Chapter 210: Unrest in the Core Area
Chapter 210: Unrest in the Core Area
The wind was howling in the cold, and the temperature in the Great Northern Wilderness was even colder at night, not even allowing a trace of liquid to exist.
The core area of the Great Northern Wilderness is the most dangerous place, and the strength of the beastmen here is above level 80.
But what is surprising is that there are still villages in this area. I just don’t know how terrifying the creatures must be in such villages to allow the villagers to live here without being harmed.
The Frost Wolf lay on the ice, its thick white and blue fur acting as a blanket, while Jing Cangming and Long Luo were both sleeping soundly.
It was almost dawn, and this was the coldest time in the Great Northern Wilderness. Fortunately, Jing Cangming and Long Luo possessed ice abilities, so they were naturally immune to the coldness of the outside world.
But despite this, I still feel very comfortable leaning on the furry guy.
What is surprising is that they have been sleeping so carefree in this area without being attacked by any beastmen until now.
Even the Frost War Wolf living in the Great Northern Wilderness expressed his incomprehension.
However, the Frost Wolf did not relax its vigilance because of this. Its eyes continued to scan the surrounding environment like searchlights.
But for some reason, I could always see colorful flashes at the edge of the ice, which looked like the light emitted by a treasure, but also like the light of various attribute skills.
At first, there was an aurora in the sky, but the Frost Wolf naturally didn't take it seriously, thinking it was an effect caused by the aurora.
But as time went by, the aurora gradually faded, but the light on the edge was still flickering.
This inevitably aroused the curiosity of the Frost War Wolf, and it gently moved its body, trying to disengage its body without disturbing Jing Cangming and Long Luo's sleep.
Slowly, the two of them slid down the Frost Wolf's body like riding a slide and lay on the ice.
The Frost Wolf ran cautiously towards the light.
Hey, you say this guy is timid, but in this area, it is indeed not big at all. You say this guy is brave, but it actually dares to explore on its own. I don’t know what this guy is thinking.
The Frost Wolf was extremely fast, like a gust of wind, sweeping across in an instant and soon arriving at the glowing place.
The place in front of me is a cliff. The entire cliff is a ring, as if separating the core area from other areas.
The light spot appeared just below the cliff, but strangely, the light did not shine from just one place.
If you look closely, you can see that, regardless of their strength, the glowing points spread across the entire bottom of the cliff.
It looks as if these glowing points follow the cliff and completely surround the core area.
It was night, but the Frost Wolf's eyesight did not deteriorate because of the darkness.
On the contrary, in the dark, the Frost Wolf's vision is brighter.
I focused hard and realized that every light spot under the cliff was a person!
Everyone was wearing the same clothes, all snow-white, with a big word "protect" engraved on the back, making them look like they were part of some organization.
All of these people raised their hands flat in front of them, with their palms pressed against the ice wall, continuously pouring energy into it.
And these energies spread up like a colorful light shield, completely enveloping the core area.
Frost Wolf couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that the place we were just in is not the real core area? Could it be that this is the core area?
But soon, the Frost Wolf verified his guess.
From afar, ripples of various sizes continuously appeared on the light shield, and these ripples were left by the attacks of the beasts within the light shield.
The Frost Wolf couldn't help but frown and stepped back unconsciously.
Because it can clearly feel that the beasts on the other side of the light shield are so terrifying, even the other party's breath makes the Frost War Wolf tremble.
The Frost War Wolf didn't even look at them, turned around and ran back towards Jing Cangming and the others.
At this moment, below the cliff, "Was that a frost wolf just now?"
"Well, judging from the aura, yes, his strength is not very high."
"Hey, it's the middle of the night, and a guy of this level dares to come here and stroll around. He really thinks he's lived long enough."
"Alright! Stop talking nonsense and tighten the confinement! Don't let those guys get out. We'll be free when daybreak comes!"
"Got it!" There was a series of received voices, from both men and women, but judging from the voices, they were not too old.
The Frost Wolf ran back breathlessly, and finally ran back to Jing Cangming.
This time, it did not choose to let them continue sleeping, but used its big head to constantly wake the two of them, trying to wake them up.
The moment the two were touched, they immediately opened their eyes, jumped up from the ice, and prepared for battle.
