flew mid-air, it suddenly exploded, turning into pieces of flesh that scattered on the pristine ice plateau, stark and glaring.
"Leo..."
Camper and Jin Niya were dumbfounded, Lin Mo managed to kill Leo with just one palm?
"Yingzi."
Lin Mo's eyes turned blood-red, threads of blood weaving madly, almost staining his pupils completely crimson.
He had long noticed Camper and his companions harbored ill intentions, simply regarding them as ants. If Yingzi were hard because of this, he'd never forgive himself.
Now, Lin Mo regretted not killing these people outright.
As Yingzi flew backward, she was less than a hundred ters from the ice cave. Suddenly, the seven-colored light within the ice cave, as if a carnivorous flower spotting prey, shot out tendrils of multicolored light, almost instantly spanning the space to entwine Yingzi, dragging her toward the ice cave.
"Get lost!" Lin Mo's Divine Thought erupted, transforming into a red line that severed all the seven-colored light wrapped around Yingzi.
Simultaneously, Lin Mo flew towards Yingzi, Spiritual Energy swirling to envelop her, forcefully sending her out.
The nurous severed seven-colored light strands flailed wildly in the air like detached tentacles, not retracting but, instead, lashing out more fiercely, instantly engulfing Lin Mo, dragging him toward the ice cave.
There was virtually no ti to react before Lin Mo was pulled into the Seven-Colored Ice Cave, disappearing without a trace.
All this happened swiftly, in re seconds.
"Master..."
Yingzi landed on the ice sheet after being thrust away, and seeing Lin Mo dragged into the ice cave by the seven-colored light, she cried out painfully.
Tears imdiately welled up, flooding her once lively eyes now filled with boundless anger and coldness.
From the mont Leo attacked Yingzi, to Lin Mo killing Leo with a single palm strike, to Lin Mo being dragged into the ice cave by the mysterious seven-colored light to save Yingzi, it all happened too fast.
So fast that there was no ti to react, Shen Feng stood stunned briefly before glaring at Camper.
Wonderful events to continue tomorrow.
