Chapter 633 Wait (3)

Centered on Gao Lingwei, Xia Fangran and Li Lie to her front-left and front-right were also gazing at the blood-red banner up ahead, carried on the shoulders of Cheng Border and Han Yang.

Under the night sky, in a windless world, specks of frost and snow hung suspended in the air. Yet, the blood-red banner billowed and snapped under the assault of a Soul Power Wave.

For a moment, the hearts of Xia Fangran and Li Lie filled with emotion, lost in memories.

Many years ago, they had also explored the Snow Realm Vortexes with the Cyan Mountain Army. Back then, someone else had carried this very Snow Soul Banner before them.

The banner remained, but the standard-bearers in front of them had changed, time and time again.

“Over there. I fled from that direction,” the Frost Beauty said, pointing toward the forest to the northwest.

The Frost Beauty was, after all, a Snow Realm Soul Beast. Compared to humans, she had a natural advantage. Although she couldn’t see as far or as clearly in the dark as the Snowball Cat, her vision was still far superior to that of a human Soul Martial Artist.

Gao Lingwei sat behind the Frost Beauty, the Snowball Cat perched on her head. Following the direction the Frost Beauty pointed, she issued a command, “Proceed to the front-left and enter the forest. I see the figures of Bandit Snow Monkeys. Be on alert.”

As she spoke, Gao Lingwei stretched out her arm, took hold of the Frost Beauty’s arm, and pointed it straight ahead, uttering a single word, “Front.”

The Frost Beauty was confused, not understanding what the human behind her was saying.

Gao Lingwei took the Frost Beauty’s arm again and guided it to the left. “Left.”

The Frost Beauty was quite intelligent and immediately understood what she meant. She began learning the human language from Gao Lingwei, quickly memorizing the pronunciations for the four directions: “front,” “back,” “left,” and “right.”

From the rear-left, Rong Taotao watched Gao Lingwei’s impromptu teaching lesson under the glow of the White Lantern Paper Cage and couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

‘But I have to admit, it’s a beautiful sight…’

From behind him, Si Huan Nian’s voice came again. “If you really encounter a Frost Beauty, don’t try to negotiate. Just use your flower and kill it. The longer one of those femme fatales remains in this world, the more danger there is.”

“Don’t worry. Aside from the siblings Xie Zhi and Xie Ru, all the other Cyan Mountain Army members are equipped with Soul Pearls from the Bailing Tree Maiden clan. That includes me and Da Wei. Not only can they protect our own minds, but we can also use the Bailing Vines to instantly sever any Spiritual Soul Power Threads and protect you.”

“Oh? The Cyan Mountain Army has quite a few resources, huh?”

“Yeah. During the last encounter, we helped the Bailing Tree Maiden clan relocate, right? Their Clan Leader gave me a whole platter of Soul Pearls, like it was some kind of Treasure Basin. We turned them all in, of course, but we managed to requisition quite a few Soul Pearls back. Let me tell you, if you’d been there, you would’ve eaten that whole basin of colorful Soul Pearls like they were candy…”

Si Huan Nian: “…”

Gao Lingwei suddenly spoke up. “No sign of the Pirate Leader Snow Ape, but the Bandit Snow Monkeys are getting restless. Outer perimeter, Cyan Mountain Army, prepare Snow Dragon Tornadoes! On my command!”

As she spoke, Gao Lingwei was already standing on Hu Bugui’s back.

She wore a jet-black half-mask, her long, dark ponytail dancing lightly in the night. Her eyes were closed, her focus entirely on the vision provided by the Snowball Cat.

“Coach Xia, eleven o’clock, approximately 200 meters. Thorny Frost Flower.”

“Got it!” Xia Fangran felt an incredible rush of excitement. He had always been fighting blind in this kind of environment, but now it was completely different. Someone was acting as his eyes!

Xia Fangran immediately summoned a massive Soldier’s Soul over thirty meters long. It hovered above everyone’s heads before he aimed it into the pitch-black night and hurled it forward viciously.

This elite squad, operating unlike any other Snow Burning unit, plunged headfirst into the pitch-black Snow Forest with an unprecedented approach and at a speed other troops couldn’t even imagine!

Driving deep, pressing ever forward!

Xiao Ziru, wait for us!
