Duanye Mountains, rocky ice fields.
A looming teleportation aperture gradually solidified in the ice and snow, causing a sky full of wind and snow. It was particularly eye-catching in the dark night and looked very magical from a distance.
On the watchtower, a tall young man wearing an animal skin coat lit up. He pointed at the vision in the distance and shouted excitedly:
"Come over quickly and take a look. Is this the birth of a strange treasure, or is the egg of a rare monster successfully hatched?"
Under the watchtower is a dilapidated cabin covered with snow.
The furnishings in the house were simple, except for a table, a few chairs and stools, and only a low wooden cabinet with half of the door missing.
Two men and one woman were squatting on the ground warming themselves by the fire with sad faces.
It was the petite woman who felt something, and she patted the two people beside her with a suspicious look on her face and said:
"At night, the sound of the wind and snow outside is too loud. Listen, is it Zhu Qing calling us? It seems that a strange treasure has been born, or some monster eggs are hatching..."
Hearing this, the two people beside them suddenly became very energetic. The thin young man immediately took out a palm-sized compass and took a closer look.
"One kilometer to the east, the five elements' energy is in chaos. It is indeed possible."
"Ji Lin, the spiritual architect, has said so. Why don't you leave quickly?"
The bearded man beside him was so excited that he bounced off the ground. He grabbed the petite woman who was still stunned and rushed out the door.
But as soon as they opened the door, before they could see their surroundings clearly in the darkness, the two of them were swallowed a big mouthful of wind and snow, and they immediately started coughing non-stop, making the petite woman stomp her feet in anger.
"Chai Wangshan, how many times have I told you that we are in the Rock Ice Field now, not in Wuyan City. Our spiritual energy is severely suppressed. If you continue to be so reckless, we will return empty-handed this time! "
The petite woman took Chai Wangshan's hand away angrily, wrapped her body tightly in the white beast coat, only revealing a pair of bright eyes, and then said:
"You guys wait for me, I'll call Zhu Qing."
Before the two of them responded, the woman hurried towards the watchtower...
"Ah sneeze——"
At nightfall, it was the coldest time of the day in the rocky ice field. The radiance of the directional teleportation faded away, throwing Zhang Zhuo heavily to the ground. The next moment, he jumped directly from a bone-chilling boulder and looked around subconsciously.
In the dark night, the pure ice and snow reflected a few sparse dead trees. On the endless ice field, only the mountains in the distance still looked a little alive, and everything looked desolate.
"Isn't this the old site of Ding Yuecheng? Is it possible that the Jintian Reservoir was built in this barren mountain? But fortunately, I finally left that ghost place. I would rather freeze to death here than be chased by a few fourth-level beast masters. It’s much better… I don’t know what Ningmo is doing now!”
Zhang Zhuo's outfit was bought by Suman for him. It was ordinary extraordinary clothing that he usually wears in spring and autumn. It has no special function of keeping out the cold.
After feeling the biting coldness, he immediately threw the excited silly bird out of the beast control space.
He knew that Silly Bird's Qingluan bloodline had a good talent for ice and snow, and that the ice and snow environment would not only not affect it, but would actually be quite helpful.
Although Zhang Zhuo is a water beast master, he is not one of those ice beast masters who directly form a contract with an ice beast pet. The spiritual energy running in his body is still the water spiritual energy.
Although the ice and snow environment helped him a little, he was still afraid of the cold. Only after summoning the stupid bird and using the 102% ability of the orange beast-control entry to share his talent, could he truly be unafraid of the cold.
Sure enough, as soon as the silly bird appeared, it was so happy that it accidentally made a rooster cry, and Zhang Zhuo also felt the rich water energy in this ice and snow world.
"Yes, although the environment here is a bit harsh, for me, it is a blessed place where I can improve my strength. As long as I can find the direction of Jintian Reservoir, I can get there before Ningmo leads his team to Jintian Reservoir."
He was relatively reassured about Ning Mo's strength.
You know, Zhang Zhuo used almost all the psychic fragments to heal this woman before leaving.
He believed that if she had a space beast pet and was good at speed, if she wanted to run away, there would be absolutely not many people at the same level who could keep her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhuo stopped thinking. When he was about to pick up the silly bird that was struggling to peck at insects in the snow, he wanted to let it explore the location of Jintian Reservoir. However, he was attracted by the shouting from the distance and stopped. Made the move in his hand.
Zhang Zhuo looked back and saw four people walking in the distance, one deep and one shallow, three men and one woman. Except for a bearded man, the others were all very young. Judging from their age, they should be from the Academy of Transcendents. student.
When several people approached, Zhang Zhuo was about to ask for directions when he saw a bearded man coming towards him cursing.
"Did you hear me? Put this snow chicken down and you can go!"
"Chimi?" The silly bird suddenly became furious.
The wind and snow were so loud just now that Zhang Zhuo didn't even hear what the bearded man was shouting. Now he almost laughed out loud when he heard that this man actually mistook the stupid bird for a snow chicken.
"Sorry, this is my pet, not a snow chicken."
Zhang Zhuo didn't talk nonsense to him, he just raised his hand and the stupid bird disappeared.
But he soon felt the coldness in the environment and immediately threw the stupid bird out again.
The implication is very obvious.
Even if you are not a beast master, you can still tell that the snow chicken in front of you is Zhang Zhuo's pet.
"Chai Wangshan, what are you doing? You want to covet other people's pets. You are really not afraid of embarrassment!"
Seeing that the bearded man not only showed no intention of apologizing, but also looked at Zhang Zhuo with a serious look on his face, the petite woman finally couldn't help it anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to try to persuade him to make peace.
"My name is Cheng Yuan, and I come from the Spiritual Plant Department of the Extraordinary Academy of Wuyan City. This is Chai Wangshan, and the tall guy is Zhu Qing. They are both from the Beast Control Department, and the remaining one is the genius Ji from the Spiritual Plant Department. Lin, I wonder what you would call this friend?"
"Cheng Yuan?"
Zhang Zhuo was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but take another look at this woman.
Fortunately, Cheng Yuan is not Chen Yuanyuan. Not only does she look pretty, she also looks petite and exquisite even when she is wearing a large animal coat.
"My name is Zhang Zhuo. Brother Chai must have misjudged me for a moment, so it doesn't matter."
However, after the two of them looked at each other, Cheng Yuan's eyes stopped on Zhang Zhuo's face and could no longer move away.
"Ah, did Brother Zhang also come here after accepting the mission to find ice silkworm grass? We can go together..."
Zhang Zhuo was slightly startled when he heard this. Although he didn't know what ice silkworm grass was, it was always a good thing to find someone to go with him in this barren mountain.
Although these people are not from Wuting City, they are also students of the Transcendent Academy in other Class E cities. They should be candidates for the Beimang Project just like the little fat man.
In this case, no matter what mission they take on, their ultimate goal is to gain honor points.
If I could also find some ice silkworm grass, wouldn't I earn honor points easily?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhuo didn't hesitate, nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll go with you. I'll also dig up some ice silkworm grass."