"What's wrong?! Are there any enemies?!" Jing Cangming said cautiously as he looked around.
The same was true for Long Luo. Long Luo and Jing Cangming were back to back, constantly looking around.
The Frost Wolf shook his head, "No, there are no enemies."
The two of them were relieved after hearing this, "Hey? Why are you so out of breath? Did you go for a run?"
When Jing Cangming heard what Long Luo said, he immediately covered his face. Running? Running is okay.
Frost Wolf said helplessly, "I am crazy. I am running here. Oh, forget it. Come with me!"
After saying that, the Frost War Wolf bent down and let the two of them ride on it.
The two looked at each other and without asking any questions, they climbed onto the back of the Frost Wolf.
Jing Cangming sensed what the Frost Wolf was thinking through the connection, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Jing Cangming turned around and asked Long Luo, "Brother, isn't this the core area?"
Long Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know either. To be honest, this is my first time here too."
Jing Cangming nodded, turned around and said nothing more, but his brows were indeed furrowed, and he was thinking about something.
If the information obtained from the contact is true, then that place might be the real core area. It would not be difficult to explain why they were resting here without being disturbed, and it could also explain why there are villages around.
But...what are those people and that light shield doing? Are they trying to stop something from coming out?
Jing Cangming shook his head and stopped thinking about it because it was useless.
But this is also good news. If they can encounter ferocious beasts of level 80 or so outside the core area, it means that they don't have to take the risk of setting foot in the core area.
With doubts, the two men and the wolf came to the location of the light shield again.
The light shield extended very high, enough to cover hundreds of meters of the ice surface.
But Jing Cangming was surprised. Who are these people and what are their strengths?
The cliff is already several hundred meters below, and the light shield can extend hundreds of meters upwards, which adds up to a thousand meters. What kind of powerful group of people can operate like this?
Long Luo was also paying attention to the humans below who were supporting the light shield.
Long Luo touched his chin and said, "These people are the task force of the royal family of the Northern Continent. Their strength is above level 95."
"Ah?! Above level 95?!" Jing Cangming said in surprise with his mouth wide open.
The Frost Wolf also froze in place.
Long Luo nodded, "Yes, and they must have noticed us being here."
"So what should we do? Should we leave?"
"That's not the case. They must be doing some special mission and can't get away right now."
"Special mission?"
"Yes, the Northern Continent Royal Task Force is composed of one hundred people. All of them are powerful enough to dominate an area. They obey the direct orders of the Northern Emperor, and the missions they undertake are all life-threatening!"
Jing Cangming was stunned when he heard this. There were a hundred people above level 95, and they only obeyed the orders of the Northern Emperor. This was simply unheard of!
But from this we can see that the strength of the Northern Continent is far greater than that of the Western Continent. Let alone a hundred people at level 95, even five would be difficult, right?
Of course, this also includes my father and Grandpa Gu.
Long Luo frowned, "Where they are, there must be big trouble. It is the most dangerous place. Now you see, almost all the people below are dispatched. This shows that there must be problems in the core area."
"It seems that we have to find a different way to find the beast core, otherwise we will be in danger of death," Jing Cangming sighed.
Before Long Luo could speak, a voice came from below.
"Leave quickly, it's dangerous here!"
The voice came from a man below. Although the distance was far, the voice sounded clear and real.
Jing Cangming also asked through voice transmission, "Senior! May I ask what happened here?!"
"Stop asking! Go!" The man did not explain much, but kept asking Jing Cangming and others to leave.
Since it has come to this, Jing Cangming said nothing more, "Thank you, Senior!"
After saying that, Jing Cangming made a look at Long Luo, indicating that it was time to go.
Long Luo also nodded. Although he was quite powerful, he couldn't say that he was more confident than the task force when facing them.
The two of them looked at the ripples that continued to appear on the light shield, and they knew without the other party saying anything that something might have happened to the beastmen inside.
But the two of them couldn't ask too many questions. It would be bad if they caused trouble for others.
After riding on the Frost War Wolf, Jing Cangming and others left.
He said he was leaving, but in fact he found a place a little further away to hide, wanting to wait until daybreak to observe the situation.
But you know what, finding a hiding place on the polar ice continent is damn hard!
But hard work pays off, and they finally found it. However, all the credit goes to the Frost Wolf.
