Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. "

I should leave here as well."

Placing the Xuanyuan Sword behind him, Lin Mo leaped to the edge of the Ice Lotus Pond, stood on the ice layer, then bent deeply at the waist to bow to the pond. After ten seconds, he stood up.

In any case, Lin Mo was grateful to the mysterious elder, for when he was small, Yang Chuxue had taught him that those who helped you in life deserved gratitude.

Siberian Ice Field.

The Second Zone, where snow and ice were swirling, fierce winds howled, and ice grains spun in the air. For tens of thousands of years, this place had been one with a harsh environment where apart from mercenary groups and cultivators, ordinary people could not survive. At

that moment.

A team of about seven people was hiding behind a gigantic rock, shielding themselves from the raging snowstorm. "

Damn it, I didn't expect to encounter a blizzard."

A man with a beard and steel-like muscles cursed angrily. Beside him was a terrifying black wolf fang club.

"We need three spines of the Ice Plain Blood Wolf, and there's less than a week until the deadline. At this rate and with this weather, it's going to be hard to complete this task," said a handsome man with long golden hair, wearing war armor, as he shook his head. "

Leader, how long will this snowy weather last?"

Suddenly, a delicate voice asked. She

was the only woman in the team of seven, appearing to be about ten ** years old, her hair tied into a scorpion braid, cheeks fair, with beautiful blue eyes, a gentle green light emanating from her hand as she was healing an injured teammate's arm. "

At least two to three days, at most it could be half a month, who could say for sure." The bearded man said distressed, taking a big gulp from a wine pouch beside him.

"Does it have to be that long?"

The girl sighed, concentrating, as a green glow formed in her hand, gently brushing over another team member's arm wound, visibly healing it until it appeared rosy.

"Kro brother, your wound has healed, but you still need rest to fully recover," the girl said with a smile, like a snow lotus blooming in the icy land, warming one's heart. "

Thank you, Yina."

the injured man said with a smile. "

Kro brother, my main role in the team is to heal you; that's the most I can do," Yina smiled slightly, her eyes narrowing to slits. "

Yina, take a break too, and have something to eat."

As the leader, the bearded man said. "

Alright, leader."

Yina nodded.

While they were talking, suddenly, the bearded man put down the wine pouch, grabbed the wolf fang club next to him, frowned, and said, "Someone's coming."

Upon hearing his words, everyone's expressions turned serious and wary. In

the Second Zone of the Ice Field, you either encounter fierce beasts or other mercenary groups. Here, the Mercenary Guild does not protect the safety of mercenary groups.

Though the Mercenary Guild forbids mercenary infighting, battles over resources and fierce beasts do occur on the ice. If killed in the field, there's no evidence, and the Mercenary Guild can't investigate. Just

like three years ago when Lin Mo and Yingzi ventured deep into the ice, encountering Camper's ambush. If Camper had killed them, no one would have known. Just concoct a tale of beasts' killings, and the guild wouldn't pursue it. "

Oh, just one person?"

Someone observed, seeing a very blurry silhouette emerge from the snowstorm.

Gradually approaching. It was

a human, only one from the physique, seemingly a man, this detail loosened the tense faces of the mercenary members.

"Who?"

The bearded man picked up the giant wolf fang club, stood up, and with a thick voice, asked. At

this time, the man had already walked closer, revealing his appearance, with black eyes, wearing tight clothes, carrying a large black broadsword on his back, with dense runes carved on it, giving an unsettling feeling. "

Hello."

Lin

Mo had sensed this place having someone from afar, thus walked in. In

the period before fusing with the Demon Cold Flame, Lin Mo's divine sense was suppressed by an unknown force in this icy field. However, after the fusion, his divine thought was unrestricted, able to fully exhibit its capabilities.

"Hmm, are you Asian?"

The bearded man asked. "

More accurately, Huaxia people." Lin Mo grinned.

Lin Mo was alone and greeted warmly, this put them at ease a lot.

"You're also here adventuring on the ice field? But you're alone; you have a lot of guts." The bearded man laughed. "

I was just preparing to head back."

Lin Mo said.

"The blizzard outside is fierce, come rest a while. It's not too late to leave when the storm clears." The bearded man invited.

Once confirming Lin Mo posed no threat, these men were very open-hearted.

Lin Mo also wanted to inquire about the mercenary group's situation, having stayed in the Fourth Region for three years, he knew nothing about the current external circumstances. During

the chat, Lin Mo learned more about them.

This mercenary group was a B-level group called Snow Lion Mercenary Group, and the bearded man was the leader, named Ward. The

injured man was the deputy commander, Kro. And

the girl was a medic for the leader because her innate superpower was restorative, though lacking combat ability, named Yina.

Yina handed a jug of fruit wine to Lin Mo, "Have some wine to warm up."

"Alright, thank you."

Lin Mo grinned, having a favorable impression of these warm mercenary members, much better than Camper's War Axe Mercenary Corps Group.

This time, the Snow Lion Mercenary Group had taken on a B-level task requiring them to hunt three Ice Plain Blood Wolves at the Second Zone's edge and bring back three spines. "

By the way, what's your name? Ward asked. "

You can call me Lin." Lin

Mo took a sip of the fruit wine, feeling warm, and said with a smile. "

Alright, Lin, you dared to venture into the Second Zone alone; you're quite strong. Interested in joining our Snow Lion Mercenary Group?" Ward invited. In

the ice fields, besides some mercenary groups on missions, there are also solitary, proud masters who enjoy wandering and honing their skills alone. "

I'm sorry, Ward Leader, I've already decided to leave the ice field, having other important matters." Lin Mo shook his head, politely declined. "

Alright then."

Ward shook his head in disappointment but did not change his demeanor. Lin

Mo's divine thought swept over every member of the mercenary group. Besides Ward, whose strength was at Star Wheel Mirror four stars, the others were newly entered into the realm, overall quite weak.

"Oh, isn't this the Snow Lion Mercenary Group?"

Suddenly, a somewhat sinister voice rang out.

A group of about fifteen to sixteen people emerged from the crevice of a large rock, outnumbering the Snow Lion Mercenary Group by about twice. The

leading man wore black soft armor, his face slightly pale, appearing sinister, holding a knight sword. He led his men, slowly stepping through the snow towards the Snow Lion Group.

Ward, Kro, and other Snow Lion members looked very upset, picked up their weapons, and warily watched the man approaching.

"Who are they?"

Lin Mo continued sitting on the rock, sipping fruit wine, and asked softly.
